A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words. Video Is Worth So Much More

Posted on May 18, 2010 by

When marketing my company, Travertine Spa Collection, I use a variety of methods. Mostly easy, inexpensive and creative.

Last year I bought a flip video (I think I saw it on a Christmas Gift segment on TV). I learned how to use it and started making videos.

In the beginning I would tell people about the “celebrities” who used our products. I got no response. When they saw the photos on the website, I got calls and “how did you do that?” questions.

The visual makes a difference. Are you using visuals in your business?

I’m my case, images and video depict a day in the lifestyle of my business. High-end Luxury.

Start marketing your business with video. its cheap, fun and easy to disseminate. If it goes viral like Keyboard Cat you will be glad you did.

Juste Pour Rire: The Comedy of Dr. Ken Jeong

Posted on March 26, 2010 by

I watch the show Community where Ken Jeong plays a Spanish professor, Senor Chang.

Before becoming a comedian, he practiced medicine…he still does between comedy gigs.

“I am a fully licensed California boarded doctor. Not an acupuncturist bitch. Don’t hate alright, don’t hate. Keep it real.

I got a day job just like you guys alright. Same thing. Though I talk a little different at work. Hi I’m doctor Jeong, I’ll be your primary care provider, me love you long time.”

I Left Medicine And Started My Own Jewelry Line

Posted on March 10, 2010 by

Why change?

It’s a much more flexible lifestyle, I get to be creative in the designs, materials, promotional materials, the method of doing business. I get to create the whole thing just the way I want it. Not that it’s easy, but I feel very passionate about it and much more fulfilled in being able to be creative and open to many possibilities in my work. I also get to talk with lots of other very creative and inspired people in my day-to-day work, which I find motivating.
