Yesterday, Shelby Sapusek weighed in on this topic which is another in our "she said, he said" series of posts where we weigh in on social media related topics. Today I get the last word.

Forget the link bait, what's your QR Code scan bait?
By QR Code bait, I'm referring to the text (or tag line) that accompanies the code and encourages the viewer to scan the code. Scanning the code, after all, is a conversion.

I realize this post won't be for everyone. This is not a story about working 35-40 hours a week, going home and plopping down on the couch to watch TV. When I wrote "The Personal/Professional Blur" I explained that I don't have work from which I come home. I understand that some folks like fixing … [Read more...]
How to maximize the value of your event
It's been about a week since we completed a successful event for ColorMetrix. The thing is we are not done creating and deriving value from the event yet; not by a long shot.
