A LinkedIn group of professionals discussing marketing ideas and marketing tips to help small business owners and non-profits with the magic of marketing: the creative ideas. This group offers you a beginning—a starting point. It will not do the marketing for you, but it will help you build your game plan. Within this group, you will find real solutions to the marketing mystery. Some ideas are simple, while others are more complex. Some ideas you can implement for free, while others will cost. Regardless of which ideas you use, remember that all of them merit consideration. Some concepts up for discussion may include:

* branding,
* outreach,
* public relations,
* social media,
* recruiting,
* selling,
* training,
* networking,
* design,
* advertising
* event promotion,
* online marketing,
* fundraising,
* public speaking and
* communications.

Inform, Innovate, Inspire.

What are your business values? Do you share them? Here are mine.

I wrote my business vision and values when I created my first business plan more than 20 years ago. Then I forgot about it. Though I didn't think about it, I lived it. Now I realize the importance of sharing values.
