When you throw a pebble in a pool, ripples form. The heavier the pebble, the more ripples. The more ripples, the further they reach. To keep the ripples going you have to throw another pebble and another, and another.
Promoting your business works in a similar way. You need to repeatedly send messages (pebbles) into places (pools) that can connect you with the audience you want to reach. Each member of that audience has its own network. That’s where the ripple effect comes into play. Your message placed before an audience can reach places you never imagined.
To promote your business you need plenty of pebbles and some good pools to throw them into. As a Wire member you’ve already found a good pool full of potentially valuable contacts. Contributing to the WIRE e-newsletter is an excellent way to start throwing those promotional pebbles.
