AWARE's Marketing Newsletter
AWARE aims to help clients improve their marketing capabilities and competitive position. Our pages offer ideas and feature items that can help business growth - for example our brief guide to competitor analysis and competitive intelligence.
So that we can keep you in touch with what we are doing we produce an occasional newsletter giving a mix of news about AWARE and more importantly tips and articles on marketing and competitive intelligence related topics.
|
Past topics have included:
- Marketing Value vs. Marketing Values
- Keep your customers
- The three keys to business success
- Identify and use your USP
- Why do people buy?
- Who is my competitor?
|
The newsletter may include an edited selection of problems and answers given from our help service, news relevant to marketing and Internet marketing, site addresses - and dialogue with other subscribers on competitive and marketing intelligence related issues. Some of the material will also be duplicated in our blog which is produced on a more frequent basis - this contains more opinionated material, on marketing and/or competitive intelligence related issues, which we believe are relevant for today's marketing professional as well as advice, comment and suggestions for better marketing practice.
