There’s nothing wrong with being different. In fact, standing out from the crowd is the best way to build your business. This week Andrew Lock, our small business marketing guru and all-around expert at being different, looks at marketing strategies employed by Norwegian Cruise Lines…and talks about how you can adapt the basic principles into your small business.




I’m away this week, so I’ve dusted off one of my favorite shows from the archives, for you to enjoy again. That’s called “re-purposing” (a marketing lesson) and since it’s more than 18 months since this episode first aired, I hope you’ll enjoy it with fresh eyes!

The show revolves around a NCL cruise, and there’s lots of marketing lessons along the way that you can use in your small business.

As usual, let me know your opinion about the topics covered in the show this week – leave your comment below, it’s really easy to do.
