Advertising your web hosting site
Any new web host will realise that there is a lot of competition in the web hosting industry and it can be hard to establish yourself in the market. I think to succeed as a host you must offer a quality, reliable low cost service to your clients.
No matter how good your service is, if people do not know about your hosting business you will find it hard to break even each month. Every successful hosting company has a well thought through advertising plan. There are many types of advertising available for a host to use to generate new sales.
Search Engine Advertising
Many internet users have used a search engine before to find information, a product or service and for a web site search engines can generate a lot of revenue. As a hosting company it is no different, many new clients can come from search engines.
To take advantage of search engines a host must receive top ranking for popular search terms such as hosting, web hosting, shared hosting and reseller hosting. However this can be a very difficult task, as these keywords have a huge amount of competition for the top ranks.
There are two main types of search engine listings, all search engines offer listings where the rankings are decided on a number of factors such as backward links, web site content, inbound links etc,
Some of the search engines offer paid listings, where the rank of a web site listing is based on the amount paid by the advertiser either for a set time limit or every time a user clicks on the advertiser's ad.
Web Hosting Directory Advertising
Like search engines, advertising in a web hosting directory can bring a lot of revenue for your hosting business and the cost can be fairly low. If your company offers a quality service you should have no problem being added to all the top directories, I would like to say that different directories have their own rules for submissions, and some do have continual operating requirements.
On the whole many hosting directories allow free submissions for your hosting site which can directly bring in traffic to your site, and can also in-directly improve your search engine rankings which will in turn bring more traffic to your site.
Along with free submissions, many hosting directories also offer paid submissions, and/or paid advertising on the web site.
Cost-per-click Advertising
This type of advertising involves placing either a text based or image based advert, and the advertisers' states an amount they are willing to pay for every click their ad receives.
The best places for a web host to use this type of advertising is on web hosting related web site, such as web design, programming or a hosting form site such as Web Hosting Complete.
CPC advertising can be very cost effective, normally only users will click on an advert they are interested in.
Web Hosting Forum Advertising
A web host can usually advertise directly and in-directly on hosting forum web sites, an example is Web Hosting Complete (http://www.whcomplete.com). WHC offer different advertising programs, such as text link and banner based advertising, which can be very effective for hosts.
Advertising on a hosting related site should lower your advertising costs but still generate revenue. Along with the direct advertising, there are subtle ways to generate free traffic from a web hosting forum.
Many of these forum sites do not allow links to external sites to be placed in posts, however normally you can place a link to your web site in your signature. By posting on a forum site, you can place a huge number of free links to your web site in your posts. This can generate a lot of free traffic, and because it is from a hosting related site, it can be highly targeted as well. However this can take a lot of time, because you cannot just post nonsense, your posts must be relevant to the discussions of other members.
Conclusion
In conclusion there are a number of advertising methods a web host can use to generate targeted traffic, some are free but take time and other methods can take money.
I would recommend creating an advertising plan before you start putting money into any form of advertising, the plan should set out how much per month you can spend, and where the money is best spent.

Hong Kong Jordan Suppliers
Of course, when you deal with replicas it is very important that you understand that this is not the original you are buying – so you will not have exactly the same features that you get with the originals. However, the Hong Kong Jordan Suppliers can provide you with great quality at a very nominal price. In fact the sales of these replicas are so high in places that local manufacturers are trying to make replicas of these replicas!
There are many advantages when you buy the replicas over the original – though I am not in any way saying that you should choose the replica over the original. The advantages are that first of all you get it at a much reasonable rate – it is affordable. The Hong Kong Jordan Suppliers have duplicated it well with the local raw- material which makes it viable for them to sell these sneakers at a fraction of their original cost. This is indeed great news for those who have limited finances and still want to look trendy. It takes a really well trained eye to differentiate between these lovely replicas (www.urbanhotlist.com) and the originals.
The other advantage is its availability. These shoes, unlike the original Jordans, are available in most shoe shops where anyone can pick up a pair. The Hong Kong Jordan Suppliers (www.urbanhotlist.com) supply these shoes as replicas – and not under a fake name or something – which makes it completely comfortable to be sold anywhere. Like the sale of a copy of Channel dress or an Armani replica. They are available and saleable as Jordan sneakers. It is important to know in this case that the replicas are genuine. And this is not as easy as you would think because the replicas are not really a brand name. And anyone can replicate these shoes and not all the replicas are good replicas.
The companies that produce good replicas are mostly based in China and one amongst the best there are the Hong Kong Jordan Suppliers who not only produce great quantities but also very good quality shoes. So you need to go to only genuine shops on line or off line who can to a certain extent guarantee a certain level of quality. Otherwise, you will risk investing in bad quality shoes – which will not serve to any purpose.
Hong Kong Jordan Suppliers are among the best replica suppliers in the market today. There are few places which boast of direct contacts with these Chinese suppliers and you are lucky if you get in touch with them – as only then you can get good looking Jordan replica sneakers, which are almost as good as the originals.

Honest vs Labored Advertising
When you receive a letter from a friend you want the letter to mirror the exact thoughts and feeling of your friend at the moment he wrote it. You prefer sincerity to an artificial effort to disguise or color his sentiments. Just so with a newspaper article, a magazine tale, a novel or an advertisement. Honesty and spontaneity must be there before the attention of a reader will be thoroughly captured.
This is the fundamental virtue of an advertisement. When it is not spontaneous it is labored and artificial, therefore ineffective and when it is not natural it is mechanical and unattractive. An honest outright effort that rides rough over the rules of spelling and grammar is more effective by far than the elegant production, faultless in grammar and expression, but pretentious and artificial in effect.
Suppose you are advertising—say spring over-coats. Hold up the coat. Look it over. Feel its texture, its linings — run your hands in its pockets and note its cut and finish. And its price is very low. All these points are flashed on your mind and you make mental notes. You cross-question the salesmen about the styles of spring overcoats-which are likely to be popular. You go back to your desk full of overcoat information, and bursting with this intelligence, you proceed to fix up an ad on spring overcoats.
This information will help a lot in organizing the content that you will include in your poster, brochure or flyer. You could consider talking about the spring coat in your marketing material as you would in a conversation with a customer. Provide them with the details quickly and easily and if he likes to laugh, a short joke or story may help you in your sale. Short, snappy, and catchy sentences are the sentences that strike readers. Thus, clean, artistic outline cuts, full of action to harmonize with the text, should be used. Pictures would also help enhance the material. A picture of a well dressed man wearing the coat can help to wonderfully emphasize the points you desire to bring out.
Thus, a neat cut, complete selling scheme has advantage over over-designed ones. From start to finish it is carefully thought and carried out. How much better is it than the usual whitewash of advertising which simply brings people in only to be disgusted with the unpreparedness of things? So, to be a successful business man, make sure you use ads that are neat, fresh and not overlarge with crisp, convincing text.

History Of Advertising
When advertising is considered from its entire history it is not surprising at all that it currently maintains such a significant factor in our lives and society. The history of advertising can be traced all the way back to the people of Babylonia and was present in several societies from that time forward. Moving forward outdoor adevertsing was implemented announce such things as properties for rent and sites where food and drink was available in places such as Rome.
It seems that we’ve all heard various tales of town criers and the travels to various villages to spread the day’s most significant news. But, these traveling announcers also delivered promotional pieces detailing the positive qualities of various products. The products producer’s of course were behind the promotions.
Although, the property advertisements were a form a graphic advertising it wasn’t until 1472 that the first printed ad appeared in England. What was for sale? As one indicator of issues and products of importance today, the same held true in 1472 England. A prayer book was for sale.
The profitability of advertising finally captured the attention a Philidelphia entrepreneur, who started the first advertising agent for hire in the U.S. in 1841. It wasn’t long after this that our current advertising agency systems began to take form. The agents, and later agencies, turned profit in those days primarily by buying advertising space from newspapers and then selling and creating ads to various businesses. The next step to make the advertising as recognizable, and complex, as it is today was to implement market research and the writing of copy based on the findings, which was done by an advertising agency in the late 1800’s that is still in existence today.

Great Savings in Postcard Printing
Every penny counts. This is the reason why I am cautious where to spend it. We need to be a spend-thrift, not simply because it is wise but because it is a must.
I am into postcards and every once in a while I am tasked to take charge of the whole process - from the conceptualization up to printing. If you are to see it in a packaging it may seem a pretty taxing process. In fact, the entire thing takes a lot of effort and money. Nonetheless, it may also be on the contrary.
Printing rate is a big factor that you need to consider in dealing with postcards. Many postcard designs are 'ganged' in order to save on both money and time. Ganging print dramatically slashes the price of each printing job at a faster printing process. Basically, that is hitting two birds at the same time.
Ganging print goes like this, if you are going to print 12 different postcard designs on different sheets, in ganging it will be run through the press just once. By now, you can see the effect.
Another consideration that can help you is to find a commercial printer that gives a good postcard printing deal. There are available discount postcard printing deals in the business these days. Grab the opportunity to save more.
In connection to mailing postcards, postage rate can be pretty affordable. In fact, first class mail is only 23 cents. If you are to compare it with mailing letters, it is 14 cents lower. However, if you are choosing mailing some requirements must be met by your postcards. One of the requirements is the final trim size of 5 to 6 inches in length and 1-1/2 to 4-1/4 inches in height. This postcard rate includes double postcards that have reply cards.
If you opt to make postcards online, you can use ready-made templates to save time. There are thousands of them online. All you have to do is download them. By that process, designing will be made easy and will not eat your time.
To make it even easier, you can upload your own mailing list from several file formats. Check this mailing list against your official post office records. Change any errors to preclude you from spending further on invalid addresses. Finally, save your mailing list for future use.

Golf Advertising - Taking It On The Green
I’m not too much of a bourgeoisie kind of a guy, in fact, I probably relate more with the serfs (I know I just mixed socio-economic systems, bear with me). This particular fact about me is the result not only of a static social hierarchy (although social fluidity is touted like its simple matter of signing up for your preferred lot), but also as a little bit of personal taste. For one, I’m not real big on the uniform that seems to permeate the elite. Pastels don’t sit well with me and pleated white and khaki shorts just above the knee make me feel uncomfortable. I’d rather sew up the rip in my jeans, put my feet on the table and curse a little with my friends. There is one thing though…golf.
Wow, getting a group of friends together, totting along a course regulation breaking cooler and swinging some sticks…now we’re talking. The thing about golf is that there isn’t a thing about golf. I like to be outside. I like the tranquility. I like the sound when your driver connects just right with the ball. I like walking up my ball and quietly thinking about my next shot. I like that I could measure out 150 yards for you with a golf ball and my 8 iron. I like that on some days the cup looks really big and on others I fear it. I really like the sound made when the ball finally drops. And I even like that I’m not very good at golf and probably never will be, it’s a big outdoor chessboard. These are the things about golf to me.
Recently, though, the sanctity of my church has been infiltrated by heretics and plunderers. By far the most unnerving area on the course for me is on the tee box. I have a slice, sometimes I miss the ball all together, I can usually feel the group behind me creeping up, it’s just an all around difficult spot for me. So what I’d like is for anything that can be not unnerving to be so. That’s why when I started to see golf advertisements placed on the tee box I felt wholly unhappy.
I’m not sure if the tee box should be designated as an advertising free zone, or not, but I really can swing better with a mind free of the heaviness that bears upon it when confronted with issues such as freedom of speech, product branding and commodity fetishism. So, golf advertisers…you’ve got us. We’re hooked, we like your game, we use your product, we’ll read your magazine, but please, please leave the tee box alone.

So what I’d like is for anything that can be not unnerving to be so. That’s why when I started to see golf advertisements placed on the tee box I felt wholly unhappy.
I’m not sure if the tee box should be designated as an advertising free zone, or not, but I really can swing better with a mind free of the heaviness that bears upon it when confronted with issues such as freedom of speech, product branding and commodity fetishism. So, golf advertisers…you’ve got us. We’re hooked, we like your game, we use your product, we’ll read your magazine, but please, please leave the tee box alone.

Going to Bookshops to Identify a Hot Market
The day may come when people do all of their researching and reading online but it isn't here yet. Fiction, of course, will always be in print... it would be hard to curl up with a good novel in front of the fireplace on a cold winter day with a computer. Research, however, may eventually all be done online. People buy 'how-to' books and books that are devoted to solving their problems and/or making their lives better every day. By identifying the hot market books that are being sold in bookshops (online and off line) you can identify a hot niche marketing topic.
Go to the bookshops in your area and take note of the kinds of non-fiction books that are stocked. You should particularly note the ones that are self-help or how-to books. If you can create the opportunity, ask the stock boy which ones are selling the best. He's the one who knows what is being restocked most often. That failing, ask a floor salesperson the same question. Asking the bookstore owner or manager is the last option. They are more likely to be pushing the books that aren't selling well in order to make a sale. Learn by whatever means you can which self-help or how-to books are the hottest sellers.
Another option is the online bookstores. You can't, of course, ask for information from a person but you can research the site and determine which of the non-fiction self-help or how-to books are highest in sales.
Finding out what books people are most often buying can give you some insight into what the hot market subjects are. Armed with this information, you can go about creating a niche marketing website that will have a better chance of becoming successful.

Getting The Most From Your Advertising Dollars
You now have that website up and running. You have a great product. You are all set to start taking orders and making those trips to the bank to make deposits! And then you wait, and wait, and wait some more! Unless someone can find your site, you will have a very long wait! That is where the value and benefit of advertising comes in. Advertising is what brings potential customers into your "virtual business door". As a business owner, every dollar you spend is a dollar right out of your pocket. This affects your profit margin and revenues. This can be especially difficult if it comes at a time when you're trying to grow your business. If you're going to succeed, you have to pay close attention to your bottom line and look for creative, innovative ways to cut costs while still getting what you need.
That old saying that it "takes money to make money" has never been truer than when it comes to promoting your business. And when it comes to spending money on advertising, how do you make sure that your advertising is working hard enough, without spending a fortune that consumes all your profits or even worse money that far exceeds your business revenues?
Thanks to the Internet, you've got lots of options for finding cost-effective advertising that does what it's supposed to -- bring targeted customers who are hungry for what you're selling, right to your door. But don't forget about cost-effective offline methods as well. Here are a few ideas to help you get started:
Always make sure you focus your advertising dollars on your target market. The tighter your niche, the better your chances of finding the customers who are looking for exactly what you've got to sell! So rather than going wide, and trying to sell to everyone, narrow your focus, and then, if possible, narrow it some more! Figure out who your "ideal" customer is, and then create an advertising campaign for them. Once you know who you're selling to, look for media that targets that demographic. Depending on your product or service, think community and neighborhood newspapers, high school sponsor advertising, chamber of commerce directories, etc.
If your ideal customers aren't defined by a specific geographic location, look at regional or specific demographic publications. Perhaps a regional paper runs an annual issue that focuses on an issue or activity that reaches your target market. Use local cable television to broadcast your ads only in certain markets. You'll get cheaper rates and a more focused demographic.
Always ask for a discounted rate. (Many publications offer an "agency" discount of up to 15 percent. If you are acting as your own in-house advertising agency, you might qualify for the special rate. Sure, you might be turned down more often than not, but make it a habit to ask. It will be worth it every time it works for you.
Some monthly magazines offer discounts for multi-ads placed over a 3, 6 or 12 month time period. Most publications have a different rate schedule for different types of advertisers -- so depending on your product or service, you could qualify. And if not, sometimes just asking for the discount will give it to you.
Buy leftover space or airtime. This is advertising that the publication, radio or television station hasn't filled by their usual deadline. Of course you'll have to take the spots that are available, but again, depending on your business and the product or service you're selling, that inconvenience could still be worth the discount and the exposure you'll receive.
Use classified ads. They're not just for employment offers any more. You'll find classified ads in magazines and newspapers. Before writing your ad, go to your local library, and look through the back issues of the magazine or newspaper that you're considering. Look at the ads that catch your eye, or that are repeated month after month. Those ads wouldn't be in there each month, if they weren't making the advertiser money. Use those ads as springboards for ideas when you're ready to start writing your own classifieds.
Test your ads. Start out with the cheaper publications, so you can find out what's working and what's not. Play with them, and tweak them. Once you've got an ad that works, keep using it. You can run it more than once, or in more than one publication at a time. When it quits bringing in customers, or you start noticing a drop in effectiveness, then it's time to change it.
Do you own a retail business? If so, check into co-op advertising funds that may be offered by your vendors. Co-op programs provide joint advertising for your and your vendor, and you'll get a portion of the cost of the ad reimbursed because the ad mentions the vendor. (Note: most Co-op programs have strict guidelines, so check with your vendors and make sure you're following the rules).
Barter for goods and services. This can be especially effective with radio stations and local papers. See if you can provide your products or services in trade for the cost of advertising. (Also called "trade" or "In-kind" ads, the radio station or publication gives you the ad in exchange for products or services of equal value, and then uses those products or services as part of a promotion or contest for their listeners or readers). This can also be a great way to get additional free publicity, so if you decide to try this method, get creative and think outside the box!
Don't forget or be afraid to recycle the good ads in other advertising medium. If you've got an ad that's especially effective, looks great (or more importantly that is profitable), by all means reuse it in a circular, brochure, handout, flyer or direct mail piece. Use the graphics on your Webpages if available.
In summary, your goal should be to find a balanced mix of online and offline advertising. This will go a long way towards getting the greatest bang for your advertising buck! With a little creativity you will be maximizing your profits while minimizing your expenses.

Getting Free Publicity for Your Business
Advertising is telling the world how great you are, while publicity is having others tell the world how great you are. Companies and organizations that understand the importance of publicity are generally more successful than those who use advertising alone to reach their target audiences.
Newspapers, magazines and radio and television news programs are filled with stories about businesses and organizations. Those who know how to present materials professionally to the right people will get media coverage for free, while those who don't understand how publicity works have to rely on large advertising budgets to reach their audiences, usually with less impressive results.
"If you can get a news organization to report about your event or praise something you're doing, you have gained an enormous amount of credibility that simply couldn't be generated through paid advertising," said David Forman, a public relations veteran and author of "Publicity Professor," a workbook that teaches business owners how to get free news coverage.
The first step in reaching out to media professionals is to create an appealing press release. Its main purpose is to get an editor or producer interested in what you have to say or in what you are doing. It should contain enough information, specifics and quotes that a writer can craft a story from it without ever having to call you.
A media alert is another tool for getting press coverage. Its purpose is to give news assignment desks the specifics about an event in a way that entices editors or television news directors to send a reporter or camera crew.
There are dozens of other ways to get news coverage, such as placing feature stories or writing pitch letters offering your expertise in a subject for quotes or on-air interviews.
Forman says you don't have to hire outside help to get publicity.
"Nobody knows your business like you do," Forman said. "You simply have to reach the appropriate person with your message, in a format that media professionals expect."
Using real-world examples, "Publicity Professor" shows you how to give editors and producers exactly what they're looking for to get your story covered for free.
The guidebook includes easy-to-follow templates of press releases, media alerts, feature stories and pitch letters; suggestions on creating newsworthy special events and awards programs; and resources for contacting local, regional and national media.

Getting Ahead of the Game
Business owners look at competition as a terrible thing. But for the customers at large this is a good thing. Customers benefit from the price war that occurs among products of the same line. Because of this, prices go down allowing people to buy goods or avail of services at affordable prices. But as terrible as it may seem to a business owner, competition should never be seen as a disadvantage. Instead, you should strive to make your product or service better to stay ahead of your competitors. You can go as far ahead of your competitors in terms of displays, methods, stocks and advertising strategy. Doing so you can look back at your rivals with a big smile and feeling of content and triumph.
Supposing you are dealer of ladies garments and there are three other dealers like you in your town. Would you fear the competition? Perhaps you would but if you know that you are carrying a stock quality that is better than your competitors and applying a good marketing strategy there is practically nothing for you to fear. Keep in mind though that if you are using promotional materials such as posters as part of your marketing approach, make sure that the poster contains honest advertising and attention-grabbing design. With the technology that is available today it has become much easier to print posters at faster turnaround time and at a much affordable price.
However, if you don’t intend to print the poster yourself, find a printing company that can best meet your needs. If you were to go for a company that offers poorer quality than what you are seeking, you would find yourself with products are not useful and saleable. Likewise, you might end up finding a printing company that cannot complete your print job at the required timeframe. This would obviously cause you considerable stress. Hence, doing some research, looking around and making a careful plan can help a lot in finding the right printing company to handle your poster printing.
Although most printing companies cover a lot of printing services, not all will be able to do the print job that you need. Finding print shops in your locality can be a good start toward finding the right print shop. Nevertheless, to have a lot of choices you will need to branch out and check as many listings as possible including looking online. The Internet offers listing of thousands of print shops that you could check out without leaving your home. Words of caution though, make sure that the print shop knows exactly what you want with your project to avoid any problem in the end.
So get ahead of your competitors by keeping a step or two ahead of them. A good marketing material will do the trick yet a quality product or service is still the most important.

Get Paid To Shop & Eat
Everybody would love to make lots of money quickly, working from home, and only doing a few hours of work per week. I've spent the past two years trying to find a great way of doing this. Only over the course of the past few months have I found any "get rich quick" programs worth buying. I've been trying to make money online for a long time. I had a few small websites, but they never made much more than a few hundred per month. It was easy money and didn't require much work on my part, but I knew there were people out there doing better than I was and I knew I could do as well as them.
Now, I've seen a lot of "get rich quick" programs. Most of these people make claims about earning $2000/day with Google or something similarly insane. Almost all of these people are complete liars. Even if they were making $2000/day with Google AdSense, it'd be because they had high- traffic websites with a lot of quality content. I'd know, because in one whole month, I never even made half of what they promised I'd make daily with their programs. Maybe you've already been scammed by one of these fraudsters. Anyway, I finally got sick of what was being offered.
I decided I'd look through the all of the "get rich quick" programs I could find and see if there were any that were actually legitimate. I found that there were owners selling their programs for well over $100, but the information in them could be found almost anywhere online for free. Additionally, they all contained out-of-date information, had no e-mail support, no money back guarantees, and broken links in the downloads section.
In conclusion, almost all of the programs I found were completely useless. The owners knew it, but they couldn't care less about their customers since they didn't offer refund policies! Amazingly, while looking through all of the programs, I actually did find a few legitimate programs. They were run by ordinary people like you and me, and they had found some great methods of making money from their home by doing very little work.
I spent some time working with those programs, and my income is now ten times what it used to be. These programs provided a large amount of great information on how to make extra money on your computer doing very little work. Numerous customers had provided great feedback and reviews for their products. Many of them have started to make money just days after buying!
Their programs have excellent prices, and the authors have a group of paid staff who are dedicating to helping you or providing assistance if you need any. I must say I was amazed! If you do decide to purchase any of the programs listed below, I recommend you join quickly. Most of the owners tell me they are getting an overwhelming number of sales and plan on raising prices in the near future, so order while prices are still low!
Now, I've seen a lot of "get rich quick" programs. Most of these people make claims about earning $2000/day with Google or something similarly insane. Almost all of these people are complete liars. Even if they were making $2000/day with Google AdSense, it'd be because they had high- traffic websites with a lot of quality content. I'd know, because in one whole month, I never even made half of what they promised I'd make daily with their programs. Maybe you've already been scammed by one of these fraudsters. Anyway, I finally got sick of what was being offered.
I decided I'd look through the all of the "get rich quick" programs I could find and see if there were any that were actually legitimate. I found that there were owners selling their programs for well over $100, but the information in them could be found almost anywhere online for free. Additionally, they all contained out-of-date information, had no e-mail support, no money back guarantees, and broken links in the downloads section.
In conclusion, almost all of the programs I found were completely useless. The owners knew it, but they couldn't care less about their customers since they didn't offer refund policies! Amazingly, while looking through all of the programs, I actually did find a few legitimate programs. They were run by ordinary people like you and me, and they had found some great methods of making money from their home by doing very little work.
I spent some time working with those programs, and my income is now ten times what it used to be. These programs provided a large amount of great information on how to make extra money on your computer doing very little work. Numerous customers had provided great feedback and reviews for their products. Many of them have started to make money just days after buying!

BRENDA BIERI, DDS - Dr. Bieri realized that a simple advertising tool such as the stock molar-shaped tooth magnet would be an excellent reminder and help advertise her clinic. She realized that participating in the "Career Day Event" at the local Middle School as a volunteer, and giving away a molar-shaped to each student, they will appreciate her consideration! God knows our community helpers rarely have the money to spend on goodwill tokens! This community advertising produced excellent results to her practice.

Get into holiday sprit with holiday themed business cards, letterheads and envelopes
The holiday spirit brings many forms of celebrations, gifts, decorations and stationery. Stationery means the letterheads and cards that are sent and exchanged in holiday spirit amongst family members and friends. This stationery makes the holiday season feel more special. The main reason stationery of any form is exchanged or sent to anyone is for correspondence or for sending wishes. Instead of sending plain stationery, the holiday spirit can be spread by sending personalized stationery designed for the holiday season.
Personalized holiday cards give your holiday cards a special touch and makes it stand out in the holiday season. Nowadays the demand of personalized holiday cards has increased so much that there are lots of firms found both online and off line that produce such cards for people’s use. These holiday cards are usually silkscreen printed that are printed on bright white and cream papers. One of the main reasons for using a silkscreen card is that it produces vibrant colors and rich metallic. This silkscreen printing is a lengthy process wherein each card is run through the press for each color. So if the design has four different colors, it goes through the press four different times before it is actually complete.
The printing firms of holiday themed stationery have separate categories for different seasons and holidays. We have to decide on the design series that fits your needs and ideas for the printing of the stationery. Once the design is fixed on, you then have to choose the greetings card and texture of the paper you wish to use for the card. It is always better to choose paper that has a rich look as it makes the recipient feel happy as you had spent so much for him. If required, you could also choose to have your return address printed on the back envelope flap for the convenience of the recipient. The holiday card gets a better look if you also get a matching envelope lining for the card. This also enhances the holiday spirit with both a holiday spirited card and envelope.
While making your holiday greeting card, you could also include your logo and a picture of your department, company or organization for an extra personal touch to the card. So it is always better to create a logo for your company using vector graphics so that the logo can be resized both big and small for the convenience for printing. This logo can also be used to print holiday themed letterheads and business cards for the holiday season. If required, you could also add a holiday message to give the personal touch to the stationery.

Get Best Advertiser in Your Side Pocket!
I have been questioned by many people to disclose some of the greatest traffic generating techniques that I know of. I am not to immediate to reveal them because I know the majority doesn't even take battle on them. All I know is that they work and you should be familiar with this too.
Let's find to them!
My first and foremost form of traffic comes from the higher ranked pages. My link is on web’s most popular sites. You should be able to be part of those famous sites. Do not waste your time in submitting your link anywhere blindly. You must show up your creative work. Going for link partners just to gain a few ranks, is a hard work.
Advertising is key factor in your web site promotion. Let people talk about you, your products, and your services. You see, people are always on the look out for good content right? Your site should have really good contents. Don’t write “Welcome to my website” or “Ours is a World’s first company...blah blah” unless and until you really have dominating product.
You sell your products or services as like others, but you think you must be noticed. Your offer should be different to attract visitor. Your presentation should be mind catching. Get aware of advertisers online. There are few major players around.
• Google Adsense
• Yahoo ad
• Pixel Page sites
You can use either of Google Adsense or Yahoo ad. These two programs run by Google and Yahoo respectively that pays you per click. You sign up for free, paste a little bit of code on your website and every time someone clicks the links on your site, you get paid a certain amount per click.
I just launched a site and placed Google Adsense program at the right of the panel. I also placed my personal site logo attractively on one famous pixel site. InnovativePixelPage provider resulted my site some hundreds of clicks. The result? The site went from a page rank 0 to a page rank 4 in less than 2 months!
This is because you are being noticed online even while you are enjoying your summer holidays! There are some useful tips for being top in Google Adsense frame.
The real key to using this method is to write good content. Make it look nice. For example, if your site is about “Website traffic” your pages should contain exact keyword more time than only “traffic” word. Otherwise Google Adsense will show irrelevant result like “Rash hour traffic” or “Traffic jam”.
Some clicks are value higher than others depending on the "keyword" that the ad is targeting. What does this mean? Google Adsense are "contextual based" ads, meaning that they display the links for people to click on based on the context of your website.
Here are a few tips to get better earnings with Google Adsense:
1. Don't make your ads look like ads! People are so "banner blind" now that they'll fly right over your Adsense ads if you make them look too much like actual ads. By removing the background and the border of your ads and making them blend in with your own site's background, it will help your sales enormously!
2. Don't click your own links! It may be tempting to earn that potential for yourself but in the long run it's not worth it! Google has ways to sense "click fraud" and you will get caught and you'll surrender all of your earnings thus far.
Another form of emerging advertising media is Pixel Page Sites. Perhaps you should have notices few of them. Alex, one student founded Pixel Page idea and built one website for advertising. Website owners put their ads on it and surprisingly they found increased traffic on their sites. Foremost, they are fun. People stay online for hours checking out all of the cool websites. This also creates lots of traffic for the advertiser. If your ad is really eye-catching, it’s more like that visitor will click on your ads.
There have been many pixel page sites online. Not all of them are effective. 95% of such sites lack proficiency and eventually put down pixel site. I warn you not to get caught by such novice site builder.
Few tips for getting best Pixel Site Advertiser or Publisher.
1. Investigate enough to be satisfied at first look. First impression is the last impression!
2. Avoid blind copier. People will never visit their web site. Even if someone visits that site, he or she won’t recommend to his friends. Real PSA site is referred most of the time.
3. Go for professional or just through out your money.
4. Think different, Go for different.

Genius Marketing Disguised as a Good Message
The Dove marketing campaign called Real Beauty is an inspiring message to all women to love the beauty of their natural curve and figure. It is a campaign like no other before it in the sense that it uses real women. Dove held a casting call for women of all shapes, sizes, and colors to find proper representatives of Real Beauty. They needed to select a number of real women to be the models for their soap, hair, and skin products. The women range from short skinny “flat-chest” women to tall shapely women with thick thighs. The efforts of the campaign are to get women of all walks of life to see and value their real beauty and not strive for some unobtainable structure which years of advertisement and pressure of society has brain washed women to achieve. This revolutionary move in advertisement has struck a chord with women everywhere and is incredibly effective.
Let's remember that Dove sells soap, conditioner, and lotions. Dove encouragement to appreciate your real beauty steals sales from women who would cover up blemishes with make up to buy Dove facial soaps and moisturizers. Women who would burn their hair in salons with highlights and chemicals are now motivated to use Dove shampoo and conditioner to revitalize their hair and keep natural. Dove's message speaks so intimately to women that they almost feel obligate to be faithful consumers. Dove so fully compliments women it is an incredibly seductive campaign, but it is packaged as caring and thoughtful. Dove is comparable to the dirt bag friend that a boyfriend can't trust, because the second there is a fight in the couple the friend is there to comfort and hold the poor pain inflicted female.
It can be that after years of such under handed tricks and cheap gimmicks that consumers have become callus and cynical to the point of not buying into Dove's campaign. There is something about that white background and light blue dainty writing that seems pure, believable, and comforting though. Still, genuine or not the campaign is absolute genius. The campaign gives Dove a conscience which the general public can even consider a soul. This separates dove from all of the spiritless soap suppliers like Caress and Irish Spring.
Despite the possibility that Dove's campaign could be a scheme to out sell other hygiene product labels it is still a much needed message to today's women. Hearing the message from teachers, friends, and mothers is never as comforting as seeing it in a magazine or on television. Seeing is believe for most of today's public; and for a young shapely girl to see someone as pear shaped as her on television and a beacon of beauty then she too can be a new standard of beauty. Of course in order to best present and preserve her beauty she must use Dove products, but at least she isn't pigeon holed into a unfavorable category of appearance. In reality women buy such products to be able to love themselves more, so why not buy something that fluffs your ego.

Garage Sale Advertising - How To Get Tons Of Customers For Nearly Free
One of the biggest mistakes people make when holding a garage sale is not advertising enough. Most people think that it is enough to put a single ad in the local paper one week before the sale. Usually these people are too worried that they will lose money on their sale because the ad costs too much. That is nonsense.
When you don't advertise much, you don't get many customers. When you don't get many customers, you have to sell at their price, because if you don't, there is no other customer looking to buy that item. However, if you have a lot of customers looking at the same items, you can set the price and not need to haggle because you know that there is already another person wanting to pay for it. The more you advertise, the more customers you get, and the more you are in charge.
Most people don't bother to use flyers very much anymore. Perhaps they think they are too busy to put them out, or that they won't work. However flyers are not that difficult to use effectively. When done right they can bring tons of people into your sales. You just need to keep in mind that while places with bulletin boards set up for flyers and such get a lot of traffic they also get a lot of 'flyer competition'.
This means that your garage sale flyer MUST STAND OUT and CATCH PEOPLE’S ATTENTION or it will simply be lost in a sea of paper! So, use bright paper, and a LARGE BOLD HEADLINE that gets attention by being different. Then let the rest of the flyer give the details of your sale. Let me say that a little differently: you need to use a headline that causes people to stop and read your flyer.
This does not mean you need to be wildly promotional or crazy with your headlines. But if there are 19 flyers on the board that say "Garage Sale on Saturday", and your's is the same, it just won't be read. However if your flyer says something different it will attract more attention. So try something like the following instead:
- We’ve Got What You Need for your garden at 90% off new prices
- Huge Discounts On all Home Products this Saturday
Then all you need to do is print them up and put them in your car and ask if you can post one at every store you visit during your weeks chores. No extra work is involved at all. Take these ideas and run with them and your next garage sale will be on its way to a resounding success.

Freelance Design tricks - How to get away with murder in the workplace
Every large design company whether it's a multi-national branding corporation or a regular down at heel tatty magazine publisher needs to fill holes in the workforce. If the canny freelance designer plays his or her cards right, he can earn a tidy sum while essentially loafing at home. Here's how...
Have a handy repotoire of excuses lined up
Everyone has heard of the line 'the dog ate it...' or 'I left it in my jeans when it went into the wash' to avoid handing in an assignment but how often do we actually use them? Some of these old well worn excuses are due for a renaissance period. A boss is far more likely to give you the benefit of the doubt when you use one of these old dogs as they will question your sanity for attempting to use such an audacious excuse. Reverse psychology. Use it to your advantage
Backstabbing - Is it so wrong?
A favourite trick to pull on another member of staff is to sow the seeds of doubt in the rest of the full-timers minds about your chosen fall guy. Office politics can play a huge role in screwing with their heads. Why not try surreptiously planting somebody elses scissors or staplers in the victims drawer and asking to borrow them. When they can't find them say you saw so and so using them earlier. Sit back and watch the tension build.
An apple a day...
Being a teachers pet can sometimes work wonders when you haven't bothered to layout those pages that were given to you 3 weeks ago. Coming into the office armed with a nice rich chocolate gateau for everyone will smooth over any resentment for your tarde lackadaisacal attitude to work. Another good idea is to be the coffee gopher at regular half hour intervals. When you're gone they'll really miss you and because of the caffeine withdrawal will be snapping at one another.
Outsource and reap the rewards
Everybodies doing it so why not you? If you've landed a hefty long term design job that is a regular payer, why not bump your rates up and get somebody in India or China to knock out the work for you. Unethical? Perhaps but since when did you consider the plight of individuals in far flung places? You can explain away the discrepances in language and grammar by claiming you've been working all hours
Getting away with murder
There comes a time and place when despite your best efforts to cover your ass and blame others for your laziness and ineptitude, you are going to be found out. At this stage with disgruntled colleagues lining up to put in a bad word about you, there may be no other option left but to use the failsafe rear guard action of killing someone. This will have the effect of distracting attention from your less than honest approach to handing in graphic designs on time. It's probably best to avoid murdering the boss as questions are likely to be raised and you may find the new apointed editor will not see you as part of the new team format. No, go for one of the more replacable members of staff such as Ian the sub-editor, the resulting fracas will buy you enough time to work on some new scams at another organisation
So there you go, use these tricks as and when you feel they may benefit you. But be careful the cops are sometimes pretty keen to clamp down on office genocide - only use this last option under extreme duress.

Classified advertising is a form of advertising that is particularly common in newspapers and other periodicals. A classified is usually textually based and can consist of as little as the type of item being sold, and a contact number to call for more information. It can also have much more detail, such as name to contact, address to contact or visit, a detailed description of the product or products. There are generally no pictures or other graphics within the advertisement, although sometimes a logo may be used.
Classified advertising is generally grouped within the publication under headings classifying the product or service being offered, for example: Accounting, Automobiles, Clothing, Farm Produce, For Sale, For Rent, etc. Classified advertising is different from display advertising that often contains graphics or other art work and which is more typically distributed throughout a publication adjacent to editorial content.

Free Advertising for Your Website With Traffic Exchanges
Your website needs lots of visitors (traffic) if you are going to make money from it. If you do not have a large advertising budget, an effective way to advertise your site for free is to use traffic exchanges, sometimes known as surf sites. These can bring a steady stream of visitors to your website, for no outlay - very important for a business startup if you want to make money online from home.
There are two main types of traffic exchanges - manual exchanges and autosurf. A manual exchange requires you click a link after viewing every page, but you can log in to an auto exchange and leave you computer running. It is best to checking every few minutes that all is well, to ensure you get your credits.
When you join a traffic exchange (usually free) you view other members' web pages in return for your own web page being displayed to other members in rotation. You log in to the exchange and surf, and you are credited for viewing other members' web pages. You allocate these surfing credits to your web pages so they will be displayed to other members.
There are some important elements in surfing for traffic, which may be new to you.
-- Paid/Pro Memberships - most traffic exchanges offer free membership with the optional paid upgrades. If you upgrade, there are extra benefits such as an allocation of credits per month and a higher credit ratio for pages surfed. You can also buy extra credits. You can decide whether a paid membership will help you after you have tried out the traffic exchange for free first - I have usually found that free membership gives enough credits.
-- Credit Surfing - all traffic exchanges allow you to earn credits in return for viewing other members' websites. Also look out for bonus credits: many exchanges will give you bonus credits for signing up, for surfing a certain number of pages, or they pop up as you surf, to see if you are paying attention.
-- Minimum Time Limit - you need to leave a site onscreen for a minimum length of time before you earn a credit. This is normally between 10 and 30 seconds.
-- Anti Cheat Mechanisms - to ensure that a real person is viewing your web site most traffic exchanges employ anti-cheating mechanisms. This usually means that instead of clicking a "Next Site" button you have to click on a specific icon such as a number, letter or picture from a selection, before you move on to the next site. If you fail this test repeatedly, your account will be terminated automatically, so pay attention!
-- Referrals - this is the fastest way to build up your credits. Most traffic exchanges provide you with referral pages and banners. You can use these to recruit yourself a downline. When someone signs up from your promotional web page or banner they are placed in your downline. This can earn you an immediate bonus plus a percentage of your downline credits, for example you get one credit for every 10 sites they surf.
There are hundreds of different traffic exchange websites. You can sign up for an account instantly, submit your website's URL and start surfing for credits. Some sites allow you to advertise up to five web pages. I usually include my homepage, plus pages promoting ebooks and free courses.
But the big question is - which traffic exchanges will give you results? Will you be promoting your website in the right places?
Traffic Hoopla produces regular reports to show the most productive and successful traffic exchanges to use. This report is updated weekly with the top 50 traffic exchanges and the top 10 new traffic exchanges. You can find out from this report who delivers the highest unique percentage of visitors and who will deliver quality traffic to your website. This will help you to decide, then you can sign up at the best traffic exchanges to get the biggest return for your efforts.
In the beginning you may want to set aside time to surf for credits - in fact some traffic exchanges require you to surf a certain number of sites to activate your account. Most people find they can complete their surfing in less than an hour a day
In the longer term the best way to make traffic exchanges work for your benefit is to build your own downline. Then the credits flow in as others do the clicking for you. You can recruit members by using the referral web pages of each of the traffic exchanges that you have signed up with or you can sign up with Traffic Hoopla and advertise the 10 best traffic exchanges in one go. This is what I did, and more than 50 people signed up under me in the first week. I now have a comfortable credit balance without needing to surf frequently, and l use my credits to promote my online businesses

Free Advertising Among The People You Know
Yes you can do it without being loathsome
Parties are times of celebration. They can also be a fun opportunity to network with people you don't often get to meet or be with.
This is the season for weddings, graduations, college reunions and family reunions. At these events, everyone knows why you are there. Take advantage of that connection.
They know you in connection to the bridal couple at a wedding reception, the new graduate at the graduation party, your class year at the college reunion, or who is your mother/father, son/daughter at the family reunion. But have you laid the foundation so well and so broad that they all know what you do, what business you are in, and who your market is?
Often we don't see these people enough to keep up. So celebrations are a great relaxing time to get the word out in a low key way and have fun at the same time. And if networking is not usually your cup of tea, this is a safe environment to practice.
Obviously, you don't want to be known as the MLM person cruising the room to recruit everyone within three feet. But, you do want them to know what you do and to become a great referral source for your business when they meet someone who is an ideal prospect for your business. They can't help you if they don't know what you do. Here are a few basic guidelines I suggest when you talk about work at social occasions.
- Don't ask for names - rather leave the door open for you to followup with a phone call.
- Don't sell - you don't want to become persona non-grata.
- Don't book sales appointments or bring out your datebook - followup with a phone call to do that during business hours.
- Don't hog the conversation - If you find yourself engrossed with one person more than 30 minutes, you need to close the conversation and move on. Your listener did not come to the party to hear a sales pitch by you.
- Don't corner anyone - As tempting as it might be to try to hook an ideal client, strategic partner or person of influence. Don't do it. You'll burn too many bridges.
- Do be specific about who your ideal prospect is, the person, title, company size, industry, niche, etc. - This makes it easy for your listener to relax knowing you are not targeting him.
- Do clarify what problem you solve - This will engage your listener in the benefits of your product/service.
- Do brag on one or two recent successes, opportunities, or achievements - At celebration events, everyone is in high spirits, so good news will be well received.
- Do move about the gathering and meet lots of people - if they don't know who you are, they won't be able to tell their friends about you.
When they remember you after the party, you want them to still like you and enjoy your company. To be memorable, it is important that you spend more time asking about them than talking about you. It's that easy to get free advertising among people you know at all the festivities this spring.
Parties are times of celebration. They can also be a fun opportunity to network with people you don't often get to meet or be with.
This is the season for weddings, graduations, college reunions and family reunions. At these events, everyone knows why you are there. Take advantage of that connection.
They know you in connection to the bridal couple at a wedding reception, the new graduate at the graduation party, your class year at the college reunion, or who is your mother/father, son/daughter at the family reunion. But have you laid the foundation so well and so broad that they all know what you do, what business you are in, and who your market is?
Often we don't see these people enough to keep up. So celebrations are a great relaxing time to get the word out in a low key way and have fun at the same time. And if networking is not usually your cup of tea, this is a safe environment to practice.
Obviously, you don't want to be known as the MLM person cruising the room to recruit everyone within three feet. But, you do want them to know what you do and to become a great referral source for your business when they meet someone who is an ideal prospect for your business. They can't help you if they don't know what you do. Here are a few basic guidelines I suggest when you talk about work at social occasions.
- Don't ask for names - rather leave the door open for you to followup with a phone call.
- Don't sell - you don't want to become persona non-grata.
- Don't book sales appointments or bring out your datebook - followup with a phone call to do that during business hours.
- Don't hog the conversation - If you find yourself engrossed with one person more than 30 minutes, you need to close the conversation and move on. Your listener did not come to the party to hear a sales pitch by you.
- Don't corner anyone - As tempting as it might be to try to hook an ideal client, strategic partner or person of influence. Don't do it. You'll burn too many bridges.
- Do be specific about who your ideal prospect is, the person, title, company size, industry, niche, etc. - This makes it easy for your listener to relax knowing you are not targeting him.
- Do clarify what problem you solve - This will engage your listener in the benefits of your product/service.
- Do brag on one or two recent successes, opportunities, or achievements - At celebration events, everyone is in high spirits, so good news will be well received.
- Do move about the gathering and meet lots of people - if they don't know who you are, they won't be able to tell their friends about you.
When they remember you after the party, you want them to still like you and enjoy your company. To be memorable, it is important that you spend more time asking about them than talking about you. It's that easy to get free advertising among people you know at all the festivities this spring.

Flying High with Flyers
The season, the weather, the style, the geographical condition and the mood of the people are all factors that affect the advertising outlay today. You will find that a lot of business owners spend twenty or thirty percent of their receipt in advertising. In order to give your business a start, as a business man you must shut your eyes to advertising expenditures and consider only the growth that advertising will bring as long as other conditions are equal.
For a more economical way of promoting a business you can consider using the marketing ability of flyers. Flyers are full page ads that are distributed directly to your potential customers. You can always do the flyer yourself or have them done professionally. You can put them in bookstores, coffee shops or wherever you think possible customers might hang out. Here are a few things you need to consider to get your flyer noticed and remembered.
First off, include your picture. People often like to connect with other visually. If you have your picture included in the flyer, readers may feel welcomed and at ease with contacting you. A colored picture is great yet a black and white is fine, too.
Second, use headlines that can hook your prospects to make some action. Give them a reason to read the flyer and show them benefits. You only have three seconds to accomplish this. If you are looking for a specific target market, find out the words or phrases that grab their attention. If you are unsure of what to write experiment with several to see what works until you get the response that you want.
Third, let your prospects know that they can easily purchase the product. Show them how they can order online, by phone or through fax. Let them know when they can expect to receive the product. Better yet, offer them a URL link to get more information.
Fourth, include testimonials that appear authentic. A two or three-line quote with initials, last name and a state are oftentimes not perceived as authentic. Thus, to make the testimonials authentic you can use the line “visit my web site for additional testimonials” and include live links to contact these people.
Fifth, wherever you go carry at least twenty-five or more flyers with you in a plastic sealed folder. This will protect your flyers from getting wet or crumpled and keeps them fresh. You can also place a piece of cardboard in front and in back for stiffness.
Lastly, do not stop at one try. You must follow-up. After several exposures, chances are you have already created interest.
