Summertime Marketing Blues

You felt it! I am feeling it today! Those summertime marketing blues. You wanna be outside in the sunshine.  Sitting on the deck with a beer. Maybe floating down the river. Or possibly on a beach for the whole day doing nothing but putting on sun-screen trying not to get burnt! But instead… You are in front of your computer. Cuz… Sales just don’t happen on their own.

QR codes never died. People, and mainly marketing gurus, were not using them effectively! Too many businesses slap a code on a sign and hope for the best.

Ever feel like you’re drowning in social media platforms? Like you’re juggling TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and whatever new platform just launched last week? You’re not alone!

Friends in Low Places Lead to Great Results

The first time I heard Garth Brooks croon about having “friends in low places,” I was driving my GMC half-ton along the backroads of the flats in hay season.

By sundown, we had the his baler working and brought ours over and helped him get the hay done that night. That wasn’t charity. That was  simply farmers helping out a neighbour!
