Repetition and consistency are often the hardest and most boring things. But it's probably also the most effective. Agree?👍

Here’s a fun one - modern #advertising strategies Amazon Prime is on our TV. I think we are subscribed to the membership for tv, fast gadget delivery, and if Bezos shows up in I have to mouth kiss him for eight minutes with full eye contact. Not for nothing but that clause is in the new terms and conditions. Its part of everyone’s contract on that platform. Or maybe just mine. This isn’t about digital signatures and what they are worth. It’s the damn ads. Why did I just watch six ads before a movie while reading ‘watch adfree after these previews’ and see a button that said ‘watch without ads’???? What is happening over there? First off, you want to run ads, just do it. Nike baby. It’s your platform, people are already subscribed, subject them to your advertising… within reason. Get too unreasonable and you lose subscribers. But trying to monetize ads for how annoying it is for your customers to have to sit through them, promoting spending more to forego the nuisance, is dehumanizing. I love ads because I used to make them, But these days have very little access to them because I don’t pay for cable television.. .. like a muppet… but tactic is more than just a vulturous way to engage your consumers. It was a dumb one. This feels like end of days Blockbuster to me. Technology is changing and evolving and the people running the show on how businesses run along side that evolution should have some vision of where the tech is going, or at least a connection to how the consumer interacts with the overall #experience. This reeks of accountants making #marketing desicions. This is one of the more used streaming platforms, and while they are already blindly giving viewers reasons to avoid the platform, this one tops the cake. I’m turned off the tv, wrote this, and am going to restart the movie again. I’m putting ten bucks on having to watch the ads again after restarting…

Promoting Your Whatnot Auctions on Instagram Instagram is a powerful tool for promoting your Whatnot auctions, allowing you to connect with potential buyers through engaging visuals and interactive features. To maximize your reach, start by creating eye-catching posts that showcase the items you'll be auctioning. High-quality images or videos of the products, paired with concise descriptions, can spark interest and encourage followers to join your auction. Use Instagram Stories to build excitement leading up to the auction. Countdown stickers, polls, and Q&A sessions can increase engagement while reminding your audience about the auction date. Additionally, Instagram Reels can be an effective way to give a sneak peek into your inventory, showing off unique items in an entertaining, fast-paced format. Incorporate relevant hashtags like #WhatnotAuction, #LiveAuction, and product-specific tags to help your posts reach a wider audience. Collaborating with influencers or Whatnot sellers with similar audiences can also help increase visibility. Finally, make sure to include a link to your Whatnot auction in your Instagram bio and use “swipe up” links in Stories if you have the feature enabled. Consistent promotion and audience interaction will help you build a dedicated community of buyers and boost your auction’s success. #wholesalebusiness #wholesaleprice #wholesaledistribution #wholesaledistributor #liquidation #liquidations #wholesale #wholesaler #retailbusiness #retailer #retail #resale #resellers #resellercommunity #reseller #reselling #productsourcing #closeout #overstock https://lnkd.in/etuqM5-8

If you’re spending extra time drying clothes completely due to a clogged dryer vent, you can bet you’re also spending extra on utilities. Extended or extra drying cycles also mean your clothes will be subjected to more wear and weathering. By hiring a Dryer Vent Wizard and shortening your drying time, you’ll use less power and save your clothing from excessive damage.

Can I share something with you? The image in this post represents the thirteen-year trend for my book/booklet sales. Almost all of my book/booklet sales are via print ... so one could clearly argue that as print dies as a medium, I should see the relationship in the attached image. It's been a slow death, with the positive moments being less positive and the negative moments being more negative. The trend is unavoidable. The answer isn't "do print better". Historically, I generate about 70% of my projects via my blog, which is free. About 30% of my projects come in via books/booklets. This has historically been my "paywall", if you will. As print (books/booklets) dies, that source of income also goes away. Now, I believe I already know the answer, but I'd like to hear from those of you who are print-centric professionals. How would you respond if the print-centric part of your business is dying, as it clearly is in my case?

If your character has to restart every time they lose in a video game, you’ll know how it is to build a product for small businesses. If the product misses, the business loses money. If it hits, you earn some of that value. You don’t need a ton of money to win, just grit. Here’s the journey your character can take: ONE: Find a small business problem you care deeply about—preferably one you already have. TWO: Make sure everyone else is solving it badly. (If not, back to step one.) THREE: Build a prototype, then share it with small businesses. (If they aren’t amazed, back to step one.) FOUR: Take their feedback, improve the prototype, and show it again. (If they don’t ask when you’re launching, back to step one.) FIVE: Find a couple of rabid believers to launch with. (If they’re not there, back to step one.) SIX: Take pre-orders. (If they refuse to pay, back to step one.) SEVEN: Build the product that does one thing exceptionally well. (If it flops, return the money and back to step one.) EIGHT: Turn your first customers into promoters. (If they are unwilling to promote, back to step one.) NINE: Reach out to new customers. (If no one else bites, back to step one.) TEN: Ask your customers for a referral. If they’re hesitant, that’s your growth ceiling right there. If you hit a wall, don’t go back to step one. Just backtrack a few steps and refine what you’ve got. I have been kicked back to step one many times. You will need a good group of advisors and co-founders willing to stick it out. Thx David S., Stephen S. Edelson, @Sanjay Garje, Don Weil. #Entrepreneurship #SaaS #SmallBusiness #Startuplife #ProductDevelopment
