you live in the Seattle area, you’ve probably seen a Brown Bear Car Wash. It’s one of the most popular car wash services in the region — and a big part of its success comes from one smart idea: monthly subscription pricing.

 

For a flat monthly fee, customers can wash their car as often as they like. No need to think about it or pay each time. That simple model has turned Brown Bear into a local favorite and a steady business.

 

But this strategy isn’t just for car washes. Subscription models can be applied to many businesses — and more companies should take note.

You send me an email using a Hotmail account.

 

Using free email services like Hotmail, Gmail, or YahooMail for business can send the wrong message to potential customers. Here’s what many people may assume about your business:

 

Negative Perceptions:

 

Unprofessional Image
Using a personal email (like yourname@gmail.com) can make your business seem small, temporary, or even unreliable.

 

Lack of Credibility
Customers may question whether you're a legitimate company. They might wonder: “Why don’t they have their own domain?”

 

Security Concerns
Free email providers may raise concerns about data security and privacy, especially if you're handling sensitive or confidential information.

 

Poor Branding
You're missing a chance to reinforce your brand every time you send an email. A custom domain email (yourname@yourcompany.com) builds recognition and trust.

 

What You Should Do Instead:

 

Get a custom domain and a business-class email service. It shows:

 

You're established and serious.

 

You care about your professional image.

 

You prioritize security and organization.

 

Would you trust a lawyer, consultant, or retailer using @hotmail.com? Probably not. The same applies to your business.

 

Need help setting up a branded email? PSPINC’s Dreamersi Web & Email Hosting provides professional email services with your own domain — affordable and secure.

This morning, I went to the office, and on the way back, I stopped by the hospital for a chest X-ray. This was the final test to confirm whether the suspected pneumonia from early last month was truly resolved.

 

In the afternoon, I received a call from the hospital saying that my lungs are clear and there are no issues. With that, the suspicion of pneumonia has been completely ruled out.

 

I sincerely apologize for any concern I may have caused. So, it turns out the pneumonia scare was a false alarm — and thankfully, it’s all settled now.

The Importance of Storytelling in Marketing — and Why It Works

 

Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in marketing — not just because it’s engaging, but because it connects with people on a human level. Here's why storytelling works so effectively in marketing:

 

1. People Remember Stories, Not Stats

 

Facts and figures can be forgotten quickly. But a well-told story stays with people. When a marketing message is wrapped in a story, it becomes easier to recall and repeat — making your brand more memorable.

 

2. Stories Build Emotional Connections

 

Emotion drives decision-making. A good story can make your audience feel inspired, empathetic, curious, or even nostalgic. These feelings create a bond between your brand and the audience that goes beyond products or services.

 

3. It Makes Your Brand Relatable

 

Rather than just talking about what your company does, storytelling allows you to show why you do it. Sharing challenges, customer journeys, or your brand’s origin story helps people see the human side of your business — making it easier for them to trust you.

 

4. Differentiation in a Crowded Market

 

Many businesses sell similar products or services, but your story is unique. Sharing it helps set you apart from competitors who may only focus on price or features.

 

5. Drives Action

 

When done well, storytelling leads the audience on a journey — with a beginning, middle, and clear call to action at the end. It doesn’t feel like a hard sell, but it motivates people to take the next step.

 

In short:
Storytelling makes your marketing more human, more memorable, and more persuasive. People don’t just buy what you do — they buy why you do it. And the best way to show that "why" is through a story.
