BEA Data

It’s easy to get lost in numbers and stats. Poring over data doesn’t always yield any great benefit unless your brain is a sponge. When you deduce something from your research, you create something valuable. Share your findings with your audience and they’ll see the value too.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis has all sorts of data for many different topics. Discover something you didn’t know about your locale or learn about changes in consumer spending. Your interpretations lead to insights, and delivering insights is the backbone of thought leadership content.

EOS Webcam Utility

Recordit

A picture is worth a thousand words, and a video will show you dozens of pictures every second. Do the math and you’ll find this amounts to a lot of words. But as video tends to take up lots of space, we find a GIF is a very happy medium.

Recordit is a handy dandy GIF maker for Mac and PC. It works by recording a screencast of a portion of your screen. Then it processes what you’ve captured into an easily shareable GIF. Voila! Use it for simple, sharable demonstrations or how-to visuals.

Net Promoter Score

The NPS calculation is simple, and lies on a scale from 1-10. Promoters (score 9-10) are loyal enthusiasts who will keep buying from you and are most likely to refer others to your business. This metric gives an overall measure of how customers see your brand. Find out just who your own biggest advocates are.
