We talk a lot about integrating social media and other online marketing techniques into your business.  We have a passion for it.  But no amount of Facebook, Twitter, or blogging is going to help if you don’t have a home base.
Your website should reflect your company and be more than just an informational page.  This [...]

Social Media breaks ground

HubSpot recently mentioned a great study conducted by the Center for Marketing Research at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth that I think is worth digging into. 
The study takes a look at how Inc. 500 companies have been using social media over a three year period (2007, 2008 & 2009).  And here are a couple key points that [...]

Porridge Papers Dancing
We have to break out of the office and do a little dancing over lunch time.  And Porridge Papers gave us the opportunity to do just that.  It all started with a facebook contest for one of their awesome swag bags.

Working the Blog

How many blogs would a weblog blog if a weblog could blog blogs?

It’s a Small World

small world #2

It seems a little ironic, but social media is taking us back in time.  Back in time where businesses cared about their customers and what they had to say.  Back in time where everyone in town knew that Susie makes the best cinnamon rolls.  Back in time where everyone talks.
The world is getting smaller because [...]

Pick your Battles

Do you feel overwhelmed when you think about branding yourself online?  Not sure where to begin, or how to proceed?  Sometimes we all get so excited and sign up for every community or application under the sun.  Then our accounts just sit there.  We may update a status here and there, or maybe have forgotten [...]

Hire an Expert

Neither Snow Nor Rain Nor Heat

I’m a DIYer at heart.  I like to learn and do as much as I can by myself.  But something I’ve learned as I get busier is that it’s actually cheaper for me to hire out experts.  Not to mention less stressful.  Rather than me figuring out how to do something, I am better spending [...]
