Which marketing
tools can increase business by 50%? QTMM 10-12-11
Do
you want more clients? Do you want better clients?
This
is not a "sales pitch" -- it's a real question.
I ask
because I realized (again) that no marketing plan or tactics or strategy will
get you (or me) more (or better) clients unless you are willing to do what it
takes to get them -- instead of taking what comes along (a.k.a. word of mouth.).
What
does it take? A focused campaign.
Marketing Mentor client, K9 Design Co, spent the last 3 years
pursuing the clients they wanted. As a result of
this hard work their revenue increased an amazing 50% from 2009 to 2010.
Their success can be instructive to all of us -- so I wrote it up as a case
study. ( Download the case study
here.)
