Is there a Market for your product or service This must be the first question that you answer as you need to know whether your product will survive or not. Factors like competition, location, uniqueness and demand all need to be analysed (P's of marketing next page). One word to help you, Research.

The product is designed around a small business infrastructure as it will help them cut down on costs. Great, thats one question answered. How? The recent rise in broadband consumption amoungst small businesses and homeowners make Email Marketing an appropriate choice. Direct Mail Marketing would be too expensive and results would be difficult to measure. Using return receipts make it possible for them to measure delivery of emails whereas they would be 'left in the dark' trying to determine whether or not someone received something in the post. When to send the email? 9 o' clock on Monday morning...yeah right. People are bombarded with Spam, so the chances of your email being read are slim to say the least. After lunch on Wednesday has been proven to have a high response rate.

Many business owners seeking financing for their business, don't realize that without business credit scores, their business will never obtain significant financing.

Fail to measure and you'll end up measuring your failure Measuring and testing different ways of implementing Marketing strategies or getting your message put across is a key aspect in the Marketing process. I tell most of my clients that you have to fail once and most of the time they do...but only once. Why? Because I also advised them on how to measure their results. So at the end of the day, they are able to see where they went wrong or where the Market wasn't very hospitible to their product which ensures that they never make the same mistake again.
Results, Results, Results Always remember what the objective of the Marketing is. This will ensure that results are measured effectively. For instance, you shouldn't be reconciling the cash at the end of the day if the objective was to increase your Website traffic and not to sell any products.
