Re: Advertising, Marketing, Lead Generation Ideas?

I recently read a suggestion that in our industry we should spend 80% of our marketing budget on farming leads from our existing and past customers and the other 20% on what ever wild as* idea you want to fall in love with. Bottom line is, do good work, make customers forever customers and you will be on a path to success. I thought it was a good suggestion. mike
