Two Great BtoB Articles...One on IT Marketing and one on SMB Marketing

Ok, I have to be truthful I am quoted in one of the articles ("Breaking through to lucrative IT market" by Roger Slavens) but it's still a "must-read" for anyone in technology marketing. It does, in my opinion, seem to hit the nail on the head!

The second article in the Sept. 11 print edition of BtoB Magazine that caught my eye is "Experian study quantifies 'small businesses'" by Carol Krol. Given Arketi's own deep research on SMBs for Interland (now Web.com) I found this a solid read -- and one that gave me some interesting ideas.

I am sure every other article in this issue, as usual, will be great...but these two just jumped out at me...Have a look for yourself.
