Over at SEL today, Matt McGee summarizes the “lessons learned” from four cases studies involving SMBs and online marketing. Matt extracts these ideas from the interviews he’s done:
1.) You can turn the Web into your primary source of customers/leads.
2.) Ongoing education makes a big difference to your online success.
3.) Local search marketing matters.
4.) Emphasizing the visual elements of your business is good marketing
5.) Differentiation is everything.
He goes into detail about what these mean. Great material.

Thanks a bunch, Greg. The column turned out better than I thought — ran out of time to do another case study, so had to go to Plan B. 🙂
