You may have already seen the Pop-Up Bow package design that I did several years ago. Well, I wish I had designed this UBER-COOL Pop-Up Bow Snow Globe in an Envelope!! It is VERY unique and you’ve got to see the video to get the full effect! You won’t believe it and you can get one for yourself very inexpensively! You can also click the photo here to link to the video.

THINK-TANK recently introduced its BestBizBuzz.TV service to assist local companies that don’t yet have a video on their web site. It uses an innovative iPad HD mobile video studio as seen here. It includes an Ultra Wide-Angle Lens, battery-powered LED interview light and Bluetooth wireless microphones for the ultimate in portable video recording. In testing, it appears to also be an EXCELLENT real estate video tool as seen HERE in a listing for Donna Bolin.

If you are a small biz (or even big biz) owner, you already realize that video on the web is CRITICAL for effectively marketing your business!

Testimonials, product demonstrations, training, personnel profiles, and so forth are ALL dramatically more compelling and engaging with video!

So, do you have even one video on your web site? 

If not, let us help you with that for FREE! So, “What’s the catch?” Well, NONE!

THINK-TANK, one of Wichita’s most innovative and non-traditional marketing firms, just does things differently. It’s founder, Robert “GRIFF” Griffith, promotes a “pay-it-forward” approach to marketing. So, to get your biz exposed to the power of video on the web and share the value of its marketing strategies, THINK-TANK is providing its BestBizBuzz.TV service for FREE.

You’ll get one video either profiling your business, videotaping a testimonial, featuring a special event that you will be hosting, capturing an award that you are receiving or whatever you wish (within reason, of course…discuss details at first visit). 

Once the video is shot and edited and encoded for the web, THINK-TANK will even help you get it posted on your web site and/or featured on your social media sites such as your Business Facebook Page.

All of this is done to fulfill THINK-TANK’s mission to provide Unique Marketing Ideas to Set You Apart(sm).

Over the years, I’ve been a real estate broker and worked with many since then as a marketing strategist at THINK-TANK. Suffice to say that most real estate in Wichita, Kansas isn’t in the stratosphere price range! But, I was still intrigued with the marketing innovation that went into marketing a Malibu mansion. Click the graphic to see for yourself. Pretty cool. I don’t know if it’s sold yet or not, but I applaud the strategy!

There’s no doubt that TEDTalks have brought innovation, exploration, science, art, technology and the joy of learning to the world…for FREE. Well, their new concept, TED-Ed “flip,” ratchets the notion of interactive teaching and learning (for both professional educators as well as the rest of us) to a new high. Check out this introductory video to see if you might be able to use it for your next lesson, presentation or report.

Even though the “new” iPad has been released for just a few weeks now, there is a video that seems to demonstrate the potential for new “flex” displays. Obviously, what is shown appears to be an imaginative “made-to-look-real” demo, but the potential for innovation appears to be coming sooner rather than later. See what you think by watching the video. Click the graphic to see what it’s all about.

While you can rest assured that the iPad 3 or iPad HD (we’re not sure what the name will be for another 2 days now) is NOT the one shown in this concept video, it does offer a glimpse at what VERY COOL future technologies might offer. Take a look and judge for yourself.

If you look around the THINK-TANK site for just a few minutes, you’ll see that we are all about “Unique Marketing Ideas to Set You Apart(sm).”

We have long advocated the use of resumés that break the mold of boring and “me-tooism (is that a word?).”

Now, a new firm is specializing in designing head-snapping resumés with some cool-looking designs. If you are wanting to stand out in the crowded job seeking marketplace, you should see what they offer HERE.

As a real estate broker for nearly 25 years and with MANY real estate clients who have used THINK-TANK over the years to assist them with branding and marketing consultation, I have also been a fan of Apple for a long time. At the time the iPad was first introduced, I was fascinated with the potential for real estate agents who are more mobile than ever before and not so tied to their offices. After all, agents make their livings being out in the field with prospects. Was this idle speculation or is it coming to fruition?

Apple just profiled a “boutique” real estate firm in Austin, Texas which has embraced the concept full bore. See the details and watch the video HERE.

I’m not really into model trains or creating Lego models. But, this WORKING model airport completely blew me away!!

My guess is that just about ANYONE (regardless of age) would appreciate the design and “construction” talent that went into this project! Check out the video HERE.
