Keep in touch with longer-term prospects. I’ve been using postcards for years to promote. I can tell you that it’s more cost effective to sell to a current customer than to find a new customer.

Since 1990 HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language has been the language recommended for writing Web pages in. And it has been very successful (you didn't need me to tell you that). But HTML has its problems. Without going into specifics, as it's not the subject of this article, HTML has become a mess.
