As a very small business, Deborah Brody Marketing Communications does not have a large marketing budget (seems a bit ironic). For instance, I have never printed a brochure, but I do have a website. Here are the list of things I do have, some of which are free, for marketing purposes:
<ul>
	<li><strong>Website</strong> (soon to be upgraded...stay tuned): This is the must-have of all must-haves, for the obvious reasons that you need to know that I exist, and without a website, I may as well not be here.</li>
	<li><strong>Blog</strong> (you are here on Wordpress.com ...soon to be integrated to one site): Keeps you informed on what I am thinking.</li>
	<li><strong>Business cards:</strong> printed, in color and double-sided. Well worth the investment. Latest ones were ordered from Greenerprinter.com and are made of 100% recycled paper.</li>
	<li><strong>Twitter:</strong> Have met many people via Twitter not to mention the amount of information and ideas that I have picked up.</li>
	<li><strong>LinkedIn</strong>: A profile on LinkedIn is like an online resume with feelers.</li>
	<li><strong>Google alerts:</strong> I track several topics, and my own name. An invaluable source of current information only topped by</li>
	<li><strong>Google reader</strong> (with a long list of great blogs and feeds): You need to be current in the marketing field...and probably any field. A good way to stay on top of stuff is to have your Google Reader feeding you the latest from the industry's top blogs, etc.</li>
</ul>
What I have that is not a must-have: a Facebook page for my business. This is in spite of evidence that says Facebook is a good place to be for businesses and brands.

What are your must-haves? Let me know in the comments please!
