10 Yetis Examples of Good and Bad PR - Monday 30th March 2020

Happy Monday!

Can we all give ourselves a pat on the back for surviving week one of isolation/lockdown? I’m on day 10 of working from home and I miss everyone at 10 Yetis so bad – thank god for Skype video calls! And the HouseParty app – it’s AMAING! If you haven’t downloaded it yet, seriously do!

Anyway, let’s dive into what we’re all here for… good, good and more good PR (there’s enough bad in the world right now, we don’t need to be focusing on that – am I right?!).

ALDI staff to get a bonus

Yep, backdated to March 9^th, all staff at ALDI are going to get a 10% bonus to thank them for their hard work during the current pandemic.

It’s brutal working in a supermarket right now (my awesome mum works in ASDA)… shelves are empty and can’t be replenished quick enough and some shoppers are just downright rude. There have been fights between shoppers with fellow shoppers, and even shoppers attacking staff. There’s just no need.

So it’s great to see that one supermarket giant is preparing to thank all of its hardworking staff and is acknowledging just how bloomin’ ace they are right now!

This will take effect for the hourly rate from March 9^th until May 1^st (but this could well be increased as the pandemic continues to develop).

PE with Joe Wicks

OK, so not exactly breaking news, but The Body Coach has been offering YouTube live PE sessions every day (Mon to Fri) at 9am to help parents keep kids occupied, fit and healthy.

Many of us at 10 Yetis have been taking half an hour out of the day to join in live with Joe and the millions around the world taking part and, let me tell you, it is HARD! But I’m really enjoying it and it’s both keeping me fit & healthy but also putting me in the right frame of mind to start my day.

I’ve been into health & fitness for a few years now but have never really brought into Joe; but I can honestly say I am a BIG fan now. What he’s doing is amazing!

But he’s not the only one; the daily schedule currently sits at:

• 9am – PE with Joe Wicks
• 10am – Music with Myleene Klass
• 11am – English With David Walliams
• 1:30pm – Dance with Darcey Bussell
• 3pm – Maths with Carol Vorderman
• 4pm – History with Dan Snow

This is a truly, truly amazing thing that celebrities are doing to help parents!

And a big shout out to my PT, Keira @ DW Gloucester, who is regularly hooking me up with workouts when I can’t make it to the gym right now. I WILL get into a gorgeous wedding dress and feel amazing for it!

Sam is in the House

I’m going to give a really good PR shoutout here to the HouseParty app that I briefly mentioned at the start.

It’s completely free to use and you can see & speak to all those you’re missing right now; family, friends, people in other countries. And not just one person at a time; you can talk to a who ebunch (although I’ve not tested so I’m not if there’s a limit).

You can even play games; I’m a total boss at Quick Draw! Hit me up if you want a game..

What’s more, the app is totally free and is NOT covered in annoying ads.
