    Advertising on Pandora and the ROI for car dealers

    We love, love, LOVE Pandora. In fact, we've cut back almost all radio except for Pandora because of their un-skippable ads. We get a lot of feedback on it, and for me personally, I regularly have people at the gym tell me they're listening to my spot right then and there. Our rep, Tim Daher...

    Who's Going to DSES? Speak up!!

    Join me on Tuesday at 10:30 AM for a detailed explanation of our "Shame on Subaru of Wichita" ordeal in my presentation called "Subaru of Wichita Goes Viral." As you might have heard (if you haven't, a bit of Googling will get you up to speed), we made international news with a few banners...

    Your "Digital Marketing Expert's" Last Job Was at McDonalds

    Great subject line--I absolutely agree. I love it when these "experts" tell me what does or doesn't work when I know the real story based on first hand observation. Thankfully, I think most dealerships have wised up to this game and are much more skeptical now than they were even a year ago, as...

    Free Blog Content in Exchange for Links: The New Black Hat?

    Interesting. I'm very familiar with guest blogging, but I always thought of it in terms of doing it for organizations you have more of a relationship with. Thanks for the input!

    Free Blog Content in Exchange for Links: The New Black Hat?

    Refreshers: I received an interesting spam email the other day that got me thinking about the value of links from external sites. From what I could understand, the person/entity was offering blog content at no charge, provided she could link back to one of the organizations she represented. I...

    Is social played-out yet?

    Is social played out yet? Absolutely not. The general public is getting wiser to the game, however. With my personal use, I've gotten WAY more selective with who I follow on social media--if I'm not seeing a direct link between their sharing and my quality of life, I'll avoid them. It only...

    QR Codes - In or Out?

    This guy was with Ciao Italian Kitchen, who donated lunch to the Tornado Relief Drive we helped out with. After asking him to stand still, I scanned the QR code, which took me to their mobile site where you could make a reservation, get directions, place a to go order, look at the menu, or...

    Oklahoma tornado tragedy

    Moore is about 150 miles from Wichita, and I've been amazed at how many initiatives have sprung up to collect and send goods and volunteers down there. Times like this renew my belief in human solidarity.

    "Local photos" Google+ Page Has Our Pictures

    Ha! Actually, during this big transition, Google has pleasantly surprised me more than once. I'm saving those findings for my next article, however. ;)

    "Local photos" Google+ Page Has Our Pictures

    During our transition from Suzuki to Subaru of Wichita, I've discovered an oddity I wanted to share with the community. It's a Google+ page called "Local photos" and bears the Google Local icon, but it doesn't seem legit. Check it out here. Among the literally THOUSANDS of picture albums filled...

    QR Codes - In or Out?

    Interesting update. I'm curious about how Google Glass will augment/modify/replace QR codes with its promised recognition capabilities (faces will be just the beginning). Perhaps people will be able to pay Google to suggest something to Glass wearers when they and the device see something in...
