Old school marketing for old school clients – For all of us who are technology driven, this is a nice wake up call; not all of your clients will know what “web 2.0″ – “twitter” or “rss” is and they also won’t respond to marketing that doesn’t seem “normal” to them.

Article marketing has been used by professionals for nearly as long as mass print has been available. In paper-print form (as opposed to online forms), article marketing is utilized commonly by business owners as a means of obtaining free press space. A local business provides useful content to the newspaper free of charge, and in return the newspaper prints the business’ contact information with the article. Because newspapers and other traditional media are expected to present content on limited budgets, this arrangement is generally advantageous for all parties involved.
