“Revealed…The 3 Laws of Selling…And How You Can Exploit Them To Have Your Customers Pleading With You To Take Their Money”If you follow these 3 simple rules in all your marketing and advertising you’ll sell more of your products and services.Customers like to buy and not be sold to.People buy for emotional reasons and not rational reasons.But once they decide to buy, they instantly justify their buying decision with logical reasons.Think about it. Nobody likes somebody giving them a hard sell. We like to decide to buy for ourselves. But that buying decision is always ruled by our emotions. That’s why your copy needs saturating with the right emotions for your target market. Such as these:Greed – Who doesn’t want more money, to save money or get something free? But people aren’t solely focused on greed. There’s much more to a person.Fear – Strike fear into the hearts of your customers. But don’t over do it. Reassure them you’ve got the only answer to their impending disaster.Laziness – offer a quick, easy and simple answer. Everybody wants a quick fix nowadays.Vanity – Flatter your clients. Tell them they’re special. Massage their egos.Background
Following the collapse of the prawn industry in the mid-80’s, an interesting industry slowly emerged in the early 90’s as dynamic and aggressive women entrepreneurs turned their expensive hobby into a multi-million profitable and enjoyable “sunshine” industry. This paved the way to the birth of the Floriculture Industry in the Province of Capiz. From an obscure industry, it grew to become one of the rapidly expanding agri-business sectors in the province today involving more than 5,000 stakeholders, florists, landscape artists, contractors, technologists, input providers, farm technicians and gardeners.
Capiz is a major producer of potted orchids and orchid cutflowers, landscape materials, fresh foliages and potted ornamental plants in the whole of the Visayas. It is also recognized as one of the sources of the best and rarest ferns in the country today. Presently, it is slowly building a name as the premier source of exportable cutfoliages in the country.
Roxas City leads in the number of producers in the province with ten (10) commercial farms located here. It is also considered as the marketing center with the presence of 4 trading outlets such as the Paseo de Catedral, Balay Kapisnon, Teodoro Arcenas Trade Center, and Talon Garden Center. It is followed by the municipalities of Sigma, Dao, Panay and Ivisan. As of December 2005, total land area devoted to floriculture is estimated to be more than a hundred hectares.
Underlying the strength of the industry is the Capiz Multi-Purpose Cooperative (CMPC) which serves as the primary coordinating body of the cutflower and ornamental plant growers province-wide. It works closely with relevant national government agencies (NGAs), local government units (LGUs) and industry associations to provide an enabling business climate for the industry to develop and grow. All of the big producers in the province are members of the Capiz MPC. It is a duly registered organization with the Cooperative Development Authority and Department of Trade and Industry.
The local ornamental industry cluster is composed of the core industries, the supplier industries, and other industries that provide related and other services. The cluster is made of interlinked and interdependent key and supporting industries and institutions.
Vision
A unified, self-reliant, environment-friendly and globally competitive Floriculture Industry towards the improvement of the quality of life of its members and the community and be known as the “Cutfoliage Capital of the Philippines”

The dictionary defines logistics as ?The time related positioning of resources.? Hence, logistics can be considered as an implement for getting resources such as products, people, and services as and when they are needed. It is not easy to manufacture any product or promote it without proper logistical support. Business Logistics entails the amalgamation of information, conveyance, inventory, storing, handling of material, and packaging. The functional responsibility of logistics is the geographical relocation of resources, work in progression, and finish inventories at the lowest charge achievable. Hence, logistics involves creation of ?people systems? rather than ?machine systems?.Business logistics as a concept developed only in the 1950s. It was evolved because of the increased complication of supplying business ventures with materials and transportation of these finished products in a global chain of supply. This management is increasingly realized through experts in the field of business logistics. Logistics in business focuses on the flow either internally or externally of the business venture.The main task of a logistics manager involves procurement, transport, storage, and org

One of the things I like about giving presentations to companies is meeting a new group of people and exchanging ideas with them. After a recent talk, several attendees and I had a great discussion about the power of branding.Later while changing my clothes, I was reminded how Levi Strauss & Company is one of the best in the business at branding. Just before I stuck my legs in the jeans I noticed a printed message on the outside of the inside flap of the pocket. From this short note, I’ve pulled three lessons that can maximize your brand.Be Different: Often when you buy clothes the only message you get is a piece of paper telling you that it’s been approved by Inspector #5 or worse, a sticker that ends up sticking to you! Some companies do have attached messages about their products. But they’re gone once you remove them.Levi’s uses a non-traditional yet permanent location for its statement of principles. You can see it every time you put on and take off the jeans.State Your Values: In a few short lines, Levi’s states that you’ve bought an authentic pair of their jeans, their jeans have been around for more than 150 years, and tha

Dynamic digital signage has evolved significantly since its inception and it is helpful to understand how this has happened. Basically, digital signage consists of visual content being delivered by a network of displays that is controlled and managed from a central location. Almost every private and public place you visit will be using digital signage in one way or another very soon and many already do. For example, retail stores hotels, restaurants, malls, theme parks, airports, and other similar locations have started using digital signage software to manage their narrowcasting or broadcasting of specific visual content by a network of displays. The point of the digital signage is to market ones products, directions and more to consumers and the rest of the commercial world. This technology has exploded and only continues to become more popular each and every day.This technology is relatively new and those who are utilizing it came into the business with some form of experience to help make digital signage work for them. Of course, when you are looking for someone to install your digital signage beware of what you are buying. Since the technology hasn’t been around that long there are stil

Do You Have a Disaster/Recovery Plan?With the recent onslaught of ice storms and flooding happening all over the US and Canada, as well as the hurricanes that ripped through Florida and the south earlier this year, many people are finding themselves faced with tremendous losses regarding both their homes and their offices.
