Too much to do, not enough time.  This week is amazingly jam packed with events, and opportunities.  Today is the First Day of Spring, a time of great optimism with renewal.  Birds are being to chirp, and trees are trying to awaken with blossoming buds. 

There was the great annual celebration of St Patrick reminding all of us how lucky we are, and can be, when we focus "on the green" each and every day in our business.  But the biggest event of the week was...

...March Madness!  Yes, college basketball's annual tournament celebrating streaming video to your desk top so you can still be productive, and not miss the games. It is a wonderful time in which we live.  May your next marketing effort be as successful as the three big events of this past week.  Here are three tips to help you spring, into green, with the fervor of business madness: 

Use Viral Marketing to your advantage.
Viral marketing allows you to spread the word about your company and product with little to no costs involved. This is a marketing method where you can attach your company’s name, product or link to specific media such as a funny video, entertaining game, an interesting article or a gossip or buzz. With this method, people get infected with the creativity and entertainment of the medium and will pass it on to friends and other people.

Write Articles that can lead traffic to your site.
Submit articles to sites that mirror subjects that appear on your site. For example, if you sell car parts write press releases and articles about cars and car parts. Attach a description of your site and services at the end of the article as well as the link. Encourage readers to provide feedback through your link.

Create and offer free newsletters.
When many people know what you are about and your existence is shared with many others, you will find loyal traffic that can provide you with referrals for more traffic through your newsletter. If you arouse the curiosity of your subscribers they will be motivated to help you with your traffic. A newsletter provides a forum for introducing new ideas, messages, and comments when done correctly.

And as always, we welcome your comments.
