Get creative with digital signage
Last week, I spent my winter vacation with my husband in Quebec, Canada, where we visited one of the most creative seasonal businesses that I have ever had the occasion to consider: a hotel constructed almost entirely of snow and ice, the Hotel de Glace.

In this case, someone who decided that creating what is essentially a fancy igloo near Quebec City could be a money-maker. He was right, and since 2001, roughly 500,000 visitors have stopped or stayed overnight (like I did) at the hotel during the roughly 10 weeks its doors are open.
