  Publisher's Note:

InternetWorld
Last week I spent a few days at the big IW conference in L.A. Fairly sparse crowds, the usual lines of people waiting for free tchockes, and sales pitches & key notes masquerading as how-to sessions. Oh well, welcome to the world of trade shows.

Change the way you REALLY think about marketing. Learn from the faculty at Stanford, and from true "best sellers" like David Aaker and Geoffrey Moore. I'll be there, so be sure to say hello...I'm talking about the Stanford Executive Program that's both fun and engaging. Click here for the details.

How Do I Love Thee? Building a B2B Relationship to Last a Lifetime
With the current emphasis on Customer Relationship Management (CRM), it seems there's a customer love-fest in the making. It's an orgy, almost: Every company wants a close relationship with me, and they want one with you, too. They want close relationships with their business buyers and suppliers. Of course, as the name spells out, what they really want to do is "manage" these close relationships.

If you want to build a forever relationship with your customers, you need to first step back from the rhetoric spewed by technologists to understand what a relationship is, and isn't.

Branding the Non-Profit

How important is the brand in marketing, and to success in the marketplace? Very. Think about it, people don't say they need an adhesive bandage, they say they need a Band-Aid*. They don't ask for a tissue, they ask for a Kleenex*, they don't want a cola drink, they want a Coke*.

To a non-profit organization, the brand is perhaps the most important asset they have. Many corporations actually carry the worth of the brand on their balance sheets; for example, the Coca-Cola* brand is said to be worth $13 billion. However, non-profits are often at a disadvantage when it comes to branding.

To find out what non-profits need to know (and what for-profits can learn) about branding, read on...

Do You Know Who's Killing Your Email Marketing?
Imagine you took a trip to your post box down the road today to pick up the mail. To your surprise, you find nothing. Not one sniveling post marked letter. All you see is just an empty hole in the wall with zip in it. Annoyance would be the prime emotion here. Maybe even a dollop of disappointment.

But what if you found out that all that airy space exists simply because the post office has decided to send all your mail back. Now that would get you in a bit of a boil, wouldn't it? Frothing at the mouth, wouldn't you want to tear all those bespectacled post office workers into little vulture sized meat bites?

And then what if I told you that your email marketing business is going the same way?
