When Is It Time To Re-Brand?
Why Do Companies Change Their Logo? Small Business Insights: Branding A Guest Blogger post by Becky Duncan Why do companies change their logo or branding identity? Most of the time, it is because companies want to keep up with new logo design trends as they develop to avoid falling behind their current or emerging competitors. It may be that a company has decided to undergo a sudden and complete rebrand or they have decided to slowly merge into a new brand. Either way, a new logo and/or new branding elements must be created to do so. June 2019: Pizza [...]
Laundry Day
Everybody Hates Laundry, But That’s No Reason Not To Do It Small Business Insights: Marketing A Guest Blogger post by Daniel Titus Earlier this week I was meeting with a colleague who has designed a massive site for a large and ever-evolving organization. The site has been built; the code is working; everything is ready to go, but they still haven’t launched yet. Why? Because the week before the scheduled launch date there was a change in the information—then another and another. The information can’t stay current enough for approval, so the launch gets delayed. Exasperated by it all, my colleague [...]
Perception Is Reality
Making The Most Of What You Have Small Business Insights: Marketing Perception is reality...don’t let anyone sell you on anything else. So why not alter perception to your advantage?

The nearest four rows of parking were packed, most [...]

That's right, as a WordPress fanboy I stepped up to the challenge of Joomla. Now everyone knows that the expression "It's not that hard" often turns out to be famous last words.

Apple Victimized By Its Own Success
What Happens When The Bar Is Raised...High Small Business Insights: Technical Originally posted in 2010 Like millions of others, I spent a portion of my day struggling to find a worthwhile feed/stream from the iPad debut. At one point I found myself on a website listening to audio being piped in via cell phone with the corresponding video relying on a video feed from ANOTHER website. And even then, the website with imagery was relegated to frequently updated still images from the event. It was pathetic. I was pathetic for watching it for as long as I did. But [...]
