Good afternoon, Quacksters! We are so thankful to all our Facebook fans for the great support during Tailgating Week last week. We are delighted to donate 100 free “spirit” cups to the West Point, MS Parents in Public School organization for mobilizing the Green Wave fans to support their team on our fan page. You guys are outstanding, and we appreciate the work you do on behalf of the public schools in your area.
I wanted to do a quick post to let our blog readers know about something new we’re beginning on the Fan page. I’ve been participating in various social media Twitter “chats,” getting ideas on how we can use Facebook and Twitter to serve and promote our clients better. We really want to provide more value for the followers and fans who’ve invited us into their cyber space.
As a way of sharing some of the expertise we’ve gleaned in our 30-year marketing adventures, we’ve decided to add a daily marketing tip to our social media offerings. In addition to our great specials, client happenings and general Dux mayhem, we’ll be posting what we call THE DUX DAILY each day on our Facebook page. (You Twitter followers will find it in your stream as well!)
Our goal is for each week’s Dux Daily postings to center around a theme that we’ll expand on in one of our blog posts or Quick Quack ezines as well. We’ll share specific tips you can use as you plan your marketing efforts, whether through design projects, website development, screen printed wearables or promotional products. We’ll also include links to valuable research that will help you know your audience and focus your marketing energies.
We’re still brainstorming ideas for weekly topics, but here are a few of the Dux Daily themes you may see in the coming weeks:
Writing effective press releases
Choosing tee shirt ink colors
Restaurant menu design
Starting a safety program
Writing content for websites
Newspaper design tips
Budget-conscious screen printing
Using fonts wisely
Benefits of blogging
Getting started in social media
Who’s on the internet
Who’s on social media
Effective logos
Creating a logo standards package
We’d love to hear your ideas! What types of Dux Daily tips would you like to see? Send us your comments! Please.
For all those sports fans out there, Dux D’Lux is celebrating Tailgating Week beginning Sept 28. We’ll be sharing great Tailgating promotional product choices, yummy recipes, school fundraising ideas and more on our social media profiles, ezine and blog. The week will culminate in an Online Tailgate Party Facebook event on Friday, Oct 2.

Our new home page features a rotating slideshow showing slices of some of our favorite projects from all four service areas: graphic design, website development, screen printing and promotional products. You will also see an RSS feed of the latest Quack! postings, and maybe a product special or two.
Hey all! Just a quick note this afternoon to say that Dux D’Lux is getting dangerously close to launching the new website. It’s making me feel downright social (and a little itchy.) We’re gearing up for some great online and social media adventures as the summer progresses. I have a lot of hair-brained ideas in the works, so stay tuned. For the latest details, befriend and follow us on our brand-spanking-new profiles and groups. Click on the handy widgets to your left and we’ll see you around the cybersphere.
