Name For New Marketingprofs Newsletter?Premium Member
Posted By: Val (Moderator) on 3/2/2007 2:03 PM (CST) 2500 Points
Hi guys! In April, we're planning to launch a revamped version of our e-newsletter Know-How News. You guys are TERRIFIC in the creative department. I'd love to hear your ideas for a new name/tagline. Here's a little background ...

Three years ago, KHN started out as a community-builder for this forum. You can see past issues here. Then last summer we repositioned it as a combination of community news + small business articles. We have 30K (free) subscribers to date.

This next relaunch is intended to strengthen it's usefulness for small business marketers. The publication will remain free. So we need a redesign and refresh to improve response rates -- with the ultimate objective of increasing ad sales. The current format is WAY too busy. Ads are not visible enough. And there's too much content for busy readers to wade through (we can see this in CTRs).

So we're going to test a drastically different approach. We're going to feature just one mini article in it's entirety (in the body of the email). In a very focused manner (150-350 words), it will cover a single marketing concept or resource we think small business marketers will want to know about. Often the ideas for these articles will come from KHE discussions. They'll also come from our seminars, our blog and our articles. There will likely be a graphic and just one ad.

Another big difference is frequency. We're going to shift from weekly to 3x per week: Mon, Wed, Fri. The idea is to bring info to readers in bite-sized chunks they can skim in a few seconds and then keep or delete rather than needing to spend significant time with one long newsletter. Here's a peek at how another publisher, Daily Candy, carries this off.

Advertisers will probably do weekly ad buys, sponsoring a couple issues in a row. They'll be happy about having greater visibility. And hopefully they'll receive more clicks, resulting in more bookings with us.

We need to position this new pub as distinctly different from our flagship publication, MarketingProfs Today (six years old). MPT mails on Tuesdays to nearly 250K readers. MPT is written for B2B and B2C marketers at all company sizes and industries and all experience levels. We have thousands of Fortune 500 subscribers, for example.

In contrast, the small business publication will be written for those who work for SMEs ... companies with less than $10 million in sales, small marketing teams and small marketing budgets. We will conduct a reader survey of the current KHN subscriber base in the next two weeks to collect more info, but we expect to find they are B2B and B2C and generally less experienced at marketing than some of our MPT readers (many are business owners learning on the job, rather than folks with lots of formal marketing training). I know them to be busy and eager to find guerrilla marketing tactics they can implement with one or two team members.

To eventually increase our ad revenue, we need to actively grow our subscriber list. So we'd like to see "small business" in the name (or smbiz or similar), rather than a name that's less immediately clear to newcomers, like Know-How News. We do plan to promote the new newsletter to the existing KHN subscriber base, and discontinue publishing KHN.

What else would you like to know? I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Val

Hi Val,

As long as a human being can deal in certainties, he can deal in decision. If he can deal in decision, he can deal in action, because the ultimate decision, the fastest decision there is, is action! ...

It's very depressing to deal with thinking as thinking, because then you're getting around flocks of maybes this way and that way. It's much better to have action. Action is ze crème, ze essence, la pièce de résistance. If you can achieve action, you will achieve happiness.

I like the one key article with ads sponsored like the Daily Candy example but with your twist of sponsoring for the expansion or good of small business know-how tools.

I suggest

Know-How Actions - Results for Small Business
MarketingProfs - Now You Know How

I will check back. I love what you do and support having advertisers come on board. Makes sense and if there were advertisers I did not notice. Those you choose are fortunate.
All the best,
Kathy

Hi Val,

For what it is worth, I wouldn't limit yourself by having Small Business in the title. Since 80+ percent of the businesses in the country are small businesses, they are not the 'niche' that B2B marketers see them as.

Play to the strength of the MarketingProfs brand and excellent reputation and highlight the value element of the newsletter. Why is it for small businesses? Will the advice be geared toward small marketing/PR budgets, or is it the brief, but rich nugget that you can get through quickly because you are busy running your small business.

I think rwood had some great ideas, but just add back in the Marketing Prof brand.

MarketingProfs One Minute Marketer
Marketing in a Minute from MarketingProfs
Marketing Profs One Minute Marketing Pro


Don't fall into that trap that so many do of marketing generically to 'small business.' The SBA definition of a small business is 500 or less for a manufacturer and 100 or less for all other concerns. That leaves some huge variances in the level of marketing pro you're reaching it could be a savvy pro with a staff of five or an overworked part time marketer who wears five other hats.

