So how many are embracing the green movement deeper by using recycled paper for literature or no paper and just posting information on web sites?

Are we seeing the increase in natural inks like we did in early 90's?

Just looking for a gauge since I am now located in KY rather than on the West Coast.

Curious How To Establish A Web Site's Value?

For starters, you can use this excellent tool, http://www.dnscoop.com.

Simply enter the domain address and you get a nice laundry list of key information from various source, in just one click such as; Domain age, IP Information, PageRank Value (if it's real or fake), Alexa Ranking, BackLinks, Domain List on same Server and a Text Link Ads Value.

I just stumbled upon this tool while searching online one day, it saves time and gives a great start point if you are considering the purchase of a web site to assist with search engine marketing, Internet marketing objectives or to establish a link value for web site monitizing.

I would love to hear about other web site tools that assist with determing a value for a website.

Rev Up Now thanks all of their clients and seminar attendees for a wonderful 2006! We look forward to 2007 and the new challenges of the ever changing world of serving customers and finding them with you.

Remember Great Customer Service is one of the best relationship building tools you have as a company, work it because several are forgetting about it. Solid service to customers takes effort and isn't as much fun as some advertising and marketing gigs, however it's the real stuff and customers reward it.

Lead Mining is what we coach our clients to do, to grab new potential leads in places where competitors aren't hanging around. This requires a good understanding of the target client profile and creative brainstorming from experienced business professionals.

Rev Up Now, llc has been successful in delivering creative marketing programs that grab the attention of target customers and closing the loop with killer call to action methods. Debbie Newhouse, Managing Partner of Creative Marketing, will be featured in an upcoming International Guerrilla Marketing book, where unique examples of creative marketing approaches had sales leads pouring in and best of all, they were the hot "qualified" leads the client wanted.

Key questions to answer when planning and brainstorming new marketing programs that will increase qualified leads are:

1. Can you compete directly with main competitors in terms of resources?
2. Where do the target clients spend time?
3. Where can you reach your target audience with the least amount of clutter and direct competitors?

Once you have the answers to these questions, you can start to plan your best method of attack. Stay tuned for part 2 for more methods of Lead Mining.
