Should College Athletes Be Allowed To Use Their School Brand For Paid Endorsements

John Holden, Oklahoma State University Just days after the NCAA changed it rules in June 2021 to let college athletes seek endorsement deals, a college quarterback in the South announced a sponsorship deal with a beverage company. About the same time, another college football player, a wide receiver in the South, signed an endorsement deal with a national retailer. In both cases, the players wore clothes without university logos in the photographs they posted on their social media as they promoted the companies. Not so with another football player – a quarterback in the Southwest – who got use of a new car from a dealership for standing next to one of the dealership’s cars in a photograph on his social media page. Instead of plain clothes, he wore a polo shirt with his university logo ...

What Role Should Business Gifts Play In A Marketing Campaign?

Business gifts have come a long way over the past couple of decades. Gone are the days when corporate gifts were only rolled out at Christmas and restricted to cork backed coasters and plastic rulers.

For example, don't choose confectionery if you are a health food company - this is an obvious example but reflects ma...

The 3 Stages Of Content Marketing You Should Know

When you think about it, all marketing is content marketing-your sales page, your blog, your website, your message, your emails, your videos, your podcasts-they're all content. So, why do so many coaches (and other solopreneurs) cringe at the thought of having to market their business? • They don't like creating content, or they don't feel confident about it. • They don't feel like they have enough time to create content. • And/or they don't know how to distribute content for maximum efficiency, in the crucial areas of their business. So, successful marketing is all about how well you can produce and distribute content. And many solopreneurs are either not producing enough content to market their business effectively, or they often don't know where that content needs to be put. S...

The Gorgeous Khaneshia ‘KJ’ Smith Is Definitely Someone You Should Keep An Eye On

Born in Tallahassee, Florida, KJ studied Business Marketing at Florida State University. But instead of going into the business world, KJ knew that she was meant for the big screen. KJ later moved to Los Angeles and began her acting career, mostly appearing on comedy shows. Some of her more notable credits include one-off appearances on Conan (2012), All My Children (2011), The Therapist (2013), and The Real Husbands of Hollywood (2013).

Tips From A Tax Scholar – Taxpayers Should Expect Serious Delays From The IRS This Year But Says Only Congress Can Fix The Underlying Problem

No one likes tax season. It’s complicated, it’s stressful, and it’s getting worse. Last year was already the “most challenging year taxpayers and tax professionals have ever experienced,” according to the Taxpayer Advocate Service, an independent part of the Internal Revenue Service. According to the agency’s annual report, taxpayers had trouble reaching the IRS, tax returns took months to process, almost a quarter of refunds didn’t go out until 2022, and collection notices were sent out even after the tax owed was paid. The pandemic deserves some of the blame, but so do years of underfunding the IRS, antiquated computer systems and a dwindling workforce. And with millions of returns from 2021 still waiting to be processed, 2022 may be worse. That prospect has prompted lawmakers and oth...

Lynn T. Kozlowski, University at Buffalo E-cigarettes and other vaping products are on track to out-sell cigarettes by the end of 2023. And more and more young people are trying e-cigarettes. So what do you need to know about them? Are they less harmful than using cigarettes or other burned tobacco products? Mike Mozart, CC BY What are e-cigarettes?

Some look like cigarettes and others can resemble flashlights. The first e-cigarettes were not produced by cigarette companies, but the cigarette companies have gotten into the business. E-cigarette and vaping products are available in specialty st...
