Happy Holidays from the Opinionated Marketers
Whatever holiday rings your chimes (mine happens to be Christmas) happy holidays to marketers - opinionated or not - everywhere.
Here’s a link to a little something for under your virtual tree: Pragmatic Marketing has turned a series of articles I wrote on Practical Rules for Product Management into an eBook. For those who don’t know [...]
Opinionated Marketers staycation
Okay, I’m not going anywhere, but I do need to take a bit of a breather, so this opinionated marketer will be back after Labor Day with a few more opinions.
Memorial Day, 2009
One of my favorite things about Memorial Day is that it is refreshingly non-commercial. Other than buying charcoal for the grill and geraniums for the graves, there’s not a lot of buying and selling going on.
Marketers - opinionated and otherwise (and I’ve seldom met a marketer who wasn’t opinionated) - get to take the [...]
A partially nifty design from HP
I had to buy a new mouse the other day. Well, “had to” may be something of an exaggeration. But I do like having an external mouse for my laptop, and my other two mice were done. On one, the batteries weren’t staying connected, on the other, the USB stick had snapped off. Oh, well.
So [...]
à bien·tôt - At least for a couple of days
I’m vacationing in Paris for the week. We’re taking my nieces - 11 and 12 - and have an apartment with a living room view of the Eiffel Tower. (What’s not to like, eh?)
Anyway, I’m sure that on my return I’ll have something to say about French marketing (at least what I’ll be able to [...]
Presidents’ Day
Opinionated Marketers is on holiday.
Now is the time for all good Americans to come to the age of their country by going shopping for something practical and necessary, yet something that could definitely have been postponed. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I’m going to buy me something today. Maybe I’ll go to [...]
Opinionated Marketing Takes a Holiday
This opinionated marketer is taking a holiday. We’ll be back in the new year, and I’m sure we’ll still have plenty of opinions to take us through 2009.
So whatever holidays you celebrate or don’t celebrate, I hope that you enjoy them - and that 2009 is a happy, healthy, creative, interesting, challenging, and prosperous year [...]
What’s in your wallet?
Well, there’s no getting around the fact that for most of us, in our extended, metaphorical, 401-K-ish wallet, there’s less than there was last year.
But if you’re reading this blog, there’s an exceedingly high probability that there’s more in your wallet than there is in that of the average person who uses the services of [...]
I’m dreaming of a Black-berry
Sometimes it seems as if, as the lowly possessor of a dumbphone, and a dumber ancient Palm Pilot, I am not worthy of calling myself a technology marketer. Shouldn’t I be showing at least some modicum of tech lust, after all? Don’t I need to demonstrate to my clients that I’m with it. Every time [...]
Halloween, 2008
There’s a lot to be scared about out there.
But this is Halloween, a quite wonderful day, from where I sit.
I’m looking forward to a busy evening, helping my sister give out to the hundreds of Trick or Treaters who will ring her bell in Salem, Massachusetts. And to snagging a couple of Butterfingers, and maybe [...]
