Attended an impressive meeting of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce Small Government Contractors Consortium. Had some 20 companies represented.
We developed a series of ideas for integrating Web 2.0 into existing businesses and I was amazed by how everyone seemed to like someone else’s idea better than their own.
This was practical thinking by people running operating companies. None of the solutions would take more than a day to implement, and they seemed to be ideas they had been considering for some time.
The biggest hurdle was writing the page of what to accomplish.
My favorite ideas were how to strengthen a LinkedIn page,
Joining the AlexChamber LinkedIn group, and
Setting up a web page.

I agree with Ed that it's a very broad a question. However, Dick is usually pretty precise in what he says or asks...so here goes:
ReplyDelete"Top-of-mind awareness" is key. As such, anything (legal)that achieves that objective I think is worthwhile.
So, in this interconnected high-speed world by replying to insightful blogs is perhaps one of the best ways to gain T-O-M awareness.

The one I idea I have or wish is to be able to target the exactly correct audience to hear the message. Target marketing is getting better but is far from absolute.
ReplyDeleteDan and Ed,
ReplyDeleteSo I remember one time the famous gastronome James Beard was eating a wonderful dinner in a fabulous french restaurant. This commentator from the food network came up and says, "James Beard, the famous gastronome! How would you eat an elephant?"
Beard wipes his beard with a napkin, ponders, belches, and responds, "One bite at a time?"
One bite at a time.
