Planning Our Trip West

LobsterpicSometimes, ya gotta go with the blogger.

In planning our trip to California later next week, I was looking forward to a drive down to the Monterey Peninsula for some great food. I grew up in Monterey, and worked at some of the better restaurants when I was young, so I’m looking forward to the visit.

Thanks to Brian Brown’s Pajama Market, I’ve been introduced to Cima Collina’s blog and a list of restaurant’s where their product is served. Looks like the winner for Friday’s feast is Fandango’s in Pacific Grove – right up the street from my dad’s hangout.

Think blogs extend reach?  I’ll let the folks at Fandango’s know how I came to choose their restaurant over some others near Lover’s Point. Who knows, maybe we could get Annette Hoff of Cima Collina to join us.

If you’re a small business blogger, Brian’s Pajama Market is a great source for examples of business blogs and also interviews with the bloggers.

Find Your Social Media ROI

I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.

    Hi Mike,
    Glad to hear you chose Fandango’s in order to try our wine! What a nice compliment. I hope you have a nice dinner and I would love to join you but will be pouring wine at the South Valley Wine Auction in Morgan Hill (www.svwineauction.org) that night. Hope you enjoy your stay in your hometown — if you would like to come by the winery in Marina and taste some wine, let us know. Cheers!

    I think your points are valid but not comprehensive enough. I would love to see an expanded version of this article.
