Celebrating Entrepreneurs ‘Do It Yourself’ Marketing Month?

Remember the power of word-of-mouth marketing.

Upland, CA (PRWEB) June 19, 2006 -- June is Entrepreneurs "Do It Yourself" Marketing Month. It's a perfect time to learn about one "do it yourself" marketing technique that is especially helpful for entrepreneurs and professionals on a budget: networking.

"Networking is very much part of the 'do it yourself' approach," explains Dr. Ivan Misner. "While I believe some traditional marketing is necessary to build a successful business, networking is one of the many things you can and should do yourself to seek business success."

Misner is Founder and Chairman of BNI, an international referral networking organization that helps businesses and professionals cultivate success through word-of-mouth marketing. He also pens Entrepreneur.com's monthly "networking" column.

"Marketing isn't just about sending out flyers or producing brochures," observes Misner. "It's about connecting with prospective customers. And nothing is more effective than referral networking -- also known as word-of-mouth marketing -- for making that vital connection."

Word-of-mouth marketing is as inexpensive as it is invaluable. Other than the cost of printing business cards -- a vital networking tool -- and joining a referral marketing group like BNI, the word-of-mouth route generates more business per dollar than any other option.
