Added for You - Forget Enron - The Biggest Scam Is Still To Be Exposed
This is a scary statistic. Imagine how much more successful your event would be if you could get just half of those "undecided" folks to register. Imagine how much more energy there would be in the room, not to mention how much extra cash would be in your company's bank account.It's NOT an insignificant number.This is why automatic follow-up with registrants who "bail out" before they're done securing their seat is very important.Online registration makes life far easier on both event planners and registrants, but the right system can also increase attendance and decrease cost for your company.If you don't have an automated way of tracking folks who abandon registra
It is no surprise then that with more and more competition, now including own label, there has been a significant increase in the number of advertisements, vying for customers’ attention. So, more competition in the marketplace and more competition to attract the viewer/reader to engage with the message, so what’s the solution? “We don’t show many Cl
Blogging for business can be a very effective marketing tool.The first thing you may need to know, especially if you’re very new to this, is, what in the dickens is a blog? In its most basic form, a blog is just a personal journal or diary. It’s a web space that allows you to rant on ‘til the cows come home. The word “blog” comes from a combination of the words “web log.” You can blog about absolutely anything, any topic. And the most amazing thing about blogs is that other people, all over the world may actually be interested in what you’re blogging about. The coolest part about blogs is that most of them are interactive. Most bloggers allow you to post responses to their blogs. Other reade
As we have said before, the real differences that exist between competing products is frequently perceived as no longer significant.
The result is that it is not self evident just what an advertiser has to sell that is so different and worthy of consideration.
Therefore, if no significant point of difference is apparent, why is that product more deserving of the customer’s money than any other?
It was partially because of this that we have seen a dramatic rise in the acceptance of own-label products and now services, in this country as elsewhere.
Tesco, Sainsbury, Asda and so on, all developed their own-label offerings and the manufacturers, along with their agencies observing on the sidelines, sat back and let them do it.
In some cases they were complicit in doing so.
Now own-label has become so acceptable to consumers that they not only cover grocery products and with a differentiation between value and premium, the brand extensions encompass, motor insurance, home insurance, life cover and a multitude of offers that did not exist only a few years ago.
And it is unlikely to stop there. Sainsbury’s have at the time of writing, announced plans to enter the scratchcard market as a rival to Camelot, despite being an outlet for the purchase of the latter’s own scratchcards.
It is also interesting to note that we are now subjected to messages that not only extol the virtues of branded products, they even go so far as to make a point that certain companies do not make own-label, to justify their premium pricing.
You have to take your hat off to the ad man who came up with that little gem of building a campaign out of that one.
Sadly, for the client, the horse had already bolted. But the ad men, as usual, were pocketing their fees and laughing all the way to the bank!

Does it sometimes take way longer than you expect to get fundamental ideas across to your audience?When you're promoting new products, processes, services, or best practices, does it take forever to "turn everyone around"? Do customers have trouble getting the most out of your products and services? Do employees have trouble helping your prospects and customers reap the benefits of what you offer?Maybe you -- or the experts who are helping you, whether internal or external -- are too smart!Sometimes we know too much about what we want to say to remember what questions we had when the subject was new.A fluent speaker of another language ma

Is a strong vision for your business more important than an MBA? Should you go to school or go to the school of hard knocks?When the cost for an MBA ranges from $15,000 to $50,000, you need to consider whether the traditional MBA program will meet your needs as a business owner.First, please keep in mind that most business school programs are not designed to teach you how to start a business, but how to contribute to running and managing an existing large company. Starting a business from scratch requires a completely different skill set.So, why even bother going to business school?Business school can provide you with some very strong theoretical skills, including the ab

Onyx marble has excellent uses. Onyx marble is used most often as a fireplace surround; bar top, or as a small island as it transmits light. It is also used as cabochons and for building material. Careful consideration is required when using onyx marble at your residential area. Think of your own lifestyle and conditions before purchase onyx as a countertop surface or a bar top.Other uses further include wall cladding, light duty home floors, sinks base, and tables. Onyx could also used for novelty items such as vases, urns, wine goblets, lamps and bowls. It really works wonderful where you could accent the stone and use under lighting or backlighting to draw attention of its transparent quali

Frankly, most professionals don't give a damn about how to network, because they try and sell who they are and what they do based on past success - assuming this will open doors and business. However by selling rather than marketing, many people just simply walk away with no benefit or potential outcome. Consequently events become nothing short of boring and a general waste of time. I can see you nodding.On the other hand, some professionals enjoy networking, are good conversationalists, and like finding out different people and their industries rather than telling people about them.And they may even bother to remember a few names, and ask questions with genuine curiosity...but sadly

So, more competition in the marketplace and more competition to attract the viewer/reader to engage with the message, so what’s the solution? “We don’t show many Clients this…” is a statement we have actually heard in the agency environment, (& didn’t we all think that agencies were a service industry there to tell their Clients everything in their best interests!).
Here is an example of what they are not telling. It is from America but we see no reason why it should be any different in any marketplace. The research questioned whether the expensively produced advertisements shown on TV were actually getting anywhere.
The figures began with the average numbers of hours Americans watch TV each week – forty-seven.
This consisted then, of forty-three and a half-hours of network, local independent or cable TV, two and three-quarters hours of playback of recorded video, and fifty minutes of pre-recorded rented or bought video.
Those figures applied to the average home in the average week.
Out of that time, TV provided seven and a half hours of commercials however because of zapping – or people talking or going to the bathroom. Together with all the other things that people choose to do when the commercials come on, the seven and a half hours falls to one hour twenty-seven minutes of commercials actually seen.
Translated that means that each individual sees about 120 television advertisements a week. The Networks average about 4,000 commercials a week.
So let’s emphasise because these are true figures that demonstrate why the advertising industry waste is bigger than Enron, only 120 advertisements are seen each week by the average viewer!
Is this an isolated piece of research? If only.
The Royal Mail in the UK commissioned research that produced a similar picture. It showed that more that a quarter of the people who had watched an edition of News at Ten had seen none of the commercials. Great news? Not so. Of the remaining 75%, 26% simply hadn’t paid attention, 21% had made a drink, 20% left the room, 11% were preoccupied with other things, 8%
