WOM Works Best for Me

I just started out catering to those caught in the middle class squeeze offering information on weathering the recession. So far, word of mouth has done well for me.

inexpensive marketing

thank you for having your article visible on u.s. news. it reminded me that i need to keep a presence out there...at least a trickle...to keep up.

i have a small business (thermobuilt.com) and extensive experience in the field of "affordable" energy efficient housing.

Your article revived some old ideas on free marketing that i had allowed to drift into the background and out of view.

i will print it out to highlight and get back into doing something to realize my goal which is to propagate my system far and wide.

many thanks, carl hebinck, president, thermobuilt.com

Stay the course!

There are many no or low cost marketing options available to independent businesses. If you need to cut back in your marketing budget, then cut back. But that in no way means you can't create low cash/big splash marketing campaigns. You can!

Check out BizUnite at http://www.bizunite.com. (We don't launch until July 2008, but...) We're offering best of breed marketing tools at deep discounts, tailored just to independents businesses.
