Marketing is changing so fast, it’s easy to get our heads turned by new, high-tech developments. Doesn’t my company need a smartphone app? How should we leverage augmented reality? What about gamification? But, as a marketing consultant who is putting my own theories to the test as I work to drive sales of my first book, it’s become clear to me that many companies have needlessly forsaken some marketing strategies that still have life in them.
Marketers, Go Back to Basics
Innovation is great, but don’t forget to make the most of the tried-and-true tactics.
