Lesson #1: “Everybody likes something extra, for nothing.”
When Wrigley Jr. first arrived in Chicago in 1891, he knew that the $32 in change that was jingling in his pockets was not going to take him very far. But Wrigley Jr. had something else going for him that could rival even the deepest pockets: he had enthusiasm, energy, and talent as a salesman. It was those qualities that were going to help him come up with the idea that would get his company off the ground to a running start.

Keepers
I can see them now, Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress, garden hose in one hand, and dish-towel in the other. It was the time for fixing things ... a curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep
The Music Store Is Dead - Long Live The Music Store!
It’s all we hear about now: the Internet is radio for ideas. An idea that hits the right group of connected individuals online and it can spread in minutes. Leaders and marketers of all kinds can align like-minded people, engage them in a new idea and change the culture - usually quickly, almost always for free. Then there’s the local music store (the few that are left that it), which is fast becoming a mausoleum for musical ideas, the place to find old, dead ideas, well shelved.
Business Opportunity, Advertising, the Economy and You!
Business Opportunity seems bigger and brighter when you advertise the benefits. We have been conditioned by years of radio and television advertisements to believe that "new and improved, bigger and better, faster and sleeker" products will improve our life in ways we never thought of. Market share is determined by how well the benefits are portrayed to the ultimate consumer. The same is true in any business opportunity. Companies spend millions of dollars on advertising every year to bring their products into your home. The better the advertisement, the more likely you will buy from them. Even a one time purchase by people who just want to give it a try can increase the company profits. The goal of course is to create loyal customers who will continue to purchase products from your business opportunity.

Improving the Quality of Your Life
Imagine if we could live our lives completely free of stress. Now wake up and stop dreaming, because you can’t. No matter what job you have, no matter where you live, you will have stress in your life.
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.

How to advertise your Home based Business?
Advertising for your home based business is very important. Even when your product or service is the best, potential clients would not realize that unless you advertise. In starting a home based business, part of your plan is promotional. Advertising is a tool to your marketing strategy.
How-to Prepare Yourself for a Media Interview
Although public relations usually takes some time, there are those instances that a press release immediately hits the jackpot. For example you could email a press release at 9 a.m. and be doing a live TV interview at noon that same day. You have to prepare, to be ready when the media does call
Advertising - is it for you?
Advertising is one of those things that just about every small business owner considers at some point. After all, that’s how big companies promote their businesses, right? So, shouldn’t you be doing it as well?
Why do Ad Agencies never Advertise?
Because they know that it doesn't work!
Transformational Marketing
We’re living in a time where not only has marketing radically changed, but the medium is changing us. The internet is perhaps the closest we’ve come to a physical manifestation of the collective subconscious. To be effective in this new terrain, people need more than a modified promotional approach, they need a marketing transformation.

The Marketing Challenge: Tying It All Together
There are so many ways to market your product or service, but which is best for you? Do you try one method, do you try them all? Information overload can stop you in your tracks. You need to adopt a marketing plan and system that will give you the best results overall for your time and budget.
Lose This 5 Letter Word to Win More Sales
Had you ever considered that one five letter word can actually make you sound like everyone else?
Is Any Publicity Good Publicity?
There's an old saying that goes something like this: "All publicity is good publicity, as long as they spell your name right." Frankly, as a marketing professional, I would pretty much agree with that. Publicity means visibility, which generates awareness that could lead to interest, which combined with the credibility that earned media endows, could very easily lead to sampling or a decision to buy. (Bear in mind that what looks like a long, convoluted path on paper actually takes only seconds to register in the minds of your customers, and then you have results!)
How to Get Your Name in the Paper Without Advertising
As marketing professionals, one of the most common misconceptions that we run across in our business is that marketing is nothing more than advertising, and that advertising is the only way to get your name in the paper.

What Is The Point Of Advertising?
I was recently looking through some of my local Yellow Pages and also local business websites in my area when I started to think about the purpose of advertising. I get the weird feeling as I am flipping through some poorly constructed ads and websites that some (ok, a lot of) businesses don't understand the purpose of advertising.
Credit Card Debt Settlement - Top 5 Things to Know
Negotiating settlements is one of the fastest ways to reduce large portions of your credit card debt permanently.

Here are five major points to keep in mind when settling your credit card debt.
Improving the Quality of Your Life By Andrew Rondeau
Imagine if we could live our lives completely free of stress. Now wake up and stop dreaming, because you can’t. No matter what job you have, no matter where you live, you will have stress in your life. What causes you stress is different to what causes me stress. What you stress about is different to what I stress about. The amount of stress you can cope with is different to the levels I can cope with.
Web Analytics: Making Sure Your Online Offerings Are Working for You

Famous From One Hit? Don’t Hold Your Breath
You have an article coming out in a national magazine, or you are appearing on a television show.

While you might get some calls, it won’t be enough to create lasting name recognition. To really become famous, you need repetition.

Are You Guilty of One-Dimensional Marketing?
So if all marketing tools can work, how can this be? Far too often people treat their marketing like a one hit wonder. Someone tells them a certain marketing initiative was highly effective for them and off they go to try the marketing idea of the week. But alas, they don’t get the same result. This is because they are practicing one-dimensional marketing.
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 Recession Is A Perfect Time To Grow Your Home Business

Home Party Marketing - Podcasts & Podcasting : The Best Way To Promote Yourself
Home party companies place many restrictions on their home party consultants when it comes to marketing! When one considers the competition that is out there relative to party plan companies, it is a wonder that home party consultants are still going strong. At the end of the day in order to qualify for that commission check you must make direct sales, which translate to individual volume and personal volume. So what is a direct sales consultant to do? May I recommend podcasting?
Crafting Copy That Compels Your Customers to Act
Do you regularly guide prospects towards a sale? What are you asking? One of the best pieces of advice I can offer when creating copy is to always include an offer, otherwise known as a call to action. What do you want your customers to do? Don’t assume they’ll come to your website or storefront just because you’ve told them you’re there. Results driven advertising, marketing and promotions take more planning and effort than an “If I build it they will come” approach. Give your prospects and customers a reason to support your business. Invite them in to your storefront, request they visit your website and be sure to ask them to take action by giving them a compelling reason to do so. What are you “asking” your clients and prospects to do?

Email Marketing Redefined — Is Frank Kern God? Or Just a Minor Deity?
Conventional wisdom says you should ideally get a Customer Lifetime Value average of $1 per person per year from your list. This means on a list of 100,000, you should get $100,000 per year that your customers remain on your list. That is admittedly some decent coin. However, Frank Kern isn’t about achieving decent. Our laid-back beach bum has made $2.2 million from his list of 8000 over the past two years! That translates to an unprecedented CRV average of $275 a person! In his latest product Mass Control, Frank Kern teaches you how he can make a whopping 275 times more than the average from utilizing his powerful email marketing strategies.
On the Radio
Considered using radio for your marketing efforts? Here are some tips on how to get on to radio and made the most of your opportunity.
A Game of Golf Can Help the Game of Life
To take a little literary license and paraphrase Tim J. M. Rohrer of WSOC FM 103 radio in Charlotte, North Carolina, in golf the objective is to hit each shot well and to get into position to hit the next one effectively. Tim says this is the smart way to approach a demanding game. Concentrating on hitting each shot forces the player to focus on the current shot and to forget about past mistakes. Unfortunately, in golf and in life, we do hit some “bad shots” or things just don’t go “our way.” It is important, however, that we not let a missed shot or a bad break today keep us from doing our best tomorrow.

Now You See Me, Now You Don't - Mistakes of a Home Business Owner
Over the last few years I have witnessed home business owners go about advertising their products and services in the wrong way or not at all. Not only are mistakes made in the ways that ads are written but, also, many people have unrealistic expectations of their advertising, especially when an ad campaign has not been put together properly in the first place. Advertising is a natural part of growing and expanding your business. You cannot expect your business to grow to its utmost potential without some sort of advertising involved. This does not mean you need to break the bank to advertise.
When & How To Call The Media
You’ve decided to give your PR campaign a real shot. If you’re not in a position to hire a public relations firm or media consultant and are giving it a stab on your own, learn the ropes before moving forward. It’s important to develop your story, write your press release, build your media list and send your release out to the appropriate media. But at that point media follow up calls might be in order.
To Phone or not to Phone (pitch) The Media
You’ve come up with your story ideas and pitch angles, you’ve written your press release, you’ve sent out the email pitches and you’ve placed your release on one of the paid wire services and… nothing! Not a single editor or producer has called to interview you or write a feature on you. You’ve done everything right and everything’s gone wrong. What now? How about picking up the phone? There’s a start!

Pitching Lessons
To have yourself, your service or your product featured in the media, you need to effectively pitch the media. It’s an art. By appearing in the media you create a bridge between your company and your clients or customers. You also build your brand by establishing credibility that only comes with being featured as a news story. Your best bet is to hire a public relations firm or PR consultant to develop, launch and implement your media relations campaign for you. It can be a tricky business and you can often do yourself more harm than good by trying it on your own. But, if money is tight and you’re not in a position to retain a firm, you don’t have to wait to get started. There are some PR tips and secrets you can try. With that in mind, the following is a pitching overview.

A Prescription From The PR Doctor For A Healthy Pursuit of Media Corrections
How many times have you heard someone complain about some inaccurate segment of a news article or radio or television story? Have you ever been upset about a news story and wanted to pick up the phone or write a letter to “demand a correction or retraction?” Do you have any idea about how to go about contacting the media when it comes to requests for corrections?

Why A Top Sales Manager Needs To Be On All His Reps’ “Pre-sets”
You have to be more popular than Howard Stern. You also have to be cooler than Opie and Anthony too. Why? Because one of the most critical elements to successful sales management is to always make sure you are tuned into the radio frequency of your salespeople. Here's why. There's only one radio station that your sales executives like to listen to and that radio station is: WIFM. (You might say WIIFM, but let's not get too technical here...). This is the "What's-In-It-For-Me" radio frequency. This is the only station they pay any attention to and if you're not broadcasting on it all the time, 24-7, then your sales reps are gonna switch you over to some other station on XM or Sirius radio...or worse yet, turn off the radio completely!
