New ideas in marketing?

Hi everyone!

My name is Shannon Smith, and I will be your guide to new ways of thinking about your marketing.  You probably are asking yourself  “Who is this guy, and what does he mean with that title?”.  I’m sure you are doing just that, right now. … Or your not, and I am just typing to see the pretty words appear on the screen.  Either way I will be adding to the site on a regular basis.  I enjoy educating people about new ways to look at their advertising and their company’s image.

“Why should I listen to you?”

Why not?  I mean, every bit of information you place in your head helps you make informed decisions on everything in life.  Everything from how to cook breakfast, to how to fix your car.  If you don’t know how to do something you have to do 1 of 3 things:

• Learn to do it yourself. (time and energy to be lost here.)
• Learn who can do it for you. (then you have to learn how to tell if that someone is really good at it, or just a good salesman, but that is another lesson. )
• forget all about it and go on with life. ( I have gone this route when I couldn’t figure out how to program my VCR clock.)

The trick, I think, is to understand who you are.

1. What are your weaknesses and your strengths?
2. Do you learn quickly and enjoy the process?
3. Do you like to apply what you have learned?
4. Do you understand that you don’t know enough and HAVE to know more in order to help your business succeed?

These are the reasons Hippocampus Marketing is here.  I will be teaching you new ( and fun I hope) ways to market your companies and yourselves.  Each blog post will have a corresponding forum topic as well as your typical comment posts.  I would love to hear your views on what I have to say, as well as feed back on the seminars I am conducting.

So drop me a line, post a comment, or come see my seminars.
