No Such Thing as TMI in Marketing

In marketing, there's no such thing as too much information. You can't know too much about your market and your marketing environment. Here are just a handful of tried-and-true sources of information to check as you plan your marketing for the remainder of 2009 and beyond:

• US Census Bureau (ramping up for 2010 Census)
• Stateline (state-by-state news about economy, business conditions, legalities, more)
  
• GeoHive (country-by-country population statistics and infrastructure info)
• U.N. Global Development Statistics (social issues, environmental concerns, and more)
• Free Lunch (and you thought there's no such thing? Here you'll find all kinds of free economic data, but you have to register to view what you want)
• FTC (Stay on top of what's happening at the Federal Trade Commission)
