Building a better brand
While speaking at a conference, I was approached by a company that markets in the business-to-business space asking how they could gain more exposure using brand marketing.
They admitted sales results had been disappointing, and since the economy had slowed, they were having a problem meeting sales quotas.
When I asked what their normal marketing process was, they said they try to use a balanced mix of many different marketing communicati… Continue

Finding Positives in a Negative Slant. - repost
"Madison Avenue design meets Madison Wisconson price."

"You don't have to be a Fortune 500 to look like one"

Clients Who Sabotage!

So that got me thinking: “What is it about my line of work that makes people think that they can do what I do?”… Continue

Introducing... the web walk on!
Okay so it's time for me to do a little self-promotion. I've just released the newest and greatest product in the 5SonStudios family of products.
Have you ever wished that it was more immediately clear what you do when your customers visit your website? Have you ever felt the need to point to a specific aspect of your website or welcome someone in a more "lively" fashion that can be done images and photography alone?

Build It and They Will Come
They only way you will have buyers beating a path to your door by "Simply Building It" is to have them come to your door first.
When delivering a product or service to the person making the purchasing decision you must make sure the the product actually meets NEEDs, address Wants and adequately controls their expectations.
This is accomplished by taking time to listen to them before you take the time and effort to "Build it".
