Is The 3/50 Project having a positive influence on your business? On a group of businesses you’re part of?
And would you be willing to talk to the media about it?
We have a major media opportunity that needs local color. If you have a story to share (beyond customers telling you they like the concept), please comment below with an explanation of what you’ve experienced and what the impact has been on your business. We’re looking for outcome…not what you’re doing to promote the cause.
Gotta be quick, folks. This one’s time sensitive…and worth it. Believe me.
A big thanks to the folks in eastern Texas who are helping to spread the word about The 3/50 Project. My favorite lines in the piece are easy to spot:
“What’s unique about this shop locally campaign is it does not place cities in competition with one another. Quite the contrary; it unites independent retailers across the region and the nation. Independent retailers must stick together to keep customers coming through the doors.”
No truer words have been uttered. Thanks, KTRE!

Hey all you Kansas City folks out there-—tune into KCUR-FM at 10:00 a.m. Monday morning for my stint on the Walt Bodine Show. From what my KC connections tell me, Walt’s program is “a very big thing,” garnering lots of respect from listeners far and wide.
Means a whole bunch of consumers are going to hear about The 3/50 Project, which is always a plus. Thanks for the opportunity, Walt!
Anyone have a contact in television for the KC market? Let’s get them on board next….
Dear fans of The 3/50 Project,
This past two months has been extraordinary. What began as a few folks saying “Hey, this is cool“ ballooned into more than 7,500 spreading the word from coast to coast (and beyond). I still wake up in the morning half worried I’ll find out the whole thing’s been a dream.
Then I race to the office and begin my new 14-hour work days. With a smile. Which either means I’m crazy, or I’m living my life’s passion. (Hint: The correct answer is option B.)
Beyond feeling like someone who’s riding a brain buzzing high, I am immensely proud of what you’ve accomplished. [click here to continue…]
Big thanks to Susan Shehata and Colleen Bukman from “Raising the Consciousness” on AM 950 for giving The 3/50 Project such terrific visibility over the weekend. You made the process of being on the air loads of fun.
To hear the interview, visit the show’s website, then scroll down to the link for the archived recording. The run time is one hour, but if you fast forward to the 30 minute point, you’ll find the start of the segment, just after the promo for Winter Moon, Summer Sun Adventure Retreat Lodge.
One of the upsides to a really successful viral campaign is that everyone wants to jump on board and share the love. That’s great, and is the very root of what makes The 3/50 Project tick.
The downside is that, sometimes, the enthusiasm outpaces the process. And believe me, with TM and copyright protected material, there’s process.
Vendors, please know how much I appreciate your desire to help spread the word by way of creative promotions. You have the ears of a lot of great business owners, and your support is welcome. That said, if you want to use The 3/50 Project name in the promotion, you need to get permission first, in writing, since that’s a licensing issue. [click here to continue…]
Toot on those trumpets, and bang on those drums, folks. It’s time for a little celebration-—on our two month anniversary, no less.
Late last week, supporter number 5,000 registered on The 3/50 Project website, meeting a goal I thought we’d be talking about six months from now. To make things even sweeter, our Facebook page logged fan number 7,000 just hours before I took the podium at the Waconia Chamber of Commerce luncheon right here in Minnesota on Thursday. (As of today, Facebook has topped 7,500.)
I feel like that mom with the “My child’s on the Honor Roll” bumper sticker (sans minivan, sans…well…child).
Congrats to all of you out there who jumped on board. This hub is very, very proud of you spokes. Big time.
