It’s Only Common Sense: Marketing Isn’t Fluff, It’s Ammunition
11/03/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseI’ve lost count of the times I’ve heard someone dismiss marketing as “fluff.” You know the tone: a little smirk, a little condescension, and the implication that “real companies” don’t need marketing. They say, “We make a great product. Our work speaks for itself.”
It’s Only Common Sense: Your Biggest Competitor Is Complacency
10/27/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseIf I had a nickel for every time I heard, “That’s how we’ve always done it,” I’d own a PCB factory on every continent.

Too many companies hide behind their ISO certificates, ITAR registrations, and shiny badges of compliance as if those are supposed to impress customers, but certifications are table stakes. Everyone has them. If you think that’s your differentiator, you’re already in the grave; you just don’t know it.
