Well, Directors of Marketing know tools can make their jobs so much easier – and are always seeking out the best tools for the job.

Is it time to take a marketing risk? Blog post: http://bit.ly/1Jk9t8y How do you feel about taking risks? Scared? Exhilarated? Totally put off? When it comes to growing your business, you need to be comfortable taking some risks, or you will become stagnant in your growth. Truth be told, most risks are just perceived – something in your head that is blocking you. Sure there are financial risks or life-and-death situations, but the risks I am referring to are the ones that require a leap of faith. I believe these aren’t really risks, but extensions of a fear of failure.  And when you don’t take action because you are afraid to fail, you are stifling your growth. Breaking through your fear of failing and these perceived risks are important exercises for strengthening your marketing. To help you overcome your resistance to risk taking, I want you to do a small activity. Check it out in this week's marketing strategy.

Improve Your Marketing Through Benchmarking Have you ever looked at another entrepreneur’s business and/or life and thought: “Wow, I wish I had her success!” I know I do. It’s a natural reaction, believe me, as long as it comes from a place of learning and love. Think of this analogy (one taught to me by my business mentor): If you want to move up the ladder, you have to look up and see who’s already there – and learn from them. You won’t get up that ladder by looking next to you, or below you. So, look up the ladder and find entrepreneurs you can learn from. The process is called benchmarking.

Infusing Your Personality Into Your Online Marketing Online marketing gives entrepreneurs a unique opportunity to share their personalities with a larger audience. When you share some aspects of your personal life with your online audience, it allows them to get to know you better, which leads to trust (which leads to sales). Many entrepreneurs, though, are not sure which aspects of their personality and personal lives to show. No one wants to throw back the curtain completely on her personal life. So, how do you balance sharing your personal interests – enough for people to get to know you – while maintaining some level of privacy?
