Marketing Plan Article
"Targeting Your Best Customers Improves Your Marketing Plan Success"

by Justin Hitt

Your best customers are those customers who purchase frequently enough, the products or service you provide, to be profitable. This type of customer generates regular income and is a very desirable customer for your business. Making an effort to target customers like these will rapidly increase your income while creating stability for your organization.

The article explains how to target your best customers and integrate this knowledge into your marketing plan.

My Inbox

Webby Awards
Independent Business Consultant and writer K. Griffith sent me a report on the 7th annual Webby Awards. Submission is open to several categories. Winners will be announced in May.

K. Griffith specializes in B2B and B2C eMarketing strategy.   She may be contacted via email at kgriffiths@swfla.rr.com.

Her full report is here.

Search Engine Positioning
Back in late September, I mentioned that I had been keeping track of search engine rankings with just a spreadsheet, so - thinking it is time to get more sophisticated - I bought Web Position Gold.

I used the software's "Page Critic" to make some changes to my SWOT article page. Since then, the article has made progress...rising from #66 to #24 on keyword "SWOT" in eight weeks.

Another feature I have been finding useful is the "General Suggestions" in the Page Critic reports. These are search-engine-specific tips and advice, updated monthly. Last month, among other advice, the updates included an insight into Google's new ranking algorithm. Updates have been available on or about the 12th each month, so next round should be coming up next week.

If you want to take a look "under the hood" with no obligation to purchase, take advantage of the free 30 day trial.
