Pinterest picks up on this trend magnificiently. You post boards on whatever interests you have and then post pictures on those boards. Others and repin your items or share you boards.

here is an interesting article on using pinterest for your brand. …

QR codes and Short/Text Codes explained for the rest of us.

Posted on December 5, 2011 at 7:51am 0 Comments

Do you know what QRS and Short (Text) codes are? I'm going to explain then for the non techies as they are the best marketing tools going. Both have a greater open rate than email. Lets start with QR codes or Quick Response codes.  These are scannable bar codes just like the grocery store that you embed pieces of info about your business. Mashable does a great job on explaining on video how they are created and how to use them.…

Random Word Blends for Choosing the Right Business Name


Add a little research to your process. Venture into words from other languages and try some random blends. Generate intrigue and curiosity. If interesting enough, some will wonder and others will even ask, “Where did you get your name from or what’s the inspiration behind your name?” Be sure to choose a name with substance; a name that when translated in your native language, sounds magnificent, has valued meaning, or essence. For example, Savvy Writer in Spanish is Savvy Escritor, in Turkish is Anlayışlı Writer, in Latin is Writer Xenium and these are just to name a few for ideas. Google Translator (translate.google.com) is a great tool for testing random words in other languages.
