Quotes from marketing trade publications
"Bete's strategy is one the PR industry can learn from."
-- Interactive Public Relations
"There are still things you can do in print that you just can't do online," Bete says.
-- Web Content Report
"You need one outrageous hook," Bete says. "Don't spend too much time writing and not enough time selling."
-- Ragan's Media Relations Report
"Of the first 158,000 e-newsletters Bete sent, 58,000 (37 percent) resulted in click-throughs to the Web site."
-- Association Publishing Magazine
"Adding guerilla e-marketing techniques to a print and PSA program created a one-two punch at a price that no one could refuse," says Bete.
-- Interactive Public Relations
"Bete says he learned to be upfront with your offer" and that "personalization doesn't mean using personal information."
-- ClickZ Marketing Case Studies
"Bete reports an estimated savings of $18,000 so far."
-- Interactive Public Relations
"Bete captured the e-mail addresses of 30,000 alumni -- up from only 3,000 several years ago."
-- Web Content Report
"Don't just cut the number of words, cut the number of ideas" suggests Bete. "If you're trying to make 10 points, cut your speech down to the top five. You can always post the other points on your web sites, and tell attendees to visit it for more great information. "
-- Toastmasters Magazine
"Tim Bete says most of his TV and radio interviews have come from his own direct pitches to producers."

What others are saying about Tim...
“Tim has a unique ability to understand your product, service or industry and then understand your client's need. He needed little direction from me and provided a piece that catches the eye of everyone who sees it and more importantly catches the interest of my target prospect. When my prospects pick up my sales piece, they become immediately engaged. The reason for this is that Tim does not produce what I call 'navel gazing' brochures. His work speaks directly to the client -- in their language -- about their needs, their fears, their hopes. Tim provides great results and an amazing value.”
-- Carl Brown, President,
Impact Marketing
“Tim was very responsive to our needs, he was creative and engaged in the process -- was very nimble when we had to come at the issue from a different angle. He also asked probing questions to understand our message and tailored it to what we needed and added some great suggestions to move our project forward -- the writing was superlative -- I highly recommend Tim.
-- Sara Woodhull, Chairman of the
Board, Involvement Advocacy
“Tim is creative, focused, quick. His marketing skills are strong, and he excels at e-marketing. On that of that, he's a joy to work with on projects.”
-- Teri Rizvi, Associate Vice
President for University
Communications, Univ. of Dayton
“Tim is an exceptionally creative marketing and communications professional. He would be someone I would welcome the opportunity to work with again.”
-- Vicki Giambrone, Vice President,
Marketing and External Relations,
Dayton Children's Hospital
“Tim Bete is smart, savvy, funny and responsible. In Texas they would say he's a good man to go to the well with.”
-- Dan Andriacco, Communication
Director, Archdiocese of
Cincinnati
“Tim always brought lots of creativity to the table. His editing, copywriting and presentation skills were brilliant. He is a very talented individual who rolls up his shirt sleeves to get the job done in a timely manner.”
-- Rosemary Walker, Corporate
Circulation Director/List Sales
Manager, Peter Li Education Group
