I will be conducting a live teleconference over at the Quickbooks Community site next Wednesday, August 29th at 1pm PDT. You can enroll for the call here Small Business Teleconference Call

The format will be pretty wide open so go on over and submit your marketing questions today.

Intuit is quietly putting together some great small business resources with the QuickBooks Community and JumpUp initiatives. This trend by companies such as Intuit, Dell with SB360, HP with Blogs, and AMEX with Open Forum to create communities with great small business content far beyond company product use is really encouraging to see.

I chatted on the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast with Eric Groves, Senior VP of Sales and Development of Constant Contact, an email marketing service that caters to small business.

The firm has really embraced the idea of making email marketing and list management as simple and professional as possible and their leadership position in this space is testament to their success.

We focused on a recently added product feature called ListenUp! that allows users to create and distribute surveys to their lists. Surveys are a very powerful way to get feedback, test ideas and stay in touch with your reader and prospects.
