Basic Marketing Elements
As I continue to develop the marketing strategy for both the travel agency and SoKy.net, I'm continually reminded of some basic marketing elements. A blog that I read is called "Better local Marketing." I found it at the Small Business Trends website has grown from a BlogSpot blogger to a syndicated blogger, I'm not really sure what that means but it seems really cool.
The basics that I continue to return to were touched on in this blog. I agree and hope to expand on these.
Here are some of these recurring themes:
o You need to prospect every day.
o Talk to the right people.
o Help other people get what they want.
o Be polite but be persistent.
o Listen and learn.
o Business is all about people and relationships.
o Keep in touch. Find fun ways to follow-up.
o Have a good reason to talk to people.
o Stay focused.
