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...
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 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...
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...
Howdy ladies and gents. Just wanted to direct you to a guest post of mine that just went live today. We’re talkin’ balls, kahunas and grits! 😉 Hope you enjoy and if you do I’d love for you to share it or leave me a comment and tell me how you’ve got moxie too.
This is a guest post contributed by Michael Alexis from WriterViews. He breaks down a recent interview with Ana Hoffman of TrafficGenerationCafe into 6 simple steps to becoming what’s commonly dubbed an “authority blogger”. I have lots of respect for Ana as a fellow blogger, so I felt compelled to share this wealth of information with you, my dear readers. (I know, I’m...
This is a guest post from Stephanie on intangible benefits, and how you can use them to inspire customer interest and loyalty with your brand. Granted it’s not always easy to pinpoint those intangibles (meh… maybe that’s why they are called intangible!) but once you do you can learn to highlight and use them to your business advantage. People are rarely interested in a play-by...
This is a guest post by a chap named Devin Anderson. And get your mind out of the gutter people! 😉 I know you went there! This is actually quite an informative read on making yourself prominent in the Google SERPS for your name. Hopefully I don’t have to tell you how valuable that can be. I’d appreciate if you’d make him feel welcome in the comments below and drop any questions...
Howdy BGB’ers.. this is a guest post by Christian Arno on a topic not yet covered on BGB… international branding. I’ll be honest and say it wasn’t something I was thinking of when I started BGB and it’s possible it’s not something you’ve thought of either when branding your business. However he nailed home some important points, so read and implement if...
