Once Upon a time… by admin http://blogorcamarketing.info/2009/03/06/the-power-of-storytelling-once-upon-a-time/#comment-9 admin Mon, 06 Apr 2009 01:20:58 +0000 http://blogorcamarketing.info/2009/03/06/the-power-of-storytelling-once-upon-a-time/#comment-9 Alexandra, I really enjoyed your discussion on story telling. As an interior designer I enjoy telling the story of how as a girl I would start to play Barbies and set up the entire Barbie home with furnishings, homemade bedding, tableware (upside down toothpaste caps made great glasses!) and then when the home was fully furnished I would consider my job done. Forget the clothes, shoes, cars, Ken and all the rest!! Carol Vandervelden, CID Owner, Vandervelden Design Alexandra,

My husband and I own a Winery and Wine Tasting Room in historic Old Town, San Diego. People have told us that they love to come in our place because it is comfortable...and the stories that we tell...about our wines...our horses...about favorite customers...and tales about San Diego history. We create a connection with our customers, and they come back for more. Any shop can serve good wine...but it's the comraderie and story telling that brings our customers back again!

As an example, for some weeks I was sitting on a task where I could not come to a decision about how to approach a social media marketing opportunity; I wasn't sure what content and "language" to use and what direction to go with it overall. This post has just cleared my thoughts and my hesitation away in less than a minute and now I'm ready to move ahead with the writing. You may never know where that helpful kick comes from. THANKS!

]]> Comment on Starbucks’ Instant Coffee !?! by Gabriella Hajdu http://blogorcamarketing.info/2009/03/04/starbucks-instant-coffee/#comment-5 Gabriella Hajdu Fri, 20 Mar 2009 04:47:38 +0000 http://blogorcamarketing.info/2009/03/04/starbucks-instant-coffee/#comment-5 well, Starbuck's instant coffee should have high-end or very natural look and feel packaging. Their brand still has a good market share over others - like Peets, etc, - however the coffee they serve is low quality. When they come out with the instant version, if it's not positioned well, and is low quality, they may loose their fans to the better quality already established instant brands. Although I love my espresso and pretty picky about coffee in general, Nescafe's instant is one of the best in the category. well, Starbuck’s instant coffee should have high-end or very natural look and feel packaging.
