The Daily Krier

I’m in need of ordering t-shirts for an upcoming event, and I recently received a catalog from a company that sells personalized clothing, stuff that you can embroider or silkscreen.  Now I have never worked with this company before but they were referred to me by a reputable source.  In fact, the person referring them [...]

I ordered these fabulous croco pumps in purple a few weeks ago, not sure if they would work out or not but I felt fairly confident after all the positive reviews I read.  Well the shoes arrived and they not only fit and are comfortable but they are truly fabulous!  I’ve worn them several times [...]

It’s Monday night which means Monday Night Football, and tonight’s game is especially interesting for those of us here in Wisconsin. Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or aren’t a football fan) it’s the first meeting this season of the Packers and Vikings.  It’s always a heated rivalry but this week even moreso as [...]

My dad is relatively new to social media but has (sort of) embraced it. He’s on Twitter (but doesn’t Tweet that often) and Facebook and while having lunch with him today and hearing him talk about the barbershop group he’s a member of, I suggested that he start a fan page.  After explaining what that [...]

We’re heading into Q4 of the calendar year which means like many out there, I’m in the throes of working on 2010 planning.  Seth Godin has had some interesting posts on the subject lately (the platform vs the eyeballs and do marketers have assets?) and I had a great conversation with someone on Friday about social [...]

Quick follow up to last week’s blog post.  After blog posts by several people, Tweets (including one that included the @hiltonhhonors name), Facebook posting, etc., we were stunned that we hadn’t heard from Hilton.  My friend Barry who had his points revoked by Hilton finally sent an email to a PR guy at Hilton including [...]

There’s a lot of talk these days about the importance of listening to what’s being said about you as a company.  The rise of social media has given individuals a voice and those voices are incredibly powerful.  Surely you haven’t forgotten the guy whose guitar was smashed by American Airlines.   Now more than ever, companies, [...]

The company I work for truly understands the power of social media.  Our CEO leads by example and social media is becoming an ingrained part of our culture.  Our first success story was being notified by a client via Facebook that we had been awarded the contract.  Huge success!  The second success story was one [...]

I had the privilege this afternoon of hearing three dynamic speakers at an event I attended.  Upon reflection, what I came away with was this one very important observation:  there are so many great ideas out there that can help you improve your business or your profession.  The hard part is actually implementing those ideas.  [...]

I love healthcare providers that are embracing technology and social media. I’m a huge fan of communicating online and recently saw a new general practitioner.  After filling out some brief paperwork the old fashioned way, I was set up to view my test results, schedule appointments, look up my health history and email my doctor.
