A marketing idea needs to tell the story of the company, find ways to get attention and share the companies story effectively.

Elements of a good campaign: Send the right message, Discover who is your audience, Tell them what you do, Then tell them to do something give them a call to action.

Get noticed and take a fresh approach— an insurance agent takes doughnuts to all the repair shops in town on Fridays people ask were they can get insurance on their car and the insuarance agent that brings them doughnuts comes to mind.

Business cards are an older way of getting your name out but now they need to be tactile so the person not only sees the information but feels the card and remembers it from all the other cards or now addresses they get in their phones.

Telling your story and how you tell it matters. Learn something to tell at the dinner table pass on the conservation and information through our stories. The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up!

Kori Heuss a few years ago had the idea and suggested to Heartland Senior Services to do a Trivia Night with teams and a master of ceremony—Bernie and Linda White have done 52 nights at 4-6 a year. This was a successful idea from an outstanding marketing person.
