The art of educating your audience
By Kalon Huett, Managing Editor

Rarely will you hear a story about a new product that was so innovative and so necessary, that it attracted attention from the moment it hit the market with little marketing to get sales rolling in. Effective marketing connects great ideas with eager buyers.

What should you do? Be useful; be personal; provide a lot of value; convince your audience that you are the expert. And only then…try to sell. Read more
