Free Stuff -- Someone Pays Even for the Free Lunch
| |
| There is a whole group of people who grew up on the Internet that believes everything
that is out there should be free. Stewart Brand set the stage back in 1984 at
the first Hacker's Conference when he said -- Information Wants To Be Free. Information
also wants to be expensive. ... That tension will not go away.
The person who stole the pre-release of Wolverine thought it was neat that he
(or she) could give it away free. Millions viewed it -- free. Millions more refused
knowing that if they really wanted to see it they should pay someone for it.
At the end of the day an organization has to put money in the cash register so
bills will be paid and people will have food/shelter. There is no such thing
as a free lunch |

How To Strategically Use The News To Identify Create New Business Opportunities
| |
| Fortunately I am a very avid reader and follower of “the news.” I pay special attention to the business sections of various media and look for trends, and opportunities within the articles that are printed there. I have made a commitment to stay abreast of business news and can tell you that this has been a key strategy for my marketing efforts over the years.
You may say to me, “So What?” Well I can tell you that business opportunities for consultants and others are out there if you know how to identify them. I also know that most consultants do not use the news because they never used some strategic thinking to connect the events in the news to potential business. I am saying to you that once you know what to look for in the news, the opportunities will become apparent. And then those opportunities must be acted upon.

Collecting the Facts for Preparing Process Maps
| |
| In two previous papers, we outlined the elements involved in setting up a process improvement project and getting the word out with a public announcement. With everyone on board, it’s time to get into the trenches.
Fact gathering is an integral part of understanding reality and preparing a good process map. Yet, it is often dismissed or given cursory attention as superficial process maps are created by an individual or group of people some distance away from the work…and thereby some distance away from reality. If you want your process maps to reflect reality, you must go to the work and see it happen.

Staying Current and Adjusting in the Retail Business
| |
| In the not too long ago past there were three main sources of live news; TV, newspaper and the radio. This older format allowed people to either look at or not look at what was being presented by the media.
Nowadays, there are countless sources of live news, thanks to the Internet. So, with so many sources of news, I select only the subject matter I am interested in and sources that I find to be accurate; hence "selectively".
It is obvious that we are in an economic crisis, which is old news. But it wasn't old news back in September or October of 2008. I knew that the economy was being steered into a storm, like nothing I had ever seen before. |

| |
| News releases are no longer for the news. Press releases and news announcements now serve many different functions in addition to being source material for journalists to write about. But you don't need big news - little stories are also valuable.

You don't need big news - just a good hook.
Whether or not you use a public relations agency or do it yourself, here are three good reasons why you should try to write and distribute at least one press release every month.
