BRING OUT THE BEST IN MARKETING FOR 2012
Business studies show that companies that continue to market during tough
economic times often see growth, businesses that cut their marketing
budget often see a decrease in sales, and eventually lose their share of the
local market. The time is now to re-evaluate your marketing strategy. Your
marketing needs to satisfy those inner needs, wants, fears and desires that
drive consumer buying decisions. You can only do that by opening yourself
up to new thinking, new ideas, and new approaches to marketing your
product or service. Instead of trimming budgets, consider reallocating a
portion of marketing expenditures to targeted, measurable activities.
Ex: Incentive programs that can directly influence sales as well as employee
performance and attitude.

Definition of Marketing
Or, as is more the custom today, we could search the Internet to see how
marketing is defined. Whether we search print or electronic form we will find
that marketing is defined in many different ways.
Some definitions focus on marketing in terms of what it means to an
organization, such as being the key functional area for generating revenue,
while other definitions lean more toward defining marketing in terms of its
most visible tasks, such as advertising and creating new products.
There probably is no one best way to define marketing, however, whatever
definition is used should have an orientation that focuses on the key to
marketing success – customers.

or money to invest into a full blown web presence. The obstacles and costs in building a web site keep many local
businesses on the sideline......
