Recommended Marketing Tools for Your Business
Quick note from Karen
|
“Knowing what will work for your business is tough. I know it took me many months – and some time years – to find marketing tools that would help move my business forward, without them costing me an arm and a leg. It’s also important to find marketing tools that will grow with your business, too. There’s nothing more frustrating, for example, to build a database with one system, only to find that 12 months later – as your business has grown – you have to move to another system. That takes time, effort as well as money! All the tools you see here on this page are used by me in my business, CanDoCanBe. They work for me and I whole-heartedly recommend them based on my personal experience, as well as experience from my private clients who have used them too. Do make sure you review each tool, widget and gadget so that they fit your requirements for your business. Some of the links are affiliate links, so if you would prefer not to accrediate me for the referral, that’s absolutely OK with me. Just Google the name of the tool and you will be able to link to their website from there. And if you have any questions about any of my recommendations, just drop me an email at Karen@CanDoCanBe.com any time. Happy to help with any specific queries you may have.” Have fun!

Online Shopping Cart
If you are running events, offering products such as audio downloads or books and building a database using email newsletters and special reports, you absolutely have to have a shopping cart system to manage your business.
A web based shopping cart allows you to delegate the work to manage the system to anyone around the world and with autoresponders, newsletter facility, list building options, adtrackers and affiliate programmes ready to go, 1ShoppingCart is really everything you need under one roof.
Overwhelming to start with if you aren’t technically savvy but delegate the set-up of your shopping cart to a Virtual Assistant who knows the system and you will up and running in a matter of days.
