MARKETING
In any surveys of small, micro and Home Based Businesses, the one subject that consistently hits the top of the list requesting assistance – is marketing!

However, it is important that the Home Based Business operator realises that marketing does not have to be a costly exercise; but they must be prepared to devote a significant amount of time to marketing if they truly want their business to benefit.

Marketing can consist of a wide variety of strategies. One of the most effective is ‘targeted networking’. The trouble is, as with many marketing tools used, the operator often does not ‘follow’ through. This ‘hit n miss’ approach can not only cost a lot of time and money, but it is a total waste of effort and energy if no measurement processes are put into place.

It is the information received and acted upon that makes marketing strategies successful. And without successful communication of these strategies, the potential customer will not know what great things you have to offer.
