  2. I Marketing - the process of promoting your business, product, or service, so that others are aware of its existence. Marketing an internet presence presents different opportunities and challenges that a “brick and mortar” business does not have. II. Marketing Methods A. Press conferences - a press conference can be called by a business to announce important news about the business. The business would invite as many media persons as possible that would be interested in covering the news. A press release would be issued to announce the press conference. This is generally FREE advertising, but it is important that the message would be one of news, and not a sales promotion. Example: Nike holds a press conference to announce that Pat Riley will be their new spokesperson replacing Michael Jordan.

  3. B. Announcements in newspapers and on TV. These announcements are made when it would not be practical to hold a press conference. There is no cost for this form of marketing. Example: The commissioner of baseball is pleased to announce that Barry Bonds has been named the Most Valuable Player in the National League this year. C. Handouts and Flyers - handouts and flyers are advertisements that are posted in various places or handed to people as they attend events. The cost involved in this would be for creation of the flyer and printing cost. Sample on next page.
