Review:
Easy to read and I appreciate the summaries that accompany each chapter. Most insights are not new to me, but it did reaffirm some information I have already discovered on the internet.
But some of my keynotes and thoughts:
Marketing and Strategy:
• Although Porter’s generic strategies is not a new concept, taking the time to adopt a strategy gave me new mindset on how to approach my brand. Focusing on ‘differentiation’ (opposed to cost leadership or focus), I want to develop a feeling and identity with my brand. I have already started working on more content that goes behind the meaning of @heybabeapparel!
• SEO makes sure your page/website is found and helps creating ‘authority’ so google deems your site as trustworthy.
• Associate your pages/content with key phrases using ‘Google Keyword Planner’.
• Website analytics: http://google.com/analytics.
Social Media:
• Pinterest and YouTube unlike are other social medias are search engines. So, people are looking for specific content. These are two social medias I am looking to use in the future.
• Email marketing’s return on investment (ROI) is ~40x.
• “Social media is isn’t really about you, it’s about your audience.”
• “Blogs are considered the single most important inbound tool for marketing.”
• Resource for building a website/blog: http://wordpress.org. I have seen this mentioned on several places, so I am thinking of using this if I build my own website/blog.
Public Relations:
• Public Relations is about the messaging and reputation of the company.
• “PR means telling the truth and working ethically – even when all the media wants is headlines and all the public wants is scapegoats. Public relations fails where there is no integrity.”

The book information can be covered by 3 articles, and the information in the book is already all over the internet, it is the very basic of a theory, there is no strategy, no technical information, not facts or numbers.
