Buck on Business


Dear Viewers,

I've profiled a St.Louis couple who are marketing Avocados from Mexico, Chile and the Dominican. The Ultimate Avocado was an ultimate leap of faith for them as he left his corporate job behind and is applying all he knows into the marketing and branding of their new venture.

I'm also working on a story about a landscaper with a conscience. He's part of a nationwide organization that helps people, primarily women, with their lawns while their loved one serves in Iraq. It's the everyday stuff a lot of people need help with when a husband, wife, brother or father go to war!

My next story is about an advertising and marketing company that concentrates on implementing creative solutions in a fun way. Even the title, "Sandbox Creative" comes from watching children having fun in sandboxes.
I'll have more later.
Keep the ideas rolling in!
Christine

Hi Christine,

I'm Marilyn "The Barcode Lady". I do something really intereting. I create short run barcode labels for so businesses can compete on a large scale with big companines.

Some people use the short runs for test marketing their products in stores such as Walmart and Schnucks.

We have one customer who is marketing a greeting card that you plant that turns into a flower... very cool.

Another is a mom who is marketing puzzles in a really cute canister.

We are small woman owned & operated business located in Kirkwood for the past 35+ years.

I hope you find this to be of interst to your viewers. It is making an impact on the distribution and manufacturing of small business proudcts.

I would be happy to meet with you.

Sincerely Yours,

Marilyn Elkin

Christine, I'm looking forward to the story on the avocados! :) When is it airing? Are you going to publish the articles on your blog as well?

Cheers,
Jami

Jim Malen:

I have owned a unique photography business in Creve Couer called Apple Studio for over twenty-three years. Most of our clients are working mothers whose photographic images from Apple Studio make them look better than the models in women’s magazines. We create tasteful, soft, portraits of women in a relaxed, comfortable environment. Our portraits show a woman’s personality and style in a way that is treasured by her man and raises the self-esteem of the woman. Your viewers will be very interested in a gift for the guy who has everything that also can make women feel better about themselves and enhance their relationship.

A picture is worth a thousand words. You don’t have time to read a thousand words. Call me at 314-503-6161. I will bring over a portfolio book so you can see for yourself.
