Shannon Cherry, a Media expert and one of the Co-authors of GET MEDIA SAVVY! has created a special day to help YOU get the word out about your business, your products and services. It is National Be Heard Day. And it is being celebrated on Sunday, March 7th. Here’s what Shannon has to say about it: “What is it that makes you remember one business and not another? Regardless of what they did, they somehow created excitement. They somehow got to your emotions and created a buzz inside of you. They got heard! How can you create excitement for your business?.”
“Well, for one, you must avoid herd (as opposed to heard) mentality. Just because something works for one, does not mean it will necessarily work for another.” … National Be Heard Day is one of the holidays that appears in Chase’s Calendar of Events, has been recognized in New York State, and has gotten amazing media coverage including being featured by the Associated Press. In celebration of National Be Heard Day, Shannon is giving away more than $5,000 worth of marketing tips and tactics for free. That’s right! FREE!

McDonalds had a Monopoly pieces game in the late 1990′s (which ended up hurting McDonalds when it was discovered that several employees of the company making the game pieces were giving the valuable ones to family and friends). Nonprofits and Chambers of Commerce have created their own versions of Monopoly as fundraising events. When I was on the board of the Miramar Pembroke Chamber we hosted a membership drive and the theme was Chamberopoly. We sold the “propery spots” to local businesses as advertising spots.
