Although my first of my three meetings started at 7:30 am, my day actually started three hours earlier with light Things To Accomplish. Suffice it to say that the Bredemarket blog will have daily content until Monday, August 4.
I took a mid-afternoon break before my third meeting, the Inland Empire BizFest in Montclair. I wrote about that here and here, plus on the Bredemarket socials.
Log those business miles.
In fact I knew I would be so busy today that I declined a personal invite at 10 this morning. Good thing I declined, because I was neck deep in a requirements workbook (yeah, Microsoft Excel again) for a Bredemarket client’s end customer. (Can you say TOT? I knew you could.)
Anyway, I left Montclair Place before 7:30 pm and called it a night after a long day.
Thankfully the first day of August only includes a single meeting.
If you’re a tech marketer who is attending the Inland Empire BizFest at the Main Event in Montclair, California on Thursday evening, I’m going to save you a few minutes.
Take the long way home to marketing and writing services
Tech marketers seeking marketing and writing services will have to go through these steps.
Look for John E. Bredehoft. I look like this, although I haven’t decided if I’ll wear the tie and jacket.
John E. Bredehoft of Bredemarket.
Ask me, “Hey, John, you offer those marketing and writing services, right?”
Ask me for a brochure.
Download the brochure now
Why don’t you save yourself a few minutes and download the brochure now?
And to save even more time, you can go ahead and visit the referenced “bredemarket.com/mark” page now also. This web page covers the stuff I couldn’t fit on the one-page brochure.
The best laid plans of wildebeests and men often go awry
But if you don’t have a chance to download the brochure or visit the “Stop losing prospects” page, I plan to be at the Main Event on Thursday.
Note that I said I PLAN to be at the Main Event. The last time I planned to be at an event (a business expo in Los Angeles), neither my client nor I made it.
So I don’t guarantee I’ll be there, but I plan to be there.
Admittedly a lot of content, especially for a non-working day. (One was scheduled.) But if your technology firm lacks marketing content, I know a guy – https://bredemarket.com/mark/
I had heard that Corona’s Monster Beverage had purchased Thrifty Ice Cream as part of the Rite Aid bankruptcy proceedings, but wanted to confirm this. And the news was partially correct.
Not Monster Beverage, but a separate corporate entity known as Hilrod Holdings.
“Hilrod Holdings is linked to Hilton Schlosberg and Rodney Sacks, who until recently were co-CEOs at the energy drink company Monster Beverage Corporation. Sacks stepped down from his position as co-CEO in mid-June.”
Monster Beverage is primarily known for Monster Energy drinks, and used to be the original owner of Hansen’s non-energy drink (sold to Coca-Cola who then axed it).
Sacks, 75, is now Chairman at Monster, so both Schlosberg and Sacks are still connected with Monster while simultaneously running Hilrod. Not that ice cream directly competes with energy drinks, but the Hilrod hobby could raise some eyebrows.
