MAY 2008
Issue: 9
Greetings!

We get so wrapped in our businesses, we forget it's all about  customers. But you can fine-tune your senses by remembering to take a walk in their shoes.

This month's issue is designed to jog your memory. We begin with an article about tapping your website to build relationships. Then, there's a workshop about making your site sticky. Both free and created to help you walk the talk.

Now enough with the foot puns. Run out there and market!

Sorry, couldn't resist the last one,
Robbin Block
Use Your Website to Build Relationships
If you've got a service business (and who doesn't these days?), your website can be one of the most valuable tools in your marketing arsenal. But is your home page doing its job? Are people "bouncing" off your site soon after they land?

If you're looking for ways to make your site more effective, check out my latest blog entry for some useful tips. I'm also teaching a free class on the topic on June 3rd. See below for more info.
