Knowing Your Core Clients
Hey, marketers…talk about knowing your target audience!
I stopped into this Potbelly Sandwich Works restaurant in Chicago on what happened to be the first day of school for Chicago Public Schools students.

“What's popular?” is the wrong question
“I need to buy some branded merch, what’s the latest and greatest?” This is probably the most common inquiry I get via email, phone, Zoom or even via text from my clients.
Sometimes when there's a popular trend or two, the answer is easy to spit out.
But the “latest and greatest” question is really the wrong question.
“What is the best product to market MY product or service to MY target audience?” is the question you should be asking when you make a branded merch purchase.
A Night of Culture and Entertainment
A few weeks ago I went to see a string quartet (2 violins, viola and cello) play the music of Taylor Swift.
Boomerang Effect!
I’ve never actually thrown a boomerang before and managed to bring it back!
Regardless, a boomerang is a good metaphor for employees coming back to your organization after they have left to “explore other options”.
