[[:encoded, "Great marketing goes beyond traditional marketing strategies. We’re entering a whole new era of online and offline marketing that allow you to market one-to-many for the best results. You don’t need expensive marketing resources to produce great results - here’s where you can get creative and have fun! Here are 10 No-Cost and Low-Cost Ways to Market Your Businesses.\n\nTip #1: Reach Out To Strategic Partners\nStrategic Partners are a complement (not competition) to your business (as your business is to theirs).

Use your business brand or personal philosophy as an anchor to the community and you’ll be providing what no one else can.\n\nTip #4: Update Client Success Stories\nYou may have client testimonials, but do you have updated their success stories? Contact clients who have worked with you and ask them to provide their latest success story by specifically tying at least one piece of their success to something they learned or were provided by your product, program, or service.
