Your Yellow Page Ad Has a Fatal Flaw!
I’ve been designing Yellow Page ads for the past 25 years. During that time, I was a YP rep and consultant and, prior to that, had my own advertising agency. I also have a degree in marketing. So I have expertise in YP creation and have advised almost 7000 companies on how to put together the most effective YP ads. If you have a display or in-column ad, regardless of size, color or position, I can guarantee you that it has a problem. It might be in the headline, artwork, body text, placement, book, or heading(category). So, how can I be so certain?It’s the laws of probability and human nature at work. To begin with, there is no such things as a p

Organisations which fail to prioritise their projects and activities in alignment with their goals risk getting lost in a mire of directionless activity instead of taking a clear set of actions to reach a goal or goals.Most organisations build an inventory of projects and activities over time, which are not visible to the leadership team.

Wood Contract Manufacturing
According to the US Forest Service, one third of US land -- about 302 million hectares -- is forestland, and one fifth -- about 200 million hectares -- is timberland. Forestland is the number-one type of land use in the US. Both forestland and timberland contribute to the industrial manufacturing of wood products.Traditionally, wood has been put to extensive use for home-building products such as doors, windows and furniture. Besides this, commercial purposes include manufacturing items such as boats, although synthetic-fiber-reinforced materials have been gradually replacing wood.

Being a Great Boss
Are you one of those bosses that people just love to hate? Maybe successful, maybe very intelligent, maybe organized and moving forward but just can't get along with people. Communication and other people skills are as important to the success of your business as your talent, knowledge and entrepreneurial drive. After all, you cannot do it all by yourself and you need good people.I remember being a very arrogant and egotistical program director back in the mid 1970's when my boss called me into the office and flat out told me "Mike, you got talent and drive but you need to learn some diplomacy". I'll never forget that meeting. This mentor taught me things lik

How to Choose the Right Paper - Part 1
Choosing the right paper for your project is more complex than just picking the most expensive sheet and keeping your fingers crossed.In fact, you shouldn’t think about choosing paper based on the highest quality available, or the highest quality you can afford. Rather, you should figure out the most appropriate quality paper for your needs because most appropriate equals best.The point is -- no one sheet fits every project. Paper is complicated. It is three-dimensional and, in addition, no two print jobs are ever alike. The ink coverage, batch of paper, and moisture in the air -- all will affect the production of a printed piece.We’ve compiled