Stress the MarketingProf brand, stress the time savings, and stress the professionalism that reading your product will bring.

(And indeed it is a GREAT product).

Best,

~Jason

Hi Val,

HERE'S THE HISTORY....
a group called "WAR" back in the early days wrote a song and inside that song was this line "Give The People What They Want". That's what you really got to do.

change is good! But Re-Branding is better.

GET YOUR CUSTOMERS INVOLVED...
So why not explain what you're doing with your most committed customers? The die hard readers that read your newsletter come rain come shine.

The passionate ones that need the insight and can't afford to always pay for every bit of knowledge they get.

Get rid of all those fair weather readers. And get the ones reading more involved. Make lovers of your readers by doing what Leonardo da Vinci did. Take them up to the mountain edge and...

That's It! That's the type of audience you're trying to pull anyway. Right?

THE GOAL...MORE SERIOUS FOLLOWERS...
Sure, if you had more of them you'd have a better audience of customers anyway. Get those dead beat readers off your list and bring in a more vibrant, passionate, lively group of thirsty neck readers who can't wait to drink from the living waters of Marketingprofs.


* "So here's the most amazing titles and taglines you've ever seen for a marketing newsletter" Love'em or Hate'em:


#2 Amazing Title: "Your Marketing Thirst satisfied"

#2 Amazing Tag line: ...for small business readers that need the living waters only marketingprofs guarantees to quench.


#1 Amazing Title: "Thirsty Marketing Solutions"

#1 Amazing Tag line: ...for thirsty neck readers who can't afford to fail or lose money.



#3 Amazing Title: "AMAZING Marketing Advice"

#3 Amazing Tag line: ...for small business readers looking for AMAZING results!


Here's another FREE suggestion...I think the short format written in conversational tone will give the newsletter the "Edge" it needs.

Well what do you know...Val I've got another amazing title for you.


#8 Amazing Title: "The Marketing Edge"

#8 Amazing Tag line: ...a resource gauranteed to give you some CraZy Edge on the competition!


I'll be a monkey's uncle, before you know it you'll have more readers than you can shake a stick at!

Well if you want more of this Val, it's gonna cost you. I hope you didn't think I was doing this (all) for FREE.

"I NEED THE POINTS" (lol) and...I've got questions I need to ask and...

I've got kids that I mentor and they hold me accountable to securing their futures. Hopefully you were helped by the interesting ideas I've shared here and maybe you can appreciate that value by helping me reach other corporate executives who could partner with me and Nightingale Conant to do something great for children. If you don't think children are worth it or my ideas don't have value (that's okay) you can deduct points from my point total and I'll go back to the drawing board.

And another suggestion Val, make sure you get writers with P-A-S-S-I-O-N.

People who love the heck out of what they do. Writers who love to write. People who are up on the latest ideas, technology, resources and writers that are intuitive. Part marketing geniuses/Part artist. Like Leonardo Da Vinci he used Arte/Scienza...hit em with something logical but at the same time creative. Appeal to their cerebral cortex with a little visual, a little audio and somethin' for their Kinesthetic minds.

One things for sure you can't be all things to all people. But you got to give the people what they want. REMEMBER... our only real problem in life is our failure to be "MORE Creative" than we’ve ever been. If you “Invent” your opportunity YOU WILL most definitely create your future. I'm only an email away from you if you need my help. Is there anything else I can do for you?

Jason --

Great perspective. I've been reluctant to use "Small Business" in the title for that reason, too... which is why I liked the "Minute" or "Know How" aspect. I think it's more important to emphasis the brevity and digestibility of the product... and with Val behind it, it will be a fun & vibrant publication, to boot!

Val --

Here's my take for MarketingProfs.com's:

"Marketing Moment", or

"Marketing Shorts"

The focus is marketing and the message is (mercifully!) brief!

What a great idea. You're using frequency over depth. In a time-starved world that's brilliant.

FYI, we're also about to launch a new marcom service for our clients to send to their clients that's built on that very same premise. The receptivity of 'short and sweet' is music to their ears -- both to our clients and their clients who were involved in developing the service.

You are sooooo 'right on' the money with your approach! I can't wait to see it come out. All the best.

