If you are a regular reader of this blog, then you know we are all about Delivering Marketing Joy! At Hasseman Marketing it is our mission. We want to provide a great marketing experience for our customers, from beginning to end. But Delivering Marketing Joy has evolved into so much more, so we thought it might be helpful to sort it out! Delivering Marketing Joy, The Book: Yes! One of the early ways we started to spread the Delivering Marketing Joy message was through the book. Delivering Marketing Joy (the book) is a all about how to do your next Promotional products campaign well. Kirby discusses the in’s and out’s about why promo works…and even has case studies about others in the industry. This is a must read for anyone in the promo industry (in our humble opinion) but is also great for anyone that wants to be more effective in creating these campaigns! Delivering Marketing Joy, The Web Show: Next up came the Delivering Marketing Joy Web show. Each week, Kirby interviews different leaders, entrepreneurs, authors and marketers on how to do business better. The response has been fantastic! These interviews give the viewer an insight into what makes great business (and marketing) tick. You can see the entire list of episodes here. And let’s face it, it will be much more productive for you to binge watch this, than Netflix! Oh, and if you never want to miss an episode, feel free to subscribe to the Youtube channel here! Oh, and our Web Show just won a PPAI Silver Pyramid Award, so we are super pumped about that! Delivering Marketing Joy, The Podcast: Since we began the Web Show, we have had requests to turn it into a podcast so people could listen in on the go! So…as of the beginning of this year, we created the DMJ Podcast. But we decided to take it to the next level! So each business day, Kirby gives a quick 5 to 10 minute podcast designed to inspire and educate, and give a little “kick in the pants!” On Wednesday, we share the audio from the Web Show…so you still get that too!
