March 14, 2011 By Kathryn Aragon

One of the greatest challenges with content marketing is coming up with enough ideas to provide a steady stream of useful, relevant content. The problem isn’t one of idea generation, though. It’s in not understanding how to approach content marketing. In reality, content marketing is publishing. To make it work, you must think like a […]

What’s Your Story? Build Business Success on a Foundation of Values

March 11, 2011 By Kathryn Aragon

We live in an age of skepticism. You might say people don’t take candy from strangers any more. They don’t take advice from people with an agenda. They skip commercials and throw away junk mail.

March 9, 2011 By Kathryn Aragon

More than three-fourths of your message’s success depends on one thing: the headline. And it has no more than three seconds to do the job.

Customer Service in a Recession: More Important, Not Less

February 25, 2011 By Kathryn Aragon

I get it. In an economic slump, costs must be cut. But honestly, how do you expect to survive if you slash customer service? I was at an electronics store last night making a return. Keep in mind, this is no fly-by-night store. It’s located in nine states across the nation. They’ve branded themselves as […]

This Retailer Gets a Hand-slap by Google for Black-Hat SEO

February 15, 2011 By Kathryn Aragon
