Dancing with Creativity Galore

Noise!

For most of the past several weeks (and beyond), I’ve been hearing an unearthly amount of noise in the form of social media, blog posts, newsletters, articles and more. (It’s probably a lot quieter on the Pinterest and Instagram side since they’re just visuals, but I’ve been too busy to take a look.) It’s just been chock-a-full with endless information streaming out, like the dam’s already broken.

Even this past week, Gary Vaynerchuk came out with […]

The Night Before Cornucopia’s Christmas

2018-01-17T15:31:09-08:00

It’s been a wee bit busy here at Cornucopia Central these past few weeks. I saw the newsletters mounting up in my own inbox. I decided the very BEST ADVICE I could give my readers for the end of the year was: (drumroll, please!)

Relax! Let your brain rest before tackling the New Year round of setting new goals, creating new strategies and employing new tactics to achieve those goals.

After all, the world didn’t […]

Creating a Big Holiday Impact

2018-01-17T15:31:10-08:00
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou’s sentiment is never more true than during the holidays. And whether or not it’s your family, friends or customers, the statement remains true: They may forget the details of your products or services, but they don’t forget how […]

Mission Possible: Big Strategy

2018-01-17T15:31:10-08:00
"The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore." Dale Carnegie

I mentioned I’d been in need of a bit of inspiration and nudging as I tackle my big project. (What about you?) Mr. Carnegie (above) seemed to have the right idea: (paraphrasing) Keep at it and don’t leave your boat tethered to […]

Mission Possible: Big Marketing

“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome." -William James

I’ve had a difficult task in front of my face for some time. I’ve been supremely good at finding ways to procrastinate getting this project done. There’s the really good excuse: lots of other client projects that pop up. There’s the wimp out excuse: doing […]

Occupy Marketing!

They were at it again Friday, rain or shine.

(Why on earth is she sending out her newsletter on Saturday, of all days? I’ll tell you why: Testing! Testing! Testing! Research shows Saturday is a wildly successful day for email marketing. So I say, “Prove it!” I’ll let you know the results.)

As rain pelted the San Francisco Bay Area (for the first time seemingly in months), occupiers were doing their thing […]

Are You Waiting for the Marketing Genie?

Marketing Genie Lamp

Have you seen those Progressive Insurance commercials? You know…The ones with the pushy gal with the headband and funky voice?

In the commercial, folks go into an insurance ‘retail’ store to choose auto or home policies off the shelf. It looks just like how we used to buy software. (Remember when we used to buy software off the shelf?) Big colorful cardboard box, shrinkwrapping, fancy packaging – in […]
