Lesson #4: Never Underestimate the Power of Research
Ogilvy came from a background in research; in his early years he had worked for the world-renowned George Gallup Audience Research Institute, which he later called “the luckiest break of my life.” It was at Gallup that Ogilvy learned about research and its importance in advertising. In fact, research became so central to Ogilvy’s philosophy of creating advertising that when he opened his own agency in 1952, Ogilvy billed himself as Research Director.

Wonderful and Horrible Advertising
Because more marketing funds are invested in advertising than in any other weapon of guerrilla marketing, and because an embarrassingly huge amount of that investment is just plain wasted, marketing guerrillas know home truths about copy, graphics, what makes commercials good or bad, and why so much advertising fails.

Advertisement is driven with several motives. It establishes brand identity. It also promotes the products or services.

Most Popular Web Host Services
The funny thing about the most popular web hosting companies that are out today is the fact that they are not always the most expensive. There seems to have been a misconception in years past about having to go with a web hosting company based solely on their hefty price tag. But as time has proven, even the cheaper web hosting companies can and have become some of the most popular around and it isn't just because of the low price tag. Many of them have features just as good, if not better than their expensive counterparts and prove that sometimes good things really do come with small price tags.
Most Popular Web Hosting Companies
A web hosting company is a company that does what their name implies, they host your website.

Understanding Web Advertising
More money is wasted on advertising then any other business function. That is not to say businesses shouldn’t advertise but rather people should understand how advertising works. There are many ways to characterize ads but for our purposes let’s make it simple and separate advertising into two distinct approaches: saturation and emotional.
Leave Me Alone
Sometimes advertising can be overbearing, almost attacking the customer. Are your ad campaigns making customers say "leave me alone"?
PR for Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs can benefit more from public relations than anyone else. Why? Every entrepreneur has a story and effective public relations comes down to one thing, effective story telling. Through effective PR you become the news and with that comes credibility and validation. You not only reach your target market, you’re positioned as an expert. And, once you start garnering media placement, you can use the Internet to amplify your coverage. You can use social media and Internet marketing techniques to take your PR campaign to a whole new level.

Finding and Forming Your Corporate Identity
Just as individuals need to know who they are in order to lead fulfilling and successful lives, so too do organizations need to be clear about their identities in order to establish a stronghold in the marketplace. Your identity as a brand and essence as a company is the equivalent to an individual’s personality. It informs your culture the same way personalities instruct behavior. So understanding yourself, knowing what makes you tick and having a grasp on how you are viewed and experienced by the outside world all serve to inform the decisions you make about your behavior in business, life or both. The key is to put a little time toward thinking about it and having fun in the process.
How to create marketing that is better than Fortune 1000 companies

Best Home Business Online And Offline Advertising Ideas
You have already gotten your home business ideas lined up and your product or service ready for take-off. Now you need to get your business noticed. There are several different methods for this, depending on how and who you intend to supply this service or product to. Starting with the offline community you have several methods in which you can reach the public.
Why Feature-Selling Fails
When customers buy your product or service, what exactly are they buying? Are they buying the features that you offer, or are they buying something else, something you may never have mentioned in any of your marketing and advertising material?
House Arrest
More and more companies are sub-contracting their work. You’ve probably heard about people being laid off from their employer only to be hired back as a sub. These are interesting times. This can be a win win. Employers may have individuals who are only 70% productive yet they are paying for 40 hours of work. Many talented individuals are wasting their time sitting around an office cubicle with nothing to do. Once they are free to work from their home they can prospect for business from other companies, something they could not do while working full time. This may actually improve their income. The company benefits because now they can react to the cycle of business better controlling their expenses and profitability. Don’t you wish you could do that with excess inventory?

“The question this raises is quite simply what set of circumstances will elevate green procurement from a nice to do “boutique” status to a more meaningful (and essential) element of a sound purchasing strategy?

Super Bowl Ads Super Marketing or Super Waste of $
it was fun to watch the advertisements. I watched the ads not from a football fan or TV viewer’s perspective, but from a marketing perspective. My goal was to figure out if each ad was a super ad or a super waste of money.

Monotone- Recasting Vision For Your Life
Who do you think of when you picture someone talking in monotone? I personally think of Ben Stein who did the Clear Eyes commercials a few years back. His voice remained at the same tone throughout the commercial. He did not show any excitement whatsoever in the product he was selling. He was just straightforward, to the point, and the commercial was over. Many people would probably describe him as boring. Now, I realize that is exactly what they wanted to accomplish in this commercial for whatever reason. However, the reality is that many people live their real lives this way.
Do You Have What it Takes to be an At-Home Entrepreneur?
