Marketing Help?



I own a small business. I need to reach people in research labs. What is the best method. Should I go with email campaign, magazine marketing and if so (should that be a general magazine or a scientific one), or what other types of marketing would you suggest. Please let me know you experience with marketing and I am open to all suggestions that don’t cost a lot. Also, the people that I am marketing are all over the US and are mainly in large universities

Should elected officials use private email to do state business? ?



From Alaska Daily News:

“[Governor] Palin routinely uses a private Yahoo e-mail account to conduct state business. Others in the governor’s office sometimes use personal e-mail accounts too.”

Even before the McCain campaign plucked Palin from Alaska, a controversy was brewing over e-mails in the governor’s office. Was the administration trying to get around the public records law through broad exemptions or private e-mail accounts? Activists, still fighting to obtain hundreds of e-mails that were withheld from public records requests earlier this year, say that’s what it looks like.”

Gov. Sarah Palin is using flimsy grounds for withholding potentially embarrassing e-mails from a political supporter-turned-critic.

Former Republican candidate Andree McLeod has appealed the governor’s decision to withhold or redact some e-mails and other state records. She’s seeking the records in a dispute about the Palin administration’s recruiting and hiring decisions.”

What do you think: Is it okay for state officials to use private email accounts to conduct state business?

Are you willing to join a campaign like this for a tv show like Moonlight?



1 of the things we’ve been doing for quite some time is writing directly to CBS to say “I’m a loyal Moonlight viewer but I don’t count in the Nielsen ratings you use.” Letting them know how often we watch the show on tv, online, DVR, Amazon, TIVO, iTunes. International Moonlight fans have really taken to this campaign, since their viewing definitely does not effect the Nielsen ratings. Write a quick email saying that you are from Canada, France, Brazil, Ireland, Australia, England, Italy, the Middle East, etc along with your viewing stats.Be heard as a Moonlight viewer!CBS contact info…
