Thanks for asking this question Tracy and welcome to The Marketing Compass. Please login to your MailChimp account and click on Brand / Content Studio / My Logo. It is possible that someone put an older version of your logo in there. If this does not solve it, could you please tell me precisely where the logo is appearing, many thanks.

Hi Marietta, Welcome to The Marketing Compass and thanks for asking this question. Could you please tell me how the markers are displayed when you view the .CSV file as a spreadsheet? For example, is there a column entitled: Ability
…or something similar?
When you imported the .CSV file MailChimp should have asked you what you wished to do…[Read more]

Yes, I like these choices, Chris. The next step would be to choose one of these and write a draft press release. Write about 300 words. Make it interesting. Make it factual. Each paragraph should stand alone (as the media often edit out entire paragraphs). Include a comment from yourself. Share it via our website and I will provide feedback.

LinkedIn is the world’s largest online network for business people. It can be used as a networking site in order to build your contacts. If you have products or services that are relevant to business people, you can use LinkedIn to help to create more awareness of what you do and, where appropriate sell to LinkedIn members.
It is an important…[Read more]

Here are the steps:
* Campaigns / Completed
* Replicate the campaign
* Edit Recipients
From there, you will see a Paste Emails option.
(Resend to non-openers would not work with new email addresses).
I hope that this helps.

Thank you, Nigel. Very helpful.

Could I book into the SEO advanced please. Chris

Thank you Chris and yes, you are on the list now. We will send you joining instructions prior to the event.

Yes please Nigel for SEO advanced on 27 May (not that I have mastered SEO basiscs yet!)
Thank you. David

We have added you to the list, David 🙂

Hi Chris, We also use Gmail and we see these messages quite frequently. We always mark our own emails and those of members as ‘safe’. As far as I am aware, it shouldn’t make any difference to your MailChimp results.

Hi Chris
I think that you should launch a PR campaign.
PR (or ‘Media Relations’) is an effective way of generating brand awareness and interest. I know something about it, as I ran a PR and marketing services firm for nine years.
I am going to get this started for you by referring to you and your company within one of our press releases. We will…[Read more]

Hi Nigel, thats a real gem thank you and something I’ve never paid any attention to. Ok, so far I’ve drafted a media list it has about 8 publications on it, and research into further outlets is ongoing. I’m ready to start on step 2 and this is where I begin to scratch my head! I’d like to take you up on your offer of help regarding creating…[Read more]

I will have think and get back to you about PR stories, Chris!

Hi Nigel, thats fantastic, thank you very much.

Hi Chris, Please login and take a look at a blog that I have written with you in mind: ‘Press release ideas checklist’
Not all of the ideas apply to you – however – quite a few are relevant!

Hello Nigel, I found these press links – thank you! David

(I have emailed you as the links won’t be accepted on here – too many, it says! 🙂

Thanks for sending me the media contacts, David. I suggest that you store these contacts and add to the list (ideally within your CRM) over time. I think that PR could be a great way of generating brand awareness for SME Strategies.

Very interesting, David and I enjoyed reading this piece.
I think that you need to have a more dramatic opening.
Something like: ‘What has JS Bach got to do with your business?’
I also think that you should connect this piece with what you do.
‘Having a third party to talk to can make a big difference to the way in which you think about your…[Read more]

Thank you Nigel – very helpful
feedback. I had a “quarter” wondered about both points but was unsure/lacked confidence to to do so. I will now adjust accordingly! Thank you!

Thanks David. My blog records show that I started blogging within nigeltemple.com in February 2012, however I had been blogging externally prior to that. I have written several hundred blogs. I notice an increase in website traffic whenever I publish a blog. I cross reference Google Analytics Audience figures against blog titles. The more specific…[Read more]
