The most wonderful time of the year

Staples is bringing back The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, perhaps the most well-known and loved back-to-school television commercial ever created. I can’t believe that the commercial series first ran 15 years ago! As a parent, it is kind of exciting to send the kids back to school.

4 Marketing Do’s and Do Not’s

It is better to not advertising at all then to get lazy and send out the wrong message 2. Don’t just talk about equality. Your company and brad will win more loyalty in the market if your company is known for supporting its employees. Human rights issues do make a difference. 3. Do remain s… Continue

A Marketing Symphony In The Making

Like most Web 2.0 areas, social media marketing is not a very well defined or even understood marketing tool. The so called experts have seemed to latch into one or two areas, learned how to use them and hand the word expert on the back end of there name and off they go. Dare I say there are no long term experts only people running ahead of the pack. Truth is we are all running not just to catch up but to keep up it this evolving web world.

Marketing Singularly

Is it possible as I alluded to yesterday to market and measure your marketing to each customer as an individual in real time?

Clients, pricing, market share, so why not help each other out. Sharing recommendations either in f2f or the different SM sites is key to building your referral base and your busine… Continue

When you stack SEM up against social advertising, it wins every time. However, as someone that has run and believes in SEM campaigns, my biggest issues with any type of direct marketing effort is that there is very little longevity. Yes, I know it's possible to optimize Search Engine campaigns but, you still need to invest more time and/or money in them in a month or so to keep your ranking.
