Is your digital world cluttered and chaotic? Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us! Clean up your act with our digital spring cleaning checklist - trust us, this is going to really spark some joy. ✨ Here are five steps to tidying up your tech: 1. Start small: (one simple thing even the worst digital hoarders can do) restart your phone and computer. Helps with lag, clears caches, helps prevent crashing. I try to do this once a month, experts recommend doing this once a week, but if you haven't done this since before Tik Tok was a thing, give it a try. 2. Install updates. Manual updates may soon become a thing of the past as more and more updates are becoming automated (like apps on your iPhone), but in the meantime, it's a good idea to check to see that you're running on the latest OS and that the software you use regularly is up-to-date (for me this means the Microsoft Office suite, Google Chrome and Adobe products). 3. Get your head (and images) in the cloud! Your phone storage will thank you. There's a lot of options now (iCloud, Dropbox, Amazon Photos, etc.) but we recommend using one with robust searching capabilities like Google Photos to help you sift through your favorite moments. 4. Go big: start anew by GOING TAB ZERO. If the concept of Inbox Zero intrigues but scares you, here's a way to test the waters. Take inventory of all the tabs you have open on your computer (and phone!). Take action, save important ones as a bookmark or just go for it and wipe the slate clean. If you love something, set it free. 5. Bring your digital clean sweep into the physical world: trade in your old devices. If you have phones or tablets lying around and don't have a burning desire to become an eBay/Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace seller, consider donating and supporting your favorite charities. (Second Wave Recycling or Cell Phones for Soldiers) or making a little cash by trading in at an ecoATM. #QLCSpotlight #QLCViews #LetsGetSocial #DigitalMarketing #FoodIngredientMarketing #DigitalCleanUp #DigitalSpringCleaning #SpringCleaning #MarieKondo

Cheers to another QLC tradition kept virtually!🍀 St. Patrick's Day is one of our favorite office holidays and every year, we make a point to take a break and drink Irish Coffee together. Spending another March working from home, we decided it was time for a virtual happy hour to mark this festive tradition. We didn't realize how much we missed each other until we saw our smiling faces, shared about our favorite beverages and caught up on life. This is your reminder to not forget to turn on your video camera once in a while! We need each other. #StPatricksDay #WorkingFromHome #RemoteWork #AgencyLife #QLCCulture #WFHLife #WorkingFromHomeLife #WorkLifeBalance #IrishCoffeeBreak #AgencyCulture #VirtualOfficeCulture #B2BMarketers #FoodMarketing

A successful communications plan goes beyond a catchy slogan or visually stunning advertising campaign. Truly partnering with your trade media is essential to an impactful strategy that builds your brand. Here are five things your media partner wants you to know: 1. Publications can’t exist without your support. It’s a symbiotic relationship. News reporting is subsidized by advertising. (So, your support is very much appreciated.) 2. What is newsworthy to you may not be to them. Editors know you have news that’s important to you and appreciate when you share it. Unfortunately, although they try, it can’t always be used. 3. Deadlines matter. Deadlines—whether editorial or advertising—are important. Please respect them. 4. Publications are always changing. Meet with your media sales rep annually—find out what’s new and how they can help you meet your marketing needs. 5. Keep the publication’s audience in mind. Trusted trade publications are news and information outlets written for the benefit of industry readers—not promotional vehicles for advertisers. ✨BONUS✨ Print media is not dead—especially for the B2B food industry. Readers report more focus, connection and engagement with print magazines than digital ones. #B2BAdvertising #B2BMarketing #Foodservice #FoodserviceMarketing #QLCViews #B2B #DigitalMarketing #FoodIngredientMarketing #PublicRelations #industryrelations
