I found myself polishing my resume several times a year. If I felt an activity I didn't enjoy was vital, I'd outsource it. I decided to outsource telemarketing, for example, because I only have to think about making a cold call and my palms begin to sweat. However, if you're struggling to get business, you may not have the cash to splash around. Both of these activities cost little, yet can get big results.
Permission marketing can be easy to implement.
In its simplest form, you send out an email newsletter to your customer database once a month, containing news, helpful information and small adverts for your products and services. If someone has already purchased from you, chances are they like what you have to offer and will buy from you again. A newsletter shouldn't take more than a couple of hours of your time once a month, and you should see an increase in sales almost immediately. Remember that permission marketing means exactly that - you must ensure your customers have given you permission to market to them. Viral marketing is a little more difficult to implement.
