It is Monday morning and you need to remind yourself about all the kinds of marketing activities you have to take care of this week. Much of this you have to do yourself so you have 2 choices: think about all the possibilities each time or have a reference checklist. I have always found it useful to keep this reference checklist of various kinds of activities, channels and mechanisms available and handy for use…
