Like, can we just troll the net getting crafty type e-mails and fill you full of them???? And I heartily second what Annalea said about Seth Godin. Not that I'm a marketing type, but I recently found his blog and it's really fascinating -- in marketing or not. I'm betting Boris might find it a good read on occasion too!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689508448057019823.post-79437854717346154182008-04-03T23:53:00.000-04:002008-04-03T23:53:00.000-04:00you want I take that auto message off for you?you want I take that auto message off for you?melly~https://www.blogger.com/profile/03306598204814387612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689508448057019823.post-58705599800857573652008-04-03T23:37:00.000-04:002008-04-03T23:37:00.000-04:00I don't know if I'll be able to contribute any add...I don't know if I'll be able to contribute any addresses, but I can contribute one name that will make more difference in your business than a hundred thousand name email list:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.sethgodin.com" REL="nofollow">Seth Godin</A><BR/><BR/>The man is a marketing and business genius . . . and I'm not saying that because I'm a marketing-type. I'm saying that because I'm a customer (and having spent sizable amounts of money in my day, I'm pretty serious about who I deal with and how they treat me). I've read his stuff, and he's right.<BR/><BR/>He's not about manipulation and subterfuge (like a lot of salesmen I've run into), but about actually building a business and making a living by turning your efforts towards things that people <B>actually want</B>, and showing you ways to contact them that not only go counter to common practice, but <B>actually work</B>. Quality, not quantity, is the name of the marketing game.<BR/><BR/>I'd start you off with either <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FPurple-Cow-Seth-Godin%2Fdp%2F014101640X%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1207279837%26sr%3D8-6&tag=renaissance0e-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325" REL="nofollow">The Purple Cow</A>, or <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FPermission-Marketing-Turning-Strangers-Customers%2Fdp%2F0684856360%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1207279837%26sr%3D8-4&tag=renaissance0e-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325" REL="nofollow">Permission Marketing</A>. But, if you see something that floats your boat higher (like <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FSmall-New-Big-Remarkable-Business%2Fdp%2F1591841267%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1207279837%26sr%3D8-3&tag=renaissance0e-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325" REL="nofollow">Small is the New Big</A>), then by all means, go for it. You're a smart woman, and you'll be able to really use what he has to say.
