Business Cards

[image] I received this email today from the Business Card Genius offering me tips on designing my business card.  As I read over these Tips I actually started to chuckle!  How in the world is one suppose to get so much information on a business card that is only 2 x 3 …
[image] If you're anything like me, then you find working up a business card logo, general design, and message to be a royal pain in my seat meat.  I'm a pretty creative guy, but I need guidance!  Luckily, by way of Greg Swann's Bloodhound Blog post, I found wisdom - and some …

Cool Head - 12/08/2008 11:27 AM
[image] Cool Head, Easily Said
When I first explored the public relations field, an early mentor told me that the foundation of the practice was really common sense and, primarily, always encouraging clients to keep a cool head, no matter.  Some may say, easily said, but hard in practice, considering that all …

Newsletters

[image] It's not like I have been on vacation... 
On the contrary.  I have had several buyer appointments, a listing appointment (which I did get), and two closings in the last two weeks.  
Oddly busy, especially for late December.
All that activity is only a byproduct of what I really do for a living...
…
[image] Do I intentionally choose the cold days to deliver my newsletters?
The thermometer never peeked above 16 degrees this week as I was making my deliveries.
And it wasn't the cold, but the ice that presented a hazard.

Client Gifts

[image] So I'm sitting at work, watching the snow fall from the sky, imagining the long ride homeon the unplowed highways...
When what to my surprise, a package did arrive!  For me, no it couldn't be, but from who?  Who would send me such a lovely Harry & David gift?

[image] This continues my report of how Michelle and I are doing generating leads in our local Genuardi's grocery store in front of my long-time bank Wilmington Savings Fund Society (WSFS).
