Marketing Over Coffee Winter Newsletter

Lest we be accused of being complete and total Scrooges, we’ve got four things for you in the holiday edition of the newsletter, none of which are what we promised on the show would be in the next newsletter.

1. We’re posting newsletter #2 with the OPML file for those who missed it on the blog as we do with every newsletter. Our reward to you, the kind folks who actually open and read these emails is getting the newsletter content first.

Get the list:
http://www.marketingovercoffee.com/2009/12/16/marketing-over-coffee-newsletter-2/

2. We’re creating a Marketing Over Coffee community member directory and want you to register yourself in it. We’ll publish a Twitter follow file/guide once everyone’s registered or on January 1, whichever comes first.

3. If you missed it, here’s the complete list of the 12 Days of Marketing Over Coffee. We’ll be turning this into an eBook in the new year, but figured a helpful link collection will get you started.

We’ll be doing the award selections before the end of the year, so get your nominations in by 12/23.
