If you’re a small biz owner struggling to get your products/service and brand, you’re not alone. Every business faces this mountain at some point. Climbing that mountain can be downright discouraging when results don’t happen as quickly as you think they should. Fortunately there is no lack of creative (aaaandd not so creative) ways to get your business out there to the public and generate buzz...
Actually, I believe it’s “Guerrilla” derived from the Spanish term guerrilla warfare, but hey… tomato, tomatoh. The picture was nifty. Anyhoo, this is a guest post courtesy of Julie with some rather umm… creative… marketing techniques even the big guys are using on occasion. However, a word of caution. These tactics are not for the faint of heart, nor do they...
This is a guest post courtesy of Lior, back again to share his extensive knowledge with BGB.

Let’s make him feel welcome by starting a bit ‘o conversation shall we? So many things happen on Wisteria...

So I figured since I wrote a post all about guest posting and why it’s a great promotional strategy… I figured I might better follow that up with a few handy do’s and don’ts for all of you out there who are a bit impulsive and want to jump in head first. (And don’t try to deny it either!) It all sounds pretty simple in theory- you drop a line at handful of high...
