Found this post on one of my social media news feeds one afternoon. "Two hundred inactive FB 'friends' going today so I can make room for those that want to play here. SeeYa.' This statement was posted by someone I consider a fairly savvy promoter, especially in social media, for a highly visible organization. Of course,…

Recently, I traveled to New Mexico to consult with a dealership about their marketing strategy. The conversation went a bit like this:
DeliveryMaxx: “What are you currently doing with advertising today?”
Dealership: “We are doing print (newspaper), TV, Radio, and I have a billboard two exits down.”
DeliveryMaxx: “How is that working for you?”
Dealership: “I can’t really put an ROI on it, but I think it is branding…

On May 22, 2012 I wrote a blog asking the public if GM made a wise choice dropping its 10 million dollar advertising spend from Facebook. (For the entire blog visit: http://deliverymaxx.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/did-gm-make-a-wise-decision-dropping-facebook-as-an-advertising-medium/ ) My position then as it is now is that GM and many automotive dealerships are…

I was calling the other day to set up some travel and when I dialed I got a real voice versus an IVR. The funny thing was, I checked to make sure I dialed the right number.
Now how funny is that. We are so accustomed to getting a recording (you have reached...) or a support line, (please enter your account #) that when we actually get someone it makes us feel…

“It only takes one bug in the potato salad to ruin a picnic,” according to one of the little old ladies I went to church with as a child. As I move further away from a precocious child and closer to being a sweet little old lady, I am realizing that she was not registering a complaint about church picnics but planting a seed of wisdom that would develop as I grew older. One little bug can ruin the…

Before class started on one peaceful Saturday morning, my yoga instructor made this big announcement with much fanfare that there was some huge event coming to our studio. There were no additional details as to what the event was, when it might occur, etc. Just a stay tuned teaser. I was so excited that I could barely focus during class wondering what this event was, when it was going to occur and…

During a department head meeting in which processes where being discussed, it became evident there was an information gap for our clients. Our recruiting team was reporting a break down in information regarding who we are, what we do and what we have to offer. The team shared how they answer certain questions over and over again. They reported the funny misconceptions that they often hear. I sat…

The sport that so many predicted I would excel at due to my size was actually the sport where I floundered. When it came to the hardwood, the only skill I had was shooting free throws. My coaches could have just given up on me and focused their attention on the superstars on the team, but instead they invested time and energy into the one thing I could do well. In place of teaching me to drive down…

In a previous blog, I told a story about my father being deaf and how this becomes a superpower for him in business.

During a sales meeting, the question of why the company no longer has a stock pile of tri-fold brochures to hand out to potential clients came up. I scratched my head and looked puzzled, since we have not used a single tri-fold brochure in over a year. As a company, we moved away from outdated marketing tools and adopted high tech and interactive tools to meet the requests of our clients. It was then…

The word “social” in social network can be a bit misleading when building an online brand for your company. Social networking was born out of the concept of sharing one’s personal life and not professional endeavors. Today, people as well as companies are using social media to drive personal and professional branding. Social networking is still a format that is deeply embedded in personal…
