PostsHair dryers 16th January 2017 2:33 PM I just like to save 5 minutes drying my hair, so have it short intentionally CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE - or are we? 16th January 2017 11:24 AM I am self professed fan of Seth Godin. If you don't know who he is or not come across him, then this is a great example of how he examines the world we live in from a marketing perspective. How to make a sign There it is, at every entrance to the terminal at LaGuardia, one of the busiest airports in the world: TERMINAL CLOSED between 12:00 a.m. Ticketed Passengers & A few questions on our way to fixing this: Who is it for? What impact will it have on everyone else? To the sign maker: Are you angry? Frustrated? Trying to teach people a lesson? What does it sound like when you read it aloud? and... is it clear? When I look at this sign, I wonder why it needs to say, "until further notice." After all, aren't all rules in place until further notice? And why say 12:00 a.m. when midnight is so much more clear? Do we really need to alert employees to this rule every day? Mostly, though, the headline is confusing (every person reading this sign for the first time is sure the terminal is closed right this minute, until they read the next line). Perhaps, then, it might be a better sign if it said: Hi. To keep this terminal clean, it's closed Does it make you think about some of your marketing messages? Less is more? Be clearer? He sends out blinders like this every day, so if interested here is Seths Blog
Genius Marketing Image for Breast Cancer 16th January 2017 11:00 AM Saw the girl that came up with this image on the news this morning, what a superb idea. I loved her reasoning and rationale for the imagery. Traditional campaigns tended to be text based or use safe images due to obvious decency and censor issues around pictures of boobs on marketing and social media channels. But she wanted to come up with a way of quickly, easily and visually getting across lots of important information that has the potential to save countless lives. Lemons!

“I've got a feeling that it'll be ok if you accidentally leave a note in a pair of trousers say, when you put them in for washing. It'll certainly give a whole new meaning to the term 'money laundering'!”
Question is, has anyone tried the theory and washed one yet? Working with the missus 16th January 2017 10:39 AM Nice story Ave and good for you. So no rows working with the missus? Can be a recipe for disaster Train Service Disruption Chaos 16th January 2017 10:37 AM

Fantastic Starting a blogging sindacate 16th January 2017 10:36 AM Unfortunately there has been a lot of scaremongering in recent times when it comes to blogging. Google said it would crack down on spammy guest posts, then some SEO "experts" declared the end of guest blogging, or prophesied the end of blogging in general. It's all cobblers as long as you remember it's about quality and relevance. If you have a blog about ice cream, then having someone guest blog about Forex trading is clearly spam. Likewise if your blog is nothing more than a collection of guest blogs of varied subjects, then that looks more like an article directory of yesteryear. But having occasional on topic and good quality guest posts on your blog are absolutely fine. Problem is finding them. Assuming your blog is about bulldogs, then you need to become the go to resource about bulldogs. Invite other bulldog experts to do a post, maybe breeders talking about things to look out for in puppies. Maybe you could invite a vet or expert to write about typical health conditions of the breed. Can you contact any competition winners, past and present. Maybe they could write about the excitement of winning a trophy, or telling owners how to go about showing for themselves. If its your blog, keep control of the content and direction. Once you have obtained credibility and and popularity, people will naturally approach you and ask if you can publish their posts. No magic bullet, just hard work reaching out and forging contacts, but use social media to find your target audience and approach them. Worse they can say is no |
