  1. This is a really good list. I totally recommend “The errors you must avoid”. Though there are much better ways to market online, I still highly recommend using business cards to add that personal touch to your prospects.

  2. Great list, thanks for the links!

  3. Nice article and good list. As you indicated, video testimonials would be a major selling point for every business. However, there are some major hurdles in getting video testimonials.

    1. People are shy in front of the camera for giving video testimonials.
    2. The infrastructure involved in arranging and recording a video testimonial is harder than the usual methods.
    3. The logistics involved in arranging all the parties associated for the video testimonial is also difficult.

    Also, the available methods for asking testimonials and testimonial marketing are somewhat cumbersome. I would like to direct you folks to check the website http://www.invouch.com, a new service that helps in collecting, storing, managing and broadcasting testimonials. They have an easy way to ask and collect testimonials to enable good testimonial marketing experience.