P. S.
I agree about using the term 'small business' . . . we know who we are and the way each person defines it gives the term an inconsistent meaning at best. Assuming your topic is of interest to your audience (it is) and that your format is easy-to-digest (it is) I am sure you'll knock this one out of the park -- guaranteed!

Hi again. A few comments/answers.

farfromnormal: I LOVE the idea of cartoons! I looked into it last summer during the previous redesign. At the time, the cost was prohibitive for original artwork. But maybe after advertising takes off? Or if anyone knows good sources for lower-cost syndicated cartoons, please let me know.

vermont_pr_guy: Great comments about positioning. Our intention is to describe tactics/tools that are low-cost and can be implemented with small teams. I'm thinking of the entrepreneur or marketer wearing multiple hats and always working with one eye on cash flow.

We're thinking of launching a different brief daily publication that will be for all marketers. And MPT is for all marketers. So the unique thing about this one is it's for small business marketers. The newsletter will be a little different because the reader profile is a little different. We'll be writing for a specific audience/persona.

And if we're successful at differentiating the subscriber list, we can target advertisers that want to reach small businesses. So this pub could allow us to draw in new advertisers, rather than cannibalize our other publications.

I'm not sure this means we must have "small business" in the name. But it seems like including "small business" or "start-up" or "entrepreneur" would help us attract a differentiated subscriber list. Either that or we broaden the focus to all marketers and distinguish this publication in the minds of our readers + advertisers in some other way (readers: fast info; advertisers: busy marketers).

Deremiah: As always, I love your energy and passion! You're exactly right. We need more active readers. They're the ones the newsletter is for. And as editors, its our job to figure out what will be most engaging. We'll be sure to ask our customers what they want when we survey them soon. And as you suggest, we're going for a pithy, conversational tone.

Thanks, everyone. You've given us a lot to think about already! We're happy to hear any and all additional ideas.

Best,

Val

I agree that email should be short, even if it's news letter.
So you are going into right direction.

But, think about another side of the story:
in my opinion email news letters are dying.

RSS/Atom XML feed is simply more effective instrument than email/news letter.

I'd recommend to put more of your efforts into XML feeds instead of email news letters.

And one more thing:
It's ok if ads are not blowing up into reader's eyes.
I believe ads should be subtle.
Learn from Google :-)

Here are some general thoughts. Small businesses I've worked with all have the same issue, little budget, need large impact, don't like anything too complicated. There is little tolerance for complex marketing activities and anything that doesn't immediately help drive sales.

So the names I came up with all focus on those themes:

Fueling Small Business Growth by Marketing Profs
Cutting the Marketing Clutter
Clutter Cutter
Tagline:
Essential and Practical Marketing for the Entrepreneur (Small Business Owner)

Or a couple of others:

Catalyst: Practical Marketing for Small Business

High Impact: Leveraging Small Business Marketing Dollars for More

Preference: Leveraging Small Business Marketing Dollars to Increase Demand

Going through the different aspects of MPT branding and feedbacks, one thing is for sure...Most of us here are not from the Big Four. Nor are normally the problems the forum discusses. This comes more relevant when realising the definitions of SMEs and the actual sizes of SMEs. They ain't micro at all.

In such an environment, most of us again will be the TG for the new newsletter which is a brief version, that can be gone through and learned from, without leaving the other imminent desktop applications from the forefront.

FROM YOUR POSTING:
*we're going to test a drastically different approach. *We're going to feature just one mini article
* in it's entirety, in the body of the email, In a very focused manner (150-350 words)
* it will cover a single marketing concept or resource we think small business marketers will want to know about. * Often the ideas for these articles will come from KHE discussions.
*They'll also come from our seminars, our blog and our articles.
* There will likely be a graphic and just one ad.
* We're going to shift from weekly to 3x per week: Mon, Wed, Fri.

"The idea is to bring info to readers in bite-sized chunks they can skim in a few seconds and then keep or delete rather than needing to spend significant time with one long newsletter".

In toto, it is MPT in its concise Avatar. Period.

Hi Val,

I thought you' guys would have made a decision by now. Well since you haven't here's 5 minutes worth of brainstorming by a good friend of mine. She's just phenomenal at the process of brainstorming. I've used her a lot for some of my ---TOP Secret--- projects.

