Your point should be well taken that focused does not mean one medium (print, signage, email, etc) but rather applies to what specifically you are giving your audience.Paul Lamar,

It is good to see someone promoting the idea of focused marketing with measured results in this industry, or any other for that matter. Your point should be well taken that focused does not mean one medium (print, signage, email, etc) but rather applies to what specifically you are giving your audience.

Talk to you later on today... :-)@Susan- Thanks Susan, a marketing plan is definitely a neccessity for any business.@Dick Rosen- Dick thanks for the critique. I knew it was too long. lol I was waiting for someone to point that out. I'll work on that with more upcoming posts.Also, I probably wouldn't take my phone number off of the sign, unless your time is being taken up by answering it. In that case I'd get a voicemail line. You can go to voicenation.com and get one for a pretty good price. Calls go straight to voicemail and your email. You want to give your clients multiple methods to contact you. I know alot of people who can't access internet at home. I wouldn't want to potentially lose their business. @ Christine Hamric- Thanks Chris! Talk to you later on today… :-)
