Casual Articles - Holiday Marketing: Creative Options for Year-end Promotion
When a group of Human Resources professionals and a group of employees were asked the question, “What would increase productivity” the number one answer for both groups was ‘productivity would increase if working relationships were better.’What is often lacking in work relationships is respect. Bosses often have poor listening skills, don’t know how to manage their stress and the result is lost trust, and low levels of loyalty. Employees fight amongst themselves, call in sick when they want a day off and lack the motivation to get the job done efficiently. One of the easiest ways to increase teamwork is to simply start showing respect, and working to earn more respect.Modern definitions of respect include feeling or showing honor or esteem for; and a sec
Many church youth groups plan bake sales to support their programs, summer camp or mission trips. Everyone likes cookies and cupcakes, so why not have a bake sale? While a bake sale might sound like a good idea, here are 7 reasons why may not be the best idea.1. Bake Sale Item Prices - Bake sale items are typically priced quite low. After all, you can only charge so much for a little zippy bag of cookies. Prices generally range from 50 cents to $10 for a cake. So unless they give an extra donation, each person who makes a purchase is contributing a very small amount.2. Impossible Volume - Considering the low price point of items, your church youth group would have to do a lot of baking to come up with enough items to generate a good income at the end of the
We're closing in the end of another year. With the approaching holiday parties, fundraisers, and galas, let alone the reality of tight budgets, you are wondering how you are going to get that Christmas-kwanzaa-channukah-new-year-chinese-new-year card designed, printed and mailed before mid-December. By the second week in December, you've already missed the deadline to order cards from one of the many catalogs that can foil stamp the world with Joy in 12 different languages. Good thing — it would be less cheesy to send each of your clients a cheese log. You could always wait and send a New Year's card after January 1, but I should warn you that sending new year's greetings shortly after the new year is the walk-of-shame of company holiday wishes. By then, offic

Franchising is one of the easiest ways to put up a business nowadays. Everything is actually being set up for you, from the products to the manpower to the materials. All you need to do is actually provide the capital for it.It all seems so easy when you think about it but it is actually not. Although everything is already provided for you, you will still have to find the time to manage the business, do the books and shoulder the everyday troubles of running a business.Of course, compared to putting up your own, it is actually easier but this does not mean that any person with money can do it. You need to have the mindset and the commitment to do it. Although it may not seem so because everything is being done for you, this is still your business and your p
So how WAS your first quarter of 2006? Wait – it’s still the middle of 4th quarter; what am I talking about? One of the things that salespeople and sales managers tend to lose sight of is the factor that time plays in the sales cycle. We think if we work really hard this month that we can pull out a great month, or a great quarter. But, do desperation, last-minute pushes really work? If you’re a professional salesperson, who believes in doing the right thing for your clients and prospects, then the last-minute push will most likely backfire on you. Sure, you could get a few closed deals, but they probably won’t be quality deals; that is to say, sales that are really in the best interests of your building long-term relationships.In the programs we conduct with our
No doubt that most entrepreneurs want to succeed in business and I wont argue that failing is on the top of the do list for anyone. Here are five things you must do to fail in business.1 You must want to become an overnight success. Isn’t it great to hear about some new product becoming an instant hit? Realistically, most overnight success stories take a lot more than one night of work. Think of any popular brand and think how long it took to create it. Even though things can happen quickly online, it takes a lot of testing and trying of what works for your business.2 You must do it all alone. It takes a team effort to make any business successful. Even if you are the only member of your business, be ready to listen to what others have to say, and keep an o
Fourth quarter is a crazy time for most businesses; our time is most taxed. We have a million professional events going on and even more personal ones. In January, the first thing may people find themselves doing is recycling all of those thoughtful holiday wishes. As a designer often in charge of clients' holiday greetings, I have these words of wisdom: No one cares about holiday cards. If you have a customer, donor or client who will be seriously offended if they don’t receive multilingual, foil-stamped Joy from you, get rid of the client. Here are a few creative solutions to the ubiquitous holiday card dilemma; each will make your company memorable and keep you sane.
