How to Save Green, when Buying Blue
In the mid-Fifteenth Century, when Johann Guttenburg brought moveable type printing to the western world I doubt he envisioned the industry he would create. Today, printing is a significant line item on every business budget. Invoices, contracts, business cards, letterhead, and brochures are all part of the day-to-day operations of every business.Often when the bill comes, it feels like you are carrying the whole$90 billion industry

Designing Your Tradeshow Display on a Budget
Many small business owners make an attempt to create their own layouts for their initial trade show display. This makes perfect sense because most small business owners are used to doing everything themselves and like the idea of saving a buck when possible. At the same time they may not be sure that trade show marketing is going to help their overall marketing effort. It is often a catch 22 because they are not sure whether it will help, so they t

After reviewing thousands of web sites over the years, I have come to the conclusion that many business web sites are missing the boat.

For example, I've been working on some offline promotions and was searching for a simple targeted mailing list. I searched through about twenty sites and not one of those sites were, what I would consider, professional. Their standard blue links were enlarged to about a size 16 font, busy backgrounds, flashing images and very unorganized.

Did I purchase a mailing list from any of those sites? Absolutely not. Why? The way I see it, if those companies don't take pride in their web sites, chances are, they won't take pride in their products either. Large linked text and flashing graphics won't make sales.

Your web site is a direct reflection of you and your business. The appearance of your site is the most important factor in determining your sites value. In other words, if your site doesn't look professional or pleasing to the eyes at first glance, its perceived value and the value of your products and services will be low.

On the other hand, you may have a great web site, well designed and a quality product or service, but if it takes too long to load, the value will still be perceived as low. Why? Because your potential customer won't wait. Ultimately costing you business.

Another consideration of great importance is your content. Not just links, but content with value. When someone is surfing the net and they visit your web site, they're visiting for a reason. Your site has something they want. Whether it is your product, service or information, that's why they're there. If they don't find what they're looking for, they'll move on to the next site and so on.

If you want your visitors to stay at your site, provide the quality content they're looking for in a nicely organized fashion. Give them a reason to want to explore your site and to continue to visit your site in the future.
