Marketing Minute - Quick Tips to help you reach your market
Building your own email list.
I'm known as super-friendly by the people that know me because I'll talk to anyone but, that is also one reason why my own email list continues to grow at the rate it is. If you can't afford to purchase email lists, you need to work on building up your email list in your own way. I average 800 new emails a year and that's grassroots style which, includes networking, events and spotting potential prospects or event-goers throughout the day.
Sometimes you don't realize how many people you pass throughout the day that may be interested in your product or service. If you train yourself to collect one email per day from a person that is interested in your product, service or potential event, you'll increase your list by almost 400 emails per year. Imagine, if you average more than that per day!
The ability to reach a growing audience of interested consumers should always be on your radar. You can also increase your reach through strategic partnerships with organizations and professionals with their own house lists but, take some time to build your own in-house email list so, you can build loyalty, build your brand and keep your prospective consumers aware of the health of your company.

BlackWebPortal
FYI...
As some of you might know, a dynamic young African-American Internet duo, Rob and Roz Rucker have created a brand new search engine and portal site called The BlackWebPortal.com.
The site is designed with African-Americans in mind. Right now their viewer-ship is the low thousands. They need to cross the hundreds of thousands barrier to have any real chance of keeping this site online at all. Some of you are thinking...why does it matter?
It matters because BlackVoices is wholly owned by the Tribune Company; Black Families by Cox Communications; BlackPlanet.com by an Asian company; and Soul City HBO by AOL-Times/Warner.
BlackWebPortal is the only site that is 100% African-American owned. The BlackWebPortal needs all of us to start emailing our friends, relatives, etc., all over the world to start using the resources at the BlackWebPortal. The important thing is that they need help getting the word out about this site. Let's help this site out by visiting and seeing what they have to offer.
So please tell EVERYONE about the Black Web Portal. Don't just bookmark it for yourself. Spread the news!
This is a new millennium! We must begin truly supporting black technology efforts in the same way we cheer on our movie and athletic stars. If we don't, they'll end up having to do the same as other black web sites by getting assistance from elsewhere, thereby losing the original flavor they have. PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD! http://www.blackwebportal.com
