Thank you so much Jamie for this post! I had been posting haphazardly and really wanted to hunker down and put together an editorial calendar. Your post and examples have made it so much less intimidating! I think this will help me tremendously with productivity and ensuring that content is consistent from week to week. Thanks again!

Savvy Speaks: Don't Try These Marketing Tactics! - Cathy Bishop

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:22:17 -0600

Thanks Savvy Sisters, thanks for the warning about marketing tricks not to try. Sometimes, you have to be careful regarding too much "innovation" or out-of-the-box ideas which has never been done before since there's a danger that it may not work out--or may lead to ruin; as like your first example. Or perhaps these so-called "ambitious 20-something social media gurus" he hired, were indifferent to his campaign or perhaps they didn't see eye to eye.

Savvy Toolkit - Marketing Wisdom for 2012 - Jay Snow

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:00:47 -0600

Thanks for the marketing wisdom. I follow your blogs and find them very interesting. We are in manufacturing and I find this industry to be a bit behind the times when it comes to marketing. Those in the fore front, who are applying just some of the new marketing techniques are benefiting greatly.

Savvy Speaks: Tips for Engaging in LinkedIn - Richard Bellikoff

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:45:35 -0600

I'm on LinkedIn, but my skills and results are a lot closer to Jamie's than Kate's. I belong to several groups and take part in discussions, but all that ever produces are invitations to link up with other people and join more groups. I'll have to re-read LinkedIn for Dummies, which is appropriately titled in my case.

I'm thinking of trying Google+ for Business. I have no plans to be on Facebook or Twitter. If you're a sole proprietorship and aren't careful, social media can engulf and devour your whole life, like The Blob.

Savvy Speaks: Best Holiday Gifts - Richard Bellikoff

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 14:41:00 -0600

I like Jamie's idea about inscribing gift books. The only drawback is, if you've bought the book on-line, as most of us do these days with the decline of the indie bookstore, you'll have to pay twice for shipping, once for the order and then again to send it to your client. And if you haven't checked lately, first class US postal rates for a hardcover book have gone through the roof. Amazon's are much better, usually $3.99 no matter what the size of the book. Double-shipping can cost you more than the book itself. But then, if it's a good client, money is no object.

Savvy Toolkit - B2B Content Marketing: 2012 Benchmarks, Budgets and Trends - Lucinda Brook

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 07:21:10 -0600

I think one of the most encouraging figures is with regard to video - seems to be increasing across the board. Nice to see some movement away from just the written word - as lovely as that may be. The figure that bothers me is that 90% of B2B marketers are active content marketers. Surely (with all due respect) there must be some self-delusion going on here as there's an awful lot of sales material re-badged as 'content' and therefore 'content marketing' - still an education gap I fear. It'd be interesting to see the survey go into more depth about exactly what they take #content marketing to be. For example - how open they are, at what stage they gate content etc etc. Some thoughts here: http://bit.ly/uMlMqO

Great points; I think to effectively gauge a response; there needs to be a relationship built between the active parties.
