Re: 5 Questions on the Future of the Press Release

Tim Bossie — Fri, 24 Apr 2015 07:34:01 -0000

You are not kidding about the whole "everyone has an opinion" about press releases! This is especially true of those who have a lot invested in social media, blogging and video. I do believe that you are right in the assessment that the press release is not dead, but dying. However, I would say that having a good press release can help get better results. Of course, there is one factor that is missing that is keeping text press releases still viable; the cost. Video costs more, text is minimal. Sure, the press release is hurting, but it still has some life in it. Just wanted to add my opinion. :)

Re: 5 tips for successful business logo design

Tim Bossie — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 18:27:53 -0000

Great tips for anyone who is looking for a logo design or is creating them. Many times the focus is on the logo design cost rather than the actual product. You can never underestimate the power of a great logo and what it can mean to your brand.

Re: When Is It Time To Switch To Another Web Host?

Tim Bossie — Tue, 25 Nov 2014 11:06:39 -0000

Keeping an eye out for a new web host is always something that should be on the small biz owner's radar. I do like the way that you mentioned web hosting cost last each time you mentioned criteria. Cost is a factor, but not the most important detail to look at. Support, services, and storage are paramount for any website.

Re: 9 Tips For Building A Killer Content Marketing Strategy

Tim Bossie — Tue, 28 Oct 2014 12:34:23 -0000

Love this post! I have to say that in content marketing, or with any marketing plan, consistency is key. Like the line in the Robert Burns poem says, "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry", so goes our marketing plans. They usually start out with a lot of vigor only to go stagnate by going through the motions. Your post is great in that you show many new tools and ways that can help keep that momentum going.

Social media is a great way to get the word out about a salon. In fact, salon marketing through ambient avenues can be extremely lucrative in terms of brand recognition and excitement in clients. Many of our salon clients are realizing the power of social media, image sharing, and being active within these communities.

There is no doubt that LinkedIn is a great way to build a business, but networking should be the main focus. Great points in your article, especially the point about engaging. Building new relationships, strengthening old ones or just adding a new voice the conversation are all important ways to engage and network.

Re: 8 Awesome Ways to Pay with Your Phone

Tim Bossie — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:59:33 -0000

Good list of mobile payment systems Nick. I do believe that mobile payment trends are now a part of our life and perhaps replace cash or cards. Or both someday. The question to ask about all of this is is this a good thing? Paying with PayPal and Square is great, but what about security?

Re: 3 Reasons You Need a Facebook Marketing Plan (and How to Get One)

Tim Bossie — Wed, 13 Aug 2014 18:51:37 -0000

The importance of social media marketing, and especially Twitter and Facebook marketing can not be underestimated. But, having a plan for that type of marketing is also just as important. There are too many people who think that if they just put up a simple page and post a few links each day that they will have thousands of likes in no time. Plan. Study. Analyze and then repeat.

Re: The 5 W’s of Christmas party planning

Tim Bossie — Mon, 21 Jul 2014 09:33:49 -0000

Great "W's" for those struggling with office Christmas party ideas. The most important, at least IMHO, is the "why". Too many times people throw a party because they think it is expected without any real direction. The "why" helps with that.
