the art of marketing you, marti garaughty

 

June 24, 2007...

 hi everyone. As the marketing group approaches the 2000 member mark, I'd like to thank all of you for your great posts, comments and participation. I'm constantly impressed by the high quality of content being posted and the diversity of feedback, opinions and information sharing that goes on here on Active Rain.

  That being said, I'd like to point out a few blogs that really caught my eye recently. Some are from well established members as well as great stuff from some of the newer faces here on AR.

 The marketing group and Active Rain are becoming more like Google and the web in general. As more and more info gets posted, it becomes more difficult to read everything, let alone find the quality, on topic gems. So in case you missed them, here are just a few of the outstanding posts from the past few weeks...

Marti....  I am just now catching up on some of the blogs. This was great because I need to step up my marketing approach and you listed some great blogs. I am sorry that this didn't get much attention that it fell through the cracks. Maybe flagging it will help some. And lastly, thanks for that mention. I appreciate that.

Ginger... thanks. I've missed being here on the Rain. I got so busy with several large projects and travel to far away places that I haven't had much time to contribute other than keeping an eye on the marketing group. Talk to you later G

Hi Marti...

It really is nice that you have returned to all of this.

It's been a while since I posted anything in this group. I wasn't posting in here because you were M.I.A.

Glad you're back and hope you'll stick around :)

TLW...ROAR!
