I have many favourite marketing methods but my overall favourite is "THE ONE THAT WORKS!"

Sounds corny I know, but different marketing methods work better depending on the business and the target audience. Therefore for clients I assess several techniques before applying marketing spend.

For my company, SEM and networking are proving to be the most successful but I am about to do a small DM campaign to see how this measures up.

Networking works, but you have to invest lots of time, then you get everybody trying to sell you their services.

We mainly use google adwords which generates a lot of enqueries, but the advert needs to be targeted.

I just know that my marketing strategies do not work.

If I want something very very very specific, like A4 magnetic paper suitable for use with a standard inkjet printer, then I'll search Google for a couple of specialist paper suppliers and compare.

If I want something personal, like a hairdresser, then it's word-of-mouth Every. Time.”

That made a lot of sense
Take care,
