Thanks for checking out our marketing tips series! Each week we will be bringing you one completely FREE marketing tip that will help your small business grow.
Nothing in marketing is ever a guarantee – well… unless you’re advertising to give away free money. In which case, you just might have a winner! Point being is that every single marketing tactic you come across might work for someone or some business but not for others. It depends on what market you are in (location), what industry you are in, who your customers are etc!
This is why today, for the very first email in our series, we want to share with you ‘
The 4 P’s of Marketing
‘. Think of these as your guiding principles with any marketing objective.
Each week in our series, we will have a brief outline of a marketing concept, idea, or tool – and we will post additional information in a blog post. This way if you’re not interested in this particular topic… well… sorry we disappointed you, but at least you have less to read haha!
The right sidebar of the emails will always include FAQ’s on the subject as well as any other relevant stats or articles.
We hope you enjoy! And as always, we respect all CASL (Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation) laws and always include a link to unsubscribe. So if at any time you no longer wish to receive our emails, you can click the good ‘ole’ unsubscribe button.
Ok ok.. we know.. get on with it already right?!
