10 Small Business Marketing Tips Lists

Marshall Van Fleet's curator insight, June 10, 2014 6:02 AM

Summary: This is a fun list.  Some of the tips like “Create a Cool Giveaway” are interesting and unique in the lists.  Others are fairly common to lists of business services marketing books , link building books, and blogs.  The more common include items like “Attend Networking Events”, and “Support a Cause”, but they are valuable nonetheless.  From personal experience I know networking works for business services companies in particular.  However, one has to commit the time to actively participate in networking to see the real benefits.  Many people start networking and give up before they see results.
