Most businesses have both a strategic marketing plan and a tactical marketing plan, and it is important to keep these two platforms separate.

Ruth Klein writes: "During recession, fear runs rampant. You'll do anything to keep long lines of customers at your door. You might even cut your prices, which would cut your profit as well. It might be wise to think instead "what value am I offering my clients" and then communicate that value."

Sandy Reed writes: "Often the most profound bits of wisdom are revealed in mundane situations. This morning I finished up a bottle of body oil and noticed that it felt really good to know I had used it all up, wasting none of its contents. This led me to think about my life. When I get to the end of my life, I want to feel really good about having used it all up, and know that I wasted none of the gifts inside of me. What a terrible waste it is when any of us leave this world without taking the time to discover our gifts and use them in a way that can benefit our world."

Web based marketing strategies are based on the trends set by traditional broadcast advertising tools: commercials, radio spots, billboards and print advertising. These mediums are effective but broad ranging, which can be a bonus or a setback. These traditional modes are akin to having a newspaper boy stand on a corner yelling "Extra! Extra! Read all about it!" to sell the morning newspaper to passersby. "
