Advertising on a budget -- Using print to drive traffic online (Part 1)
| |
| Like many start-up businesses, PrescottWeddings.com didn't have much money for marketing. On top of that, we had two major challenges (three counting the limited budget):
Armed with those challenges, we went to work. Now, just over two years later, PWC enjoys well over 40,000 hits a month and has increased its advertising base by over 600%. On top of that, PWC is well on its way to establishing a reliable brand in not just Prescott but throughout Yavapai County.

Branding Lessons from the \"Jersey Fresh\" Tomato
| |
| I was born and raised in Hunterdon County. We currently reside in neighboring Somerset, but my business is still based in Hunterdon County. And while many are vocal about the quirks and craziness of the Garden State, I simply love New Jersey. I love working here, and the opportunities to have fun here. In the summertime, I especially love "Jersey Fresh" tomatoes. Not just for the distinctive taste, but also for the valuable parallels between the trademark vegetable and what we do here at Delia Associates - brand-for-growth strategies for mid-market organizations. |

What is the Value in your Supply Chain A PI Q and A
| |
| Member Question:
What is the difference between Supply Chain and Value Chain?
My Response:
To begin, the reference to supply or “value” chain is a misnomer in that it implies a sequential architecture. This is a term that is on its way out as an organization’s supply “practice” is actually centered on the synchronization of diverse stakeholders sometimes spanning multiple supply networks. This is an important distinction given the impact that real-world synchronization has on theories such as value chains.
That said the concept of the value chain was first introduced by Michael Porter in 1985 in his book, Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance.

Why Aren't the WildFire Survivors Back Home Yet?
| |
| In late 2007, the California Wildfires destroyed thousands of homes. Two years have past but many of the affected fire victims have not yet been able to rebuild their lives and their homes. Out of the more than 1,700 San Diego City and County homes that were lost in 2007, only about 55% of the homeowners have obtained building permits and started their rebuild process. Many of those have not yet finished. |

How To Create A Team
| |
| I recently attended a retreat for a year-long leadership program I'm participating in called Leadership Lorain County. There are 45 people in my class. We walked in Wednesday afternoon as strangers for the most part. We left Friday as a team who knew and respected each other.
So if 45 of us could do this over the course of just under 48 hours, why do most business owners we speak with have trouble getting their employees on the same page? |

Competitive Advantage vs. Your Business Model
| |
| Competitive advantage is not the same as a business model.
Harvard Professor Michael Porter proposed the theory of competitive advantage in 1990. His competitive advantage theory suggests that businesses should pursue policies that create high-quality goods to sell at the highest possible prices.
Competitive advantage happens when companies acquire or develop an attribute or combination of attributes that allow it to outperform its competitors. These attributes might include access to natural resources, such as high grade ore or inexpensive power, or access to highly trained and skilled personnel human resources. Other advantages could include better use of technology, etc.

Ontario Simcoe – Hit The Nature Trails
| |
| The Simcoe County is primarily famous for its pinewood forests. The region's history is tied with that of these forests. The first settlers who arrived here in the 1820s cleared vast tracts of forests for agriculture and other activities. Others felled trees for timber and wood. So much so that the dense pine forests soon gave way to level fields, with just about a few copses of trees remaining. Exactly 100 years after the first settlers arrived, Simcoe went on overdrive to replenish her forests. Today, this country has some of the best forest land in Canada. |
