Copyright 2006 Joel Sussman
The key to attracting new customers to your business, whether online or off, lies in understanding a few simple things about how the brain works.

6). Business Marketing Strategy
What is it and who needs one?
The term business marketing strategy might sound like it is esoteric or stratospheric, so let’s take the mystery out of it so you can devise and implement your own business marketing strategy that fits in to your small business plan.
Strategy comes from a Greek word “stratagein” meaning “to be a general”. Think of a strategy as an overall plan of action needed to win a war.

9). Postcards – Picture Perfect Promotion
There is a simple but almost mystical law which governs promotion and marketing and their relationship to the amount of business generated: business will come in to the degree that you get your message out, promote, let people know you are there, advertise, write to people, call people, e-mail people and generally communicate to existing or potential clients.

What do successful cataloguers do when they market?
There is a secret, or so it seems, in the catalogue industry that has not gotten out of the bag yet. Why is it a secret? It is probably not intended to be that way, but it just happens to remain a ‘little-known datum’. So, what’s the secret, you ask!?!?

14). Does Your Marketing Plan Need Changing?
Change is good, right? Not always. But when is it bad? Is it a question of good or bad? Sounds philosophical. Maybe it is.
Philosophize on this…why would one take something that is going good – no.. great – and change it? Obvious answer is to make it better. Not!
In business or in marketing, change is not always good. When you have certain promotional actions that are in place making things happen, or in better terms, making you money – don’t change them! Why do I say this? Because I see it time and time again.

Remember: You can't put up a terrific web site on-line and “hope” that people will just arrive. You have to let your prospects know, IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY, that your web site is there.
