  18. 15 - Localize the campaign

  19. 16 - Ask Fans to Promote You • Word of Mouth marketing is by far the most effective. • Not controllable, but it can be initiated. • If you don’t ask, fewer folks will talk about how great you are. • All it takes is a request, but a reward can spread the flames.

  20. 17 - Don’t Be Afraid To Be Creative

  21. 18 - Content Marketing Strategy • Spread your intellectual property, not just your marketing message. Consider some of these methods: • Columns in corporate newsletters. • Take home flyers of helpful tips for schools. • Creating an RSS feed for sites to include your content on their site.

  46. 43 - Rewrite the leader’s bio • Use simple English words and expression. • Convey a sense of personality in the bio • Get people interested in the company because they feel something about the leader.
