    The Untold Secrets about Incorporating by a First-Timer who Learned Late
    Have you ever wondered what it means to be incorporated? If it’s really worth the time and money.... and anyway, just how much time or money might it cost? Is it for me or my business? How do I do it? And lastly, why haven't I heard about this before?Well, the chances are you HAVE heard about it, but what you heard scared you off, or was erroneous. Until now, maybe you have not even done any personal research. You picked up a rumor or hint or innuendo here or there.. but that’s about all. No ACTIVE pursuit.. and again, probably because what you heard may have just discouraged you from even spen

    Why You Should Use Direct Mail
    With the explosion of the Internet coupled with the rising cost of postage many businesses simply no longer use direct mail as part of their marketing. If you’re just marketing online you are missing a wealth of opportunities off-line.Direct mail gives you the opportunity to talk directly to hundreds, thousands, and even millions of potential customers. A letter is like a dialogue between you and your prospective customer. It is a communication, one person talking to another. A letter is an opportunity to make the most compelling case on how your product or service will benefit the recipient.With dir
    A recent conversation with a salesperson horrified me when they alleged the direction they were getting from the sales manager was to sell one service and focus on it completely. This brought me back to memories when I was selling copiers and our product line was very limited. In my case we had no choice since we only had one product to sell. However, today’s businesses often have a suite of services to sell and can’t afford to adopt this strategy.

    This "one solution strategy" would be like a doctor prescribing one pill for every ailment regardless of what the patient complained about. What would you do if you had a migraine and your doctor prescribed you one pill, the same pill and dosage for everyone was his cure. It might be his only remedy for migraines, high blood pressure or arthritis and anything else you have a problem with. You would run from that doctor like everyone else.

    On one hand it is great to highlight a specific product during one day of the week or during a special promotion to generate specific sales. We simply should not turn a blind eye to all the other services a client needs when they are in need.

    How to Defend Your Marketing Budget
    Management's first response to a tight budget is often to reduce expenditures across the organization. After all, that's the best way to balance the budget. Every department suffers equally. Right?Wrong! Although it may seem right (politically) to accept this decision, it's the wrong move to make. In the long run, accepting a significant budget cut will harm your organization. When a nonprofit cuts marketing, it cuts off one of the hands that feed it.Even worse, marketing and communications are often cut more than other areas. Our work is sometimes perceived as being expendable, rather than recognized

    Direct Mail Marketing for a Mobile Car Wash Concern
    Mobile carwash businesses traditionally use different kinds of advertising to promote the building of their routes. One of the best forms of advertising for mobile carwash owners is to use flyers and coupons. Customers are use to this and expect such.One of the easiest ways to deliver these coupons is using direct mail advertising in those little coupon packages that come in the mail. They do not cost that much money and it is wise to send them out once a month to different zip codes around the city that correspond with your current routes.What kind of coupons should you insert into these direct mai

    Is your Online Business Customer-Friendly?
    Customer service is increasingly seen as one of the most valuable uses for a commercial World Wide Web site.  Your Web site is available on a 24 hour, seven days a week basis.  So it is well worth exploring ways in which your customers can virtually “serve themselves," without the need for overtime staff, or lengthy voice mail procedures.

    It is one thing when a customer walks in our door and an order taker or customer service person responds to their request and specific needs. After all, most Customer Sales Representatives will develop the "order taker" response if they aren’t careful. It is another thing to send out salespeople with the idea that they sell one thing. What will happen to the other services, who will sell them if the salesperson doesn’t. When we sell a suite services, it requires us to maintain a sales strategy that asks questions identifying an opportunity matching to our services. If we offer many services, we need to ask a lot of questions first.
