E Mail: Junk E Mail Addresses

When you have to give out an e-mail address to somebody who’s going to send you things you don’t want in your inbox, give them a special “junk” e-mail address. Then set up a rule so that everything to that address goes to a folder you review on your timetable.

Book Review: When You Lie About Your Age, The Terrorists Win by Carol Leifer

I hate the title. But once I got past that, I loved the book, When You Lie About Your Age, The Terrorists Win: Reflections On Looking In The Mirror, by Carol Leifer.

Leifer is more than 50 and the book is a series of vignettes about her life during middle age. In some of the chapters — which are exclusive to the others and in no chronological order — she’s in her 40s, while in others she’s in her 50s. Leifer talks about things that all of us “middle-agers” can relate to, getting older with all our aches to our self-realization.

Artist-producer, Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) is Mercer’s other half. The duo makes up the Broken Bells.

App Review: OPI

My daughter recently told me about an app that she thought I would enjoy having, called OPI, which is actually a brand name of nail polish.

OPI and Essie are the two brands that you see most at nail salons across the country. I always prefer the OPI brand because I think it lasts longer than the Essie brand.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Social Media

I give a lot of seminars and speaking engagements around the country. Every time I speak, someone inevitably asks the question, “Can’t I just use an intern or lower level person to tweet for me?”

You can do what you want, but if you want your social media efforts to be effective and part of your on-going marketing efforts, then you need to have someone who is sensitive to your brand in charge of these efforts. This person needs to fully comprehend your product or service and know the right language, tone, etc., to place your brand the best possible light.
