Moving Forward with Marketing Tasks

Yesterday I provided insight into my week’s marketing projects. I was able to pack and mail the brochures, but the day became very productive with new tasks, and I didn’t visit the bookstore. I’ll combine that trip with another errand later in the week.

Today’s marketing tasks include finalizing the details for three speaking engagements in 2007, fulfilling an order, and writing a note of thanks to a friend who treated me to lunch and business tips on Wednesday.

This morning I made time to review some marketing magazines and online newsletters that arrived last Friday. Here’s what I found.

The New York Enterprise Report features an article entitled, “How to Always Pitch a Strike,” in the September/October issue. Written by Alan Siege, it focuses on the “elevator speech” or, alternatively phrased, how to make a connection in 30 seconds or less.

While reviewing an Ezine, I found a link to an article on Harvey Mackay’s Web site. Mackay is best known for the book, Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive. The link did not work, but I reviewed the site and found many great marketing tips and ideas that should be bookmarked. Check out Mackay’s weekly column.

What’s on your plate as you continue moving forward with your projects? Post it here. Perhaps we can offer another perspective or solution or simply cheer you on. I’ll return tomorrow for updates.
