Venmark International Blog Offers Tips for Small Manufacturers and Distributors

WELLESLEY, MA--(Marketwire - Feb 28, 2012) - Steve Stroum, the founder and president of Venmark International, has introduced a blog for small business owners, especially small technical and industrial manufacturers and distributors. Recognized by leading media outlets for his expertise at creating superior product news releases on behalf of Venmark's clients, Stroum writes about his vast experience as a business owner, sales-marketing manager, and publicist.

The Venmark Advantage Blog includes: business thoughts about starting and running a company, marketing articles about sales and branding, the value of publicity for companies today, and clients making news. According to Stroum, "I was inspired to write this blog by Mike Kempkes, a great client who refers to me as a 'honey bee' for pollinating clients and sharing helpful ideas during our regularly scheduled meetings."

"I've been working with many clients for over 35 years and have observed those who have done things right and others who haven't. This is an opportunity to reflect on some valuable lessons learned and share them with other small businesses. I learned long ago that one simple idea can spawn amazing results," said Stroum. In order to get the most publicity for his small business clients, he had to make certain Venmark International became recognized by media outlets as a product news source.
