Change is Good – Don’t Be Afraid to Adjust Marketing Budgets
Many people are afraid of change and are set in their ways, especially when it comes to marketing. The notion is that if current marketing efforts are bringing in sales, why fix them? Why reinvent the wheel?

The day is finally here…I’m preparing for Bimmerfest and will be heading out shortly. Woo hoo! I received a few calls regarding location of the show, when it starts, etc. so I wanted to post information for everyone to ensure you have no trouble getting to the show.
SEO Meta Branding – Corporate Identity for the Internet
Over the years I have come across a few branding downfalls, which are roadblocks to success and hinder the portrayal of a transparent, representative, focused company. These downfalls are not seen in television commercials, print ads or banners. Instead, they’re spread throughout the internet.
