Just got back from a couple of days in Brighton…work and play. I have family there so its always fun! Wow the locals are so laid back to us Londoners and the trains are so quick now. Well done Network Southeast..totally impressed. Back to facebook, proposals and the London Underground! I was suffering from withdrawl symptoms from Facebook and Twitter…nice to be home
I do notice when you take a day out from the usual chaos or workload, it gives you a great sense of perspective and I usually get loads of ideas! In fact I get ideas ALL the time. I have come to the conclusion its better to write everything down so you don’t lose the thought! In addition, it would be physically impossible to implement all of mine so I am collecting them in a book….and may release it one day!
Are you getting enough ’sunshine’ or ‘clarity’ in your business of life? Where else do you need to treat yourself to a little bit of ‘Brighton Sunshine!’

Bon week-end a tous!

My note:
Everyone is online now and lots of stuffs are free, Social media is not new with AOL emails previously.
Micro bloging is popular with twitter, facebook, Myspace, etc…
Talk/Questions with BBC, YouTube, FaceBook, Reuters, Daily Telegraphe Media guys:
Content is very important on blogs,
Blogs are a very good, they should be honest, open place to talk and debate topics,
Innovation will happen if we like it or not.
The success in facebook is probably because of the simplicity of use and on there easy applications, They put users first, They gave dialogue to people and they are continue with innovation, brands should advertise on facebook as they have good and easy tools, If you place your brand it should be authentic, brands are own by customer not by business owner, they are focusing on customer,
When you share content like video, they will live longer because they are discuss and share via links to others, but be careful with who the content it is share with. Twitter is good for engaging consumer and share infos,

6 Reasons to Keep Marketing February 21, 2009

6 Reasons to Keep Marketing, Even During a Recession
You can’t go anywhere right now without hearing about the economy. Food and gas prices are increasing, and although most of us aren’t running huge banks or trying to balance the federal budget, the stress of the current economic downturn is certainly trickling down to the point that we can feel it. But one of the last things that we want to do in the middle of a rotten economy is slam on the brakes of our own businesses, you know, just in case things get worse. Instead, one of the best things we can do, for our business, for our own sanity, and for the economy, is to step on the gas. Continue your inbound marketing efforts, publish articles that others will find relevant and helpful, and keep networking. Here are 6 reasons why you shouldn’t let the current economy keep you from focusing on your inbound marketing efforts.
1. Time Over Money. The good thing about inbound marketing is that it requires you to invest far more time than money. So take the time to work on your inbound marketing strategy and you won’t have to spend a dime.
2. Let People Find You. When you’re focusing on inbound marketing, you’re trying to make yourself visible to potential customers who will be interested in what you have to offer. You want people to come to you, so the first thing you need to do is to find out where they are. What forums do they frequent? Which blogs do they comment on? What social media sites do they use? When you answer these questions effectively, you can show up where the people are and motivate them to look at what you have to offer. As mentioned previously, this is a time-consuming effort rather than a money-consuming effort. What do you have to lose?
3. Look At Your Competitors. Marketing experts say that, during this recession, businesses will be spending more on online marketing than on traditional marketing. If your competitors are investing their time and efforts into inbound marketing, you can’t afford not to do the same.
4. Measure Everything. Successful inbound marketing is easy to measure. You can quickly tell where your leads came from, where your customers found you, and the efforts you made to which they responded. This kind of information is invaluable. Use it to help you figure out what’s working and what isn’t. Do more of what works. Do less of what doesn’t.
5. Always Improve. The information you receive from analyzing your marketing efforts should show you exactly where you need to improve. If you’re not using this information to improve your efforts, then you’re wasting your time.
6. Look Toward the Future. Marketing experts have proven time and time again that the best way to ensure a successful future is to continue investing in your business during tough times. You may not have much money to spend right, now, but that doesn’t mean your marketing efforts should come to a grinding halt. Be persistent. Keep plugging along. When things start looking up again, you’ll be ahead of the game.
When the money’s tight, our natural instinct is to stop spending, of course. Resist the temptation to sit on your hands. Years of research shows that cutting back on marketing when things are looking grim puts companies at a distinct disadvantage when things start looking more positive again. Take your cue from Rupert Murdoch, who continues to invest even when everyone else has thrown in the towel and decided that there’s nothing else to do but wait it out. And even if you don’t have piles of money sitting around, you can still invest a great deal of time in your marketing efforts. Find out where your potential customers are hanging out and engage them where they are. Spend some time figuring out where your efforts give you the greatest return on investment and make whatever improvements are appropriate. You’ll be glad you did in the long run.
My comments:
I strongly agreed – Sale and Marketing are the 2 things you always need however the economy is and during Recession it`s even more primordial for the survival of your Business.
Lots of Company with no ethic will close they’re doors but if you can make it and even do well during Recession you will then Fly in the Future…
Also Customer service is Important for B2B and/or B2C as in the Infinite of the internet people get lost and forgotten even your clients, customers and yourself (unless you have good Marketing tools) get side track and forget the most important thing where the Business come from…The Client/customer, so stay focus, calls and/or emails your client/customer and keep “Sale and Marketing” whatever happen...

