    How to Advertise in a Magazine
    So you would like the public to know of your company and services and/or products? A magazine advertisement is an excellent way to get noticed, but it is not so easy. This marketing strategy takes some effort and planning on your part in order to fully take advantage of the medium.Which Magazine?Magazines can be an excellent source of advertising, but you have to know which one. Besides choosing a magazine with readers that will be intrigued by your products and/or services, you most likely want to choose a magazine with a large readership. Determining the level of readership for the magazine should be one of the first aspects looked into, but sometimes the reports of readership can be misleading.A magazine may tell you that over 100,000 people will be exposed to your ad. That sounds great but the magazine only prints about 60,000 copies. You have to consider that a decent proportion of the magazines they produce are going to dealers and newsstands meanin
    ns. Quite often an advertising agency or marketer will design a logo for you that is really slick. It’s sharp. It looks really professional and Madison Avenue. However, if those designs reflect an “image” only, you will attract picky, perfectionist people; people who feel something is missing and not someone who resonates with the real you. There will be a disconnect between you and the clients you want to come.

    Ask the Right Question.

    To see if your marketing materials are attracting who you want, you have to determine just what kind of customers you want to see walking through your door. Picture your favorite client. They are probably your favorite because you have a resonance, you are vibrating on the same frequency, you have the same outlook on life. This is the type person you want to call you.

    There is an easy way to test out your logo and designs. Show your business card, or if you can your logo without all of the contact information, to some non-biased people. Someone who will tell you what they think, not what they think you want to hear. Especially show it to your favorite customers.

    Now, the trick is to not ask them what they think. You will hear how pretty it is, or slick, or they like that color. What you want t

    Image and Branding Advertising-Get over it or Go Broke!
    Out of 100 products, 90 never get past the initial development and testing stages, of the 10 that do 7 will fail in the market within 3 years.To make matters worse 80% of new businesses are gone within 3-5 years!WHY?Because a higher number of the Business Owners have no idea how to sell, promote, advertising or market their products. Most Business Owners are brilliant in their fields of expertise or they have a great product, but they couldn't market or advertising their way out of a wet paper bag!If you are serious about YOUR business then read every single word on this page. You see today I'm covering a subject that sent a lot of those 80% of businesses to an early grave!"Image and Brand Advertising"Sometimes when people go into business, they feel they have to throw heaps of money at advertising because that’s what the “Top Guns” do isn’t it?We are surrounded by image advertising everywhere we look. It’s in our face 24/7. Half the
    You walk into a room full of strangers. Your eyes scan the room briefly. You choose someone who feels likely to connect with you and walk over.

    What has happened here? How do you know who to talk to? The usual term is “sizing up” and those who are good at it prosper in their business pursuits. In this sizing up process we rely on our intuition, our “gut feelings” more often than not. But what causes these gut feelings?

    The Beach Boys weren’t wrong when they sang about Good Vibrations. Scientists have discovered the molecules of our bodies send out vibrations. We have the ability to sense the vibrations other people give off, even from across a crowded room. We respond to people whose vibrations are similar to ours.

    Marketing materials also send out vibrations we judge subconsciously, and all of these subconscious judgments are made on an emotional level.

    Don’t believe it? Try this experiment:

    Take out a bunch of other people’s business cards, or the next time you are in a networking group, gather the business cards and look at them, one by one. Don’t read the writing on them. What is your gut reaction to the colors, the design and the logo? How do they make you feel? You will like the designs that resonate with your own vibrational level.

    Why the Wrong Logo Will Cost You Clients.

    Now the big question is how does your business card feel to other people? What about your website? Are they sending out the right vibrations to resonate with the kind of clients you want?

    A business person naturally wants clients who will resonate with them because this resonance will bring increased business, but often a business card or website doesn’t quite “click” with the vision of the business owner. When there is an incongruity, say as an extreme example, a spa specializing in relaxation has a blood red spiky logo on their card and website. The difference will actually grate on the nerves. Our “gut” will tell us something’s not right, and although it may not be a conscious decision, we will not trust that business. We won’t want to do business there.

    Usually the difference is much more subtle than our example. Sometimes you are sending out a certain vibration, but your business card is sending another. The incongruence will cause the potential client to distrust you.

    An Unusual Pairing: A Therapist and a Graphic Design Artist Working Together Increase Their Clients’ Business.

    Ania Brandysiewicz developed Isedo Therapy which is an intuitive method of emotional balancing. As her clients became more balanced, more in touch with their inner vision, their fears gone, they became more creative and effective. A side effect of this emotional balancing was their businesses suddenly started taking off. They gained new clients who were more in line with their business’ vision.

    But because their marketing materials reflected their old selves, they actually became a detriment to the business. There was an incongruence between what was presented to their clients and who they were inside.

    Tania von Allmen is a graphic design artist who has created over 1500 national and international business identities.

    They had a mutual client who would see Ania and let go of the fears and negative beliefs holding her back from success. Then she would go to Tania to try to get her marketing materials to reflect her new identity. She would bounce back and forth between them like a ping pong ball.

