Will You Add? - Managers: Let's Call a Spade a Spade!
Relationship marketing uses event driven tactics, but treats marketing as a process over time rather than single unconnected events. This simple concept could offer a guidepost in developing and implementing your business marketing strategy. Every encounter should be viewed as a public relations event. Glitz without substance provides a weak business foundation at best. The primary public relations opportunities are with customers and must be maximized if your business is to survive.The first key area to be addressed is interaction goals. They must reflect the concepts the business seeks to impart in its business identity or in establishing "name brand recognition". This is accomplished by a consistent strategic approach based on the principles of relationship marketing. Enhancement Consulting suggests employing

I don’t know about you, but hardly a day goes by I don’t receive spam emails about grants. Spam that absolutely promises me I can buy a book and get a $30,000 grant, just for being alive on the planet. Spam that assures me there are grants available to pay my credit card bills, start any kind of business, or buy a shiny new car.To some degree, those spam emails are why I established a website devoted to grants. Because I have been a grants consultant for thirty years, I know the truth about grants, and I want to share that truth with you.The truth about grants is a good news/bad news proposition. Let’s get the bad news out of the way first:Nobody is going to award you a grant of $20,000 or $30,000 to spend at Saks, or pay your bills. Nobody is going to give you cash to start a network market
Nothing more, nothing less, and certainly not public relations’ Mother strategy which (1), marshalls the resources and action planning needed to alter individual perception leading to changed behaviors among a business, non-profit,or association’s most important outside audiences. And (2), goes on to help a manager persuade those key folks to his or her way of thinking, then (3) moves them to take actions that allow their department, group, division or subsidiary to succeed.
The management reality behind such an achievement is the underlying premise of public relations: People act on their own perception of the facts before them, which leads to predictable behaviors about which something can be done. When we create, change or reinforce that opinion by reaching, persuading and moving-to-desired-action the very people whose behaviors affect the organization the most, the public relations mission is usually accomplished.
The good news for those managers is that the right public relations planning really CAN alter individual perception and lead to changed behaviors among key outside audiences.

Donors will stop responding to your fundraising letter appeals for many reasons. Some of which you can manage, but many of which you cannot. Use these findings to retain as many of your donors as you can.1. They forget I suppose you could call this a case of “poor institutional memory.” Donors simply forget your institution. They read your letter, decide to give, put your letter down somewhere, and then forget to mail you their gift.2. They get distracted Some stop sending gifts because they get sidetracked by other priorities, such as the arrival of children, or grandchildren. Or a hurricane hits their home. Or mum gets diagnosed with breast cancer.3. They lose interest Perhaps through a fault of yours (you’ve strayed from your miss

According to Alan Kay from Disney's R&D Department: "When you … offer unique value your competition cannot, then you … make headway by giving your ideas away."You can expand your visibility by disseminating information as one of your prime marketing tactics. Don't make the same mistakes most small business people do, and think that the knowledge and experience you have is widely known, on the contrary, you are the owner of a capital asset that others do not possess and have no easy way of possessing it.There are many avenues available to you to present what you know. Trade association journals and newsletters are always looking for articles. What organizations are you associated with? Approach them with a suggested topic.On staying current with your clients, you need to create information tools suc

One of the things that tells you are being successful in your online marketing efforts is an increasing number of emails from nay sayers, spoilers and people who are just down right rude.I recently received one from an IT expert who was independently well off thanks to stock options and profit sharing. He mocked MLM people as "bottom feeders" and said, "I mock MLM as a business model." Probably very easy to do when you're loaded thanks to stock options, etc - just hope his company doesn't go the way of Enron!To be honest I mock most other business models as an inefficient and sometimes down right unethical way to do business. Example one:- Small family in china produces components for a larger company for a tiny margin, large company then sells products to a wholesaler, wholesale then sells it to a fo

You may be such a manager. If you are, try to remember that your PR effort must demand more than special events, news releases and talk show tactics if you are to receive the quality public relations results you deserve.
You’ll be glad you took such a step when capital givers or specifying sources beginning to look your way; customers begin to make repeat purchases; membership applications start to rise; new proposals for strategic alliances and joint ventures start showing up; politicians and legislators begin looking at you as a key member of the business, non-profit or association communities; new (and very ) welcome bounces in show room visits occur; prospects actually start to do business with you; and community leaders begin to seek you out. Your public relations professionals can be of real use for your new opinion monitoring project because they are already in the perception and behavior business. But be certain that the PR staff really accepts why it’s SO important to know how your most important outside audiences perceive your operations, products or services. Above all, be sure they believe that perceptions almost always result in behaviors that can help or hurt your operation.
Go over your plans with them for monitoring and gathering perceptions by questioning members of your most important outside audiences. Ask question
