Blo’s concept is simple. For around 30 dollars and in about 30 minutes, you have a blow out style. No cuts, no color, just WASH. BLOW. GO. And that is precisely what makes this styling blow dry bar a hit with several locations in Vancouver and Toronto. As a brand they deliver on their promise and that is key.
The other area they are extremely crafty in is marketing. If there is a term where the word “Blo” fits, they are using it. And not just the obvious too. For their blog, just the simple addition of a hyphen gives them the best blog name ever: BLO-G. They are consistent with their messaging, know their target market, and aren’t afraid to use the boldness of their main brand identity color – hot pink!
Take a minute and peruse their website, or better yet, take 30 minutes and get yourself a “do” to spice things up…as they like to say, “You’re not cheating on your hairdresser!“

Jing by Tech Smith is a free software that allows you to add visuals to your online conversations. Instead of writing a plain old email, use Jing to do screen captures of what you see, or better yet do a screencast where you can record what you are seeing and doing on screen, as well as narrate the whole process at the same time. Jing then provides you with a link that you can put into your email message…and you’ve just made email a heck of a lot more interesting!
We use it all the time and have found that it really connects us with our clients because Jing’s minimal feature set keeps the focus on instant sharing. Try it once, and you’ll be hooked…guaranteed!
What do we use Jing for?
We use Jing to send Visual eVoicemails, to give client or supplier feedback, to present proposals, we even use it to sing Happy Birthday to clients, friends and family.
