Pop-culture connects. It is about shared experiences and memories. It's a GREAT way to spice up a business-blog and readers LOVE it! From Elvis to the Beatles, from Ghandi to Watergate, from Warhol to '67 Chevys, get it in your blog!

Hi Yoni,

Yes the concert was in Australia and he toured a number of times. I just put another up and may do another tomorrow, will see how the creative juices flow.

Pop culture references are definitely a favorite of mine in business stuff I read. Also tips and business ideas framed in a unique way. It's funny how a different analogy can make you think of an old idea in a whole new way.

Shawn,

Analogies and reframing are hugely important in marketing, the reason why your article from yesterday was so incredible; the produce stand worked to a "T!"

Hi Yoni,

Using references such as pop culture can make the story much more interesting. You are so right that it does connect us. When you mentioned piano man I was able to quickly go back and remember the feeling of being at one of Billy Joel's concerts.

One thing I would perhaps add is different generations can have different references that they relate to. I guess it is all about understanding what appeals to your readers.

Great post as usual Yoni.

Susan,

Thanks for your kind comments and feedback!

Sounds great a Billy Joel concert! I never made it to one myself. Was it in Australia?

You are right about the reference points; I was so busy thining cross0cultural that I really paid no attention to the generational issue. Great point!

Are you doing a third post this week? I'm not. No more energy.

All the best to you and I'll keep looking out for your next great article!
