How To Waste Money Advertising
They say that fifty percent of your Ad budget is wasted. The only problem is, nobody knows which fifty!Well it's your lucky day, because over the years, I've uncovered many key areas where advertising dollars are squandered, misspent, misdirected and misused.But first, I think it's important to define which advertisers are likely to be the most wasteful.1. Companies that don't use professional media-buying services.2. Companies with in-house agencies that lack the expertise to buy media correctly. They save the standard 15% agency fees, but waste way more in weak creative, poor media planning and overbuying (it impresses the boss to hear or see his company name every 3 minutes).3. Businesses that simply don't use the proper media to reach their tar
The more indebted we feel, the more motivated we are to eliminate the debt. Pre-giving makes us feel like we have to return the favor. Greenburg said this feeling of discomfort is created because the favor threatens our independence. An interesting report from the Disabled American Veterans Organization revealed that their usual 18 percent donation response rate nearly doubled when the mailing included a small, free gift.They say that fifty percent of your Ad budget is wasted.

Business Post Cards: Five Factors To Consider
Creating and mailing business post cards is a logical choice when your small business has a small advertising budget.Here are five factors to consider:1. Your data base list of customers might well be under 500 names.• You can manage this list yourself on your computer and print out mailing labels. And since there are so few names, you won't have to hire a mailing company to affix the labels, sort by zip code and take it to the post office for you.2. Our advantage as small businesses is in cultivating a personal relationship with our customers. This holds true whether your business is entirely local or operates in a special business niche market on the national or international level.• A post card is intimate. Emotionally, who can res

But Do Your Buyers Hear You?
Look, you may have the most important solution in the world for your target buyer, that you just know in your heart…that if you could get their attention…you’d make their life easier and they’d be sure to buy from you.Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. I’ve found that there’s often an inverse relationship between how badly you want to tell your story, and how likely it is that your target buyer will listen.Why? Because I see – time and again – enthusiastic marketers who are blinded by the “clarity” of a solution. Whether it’s the perfect financial plan, the latest technology, award-winning design, or the key to competing with China…none of these “bests” matter, if your message isn’t meeting the buyer where they are in their decision-making process.I cannot

High Altitude Locomotives
When China decided to build a railroad line, which would be nearly 16,000 feet high a special locomotive had to be built to run at these high altitudes, as well as oxygen had to be secured for those passengers and locomotive engineers. This technology had to be borrowed from other sources and luckily there was a multinational corporation, which was able to handle this.General Electric has built the GE C38AChe, which is a high altitude locomotive, which runs at optimum even at high elevations. In fact, General Electric has built 78 of these GE C38AChe Locomotives. Each one having 4000 hp and to they are an engineering marvel of technology both old and new. If you look at the GE C38AChe, you see that slightly resembles a locomotive, but it's guts are state-of-the-art technol
