I read a great article this morning from ArticleSqueeze on how to effectively market your business during economic times like these. Great ideas that can be applied to any business. Below is an excerpt from the article or get the full article HERE
Send a Thank You Card to Customers
Thank you cards are very affordable and will be appreciated by your customers who will remember you as well as refer you to others. Say Thank You within your invoices and communication. And always wish them much such in their endeavors. A simple Thank You can go a long way.
Be Seen as an Expert
Offer up advice and tips on your expertise and experience. If you are in IT, then offer some helpful tips in the form of blogs on this area such as how to correct a common pc problem. The more individuals who come across your blog will visit your site and the more opportunities to turn visitors into customers.
Stay in Touch
The best way to stay on the minds of your customers is by regular
communication. It could be a newsletter, remembering their birthday or offering
your past customers a special discount. Asking for feedback is also a great way
to keeping the lines of communication open as well as help you develop
future
marketing efforts. By taking the time to reach out, you are paving the way to
generating repeat as
well as new business.
*A note from Brookhollow: Business greeting cards are a great way to stay in touch. Send a business birthday card, achievement card, thank you card or any of our other great greeting cards to stay in touch year round at an affordable price! And don't forget Business Christmas Cards when staying in touch during the holiday season!
Get Out there and Network
Attending local and national events is a great way to network. The name of
the game is NETWORK and
not selling. Networking is really about developing
relationships and forming professional connections that can help grow your
business.

Have you heard the hype about the millennial generation? Whether it be marketing to this generation, trying to appeal as a desirable company for millennials to work at or just gain a better understanding of this group as a whole....companies everywhere are taking notice and learning its a whole new ball game with millennials.
Many of you may be scratching your head as to who or what a 'millennial' is, but before I give you an overview of millennials, lets take a short, fun quiz from Pew Research.Org to see how much you have in common with this generation (scores in our office ranged from a 12 to 94):
Now to perhaps give you some insight as to why you scored the way you did....some fast facts on this up and coming generation provided by Pew Research.Org:
-Mainly made up of 18-29 year olds (born roughly between 1980 and 1990)
-Confident, self-expressive, liberal, upbeat and open to change
-More ethnically and racially diverse than older adults
-Less religious
-On track to become the most educated generation in American history
-3/4 have a profile on a social networking site
-They respect their elders with a majority saying that the older generation is superior to the younger generation

Regardless of your line of business its important to take note of this generation and how it will affect your business in the years to come. Because although they not be buying your products/services now, they will someday....are you ready for them??
Team builders....whether you love 'em or hate em' you have to admit that when executed properly, they work.
Personally, i have a love/hate relationship with them. Upon learning I'm going to be part of a team builder a range of emotions start to flood me. I start to feel nervous (what will they have me do?), excited (yay! something new) and anxious (what if I look like a fool?). But upon completion I always take away something from the experience....learning something about myself, others or a great sense of team spirit.
A few weeks back my boss notified notified our team that we would be participating in a team builder. We
were given a few days notice and were instructed to write down a list of qualities we brought to the team. Our whole department was nervous about what we were going to do with this wonderful list once we got together for the team builder.
The day of the team builder came and we gathered in a conference room sitting in a circle facing each other. We then were told we would go one by one and read what we thought we brought to the team. Then each of our peers would state what they thought we brought the team. The previous person would right down all the nice things people were saying about you so that you could focus on what people were saying and also have a little keepsake to reference on days when you really could use a pick me up.
It was really refreshing to hear what everyone had to say and I learned things about myself as well as my co-workers. We all felt closer after the team-builder and all left feeling good about ourselves.
So next time you're looking for a team-builder try this one. Its simple, thoughtful and it works....
And there's your dose of warm-fuzzies for this Friday! Have a great weekend!
Ever been part of a conversation at work where someone is using lingo to the point where you almost need a secret decoder ring to fully understand what they're saying?
Using buzzwords can make a person feel/sound smart but can also clutter conversation.
Regardless if you're a fan of office lingo or not, you're going to encounter people who use it and you want to be able to understand them when they do. Take this quiz from www.careerbuilder.com and test your buzzword knowledge:
