Are You In The Game
| |
| Have you ever noticed that it is the people in the stands who supposedly know everything about the game? They give all kinds of advice, but you don't see them actually in the game. It is as if the game exists only for them. Many will say that yes, the game does exist for the fans, for without the fans, where would the game be? I'd like to throw a wrench into that argument and say that, yes the fans are an important part of the game, but without the players, the game wouldn't exist either. |

The New Old Timey Customer Service
| |
| Whatever happened to Lee Roy Clark? Mr. Clark was the grocer in my South Georgia hometown. He was my introduction to what it meant to be a "merchant"—courteous and eager to help all who came into his small all-purpose store. The business world is today rediscovering the value of service that permeated Lee Roy Clark's bones. The Lee Roy Clarks of yesteryear get no credit for using methods now attributed to Disney, USAA, Nordstorm, and Ritz-Carlton Hotels. What happened between the early 1950s version of small-town service and its present-day renaissance? How did the business world move so far away from Lee Roy Clark and why is his brand of customer service now so eagerly sought? |

Community Involvement the Wrong Way
| |
| There are wrong ways to demonstrate community involvement as well. If you volunteer to work on a committee but are never available for meetings, or if you sponsor a little league team and don't show up for games, you're proving yourself to be crass and superficial, probably sucking up the community to get business instead of working for it for altruistic reasons. Consumers are more sophisticated than ever these days. People know the difference between serving the community and serving yourself. If you're not willing to devote honest time and energy to your community, you're better off skipping this weapon and leaving it to the real guerrillas in your community. I just hope for your sake that none are your direct competitors. |

Get Free Publicity Through Community Events
| |
| Promotional strategies like holding special community events are used both by small and large businesses to reach out and relate to their prospective clients. Such social events; like festivals and concerts, are crowd pullers and companies can leverage a lot from such occasions. Besides promoting their products and services, these events help in generating a good will for the company. Participating and contributing in community events can be a trust and confidence building advertising exercise for businesses looking for publicity and visibility.
You can make your promotional campaign more effective if you offer some tangible items to take away at such events like conventions, fundraising events, community service events, community expos, trade shows, health fairs etc.
Your audience feels excited about the gifts. |

Rural Broadband In America
| |
| Rural Americans spend most of the first thirty years of the 20th century in the dark. By the early 1930’s only ten percent of the rural population enjoyed the benefits of electricity compared to over 70% of their urban counterparts. Most of the electricity available to farmers was provided by cooperatives – groups of residents who laid the line, set up and maintained the systems as public utilities had little desire to spend what was necessary to serve so few. With the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (7 U.S.C. 901-950b) rural electric development took off. Most of the loans the Act made available were given to these local cooperatives. Today, electric cooperatives own and maintain almost half of all distribution lines in the country. |

Logo Design and Website Design Packages
| |
| If you are starting your own business, then you must realize that advertising it is one of the most crucial points. There aren\'t many businesses today, small or large, that don\'t have a website and logo because they have learned that those two items are absolutely necessary. Granted, if you live in one of the small rural towns, you may have a few shops that haven\'t gone hi tech yet, but those are basically only interested in local business anyway. Even a lot of the “Mom and Pop” stores are selling, not just from their location, but on the internet as well.
