Satisfying the ‘rebuttable presumption of reasonabess’An ECS reader recently asked about where to find reliable data that can be used to compare non-cash compensation among executives within the not-for-profit (NFP) sector: Compensation Committees need to evaluate this component of the pay package for purposes of satisfying the “rebuttable presumption of reasonableness” under Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code. In this article, ECS Editorial Advisory Board member Paul Dorf identifies a number of potential sources – Ed.The analysis of executive compensation within the not-for-profit organization(NFPs) is relatively systematic in its methodology. The IRS allows for the use of for-profit and not-for-profit compensation data to determine
Here’s the inside scoop on hired graphic designers that aren’t experts in marketing (and most of them aren’t): they’re not involved or concerned in whether the design project makes sense for you, if it will be financially worth it, or what kind of positive results you should expect from the design project. The majority of graphic designers are order takers: you tell them what you want created, and they design it. Now your project may be a success or failure, but regrettably, the artist isn’t as much concerned with this - you paid for a design and that’s what you received.
As a business owner spending hard earned money, you can see this poses a serious problem. If you’re like 95% of business owners out there, you don’t know if the marketing design project is going to work for you or not - it’s a gamble, a crapshoot. Wouldn’t it make sense to have someone on your team that can help you select design and marketing projects that will give you the greatest return on your investment rather than an order taker?

FedEx, UPS and DHL offer guaranteed overnight delivery of documents to locations in the USA for rates of $20.00 - $30.00. There is a guaranteed overnight service offered by these same companies that can cut your overnight delivery of documents/express paks in half. Most businesses are not aware that this service is available and those that do use it almost exclusively for their express documents.The name of this service is prepaid guaranteed overnight delivery service. Each carrier markets this service under their own brand, but the service is basically the same. Prepaid document envelops, legal envelops, and express pak packaging is available. Customers purchase the packaging in advance at a greatly reduced price. There is no weight limit on t

A leather jacket is a waist or thigh length coat made using leather. Leather jackets are made from animal hides and are usually available in dark colors such as black, brown and dark grey.Leather jackets may be worn either for protection or to make a fashion statement. There is a substantial difference between the two types. Jackets designed for fashion purposes may just provide warmth and not safety. Leather jackets designed for protective use are meant to protect the person wearing them from serious injury. A fashion leather jacket is not likely to be of much help in the event of an accident.Leather jackets are not necessarily meant only for special occasion wear; they can stand up to the rigors of everyday life, as well as serve as evening
Do you wish to win a slogan contest? If your answer is “Yes”, it would be very helpful if you spend some time reading in order to understand the definition and purpose of a slogan.As defined by Motto.com, “A Slogan is a short, memorable advertising phrase. When a product or company uses a slogan consistently, the slogan can become an important element of identification in the public’s perception of the product.”As the benchmark of any good advertising campaign, a slogan or tag line is the lasting impression it has on the consumer. A great line can be worth its weight in gold. It often plays role as the brand's core promise, rather than a pithy memorable phrase. A slogan can be a call to action, not only for the consumer, but a

A polo shirt is a polo shirt is a polo shirt. Or is it? When you’re buying promotional polo shirts as a marketing or branding item for your company, there are many things to consider before making your choice. Here’s a quick primer on choosing and ordering promotional polo shirts for your business.What’s It For?Who will be wearing your promotional polo shirt, how often and how long? If you’re ordering promotional polo shirts for a one-off event to be worn by your employees and staff, you can get by with a less expensive, lower quality polo shirt than if you intend the shirts to be your employees’ daily uniforms. Likewise, if you’re giving out the promotional polo shirts to the competitors in a golfing charity event, qualit
As I read these “would you like fries with that” recommendations, I almost fell out of my chair, “Wait a minute! Before we start spending all of this money on design and printing, shouldn’t we first analyze how these projects will affect the client?”
Before breaking open the piggy bank I suggested that the client take a step back and look at what result these investments will really bring in. Here’s what we came up with: these marketing materials are not effective for the business the client’s in, the client is a high-end vendor so coupons will not support the high-end image, and the client gets business from personal interaction with prospects (within the 30 seconds a personal connection is made with a prospect). Bottom line here is this: the recommendations would have certainly helped out the marketing/design firm, the grateful client avoided over $5,000 in costs that would have done nothing to grow the business.
