How To Waste Money Advertising
They say that fifty percent of your Ad budget is wasted. The only problem is, nobody knows which fifty!Well it's your lucky day, because over the years, I've uncovered many key areas where advertising dollars are squandered, misspent, misdirected and misused.But first, I think it's important to define which advertisers are likely to be the m

rdware? A software company? A music service? The truth is that their image/brand/reputation, is undergoing a significant change; and to keep operating as if they were just a computer manufaturer with a popular new offshoot product would be a mistake.

That's My Eyeball!
I was checking out the independent films at Netflix a few minutes ago, when something startling happened.I came across a DVD cover with an oddly familiar blue eyeball staring at me.“I know that eye” I thought.“Wow, imagine being able to recognize an eye” I continued to silently mutter to myself.“Gee, we have amazing perceptual

Is your brand alive? I ask that because most companies operate as if their company or product brand was some fixed, static concept in their customer's mind. They may feel they already "own" a position in their customer's mind such as the quality producer, or the price leader, or the supreme service provider -- and that may be true. But what many business owners don't realize, is that a brand is actually a living, fluid perception... one that fluctuates from day to day. In essence, it's more of an evolving, growing entity than a fixed and static "thing". So if branding is living, dynamic and vital, what are you doing to nourish and grow it? And when I say nourish, I'm talking about monitoring, tending, caring and watching over it. Sounds a bit crazy? Read on.

A few years ago, Apple was known as an innovative computer maker. Now they are arguably more associated with music and video thanks to the popularity of iTunes and the iPod. So where does that put the Apple brand in the consumers mind? Are they still a computer company selling hardware? A software company? A music service? The truth is that their image/brand/reputation, is undergoing a significant change; and to keep operating as if they were just a computer manufaturer with a popular new offshoot product would be a mistake.

Unearthing The Unspoken Through Storytelling
Ssshhhhh.... Did you hear that? It's the whisper of another brand trying to be heard.Against the clamor of consumer-controlled media and me-too product introductions with me-too pricing, it's becoming nearly impossible to find a voice that resonates. Marketers are grappling with the question of how to get consumers' attention. What does it take to

Advantages of Online Purchasing
The business world is busy. The streets are filled with people with their coat and ties on and carrying their suitcases, rushing to get to daily work – imagine the view of Wall Street in New York.You find it quite difficult to schedule and to accomplish multiple tasks simultaneously. Good thing, the online technology makes our stressful lives someh

I heard a speaker at an executive leadership meeting share that 40% of an average company's revenue would be coming from a completely new source in five years. That amazed me. It speaks to the constant change that takes place in every business. And because we get so caught up in the day-to-day grind, we often miss those slowly emerging trends.

Take a few moments this week and look at your company image as if you were your brand's "gardener". Are you still in the same business that your started in? Have there been any changes in your products or services or pricing or quality that needs to be communicated in your marketing, your tag line, or your name? If you were Apple, would you just keep advertising computers... or would you present yourself as the doorway to a digital lifestyle? If Burlington Coat Factory is "More Than Just Coats" why not say what that means? If Southeast Airlines flies all over the U.S. then why keep a name that's so narrow? When Abacus Computers came to us as a leading point-of-sale provider to the restaurant industury, it wa

Have you ever wondered just what the position of controller entails? The official definition of the controller position is a corporate officer responsible for the business’s accounting activities. Sometimes this position is referred to as the comptroller. What you may not be aware of are the legal responsibilities and obligations that a controller assumes.

Warehousing is an arrangement for storing imported articles in the custom stores, without the payment of duties until the goods are taken out for use. If these articles are exported again, they are not charged with a duty. Ware housing involves the storing of goods in a warehouse or a customhouse store. It is occasionally needed and accessed to complement inbound and outbound transportation services. There are four different kinds of warehousing available, depending on the load. There are warehouses for finished goods, raw materials and for vendor- managed inventories.

These days its extremely difficult to distinguish between ethical and unethical advertising, the line between is so fine that the interpretation of it is ultimately left up to the consumer to make the decision. The closer the advertising pitch is to controversial, funnily enough, the more consumers find it appealing, get suckered in and after its too late realise the consequences. Blatant trickery in advertising in my opinion constitutes fraud and these companies should have the whole book flung at them.
