Branding Bonanzle: February 2009

Sales & Marketing

Used to be that Sales and Marketing Teams worked together. That was a great concept that worked in the 80s into some of the 90s.

Fortunately and unfortunately, the two have become skewed.

What the sales team didn't know and the marketing team didn't know was that they needed each other. That didn't happen, why? For some reason, egos were involved. When egos are involved the organization suffers. When are people going to realize that it's a real involved team of spirit that enables the successful companies to attain fulfillment of sales and customer satisfaction?

I found that Bonanzle has quite the empowering spirit. No longer is the IT guy denying info to the workers, the sales pro offers up tips, marketing gurus willingly share advice. What is happening?

It's absolutely the way to go. I'm not sure why anyone would not want to buy on Bonanzle, its the next best thing to S'Mores. Remember those. No seriously, it is indeed a comfy and heartfelt site full of love and zing and Mallomars. (well only in season)

The Best is Yet to Come for Bonanzle, but they are enjoying the success which is earned and genuine.

Have you lost your marbles?

Finding marbles isn't that easy unless you came across Sam's Place, where
it's never too late to have a happy childhood. Passionate about glass marbles. Wow! I wish I kept mine. On Bonanzle now!

Toy marbles date back to the dawn of man. The first glass marbles were made in Egypt approx. 2,000bc. There are examples from Greek and Roman times, etc.

The most collected marbles today are 1840-1920, made in Germany and England. They were handmade individually by glass artists.

Americans invented mechanisms to make marbles by machine around 1915. About a dozen companies produced marbles until the Japanese-made cat’s eyes became popular in the late ‘40s. Most American companies closed or changed products.
The main point in collecting anything is rarity, condition and beauty. That said, childrens glass toys meant to be played with by collision makes condition tough.

Today an original intact box of machine mades can bring $18-22,000.
At one time or another, this booth owner had over 100,000 marbles and has been collecting for
around 20 years.
