Let's Be Social This Thanksgiving

Before you post that Happy Thanksgiving message to your thousands of followers, think about what you're saying:

Don't write as if you're addressing a group of nameless faces; write as if you're talking to your friends.

Are You Ready for Black Friday?

Unless you're one of the people who camp in the cold outside malls and shopping plazas for days awaiting Friday's amazing deals, the post-holiday holiday is really a win-win for both consumers and retailers. Savvy shoppers can find super shopportunities, while smart marketers can rake in the revenue.

Are you ready for Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

E-commerce is also a huge component — so if you're selling online, are you ready for Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

IAAPA 2014 Recap

We said our goodbyes to friends new and old we connected with this week. We had our last cups of Dippin' Dots. And we packed up our booth, feeling great that we gave out tons of great advice at our new Expert Bar.

IAAPA 2014 was over and the week felt like it flew by, but it was still as fun and enjoyable as ever!

In talking to a lot of visitors, I found a few common situations:

1) Nearly everyone is engaged in various aspects of digital marketing, whether it's online advertising, social media or SEO.

Talk About Something Amazing

Lots happening on Thursday! The morning started with Jeff and Mark Kupferman from Six Flags giving a fast-paced, informative talk on using analytics more effectively. Slides will be available soon if you missed it!

Venturing Out

IAAPA Day 2 report — lots of reconnecting, plus lots of obligatory Dippin' Dots: 

Yeehaw! It was a fun-filled rodeo at this year's FEC reception — especially thanks to WDD's resident cowgirl Katie:

Off and Running

Yesterday I posted right before the show doors opened — and it truly was the calm before the storm! With a great location this year (and some friendly faces...) the action really was non-stop.

Of course it wouldn't be IAAPA without some great after-show events, and this year's opening gala was no exception:

Now on to day 2!

IAAPA Kickoff!

The IAAPA expo floor is officially open and our new booth looks spectacular!

This year we're going with a new approach by introducing an "expert bar". We're encouraging attendees to stop by and ask us anything (really, anything!) about digital marketing. Whether it's an easy question about website design or some obscure SEO problem, we're there to provide answers. Find us at booth #3813. 

Last night WDD helped celebrate "IAAPA Connects" at the Magic Kingdom, decked out for the holidays:

All the Pieces

I love blogs. Every day I read several — some tech, some news, some from friends — and they're ideal for keeping current with what's going on in the world.

Writing for blogs on the other hand — that's a challenge.

Trying to decide on topics and then actually producing it. Mixing up good information with visuals, not to mention having a 'voice' that's informal but informative and enjoyable. Many blogs start with good intentions but after a while... silence. (We're guilty of that, too.)

Time to change that!
