A Note to Readers

Real Life, Real Answers

It might seen a little strange to see an article about snowboarding headlining this week’s issue of MarketingProfs. And frankly, it IS a little odd.

But take a look at the excellent piece penned by my friend Andrea Learned of ReachWomen.

Like any good marketer, Andrea is passionate about her “product” – which in her case is helping businesses walk the walk in the women’s market. Even when she’s far from home, shredding in Colorado, she’s thinking about this stuff.

Which is why I really like this piece. It’s inspired by real life and offers real answers.

Oh, and it’s a fun read, too. Check it out.

Until next week,
