How to Quadruple the Results of Your Tradeshow Marketing Promotion is a critical leverage point in tradeshow marketing. By applying a modest effort in planning and executing promotional strategies, you can double, triple, even quadruple the results of your investment.

A Note to Readers The Most Elusive Market? The most-read article in MarketingProfs last week was the first of our two-part series by our friend Nacho Hernandez on marketing to Hispanics. It was, by a mile, what my 9-year-old daughter calls the "best-favorite." Clearly, there's a lot of interest in the Hispanic market. The article was picked up by tons of marketing publications and bloggers, including SearchEngineWatch.com, SearchEngineLowdown.com, SearchViews, and MarketingVOX. Actually, the two-part article grew out of a MarketingProfs Benchmark Survey on the breadth and depth of the Hispanic market. But what is the Hispanic market, really? How do you define a group of individuals loosely connected by a more-or-less common language and cultural heritage, but nevertheless divided by country of origin, length of residence in the US, size of the Hispanic population in their area, and a myriad other possible segmentations? Carrie Shearer sums up many of the challenges in an interesting write-up she penned in the recently launched MarketingProfs Daily Fix. In her post, One Size Doesn't Fit All, Carrie offers a brief backgrounder on the challenges of marketing to such a diverse group. Check it out. (And look for part two of Nacho's article, which appears today.) Thanks for stopping by! As always, your feedback is both welcome and encouraged. Until next week, Ann Handley

Five Lessons From the Netflix Startup Story When Netflix launched in the late '90s, most people thought its developers were nuts.

Looking back on Netflix's startup story, one of the co-founders shares five customer-focused lessons that stand out as critical in creating the then-innovative Internet business.
