A lot of my friends are graphic artists, they're great people and honestly, there
are a couple of them that are pretty darn good at creating art. But you're about
to learn that art, unless you sell art, won't help you attract more customers
and grow your business. After reading this article my artist friends are probably
going to like me a lot less. That's because this article uncovers some
striking truths of small business owners throwing large sums of money away by
hiring graphic artists that aren't business savvy or experienced in marketing.
I feel it's important to share this with you, the small business owner, and I
hope this will help shift how you think and invest in your future marketing and
design projects. The following are typical scenarios encountered by common carriers by customers who wish to ship a package. They are affectionately known as the "Cardinal Sins of Shipping."

Artists with no business expertise are risky investments at best. In fact, there is absolutely no way I would pay them a dime to design my marketing and advertising materials if I was a business owner. Admittedly, this is pretty harsh - I know, if you want to find out why, read the rest of this article and you might feel the same way.
"Investing money in a graphic artist hasn't worked for me", that's what Maria told me last year when we met at a networking event. Maria is a businesswoman, a fairly successful one at that, but she's had to learn the hard way something you'll know after reading a few more paragraphs.

How to Make Sure Your Meetings Programme Is ABPI Compliant
Meetings held and organised by Pharmaceutical companies are an essential way of communicating and evolving scientific research, clinical development and medical education. However, there is always the danger that they can be seen as a blatant attempt to railroad Health Care Professionals into prescribing products by using lavish surroundings and hospitality to influence them.This is where the ABPI 2006 code of practice comes into its own, specifically clause 19 which deals with the arrangement and holding of HCP meetings within the Pharmaceutical industry. The key requirement being that the main purpose of the meeting should be its content and any hospitality o

Psychology Private Practice: Should You Be Free Of Managed Care?
As you will soon find in the following paragraphs, I believe it is possible as a therapist to help people and make a good living while enjoying an enviable lifestyle. Today a mental health practitioner in private practice faces this choice: Either work under contract for a profit-driven managed-care company and accept whatever fees and conditions they decree, or find clients who are willing to pay out of pocket for high-quality services.Yes, you can decide to operate primarily outside of managed care.I have, and so have hundreds, maybe thousands, of therapists.

As I got to know Maria I learned that she'd worked with two different graphic artists that created her company identity, marketing materials, web site and her yellow pages ad. Despite all of this, she wasn't getting good return on her design investment, "I just don't understand it, everything looks good but nothing is happening". True enough, the work looked aesthetically fine but I asked her one simple question, "Did your designers ask you about your marketing strategy, your ideal target market, competitive landscape and your business objectives?" She shook her head "no" with a puzzled look, "They just designed something that looked good, should they have asked?"
Damn right they should have. But artists aren't necessarily savvy marketers and businesspeople. It doesn't even occur to them to ask about niche, product placement and marketing strategy. Hiring a designer that has no expertise in marketing or business is like purchasing a new Infiniti from the car dealer and later finding out that it doesn't come with an engine: the car looks nice but it doesn't do a darn thing, it just sits there and looks nice. Similarly, if you invested a load of money in a design project that looked nice but didn't have a positive effect on your revenue, would you think you made a bad investment? Yep, I bet you would. Still, otherwise intelligent businesspeople throw thousands of dollars away on design projects created by artists that don't know the first thing about ma
