Spam to the world, the Adverts have come!

Posted by jehoshuakilen in Branding, Business, CommunityRenewal, Marketing on 01 5th, 2010 | Comments

I recently attended a holiday event with my family, a 2+ mile drive through professionally constructed Christmas lights in Spanaway WA; nice enough for what it was, but it was the advertising that got to me. Littered throughout the drive were large banner signs for local companies. They were sponsorships the event has sold based on the promise that thousands of people will see the signs and remember the displayed brand at some point in the future, PROBABLY resulting in a sale. It’s the modern form of snake oil… Honestly, is anyone more likely to buy a newspaper or go to a...

The Power of Giving

Posted by jehoshuakilen in Branding, Business, CommunityRenewal, Marketing on 10 13th, 2009 | Comments

Short Post today, working on a longer one for tomorrow. I found a great book on www.chrisbrogan.com called The Power of Giving that basically talks about the main themes I try to espouse here. Giving to others will enrich you in more ways than you know and this book goes into detail about how that works. Look at it and tell me what you think. Tomorrow we can talk about how exactly to find your values as a company and start consciously living those out everyday! ...

What Everyone Ought to Know about Business and Charity

Your local community is crying out for business to come to its aid, and it is not that difficult to answer the call. Yesterday I highlighted TOMS Shoes as a worthwhile example of how a company can integrate donation into its business model. Sure, it’s easy for them since they started that way, but how do we do that at a local level with an established company? Here’s some steps you can take to successfully start donating your product or services to charities: Find a charity or organization that supports your values.Many times when people hear of donating to charity or being...

Bringing light (and shoes) to those in need

Posted by jehoshuakilen in Business, CommunityRenewal, Marketing on 10 6th, 2009 | Comments

A recent post by Guy Richards reminded me that the ideas in my previous post are not novel by any stretch of the imagination. Tom’s Shoes has been living the lifestyle of giving since it’s inception. For those who don’t know, for every pair of shoes bought from Tom’s, they give a pair away to a needy child somewhere in the world. It is a wonderful model and it seems to be working for them, even gaining some ad time with AT&T. But how can a smaller local business follow in these steps? Do we need to help children all over the world or is there something we can...

Can You Change the World?

Posted by jehoshuakilen in Branding, Business, CommunityRenewal, Marketing, Nonprofit on 10 5th, 2009 | Comments

Business can serve others I’ve got a radical idea. I ‘m creating a company that believes we are at our most prosperous and productive when we invest increased wealth to directly impact and renew communities. Imagine if we used our prosperity for the good of others? Imagine if we only live with what we need and use the rest to give back to those who need our help the most? Imagine what would happen if those who have more invest in those who don’t so that they can produce and achieve? This company will be an organization dedicated to helping each partner (client) discover its identity...
