  Publisher's Note:
You Talk, We Listen
In the most recent MarketingProfs survey, a bit of which I shared with you in the last issue, you asked for more articles on branding, email marketing, advertising, and understanding relationships.

Well, friends, dig into this week's issue for Kristine Kirby Webster on branding, Mark Brownlow on email marketing newsletters, Kimberley McCall on advertising, and Paul DiModica on selling and building relationships. Sean d'Souza is back with some fun stuff about presentations, too.

As I said, you talk, we listen.

As always, your feedback is both welcome and encouraged.

Until next time,

However, most companies spend little time, attention, or money on internal marketing and branding, such as making sure employees understand the brand and communicate it well.

Can your choir preach? Click here to make them sing your brand's song.

5 - PR Isn't for Press Release
It's time again for someone to stand up against press releases. This may sound like sacrilege from a PR guy. Lots of business people, and probably your friends in the media, think writing and issuing press releases are all PR flacks live for.

But when creating an effective public relations program, press releases may be among the last things you need to worry about. Nor does a string of press releases issued on a weekly basis mean you have a publicity program.

So how do I remove the press from my publicity? Read the release...
