@kempmarketing.bsky.socialRemember reading The Tell-Tale Heart and becoming very aware of your own heartbeat?
Come see Arts in McNairy’s production of Poe: Dreams of Madness at The Latta Theater Oct. 23-25 to relive it.
Dark. Clever. A little unsettling. Just what October needs.
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialWonder where the name “soap opera” came from?
Early radio and TV series were often sponsored by soap companies. Brands weren’t just buying ads. They provided entertainment that kept people coming back.
Content marketing before we called it content marketing.
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialToday, we’re celebrating Jessica Huff, Executive Director of the McNairy County Chamber of Commerce.
She spends countless hours supporting local businesses, organizing events and festivals, and creating opportunities that bring people together.
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialIf your last post is ancient, your Google hours are wrong, or your website is gathering dust, customers may wonder if you’re still around.
You don’t have to post daily. Just show signs of life.
Ghosts are fine for Halloween, not your marketing.
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialWant to visit the Eiffel Tower without leaving West Tennessee?
Paris has a 60-foot replica that started as a student-built project for Memphis in May before finding its permanent home in Eiffel Tower Park.
Quirky landmark, local art, no passport required.
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialOur own Cameron Kemp will be at Camp TLR Vintage Market at The Lost Reserve this Saturday, Oct. 10, from 10 to 5!
Shop vintage clothing, goods, art, and more, then stop by Cameron’s booth for prints and originals.
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialBusinesses once put their names on playing cards, knowing a good deck could stick around for years.
Every game put that business in front of someone again. Pretty smart: put your name on something people enjoy using and give it a reason to stick around.
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialFormer teacher Jeri Carter traded the classroom for mead making, crafting wine from local honey at Queen’s Reward Meadery.
Stop in for tastings, slushies, charcuterie, and wines made right on-site.
Teacher to mead maker? That’s one interesting second chapter.
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialIt’s spooky season, but doing business with you shouldn’t be a mystery.
If customers keep asking about pricing, appointments, service areas, or next steps, put those answers where they can find them.
Save the mystery for Halloween, not your customer experience.
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialOctober is Fire Prevention Month, and Tier 1 Fire Protection in Brownsville helps businesses protect their people and property while staying compliant.
From inspections and monitoring to repairs and installations, they help take the guesswork out of fire protection.
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialKnights, artisans, costumes, and medieval combat? Fall road trip!
The Alabama Renaissance Faire celebrates 40 years Oct. 24-25 at Wilson Park in Florence with 80+ artisans, demonstrators, and more.
Plus, admission and street parking are free.
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialBefore social media, packaging did a lot of the marketing.
Colors, labels, lettering, and mascots helped products stick in your memory.
The same lesson works today. Good branding makes your business easier to recognize and remember.
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialThis week, we’re spotlighting Justine Watt of The Hidden Gem in Medina.
In 2021, Justine and her family gave an old school tied to their own family history a new purpose.
Today, its event spaces give people a place to gather, celebrate, and make new memories.
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialFall is a good time to give your marketing a quick once-over. Check your hours, photos, and events.

Denton Grange in Bradford is hosting a Pop-Up Market October 10 from 10am to 3pm.
Shop handmade goods, clothing, accessories, plants, fall decor, and more. Mark your calendar!
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialBefore Google Maps, businesses had to catch your eye from the street. Neon signs did the job.
The best became more than directions. They became part of the brand, and sometimes landmarks themselves.
What neon sign do you remember?
@kempmarketing.bsky.socialThis week’s spotlight is close to home: Holly Smith Redmon of Redmon Picklery & Provisions, and Brandy’s kid sister.
From pickles and sourdough to dilly dirt balls, Holly proves a little creativity can make one delicious small business.
