Tech Marketers, Save Time at Thursday’s Inland Empire BizFest
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.
- 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?
That’s one less piece of paper to haul around.
Visit the web page 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.
You going?
If not, here’s a video you can enjoy instead.
I’m Not For Everyone
I’m not for everyone.
And no, Bredemarket doesn’t offer resume writing services. (You wouldn’t want them anyway.)

Inland Empire BizFest
Main Event (Montclair Place), Montclair, California, July 31, 2025.
Sponsored by the Montclair (California) Chamber of Commerce, the SBDC, and other entities.

Mountain Avenue Rite Aid is Closing in Five Days
Update to my July 2 Bredemarket blog post.
As of July 21, the Rite Aid at 4th and Mountain in Ontario, California IS closing. In the next five days.
And while the Thrifty Ice Cream counter at this store is empty, at least the Thrifty company survives.
More pictures below. Avoid if store closings depress you.
My July 4
My July 4 included a parade and cherries.

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/
The (Sort Of) Monster That is Thrifty Ice Cream
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.
Yes, Thrifty Ice Cream’s sale was approved on July 1 at a purchase price of $19.2 million.
The buyer?
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.
The Two Levels of Mall Importance
Let’s promote our mall in Ontario by telling you to go to the IMPORTANT mall we own in Brea.
July 4 Parade, Post Assembly
In addition to the security and pre-assembly videos I filmed before today’s July 4 Independence Day parade in Ontario, California, I also filmed a little bit of video during the parade itself.
But not the bagpipes. (I heard enough of them when I lived near Upland High years ago.)
The video below includes the Vietnam veterans and Chaffey High School. (Not that any current Chaffey students are Vietnam veterans.)
There is no video of horses, because I saw no horses during the parade. Don’t know why.
For comparison, here is my July 4, 2023 post.
Back to promoting Bredemarket content services (in Ontario and elsewhere) later.
Security?
Chaffey.
