November 26th, 2008 by Jody Gabourie

Marketing consists of longer-term, big marketing strategies and also small, quick tactics.  Marketing should be done daily - but no-one said it has to take hours every day!

Maybe you’re having a “blah” day and don’t feel like doing much?  Pick a handful of these fast and easy marketing tactics, do them and then go read your fiction novel!

  • check out competitor’s websites and see what kinds of products and services they’re offering their clients
  • send a response to a client’s question that was sent in via website, blog, email, phone message, etc.
  • send out an email to your list just to say hi and give them a couple valuable tips or some interesting, helpful links
  • check out different groups on Facebook and Yahoo Groups that you might join
  • call or send an email to a customer who has just purchased something from your website.  Say thank you and ask them if they need any questions answered or anything clarified
  • if you’re offering a teleseminar, give enough advance notice and send reminder emails providing the pertinent details
  • check out a company’s website that you are interested in possibly doing a joint venture with

    OOOOH - accusations of plagiarism. This could get interesting!

  3. Jody Gabourie Says:

    Well, I guess that great minds think alike because I never saw the CNN article or post! I have written several articles (check out my website and blog) on fast marketing people can do - as I want to get people into action and not see marketing as something arduous and necessarily time-consuming.

    Maybe CNN copied me!

    Happy holidays!
