This is a guest post courtesy of Amanda with her take of the top 5 oddball (yet oddly effective) promotional items you might want to consider implementing for your business and brand. I personally love the fuzzy frizzy finger duster and the magic answer ball. Another cool item I’ve seen used in the past are those small round rubberish things that people can use to twist the lids off of jars...
Hey there BGB’ers… this is a guest contribution regarding something highly important to the success of your biz. In a word? Money honey! OK so that’s two words. Sue me, maybe you’ll get some. 😉 Actually this post is more about the MANAGE-ment of money which we all know is just as important as making it. If you don’t learn to manage it properly you can make money all...
This is a guest post contributed by Adam Powers on Miz Snook-ay Snook-ay. Why would you want to read such a post you ask? Well… barring the inevitable “BECAUSE I SAID SO” shout, I recommend you read it because you might just learn a thing or two about growing a brand. People like Snooki don’t just “fall into” fame and build loyal followers (well… at least...
This is a guest post courtesy of Lewis Love (<3 that name) that I hope you find useful. As any small business owner knows, to leverage your efforts can produce great rewards… but it can often be tough to do on a tight budget. Hiring international students (and actually college students in general) can be a great way to help you gain that leverage but still respect yourself and your...
This is a guest post courtesy of Alan Grant. I thought it’d be a fun piece to share with my fellow dorks as choosing your work space can vary massively based on personal predispositions. This post highlights a couple (ahem) less than traditional ideas for your office. My advice for the day? EVERY one should have an office in a fracken tree! Now who wants to make me one? 😉 Oh and as always...
This is a guest post courtesy of Christian Muller on three big potential risks that can often go hand in hand with a rebranding effort. While it’s not impossible to do successfully, it’s also not always easy. In fact I’d even go so far as to propose it’s never easy! But if you keep in mind these brief tips from Christian, you can increase your odds of a successful attempt...
Howdy hoo BGB’ers! Just wanted to give you the heads up on a guest post that went live last month, but I missed the public unveiling somehow and failed to share it with you guys! So here ’tis if you’re so inclined. Enjoy and I’d love comments, sharing and feedback as always!
This is a guest post by an old buddy named Nick Thacker. Since I’m all about leverage and teaching yourself to work smarter (not harder) I thought this was a great fit for BGB readers. And since this blog is about biz and branding… well how could I resist?! So cop a squat, whip out your granny glasses, and get to readin’. And when you’re done, be sure to drop a thought in...
Howdy doody all. OK so I am definitely not yet on the Pinterest bandwagon as yet (still waiting on that invite Pinterest! Hint. Hint.) however all I see and read about lately is Pinterest this, Pinterest that. So when Tom approached me regarding a guest post on the very topic, I said sure, I’d be happy to run it because I might learn a thing or two along with you guys! Entrepreneurs live...
Just ran across this by Copyblogger and had to share with my BGB’ers. MAD fab! And the pic that accompanies it, I found and just thought it looked really cool and all immortal-y. Heh. Anyhoo, hope you get a kick out of both and feel free to pass the graphic along to your own people and mayhap reveal Copyblogger’s awesomeness to a few new fans that haven’t yet found ’em...
