I have a meeting on Tuesday with advertising reps from a new local radio station (I’ve mentioned this station in previous articles before). We’ll be discussing a possible campaign for a client of ours to the tune of $20,000. Assessing the cost benefit ratio of any advertising is difficult at the best of times. But […]

What to do when you make a mistake
Mmmmmmmm. I made a mistake about 2 hours ago. I was reviewing the subscribers to our newsletter (we’ll be sending out the first edition with a special Free Report next week) earlier and accidently hit the send button. All of our subscribers received an email from me with this: dftryhgdfghj I feel rather silly. The […]
I highly recommend that you read this
On most pages on the web site you might notice we have placed an ad for my book at the bottom. The ad contains links over to where you can buy the kit. Someone emailed me yesterday with the suggestion that maybe I would be better off having a testimonial from a happy customer, instead […]
The magic question

The food is presented in quality plastic containers, with chopsticks and a well-branded bag. Although this doesn’t impact on the taste of the food, the owner is smart enough to know that presentation is a […]
Oooooooops…….I’ve just made a big mistake and my wife is not happy!
Okay guys, here’s a heads up. Just so you know. Despite its name, a ‘joint’ account isn’t what you think it would be for. When my wife told me that she had set us up a joint account I thought “Good for you. About time we set money aside for dope.” It was only after […]
The simplest ideas are often the best!
I received another email today (I get quite a few each day) thanking me for the info on this site and telling me that the things I advocate seems so simple and logical. Marketing is usually very, very simple. Following is a great example: One of our clients runs a retail plant nursery. Plants are […]
Encouraging word of mouth – how do you do it?
Word of mouth is, without question, the most successful marketing technique for the majority of our clients. * I played golf yesterday with a friend who is an Orthodontist. His main source of patients – referrals (And yes, he beat me by 5 shots). * A client who runs a retail store – main source […]
