How To Work With Your Design Team
As the Creative Director at JV Media Design, I oversee and manage all creative projects and staff. In order to undertake this task, I have developed an outline for our team to follow that facilitates the process which takes each project from concept to completion. Part of this process involves educating each of our clients on what we need from them in order for the project to move forward.Although some design studios may not be as organized, it would still benefit each client to know in advance what might be expected of them before proceeding with a design job. Successful projects come from not just a talented design team, but also c

Small Business Planning -- Three Myths
Are you -- like 70 percent of small business owners -- working without a plan?Here are three myths that need to be dispelled about strategic planning for small business.1. It has to be formal -- Not so.The value of a strategic plan for your small business is in putting the ideas on paper, creating action steps that will get you where you want to go and implementing those action steps.2. I'm too small -- Not so.Even a one-person business can benefit from a strategic plan. A strategic plan can help you make decisions about time management and budget. You can use your strategic plan to help you determine whet

It was bound to happen again. As soon as the automakers ended their fabulous “employee pricing” program, other incentives would have to be introduced. The American car buying public is hooked on them, thanks to over four years of some of the best incentive plans out there. If you are ready to buy a new car, low interest car financing can work great for you especially if you were planning to purchase your car with cash. Let’s examine some of the current plans and how you can save yourself a lot of money.

Quite a few of the current auto financing plans available at this time involve both 2005 as well as 2006 models. However, the best deals are reserved for the 2005 models because even after “employee pricing” has ended, there are still several slow selling models that need to be removed from dealer lots. These models are the ones most likely needing extra special incentives to be moved out.

Ford: Across the board low interest rates are now being touted by Ford Credit. Exceptions apply to a few new models such as the Fusion as well as to the hybrid Escape SUV. If you are interested in purchasing an Explorer, Taurus, Crown Victoria, Ranger, Freestar, Expedition, F150, or the Thunderbird, Ford Credit will finance your 2005 vehicle at 0% interest for 36 months. This interest rate is only given to those customers with high credit scores, but low interest rates starting at 0.9% are also available. In some situations Ford offers cash back rewards totaling as much as $5000 as an alternative to financing, so get your calculator out and see which plan works best for you.

GM: Like Ford, General Motors is offering reduced rate as well as zero percent financing on a number of cars through their financing arm, GMAC. Zero percent financing is even available on some 2006 models, so shop around for the best deals. 2005 models eligible for zero percent financing include: the Cadillac Escalade; Buick Terrazza; Chevrolet models including the Malibu, Suburban, Uplander, Monte Carlo, and Tahoe; GMC Yukon and Yukon Denali; Saturn Relay; and the Pontiac Montana SV6. 2006 models eligible are limited to several Cadillac Escalade models at the present time. Just like Ford Credit, GMAC reserves the 0% financing for their most credit worthy customers. Other low financing plans are available as well cash back incentives.

Web 2.0 Feels Like Dot-Com All Over Again
The web 2.0 movement is certainly mainstream at this point. A quick look at the VC investment data shows that this is no longer a fringe movement. Having lived through the dot-com experience, running an Internet start-up at the time (which made it through to this day), I have a few observations about this latest craze.The number one objection I have to Web 2.0 is the lack of definition for the term itself. Whenever there is a "buzz" about something people can't quite define, I tend to believe it's not real. Or at least, the idea is still in a formation stage. We heard this in the 90's, "the Internet is changing the very fundamentals

These models are the ones most likely needing extra special incentives to be moved out.

Domain Registration Searches
Domain name registration is similar to registering the name of your newly established business?the name needs to be unique. Unlike a business name, however, you are not legally required to register a domain name that actually describes your website; although it would serve your cause to have a name that somehow relates to your company.Whenever you register for a domain name, your choice is subjected to a countercheck against existing registered domain names. This process is usually free, whether or not you actually intend to purchase the name. You have to understand, though, that if you type the URL address in your browser and no sit

R2-EOC Recruitment and Retention = Employer of Choice
Problems with staffing and retention may not be due to bad hires or a low unemployment rate. In fact, they may be related to poor management insight by not recognizing your employees as a core competency in your business strategy. Although employees may not fit the strictest definition of a core competency, it is a fact that your employees are the ones responsible for creating many of your core competencies. It is an undisputable fact that failure to recognize the importance of employee contributions will lead to failure regardless of your business strategy.Recruitment and RetentionCreating a strategic plan and definitive init

Take Advantage of Credit Card Debt Counseling and Get Rid of Your Debt
We all know how credit card debt can creep up on us. The credit card companies are only too happy to put that plastic in our hands and then the next thing you know, you are being hit with interest on the balances and late payment fees. This just adds to the already high debt and makes it more difficult to get out of. What a vicious cycle.One of the best ways to get out of credit card debt is to start paying it down weekly instead of monthly. There are many advantages to this. It is easier to clear out your balance as you incur it weekly. Interest will not accrue as much since the balance that interest is charged on is lower. A s

Chrysler: Chrysler Financial is not as generous as Ford Credit and GMAC in this latest incentive battle. Quite frankly, they do not have to be. Unlike Ford and GM, Chrysler’s sales are holding their own thanks to popular new models that are being snapped up with or without incentives. Still, certain 2005 models are available for 0% financing for 36 months including all PT Cruiser models and the Sebring convertible and sedan [but not the coupe]. Just like Ford Credit and GMAC, Chrysler Financial has an alternative “cash back” incentive in place should you prefer taking the money instead.

So, what should you do? If the model you want to purchase offers 0% financing or $3000 cash back, you would likely do better to take the cash back and forego the financing especially if you were planning to pay cash for your car. This means that the $23,000 PT Cruiser Convertible GT would cost you $20,000 after your $3000 incentive kicks in. Keep in mind that at this point your car is now a one year old vehicle. Even after incentives you must ask yourself this question: is the PT Cruiser is still worth $20,000 new? Only you and your Kelley blue book will know for sure!

What if you can’t pay cash? Well, foregoing cash incentives means that your $23,000 one year old new car likely will still cost you $23,000 unless you were able to negotiate the sticker price lower before any serious discussions about financing kicked in. Good luck with that! The better plan would be for you to secure low interest rate financing elsewhere in advance of visiting your dealer and then grabbing the cash incentive. Many credit unions still offer very low financing rates on new car loans so shop around for the best deals.

The American public loved the “employee pricing” incentives for one big reason: it took the haggling out of purchasing a new car. Current incentive programs in place mean that the haggling will return; don’t settle for your car’s sticker price before negotiating a cash back or interest rate incentive. Remember, you are purchasing a one year old car and the value of the car today is much less than what the sticker price states. No matter what story your salesperson cooks up, your dealer will not lose money on the sale of your car. Behind the scenes [or secret] incentives from the automaker to the dealer to get rid of slow selling vehicles is something you never see. These incentives can translate into several thousands of dollars so you want a piece of that action in addition to whatever other incentives are in place.

I have noticed that many web sites are trying to portray themselves as if they were a TV network. They put top-notch graphics and sound into their web page. What these companies are missing is that their visitors are not watching TV. This works fine for those with broadband high speed connections. The fact is, most are viewing web site on a screen that is between 15 and 19 inches wide, can only see 216 colors, and can only download at 28.8 kb per second.
