5 Reasons a Local Business Owner Should be Involved in Social Media
There are many reasons that every local business should be involved in local social media. I’ve found that if it takes more than five reasons, then they are afraid of what they don’t understand, or are fearful of change. To go beyond five you are just reaffirming to someone who believes in what you are…
Using Social Media Apps with Promotions
We’re rolling out social media promotions for a local client of ours. The business will be giving away a pair of season tickets to the Oregon Ducks 2010 Football season. A hot ticket! The Ducks went to the Rose Bowl last year and had been picked to win the Pac-10 again. The Ducks have sold…
Media Fragmentation, It Always Seems To Happen
How much has social media fragmentation affected your audience and at what cost? Traditional media tries to entertain an audience and keep it, so they can then sell advertising within that form of entertainment.

They may have seen a couple of BMW’s or Mercedes pull into…
Why the answer should be “Yes” to an Ad Agency
In a lot of cases you could be dealing with several vendors with all the POS, printing needs and all the different avenues that you advertise in or want to advertise in.

Twitter Marketing Strategy: Tweeting with Frequency
As any good radio account executive or business owner knows, the frequency is necessary with radio. I’d argue frequency is critical for Twitter marketing strategy as well. With radio being the active medium that it is, users are usually active at what they are doing while listening. They are getting ready in the morning, driving,…

Keeping Media Buying Simple
For most small business owners dealing with media buying is like dealing with an ever-changing alphabet soup. This is primarily because the language of media is cluttered with acronyms.
