 What’s New in
 Practical Marketing

The section on what you could be doing now to get ready for your own business has been expanded. This is particularly important if are planning to open your own business and are presently working for someone else. 

 

Practical and effective marketing tips, insights and ideas for the “do-it-yourself” marketer—critical information that can save time, money and build value—right from the start of your new business.
You will find Practical Marketing particularly effective if you are in the planning stages and have not yet launched your business.

 

I’m Sam Grinels and I want to help you succeed and prosper with your new business.

  • Since 1979 I’ve been helping businesses of all sizes with successful marketing and Web programs, including small and independent businesses like yours (see experience).
  • This experience is available on the Practical Marketing Web site…things like:
    • The common marketing problems I see in just about every new small business and what to do to avoid them.
    • Where money is wasted and where it should be spent (and typically isn’t).
    • How to build the value of your new business, right from the start (the vast majority of private businesses are not passed on to family members). 
    • …and much more. 

    It cost $50 for a key to Practical Marketing for a year.  Your key will unlock:

    • The door to critical marketing information to help you get your new business off to a flying start.
    • A bonus of $50 off your first color printing order at

      • A bonus of $25 off your first printing order at Kwik Kopy printing in Cupertino, CA (Silicon Valley).

       

       

       Are You Starting a Business?

      • Do you have your MARKETING PLAN ready?
        • Every business should have a marketing plan. But if you’re having trouble getting one going, here is a slick trick to “jump-start” the process, without knocking yourself out. More.
      • Will your business have a NAME?
        • If so, you absolutely need to read this section. Why? Because choosing the right name can be reduce costs, build value, increase profits, and give you options you just won’t have with the “wrong” name. More.
      • Will your business have a LOGO?
        • Please, please read this section. The majority of all stand-alone logos are complete and utter wastes of time and money. AND, this is the incredible part — money wasted on a logo now will keep adding unnecessary expense for the entire life of your business.  More.
      • Will you be printing STATIONERY?
        • The right image is important to your business, but don’t let ego add unnecessary expense. More.
      • Are you presently WORKING for SOMEONE ELSE?
        • If someone else is currently paying you, there a number of very important things you should be doing now to get ready for your own business—right now while you have the luxury of someone else paying your way. More.
