Give Thanks for Lounge Pants and Slippers!
Heading into Thanksgiving, I have been paying attention to all the Black Friday ads out there. Every year, the market to grab your hard-earned dollars becomes even more fierce. This year, some stores are even opening on Thanksgiving itself!
I prefer the comfortable approach to the holiday craziness...that being online shopping. Honestly, with my passions for internet marketing, it would be almost a sin if I was spotted in one of those long lines on Friday, wouldn't it? And, really, what can't you find these days online for the same prices?
So I encourage you to go out to cyberland now and do some research. I bet you'll find great deals, while sitting at home in your lounge pants and slippers. You do use your computer in lounge pants and slippers, don't you?
Anyway, have a great Thanksgiving everyone, and be thankful for all you have!

Show Me the...Pudding!
I have been talking to quite a few marketers out there lately. There are certainly a lot of them out there. I'm one of "them" too. Meeting with people like myself got me thinking...
First, how am I different? I love talking internet marketing, social media, sales and on and on and on. So do a lot of others out there.
Next, what makes a marketer a marketer? I think I answered both questions by re-reading my last blog post about being genuine.
Of all the hundreds of self-proclaimed marketers out there, what it seems to come down to is the pudding. The old saying, the proof is in the pudding really applies. I've worked for companies and people in the past who say they are marketers, but really don't have a process or practical experience to back it up. Sometimes self proclaimed marketers talk to talk, but really can't back their words up.
So to me, what sets marketers apart is the ability to apply hands-on experience and convert it to real results for customers. So by being true to yourself and the knowledge accumulated through experience, you will be the best marketer to your customers and your company.
So anyone seeking help with marketing needs to ask the question...show me the pudding!
