(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 08, 2008 ) London, UK — Stephen C Campbell MBA, MSc, MCIM, Master NLP Practitioner has recently published (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0018RKXLA) a no nonsense look at the marketing process which anyone can grasp and utilize within a short period of time. The book deals with various aspects of the marketing process such as The Mathematics Of Marketing and Channel Marketing and; has been classified as an outstanding resource for the Small and Work From Home Business Owner as well as the Seasoned Entrepreneur.

Campbell (http://www.stephenccampbell.com/) is well placed to give advice on Marketing Strategies having conducted business in over 20 countries throughout Europe and The United States and the Far East and; now works as an international business consultant assisting businesses to define and improve their marketing processes and strategies. He and his team has developed significant expertise in Internet Channel Marketing – i.e. the skill of using the internet as a primary marketing channel to build the brand of a company, business owner and to drive offline revenues.

Recent reports (PR-USA.net - Singapore, May 5th 2008) states how “Recruit.net’s marketing strategy evolves targeting social media micromarkets with job channels” demonstrates how the internet is continuing to play an ever growing role in the marketing strategy employed by any company. The reports goes on to say “The collaboration with Ping.sg will help Recruit.net to add to its impressive list of places of where job seekers can search for their ideal jobs, across countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan and New Zealand.” further demonstrates how Campbell and his team are on the bleeding edge of using the new technologies along with more traditional marketing techniques to drive business forward.

The Marketing Mastery publication (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0018RKXLA) also carries chapters on Building Brands and The Internet (as a marketing channel). The book is timely as many small business still have not set the time aside to develop a coherent marketing strategy and many are still confused when it comes to incorporating the new technologies into their overall business strategies.

I have met with a few prospective clients over the past weeks, there is a standard process which I go through when determining if I am the right person to be working with the customer, and also to determine whether or not the customer is in the right place to grasp and implement some of the World Class strategies which I will introduce them to should we work together.

As in 9.9 times out of ten, I find that people launch their business being very good at producing their product or service - however, they often have very little idea about marketing, the marketing process, terms such a market segmentation and category marketing. I take some time to explain some of the most basic concepts of marketing and as I have spoken so many businesses I cannot recall how many it is always interesting to see when the fact that marketing and business strategy is a skill and discipline. A discipline which is to be learnt through education and action, just like any other skill ye; it is amazing that people stake their whole future on running a business and it never crosses their mind to spend but a few thousand pounds on working with an expert to developing their marketing strategies to help them grow their business in the years to come.

It is my desire to increase the number of consultant in our company and to get the message over to more and more small and work from home businesses that, Marketing is the Heart and Soul of their’s and any other business.

If you are running your small business, read as much as you can about the process of marketing and even better, get in touch and let’s talk about how I can craft a world class marketing strategy with full Internet Infrastructure Development to take your business to the next level.

Let me know if you have any thought,

To your success,

More and more I am incorporating the use of the internet as key component of the business strategies of the companies I do consulting work for. The point that I work to get across to clients is that they should be using their internet presence to act as equity for their business. What do I mean by this ? Well, most companies (small work from home businesses as well as the large corporates !!) may well have a website but it actually serves no purpose in terms of acting as realy equity for the business. In many cases the website actually received no or very little traffic as the business owner’s concern is with having a website as opposed to incorporating the internet presence into the overall company’s business strategy.

We have the world class expertise to create information products (we have many, many of our own) and to drive traffic to the website. Below is an example of one of the products we have created for ourselve in a ever growing and popular market niche :- (for the best clarity watch the video by clicking here [it may well take some time to load])

As I mention business strategy, that leads me on to another point - most of the small businesses I come across have no business plan or marketing strategy. At times company’s may put a basic plan together in order to get money from the banks but this is not the same as having a coherent market focussed business strategy dealing with components such as :-

• Ideal Client Profile
• Channel Strategies
• Branding
• Category Marketing

…. and the list can go on. I cover this and more when I work with clients and even provide a service where we create information products which are complimentary to their core ‘bricks and mortar’ business and give them the strategies to bring visitors to their main and auxiliary websites. After all, what is the point in having a website if noone ever visits the site to see what you have to offer ?

Many of the small work from home business I consult with have little or no internet presence.  By that I mean; even if they do have a website - it may as well not be there as it receives little or no traffic; and in cases is not even indexed in any of the major search engines. Any traditional small business (whether you be a make up artist, woodworker, plumber, clockmaker or massage therapist) is leaving on the table by not building a long term business strategy (most do not have a strategy at all !) which includes using the internet in its appropriate marketing channel.

Building a strong foundation and presence on the internet will mean that you build your brand, it will open up the doors to customers and partnerships on a worldwide basis and lead the business to the path where it is generating revenue whether the owner is working or not.

One of the best and most effective things any small business can do is to start running and operating a blog as a part of the overall business strategy. This will include having the blog hosted on the company’s own servers (more on this in another post) and a long term plan regarding the posts that will be added in order to educated the world and build an online relationship with potential clients.

Another things that traditional businesses are not wary of is of the revenue that is generated annually from the sales of digital information products. The point here is that I am yet to come across anyh business which was not able to create a series of digital products (such as one I created for my own business here ) which can be sold over and over and over again.

To cater for the large need in the market place I ahev extended my standard consulting program to include the design and development of a full scale internet markey system, 1 month worth of four intensive 3 to 4 hour strategy sessions and then the continuation of driving traffic to the wesbite using tried and tested internet marketing strategies. We use these strategies to manage our portfolio of over 100 websites. If you like to know more, and have an interest in taking your business to the next level and connecting with people in your field the world over - please do get in touch.

To your continued success,

Essentially I have condensed hours and hours of consulting time down into a short article from which you can glean from and build on the content. Blogs are being used as serious Business Building and Brand Building tools and the sooner businesses and in particular small business start using blog as part of their overall business strategy the quicker they will build their online presence and see an improvement in their revenues.

The businesses which set themselves apart from the rest are the ones which constantly innovate and implement creative sales and marketing strategies in order to ensure that the company’s product and services get to the end user based upon the actual profile of the end user customer.
