elusive part of the marketing question.

and track everything possible.

Measure EVERYTHING - If it does not PAY
It does not Stay!

want to make this year?

success of marketing efforts in 2012?

look for a Million dollars this year if
you only netted $30k last year.

Apples to Apples & Oranges to
Oranges
