For the first “Getting Down to Business” of 2012, Dave Weatherholt and I teamed up to talk small business planning. Dave covered some important financial steps every small business should take, while I focused on marketing tips to get your marketing plan in shape for the coming year. I’ve linked to the entire show, so enjoy an hour of Getting Down to Business!
In Alaska, the Pebble Partnership has been marketing into the headwinds, faced with stiff opposition. This partnership is owned by two mining companies and is investigating the feasibility of mining one of the most significant discoveries in North America of copper, molybdenum and gold.
In this marketing podcast, learn how the Pebble Partnership addresses their opposition with a positive attitude and how it can help your business think about your competition. And get some great tips for growing grassroots marketing supporters, too.
In this marketing podcast, I continue the subject of email marketing (with a dash of search engine marketing thrown in). Listen for some great email marketing ideas from both Dave Weatherholt and me.
In this marketing podcast, I talk about word of mouth marketing- the marketing strategy for getting referrals. Word of Mouth Marketing is the most powerful way to get new customers. Why do I think that and what can you do to improve your referrals? Listen to find out!
Recently, my colleague David Weatherholt sponsored a young 4-Her raising a pig. He brought her on his radio show, “Getting Down to Business”(in Anchorage on Fox News Talk 1020), to discuss the adventures of young entrepreneurialism.
This topic inspired me to do my Marketing Matters segment on farm marketing. Just like with 4-H, farms need to keep their marketing fun and creative. I’ve had some experience with marketing farms. My brother’s family owns Legacy Farms Boer Goats, my niece and nephew show animals, and several of my acquaintance are farmers. In my podcast, there are many interesting tips that you can start applying today.
You don’t need to own a farm to enjoy this show, though. I’ve included David’s interview with Grace, the 4-Her, and many of my marketing ideas apply to any small business.
On David Weatherholt’s radio program “Getting Down to Business,” I explored further the concept that marketing is everything. Every interaction customer have with your business affects your brand. But what does “brand” mean?
A synonym for “brand” is “reputation.” It’s as simple as that. Everything you do, whether it be a traditional marketing interaction or not, affects your reputation. To your customers, marketing is everything you do.

Keeping your small business marketing approach current with your customers
You know that the marketplace changes rapidly, and you have to change your business model with it. But how do you know which changes to make? It’s simple. Ask your customers.
In this small business marketing podcast, I discuss changing business strategy with David Weatherholt and Russell Ball. Russell successfully changed his marketing approach- and company name- to fit the needs of his marketplace. I detail how all small businesses can keep their fingers to the pulse of the marketplace by conducting simple, thorough research with their customers.
I joined David Weatherholt on his weekly radio show “Getting Down to Business” to help his listeners measure their marketing. Listen to see how your small business stacks up!

On “Getting Down to Business” with David Weatherholt, we talked about the holiday shopping season and what it means for retailers.
Black Friday has come and gone, and with it, many retailers hopes of enjoying a profitable November. In this podcast, I explain the history of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This year’s performance was worse than last year’s already abysmal showing– consumers spent almost 8% less per person this year than last, resulting in an overall revenue increase of just 0.7%. Black Friday this year showed that we need to revolutionize our concept of how retailing works– for both large and small businesses. Consumers have changed the way they shop.

Dave Weatherholt interviewed me along with Dave Taylor on his small business radio show, “Getting Down to Business.” We talked about marketing fundamentals for small businesses. Dave asked me to discuss how the internet affects small business marketing and how the marketplace has changed.
