In the long term, the ailing organisation needs to build a strong brand name as it will help to strengthen the company’s future prosperity. The American Marketing Association defines a brand as a name, term, sign, symbol or design or a combination of them, intended to identify the goods or services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of competitors.Customers can only remember a limited a number of brands in their minds. Brands help the customers to remember the products. Thus, when you think of Mercedes, it suggests luxury, success, prestige, fast speed, well engineered, customer service par excellence and good resale value in Singapore. When you think of Volvo, you think of safety, thanks to the solid-as-a-tank bodywork. When you think of Nike, you might think of Michael Jordon or “Just Do It”. When you think of Hamburgers, you may recall McDonalds, soft drinks, you think of Coke and fried chicken, Kentucky Fried Chicken.Customers are attached to the loyalty of the brand rather than the company’s name. A brand is merely an idea and the only place that it exists is the mind. Logos, tag lines, designs etc are only the physical expression of a brand. Companies with powerful brands can command a price premium and have a competitive advantage. To build the brand name, you need to define an idea that is relevant to your target audience and next develop programs to best communicate the brand message to your targe
Years back the novelty of receiving an advertisement in your mailbox was such that any direct mail pieces were not only looked at but mulled over. Not so anymore. The term ‘junk mail’ was coined sometime since then and I’m sure you’ve thrown out your fair share of unread pieces enough to understand why. So, what can you do about it as a marketer? How can you ensure you get the biggest bang for your direct mail dollar? Now more than ever, you have to understand how to put together a direct mail piece. More than ever you have to really target your mailing to go to a specific market. And more than ever you need to be patient and learn how to campaign – because that is the key to success. Don’t get me wrong… direct mail is not dead – and I don’t see it dying any time soon. It is still the quintessential part of the largest company’s campaigns. Because it works.
In this article I will teach you some of these three topics:
• Designing a direct mail piece
• Targeting your specific market
• Campaigning
A Great Design
Many people think that the quality of any graphic design is determined by how aesthetically pleasing it is: Although making the card look good is important, this couldn't be further from the truth. The only true measure of any design, at least commercially, is "How well does it pull?". By pull we mean what type of response does it elicit? Does it pull in calls, or pull people into the store? In essence, does the design accomplish what it set out to do?
From this fact it is not a reach to come to the conclusion that the merit of a graphic designer is based on the performance of his or her designs. You may be able to put together the most beautiful ad that the world has ever seen, but if it doesn't make the phone ring it isn't worth the paper that it is printed on.
You need to make designs that are not only attractive but, more importantly, that get the response needed to turn a profit. You want to ensure people see your ad and want your services. In short, if the ad doesn't make you any money, it’s not a good ad.
To BE or Not To BE
Easy. Say there is a monkey loose in your office and you can't seem to get any work done. The only solution is to catch the little distraction and FedEx him back to the jungle that he came from. Question: How do you catch a monkey? You have to get into his head, think like him. You have to “BE” the monkey to find out what is going to bring him close enough for you to catch him.

You have to learn how wholesale prices can vary so you can know when you are buying at real wholesale prices and not what the supplier wants you to believe are wholesale prices.Is finding products at wholesale prices difficult? The answer is no. It’s not difficult. The difficult part is getting them for “real” wholesale prices.What do I mean by “real wholesale prices”? Well, most suppliers will know in the first 20 seconds if you are a seasoned buyer or just starting out. They will price their merchandise accordingly.If you are buying wholesale products to sell on eBay, to stores or out of your home it’s all the same to them. They will have up to 10 different “wholesale prices” for the same items.Even experienced buyers and large established business pay too much on their wholesale products. So don’t expect to know more than them when it comes to buying at real bottom wholesale prices.I got my first introduction into the wholesale product pricing in one of my first wholesale consulting gigs. I was going over the prices of their best selling products to see the profit margins when I was impressed with just how low the price of merchandise was. Or so it seemed to me at the time.As part of my job I visited all the wholesale trade shows around the country comparing prices. This is when I noticed large discrepancies in pricing for the same exact items.Walking from booth to

Commercial property, industrial units and offices are becoming more and more valuable to their owners. Whether bought to use by the owner or bought to let to other businesses, the value of these units and offices have huge potential for long term capital gain.Every business whether service based or manufacturing needs premises to operate from and this is what makes industrial units and commercial property so valuable. Owning a commercial property gives a business a major advantage. It increases the value of a business hugely and means that a company has a valuable asset which can be used in various different ways. Firstly, owning and using the property eliminates rental bills incurred when a company has to rent their industrial unit or office from another company. Secondly, the business has a sellable asset which can be turned into capital if necessary. Finally, the business can create revenue by renting out all or part of the unit to another company.Industrial units and offices can vary hugely in size and design. From small 1000 square foot office space through to 30000 square foot industrial units encompassing storage space, offices, workshops and manufacturing areas. The offices and units can be used simply for storage and be very simple in design and facilities, consisting of merely shelving, lighting and a lockable roller shutter door. On the other end of the spectrum the commercial property can be multi faceted and consist of purpose built reception and office area

Human beings on the other hand are extremely complex. Then you add in the fact that the mailing list is targeted and it can get quite challenging. To help you answer the question of what you should say in your ad, you should use three things:
• Reasoning
• Experience
• Research
Take an unrelated subject to your own industry – sometimes it’s better learn that way. Pick something. Say you have an upscale Italian women’s shoe boutique. You want to appeal to women that like that sort of thing. Get in her head. What would make her want to buy from you? Remember, she gets bombarded with advertisements every day. What can you say that really draws her in? How about “Tired of Wearing the Same Styles as Everyone Else?” Have a graphic that supports the message - show a fantastic pair of shoes or better yet a good looking woman with a great pair of shoes on.
Now pretend you are a family man or woman with a household income of the $75k with revolving debt of $15K and you’ve got two kids! Kids can be pretty expensive. So, why would you like to refinance?
Find a Specialized Mailing List
If there is one thing I can’t say enough it is that the most important part of your mailing campaign is your mailing list. It is vital that you put the right amount of energy into learning about lists – who to mail to – so that your mailing efforts aren’t wasted. There are a few different ways that you can get an adequately targeted list.
As always the first step is to determine who your target market will be. Say you want to market to homeowners. Good, now we have narrowed it down to only 291,324 people in your area. As a minimum, your mailing campaign should send to the same names three times. So all you have to do is send out 873,972 postcards at $0.185 per piece & you get the point. We need to narrow it down some more.
So how do you accomplish the narrowing of your list? Many factors can be considered, including age, gender, zip code, annual salary, profession and number of children are some of the more common qualifiers. It may take a while to figure out what combination works for your specific product. Don’t worry about political correctness when considering whom you should mail to. It is perfectly acceptable to test certain lists that may be considered "stereotypical". Many times these lists will work well. But you never know until you test them.
