What is direct mail marketing – it is simply a means to reach your customer directly, generally through paper or electronic mail. Direct mail that comes through the post usually contains a letter, a brochure or flyer and perhaps a postage-paid reply envelop. The electronic version might take the form of a plain email, newsletter or even a fancy brochure with music and flash animation. Regardless of the format, the crux of direct mail marketing is that the sender selects who should receive the communication, based on a consideration of several factors which have helped him identify prospective customers. For example, a furniture store might ch
According to the 2005 Annual Retail Theft Survey conducted by Jack L. Hayes International, Inc. shoplifters and dishonest employees continue to steal in record numbers. The survey reports that thieves stole over $5.8 million from the responding retailers in 2005. In addition, over 670,000 shoplifters and dishonest employees were apprehended and over $127 million was recovered from these thefts.One of the most interesting (yet frightening), aspects of the survey shows that the average amount in cash/merchandise that a dishonest employee stole was $724.15 (per theft). This contrasts significantly with the average amount that a shoplifter
A few weeks ago, I met Chris at a networking event. We chatted about what his company was doing and what my business was all about. He quickly realized that his company's online solutions could be beneficial for us and said, "Charlie, we should really meet soon so that I can show you our solutions that can lead you to more business."

A quick definition of freelance software developers is warranted here. Freelance software developers are those developers who do not belong to any organization and usually work from home. The biggest advantage of using a freelancer is the price. They usually charge a fraction of what a professional organization would charge. But the pitfalls are numerous, especially if the project in question is a serious or long term one. Some of the pitfalls are discussed below:High factor of risk: Trusting a long term project to a freelancer is allowing you to be open to all the risks which might come due to issues faced by the freelancer.

Thanks to the Internet, e-commerce has made its indelible stamp on the business world by completely revamping how various companies and industries operate. And under that huge umbrella of “doing business on the Internet” falls a legendary business success story: eBay. What began in 1995 as a little website where approximately 10,000 individuals traded goods with one another during the first year, now has more than 135 million registered users with a half million of those folks making a full- or part-time living with businesses that sell on eBay.So the question that begs to be asked is: Should you add eBay as a sales venue to your opera

And this may be the reason why they seemed so complacent with their Superbowl advertising.Let us look at Bud Light advertising at this Superbowl at all the key areas of scrutiny compelled by accountable practices for marketing communications.Bud Light was launched about twenty-five years ago. It is the market leader of the light beer category. Bud Light must have a marketing
We finally nailed down one area of immediate interest and three areas for future consideration out of the list of around 10 solutions. Then I asked a few technical questions that Chris could only partially answer, so he suggested that I meet one of their software engineers for further clarifications. This was fine with me, especially because the engineer provided me with more satisfactory answers.
Before I left, Chris promised to send me a quote for the mo
