Re: Little Duck Packaging Photos

Packages will be here next week.

I'm hoping to have the product packaged next week so that we can start
shipping packages during the second week of May.

We need to get lots of feedback from parents with toddlers. If I send you a
couple packages, would you be willing to give them to Sophie and let me
know what she thinks?

ALSO...

I need some good pictures of toddlers eating the fruit to use for our
website and in our promotional material. I'm planning on sending out memory
cards with each of the sample packages so that parents can snap some shots
while their kids are eating. Would you be interested in participating?

Re: Turning Tea Into a $75Million Dollar Business with Tedde McMillen | Factor 77

Great job guys.

This has been my favorite Factor77 episode so far.

I love hearing stories about normal people who have a business idea and create something big.

Do you know where I can find a link to buy her "How To Take Your Food Product to Market." workbook?

Thanks,

Zak

I would help people develop business ideas.

There is nothing I love more than brainstorming ideas and executing a plan. I would love to start an incubator that would help early stage start-ups develop their ideas into something big.

Hopefully one day I can do it!

Keep up the good work guys,

Re: Shel Horowitz - Frugal Marketing | Factor 77

Great video guys!

I would say that the most frugal way to market your business is to take full advantage of Twitter & Facebook. Both services cost nothing and have the potential to reach millions of potential customers. I would recommend setting up a Facebook group that indirectly relates to your business niche and then create a fan page that directly relates to your core product. You can also use Twitter to attract potential customers by posting relevant information about your niche. Make sure that you provide links to your website on both Facebook and Twitter profile pages so that users will have a way to learn more about the products or services that you provide.

Many big businesses are starting to realize that they don't need to spend millions of dollars on an advertising campaign to reach their potential customer base. Using social networking tools and viral marketing campaigns can result in a great deal of exposure for a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing.

Wishing you all the best of luck in this venture.

Re: Twitter at TED Conference

Excellent video. The TED conference must be such an enlightening event to attend.

I really enjoyed the Elizabeth Gilbert talk from this year. She talks about "Having A Genius". I would highly recommend it.

Re: NH gas, oil prices plummet

What a change from predictions this summer. At just over $3.00 / gallon average for home heating oil, do you think that now is a good time to lock in your supply for the winter?

We just wrote a story about this topic at The Monadnock Review:
