How Does Location help with Marketing?
It is a great question; surely you would just want to splatter gun your marketing message all over the web and hope that a pure numbers game worked in lead generation.
Surely if you send 30,000 emails regularly then someone is going to buy something, or at some point get in touch.
The old saying chuck enough MUD and some of it will stick, well if you keep throwing it, surely the numbers will grow.
Ok there is a real problem with this mind set, and most working in marketing know that this approach is no longer going to work, especially for a new product or new business.
