I pulled up behind a Prius at a red light.
A sticker on its left rear bumper, in type too small to read unless you were within a car length or two, said:
“Sorry for driving so close in front of you.”
A different point of view on the tailgaters that clearly bug that vehicle owner!
Wed, Aug 28, 2013 — (WARNING: Marketing is Not Advertising – this post is simply on the topic of advertising – see last section below) We’ve all seen billboards on a highway that say, “Does Advertising Work? Just Did!” Are we supposed to believe that since we’ve read these words, their ads are effective? I suppose it depends on their objective. But if it’s such an effective medium, why are they using their ad space to promote…well, their ad space? Why aren’t more advertisers lined up to get their messages out along the highways?
Sun, May 12, 2013 — This is a revised blog, originally posted on UNDER30CEO. I am sure most of you have been in a situation similar to mine. Last month, I attended Social Slam in Knoxville, Tenn. I knew absolutely no one who was going to the conference, but I decided to attend because I believed it was relatively close to my new home in Charleston, S.C. (Seven hours later, in a tremendous rainstorm, I arrived. I stand corrected.) The experience gave me the opportunity to adopt a fresh perspective on attending a conference as an unknown. I knew it would be hard to go and meet people, but I figured, “So what? I’m an adult.” I was up for it — and you should be, too. Pushing myself beyond my comfort zone improved my networking skills and expanded my circle in new ways.
