MSN.com
Proprietary Search Engine Coming Soon! |
|
Did you know that Microsoft’s search site, MSN.com, is actually powered by Yahoo’s search engine? Believe it! But soon Microsoft will release its own proprietary search engine developed by Mr. Bill. (Note: Mr. Bill decided to develop his own search engine after Google refused a bid from him to purchase them, the #1 search engine. Having billions in the bank gives one a lot of the nerve!). If you would
like a preview of the new MSN.com search engine to see if your site
is listed, click this If you can’t find your site, tell Microsoft. You will see there is a way to do that after you execute a search. Of course, if your site has good relevant content and is search engine optimized for the keyword or phrase with which people are actually searching, not to worry. Otherwise, for search engine optimization and a full Internet Marketing strategy, call Chris at 713.623.6444 or reply to this email. |

When
Profits go to the Prophets
“Today, ideas are the single most important driver in any modern economy – accounting for more than half of economic growth in America and Britain. Ideas, more than the application of capital or labor, create wealth. Intellectual capital is in fact America’s No. 1 export. The ability to create better ideas than the competition is the only sustainable advantage a company can have. The age of the big thinker has finally come – an era when the profits go to the prophets.” - From Advertising Age, July 5 2004 Your Ideas
+ Marion’s Ideas = The Marion Group has thrived for 23 years because we create better ideas for our clients. All of our services express unique ideas specially conceived for our clients, and attractively expressed in multiple marketing media, making our clients stand heads above their competition. It is also a great idea to call Chris

Hispanic
Market Growing Fast Are You Ready for the Opportunity? |
 |
| Marion’s
portfolio of Hispanic clients and clients wishing to reach the
Hispanic market continues to grow by leaps and bounds. |
| CASE 1: Rodeo San Miguel ~ Hispanic Client |
Marion
is pleased to welcome our new Hispanic client, Rodeo San Miguel, located
right here in Houston. They called us after viewing and being impressed
by our online portfolio of Websites, as well as the Spanish version of
our site. (We say that in all humility!)
And we quote their
agent, Francisco, verbatim:
“I have talked to other agencies, and you are the only one who understands
what we need!”
We worked quickly to get the site launched in 10 days. The site will continue to grow and expand over the coming months, with updates once a week if not more frequent!
The
Marion Group can get you complimentary passes to the
Rodeo San Miguel. Just respond to this email with your name
and address and the number of passes you wish. No obligation.
(Limit 2 passes/customer.)
| CASE 2: | MegaMex
Industrial Metal Supply
~ U.S. Client targeting Mexico and Spanish Latin America |
For
about a year and half now, The Marion Group has been helping a local industrial
metals supplier, MegaMex, to market industrial steel, aluminum and nickel
alloy products nationally and to the Mexican and Spanish Latin American
market, exclusively on the Web.
MegaMex.com is in Spanish and English. The company has found surprising growth in the US for a specific portion of their portfolio (surprising because they did not think that they were competitive – you don’t know until you try!), and about 15 to 20% of traffic to their website comes from Mexican and Spanish search engines.
Don’t just sit on the sidelines as the Hispanic market grows quickly; be part of the opportunity!

For
Your Corporate Casual Apparel Needs
|
Sierra
Pacific Apparel Launches Innovative New Site Designed
by The Marion Group
Sierra Pacific is a manufacturer of denim, twill, and stain resistant shirts (among other fine products) used for corporate and business casual wear – the type on which you have your company logo embroidered.
The site has innovations in which we think you might find interesting, but first you have to understand how Sierra Pacific sells their products in what’s called the promotional apparel market.
Manufacturers (like Sierra Pacific) sell to Distributors (like TSC) who sell to Promotional Products Sellers (like us, The Marion Group). End-user companies (like yours), buy from Promotional Products Sellers (again, like us, The Marion Group).
| Noteworthy
on the site:
You can see all these features on the Denim Shirts page. |
To dress your staff in any of the fine Sierra Pacific corporate apparel, remember that The Marion Group is a Promotional Products Seller - so you can buy from us. How convenient! Call Chris at 713-623-6444 or reply to this email.
