Marketing Inspiration - Make Your Mess Your Message
February 5th, 2010

Make Your MESS Your MESSage
Mess #1: I was hard at work, when all of sudden I got the blue screen of death on my laptop. I quickly started researching and troubleshooting for answers or instructions to get rid of the blue screen of death. I was on my way to fixing my laptop with the shiny instructions that I had found all by myself (I was so proud at the time) and then… (See mess #2)
Apple iBook blue screen of death
Mess #2: Like I said above, I was on my way to fixing my laptop but first I needed my laptop power adapter. As I grabbed it, I noticed that the cord was split and black. One hour later and a couple phone calls from “the friend” that used it last, I had come to found out that apparently “this friend” was using it the night before and the power cord caught on fire! How could this be? Now I was stuck with a dead laptop and a dead power cord.

Mess #3: To top it all off, the next day I dropped my iPhone face down. PERIOD.
Cracked iPhone screen
The Message: Yes, Mess #1, Mess #2, and Mess #3 were NOT fun, however, I did learn valuable lessons from this experience. Check out my tips below:
- Remember to breathe
- Remain calm - don’t freak out!
- Think Positively
- Most importantly, Focus on the Solution rather than problem
I do admit, that Mess #1, Mess #2, and Mess #3 happened a couple of months ago so it is a lot easier to share my experience with you now. AND I do have good news: the Apple store fixed my laptop, replaced my power adapter and I eventually replaced my iPhone. It took a couple of tantrums and I lost a good amount of hair BUT I did learn my lesson and now I can make my MESS, my MESSage.

by Lorrie Thomas
A friend sent this great Starbucks video that compiled singers from 156 countries singing the Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love” song.
The video is the perfect pick me up (I have played it on my computer several times after watching it since the voices are so lovely) and it is a brilliant example of web …
What Do You Stand For? Does Your Marketing Reflect This?
February 2nd, 2010
by Lorrie Thomas
“Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.”
– Alexander Hamilton
When I am wearing my Marketing Therapist “™” hat, I find I have to re-train professional brains who have fallen too hard for slimy sales pitches or “get rich quick” plans. When professionals know who they are and what they stand for (and standing for something …

by Pamela Sherman
Okay, it’s officially mid-winter! Just as the groundhog has to come out of his hole to see how long the winter will be (based on it’s shadow or not), so do we! The folklore and tradition of Groundhog Day was created in large part to fill our need for some kind of weather prediction, to …

Lorrie, Kelly, Amber and the rest of the ‘Wild Web Women’ guided me through starting my personal blog, managing my new web tools and brainstorming creative ideas for future website development. Since the initial launch of the revamped CharlieKimball.com, I have seen a significant increase in web traffic. Being able to confidently blog and tweet from the road and all the race tracks I visit throughout the year makes me feel much more in touch with my fan base. It also provides an easy way to keep my family and friends updated. Lorrie Thomas’ introduction and enthusiasm about Twitter has also given me a new avenue to explore with my sponsors.

I am extremely impressed by Web Marketing Therapy (WMT). Their approach to marketing is refreshing – it’s not just about talk, it’s about getting things done. I am asked repeatedly by friends and clients to recommend marketing companies. When I do, I am putting my own reputation on the line. That said, I would recommend WMT without hesitation. Their integrity, creativity, and results make me look good every time. Thank you WMT for excelling at what you do!
