Check Your Filters

The mid-point of the year is good time to handle those tasks set for periodic review such as checking your batteries in smoke alarm, checking the oil in your vehicle or changing your AC filter. Changing and checking our filters is certainly not confined to equipment and machinery. The continuous changes in the delivery of media, both traditional and social, make it a necessity to check the filters for all of the communication broadcasts and messages you are receiving and transmitting.

Time for Fun

I know I’m preaching to the choir here but our lives are busy. Our society faces incredible demands this day and age.  We are expected to do more with less and we live in a 24/7 culture.

Karen Moore, MCG’s founder and CEO, is serving as the 2011 March for Babies Chair – a role that comes with the task of raising $50,000. So when Sweat Therapy Fitness—the fitness studio where I am an instructor—decided to celebrate its grand opening in a larger space in Midtown, Tallahassee with a daylong charity ride, it presented the perfect opportunity for……

Planning Your Ad Placement

When small businesses are developing their communications and marketing plans, it is useful to know where people are getting their information about your product and/or service.  While formal research is always a wise investment, the Internet offers some additional valuable resources for gathering good data.  I thought I would pass on information from this month’s survey by Google of the list of the largest 1,000 sites worldwide, based on unique visitors to the site, as measured by Ad Planner. This list is updated monthly as new Ad Planner datasets are released. The list defines sites as top-level domains. I listed below……
