How to Market Start-Ups and Small Businesses -– Inc. magazine blog features less-is-more Cocktail Napkin Marketing Plan

San Francisco, CA-- Robyn Levin, http://robynlevin.com creator of the Cocktail Napkin Marketing Plan, recently shared tips and strategies with Howard Greenstein, author of Inc. magazine’s blog, Start-Up Toolkit for Entrepreneurs. His latest article, “Marketing – Keep it Brief” reiterates that sometimes, less is more. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

A movie magnate was once quoted as saying “If you can’t fit your idea on the back of a business card, you don’t have a clear idea.” Brevity is popular these days – try Twitter. And then there’s the somewhat timeless metaphor – entrepreneur writes out her ideas during a meeting on the back of a cocktail napkin – and success soon follows. There’s entrepreneurial wisdom in brevity.

As a marketing and PR veteran for over 20 years, Robyn Levin found the Entrepreneurs and start-up marketing teams she was coaching were missing a simple way and brief way to create a focused marketing strategy… Clearly, there’s limited space, so there is only room for core ideas. Less, in this case, is more.

Levin’s e-book and CD – the Cocktail Napkin Marketing Plan http://cocktailnapkinplan.com – is a marketing template that allows an entrepreneur to create a one-page marketing plan simply by answering a series of questions about his or her business.

Professional speaker and author Joanne Black says she responded to the questions and, “In less than two hours, I created my marketing plan with specific quarterly goals that were simple, straightforward, and achievable.”

Levin wanted to create an easy-to-follow, powerful marketing template for the millions of small business owners who need help growing their businesses cost-effectively. She says, “Not every entrepreneur or self-employed professional has the time or desire to learn marketing but they absolutely need a roadmap to profits.” Her one-of-a kind marketing template will help entrepreneurs and small to mid-size businesses:

*Raise funds
*Increase sales and brand awareness
*Discover free and low-cost social networking strategies
*Get more leads and clients.

The template generates a custom plan that provides the business owner with a 1-year marketing to-do list and quarterly strategies that fit on a napkin.
