The Science of Event Staffing
Everything is in place. Permits. Vendors. Location. Spectacular pre-buzz canvassing. The branded vehicle is anchored in a high visibility area, turning more heads than a Brangelina sighting. At this moment, anyone within a mile radius wants to engage with your client's brand. That feeling of hard fought accomplishment falls over your agency. Then it happens.
Science of Staffing: 3 Common Staffing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
A true solution will usually only present itself after all miscalculations, misinterpretations and misjudgments of the mistake have been properly identified and (GULP!) accounted for. Knowing the most common mistakes on a promotional event is important, but it’s only half the battle for an event marketing agency. Learning from it is the other. Lucky for you, some other poor schlub has already muddled his way onto this list (shut it)- so you can jump straight to the solution instead of going through the grief and embarrassment of losing the respect of your favorite client. That said, please allow me to digress to a few common delusions...
Monumental Secrets of Guerrilla Marketing – Tactics
I had the pleasure to listen live and watch a webinar by Jay Conrad Levinson as part of Microsoft’s Small Business Summit. Jay is the father of Guerrilla Marketing with almost 50 years in the advertising and marketing industry.

Top 10 Guerrilla Marketing Myths
The path to entrepreneurial success is mined with booby traps disguised as words of wisdom. Guerrillas can distinguish the facts from the fables.

Guerrilla Marketing as Sex
The whole idea of guerrilla marketing is to transform cold prospects into consenting partners. As with superb sex, marketers shouldn't be in a hurry, shouldn't direct their energies to disinterested people and must realize that the consummation of a loving relationship won't take place without proper wooing, without knowing exactly what turns on the prospect.

The New Power Of Advertising
A website is an island. Advertising is a bridge to that island. Large and small businesses online are discovering that truth in a hurry – or else. Advertising is not what it used to be. The internet has changed its purpose and its strength. Rather than making advertising in the traditional media weaker, the net has made it stronger. That’s why all guerrillas must be aware of the new power of advertising.

Guerrilla Marketing Memes
The prehistoric man, Uba, spent all day in the rain trying to catch a fish because his family was very hungry and in dire need of food. But he was unable to grab a fish from the stream even though he occasionally got his hands on one. Frustrated and weak from hunger, he just couldn't grab any fish firmly enough because it would slither from his hands and return to the stream. Worse yet, the light rain turned to a heavy rain and Uba was forced to seek shelter in a nearby cave.

360 Degree Marketing
Here's the problem: Your prospects and customers have short attention spans and millions of businesses attempting to attract their attention.

The Designated Guerrilla
Reality in running a small business means knowing exactly what you've got to do but not having enough time to do it. If you understand how guerrilla marketing can propel you into hyperprofitability but can't take the steps to activate and maintain the process, your understanding is wasted.

Integrated Marketing
Whatever does guerrilla marketing have in common with a boomerang? If you throw a stick, it flies about 30 feet. Frank Donnellan once threw a boomerang 377 feet, longer than football field. A boomerang uses gravity and air resistance to aid its flight. Guerrilla marketing uses other weapons to aid its flight. Single-weapon marketing has nothing to aid its flight.

The Magic and Tragic Words of Marketing
Magic words propel great ideas towards profitability. Tragic words doom great ideas to failure. Guerrillas know the difference.

The New Secrets of Guerrilla Marketing
The most important things you need to know about marketing are in this column. In the few minutes it takes you to read this, you'll learn more basic truths about marketing than you'd pick up with a score of MBA degrees under one arm and all the marketing books ever written, including mine, under the other.

What Is Guerrilla Marketing?
The first Guerrilla Marketing book was published by Houghton Mifflin in l984. Today there are 35 volumes in 41 languages, and more than 14 million copies have been sold worldwide. The book is required reading in many MBA programs throughout the world. The author taught the topic at the University of California, Berkeley Extension Division. He lectures on it worldwide.

