What Readers Say
I recently unsubscribed to the vast majority of my newsletters because I was receiving too many. But I kept—and look forward to receiving—Marketing Hotspots. The content is quick and useful, which is the perfect combination for me. I often find myself forwarding the e-tip to my clients because it covers topics that are relevant to us. What a great find!

Cat’s Eye Marketing is so consistent with their content and delivery that all the other marketing-related e-newsletters in my inbox are jealous.

When some one or another of my friends asks me for help with their websites, I send them my little collection of helpful links, including Cat’s Eye Marketing’s Marketing Hotspots e-tip for its relevant and easy-to-apply tips, lessons and conversations. There are so many options and possibilities that it can get complicated. It’s great to have the folks at Cat’s Eye doing the legwork and testing to sort things out and keep it friendly for us.

I offer content communication services, so I’m an avid reader of what others have to say online. It’s an ongoing effort to educate myself and, frankly, to absorb the best ideas of others. Week after week, Marketing Hotspots is the best, most informative newsletter that graces my inbox. Whether they’re guiding me on writing compelling headlines or about how to behave online, they have a knack for identifying valuable topics and providing clear, concise and compelling tips. Their comfortable style of writing camouflages their lessons much like the proverbial teaspoon of sugar helps the medicine go down.

The weekly Marketing Hotspots e-tips provide quick and creative tips that you can use right away. I not only enjoy learning from these marketing best practices, but I share the tips with small business owners in my monthly newsletter Downtown News. I look forward to each e-tip.

Not only have I shared Marketing Hotspots issues in my newsletter, but I’ve heard our members mention Judy’s e-tips in their own conversations. They just get us talking. There are two reasons I open Judy’s emails every week. One, they’re always amusing and light-hearted (gotta love that!). And two, they’re crammed full of good information in small bites. Solo business owners face two dangerous demons in their daily walk: isolation and overload. Marketing Hotspots helps to combat that. They make you smile while giving you a few simple, actionable tips. Nice.

Marketing Hotspots is a weekly tip I would definitely recommend to business owners and professionals. Bob and Judy’s kind spirits, helpful attitudes and fun, valuable tips make receiving their newsletter a joy. It is one of the most professionally-done newsletters I receive—and great photos, too! I open every single one and that says a lot, considering how busy my inbox is. Thank you, Cat’s Eye Marketing. You guys are the best.

Bob and Judy’s e-tip is high on my list of resources when it comes to my business marketing. I’ve been a subscriber to their weekly e-tip for some time now and find it packed with helpful hints for running my business better and smarter.
It is obvious that Bob and Judy are passionate about helping the small business owner. Weekly they deliver tangible strategies to help grow my business. I’ve increased my company’s exposure and have attracted clients I wouldn’t have otherwise.
I look forward to receiving the next edition as it is one of the few emails I open straight away. They are both good people I have found that consistently deliver value over the long term. Great work and thanks!

I’ve been a subscriber to Marketing Hotspots for 2 months now, and even in that short time, I’ve come to see the value in the work that Bob & Judy Dunn at Cat’s Eye Marketing do. As a small business owner, time is my most valuable commodity. Subscribing to Marketing Hotspots is like having my own mini-marketing department to cut through the crap—because, let’s face it, in this age of the internet there’s a lot of that out there!— and give me only the best information out there. This saves me time and ensures I’m using my marketing energies in the most productive way possible.
A recent Marketing Hotspots issue focused on five valuable word-of-mouth marketing tips. About 80% of my clients hear about me through word-of-mouth referrals, so the tips in that issue of Marketing Hotspots were especially pertinent to my business.
Clearly Bob & Judy understand the importance of building relationships – and thereby creating referrals – for independent business owners.I highly recommend Marketing Hotspots to any independent professional. You’ll end up wishing it came more often than weekly!

You’re probably wondering, “Why would a Chamber of Commerce subscribe to Marketing Hotspots?” Bob and Judy’s marketing tips have given me terrific ideas on how to promote our Chamber better. They also help me to better assist our members.

Like many folks, I get wrapped up in my business and family life and, all too often, breeze through the flood of emails my office gets. But one email I get weekly, the Marketing Hotspots e-tips, I look for— to refresh my day and give me ideas and insights on new directions.
Each week a new and exciting thought is sent for me to review and, in many cases, implement on the spot. Marketing Hotspots is not cluttered with fluff, but down-to-earth, understandable ideas and suggestions. This is one email that will never be breezed over. I thoroughly enjoy its content and the direction it is helping me go in.

I love receiving Marketing Hotspots and look forward to them each week. I especially appreciate the easy to read format and concise form – I can read it in the time it takes to drink a few sips of coffee and it starts my day with a fresh outlook!
As a busy small business owner my favorite tip so far were your tips for 15-minute marketing. I have put that into practice in my office and am amazed at the results when I focus just 15 minutes per day on one marketing task at a time. Thanks!

As a reader of Marketing Hotspots, I’ve found many great tips on marketing that speak to me as a small business owner on a tight advertising budget. They are to the point and very beneficial in and of themselves, yet they also lead me to other resources that I personally would not have known about had your newsletter not pulled them out of the massive information there is to sort through on the Internet.
As a small business owner, I don’t have time to weed through the many sites that claim to help you with marketing when I can just read Marketing Hotspots and cut to the chase. Thank you for creating this invaluable tool.
I really like the Marketing Hotspots e-letter. It’s not long, It’s not confusing. It has great tips. I never get lost or overwhelmed when I read it. It’s very satisfying, especially when you think about time spent vs. the reward.
