I read a lot of blogs on marketing and too often I think people lose site of the customers need. <BR/><BR/>Pop Quiz - what sits inside the Marketing Mix?<BR/><BR/>Too often I think we get caught up in fancy stuff and the ext big thing and lose sight of the fact hat we should always keep the customer central.<BR/><BR/>However, I don't think there is an "argument" for it. I absolutely believe that it is essential .. otherwise why would people buy a product? Sure you may create a need or bring a latent need back to their fore thoughts.<BR/><BR/>@Josh – I always believe that a website should be a place that answers questions, so with the next click, I think that there should always be a click that answers whatever question the visitor has.Daniel Oystonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17077473855767355989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914822023495053875.post-50865587609852716082008-12-03T21:13:00.000-08:002008-12-03T21:13:00.000-08:00Thanks for the mention Josh!

Car dealerships and real estate agent's use this very effectively as their CRM. It doesn't take a lot of effort to maintain these relationships.Josh Strawczynskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10528954325994743167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914822023495053875.post-86979400264673549232008-12-03T05:11:00.000-08:002008-12-03T05:11:00.000-08:00Companies seem to ignore the single largest online branding/advertising venue available: their own regular external emails. Why not use these emails to market the senders company?<BR/><BR/>You have a website.<BR/>You send emails.<BR/><BR/>Why not multiply your sales-staff by “wrapping” the regular email in an interactive letterhead?<BR/><BR/>No other marketing or advertising medium is as targeted as an email between people that know each other (as opposed to mass emails). These emails are always read and typically kept.Rolv E.
