Advertising Tips-Stop Wasting Your Advertising Dollars
I am not a fan of junk mail. However, there is a HUGE difference between junk mail and direct mail. Direct mail brings in sales, junk mail gets tossed in the garbage. I want you to learn the difference and how direct mail can be created and used to bring you new sales opportunities from a narrowly focused target market that it up to 15 times more likely to buy your product or service than if you were using the shotgun approach.One of the most common sales tactics that any media representative will use when trying to sell you advertising is the number of people who read their publication, hear their radio station, watch their shows, etc. What they don't tell you is how many of these people have no interest in what you are selling.

Branding Your Own Beauty Care Line? Get Your Artwork Straight
There is a buzz phrase circulating throughout the hair and skin care industry, and it has nothing to do with the latest beauty craze coming out of Hollywood. However, it does have something to do with Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and P-Diddy. What's the connection? Everyone wants their own hair or skin care line.It's called Private Labeling. What is Private Labeling? It's simply having a manufacturer create products for you that you can brand yourself. From high end salons and spas to small country stores, private labeling offers merchants the opportunity to shape a beauty line and put their brand name on it. It's a very creative process that enables you to have a signature product line.And now you want in on it. That cou

Last night I was at my computer and a Skype chat window opened up with a link in it from a stranger. I clicked the link and was taken to one of those "You would have to be crazy to pass up this business opportunity" sites. You know, the kind with great testimonials and it seems too good to be true possible outcomes. All it takes is a few hours a day and you can be pulling in thousands of dollars! Wow, sounds great. Of course there was no mention of what the business actually is.

Call me paranoid but if an opportunity has to be hidden that makes me suspicious. The sales copy is alluring, the testimonials seem to come from real people just like me, and the financial incentives are extraordinary given how much time they claim is required for success. It's all just a little too good to be true, and worse still you can't even judge for yourself because they won't tell you what the business is unless you sign up for more hyperbole marketing materials.

I sent back a message to the person that sent me the link stating that the message appears an awful lot like SPAM and I prefer it when strangers say hello first on Skype rather then just shoot me a link. The person responded and we ended up having a conversation which was filled with more and more claims of how amazing the system was, how other people were making so much money with it etc. I said I was quite happy with my income and lifestyle and I wasn't interested. The conversation continued with more and more sales pitching. I was even once accused of being crabby and told I was probably unhappy because of the way I had

Advertising Helium Balloons - How About Promoting Your Company in the Air?
If someday while going for a drive you come across a huge balloon floating in the middle of the sky, don't be amazed or come to the conclusion that a child has lost his balloon. It is the latest way of advertising an event, product or company. We all know that advertising takes different measures to attract customers and patrons. So how different is an advertising balloon?Well, advertising balloons are inflated with helium gas, which is a colorless odorless gas, lighter than air and is preferred over hydrogen because of its non-inflammability.You can choose from the wide number of advertising balloons available in the market, which comes in various sizes, shapes and colors, like:- Cold air inflatables - these balloons can be

The Management Team Section of the Business Plan - Don't Just Include Resumes
Even the best new concept or existing plan will fail if executed poorly. The Management Team section of the business plan must prove to the investor why the key company personnel are "eminently qualified" to execute on the business model.The Management Team section should include biographies of key team members and detail their responsibilities. It is important that these biographies are not merely resumes that include the educational backgrounds and previous job titles and responsibilities of the team members. Rather, biographies should highlight the most relevant past positions that the individuals have held and specific successes in each. These successes could include launching and growing new businesses or managing divisions of establ

It's all just a little too good to be true, and worse still you can't even judge for yourself because they won't tell you what the business is unless you sign up for more hyperbole marketing materials.

Don't Confuse The Message
One of the worst mistakes an advertiser can make is sending mixed messages. I'm always paying attention to advertising and marketing to see how others attempt to get their message across in 15-30 seconds. After-all, the human attention span isn't getting any greater, and we're overloaded with messages on a day-to-day basis so we weed out almost everything anymore. That's interruptive marketing at its best. What happens when advertisers confuse the message and stray from the core of what the business actually does?A prime example today of a mixed message campaign is Rally's Hamburgers, a southeastern based burger and fry joint with dual drive through windows (one on each side of their facilities) which used to be headquar

rials.

The conversation continued with more and more sales pitching. I was even once accused of being crabby and told I was probably unhappy because of the way I had responded to the original message. The chat had all the ingredients for a flame war which is never very productive so I wished them luck with their enterprise and killed the conversation.

Good Customer Service Rules

I've worked in customer service for quite a few years. I've never had significant formal training and usually stuck to my gut instincts, intuition, logic and empathy to guide me through. This technique has served me well and safely negotiated plenty of potentially "heated" moments with angry people.

There are two simple rules that I believe are at the crust of good customer support:

Treat the customer as a human being and,

Remove your emotions - don't take anything personally

Online communication can often get very intense quickly because people feel less inhibited due to the lack of face-to-face interaction. People hide safely behind their computers and may never meet the person they are communicating with so they feel safe to rant and rave. Text is also a very poor medium to communicate with. It lacks emotion and is very easily misinterpreted. It's amazing the emotional reaction people experience or how quickly they can form judgements about other people simply from words on a screen.
