New Product Buzz and Marketing
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: August 29, 2007
I always love new stuff. (I can’t always afford to be buying new stuff, but that is beside the point.) And I can’t decide if it’s the discovery type kid in me or the marketer in me that goes “oooohhhh neat!” when I discover new cool stuff that I like. (and there is plenty that is [...]

The center for media research never dissapoints. They send over yummy morsels of data daily and the delectable tidbit yesterday was about back to college school shopping. Apparently “students and their parents will spend a combined average of $956.93 on back-to-college merchandise, up from last year’s $880.52, for a total of $47.3 billion gearing up [...]

SEO Blogging tips – Part 2
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: August 26, 2007
The blogging tips I was writing about from a Google talk have been really interesting. The second one I thought was a good thing was that he recommended using word press. I am glad I use them because they were smart building a lot of good usability and SEO features into the software. I also [...]
SEO Blogging tips
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: August 26, 2007
I recently read the transcript from a Google Guy’s talk about SEO for blogs and it proved that although I do marketing (advertising) for a living, I din’t necessarily know a lot about SEO. One of the best takeaways from the talk was the idea of do you want to be notced by Google’s search engine and [...]

This was odd in that it is pretty serious like a cooking show. Everyone likes his voice so much, maybe he should star in a cooking show. I bet people would tune in to watch.

Martha Macy’s Christmas Tree (Marshall Fields Walnut Room)
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: August 24, 2007
I was shopping the other day at the State Street Macy’s store (formerly Marshall Fields) and saw all the Martha Stewart products that they are carrying now. I wasn’t impressed with the quality of the materials and the designs were just ok, and not as fabulous as you would expect from Martha Stewart, but I [...]

I got a cat about a month ago and his favorite toy is these sparkle balls. They don’t have any catnip in them, but they are light weight and easy to carry in a cat’s fangy little teeth because they are plush. The problem has been that the ones you find at all the pet stores like [...]
What kind of shopping woman are you?
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: August 23, 2007
The center for media research had an interesting email with some data yesterday about how women spend their money on clothing and accessories and the 4 archetypes of women shoppers by demographics. I found this interesting both as a marketing tool and looking at myself. I would have thought I was in the most conservative [...]
