The Marketing Group Membership is Now Free

The Marketing Group has been transformed into a free of charge, international, interactive, online networking resource

[UKPRwire, Thu Aug 13 2009] The Marketing Group, the Nottinghamshire based, international business for business, business networking group has announced the launch of a totally interactive online community resource. This has been designed to enable individuals and businesses of all sizes to combat the challenges of the current recession by assisting them to improve the quality of their strategic planning and marketing output.

The Group was formed in 1992 at the height of the last recession. Over the intervening years it has been successful in achieving its objectives through a mixture of face-to-face meetings, conferences and a web based learning resource.

In the current recession, it the Group Executive agreed that The Marketing Group ideals were still relevant but that the format required to be fine tuned, the site content reviewed and amended to become much more user friendly.

This has been achieved through sponsorship from Ambient Consultants who kindly underwrote the cost of the consultancy’s time and software requirements.

The result is a totally new, fully interactive, online resource for students, business managers and people just interested in the marketing process. Novices can network with marketing professionals and improve their understanding and awareness of the techniques that can be used to make them, or their organisations products, stand out from the crowd. Marketing professionals can network with their peers to ensure they remain up to date with the latest business and marketing practices across international markets.

Individuals, students and business managers wishing to registered as a member are able to complete their profile details, add their photograph and personal and business information and then enjoy member benefits entirely FREE of charge. An upgrade to Premium Membership costs only £30 inc. VAT for a 12 month period. Premium members are able to expand their profile and enjoy many other additional benefits.
