FACE-TO-FACE

Submitted by Lucie M.H. Fournier on

 

Corporate Leaders, you have the POWER to re-implement a good old fashion approach to communicating with your employees - a face-to-face conversation.

There is no question today that people are hungry for human connection - any kind will do. I viewed a video that gave astounding statistics on how many people are connected to Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter etc. We need to keep in touch, follow-up, like or tweet our friends, family, co-workers - it seems this is the life for many.

This is true of many things in our world, not the least of which is the landscape of the Internet (and digital marketing’s place within the online realm). But there’s no need to get dramatic; whether or not you realize, the times are always a-changin’ when it comes to digital marketing.

Tis the Season for Setting New Business Goals

Submitted by Lucie M.H. Fournier on

Although I find the end of the summer the best time of the year for making new business goals, most entrepreneurs take advantage of the New Year to write down some new goals for their business. I believe as many do, if you don't take the time to decide where you are headed in your business, you stay exactly where you are.  The whole purpose of owning a business is to ensure you are progressing in the growth and services you offer your customers. We aren't meant to uphold the status quo - if we did, we could almost guarantee business failure.

Submitted by Lucie M.H. Fournier on

When my children were young, like most kids, they wanted to know what you were doing and they wanted to help - all the time.  So I hired them, on contract of course, you know, just in case they didn't meet up to my expectations.

Small business in a global market

Submitted by Steve Nicholson on

Manufacturing as we once knew it in our region has almost disappeared as companies go global to source factories in developing countries to work with or purchase in an attempt to lower manufacturing costs. Larger manufacturers have survived because they went overseas and either purchased companies or worked out deals. This is easy to do being a large manufacturer with the cash flow available to go and do their due diligence.
