Finally, food is being appreciated as more than just it’s literal form. It can be used to create context and narrative to a story. Check out this article: https://lnkd.in/eWEC4Cik. Also, on that note, some updated work I’d like to share. Would love to hear your creative feedback! https://lnkd.in/ei8hn-GU

It's a beautiful quiet sunrise. 🌞🌻🙏🏼🙌 Testing POV Video in 4K We're testing POV videos and plan to produce more next year with a more serious approach. You might see a few more by the end of this year, but no promises. There could be one more today or tomorrow featuring the Jeep, as we head to Telford for a visit to the Wrekin to watch the sunset, weather permitting. Areas for Improvement: 1. Audio Quality: We'll use the DJI Mic for better voiceover quality. 2. Camera Placement: The GoPro will be positioned between the eyes for an improved POV. 3. Color Correction: The GoPro's colors need correction and grading in post-production. 4. Planning: Better planning for each POV shoot is necessary. In future POVs, there will be less or none of the photography elements, whilst gearing more towards the driving of the vehicle and showing its features. More work means more challenges, but I love it and am thankful for the opportunities coming my way. 🙏🏼 "Stay optimistic and positive, and have a solutions first mindset" - is my motto 🤍🙌🙏🏼

You put two in the wash and only one comes out. Now what do you do with the one? 😀 - Toss it in the trash. - Turn it into a cleaning rag. - Make a sock monkey. - Leave it in your drawer indefinitly just hoping the mate will turn up. - Pair the odd socks up and wear them. 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼? While we're on the subject of socks, did you know that socks can be customized with your brand or design? Talk to me about using socks as part of your promotional marketing. #promotionalproducts #branding #marketingideas

The charts overfloweth. For the bike market I hope overall retail spending continues to grow. Strong demand through 2024 will be really healthy for the market. If it is going to slow, I hope it is a gradual slowdown and not something sharp driven by external factors. Some standouts for me: Ecommerce sales growth continues to wildly outpace overall retail and now makes up 17% of total retail sales. Used car market is showing growth in large part driven by falling prices. Our data shows something similar for the mountain bike category. Multi-year trend in home improvement, garden, sporting goods, and electronics has parallels to bikes. Some of the speculation about what's driving spending (job market, immigration, investment returns) are interesting.

When it comes to outdoor branding, the setting of your photoshoot can dramatically impact how your brand is perceived. For businesses in the outdoor, adventure, and eco-friendly industries, the Colorado Rocky Mountain foothills offer an ideal backdrop that combines stunning natural beauty with a spirit of adventure. Here’s why this region should be your first choice for an outdoor branding photoshoot, especially if you are looking to attract an audience that values authenticity and an active lifestyle.

After seeing the Lance Hedrick video about contact points in pour over coffee cones, the first thing I thought was "that's Bernoulli's Principle!" See, each contact point is like a segment of a tunnel, just as a plane's wing is also a segment of a tunner... ANYWAY, the original video for this Breville Bambino review has helped a lot of people because of this little section about Bernoulli's Principle and how it works in espresso-making of pressurized portafilter baskets! This video breaks down the basic physics behind fluid dynamics and its application in achieving the coffee, demonstrating how pressure and tunnel effects create a delicious brew. #EspressoScience #BernoulliPrinciple #CoffeeLovers #PhysicsOfCoffee #FluidDynamics #BaristaTips #CoffeeMaking #LearnPhysics #EspressoArt #CoffeeScience

I expect that the entrepreneurial landscape for bike shops will increasingly feature mixed format retailers. Bike retail will certainly take many forms moving forward, but shops like this go a long way to reinforce the unique place that bike shops play in a neighborhood retail environment.

Kudos to Grace Kerber and the Mohawk Chevrolet marketing team for doing everything every marketer aspires to do ✨ Their TikTok series, "The Dealership" is the spoof of "The Office" that we didn't know we needed. Brilliant, hilarious, and wildly entertaining. (Mohawk Chevrolet, never fire this team. But also if you do — send 'em to Carter House Copy!) #marketing #marketingstrategy

Sometimes you need something special for Executives and Board Members. When you do, remember to give me a call. Here's what we did for the MPI board retreat. This incredible portfolio has the company logo and is personalized with the Board member's name. And what good is a portfolio if you don't have something to write in it with, right? So we also did these fabulous logoed metal pens. The rose gold one is a favorite with the ladies. 😀 What may I help you with? #Executivegifts #boardretreatideas #swag #promotionalproducts

What's the biggest marketing challenge for Tallie Martin of New England Outdoor Center Inc.? Navigating the unpredictability of the seasons and weather. Tallie often has to base her efforts on what they *hope* the season will bring. But it's tough to make accurate predictions. Last year might have been a hit, but can we expect the same this time around? This uncertainty is particularly tricky in the spring, especially in April, when things tend to slow down. That period is always a challenge for her in terms of figuring out how to keep the marketing momentum going. Tallie has also turned to AI during these times to break through creative blocks. It’s not just spring either—November poses similar difficulties. It’s definitely a balancing act between the highs and lows of the seasons and the ever-changing weather. How do you keep the marketing energy up during seasonal or weather-related lulls?

It's dull as product categories go, but a good portable power strip remains a game changer, whether you're on the road or just sick of having to juggle plugs. My review of the One Beat 9-in-1 Power Strip: #power #design
