Big one that I failed to do in 2020 - re-do my website, i.e. writing content. The hardest to do & easiest to push off. I've gotten my plan pulled together, now it's about slotting time each week to actually get my butt in gear to do it - again, not the easiest of tasks!
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) December 10, 2020
We review monthly & quarterly, if we aren't hitting goals we evaluate what is going wrong w/ accountability partners & adjust time commitments. Accountability in small biz is crucial - I depend on an outside person to tell me I'm screwing up and help w/ a plan to right the ship
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) December 10, 2020
We prioritize in the planning stage the categories that are most important, then break down those to attainable goals per day/week/month. i.e. Sales goals of prospecting - # of calls/day/week/month, Mktg - # of posts/week/mth

A3 We write out a sale plan, put up a whiteboard (sorry) & love to cross things out - it's very fulfilling!
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) December 10, 2020
We get down to chewable goals that are attainable - sales vol, order vol, client acquisition etc. Personal & family goals are broader in scope but still within reason all based upon growth of knowledge and understanding.
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) December 10, 2020
A1 We were very lucky this year as our main client base is in essential industries, so we were able to exceed our sales goal. But our client growth goals were chucked as we moved to relationship maintenance and outlook. Crazy year indeed.

Get your Holiday gear and send directly to your employee's and customer's home!
A2 Necessity has been the driving factor of today's trends - functional masks, PPE, etc. Promo mkt has become reactive.
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) September 17, 2020
A5: In this business, we are more problem solvers than creative at times. The spiral moves swiftly and those not engaged lose. Quick pivots & backup plans only come by being active in the business. Those hard calls are easier when you know what is going on with your business.
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) September 9, 2020
A1: I believe a leader listens first, asks questions, challenges norms, looks at options and then acts decisively.
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) September 9, 2020
A4) Do your homework man! Ask for logos, ask about our industries, ask us what projects are upcoming that we can prep for. The best part of any EME or Promo Marketing event is that one-on-one with a supplier who isn't just showing the "new" but providing solutions to us.
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) August 26, 2020
A3) The experiential component will always be missing in a virtual show, the "you get a car" spontaneous emotion is not there - it's kinda hard to get the feels when you send it to someone's house and Joey opens the box marked to Mom..
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) August 26, 2020
The ability to have buyers feel the products and get that instant feedback when a pre-proof or sample provides the Aha moment for the buyer. Sending custom care boxes that they can open helps but the medium is lacking that experiential component.
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) August 26, 2020
A1) I would have pushed the custom mask option initially to clients instead of paying the premium pricing that occurred in weeks 2-6+ of the 'Rona. I would have communicated to my client base about long-term solutions for virtual trade shows and kitting earlier.

Problem with Kamala is that she got torched by Tulsi Gabbard in a debate and that compounded with her Kavanaugh performance will sink that campaign as Trump will use both against her mercilessly. Plus EVERYBODY knows Joey is a placesetter and that will be explited as well.

A3) I see the industry going in to hyperdrive with purpose-driven programs that hit on a personal level vs. the whole give-n-pray notion. Hand sanitizers proved that notion. PPE is now a promo staple, weird as that may be. We will now focus on 1-1 engagements vs. trade shows

Many companies who utilize RFP’s for promo and print commoditize t-shirts & hats regardless of decoration. Creating cost+ scenarios w/ low margin caps. Especially when their spend is high and/or item volume is big. Crappy, yes indeed but true

You want your #brandextenders to be eco-friendly, but just because they say Green doesn't necessarily mean so. Avoid greenwashing your next #promo with #swag that's not up to #sustainabiity standards. https://t.co/7RwPRvbZvK
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) February 28, 2020
Call me a cynic but will the term Sustainability get the greenwashing treatment like eco-friendly has? I hope not, but as it has different meanings to everybody the potential is there if as an industry we don’t create some sort of cohesive message
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) February 27, 2020
Bigger accounts are concerned with social compliance especially out of China. Again, do the homework- ask for ISO 9001 paperwork, compliance audits, etc. leverage large suppliers as they have that paperwork on most products
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) February 27, 2020
Showing the quality difference in a 1-use vs. one with utility that promotes the brand’s story in a meaningful way provides more sustainability than even a greenwashed product
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) February 27, 2020
You have to educate on the CPI of a 1 use product vs. a product that is used more often. As one chef said, a bamboo straw doesn’t help anyone when it’s in the trade show garbage can at the next booth. 1
— Whiteboard Promos (@WhiteboardPromo) February 27, 2020
Research the supply chain of the product, see if the factory has social compliance audits & ask for 3rd party material docs. When it says RPET there is a paper trail, it it ain’t doc’d it ain’t real
