A Celebrate Chopper


Last night my husband and I were watching an episode of American Choppers: Junior vs. Senior. I'm definately taking Paul Jr.'s side these days, but I think that might be due to the slant of the producers...but I digress. While we were watching yet another "branded" bike being unveiled, my husband says, "I think you need to do a Celebrate chopper." When I was nine I had a traumatic "moped incident" and have been leary of motorcycles ever since. Mind you most motorcycle enthusiasts wouldn't put the moped in the same category! In any case, I don't think this is a good product placement for me. But it did get me thinking. If I were to do product/service placement where would it be? As business owners we have many opportunities to sponsor events, buy advertisements, brand products, etc. Some to benefit a good cause and others for promotion--covering all price points.

Celebrate's ideal client is an active entrepreneur or business owner of a mid sized company, in the greater Boston area, usually between the ages of 40-60 and preferably good natured with a sense of humor. So the question is, where are they and what are they watching? I could probably rule out The Bachelor! Two do come to mind. On a grand scale I could become the "Official Marketing and Event Planning Company of the Boston Red Sox" or I could offer my event planning services to a This Old House unveiling.

Any other suggestions? What about your company?

Go Big or Go Home

In the world of reality television I am an avid follower of culinary and design competition shows with a side of Amazing Race. As I've been catching up on my recorded shows over the holiday break one phrase keeps coming up. Go Big or Go Home. On Cake Boss: The Next Great Baker that means creating a cake that exceeds the 36" height requirement and including pyrotechnics, but what does it mean to you and your business? As you kick off the new year and put your goals down on paper where can you "Go Big or Go Home"? I would love to hear what you come up with and I'll let you know where and how I apply this to Celebrate in 2011.

Happy New Year!
