So you crawled out of the turkey coma, sent the in-laws back where they belong, and hauled yourself back into work this week. How was it? Ours was great thank you for asking. We laughed, we cried, we read these great articles. Read on gang.
Event Marketing Secret Weapon: VIDEO via Endless Entertainment
Dr. James McQuivey of Forrester Research did some digging and found out just how much of an impact video can have on its audience. For instance, 80% of your online visitors will watch a video while only 20% will read text content in its entirety. Why is it then that businesses, especially those that are event driven, are not using this incredibly powerful marketing tool in every way possible?

Productivity. It is a measure of your efficiency and capability to create income. It is a defining factor in all of our lives and entire nations compete with each other based on their per capita productivity. It is a term that all founders strive to be better at.

There’s so much to get done and sometimes you feel like you’re checking a bunch of things off the to do list but still feel like you’ve barely made a dent. That’s where productivity comes in and we could probably all use a little refresher on how to achieve it.

Why we clipped: Frankly, we’d never really given bullet points much thought. Turns out there’s quite an argument to be made. This was a totally random article but totally useful.
