How to Market Yourself



How to Market Yourself
   

Marketing is everything you do to get the word out about your business.
It includes networking, cold calling, e-zines, sales letters, web sites, Yellow Page ads, direct mail, coupons, speaking presentations ... and the list goes on.
* Every time you mention your business to someone, you're marketing.
* Every time you hand out your business card, you're marketing.
* Every time someone hears the name of your business in your outgoing voice mail message, you're marketing.
* Every time you give out free samples, you're marketing.
Marketing is what keeps your business alive and well. It's what brings in new customers and keeps previous customers in your active files.
* When you market, you put yourself in contact with people. And the more people you reach, the more customers you gain.
* When you provide excellent customer service, you are marketing.
* When you join online discussion groups and offer advice or suggestions related to your industry, you're marketing.
* When you sign your forum post with your name and the name of your business, you're marketing.
* When you add your "signature" at the end of an email message, you're marketing.
Did you know that others can market for you?
* Every time someone gives you a testimonial, that person is marketing for you.
* Every time a past client refers someone to you, that person is helping you market.
If your business seems to be acting a bit lethargic, perhaps it's time to give it a good shot of marketing.
It'll do wonders or you ... honest!
