Sign up for ‘Countdown to 2010′, a 10-week marketing programme to kick-start your new year

It’s never too early to plan. I couldn’t believe it when I looked at the calendar and realised that we only had 11 weeks left in 2009 (including this one!!).

Too often, us business-owners are so busy working in the business that we don’t focus enough on the business. Time has a funny way of flying by and suddenly, one week, one month, a half-year has flown by and we don’t even realise it.

As I set myself my own goal of working on my marketing plan for 2010, I thought it would be a good idea to share some key goals or initiatives that I’ll be looking at with other business-owners. We all have to plan, we all have to market and if I can help you market your business in a small way, then happy days. A rising tide raises all ships.

Countdown to 2010

Over the next ten weeks, you’ll get ideas, direct to your inbox, on a variety of marketing related topics that will all fit together for your overall marketing plan. Some of the topics include:

• Pricing - Stop under-valuing and start offering real value
• Promotion - Get the basics right for your 2010 campaigns
• Copy-writing - Engage with your audience to get results
• Social Marketing - Connect with social medium such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin
• Distribution - Deliver your product or service in the most effective manner

Many people’s eyes glaze over when I talk about strategic marketing or marketing planning, but if you break it down into bite-sized pieces, it’s easier to conquer. A journey is started by taking the first step.
