Ever think, "Geez, I wish I'd thought of that!"? Well, today's guest thought of it. Acted on it. And is now making money from it. "It" being Gripsox. Yeah ... socks with grip! In 2005 physiotherapist Luke Goodwin launched GripSox; which are now sold globally. Listen in as Luke shares how he got them to market, and how Gripsox success is now demanding that he stops being a physio and focus 100% on making the world that much grippier (is that a word?!). I also share a great Twitter case study, where Smart Car turned a negative in to a big positive and got a whole lot of free media coverage as a result. Let's go!

I don’t know about you, but I download a lot of apps. I get excited at the time, but then forget to use them. Today’s guest, Christian Mischler of Hotel Quickly has created a very disruptive app in an industry that is ripe for some good old-fashioned disruption. Hotel Quickly assists you in getting a last minute hotel booking – in fact, you can only get a room on it for the coming 48-hours. Now that’s disruptive! The post 240 – Hotel Quickly is a disruptive app that’s challenging a market that has become way too complacent appeared first on Small Business Big Marketing.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/marketingpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I used 11-minutes of my 15-minutes of fame recently when appearing on Sky Channel's Business Success program. And I absolutely loved it. It was not only good to be on the other side of the microphone, but I must say live TV was as fun and exciting as I had hoped it would be. Enjoy!

Picture this. You’re out at the clothes line hanging your wife’s little black dress, when suddenly you’re struck by an idea. No, not to put her dress on, but to add a hook to the peg.

Cubicle escapee (well, more airplane escapee) Jason Stephenson of Relax Me Online left his full time job at Virgin Airlines to produce and sell his own guided meditations on eBay.

Steve Sims of LA-based concierge business, Bluefish, has a wonderfully unconventional approach to his marketing. You'd think that a bloke who organises outrageously expensive fantasies and adventures for his 4,000 well-healed clients would spend a fortune promoting his business. Anything but! Listen is as Steve explains an unbelievably simple referral marketing idea, another one that guarantees an almost 100% open rate, and another one that ensures you get past the dobermans to the decision-maker every time.
