A Note to Readers

Advertising on a Shoestring (and a New Video Series)

How many of you have had found yourself talking with a friend who interchanges the words "marketing" and "advertising," as if it’s the same dif? It's happened to me a lot.

But recently when it happened, I started thinking that most of the money spent on marketing is actually directed toward advertising, so maybe the conventional ignorance is not so ignorant after all. Maybe, in the end, the best marketers are really just the best advertisers.

All of this is thinking is particularly timely, as advertising is the star subject of the next in the Small Business Marketing series. Join us for Advertising on a Modest Budget this Friday, October 12, at 3 p.m. eastern. As our host Michael Goodman will explain, advertising is probably more important, and represents a larger share of the marketing budget, for small- and medium-sized businesses than for larger businesses. The leverage from advertising for a small business can be tremendous.

The series has proven to be extremely popular, even with marketers in some larger corporate environments. I hope you'll join us!

p.s. This week, we introduce a new short video series for marketers, produced by Matt Dickman in association with MP. This week, Matt explains RSS – what it is, and how it fits into your business. The video is part of a regular "Whiteboard" series in which Matt deconstructs technologies that marketers should understand (but often don’t).

I'm excited about this series – Matt has a gift for making complex technologies decidedly less so. In other words, he speaks your language. Watch the video here. You can also subscribe to all of our future videos by clicking the "Subscribe" button on our new "MarketingProfs Channel" here.
