Note From the Publisher, Bobette Kyle |
| Archives:http://www.websitemarketingplan.com/NewsletterArchives.htm
Hello Folks -
One strategy to consider when updating or writing your marketing plan is
customer segmentation. The reason for this is two-fold. One, you are better able
to meet customer needs and expectations if you segment them into similar groups.
Two, it can be more efficient and profitable for you. Pay attention, however, to
the effect segmentation has on customer service. The feature article today
addresses the issue (and touches on my own misadventure with inadequate
service).
Speaking of updating your marketing plan, it is time to gear up for the 2007
planning season. (Yes, it's September already!) Take the fun route by checking
out my new interactive marketing plan crossword puzzle. You can solve it online
or print out the PDF and solve by hand.
No marketing plan is complete without attention to online marketing
techniques. In "The Purpose and Practice of Writing Successful SEO Articles"
Karon Thackston shows how to get the most from writing and marketing your
articles online. She explains how to write articles both the reader and search
engines will love.
Enjoy!

Karon writes: I was so excited to read his post! Google-icon Matt Cutts was
blogging on August 21st and hit the nail on the head (as he does quite
frequently). The title of the post was, "SEO Advice: Writing useful articles
that readers will love." That, in and of itself, says it all. Why is this such a
thrilling post? Because it reinforces what I've been saying for years. Whether
you're writing content for a website, an article or any type of SEO copy, you
must think of the reader first.
