Promotional Mugs - What Should Yours Say?
Chances are good that you have at least one of them hidden away somewhere at the back of your cupboard! Research shows that an estimated 75% of people say they will keep promotional material that they actually find useful, such as mugs.Promotional mugs are a great marketing tool partly because they can be manufactured in a variety of materials – ceramic, metal, glass and plastic. Different styles of mugs tend to appeal to different target markets – travel mugs may appeal to families; while younger people may prefer a contemporary mug design.Your design and the wording can be changed accordingly, depending on the target audience. One of the drawbacks of a promotional mug is that it gives you a relatively small surface on which to advertise. The surface is also curved, which can make some designs or wording difficult to read.You also may be restricted as to the number of colors and the sophistication of the design. Another consideration is that any printing should be long lasting and able to withstand hot liquids. One of the latest innovations is the color changing mug, which reveals a logo when hot water is added.If appropriate, you ca

Google to Dominate Entire Physical Universe?
As you may have heard, NASA and Google have just announced a partnership of sorts. While it seems like an information sharing agreement, a close reading reveals some rather startling things.Google to Dominate Entire Physical Universe?At its core, Google is a search engine. While this is obvious, people sometimes forget it given all the interesting gadgets Google Labs kicks out. Regardless of how you define it, Google typically has at least been restricted to being classified as no broader than an information technology company. It would appear Google has much bigger plans.With more than a bit of hype, Google and NASA have announced they are teaming up. In reviewing the deal, most people are focusing on the data benefits Google will receive. Specifically, NASA appears to be giving Google access to its satellite imagery and even planetary exploration data. Pundits predict we will soon be able to roam Mars digitally on a Google platform, much as we can look at satellite images of our neighborhood now.While all of this is great, it appears to be a red herring.

How to use Joint Ventures in Internet Marketing Part I
If you know how to use joint ventures in internet marketing, you can blast off your earnings big time. The vast majority of the best know internet-marketing names will quote joint ventures as their major means of earning money week out and week in.Think on all the lists you belong to and how often you have had products offered to you that belonged to somebody else other than the owner of the list you are on. That is joint venturing at work. One person has one factor of selling a product and another (or others) has another. For example, one might have a product and the other a list. One person uses their list to sell the other’s product and they split down the middle.Joint ventures can help the product owner more than the list holder since the same product can be sold to many different list holders. In other words, the owner has set up joint ventures with several different people so that the market is quickly saturated with that product and a lot of money is made quickly before they start on another. They then sometimes sell off the product as a private label product in order to squeeze a bit more cash out of it.There is nothing as powerf

Cold Calling -- Turn the Nightmare of Cold Calling into a Sales Success
Do you know that some of the greatest salesmen do it on the phone?Yet, I keep hearing how cold calling is a nightmare, how they hate it, and how even some sales gurus say "cold calling is dead." Here are some of the reasons I’ve heard from my own sales trainees, at least in the beginning: 1) Rejection—All I got was No’s and the phone slammed in my ear.2) All I got was voice mail jail and no one ever returns my calls.And there are others, but most come back to the same thing: the obstacle you are facing isn’t out there in the cold cruel world. It resides right between your own two ears. Your own beliefs are the obstacle. It isn’t anywhere else.For this article we’re going to deal with the “all” syndrome and rejection.A client and I once developed a cold calling campaign plan. He was to make 200 cold calls in the next week. We developed the general idea of what he was going to say, who he was going to call, and how he was going to say it. Then we practiced it until he sounded natural.When we got together the following week, I asked, So, how’d it go? “Horrible, all I got was phones slammed in my e

Poor Business Management; When Words Become Labels
Words in any language are meant to communicate meaning. Communication, in itself, is full of processes which can derail the intended communication. Words which are spoken or written by one person become distorted and filtered by the receiver. The filters the communication receiver uses are based on elements such as their upbringing, their mood and the sender's body language.However, when the words that the sender uses have become so overused in the vernacular that they assume the role of a label or a brand, the problems in communication multiply ten fold or more.A brand is in the eye of the beholder. Proof of this is in the following short test. Ask a person what is in a box labelled with three letters from the alphabet, for example, "XYZ". There is general confusion as the only answers are something related to size. Ask the same person what is in a box with three other letters, this time "IBM" and the answers are much more specific. Ninety percent of people will have a specific view.Ask a group of people individually whether the product is good quality or good value and there will be a range of answers. The answers will depend on their inte

Domain Name
The domain name is the unique identifier for your website, e.g., ‘my-site.com’ is the URL and ‘my-site’ is the domain name. Studies have shown that containing keywords in your site’s URL can boost your search engine ranking. This boost is most significant when your site is very new and has not yet established a good page rank. As your site grows and becomes more efficiently structured and linked, the URL bec
