The Best New Year’s Resolution for Your Marketing

It wouldn’t be a new year without New Years’ resolutions. We’ve made plenty of them in our time. We’ve promised ourselves we would lose weight or eat right or a whole host of other things. Some of these resolutions never survived beyond the New Years’ party we were attending at the time. Others bit the dust even before February rolled around.

If you’re serious about taking your business to the next level, here’s one New Years’ resolution you’ll want to keep. This year spend time working ON your business and not just IN your business.

Plan Your January Marketing Now

The holidays are a wonderful time, filled with cheer and joy. They’re also a busy time. You’ve got office parties, family gatherings, shopping and a million and one other things to fill your schedule. If you’re not trimming the tree, you’re looking through online sales trying to complete your Christmas shopping without rupturing your bank account.

It’s no surprise that with so much going on you might be tempted to put off planning for next year’s marketing until things get back to normal. Don’t fall into that trap. The best time to make a plan is before you actually need that plan. The sooner you get started, the more time you have to think it through and to make adjustments.

Change the RULES of Mobile Marketing.

Before now, mobile marketing was severely limited. You could only send a single text in response to a single incoming text message. This caused people using mobile marketing to settle for less than effective marketing strategies.

Let Thankfulness Continue

Let Thankfulness Continue

Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving -  a holiday for celebrating family and friends, and for giving thanks for the good things in life. Some people are comfortable expressing gratitude year-round, but if you find you only think about being thankful during the Thanksgiving season, read on for some things to consider.

Tackle a Winning Marketing Plan with these Steps

There’s a lot that goes into winning a game on the gridiron. One part is to come up with a great game plan, and another is to execute that plan to perfection. But win or lose, it doesn’t stop there. After the final whistle has blown, it’s time to head to the film room to carefully examine what went wrong and look for ways to improve upon it. You can also figure out what went right and look for ways it can be repeated.

Q1: Ready? Here We Go!

The holidays were great, but now the Christmas tree has been sent back to the storage room and the glitter and tinsel have been packed away until next year. 2019 is here and it’s time to get it started. The first quarter of the year is a great time to open strong and set the stage for a dynamic year. In order to make that happen, here are a few things you’ll need to do.

Happy 2019!

10, 9, 8, 7… the ball drops and… yes! Confetti falls, glasses are raised and Auld Land Syne plays in the background. January 1st! It’s a brand new year, full of hope and promise. This night we put 2018 to bed and look forward to all 2019 has to offer.

As we take stock of last year, we realize how grateful we are for everything we’ve been able to accomplish, and we raise a glass to you— our clients— who helped make it happen.

Yes it's almost January

Yes it's almost January

In just a few fast weeks, the 2018 holiday season will be a memory and we will be on to another exciting year as business owners. Exciting, that is, if you are ready to hit the ground running. If you need a little help with your creative thinking or problem-solving, here are 15 creative exercisese exercises we found 'around the web'. 

How Will You Make Your Holiday Marketing Special?

There are people out there that just seem to blend into the background. They’re not tall. They’re not short. They’re not particularly fat or thin, young or old. There’s nothing about them that really stands out. In fact, you could probably pass them on the subway five times and never give them a second look.

You can probably think of products and the advertisements for those products that are just like them. They sit on the shelf doing nothing to distinguish themselves from a dozen other similar products. Their ads are barely a blip on the radar. It’s almost like elevator music in a way, and it’s exactly what you don’t want for your holiday marketing campaign.

Did You Take Advantage of Black Friday?

Black Friday is the granddaddy of all retail holidays. Since the late nineteenth century, it’s marked the unofficial beginnings of the Christmas season. It’s even been designated a state holiday in nearly half the country. Yes, state offices from California to Maryland close up shop, allowing state employees some quality time to find good bargains.
