microMARKETING: From the One Big Thing to the Right Small Things*

[*Read to the end of the post to find out how to WIN A FREE copy of Greg’s new book!]

When I found out last summer that my friend Greg Verdino was writing a book, I thought “Finally! A chance to get inside of that brilliant mind of his!” And trust me when I say, microMARKETING does not disappoint.

And when I heard about the “lots and lots of small reviews” experiment, I invited myself to the party (thanks again Aaron & Greg!) and asked to blog about Chapter 9.

How about increasing the volume on some conversation that push people to think or act more mindfully, bettering our professions, our societies, and our day-to-day lives? Our last post was tongue in cheek, but this one is full of hope (and a little humor, too). Here are 10 current or would-be memes that could better our online conversations.

1. Stakeholders Are Smarter Than Most. Wouldn’t your job would be 100% easier if you let your customers/donors and/or volunteers do their job? And that job is to participate in a relationship with your organization as extended members of the enterprise, either as customers, donors, volunteers, or brand investors.
