February 15, 2013 by Lisa Gerber 9 Comments

Cleaning the dust bunnies

So I did it. I went a month without eating grains, dairy, or sugar. Yes, that means no wine, too – the hardest part of the whole month. After I made it through the phase of wanting to kill all the people and eat all the food, I discovered a few unexpected things about business, […]

Seven Google Analytics Metrics Every Marketer Should Watch

February 13, 2013 by Lisa Gerber 4 Comments

big data

People, please have Google Analytics installed on your website. I thought this goes without saying. But I’m finding it doesn’t. Don’t you want to know how many people are looking at your site? Where they are coming from? What they are looking at? I thought so.  I want to thank Adria Saracino for guest posting for me […]

dumb it down for the masses

Today, I’d like to share a story about treating your newbie market with care and why it’s important to dumb your message down for the masses. I’m working on getting wine labels printed for a client. (And when I say “client” I actually mean my amazing husband who is a winemaker and has a startup […]

TripAdvisor vs. Foursquare For Your Business

February 7, 2013 by Lisa Gerber 5 Comments

tripadvisor vs. foursquare

“What is the difference between TripAdvisor and Foursquare, and where should I focus my attention?” This is a question I get frequently from small business owners. You know I’m about to answer this question with the word “depends,” don’t you? The real question is, are you, a small business owner taking advantage of the local and […]

Differentiate and Be Nice to the Bag Boys

February 4, 2013 by Lisa Gerber 11 Comments

The bag boys at the grocery store hate me. I bring my own bags for a reason. That means I don’t want my wine in it’s own bag, and I don’t need ice cream in an additional bag. I watch and “make suggestions,” and generally drive them up a wall. The ladies at the shop […]

Media Relations vs. Influencer Relations

January 31, 2013 by Lisa Gerber 16 Comments

media and influencer relations

There really isn’t a difference between media and influencer relations. And I’ll explain. But I’d like to digress first and talk about the future of journalism. Italics mine because I have to laugh at the idea of forecasting the future. Have you seen this special project in the New York Times, Snow Fall: The Avalanche […]

January 28, 2013 by Lisa Gerber 11 Comments

Fetal position

January 2013 will be remembered as the most difficult and suckiest month of my life. After I wrote that crisis post two weeks ago, our family suffered a tragic loss.

PR technologist

This is a post I originally wrote as chief content officer for Spin Sucks. Also! I’ll be speaking on this topic at the PRSA Western District Conference in Arizona in April.

What To Do If Your Brand Gets Slammed

January 15, 2013 by Lisa Gerber 15 Comments

Brand Gets Slammed

Imagine you’re the founder of a major sporting shoes manufacturer and a national bestselling book has just started a running revolution; one that touts the benefits of running without said expensive running shoes.

What Others Are Saying

Thanks to Danny Brown for listing Lisa as a top 5 blogger to watch in 2013:
