By Justin Caldwell - Marketing can be confusing for small business owners, especially when it comes to the internet side of things.  There are all types of marketing out there for small business owners to take advantage of but which one do you choose?  Some of the more common marketing initiatives are print (including yellow pages), direct mail, TV, and radio.  I tell my clients that if you can see a return on your investment then keep that vehicle in place.  The biggest thing I stress to my clients is that internet marketing, even though it’s the most cost effective is not an end all be all and that in today’s economy we must stay vigilant when it comes to promoting our companies and our services.
