Pause and review the evolution of marketing in the table and infographic below.  Antique marketing tactics can still work but the once powerful tools of the past seem slow and clumsy.  Slow and clumsy can be effective but ten times the work and more expensive.  Just as the old hand saw can get the job done, the new chain saw soon puts the old woodsman out of business. 

Is the true barrier of the old woodsman who sticks with the old hand saw the tool?  Or is the real barrier to success related to an open mind and applying the five essentials to business success?

This infographic serves as a reminder and checklist for your marketing plan.  This information is not to inspire you to drop a marketing / communication tool because it is decades old. 

Certainly do not shift 100% into the newer marketing tactics and drop the old because you are weary of the old.  The successful guerrila marketing plan includes several marketing methods working in tandem and ALWAYS measures results.

First consider thie table as a marketing checklist and learn more details about the history of marketing in the infographic.
