I have an online travel agency and would like to market my services to Retirees and Baby Boomers, since they are the people with the most time to travel and cruise. Are there any groups out there I can contact directly about my services?

I recently opened a small boutique in Manhattan and want to know what are the free ways to market or advertise my business on line. I use Craigslist and CitySearch, but no such luck. Is their a website like myspace that can attract local shoppers?

I writing a business plan about online booking system for a travel agency, how can i find out about the market segmentation of an online traveling agency booking system? is there any website or sources that shows and gives these data about market segmentation of online traveling industry in previous years and coming years? or i must estimate it by myself?

We worked with one major company so far and our work was featured on one of the major online marketing publications. Although this is still minor, we are a really small rich-media design boutique, I feel confident about our group’s skills and really want to grow. So we look to rich out to more clients. Is it a common practice to look for marketing executives’ contacts on major web sites and reach out to them with direct service offers? For me this sounds like a little too harsh type of contact, but are there any alternatives? Thanks!

One of the things that the majority of folks most often misunderstand about finding an internet mentor to help them out is they tend to think they have to pay enormous sums of money for a consultant, a coaching program or some other such thing…do you find this to be the case?
