(SHS Photo)...after 30 days, back again!...the time was spent wisely--pounding the phone-and listening.-blasting out emails-then waiting for the replies.-turning the corporate piggy bank upside down - and asking for some tape to put nickels together to make dimes.One day after about 30 phone calls,-28 messages and 2 disconnects-I met my new … (15 comments)

styledesigner: Grab a life jacket and have a seat! - 04/03/08 06:57 PM
(Along the Rock River-SHS photo)
...it seems like lately,
everything is pushing the limits.
Mortgages, housing inventories, foreclosures-
Unavailable, too tight, too high or just too many to run away from.
When the river comes up, you never know what it is going to bring with it.
One thing it does bring is rich silt.
New ground to … (4 comments)

My silly smiling avatar had made her laugh. And laugh.
And then humanity came into play.
She called me. A small, honest connection in a big … (10 comments)

There are four points to a compass,
but 360 degrees as you go around it.
That is confusing enough.
Add in oh, say an average of 80-90 emails a day,
three or four phone calls an hour, 12 photographers scattered over a whole state and
a thousand-plus clients in your core market.
Some of you are already … (0 comments)

(SHS Photo)
The robins are back.
In force.
They flew all the way back from Texas and some points further south,
to spring in the Midwest and Canada.
Where there are still some places facing winter weather.
But the robins aren't going back, even if it does snow.
Again.
Even if it's cold and windy,
they will naturally seek … (16 comments)

styledesigner: Are you the sad clown? - 02/26/08 06:05 PM
...without someone to look at your listings,
you are just a sad clown in the spotlight looking for someone to hand you a hanky.
Face it. You have to ask hard questions about your marketing program:
-who is doing this?
-is it full service?
-what are they doing for me?
-is my branding-logo,colors, … (0 comments)

There is no doubt that a Dog, in this case a Bloodhound, is Obeos' best friend.
Greg Swann and his merry band of no-B.S. bloggers at Bloodhound Blog always have something to howl about.
Greg, by his own admission, doesn't care for much of what is out there in virtual-visual-marketing land.

Noted dead-panner Ben Stein has it down.
A total pro at non-reaction, he realizes getting too excited about anything can lead to the need to curb yourself.
...but Realtors wanna have FUN!
And they can in this or ANY market.