Fusion Marketing
The key to successful guerrilla marketing is in embracing not the concept of competition, but the beauty and advantage of cooperation. Fuse for fun & profit.
Guerrilla Learning
Let's start with the bad news. Much that you have learned in the past, although God's own truth at the time, has changed, leaving you misinformed or uninformed, so that a lot of what you know is wrong. In social situations, your lack of information is inconvenient, but in business, it's suicidal.

Guerrilla Marketing Yourself
Once you understand that people judge you from the first moment you meet them, and realize that there is a range of tools available to help support your positioning, you can be more successful in every encounter.
Guerrilla Marketing With Technology
Up until a few years ago, technology was not something associated with small business marketing. Perhaps it was connected with databases or inventory control, possibly with electronic spreadsheets and word proccessing. Anyhow, it was complicated and expensive -- and its affect on small business didn't stretch into the arena of marketing.

Guerrilla Marketing Online
The truth about marketing online is that it doesn't do a thing for you unless you understand marketing. The key to success online is to know marketing.

Memorize These 12 Words Then Live By Them
I'm giving you a memory crutch so that you'll never forget these words. All 12 words end in the letters "ENT." Run your business by the guerrilla concepts they represent and you'll be in marketing heaven.

Wonderful and Horrible Advertising
Because more marketing funds are invested in advertising than in any other weapon of guerrilla marketing, and because an embarrassingly huge amount of that investment is just plain wasted, marketing guerrillas know home truths about copy, graphics, what makes commercials good or bad, and why so much advertising fails.

What is Marketing in the First Place?
Marketing is absolutely every bit of contact any part of your business has with any segment of the public. Guerrillas view marketing as a circle that begins with your ideas for generating revenue and continues on with the goal of amassing a large number of repeat and referral customers. The three keys words in that paragraph are EVERY, REPEAT, and REFERRAL. If your marketing is not a circle, it's a straight line that leads directly into Chapters 7, 11, or 13 in the bankruptcy courts.

GUERRILLA SOFT STEPS
It's a hard step for a prospect to decide to buy from you. Guerrillas make that hard step a whole lot easier by offering prospects several soft steps.
Advertising No Longer Has to Make the Sale
Not very long ago, advertising's main goal was to make the sale, though there are many other goals. But that has changed dramatically with the growth of dotcom companies all over the internet. Today, the goal of much advertising is not to make the sale but to direct people to websites.
Guerrilla Marketing Intelligence Tip
Marketing is the art of getting people to change their minds - or maintain their mindset if they're inclined to do business with you already.

Guerrilla marketing erects monuments to follow-up, honors it, and practices it.
But effective follow-up is a rarity among small businesses. It pains me to know that over 60% of leads--leads that took a lot of time, energy, imagination and information to generate--will slip through the cracks. What's even more tragic is that a stunning 68 percent of the leads that convert into customers will be ultimately lost after the sale due to poor follow-up.
Marketing is every bit of contact your company has with anyone in the outside world.
Marketing is every bit of contact your company has with anyone in the outside world. Every bit of contact. That means a lot of marketing opportunities. It does not mean investing a lot of money.

Looking to 2010: Marketing Advice for Small Business Guerrillas
OK, so 2008 and 2009 were not good years for small businesses. Demand was soft, those customers, who could pay, did so slowly, banks and other sources were very stingy with credit. If you made it this far, what should Marketing Guerrillas be doing looking at twentyten? Here are five specific recommendations based on the book, MORE Guerrilla Marketing Research. The key idea in the book is that when Guerrillas have a marketing problem, they should ask their customers and prospects for advice. Doing this will produce a better decision than going it alone--every time.

Make Your Marketing Personal
It used to be that only big companies could afford to create a marketing message that was highly visible: newspaper ads, direct mail, television, radio, skywriting, sponsorships, etc. But modern technology allows people to create one-offs inexpensively: email blasts, your own ink-jet printer, local digital printing, or even personal 3D fabricators.

The Guerrilla Entrepreneur

He also realizes that he is in control of his enterprise, not the other way around, and that if he is dissatisfied with his journey, he is missing the point of the journey itself.
