The Best Marketing Advice You're Forgetting to Follow

I loved this article in the Entrepreneur Magazine by Colleen DeBaise about good marketing advice that we’ve just plumb forgotten! I am constantly remembering really basic things I knew to succeed in my marketing. For example, sometimes I get too busy to look at who’s following me now on social media. Other times, I leave money on the table when I don’t call back my leads that my website generates. Come clean, you’ve all been there. Here’s what another expert says:

That is a GREAT one. I can’t tell you how many ‘About’ sections have no picture of the owner of the company. Why are you hiding? Remember, a good brand character depends on your character.
Other great marketing advice I’ve given that have been forgotten by clients have been:

• To keep their focus on their niche and not to wander off the target
• To send timely and regular communication to their followers, like a newsletter or at least an email
• To thank people for their referrals in a BIG and over the top way
• To joint venture with only strategic partners who serve the same target as yours
• To stop partnering people in your business or in your keynotes because you’re afraid to do it on your own

If any of those sound like you, well I hope this was a good reminder of what you should be doing instead.
