Marketing is so important for small businesses. Whether you realize it or not it is something that you have to do constantly to get and keep your name in the public eye. A local marketing guru here loved my bookmarks and labeled them unique. He stated his first question to a business owner is, What is your budget for marketing?" If they can't give him a fiqure, even if its only $25.00 a month, he ends the meeting. He stated, You have to make a commitment to consistently do something". According to him if there is no commitment to consistently market your business, then you are just spinning your wheels.
The bookmark below is my primary offline marketing tool. The current version includes a 10% off code "Bookmark" for both my sell sites. My reasoning is that people will hold on to it longer. I'd like to hear from you if you think this is effective? Should the design be changed? Do I need my picture included?
Have you thought about or outlined your marketing paln for 2011? What materials are you using to market your business? Are you finding them effective to get traffic to your sell site or blog? Inquiring minds want to know? Smile

I think if it working, keep using it. You can always update your product images later on in the year. You have your name, contact info, and product images, I said you are in a great place.
I plan on getting new business cards. I have change the services I provide and got a google voice number that I want to start using. I might also do some flyers to market locally.
