"Ten Tall Tales of Traditional Marketing That Cost You Tons" Tall Tale #9 “You can’t mix business with pleasure” By Jimmy Vee & Travis Miller

We’ve all heard this one, right? And since marketing your business has always seemed so daunting and confusing, how could it ever be pleasurable anyway? But when you start to apply smart marketing principles to your business, you will start to have fun. You’ll have fun because it will become easy to get customers and you’ll be making money without sweating about how to get business. And when you have fun, so will your customers, and that will cause them to return and to tell their friends about you.

But that’s only part of what this essay is about. The real point has to do with your actual marketing messages. When you finally have customers asking you to market to them, be sure to give them more than just marketing.

Far different from your web site, your direct communication with your customers (or prospects) should not focus only on your desired output. It should focus on them. Your messages should help them begin to see a resolution to their pain. You should begin forging a quasi-personal relationship with them. Rememberrepparttar pie analogy? Bake your pie with love.
