Standing for Happy: Soda Pop Stop in LA

View Comments

Awe­some Video of John Nese, owner of Soda Pop Stop in LA. Best part is when he says “It’s rally bub­bled water. If I was to define it in one word it would be happy…maybe smile.” He gets mar­ket­ing and he’s com­pletely authen­tic. He con­fi­dently says that the key is to “set your­self apart by pro­vid­ing your cus­tomers with some­thing that no one else has.”

He’s got an opin­ion AND a spine. He rants on every­thing from Corn Syrup, Energy Drinks and Big Busi­ness. That’s what really sets him apart.

Social media strategy: Resume Brilliance

View Comments

In case you don’t appre­ci­ate the ensu­ing hilar­ity, let me share a few points with you:

I con­sider this page a per­fect attempt at social media mar­ket­ing. It will find it’s way to the right audi­ences, and they will (see?) shared it.

I found it because I fol­low Jere­miah Owyang on Twit­ter and he tweeted it recently. I started a post on it and noticed the draft today. As of this moment, jowyang also has 37,594 other fol­low­ers. Some of them as influ­en­tial as me!

It offers some­thing use­ful to those who take the time to read it–a laugh.

It’s conversation-worthy.

It’s niche focussed–you either get or you don’t. This can also act as a good fil­ter sav­ing Mr. Stokes from hav­ing to talk to peo­ple who won’t appre­ci­ate what he offers.

And it worked on me–I fol­lowed the link to the new port­fo­lio site.

N-joy:

Noah Stokes.

Who says social media isn’t use­ful?
This fun lit­tle script helps turn your lim­ited larder into meal–either add twit­ter or use the site:

if you’re on Twit­ter, you can talk to Twecipe like this: “@twecipe broc­coli, car­rots, beef” and you’ll get a response like this: “Try Beef and Veg­etable Pie http://​twecipe​.com/_kaw”. If you’re not on Twit­ter, you can use the site. And that’s it! A quick and handy way to get quick and handy recipes.”
