Pushing Snowballs is a community devoted to helping design firms, advertising/marketing agencies, architects, and other creative businesses find the most effective and efficient ways to promote themselves and get more – and more profitable – work.
Why Pushing Snowballs?
When people talk about something “snowballing,” they are typically thinking about a snowball rolling down a hill. Once you get it going you just step back and watch it get bigger as it rolls along. And marketing creative services is a little like that. The longer you stay with it, the bigger it gets.
Unfortunately, the people who tell you it’s going to take off on its own probably haven’t actually done it, because this snowball isn’t going down a hill. It’s on flat ground on the best days, and sometimes it seems like it’s actually going uphill. So the bigger it gets, the more you have to push.
Pushing Snowballs is dedicated to sharing information that will help you push smarter, not harder, by focusing your efforts and using a combination of new technology and proven marketing tactics.
