More interesting than the actual game, the commercials on this year's Super Game made some impressive statements. John and Angel review their favorite ads based on how well they made the connection between the brand and the content. John's commercial and documentary background  leads to his belief that its not enough to have a memorable ad, it must remind you of the actual brand who made the ad. Fresh out the morning after the game, we review these ads and you can also listen to our podcast each week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and anywhere you can listen to a podcast.Watch this episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/q4edEdj1HhUOur Website is http://marketingmediacupcakes.com

Email Best Practices

Email Best Practices

2021-01-1542:23

Email remains the most accepted way to connect with business communications. Even more so after 2020 and social media platforms becoming less reliable for existing. Angel reviews her best practices for composing emails.1) Be clear and concise 2) Proofread3) Copy back important point or responses4) Use subject lines keywords to get attention5) Don't say anything you don't want to regret later6) If the email has to bounce back and forth more than 3 times, call them. John repeats the phone calls and emails are still best practices for "first contact" situations with clients or customers. If someone DMs you on LinkedIn or Facebook, direct them to email you at your address. If people contact you via text or some other platform, tell them your best way to contact you is  (is a phone, email, cellphone) If your cellphone is not for business tell your customers if you give them it, please only use it for emergencies. Check your email daily. If your business email is on a website or on your business card, and you don't check it often, then remove it from those contacts. You are paid to solve problems not creating ones but having customers worried that you didn't get a message.

If you're own a business you are going to have a bad review show up in a phone call or post online. How should you respond? John and Angel share their process on how to deal with an upset customer. Angel shares her HEAT process.H earE mpathizeA pologize (not for what you did but for the experience)T ake Action  (do not say what you can't do, but what you can do)John suggests with online reviews, do not ignore them! You should post online showing you are addressing the issue. Do not get into a post war. If you can't resolve the issue and have it removed by the customer, then you should move the conversation offline. If the post remains, the only way to combat this is to add new legitimate reviews that will reduce the ratio of the bad review and up your rating. Don't have your friends write fake reviews. Have legitimate customers. You should have an active review process to get more reviews. In today's challenging times, it is critical for your small business to have reviews online.

John shares how he made a mistake (well several) in launching his new Podcast Production brand. In many cases, branding mistakes happen not because of one glaring error but several small errors that alone aren't a big deal, but until you see the whole picture, becomes a major problem.John shares how rolling his Premiere Podcast brand back under Ondo Media was the best choice he could have made. John's points to avoiding a brand sin are:1) Make sure you run your brand through another set of eyes, someone who is not familiar with your brand. 2) Make sure you do a thorough check of the domain name, making sure you check for alternate spellings or other markets with similar business names. 3) Separate brands need separate phone numbers and addresses or Google will count that against you.For more information on Ondo MediaFor more information on AngelsCustomCupcakesEmail us at john@ondomedia.com
