It’s Friday – Let’s brag!

By Small Biz Survival

UPDATED with new Brags below!

Oh my gosh, it’s Friday, so here’s the brag basket! Your weekly chance to share something terrific with the world (or at least a small and understanding community of small biz people).

Post a comment and brag about your small business, your community, your volunteer efforts, or anything! Tell us, and we’ll applaud.

You can even take a banana, if you want. Thanks to our friend BJ who donated the bananas graphic.

Not feeling bananas? You are welcome to take the more sedate version of our logo.

The Brag Basket is always open! We may start on Friday, but you can feel free to brag any time. So, jump in!

And, speaking of community, consider joining ours at MyBlogLog. See that Recent Readers box in the sidebar? I’d love to see your pic there! Thanks to Chris Cree for the idea.

Today is a farm brag: with help from my nephew, we got a stray calf back from the neighbor’s wheat pasture. Those of you with livestock understand why this is worthy of a brag!

We have launched the only fully automated, small business mobile marketing system in the U.S.

Businesses no longer have to hire expensive marketing agencies to do mobile marketing campaigns.

Thanks for bragging! The Brag Basket is all about people, so tell us more about you: your name, where you are located. We like to get to know people as well as support your company.

So, add to this; tell us more! :)

Hi,

We are setting up a tourism initiative in the Ischia island in near the Naples, Italy.The idea is to offer a package of self catering solutions, since the island is not that much developed and in vouge like majorca, it has lots of potentials.

please give our site a view

Thanks, Masoud! A terrific new media project to promote your “small town”!

You have a great idea, and I wish you the best with developing!

    Bit of a big brag for my company, Oprius Software. Last night we launched Email! So now all your emails are automatically linked up with everyone in your address book. We also have a list mailer to send out newsletters or any other time you want to send an email to a large group or list of people. And the ability to use your current email address in our system.

    The best part is that our company is located in Canada. So in the last week before the deadline, we got hit with a major snow storm. Through power and Internet outages we still met our Nov 30th deadline!
