Casual Articles - How to Survive the Office Party
John Wanamaker, a 19th century entrepreneur, once famously made the statement, “I know that half of my advertising is wasted, I just don’t know which half.” Fortunately for today’s marketers, there are scientific ways to determine which half is wasted, and which half is not, through the use of common direct marketing measurements.Advertising is, and has always been, part art and part science. With direct marketing, the science part takes center stage as there are common direct marketing measurements that can be utilized to verify the results of the advertising.With the increased popularity of direct marketing, the success of advertising can be measured through a variety of common direct marketing methods such as cost per acquisition, cost per piece, and response rate.

A successfully positioned business sometimes doesn't win a new client. And that, my friend, is the point. Let me illustrate with an anecdote.Recently I was making a new business pitch to a Charlotte area professional services firm. The second meeting took place after I had provided a detailed proposal to the company on how I work. From the two meetings and the proposal it was made abundantly clear that I take a comprehensive, strategic approach to communications.One of the partners asked me if there was a "PR light" alternative. This meant that he wanted a tactical program that required very little involvement or input from him and the other partners. I assured him there was, but that was not my approach.I guess I could have taken the company's money every month j
It’s the infamous occasion during an employees career which dictates how much of a success you will be. It can result in your career flourishing, blossoming and making your working into an enjoyable experience or it can label you as the office clown who gets drunk at any opportunity and makes a complete fool of himself. This in turn does not do your reputation with senior management any good at all. I am of course referring to the office party. An event that can be both intimidating and nerve wrecking for those who are under prepared for what potentially could have a severe impact on your future.
If you are one of the people who likes to make a good first impression and keep hold of their job for a prolonged period of time then help is at hand. I have prepared a set of do’s and don’ts for you to guide you on your way and hopefully avoid you making a scene in front of all your co-workers. Follow these instructions and you can’t go far wrong.

The homebased and small business owner is the "Unsung Hero". Why? The small business owner and today even the homebased business owner are the cornerstones of our society. The homebased business owner employs a number of independent contractors. Small businesses account for a large percentage of our economic work force. Think of the homebased and small business owner as the leaders of a team. They organize their team, tell them the strategy they want to be followed and how to implement that strategy. The business owner takes their responsibility of that team very seriously. Why? Because it they don't, they won't have those people working for them very long, in fact they won't be in business for very long. The small and homebased business owner are - Unsung Heroes! W

Unless you work in a Communist State or in the Public Sector, all businesses are interdependent. What this means is that without other similar businesses around, your business would struggle to exist. Is that a good thing?The supply chainAlthough you may think that you can survive by yourself, just stop and think about how reliant your are on receiving your wholesale supplies. This doesn’t just apply to products. There are many wholesale suppliers to the service industry such as IT Services or the Yellow Pages. Could you really exist without any external help?Keep your supply chain options openIt’s all and well having a reliable, automated set of suppliers. But what happens if a supplier goes bankrupt? What happens if a supplier goes on strike? You have to

There is a marked difference between the quick-service companies that are celebrating an anniversary this year and the foodservice products that are doing the same. To wit, little has changed about the Tater Tot since it first appeared in grocery stores 50 years ago. Quite a bit has changed at Burger King during that same time span. Buffalo wings might have undergone a few evolutions since 1964—new flavors, boneless chicken, fried versus baked—but those modifications are nothing compared to what's happened at Arby's over the last 40 years. Beloved sauces, dishes, and sides can—and often should—retain their original identity; companies do not have that same option.Had many of today's great companies not embraced change and adhered to old attitudes about the marketplace, they wou

“Even though the Medical Spa industry is still in it’s infancy, I am beginning to see some trends” says Jeff Russell, the CEO of MedSpa Financing. “We’ve compiled the following 10 tips for those considering opening a medical spa.”Don’t try and re-invent the wheel, learn from our experience, here are 10 tips that will help you open a successful and profitable Medical Spa.1. Have sufficient funds Don’t even think about opening a Medical Spa unless you have the capital needed to bring it through the startup and first year of operation. Invariably, your planning will not deal with all of the unforeseen issues that can occur in the MedSpa industry. From regulatory compliance changes and training costs, to increased marketing costs. Under-capitalization is a leading indi
• Don’t pass up the opportunity to go to an office party. By not attending you are passing up a chance to enhance your reputation. And once you have arrived do stay for at least 30mins, don’t make it seem as though you are really uncomfortable being there. However don’t party till the early hours of the morning.
• Don’t use the office party as an excuse to blow off steam. It may be an out of hour’s functions but you may well be meeting clients and other company contacts. Meeting important business contacts once you have had too much to drink will not help you to piece together coherent speech.
• Leading on from the previous point don’t take advantage of the open bar. Believe it or not your senior managers have spared the expense of an open bar so that employees can relax and have a few drinks not so that you can prop up the drinks table and end up comatose in the corner.
• Don’t bring any sort of gag gifts for your boss that you might usually bring to a private party outside of work to thank them for hosting the event. Your boss is likely to have a different sense of humour to yours so if you think a gift is hilariously funny and would be perfect for him/her then chances are you are gravely mistaken. Your boss won’t think you’re clever or witty so think of other ways to impress him/her.
• Do make sure to thank the person or persons who have taken the time to organise the even
