Why You Need To Advertise Beyond The Cash Register
Advertising campaigns need clearly defined objectives, especially when the offer is a low margin sale on single (or a few) items. Most ad efforts by small to mid-size businesses leave the real money on the table. Here's how to extend your strategy beyond the initial sale.Advertise Beyond The Cash Register Most of the retail ads I see offer “bargain basement” discounts with painfully low profit value to the seller. Sure, there’s the expecta

One of my favorite real estate investing stories is about a man in California who used to just send out offers on a hundred MLS listings at a time. He never looked at the properties. He just offered 25% less than the asking price on each one, trusting that the listing agents were pricing these homes somewhere near the actual value, and so assured that he had a good deal if the seller accepted.

Sometimes a seller would accept his lowball offer. This happens more often when you make hundreds of offers instead of just a few. Of course, he always included an "inspection and approval" clause

Selling Is Like Buying A Bathing Suit

Customized SEO – Is it Worth the Extra Cost?
If your site absolutely must be found on the first few pages of search engine results, then perhaps customized SEO (search engine optimization) is for you. But be warned, it’s not inexpensive and is something that has to be performed on an on-going basis – it’s not a one-time shot.If you engage a Customized SEO firm to do this, you can expect the following:Competitive Analysis.

Are Stocks Still Worthwhile Investments? A Reconsideration - The Odds Of A Panic
The public has generally been conditioned to buy stocks on the dip when the stock market swoons. This has happened several times: in 1987, 1989, 1998, and recently in February 2007. There was great fear during this most recent swoon, which importantly occurred with terrible breadth and on NYSE volume of approximately 2.3 billion shares traded; but the market has sharply rebounded, at least so far. A significant break from the “buy on the dip” psychology could pr

Wall Street Laughs Off Ridiculous Illegal Immigration Protests
Well the illegal immigrants and the illegal aliens promise to boycott American small businesses and the United States of America's greatest corporations and it failed to impress Wall Street. Stocks barely moved on the May Day boycotts and protests and it was a non-event. In fact, the number of people in marches and rallies was very small and totally worthless.
