Note from Bobette Kyle
Marketing Mix, Site Changes, Content

This week's article, "How Your Marketing Mix Can Improve Profit", explains how including both short term and long term strategies in a marketing plan can build your business.

Changes...

A while back, I wrote a mini case study about launching WebSiteMarketingPlan.com:
http://www.websitemarketingplan.com/Arts/CaseStudy.htm

In the article, I noted that my initial focus was to gain online credibility and to get the site known. My next steps were to focus on improving sales conversion rates. Soon you will begin seeing changes at WebSiteMarketingPlan.com that reflect the goal of improving sales conversion. The result will be a cleaner, less confusing site for you.

Featured Newsletters...

One tactic related to the new approach I mentioned above is to focus less on building content at WebSiteMarketingPlan.com and more on providing content to other sites and periodicals.

I'm seeing results...MarketingProfs.com and SiteProNews have both published my articles in the past 10 days. In fact, several other publishers with *opt-in* lists have graciously used my articles in their publications. As a thank you to these and others, I've decided to mention those who publish my articles in a "Featured Newsletters" section.

If you may be interested in publishing one or more of my articles in your own periodical, please let me know. I provide articles at no charge, providing you keep the article intact (including resource box) and "live" link the URLs. Also, s-p-a-mming is not tolerated. You may use my articles only in opt-in publications and on non-offensive Websites. Have a look here for some available articles:

Enjoy,
Bobette

Feature Article
How Your Marketing Mix Can Improve Profit

You may have heard the term "Marketing Mix" used in connection with marketing planning. It means the combination of promotions, products, places (distribution channels), and prices you chose for your business. Including both short term and long term strategies makes for a more profitable marketing mix.

The article tells you how. Read it here:
