    The Forgotten Advertising Medium
    Too often those of us that own an online business forget that there's another advertising medium that business owners have been using for years, with excellent results.That medium is Newspaper Advertising. Any online business owner that is not using the option of advertising in newspapers is losing potentially thousands of dollars per year.Although print newspapers have lost some of their readership to online news sources there are still millions of homes in America that still buy newspapers, either by newsstands or home delivery.Reading the newspaper is a habit for many families because there is something for everybody--sports, comics, crosswords, t
    le person. We thought wrong. Before they ran the promotion we suggested that they test (always test ideas) our concept by sending out one hundred emails to their target customer demographic. We were astounded at what came back. Only three of the people in the test knew who the celebrity endorser was and only one could name what team he used to play on. The point to learn here: do not take a famous regional celebrity endorser and try and make a success of your promotion in a totally different region of the country. Folks, it just does not work and can be a very costly mistake.

    One major selling point of using ex-athletes is the fact that many of them still get significant press. While not playing in the game anymore they are often looked to for expert advice and opinions. When using TV and movie stars that have gracefully left the industry, many times they have had very little exposure for many year

    Case Study; The Re-Branding of an Online Think Tank
    The Think Tank we started a few years back got to the point that we needed to expand and go with the demand for new members or keep it small. Either way, we had to do some thing. After much thought we decided to try a little re-branding;Our new title is The Online Think Tank (unless we decide to re-Brand it later to serve a greater audience or spin-off one division for a separate endeavor). You see our members believe we must resurrect the Geological Society of Europe and set up networks of Online Think Tank Chapters using the Internet, social online networks, forums, bulletin boards, Blogs, iPod Casting, video, online reading libraries, and ad hoc personal weekly
    It’s actually very interesting to be with a celebrity endorser for a while at a public place and see if anyone recognizes them, comes up to them just to talk, ask if they are who they think they are, ask for an autograph, or tell them, “I remember when I used to watch you on TV”, etc. This simple little exercise, while never planned, gives us insight into the possible success of the celebrity endorser we are contemplating using and what type of value we might be adding to the company or product.

    One thing that we have found to be critical is to never ever try and bring a regional celebrity endorser into a market that is too far from that celebrity endorser roots. Don’t try and place a San Francisco person in a New York promotion unless that person is from New York or currently lives in New York. A point of interest here centers on a promotion that is now being done with a member of the Hall of Fame. In our opinion, this was a very famous and recognizable person. We thought wrong.

If at all possible, when using someone who fits that mold, it is imperative that you somehow rekindle your customers mind by making an association with what they used to star in or be famous for when they were active.

    Some celebrity endorsers have distinguishing attributes that don’t allow them to be forgotten very easily…that is without a doubt a huge and often time’s overlooked bonus. Things that make them stand out often mean dollars in your pocket and help to create that endearing brand you had in mind. The list of things that are significant consist of things like, hair, beards, mustaches, birth marks, height, weight, etc.

    The bottom line is the more recognizable your celebrity endorser is, the more successful they will be for your company or product.

    Defining Online Branding-Part 2
    The Web is an open scene for a Global audience. You buy online, communicate, socialize, study, and have fun. You search for information, you compare, you think and you make a decision. You have access to that book you need faster than offline, you can make better purchasing decisions, and you can even become famous in a matter of days: all you need is a good story, a “digg” and… that’s it!Online branding is indeed a challenging process, because, guess what: you are not the only one doing it. At the same time, as you “consolidate and communicate” your brand in a creative manner, another online entrepreneur employs the same online tools to reach the same goals:

    Look Back, Look Forward and Learn
    Our calendars are full, and our to-do lists are long. We live in a world that seems to bring more information, expectations and options to us each day and all of these things tend to accelerate the pace of our lives.There was a time, not that long ago that a trip across the United States. would take a couple of days by train. While this was much faster than previously available transportation, it is still quite leisurely compared to the 4-5 hour flight that we can now take.In those seemingly slower times we surmise that we would have had time to stop and think. Today we argue our time is limited and too valuable to stop and just think. There is too much

    Create Your Dynamic Elevator Speech
    So, what’s an elevator speech, and how do you get one?What Is It?An elevator speech is a short (15-30 second, 150 word) sound bite that succinctly and memorably introduces you. It spotlights your uniqueness. It focuses on the benefits you provide. And it is delivered effortlessly.Elevator speeches are intended to prepare you for very brief, chance encounters in an elevator. But elevator speeches are not just for elevators! You should use it whenever you want to introduce yourself to a new contact. That could be in the supermarket, waiting in line at an ATM or when you get your morning latte.So, who better than you to des

    Pay Per Click - What It Is And What It Is Not
    PPC has emerged as one of the most effective ways to attain the highest search engine rankings. The concept is simple: Advertisers pay, or bid, for the placement of each keyword or search phrase. PPC advertisements are often listed above typical free search results and are entitled as “Sponsored Sites”.The cost of PPC depends on the product or service being offered. The more popular the keyword or keyword phrase, the higher the price. Advertisers pay only when their search results are clicked. Most vendors balance the advertisement click-through rate (CTR) with the amount advertisers are willing to pay for a keyword or keyword phrase.PPC is adaptable in ter
