That's a tough topic for two pages! I've written a three-part article that scratches the surface of this topic. It's geared toward real estate agents and brokers, but the concepts would be applicable to most business websites. Take a peek at these articles at the source URLs below.\n\nI have other articles that address issues like selection of domain names, site submissions, the importance of the local search in success, protecting your intellectual property and website content, etc.\n\nInternet marketing isn't a simple "2-page summary" type of process, unfortunately. But, these resources may help provide you a place to start.\n\nI hope this helps!

Okay well, there is a book that I have recently read to get ideas for promoting my own webshop (I go live in June 2006).  It's called "Marketing without Megabucks" by Shel Horowitz. I got my copy on Amazon.com for 4 dollars.  I have put a link to the book as well as his frugal marketing website.  Sift through his archives as well, tons of great ideas for free and low cost marketing.\n\nA marketing method that "DirtBag" clothing used, they called on Independant Record Labels and offered to let bands wear their gear (IF they wore it on stage) for free (now the simply give a huge discount), but it worked.  And all of the fans of these bands of curse simply HAD to have what they were wearing :)\n(the 1st link is of an article about how they advertised when they first started out)\n\nYou should try to get local coverage as well, if you get involved with a charity and create a one page press release you may be able to get local televison, print and radio stations to give you free coverage with a Human Interest Story.  Call and get the names of the assignment editors at the TV stations (they make the decision on what stories get coverage)  You can simpy donate say 5% of sales for 6 months to a local children's hospital or donate some of your items for a local auction benefiting a charity.\n\nVisit the "Business Owners Idea Cafe" listed below, awesome place for home and small business owners.  And if you visit forums and give advice remember to put a link to your website under your name as your signature.\n\nI wish you the best

I'm not sure what a wholeness center is, but there are many ways to promote a small business.  As far as how to go about developing a marketing strategy, it will depend greatly on what kind of business she is engaged in.\n\nIf you would like to e-mail me with some specifics, I would be happy to make some reccommendations.  I assume you're looking for some low-budget ideas, and that's not a problem.  There are more than you might think.

Sure, just let the feasible region describe the number of items you're going to sell, what they weigh, or how long it takes to make them.  None of those things can be negative.  With a little thought you should find dozens of examples.

try marketing it with a fresh band, both the design concept company(the band's album design, motiff..etc.) and the music industry can benefit from it.

The BEST strategy would be Word of mouth. This is the best form of advertising for your business - afterall, it is free.  Customers telling potential customers you are the best in the field. Or influential people endorsing your product for free. The book "Secrets of Word Of Mouth Marketing" is one of the best books to learn how to harness word of mouth, and you can read a summary here http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol154/wordofmouth.htm\n\nSome marketing tips:\n\n1. Direct mail. Prepare a well-crafted brochure and send it to your target markets in Sunnyvale. Find a vendor in your area renting mailing lists of business establishments or take the time and go over the yellow pages and get their contact information. You can read more of how to use direct marketing strategies here http://www.powerhomebiz.com/marketing/direct.htm\n\n2. Publicity. Publicity can oftentimes be more effective than advertising. Not only is it cost-effective (oftentimes you are paying for nothing), but also people are apt to remember an article about your business rather than advertising. People find a write-up or special feature about a business more credible and objective than a paid advertising. Publicity also reaches a wider audience: if you are lucky, the national media might even pick up your story. Contact an editor of your local newspaper and pitch your story. Read the article "Leverage the Power of Publicity for Your Small Business" \nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol27/leverage.htm\n\n3. Press releases. Send out press releases through your local newspapers about your business. Whether it is about your story or about a sale you are offering, press releases can be very good exposure for you. You can read more about how to harness press releases for your business here http://www.powerhomebiz.com/marketing/public%20relations.htm\n\n4. Use the Internet. The Web can be your online brochure. You can use it to refer your potential clients for more information about your business; and it could also generate clients for you directly. Some of your potential clients may be looking to the Web for a floral designer, and you need to have a strong presence there as well.\n\n5. Network. Join and be active in your local business organizations, chamber of commerce, etc. Increase your visibility in the community. You can find more information on networking here http://www.powerhomebiz.com/marketing/networking.htm

it's quite simple really: be yourself and ask "wht would motivate you to be interested in this" In all my years in marketing I have found that the simplest ideas were the most clever and "speak to me" ideas that moved product- the one's that went through a tons of strategy sessions and market research were looking for the pink elephant while sitting all the while on it!

You should purchase books on Branding/Marketing and communication.  Try the 22 Immutable laws by Al Ries.  Great book. PR/Ad and Marketing all tie in together.  But this is a great book to get started with.

Local colleges and university libraries might be good resource for sample business plans within the same or similar business.  Also try locating a SCORE office (Service corp of retired executives) or the SBA.  Try off the beaten path, what about local bars, auditoriums etc.  that book acts -- they might be a good resource.

The first step in identifying your target market is understanding what your products/services have to offer to a group of people or businesses. To do this, identify your product or service's features and benefits. A feature is a characteristic of a product/service that automatically comes with it. \n\nFor example, if a toothpaste has a stain-removing formula, that's a feature. The benefit to the customer, however, is whiter teeth.\nWhile features are valuable and can certainly enhance your product, benefits motivate people to buy. \n\nAn example is anti-lock brakes; they are features on a car, but the benefit to the consumer is safety. \nBy knowing what your product/service has to offer and what will make customers buy, you can begin to identify common characteristics of your potential market. \n\nFor example, there are many different consumers who desire safety as a benefit when purchasing a car. Rather than targeting everyone in their promotional strategy, a car manufacturer may opt to target a specific group of consumers with similar characteristics, such as families with young children. This is an example of market segmentation. \nIn one column, list the features of your product/service. In the other, list the benefits each feature yields to the buyer. \n\nFeatures: Benefits: \nList six of each.\n\nStep Two: Segment Your Overall Market \n\nIt is a natural instinct to want to target as many people and groups as possible. However, by doing this your promotional strategy will never talk specifically to any one group, and you will most likely turn many potential customers off. Your promotional budget will be much more cost effective if you promote to one type of customer and speak directly to them. This allows you to create a highly focused campaign that will directly meet the needs and desires of a specific group. Again, this is called market segmentation. \n\nNow you need to look up market segmwentation.

There is actually no perfect formula for effective marketing strategy, regardless of the business size. However, I suggest that you need to be spontaneous about your marketing efforts. You should also learn the power of viral marketing--- this perhaps, is the most effective and fastest way to market your business. In doing this, you could start marketing your business to your relatives and friends, and ask them a favor to recommend your business to their friends and colleagues. You should also be able to supply your marketing efforts with printed materials like business cards, leaflets, posters, etc. Also, having a website helps too. Try making a simple one and submit your url to search engines and directories. Goodluck!\n\n\nMary\nhttp://onlinepr.gbwatch.com/
