Don't you hate it when businesses don't take the word "unsubscribe" seriously? I've unsubscribed from Ziff Davis's Web Buyer's Guide numerous times over the past few years. Yet they still send me emails, promising the latest in brand awareness-related white papers, case studies, and so forth. Every day–every single day–they send me one these:
But what about Ziff's "brand awareness"?
For me, it's simple: Ziff Davis = spam. (That's unfair, actually. I have a far better relationship with Spam. Hormel Foods never tried…

Over at MarketingSherpa, my good friend Anne Holland expresses the challenges she's facing choosing colors for her redesign. I can empathize for sure. It's one of the reasons I suggest to first design and show design in gray scale; color is an emotionally laden language most of us don't speak well, yet we understand it at gut level. Anne says:
If you've ever had to choose site colors, you'll understand completely. The three biggest problems:

Last week, I had bad luck getting my emails returned. The switch from PC to Mac hasn't exactly been as seamless as advertised (to be fair, though, most issues still revolve around, of course, Microsoft). Entourage is branding all my outgoing emails as coming from "An Office for Mac Test Drive User" while I wait for the new licenses to arrive. Thanks, Bill.
As if this weren't bad enough, now I'm having trouble getting internal messages answered! My account is linked…

I was reading an article about the lack of women speakers at web conferences. Does gender diversity really matter? Isn't a good speaker a good speaker? Why should it matter whether a speaker is male or female?
In web design, does gender really matter? Isn't a good designer a good designer?
I specialize in marketing to women online. One questions I often get is, "If I'm targeting women, should I get a woman to design my website?"

May 7-9th in San Francisco, CA, I'll be presenting alongside many of my good friends from the web analytics industry. If your business depends on metrics (and all of them should by now), then use coupon code "grok" to save 10% on your registration for the Emetrics Summit. Rumor has it, if you register early enough could be eligible to win a seat at the "Breakfast with Gurus". I hope to see you there.

"Create a positive customer experience!" commands your task master. "You must ensure our site visitors can meet their goals and have a positive interaction with our company!"

Pay Per Click ads? Banner ads? Print Ads? Radio ads? TV ads? Etc. If you do, I am sure you could find some hearty ideas to improve your ad writing from my buddy Tim Miles (a very good ad writer). Grab a mug and head on over to The Ad-Writer's 12-Pack at American Small Business.
Let me give you two examples…
Ok, example two is clearly the superior page for several reasons. But here is my question:
What if example one did nothing else but add the high quality customer reviews (yes even the negative ones) found on example two?
Do you think they would sell more shoes?
Not sure? Our friends at Bazaarvoice have more insight.
And now the most important question: Do you think I would look cute in those shoes?…

There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. Eccles. 3:1~
It's that time again.. Back to School~
Sweet Pea looks shocked.. Doesn't she? Time goes by so incredibly fast. We were at one of our favorite parks the other day. It was a park we use to go with our dear friends "The S Family" and we think of you every time we are there.
It seems like yesterday I was sitting at that park on my due date with our third child. I was still very much pregnant and so desperate for time to pass. Now I realize how quickly these little ones grow.
My dear cousin Jenny 's
wonderful children were just little tots and now they are wonderful young adults. It seems as if it happened overnight.
It is so fun to watch your children grow and see them develop into godly young people. Our older children make us laugh and are so insightful and helpful. We will always be nostalgic over what they were like as young ones. Parenthood is such a blessing.
We have always encouraged our children to follow God's call on their lives. I thought it would be fun to write down where they feel led right now..
He would like to be a missionary pilot...
She would like like to teach at an orphanage in Ethiopia..
She wants to be a Homeschooling Mama..
She would love to be an artist..
He wants to be a police officer..
He would like to be a farmer..
He would like to be a firefighter...
He would like to drive stock cars...
The children feel her calling is to be an electrician...really! She has a knack for finding electrical cords where ever we go ;o)
Where ever God calls them we are blessed He has entrusted these precious little ones to our care.

The so-called "sneakerhead" culture, with its roots in basketball and hip-hop, began in the late 1980s with the release of the first Nike Air Jordan shoes, the brand of former Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan. Now the fad of collecting and trading athletic shoes is taking on a new fervor.
That's partly because of the re-release of vintage shoes in limited quantities. Experts who track the trend say the Internet and social networking also have created more interest.
Avid collectors sometimes reap hundreds or even thousands of dollars in profits by reselling shoes they buy for $200 a pair. The recession, and people's need for cash, also may be playing a role. One recent release of limited edition shoes caused riots in Orlando, Fla., and other cities.

Orchard Street acquires Travelodge in Manchester
Related fund data links
Orchard Street Investment Management has completed the acquisition of the Manchester Arena Travelodge, on behalf of St James Place Property Unit Trust, from the BP Pension Fund.
The hotel was acquired through an off market transaction for a purchase price of GBP14.2 million.
Located on the former Boddington's Brewery site in Manchester, the asset is let to Travelodge on 35 year lease with RPI linked reviews. The 200 bedroom hotel was developed by the BP Pension Fund and Marcus Worthington Properties in 2010.
Barney Rowe, Partner at Orchard Street, says: "The acquisition of this popular Travelodge asset in central Manchester enables us to benefit from exposure to inflation linked rental growth. This, together with the asset's excellent location close to Manchester City Centre and adjacent to Manchester's Phones 4U Arena, underlines our confidence in the asset's long term reversionary potential."
