Greetings I hope you enjoy the new format of the Business Owner's Newsletter. It's simple and includes resources. My goal is to provide you with information and resources that will help you thrive in your business.

Promotion & Marketing

1. Promotional Tip: Consider a cross-promotional partnership or event. If you need to gain exposure, find another business and create a partnership or an event. The options are endless, you can host a contest, sponsor a family in need, even host an awareness campaign for something meaningful, like caring for the elderly. You can hold a cooking contest or an online conference or webinar. The key is to share resources and do something bigger than you could do alone.

Also, If you haven't done so already. Pick up a copy of the "New Rules of Marketing & PR by David Meerman Scott. It's a good resource for your business library.

Business Helping Business is a place where one can go to post a need that they have such as someone to help with a website, or advice on how to manufacture a certain item. You can also post something that you have that another business owner can use. People are really helping each other out. That's the spirit we need right now! (http://www.businesshelpingbusiness.com)
