Getting publicity and creating momentum is never easy - but definitely worth the effort. With the launch of our newest product line it was time to get a new press release out there! Well - talk about a group effort!
I have been very fortunate to have received quite a bit of press over the last couple of years - I was amazed the last time I Googled my name - but it is important to keep the press fresh, so back to the drawing board.
This release went through many versions before we finally decid… Continue
S1 is going GREEN!!! We are so proud to bring our Made in the USA Green line of Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Bags and Backpacks to market.
As our line has expanded I have always dreamed of a Made in the USA line of products, but alas, none of the factories her in the US can work with the materials that the line of S1 bags is made of. There was no way I was going to sacrifice quality for the US label - so in China our manufacturing remained.
Then came our Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Bags and Backp… Continue

Wow - I can still remember the Y2K frenzy like it was yesterday - and that was 9, count them 9, years ago! It's a silly cliche but true - how time does fly!
Well - I don't know about you - but I want to make 2009 the best year my business has ever seen. I want to find more ways to use the new technology to my best advantage and make the day to day business of online networking an art form! Too much to ask - I don't think so.
With all the tools at our fingertips, we should be able to create a n… Continue

It is not unusual to hear small business people say that they don’t do any marketing; that they get most of their business through referrals. Despite these claims, they continue to pass out business cards and meet with people, make changes and enhancements to their products/services, make pricing decisions and seek ways to distribute their products and services more efficiently. Doing these things independently of one another without a coordinated plan is more of an issue than assigning the name… Continue

To blog or not to blog...the ruling is still out on this one. Some people you speak to will say that blogging is an integral part of your online presence, others will say that blogging is becoming passe and that it is better to use twitter to get yourself out there.
Well - as someone who is finally getting the hang of blogging I just can't jump ship - I want to build this end of my social network, too.
The real question is - why can't you do both? Why can't we blog, tweet, tweem, post, be link… Continue

There are many different social networks that business professionals can choose to be a part of. There are fewer that are dedicated to a single discipline or expertise. Marketers-R-Us is the newest online community for business professionals that practice or have an interest in the field of marketing.
We hope that over time Marketers -R-Us will become one of the premier gathering places for marketers from all industries to come together, share ideas and move the discipline forward.
As with any new venture there will be rough spots, but for those of you who join early on you have an opportunity to set the tone and direction of this site.
We hope that you will visit often and contribute ideas and content, pose questions and provide answers, begin new relationships or rekindle old ones. In reaching out to all of the people that have made a difference in my career, I was struck by the depth and breadth of the skills and competencies you all bring. Advertising, market research, strategic market planning, entrepreneurs, sales --every function and facet of marketing is reflected in the expertise and background of this group.
Each of you have a wealth of knowledge that is of value and can be used to move the discipline of marketing forward. Thank you all for joining and stay tuned for more.
