It turns out that many brokers have things a bit backwards when it comes to marketing properties. At a recent conference I learned that a study of real estate buyers shows that 80+% of buyers prefer great photos over virtual tours (the “spin-around-to-see-the-room’ kind) and 80+% of brokers prefer virtual tours. A bit backwards wouldn’t [...]

Memorable

I mostly remember either the stuff that was really exceptional or the stuff that was really bad. I remember stuff like Dan from back in 1988, the exceptional Nordstrom sales guy, who mailed me birthday cards. I remember the awful boat rental shop in Lake Powell called “Do Powell” from back in 2003. However, I [...]

I had a family dinner at Rex’s recently and because we have a daughter a key factor in our decision to eat at Rex’s was the fact that they have cool little coloring kits for kids. Princess kits for girls & train kits for boys (I think – we only have a girl).

What’s in a Name?

In 1996 two guys had an internet search company called “Backrub.” They soon renamed it to Google.
In 1893, a young pharmacist created a drink that bore his name: “Brad’s Drink” In 1898, Brad’s Drink was renamed “Pepsi-Cola”, and what would become the world’s most recognized “number 2″ brand was born.
Naming your company, organization, development, etc, [...]
Who’s Looking For You?

A relatively new site called Quantcast provides the ability to gather some interesting statistics regarding website demographics. I’m not sure how accurate the data is but I’d expect it to improve overtime. Running a report on www.steamboat.com yields some interesting info:
steamboat.com reaches approximately 13,976 U.S. monthly uniques. The site attracts a over 65, mostly Caucasian, [...]
