Talking tech with Kentucky teachers who know way more than me about connecting with students
July 17, 2012
Here’s what I enjoy about spending the day in Louisville at the annual conference of the Kentucky Association of Career Technology Education. These teachers pick a grand location downtown, right on the Ohio River, and they pack a summer break’s worth of learning into barely two and a half days.
Among the session topics this year: “Beyond Social Networking: Key Tools to Establish Your Expertise with Parents, Students and Stakeholders”. That’s a mouthful and I did share and show the teachers ways that their peers use Twitter, Facebook, blogs, video and bookmarking to connect with students, moms and dads and other teachers.

Businesses will shift more marketing to video in 2012, because that’s what customers watch online
April 22, 2012The typical Internet user in the United States spends seven hours a month watching videos on YouTube. Any wonder then that business leaders plan to shift a significant amount of their marketing budgets to web videos that showcase products and services, demonstrate how to use these products and services, offer how-to ideas and testimonials from satisfied customers.
In 2012, businesses have new opportunities to tell their stories to customers and potential new customers, who are online looking for information.
Many businesses already are creating and sharing videos. What have you seen that works well to show off a business’s products and services? Who shares videos that help customers learn how to use the business’s products and services?
What is it about a video that makes you want to contact the business directly?

April 13, 2012
This doesn’t happen every day. And, it takes a lot to get a mention in DogWalkBlog.
In fact, since Blogger in Chief Rufus Doggeti usually is talking truth and smack about people and issues on his mind, many of the dog’s subjects would rather not be subjected to what DogWalkBlog has to say. Read the rest of this entry »

Thanks for the business blog love
March 31, 2012Sometimes, there’s no need to say a thing. Like this week, when Peter DeMott mentioned Celek Media Consulting in his blog, Grow Your Business in Dayton.

Video for Your Business 3: In New Year, Think Video, Tell Your Story Online
December 31, 2011Here’s 12 tips for 2012, and they begin and end with video for your business:
1. To connect with more customers, think video. Show them what you do. Show them how you do it. Show them work you’ve completed. Show them — and let them hear from — your customers who are thrilled with your products and services.
2. Introduce yourself, and your employees. There’s no substitute for meeting in person, shaking hands and talking to get to know the person you’re considering doing business with but remember that customers want to check you out online before they decide to talk directly with you. Increase your opportunities to be found online and get that in-person meeting by using video online so that customers can see and hear you. Read the rest of this entry »
