    Current Trends in Trade Show Display Structures
    Many exhibitors are moving away from the standard 10’ pop-up curved wall display in favor of different uses for the pop-up aluminum frame. The pop-up frame, with fabric panels magnetically adhered to the front with the use of folding, metal channels bars has been the “convenience” standard for over 15 years. Most exhibitors put velcro on the back of their graphics, and then just arranged them on the face of the curved wall pop-up as desired. The pop-ups started replacing the old, folding panel style display in the early nineties, as their portable cases were lighter and smaller, too. The convenience of the pop-up style exhibit quickly supplanted the bulky, heavy flat panel displays then in use.Within the last few years, this technology has

    Thirty percent of all the drinkable water that runs between the plant and your faucet is lost to leaky pipes. In marketing, thirty percent of our business is lost to leaky follow up. Even professional sales people have leaky follow up when they stop after one or two contact points.

    How much business are you letting get lost to your leaky pipes. Here are some ways to tape them up or you may have to replace some fittings:

    1. Do a check up of your follow-up system from the time of precontact to six months later.

    Russia At A Glance - Why Do You Need To Invest In Russia?
    Russia is still an emerging market and the challenges are plenty. However, the country’s economic growth has been remarkable, with an average seven percent GDP growth backed by the favorable energy situation on the world markets, tighter government budget policy, and faster development of other key industry sectors, such as machinery, automotive, info-communication, construction and food processing. The Russian government introduced positive changes into the tax system; including a flat rate of 13% for personal income tax, reducing the corporate tax rate from 35% to 24%, and reducing the value-added tax (VAT) to 18%. Surpassing even some developed economies, Russia reduced its public debt to 13% of its GDP . Finally, Russia’s evolving middl

    The Biggest Problem With Your Marketing Is...?
    What is the biggest problem most marketers have? Who knows. We don't, and they certainly don't either. That is exactly the problem. Most marketers don't know whether or not their campaigns are working because they don't know how to track the results.I can't count the number of people I know who create a marketing campaign and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars implementing it, then don't even bother to track the results. How will you ever know if, when, and why your marketing is successful, or unsuccessful, if you don't see hard data on your results?With online marketing, it's easy to find out where and when your marketing dollars are being wasted. Using online tracking you can:Track how many people respond

    Are You In Or Are You Out?
    One of the most important points I learned, when building my first business as a Health and Energy Coach, was I needed to make myself stand out and FAST. At least this is what I realized for myself, but I then soon came to understand this is the case for all solo-entrepreneurs. We are our business and there are A LOT of us. Standing out is EVERYTHING. If you try to fit in, you’ll blend in. (This isn’t good when it comes to connecting with clients and building an EnergyRICH™ business, by the way.)The question then becomes, ‘How can we each stand out when we’re all trying to do the same thing?’ The answer is easy; the action is what’s challenging to most. The answer is—nobody else can be you! The challenge is—most of us are afr

    The Key To Business Success
    The key to business success is really quite simple. It is your ability to offer a product or service that people will pay for at a price sufficiently above your costs to produce. Ideally you need to price your product or service at three to five times your cost, thereby giving you a profit that enables you to buy and offer more products and services.Before you can sell a product or service for a profit you must find one. You must find a product or service that fills a need or solves a problem for people. It must be product or service that provides a result for people that makes their life better in some way.You may have a million-dollar idea in your own mind. Many people have had the experience of having an idea for a product or ser

    This means that if you e-mail them once or twice there is less than 2% they will read it. People are very busy and even if you put the same message out week after week, there is less than 13% chance that they will even notice it’s the same message.

    And they will need to see it at least 5 times before they will "really" read it. Follow- up is an easy plan, that is, once you sit down and plan it out.

    2. I read a book this weekend, Marketing Outrageously. In it, Jon Spoelstra, puts it so well, "Prepare yourself in writing." Another favorite saying I keep on my wall is, "If it ain't written down, it’s a wish floating in the wind." I don