    Finally they got together and designed a new logo and website which truly reflected her inner self. As Sheryl McKeown, owner of The Accountables says, “I started doing personal work with Ania. My identity changed and it started to be obvious to other people. But my marketing materials didn’t match my new identity. My logo was reflecting not who I was, but how I wanted to be seen. My new logo changed who started showing up at my door. I was being more from my heart. I was not ready for and was surprised at how quickly my business started growing. I was like a magnet.”

    Ania and Tania joined forces and started A Plus T Consulting. With Ania working on changing the inner beliefs that are holding their clients back, Tania then comes up with marketing materials which truly reflect their new selves. Their clients have said, “They tap the essence of a business and create a visual image of that essence.” Gary Yates, Clarity Technologies. “Ania gets you to talk and Tania develops what you say. It was unique, innovative, empowering and made me feel proud of who I am and my business.” Anita Radosevich, Career Ladders.

    Is Your Logo Sending the Right Message?

    How to Find Out.

    Have you ever met someone and instantly you think, “I don’t know what it is, but something about that guy just isn’t right. It doesn’t jive.” That person is trying to show you an image of himself and not what is really inside. You sense the disconnect between the image and the real and it makes you uncomfortable.

    Printable Name Tags
    In competitive business environments, professionalism matters very much in meetings, networking and conferences. A scribbled name tag on a shirt makes for a very poor presentation.Name tags can be produced by various methods such as engraving, stamping and printing. The first two options are still based on the brick and mortar concept of manufacturing a finished product using machines. Dies are needed to engrave and stamp the tags. Moreover, this process requires considerable time before the actual tags are produced through finalized proofs and dies.The evolution of the graphic industry and the Internet has eliminated the need for costly dies. Name tags can be designed using software tools and photos can be incorporated either by scanning or taking a digital photograph. This can be done online by the user or can be done in a graphic design studio. The design can be printed out using an inkjet, matrix printer or card printer on different paper sizes.

    Data Disasters....Horror Stories of Data Loss
    The threat of data loss exists with almost every click of your mouse. Life in the online world can be dangerous. Smart businesses will do whatever is required to minimize that risk.Have you ever lost all of the data on a floppy disk and had to redo an entire afternoon’s work? Perhaps you have rendered a music or game CD unusable because of a tiny scratch? Maybe you have experienced a full fledged hard drive meltdown that resulted in gigabytes of lost data and months, even YEARS of lost effort.The “worst case scenario” happened to me a few years ago. I received a call from a friend informing me that my home had been broken into and the burglars had not only stolen the electronics in the living room but had also taken the house’s PCs. I learned the hard way that data backup is something that every computer user who has important data on their hard drive cannot live without.

    When Should You Fire a Cleaning Customer?
    Years ago the phrase was coined, "The customer is always right." But this is not always a true statement, and keeping extremely demanding or troublesome customers may be biting into your profits. When you first started your cleaning business you were no doubt eager to get any paying customer you could get to sign on. But do you have customers whose phone calls you don't want to answer? Or are there cleaning clients on your list that are low profit, yet demanding and take up a lot of your time? Trimming these customers off your list will allow you to spend more time on building up relationships with higher profit margin accounts.Just running a business is tough and stressful. If you have cleaning customers who are never happy, are always complaining, expect you or your employees to do something illegal or unethical, or are just more trouble than they are worth; then it may be time to tell these clients to look for a new cleaning service.It often tends to be smaller acc

    Laying a Foundation for your Business
    Running a business gets so demanding, that we often can't see the wood for the trees. We become preoccupied with ensuring that everything in the business works the way it is supposed to. In other words, we spend most of our time working in the business.The problem with this operational focus is that it is easy to lose sight of what could be done in the business to make it run better. The business will only prosper in the long term if you devote a lot of attention to improving how the business works and increasing its capacity.Spending a lot of time working on the business, makes it grow in the long term. Business growth is sustainable and things just keep on getting better. If necessary, get other people to work in the business. Working on the business should be your top priority.Failure to work on the business causes it to become trapped. It is almost like the business gets stuck in a box. The business is unable to dynamically take advantage of

    If the owner of the imaginary spa mentioned above asked people what they thought of that red spiky logo, many might have said, “It’s really eye-catching,” or “it’s bold.” But if she asked them how it makes them feel, she would hear, “edgy, excited, stirred up.” She definitely would not want to attract customers who will expect that kind of experience.

    You vs. the Image.

    It is common in our society to show a different face to the world, to project an image we think will make us or our businesses more popular. Politicians and celebrities often do this.

    We are afraid if people saw the “real” us, it wouldn’t be good enough. These are the limiting fears and beliefs that will keep us from prospering. We design our marketing materials to reflect the image and not our true selves. This causes the disconnected feeling that repels the clients who would actually resonate with us.

    Being authentic, conducting business from the heart brings amazing results. The amount of people attracted to this type of honesty and open-ness is astounding.

    Experiment. Try it for one day. Talk to your customers from your heart, not trying to put on a mask. Be completely yourself.

    Then, after you see the tremendous results, you can design your logo and marketing materials to reflect the true you. You will attract your perfect new clients eager to do business with you and not the image.
