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.

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. The market is more sophisticated both in terms of what can be supplied but also in the expectations of purchasers. But what can business gifts do to improve the success of a marketing campaign? Well there are three fundamental things to consider when choosing a promotional gift; your company, your promotional campaign, and your target audience. 1) Your Company Any marketing campaign must be appropriate to your company, reflecting what it stands for and projecting its values.

5 Things New Graduates Should Do To Plan Their Careers

Today’s graduates start their job search with a belief that they should enter their company or industry of choice immediately after graduation. At least that’s what we’ve observed in our experience advising thousands of college students over the years on how to launch their careers. Research has shown that younger millennials and older Gen Zers – that is, those born between 1990 and 1998 – are motivated by roles that are meaningful and where they can be given responsibility quickly. They tend to change jobs often and are looking for ways to move up the ladder and increase their salary at a faster pace than other generations currently in the workforce. From what we’ve observed, they are instructed by their parents and career advisers to look for opportunities that align with their passion...

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, 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. ...

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...
