Testimonial from a Client: Oldham Properties
  • Posted By : sstiefel/

  • Under : Marketing

I received the nicest endorsement last week from a former client, Mark Oldham of Oldham Properties. He’s a former client because I no longer employed full-time with the marketing agency through which I performed work for him.

It follows:

Wednesday, August 7, 2019

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is being written on behalf of Steven Stiefel.

Steven handled my various accounts while he was employed with Riverworks Marketing in Chattanooga. We owned 2 inns and 2 restaurants during his tenure there — StoneFort Inn, TerraMae, as well as Dancing Bear Lodge and Appalachian Bistro in Townsend, Tennessee.

Amongst other things, Steve wrote a ton of copy, “word-smithed” many ads, responded to complaints in the most incredibly professional manner (which we still miss to this date), brainstormed ideas, and generally was a fantastic person with whom to deal on all aspects of our marketing.

40 questions for entrepreneurs to ask

The 40 Questions to Ask Before Starting a Business
  • Posted By : sstiefel/
  • 0 comments /
  • Under : Branding

“Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”
– Tony Robbins

Having the information you need to determine whether a new business idea is practical begins with asking the right questions.

Starting a new business often begins with a desire to create something unique that we can control instead of spending the rest of our careers reliant upon someone else making decisions that affect our livelihoods.

The spark, the entrepreneurial fire, begins with an idea and a desire to create something. Maybe it is buying a popular franchise and bringing it to your community before someone else does. Or perhaps it is starting something from scratch and shaping it into whatever you want.

The Crisis Communication Plan Process
  • Posted By : sstiefel/

  • Under : Crisis Communications

Crisis communications planning is all about anticipating the things that keep you awake in the middle of the night. Like the lifeboats on a cruise ship, it’s a tool you may hope you never have to use – but one that can salvage your organization in the toughest of situations.

An unexpected public relations crisis can strike even the best-managed businesses, large or small. These can be recalls of dangerous or contaminated products, a civil product liability lawsuit, or some other unforeseen disaster that may hurt sales, the bottom line, and/or reflect badly on a company’s image.

Your best bet in these instances is to defuse problems and resolve them favorably with an honest, vigorous damage control effort that converts the public into allies and paves the foundation for rebuilding the public perception of your brand. A Crisis Communications Plan lies at the core of such a public relations effort. Stiefel Creative can help you weather the storm.

Let get real for a second.

Redundancy in Marketing

re·dun·dan·cy(/rəˈdəndənsē/) noun – The inclusion of extra components which are not strictly necessary to functioning, in case of failure in other components: “a high degree of redundancy is built into the machinery installation”

The idiom “don’t put all of your eggs in one basket” is critical to the marketing of your brand when it comes to deciding which platforms to use to distribute your messaging.Read More