Putting it out there & the Law of Gender
Well its been a full on week! Its amazing. I have been out and about meeting people, blogging, contributing, adding value and letting people know about what I’m doing.
After ’sowing the seeds’ spring seems to have arrived and I am getting calls and emails regarding work, presenting, speaking and courses! Its wonderful! I am also pleased to have passed on contacts and work to other associates…lovely.
Being a Virgo…one gets a little impatient and you are reminded again that if you really want something, sometimes the Law of Gender kicks in…this essentially says that everything happens in its own good time. Especially if you’ve put some hard graft in before hand.
Like everyone, I am aiming for effortlessness and the power of systems to take the pressure off…oooh the power of the internet and virtual assistants…
So wherever you are - is the hard work paying off? Are you getting what you want? Are you giving what you want? Are you putting it out there…enough!!
Go forth and get giving…I guarantee it WILL come back x 10
Have a great week

Create the Love! Try a Valentine’s WORLD WIDE RAVE!
Create a WORLD WIDE RAVE on Social Media…I was listening to David Meerman Scott on a Hubspot webinar and he rocked.
What is a WORLD WIDE RAVE?
Well its essentially a story or event or even a piece of information that goes beyond viral marketing. Everyone wants to be involved and news spreads quickly! There was an example that David gave of the Harry Potter Theme Park. They told 7 people on a live secret webinar – within 24 hours it had reached 35 Million people.
I am looking into it even more now. Its tremendously valuable and fun! For anyone who would like to create more wealth or even awareness. These kind of phenomenons are worth exploring and applying – and you dont need to be a pure ‘techie’ to do it! David reveals all in his – New book out soon! My order is in! Get ahead of the crowds!

Snow Joke! It’s a marketing dream…
Well what a snowy week we’ve had in the UK. I did attempt to do some work on Monday but the snow started at midnight on Sunday night and so it was too tempting to stay up late throwing snowballs. Monday was spent building snow men and continued snowball fights..
Some of you may be thinking…AND we get snow all the time! Well us Londoners rarely see snow so this was prime opportunity to pretend we were in the French Alps…well almost.
I was surprised to see just how many people turned it to their advantage and almost all blogs HAD to mention it! Some retailers even displayed ‘Prices Frozen…literally’. So how else could you use an occasion to promote and market yourself or your business?
Ive just come back from the US and one of my good friends Bob the Teacher had a Half Time sale related to the Super Bowl! How cool and idea was that! So what can you do TODAY to take advantage of that?
Ask yourself. What events are coming up that could be tailored or tweaked for your market? Ie Sporting events, Academy Awards, Your local Village Festival! Whatever – a great example that is coming up next week is VALENTINES DAY – it is so easy to relate most of your products to that in some way!
Prepare an email or flyer to distribute to your clients or lists and encourage them to go for your service/product!
Happy Marketing Weekend!
