Simple Marketing News Update - January 2011

Simplify Your Marketing!

January 2011 SIMPLE MARKETING NOW UPDATE

Greetings! How was your January? Have you started to see signs of renewed consumer interest? I was particularly encouraged when Judith Huck from Classique Floors in Portland, OR, shared with me that she is seeing a considerable pickup in showroom traffic in the past month. Is it the same for you?

In other news, I am just back from Surfaces 2011 and still digging out from under...

However, it is still early February so here follows the January 2011update from Simple Marketing Now with posts categorized into Social Media Marketing Resources and Simple Marketing News.

[If you are new to Flooring The Consumer, I also write the Simple Marketing Blog where I discuss marketing strategy and creative, practical, simple marketing approaches and share best practices - many of which may be relevant to you and your business as you consider what's possible. The blog also acts as newsroom for Simple Marketing Now.]
