In today’s show of Words with Friends, we interview Jimmy Mackin, CEO, Curaytor. Jimmy provides marketing services in the real estate space.

The word that we have chosen to talk about in today’s show is “marketing”.

We start this show by attempting to define “marketing” – an often misunderstood word. Is the purpose of marketing to grab attention? And should a marketing campaign always result in an increase in revenues?

The next segment of the show will be particularly interesting as we discuss how you figure out a winning marketing angle and then correctly position yourself. To do so, you can either focus on the competitor’s weakness or attempt to carve out an entirely new niche in the market. So, which is the best approach for you and why? We cite relevant and real-world examples here to make our case.

Additionally, when it comes to positioning yourself can be better, cheaper, or more convenient. We specifically discuss how you can come out with a better product and then highlight the benefits using strategic marketing techniques.

After hearing this show, you will realize why even a great business with great service can go nowhere WITHOUT great marketing.

We hope you enjoy this show!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
