I'm all for creative, outside the box approaches...and Hooters girls...but cold calling and/or creative alternatives still aren't much of a marketing strategy.

I generally decide to stay out of discussions like this because there is just so much misunderstanding and misinformation...it seems impossible to know where to begin. What you need is a marketing concept, plan and supporting process. Cold calls may or may not be a part of your process. They...

Interesting FT story about social media for business.

My bad, Rep. I couldn't have known that any of that stuff has been shared illegally. If I had known, I would not have posted. I'm guessing the same is true of the fine folks at Smashing Magazine. If you don't mind the suggestion, perhaps you could get in touch with them to provide details.

Not all useful for sign design, but some real nuggets here...especially as you scroll.

:) Thanks Doug. That was an excellent lesson!

Thanks Doug, for mentioning this thread! If you're in the marketing business, you can't afford to ignore social media. I'm on Facebook and twitter, mostly. BTW, this is another terrific social network to be on, especially as a premium member. Lastly, here is a "must see" in social...

Yep. And that's bad because...(?) Pardon the expression(s), but Microsoft Office 2007 is an abortion. All of the Microsoft Live stuff that came with Vista is shite, too, as far as I'm concerned. I have no interest in computers and their operating systems. They're just a tool. When I buy...

Vista? All I know is, my next PC...will be a Mac. (Sorry...I know that doesn't help).

I can tell you where to find the mudflap girl herself...does that count?

Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome, from up the 400.

Welcome Jeff! You're gonna love it here. And you must love it there...Ottawa is a great town!

A few years ago, I worked with a nice couple who had purchased a failing sign franchise. These people were new immigrants who spoke English tentatively, and had no sign industry experience whatsoever. Their work backgrounds were in retail sales and merchandising. Within two years (this is...
