Success only runs one direction....
Here we go…The 3/50 Project Great Lakes Tour! If you’re a merchant near any of these seven events, find a way to attend. There’s a lot of content offered in these sessions beyond what’s on our website or the Facebook page…including promotional ideas to help bring consumers back through the door—something we all agree is critical with fourth quarter looming on the horizon.

As you recall from my earlier rant about the ease with which Verizon kicked me to the curb caused me to reevaluate our relationship a few weeks ago, I’d decided it was time to break up. Or, more aptly put, had come to recognize that I loved Verizon a whole lot more than Verizon loved me.
Broken hearted, but firm in my resolve, I was packing by bags and leaving, headed toward a shiny new iPhone and ATT…just as soon as my New Every Two contract would release me sans penalty.
Fast forward to last Wednesday. [click here to continue…]

Selling tickets to an event hosted by a Chamber of Commerce, it’s a pretty straight forward concept. Contact the Chamber office, then purchase.
Jacque Pregont (President, Atchison Area Chamber of Commerce in Atchison, Kansas) decided that wasn’t good enough. If the whole idea behind The 3/50 Project Great Plains Tour was to inspire consumers to reconnect with local, independent brick and mortars, well then…why wait? [click here to continue…]

Billboards have been a real “thing” with me lately. Good, bad, and you’ve-got-to-be-joking, each one a direct reflection of the organization or business who paid for it.
So…how many parents in South Bend, Indiana realize their children are attending “pubic” schools?
Proofread, people. Seriously.

(P.S. to residents of South Bend: Sorry for the back-to-back posts about things happening in your community, but you’re been giving me a lot to work with lately.)

Real life occasionally provides unexpected “teaching moments.” A doozie came to my attention over the weekend, thanks to a restaurant owner in South Bend, Indiana and her terribly misguided idea about how to capture customer loyalty. [click here to continue…]

This, folks, is what reality look like when we get blow-your-mind good news. In real life. When there aren’t cameras running.
Which is exactly why it works so well when a camera is in the room.
Kudos to First American Funds and their brilliant Senior Managing Director of Communications, Kimberly Kaul, who not only thought “out of the box,” but convinced upper management they needed to do the same when the boutique brand made Barron’s Best list.
(FYI: The guy dancing on the board room conference table is the CEO…seriously.)

This has been a different 9/11 for me than in years past. Until a few weeks ago, like most people, it had a dark cloud hanging in the proverbial sky, given the horrors we witnessed nine years ago. During a recent trip to New York, though, one of the meetings I attended was in a building near Ground Zero. Afterward, a fellow attendee and I visited an office on the side that overlooked the construction site…and my entire perspective shifted. [click here to continue…]

It’s not enough to say “shop local;” a community needs to jump into the local scene with both feet. Thanks to The 3/50 Project message, cities and towns from coast to coast are embracing the small businesses the line their Main Streets, building stronger economies and tighter bonds.
Moberly, Missouri is taking this idea to heart. Join us for a little “small business goodness” as I share the Project at the annual Chamber of Commerce Banquet.
