Here is a helpful exercise on how to research and prepare promotional marketing materials to bring the right people to your business. When I do this exercise with my marketing students, we always have a lively conversation that not only sparks solutions but also leaves participants feeling enthused, inspired, even excited about showing up in the marketplace. The themes we explore and the fun we have doing this exercise are so central to an authentic approach to small business marketing that I have decided to highlight them in this article.First, let us stipulate that somewhere in the world there are prospective clients or customers who will fit you and your work "just ri
Remember Murphy's Law: what can go wrong will, and at the worst possible moment. Well, we're going to try to gain some control over events and the best way to gain control is to know what makes things tick ...
The Communication Process
There are four recognised steps in the communications process:
1. The message originates as an idea or concept
2. The sender transmits the message
3. The message is sent
4. The message is received
(Academics get paid thousands of dollars to come up with earth-shattering findings like these!)
As with most things in life, the system can break down at any one of these stages.
The Idea
In marketing, the source is usually a product (or service) concept that the sender wants to tell potential buyers about. The key point at this stage is to be certain that your product is going to meet the needs of your target group.
Some time ago, a manufacturer of cake mixes came up with a mix that he was certain would appeal to busy housewives -- all they had to do was to add water and they could bake a perfect cake every time.

Interestingly enough the majority of people who ask me whether their sales letter is too long have missed the boat somewhat.You see, their mind is focused on the length of their sales letter rather than the job the sales letter has to do, and when they do that it is impossible to write in a manner that will convince the reader to take action and buy their product.No, your main focus when writing a sales letter must be on the job it has to do and that, in a nutshell, is to convince the reader that he or she needs to buy your product.Pay special attention to the word 'need' here. You must focus upon the emotional need of the reader - this could be nothing mor

If it is your aim to move from simply being a manager to being a true leader, you will find out here how to go about it.When you become a 'Leader' your word is your bond - you must know that when you speak, you will fulfill your promise to others and others will know they can depend on you. Think before you speak. Make a habit of under-promising and overdelivering. Always keep your promises. Think about the kind of person you would want to deal with and be that person yourself.Leadership -v- PowerDon't make the mistake of associating supervisory positions, or seats of power, with leadership. This presumes that these two things are synonymous

Today, December 8th is a big day. It's the launch of a new tool that will make a lot of smart people a lot of money.Nothing. Really NOTHING has been this easy earlier in online marketing. Target a niche by just selecting a keyword. Target 100 niches by the end of this weekend by selecting 100 keywords. NO cloaking involved, so you will not be banned (on the contrary, Search engines will love your site and index loads of pages with real content).EVERYTHING is done for you. You select the keyword; this incredible tool creates a whole video site in 11 seconds for you. Every video (targeted to your niche) carries an ad at the end, and when people click it YOU get paid

Well it has AdLand and the Media industry up in arms, together with a host of other Top-Down-Management Corporate names, like Microsoft; AT&T; AOL & Yahoo about various concerns.Frankly in the case of Microsoft it surely must be the case of the pot calling the kettle black! Both Microsoft and AT&T have faced anti-trust charges in the past, with Google Co-founder calling Microsoft "A convicted monopolist".And in creeps that accountant turned Ad Man, Sir Martin Sorrell, "One of the most powerful voices in advertising", which, in my opinion, says a lot about the state of advertising to day.It appears that there is growing concern in AdLand about Google's onl

The cake mix was re-launched, but this time consumers had to add an egg as well as the water. The product sold for the same price, it cost the consumer more to make the finished product, but, it was a runaway success.
MORAL: It doesn't matter how great your idea for a product is, if it doesn't meet the consumers' needs, it won't sell.
The Sender
Very often in advertising, it seems that the message is more important than the product -- beautiful images, clever jingles and flashing lights often have little to do with your product. How many times have you sat through a brilliant piece of advertising, but had no idea what was being advertised?
We all have; the trick is to make sure that your marketing always focuses on your product and how it meets the needs of your target market.
Another problem that can originate with the sender is the use of misleading claims; you just cannot say that your product cures baldness, smoothes wrinkles, eradicates onion weed, gets rid of cockroaches or will make you walk again, if it doesn't. Nor can you imply, by your marketing, that it does this, if it doesn't, because this is false advertising.
At the moment here, there is a case of false advertising against a certain fas
