Small Business Owners Voices Must Be Heard
We Get The Government We Deserve!
In business and in life there are things we can do something about and others we can’t.
Savvy business owners have a good idea which is which and concentrate on those they can effect, leaving the others for their conversations at the coffee shop.
There is no area where our individual influence can have more impact than politics. If we are committed, willing to speak our mind, and constructive in our input.
Our elected representatives need to hear from us. They need to know that we are tired of the political football game, where important issues are kicked around but never finally concluded.
We need to let them know how we feel about the job they’re doing, they are our employees after all. We must honestly and continually provide them with their job approval rating, at least as we see it.
We installed a government website search tool to help you locate, among other things, the contact information your representatives.
Click here and contact your state houses and Washington DC.
Tell them what you think about the issues, give them a perspective from Main Street, USA
And pass this along to your friends, get everybody up and down Main Street in contact with their elected representatives.
Do that and do it often and before you know it we’ll have a real representative democracy again!
Jamie O’Donnell speaks to David Moore, Chairman, IAB & Chairman, 24/7 Real Media and Brian Pitz, Equity Research, UBS, as part of IAB day at Connected Marketing Week in San Francisco, 2010. David discusses the future of display advertising, in particular, how display advertising is going to appear across all devices. David says while search has driven the market over the past five years, now display is the push, search is the pull. With new targeting technologies, you can target what people have searched on. Brian says display is important because display is merging with search, now called performance-based display. Many companies are not spending many dollars online. But companies like Google that are providing the technology and the data and combine it with brand dollars willing to be spent is the next wave in advertising. The biggest growth in online advertising will come from this hybrid display model.
