Actual for You - How to Save Money as You Leverage the Power of Great Copy, Marketing and Brand Building
Big businesses get instant credibility with their well-known company name or brand name. But small companies have to create their own credibility. One of most powerful tools you can use for this is customer testimonials. Here are 5 tips to help you get persuasive testimonials ...and use them to convert prospects into buyers. 1. Continuously Collect Testimonials Start by setting up a file to store the positive comments you get from customers. Many good testimonials are hidden in the casual comments customers make during normal communications. Don't overlook the positive comments you get by phone or in person. Write them down and add them to your file. Next,
People have a FEAR of asking for what they desire and deserve. And all that fear results in is NEVER GETTING what we could have, if we'd only spoken up.

Accounts Payable would be easy if it wasn’t for all the paper, as anyone who works in the area will tell you. Paper-based, manual accounting systems have been the bugbear of corporate AP departments for decades.Even the most rigorously organised AP system has plenty of opportunities for problems, including lost or misplaced invoices; incorrect manual data entry; time lost sorting and filing paper, or trying to locate matching purchase orders. All of which leads to slow processing, which can impact directly on the organisation’s financial reputation with partners and suppliers. What’s more, manual AP systems make it almost impossible to meet the regulatory and compliance demands of Sarbanes Oxley, IFRS and others for complete document tra
Scrimping on the marketing, cutting back on the copywriting. Failing to keep pushing your name out there. Losing the customer advantage that steady search engine marketing brings.
This is what happens when you let your Inner Marketing Miser and Copywriting Curmudgeon get the best of you.
You needed complimentary advice and the copywriter came through? Great!
A friendly designer took the time to plug you on his blog, for fr^ee? Awesome!
It feels so good to know that we have online consultants rooting for us, helping us extend our marketing reach, offering support and guidance when we need it.
But as soon as we start talking bank, the friend boundaries grow blurry and we falter.
Fees and rates, negotiating project pricing... ah, the dirty words that lend a squirmy feeling of discomfort to your otherwise pleasant professional relationships.
What's a fair rate for the work that you need?
Even if you really love one copywriter's samples, should you turn them down in favor of another one who's maybe a little less impressive, but can offer you a great deal?
Seems to me, the real culprit that stands in the way of us getting our needs met, and not spending an arm and leg to achieve that, is FEAR.

“We need to communicate better!” This is the most evident catch-all solution people offer to fix all kinds of problems in the workplace – from poor safety to a failing merger; from poor management to an unmotivated workforce. And it’s true. To help people perform better in any organisation at whatever they do everybody has to find ways to communicate more effectively.However, there are three problems with the catchall “we-have-to-communicate-better”. Firstly, we don’t take time to pin down exactly what we mean by “more effective communication”. Secondly, the definite recommendations seem so simplistic and time-consuming that people don’t believe their value. Thirdly, the solutions seem so mundane - so non-sexy - that people don’t want to

5 CRITICAL REASONS THE SINGAPORE GIRL MUST STAYAbout 2 weeks ago Singapore Airlines (SIA) announced that they were opening their account for ad agencies to tender. This is after they had been with Batey Ads for 35 years. And the inevitable question predictably came up: Will the Singapore Girl, the icon of SIA, stay or will she go?I found even the slightest idea of dumping the Singapore Girl is… erm… Dumb! Below is my raw, politically incorrect opinion on the issue. If you are easily offended, skip this. Read at your own risk..1. The Singapore Girl has become synonymous with SIA. It is one of the airline industry’s most prominent figures. In fact, it is also one of the most recognizable icon for Singapore. It has even

For me, and the clients whom I trust, compromise works to overcome this fear, further cement our bond, and bring us closer to our respective goals while saving money in the long run.
And in most cases, budgeting your marketing requires having a long-term vision about your business goals.
Before you negotiate with your preferred copywriter or marketing expert, remember this:
Your money is their time. They set their rates keeping the time in mind that they will spend thinking and communicating on your behalf.
And also remember:
Their time is your money. So if circumstances make it difficult for them to carry out your request, that takes up more time, and there goes your money.
(I realize I just digressed, but it was worth pointing out anyway.)
Let's say that you work with a copywriter who charges $200 to write a press release. (Notice I didn't say "submit" a press release - that takes hours more research, time, and therefore, money).
You feel inspired and want to "put it out there." So you pay the $200. The writer delivers your goods, you send out the PR, and then sit back and wait for the action to happen.
Not a lot happens. Maybe you get a few nibbles and a flurry of hits. And then when the press release peters out, you're back to where you started, or so it seems.
And now you're thinking, what next? An article? A blog? I don't know what to do... but I do know that this marketing stuff is costing me money, and that hurts!
The problem here, is that there is no long-term vision. Marketing won't work if you do it once or twice. Marke
