Hub You - The Steamroller Effect
The first postcardsThe first postcards really weren’t postcards as we know them at all. The idea came from envelopes that featured printed pictures. The first card sent post in the United States was privately printed and copyrighted in 1861. It certainly didn’t have anything to do with postcard marketing. Indeed, many postcards first evolved as sort of greeting cards. It wasn’t until 1870 when the first postcard as we would recognize it, was printed. And it was more of a historical issue for the Franco-German War. But marketing is a powerful force, and it only took three years for postcard marketing to get its start.The dawn of postcard marketingPostcard marketing got its official start in 1872, when a postcard advertisement appeared in Great Britain. These first advertisement postcards appeared in black and white, or with only one color. It wasn’t until 1889 that a multi-colored postcard was printed. And even then, because of the expense involved, postcard marketing did not embrace multi-colored postcards.Early hindrances to postcard marketingPostcard marketing did not take off immediately in the United States. It took a while to develop because early postal regulations made it difficult to create attractive advertisements on postcards. Happily, nearly all of the obstacles to cost-efficient postcard marketing have been overcome. Some of the hindrances to postcard marketing included:The expense of quality color printingCould only print the message on one side of the postcard (the side with the picture or illustration)design, that can be protected by patent, trademark or copyright law.

Image hosting is a service provided by websites or Internet service providers allowing users to store photos or images to their servers by uploading them to a website. These photos are accessible to the users by the codes provided by the host. These service providers allow users to hotlink these images to their personal websites, or to use as photos for selling items in newspaper classified ads.Newspaper classified ads are usually not accompanied by photos so advertisers must be creative in describing the product to ignite interest in the buyer. Ads may contain a catchy statement about the product with a carefully chosen adjective or two that will make the buyer call the seller for more information about the product. Sometimes, buyers will ask to see the product and will try to set an appointment with the seller. This costs both buyer and seller time. Imagine having dozens of people calling to see the product! Certainly, it will be difficult to meet with all of them.With the image hosting service offered by this website, a user may upload photos of the items they're selling and just post the specific URL on their ad space to save on advertising costs. It also saves the buyer and the seller time. This type of service may be used for classifieds in national and local newspapers. Because the Internet is a very prolific and highly accessible medium, sellers and service providers will surely receive more responses from their ads. The more interest generated by the ad with the aid of the hosted photo, the higher the chances of closing the best deals. That's mo

“What is my calling?” Do any of us really have complete clarity about our life calling? Even those of us with the knowingness we must teach, write or sing may often ask, “What direction am I to go, now?” How do we answer these soulful questions?Richard Bolles, author of “What Color is My Parachute?” and the granddaddy of the employment industry says, when people are asked what they would like to do they often respond with “I don’t know.” Bolles maintains this is because people interpret the question to be “What am I going to do with the rest of my life?”This question is too big, too daunting, immobilizing people. Instead, remind yourself that the career journey is much like driving a car in the fog. Sign posts arrive at the crossroads and we can reach our destination despite the fog. Instead of worrying ourselves with not having the answer to our career/path questions (that perhaps, can only be revealed as we grow into them) what if we simply looked for the slender threads?Slender Threads at WorkAs Robert Johnson, says in “Balancing Heaven and Earth,” slender threads are about “being in a particular place at just the right time, meeting someone who steers you in an unforeseen direction, the unexpected appearance of work or money or inspiration just when they are most needed… Whether called fate, destiny or the hand of God, slender threads are at work… weaving the remarkable tapestry of our lives.”Tuesday morning I wrote in my journal, “If we had the money to retire right now with all of our needs abundantly me

Now that you've chosen your products, ordered it and received it promptly, what's the next step? The proper distribution of your products spells the success or the utter failure of your promotional products marketing plan. When developing the strategy for the distribution, you should take into consideration its costs over the cost of your promotional product. Even if it does come in a bit higher, try to limit it to an amount that would still ensure you get a considerable ROI. Here are some ways to send out your message:1. Make it a mailer - The easiest method of distribution is to send your promotional product via snail mail. You must exercise caution when choosing this distribution option. Make sure you calculate all the risks. Especially during the holidays, take into consideration the delays that may occur as a result of increased mail traffic. Give yourself ample time to prepare, order and send out the promotional item. One very important factor to consider when sending items via mail: you must know the exact and current address of your clients. This method of distribution is ideal for customers with whom you've already established business relationships. Smaller items like pens, pocket calculators or custom notepads can easily be distributed by mail at minimal cost.2. An exciting event yields exceptional results. Make a blast out of your promotional giveaway day, set up a luau or be in costume. Whatever your gimmick, an event organized specifically for the distribution makes the promotional product even more memorable.
Many business owners in the United States are surprised to find that Intellectual Property rights originated with the Constitution (Article 1, Section 8, Clause 8)(2), which states that Congress shall have the power “to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.”
It seems that even the founding fathers felt that we should have the right to exclusive ownership and use of our inventions, as well as the right to reap the rewards gained by granting permission of use to others.
Protection Under the Law
Today, there are three methods through which intellectual property can be protected. These methods include patents, copyrights, and trademarks.
* A patent protects "exclusive rights to a process, design, or new invention". (3)
* A trademark protects "a name, symbol, or other device identifying a product". (4)
* A copyright protects "literary, musical, dramatic, or artistic work". (5)
The cost of enacting these methods of protection can be exorbitant. An excellent example of the fee for protecting your work is the price tag attached to a patent, which can range from approximately $4
