Your market research depends upon correct information and can eventually lead your company to a substantial growth.

When I think of marketing, I think of a campaign that is geared and focused on a demographic. Advertising seems to be like casting out a large net and hoping to catch something good. It has a wider spread and a larger audience. I think anyone can advertise, but more thought and planning goes into marketing.

Both are shots in the dark if not properly thought out and executed......

I am wondering why you couldn't think up your own forum post. I understand that you are trying to build traffic to your blog but atleast give credit to Laura Lake at about.com for writing it.
