The Little Haiku Deck That Could
Our Asking Ecommerce Questions Haiku Deck (http://shar.es/1g6S5q ) is becoming the little deck that could. To say these slides are a testimony to the power of fast feedback loops and iteration is an understatement.

With three sets of video notes (more coming soon) and three major changes based on feedback from attendees at conferences where we've been presenting the little deck that could Ask For Help: Asking Key Ecommerce Questions proves another important point - everything is a curated conversation now.

Thus the power of @Scoop.itand thus Google's QDF (Quality Deserves Freshness) demand. When we started this little deck had a few hundred views. Now, thanks to feedback and support from those providing the feedback almost 2,000 people have learned to do the hardest thing in the galaxy (at least for American men) - ASK FOR HELP!

Thanks for all the help we've received creating the little Haiku Deck That Could. Marty

Why Ambassadors Are CSFs
If you don't have an Ambassador Program you need one. Ambassadors are brand advocates who want to JOIN your brand. Remember Faith Popcorn's quote?

People don't BUY brands they JOIN them.

At our marketing tools startup Curagami we are learning why the creation of an Ambassador Program right from the start of a website's life is so critical. This link shares success one of our clients, Moon-Audio.com is having with their Ambassador program.

Can your store be too social? Not so much as it turns out.