She told me if you like any of these that I could put you in contact with her but she's afraid if she gives away all of her idea generation techniques online that people will just use her. And she's been hurt before by people who claimed to be genuine about business relationships. Well here's what she gave me in about 5 minutes. I could hardly keep up with her...

*Mktg.Profs - 'GLIMPSE ' ...a sneak peek

*Mktg.Profs - 'CIRCUIT' ... small scale, great heights..

*Mktg.Profs - 'INFO FLASH'...for small strokes that fell great oaks..

*Mktg.Profs- 'CONDUIT' – 'scale' no bar..'S' to 'XXL' (OR) to 'scale' new heights

*Mktg.Profs- 'CONNECT' - stay connected...

Cheers

I agree with Ann H

MarketingProfs Know How

This is exactly what it is and encompasses a lot of different aspects of marketing. It says a lot in just a few simple words.

Hey Stevea,

the problem is that most people don't think they're creative. The words and ideas you think shape and frame your thinking about yourself.

Who are you? but who you have told yourself you are. Fortunately I don't have that problem (thinking I'm creative) because I am very prolific. I'm not bragging but it's true. Until I began to study the life of Leonardo Da Vinci and other great creative innovators, I thought I was weird (I've won awards in painting and drawing, I've written over 5,000 songs and I can create songs almost at will, including jingles and songs in many different genres, I can dance, imitate dances and make up dances, I also sing with a vocal style like Stevie Wonder and I can speak extemporaneously about countless subjects because I read dozens of books a year and thousands of articles a year). But now I know I'm just peculair because I refuse to believe that we are born to be common. Now that I've read the biography of Benjamin Franklin I truly know with out a shadow of a doubt that everyone is Born 2-B Gr8. Some of us have accepted that but most are still struggling.

I would suggest you turn off your television, turn off your radio and have some quite time for about a week. It's been one decade this year since I gave up TELE-VISION and you know what?, I have gained VISION because real vision comes from within you. Turning these things off will quite your spirit and take the muzzle off of your soul inspiring your thinking as your creativity is unleashed. Don't be afraid Steve...you are a creative genius too.

Is there anything else I can do for you? I'd really love to be of service.

Your Servant,

Okay Val,

tell me the SECRET...how do you guys get to keep your questions open for a month and a half but not have to make comments? (LOL)...not trying to give you a hard time but that just dawned on me when your date says 3-2-07 above.

Well Val it's time to close this question. Especially since no of us win. For anyone who wants to use this title for their next newsletter let me know. It Works!

"Unleash Your Prof"

Well Stevea,

that does it for me. I got to go and make some money inspiring others to believe in the impossible. It's time to do the Teddy Roosevelt and get Exuberant about LIFE...

Your Servant,

Dear Val

Then don’t do what other so-called B2B websites do, which is to devalue the commodity. (In this instance the website)

According to some web statistics, you have 620,000 readers. You know how many members and subscribers you have!

You need more members. Subscribers will only follow if you offer them some value. That value usually lies in self interest, so maybe you need to look at the Linkedin and Ecademy model (Lord help you) or see to how CRMGuru has grown to 300,000 members.

Being a free-marketer, I’d look to maximize the profit to the shareholders. But then, I’d bugger up the quality of the site, all for short term gain!


Best wishes

Dear Val,

Pn a personal note, I think Marketingprof OWNS the word "know how", i hope you make considerations before dropping it off completely. Without it, the current subscribes might not relate to it, it will sound just like any other random B2B newsletter.

Know how= marketing prof

Know how was the word that caught my attention when i was searching the net for help, thus my first question in the forum and eventually first stop to look for answers ^_^

Just some thoughts.

Good luck!

Hi gang! I'm sorry for being so slow to close this question. Things have been rockin' and rollin' around here! Crazy crazy busy.

We studied ALL your contributions. I printed them out, marked up the list, grouped like ones together, separated names from taglines. Then we here at MP had a big brainstorming session.

Your suggestions helped a LOT to get us going. We ended up settling on a name Allen (our owner/founder) came up with:

Get to the Po!nt
Small business secrets in 60 seconds

We like it for it's punchy/direct tone. You can check out our prototype issues here:

http://www.marketingprofs.com/small-business/archive.asp

We're pretty excited about the new format. And definitely open to feedback. Feel free to email me or post here.

Next up: A targeted seminar series for small businesses launching next month. Stay tuned for more info!

Best,

Val
