A Note to Readers Driven by Content Greetings, discerning readers! At least once a week I get an inquiry from a reader asking, “What Content Management System do you use?” MarketingProfs is published by a system hand-hewn by our own technology artisan (and publisher) Allen Weiss. The system Allen built is flexible, intuitive in its use, and able to satisfy the demands of a large subscriber base. In other words, it works well for us.
But I’ve always suspected that there are commercially produced Content Management Systems that would offer a similar level of reliability. And my thoughts were confirmed by Barry Parr, in his recent MediaSavvy entry, “Top Ten Free and Cheap Content Management Systems.” Parr lays out 10 systems that meet several of his criteria: they have to be able to create pages and sites more complex than a blog, they need to be bug-free as well as relatively easy to install and use, and they must cost less than $200. So check out Parr’s suggestions. If you are thinking of creating a content-driven site (and what site isn’t?), Parr’s list would be a great starting point. As always, your feedback is both welcome and appreciated. Until next week, Ann Handley

Lost in Translation? Getting Your Message to an International Audience Did you know that only 28% of the entire European population can read English? The percentage is even lower in South America and Asia. Even the growing Hispanic community in the US still prefers to read in Spanish. This means that if you want to sell your products and services to these markets, you will need to be able to communicate effectively in their languages. Get the full story.

Should You Take Care of Your Customers? There is no doubt that the customer should be at the center of every business strategy. And yet it often seems as if focusing on them is an afterthought, a single paragraph in a business plan, nothing more. Lets’ face it: while the title of this article would make any marketer cringe, it is still common practice to make decisions without the customer in mind… and still be successful. Get the full story.
