Anyway, I was wondering if any of you have a marketing system or routine in place, and if so, what do you do, and how are the results? I read an article consisting of a 30 day marketing plan (1 marketing task each business day for 30 days), and was just curious as to what steps others were taking for their own business. Thanks!

That could be blogging, social networking, forum or face to face networking. I have a set plan but it changes month to month. For example, I may attend more network meetings in one month rather than another. However, I have a goal or the month (5 network lunches, two blog posts, 5 blog comments, etc.) and make sure that that goal is met every month. __________________ Lee Drozak My Office Assistant

I started by starting a new blog that I hope to post a new article to every week and then syndicate those articles. I also plan on being more involved in networking. I like the idea of planning one hour a day for marketing. That sounds like a very simple, yet effective plan. Thanks Lee. __________________ Kristi Bennitt Virtual Assistant/Bookkeeper

I am fairly new, I opened my business in November. I scan writing jobs every morning, as that is the focus of my VA biz. I then work on my monthly newsletter, social network through facebook and LinkedIn. I was sending direct mail to people in my target market however had absolutely no response that way.. __________________ Caroline Pigott VIP Assistant Solutions

My routine right now is to spend 30 minutes each morning on office tasks (marketing related i.e. postcards etc.) then an hour each morning working on networking (blogging, forums, etc.). I do keep tweetdeck open all day and view it throughout the day. __________________ Lanel Taylor, CVA ~ Virtual Bookkeeper Taylored Office Solutions Custom fit solutions for all your office needs.
