| Article Title :: How to Make Your Business Image Stand Out Above The Crowd |
| |
| Traditional advertising methods are still being used for
almost 90% of businesses today. The number one problem with
this, is that all everyone else seems to be following the
same old methods.No matter how expensive, does your advertising look and
sound like a lot of other advertising? If you take a look
at your business card design, flyer design, brochures,
letterheads, web page design and any other methods you are
doing, you'll probably find some very familiar pattern to
looking like your competition.Just because "everyone else" believes that the traditional
method of image advertising is the way to get business does
not mean that it is the only way...or the best way.

| Article Title :: We Know Who 'THEY' Are |
| |
| Am I the only one that does not have an “A” button on my computer? I have looked on the keyboard, monitor and hard drive I can not find that darn thing anywhere. Nobody will tell me where it is.You know the one I am talking about, right? No, not the one between the Caps Lock and “S” key.Let me explain. You can go up to some people and tell them that you are a skip tracer. If you are like me you then have to explain exactly what that means. You tell them that you use the telephone and computer to locate people that owe money. The usual response I get at this point is, “yeah, you can get on the Internet and hit “A” button and- poof! - you can find anybody.” Sou (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Is This The Way It's Always Been Done? |
| |
| Let’s face it, we all tend to get stuck in doing things ‘the way they’ve always been done’, and creating products, or services, in a similarly conservative mode.But there is another way. Why not take a new look at your business. Take the opportunity to have regular creative thinking sessions in order to break the mould. Just one session could start off a new trend.The best way to do this is to organise a group of your own people, friends, customers, and anyone else you think can contribute, to sit round a table with you, for an hour, and literally set out to think creatively on the problem of the day.Throw in a few sandwiches and coffee to kill two birds with (read full article) |
