@Angeline – That’s very true, and press would be number four on my list, but it didn’t make it into my top three because it doesn’t expand or scale as you increase your investment into it with the end goal being to produce sales. After a short period of time, if you do not have anything new to report about your business the ROI will flat-line. Also as you alluded to, there can be difficulty with targeting the message and content.

However it does would be listed as number four on my list simply because, say you’re published on Techcrunch.com or NYTimes.com–you’re reaching those of people instantly. Some of them can refer your product/ service or who are potential buyers themselves.

Matt,

In regards to selecting a scalable method that works, my top three would be, 1. SEO, 2. Email Marketing, and 3. Press. Although press can be a hit or a miss, I think as Lawrence stated if you have a consistent message, it can prove to be low cost high return. Of course the high return is depended on several factors a few being, proper targeting and execution.

Matt, Great post man. This helped me think more through some of the sales models that we use with my company. It can be hard finding that balance between scalable models and cost-efficient models. I think that the most important part though is to have a consistent delivery of the message.
