Amazing guests! Superb information to grow your business is tough times! Unique ideas! We bring it all to you, on Uniqueness is Power, your Business Growth Solutions show.
Right into the show we dove, with the founders of Strategy Magazine (www.strategymagazine.com) – a great new resource for the discerning professional who doesn’t have time for a stack of news to pile through – but still needs to stay abreast of each aspect of their business category. Broken into 8 disciplines, Strategy delivers a concise, holistic business synopsis to the actionable business professional. The print magazine is on introductory pricing at $19.95 – and you should sign up for an account online today.
Next, we move from magazines, to books – where we pick up with Kim Boim, of WWAOW (www.wwaow.com), the WorldWide Association of Writers. Kim started out by describing how, anyone with a book in them, can now be published – AND pick up 5 copies of their book, for $80. Yes, $80. They give you the shipping, handling, and distribution channel as part of the deal – and you get the word out. One of the coolest features we thought, was that hardcovers cost only about $2/copy more than softcovers – and that you can be up and running in about 90 seconds, assuming you have a pdf’d and formatted version of your book ready.
In addition, WWAOW has arms and legs in the corporate and government manual, employee handbook, etc realm – and they are backed by Peleman, a company with nearly 8 decades of binding experience. Finally, I love WWAOW because they use steel binding on the hardcovers, and that makes it darn near impossible to lose pages or have binding breaks. Gosh, the Long Tail model lives again!
Finally, we spoke with Craig VanPelt of PlantMakers (www.gogreenplanters.com) – who is someone who can truly grow your business (and your position in the marketplace!) with his new GoGreen Program for hotels. Can you imagine being able to offer a live plant in every room – and make it not only a marketing position, but also a profit center? Maybe it is hard to believe, but that is what Plantmakers brings to the table – or the counter or vanity or dressertop – in each of your hotel rooms. Using the coveted Milennial Soil, this program allows hotel owners to “go green” with no mess, little added labor – and helps them sell more than sleep. We are fortunate to have Craig back on the show, where he had spoken about how restaurants can also benefit. Be sure to check in with him and see how he can assist you and your hotel or restaurant – and as always, please let our guests know you heard about here, on Uniqueness is Power.
Thanks!
