The Power of Memorable Moments

It was quite a memorable moment when I finished reading a great book, The Power of Moments. What an impact can be made with some simple, implementable tips. Here’s a summary that I hope will inspire you to create memorable moments for your customers, employees, and clients.

What’s a Defining Moment?

We tend to remember the best or worst moment of an experience, as well as the last moment, and forget the rest.
We all have defining moments in our lives – brief, memorable and meaningful experiences that stand out in our memories.
The book outlines four elements that play a role in a memorable moment: Elevation, insight, pride, and connection. All four needn’t be present to create a particularly memorable moment. The book also contains a number of inspiring examples.
A good surprise is one that delights employees, as well as customers. We recently mailed care packages to clients during the COVID-19 crisis, touchpoints they enjoyed receiving, and our team was delighted with the feedback we received.

A bit of attention and energy can transform an ordinary, forgettable moment into an extraordinary one.

Start by thinking about and recognizing some memorable moments in your life. Surely, you have some standouts in your personal and professional interactions. How has a business delighted you? How did someone please or surprise you?

Now, look at your interactions with your team and those you serve. Brainstorm to create touchpoints to wow both. Remember, in marketing, meaningful moments matter; don’t miss a huge opportunity by leaving them to chance.

Don’t Be a Focus Group of One

One valuable method of research is a focus group. While the purposes, processes and information collected varies per project, very generally, a focus group follows along these lines: A small group of specially-chosen people (perhaps 10) is assembled in a conference room to answer questions and have discussion about a company or organization and its products or services (existing or potential). Topics may include how they feel about the brand or a product, what may

Google Launches Domain Name Registration Services

In late June, Google announced that it would begin providing domain name registration services. This doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it will impact the big players like GoDaddy, Network Solutions and 1&1, to name a few. How so? Private registration will be included with the domain name registration fee. Big players currently charge extra for this feature. Google will provide branded email services with their registration fee (yourname@yourcompany.com). Some of the big players
