6 steps to creating a business blog, having a wee laugh & Wiggly Wigglers anyone?!



6 steps to creating a Business Blog
This is a good article – you can read it quickly enough but if you follow the 6 steps set out here, it will take a bit of time – but investing the time now will save time writing blogs later.  The 6 steps are: Get Inspiration from other blogs; Create your Mission Statement; Match your marketing and blogging goals; Set your blogging schedule and Monitor and evaluate your results. http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/business-blogging-plan/

Wiggly Wigglers anyone?
Apparently The Guardian got a massive Twitter response when it ran a feature on quirky business names and here is their Top 10.  See if you can guess what the nature of their businesses is – Wiggly Wigglers, Duke of Pork, Canary Dwarf, Feeling Peaky, Smoke & Croak, Yellobelly, Goldipots, Woofbox, Cakes with Faces and Sensible Dave!  While they are quirky, I’m not sure ‘Feeling Peaky’ or ‘Yellobelly’ are  great names for a marketing agency?!  Talking points they may be but do they do what it says on the tin?!   

Having a Wee Laugh!
Sometimes they get it wrong but more often than not, they get it right – Paddy Power that is!  My favourite is still the ‘Rangers’ Next Signing/Pope’ campaign during an Ireland V Scotland rugby weekend a few years ago.  But this one, to coincide with the Giro, takes the p*** literally!  http://www.independent.ie/sport/paddy-power-offers-clean-urine-swap-in-giro-publicity-stunt-30263847.html
