del.icio.us tags: 2008 resolutions

Ben McConnell at Church of the Customer Blog has 10 marketing resolutions for 2008. It's impossible to disagree with any of them, but I'm particularly gungho for #9 ("Raise the ethics bar.") and #10 ("Do what you love.") I like to think that #9 was already my mantra in 2007, but can I make #10 a reality in 2008?

Dave Armano at Logic+Emotion is looking forward to 2008 as well and argues that microsites may not be the way to go for most brands. "If there isn't a steady supply of new, quality content -- then users really don't have a reason to come back and engage." Listen to him, folks. Save your money. Don't presume your customers will come to you. Be creative and go to them. Engage with them.
