What Drives You Crazy About Marketing?

[PaulSimister]

I have discovered a really neat and nifty website that lets you create various forms of interactivity on your website.

It is at www.js-kit.com (http://www.js-kit.com)

I have added a poll to my blog and it would be great if you could pop over and vote please.

What is your biggest frustration when marketing your business?

Is it sending out direct mail letters and waiting for the telephone to ring but it never does?

Is it attracting quality visitors to your website?

My poll has ten categories but I am sure that in my excitement to play with this new toy I have missed out something really obvious so do please let me know.

Just pop over to What is your Biggest Marketing Frustration? (http://businesscoaching.typepad.com/the_business_coaching_blo/2008/07/your-biggest-marketing-frustrations.html) and while you are there, I can recommend my newsletter and you will receive two excellent reports, Marketing Secrets for Small Businesses and How To Win Profitable Business Away From Competitors.

I understand your problem. From what I have seen with several businesses I have started for myself and friends, marketing is the most cumbersome, tiem consuming, and expensive part of starting up or making a business successful. There are a few things you can do. The most important thing though is combing forces with other businesses that share the same customer as you do. You can thumb through the phonebook, do web searches, or by any other means you have to establish simple relationships with these other companies to market your products/services through them. This I have found allows you to find new marketing channels at a very low cost.
In other words, contact these other companies and ask them directly to exchange your promotional materials and website links with them. The results are always great! Oh, try this link. This is a web-based company that has this process down to a science and has always done good by me.
