Charging Your Content – Seeing The Light

I have a problem. Well, it’s more of an annoyance. We have RING cameras on the front and back of our house. In order to see the widest possible views, they had to be placed up high. Just like my new battery lawn mower and yard tools, the batteries are almost worth more than the…

Elevating Your Content – Topic, Title… Then Tool!

Do you own a lathe? If you do, chances are woodworking is your hobby or business. Do you own a 3D printer? If you do, chances are you are in the manufacturing or design fields. I don’t own either, but owning a 3D printer would be cool and give me status. But, I don’t know…

The Dollars Are In The Data

What Gets Measured… Gets Done? There is a famous saying, “What gets measured gets managed”, or “What gets measured, gets done”.

Last week, we were all served up some Pi (or 3.14 day)! So what is your favorite kind of pie? I like pecan (or do you say pe-con?). Business is like a big pie as well. You want to get your piece, but there is always more than enough to share. The funny thing is…

How Can a Golf Swing Help You Build a Marketing SYS-TEM?

How often do you find yourself getting ads for something that you just searched for? It can be both creepy and annoying. Since the weather is so much better here in North Carolina than in Chicago, I have been lucky enough to play 20+ rounds of golf since January 1st. The golf here, especially in…

Stick a Pin in Your Vision Board… So What’s the Point?

Let’s face it. If you are in business, your main point is to make sales. Another point is to make a sale while making a profit. And one more is, if it costs you less to run the business you get to keep more money. If business was that simple (which it really is) everyone…

What’s Your Marketing Mousetrap? – Part 3

In the final parts of the series, I wanted to show how and why following traditional marketing thinking can hamper your success in B2b marketing. B2b marketing differs from consumer marketing because it’s more relational than transactional, and it often takes longer to go from awareness to trust. That means that there are more steps,…
