Recommended "Daily Fix"

Courtesy of MarketingProfs.com, here is a list of marketing blogs that are worth a few minutes of your day:

Seth Godin's Blog
: The author of books like Meatball Sundae, The Dip and All Marketers Are Liars, Seth Godin plays a major role in shaping the marketing world's zeitgeist. A prolific blogger, his posts run the gamut from brief observations to detailed mini-manifestos.
Drew's Marketing Minute: Not only does Drew McLellan offer solid marketing advice in easy-to-comprehend terms, he generates lots of new content on a regular basis. If you're looking for ideas you can implement today, this is where to find them.
Church of the Customer: Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba, who co-authored the book Citizen Marketers, use their blog to focus on word of mouth marketing; it's a must-read for those who want to cultivate their customer evangelists.
MarketingProfs Daily Fix: At the risk of appearing self-congratulatory, we'll include our own Daily Fix blog as an excellent digest of thought-provoking ideas. Contributors often host interesting debates on various marketing issues.

The 1, 2, 3's of marketing
1. Don't be too ambitious with your ideas. With everything you already have on your plate, it's best to stick with one marketing objective at a time. If you try to do too much, well, you know what happens. Pick the idea that will benefit your existing customers/members most (see #3.)
2. Do the marketing mix. Regardless of how much you believe in using one successful medium, one of your goals should be to ingetrate a few other mediums into your marketing plan, creating the right media "mix" and more potential to turn prospects into customers/members.
3. Focus on your core audience. To make the most of your marketing dollar, focus on your current customers/members - and employees. They are your core audience. Lastly, focus on prospects.

Advertising is nothing without good copy
Advertising copy, which essentially is creatively written text that supports your brand message, is more important than your media selection. If you have an interesting message, and if you remain consistent using the same message throughout, you will get your money's worth from all your other marketing mediums. Remember to provide detailed guidance to your agency or freelance copywriter. They will write good copy only if you give them plenty of key points and direction. As always, keep it simple, but make it interesting!

Selling to small businesses
When promoting small-business services such as loans and checking, keep in mind some basics before you market them like others in your portfolio. First, simplify your pitch by getting to the point. Small business owners need to control expenses, be efficient, make good decisions and make a profit. Get on their level by demonstrating how and when they can expect to reach one or more of these goals if they choose your offering over others. Show statistics and testimonials, if you have any. If you don't have any testimonials, show current industry statistics on similar services. Always complete the experience with quick, professional service.
