A Retail Holiday Tale
| |
| I had my own interesting retail experience the other day, which I think you might find entertaining. In keeping with holiday tales it may be enlightening too. I like to keep tabs on the current retail environment, and also as a consumer I enjoy going to stores such as Costco to see what interesting values their good buyers have found. The point I am making in this article is that successful retailers take the appropriate actions to deal with the environment at hand, rather than deciding it is out of their control. |

Why Put Off Until Tomorrow What You Can Do Today
| |
| Ivy Ledbetter Lee was considered to be the father of public relations, even teaching the first PR class at New York University in 1912. He was a consultant for many business moguls of that time: Westinghouse, Lindbergh, Chrysler, and Charles M. Schwab. During his consultancy work for Bethlehem Steel, founded and run by Charles M. Schwab, Lee told president Schwab that, with all Bethlehem Steel accomplished and had to offer, he and his executives should have more effective management skills. Lee told Schwab, “"I can increase your people's efficiency – and your sales – if you will allow me to spend fifteen minutes with each of your executives." |

RAMP UP YOUR BRAND - SLEDGEHAMMERS AND SERVICE BRAND PREFERENCE
| |
| By Mike Schultz and John Doerr
Swing the Hammer
Imagine the strongman game at the carnival. You lift the sledgehammer over your head and swing it down onto the platform. When it strikes the target, a metal cylinder rises up and up—20 feet up the pole until it rings the bell. On its way down the pole the cylinder passes the same words it passed on the way up: strongman, tough guy, athlete, junior, and weakling.
In a way, establishing a services brand follows a similar process. You swing the hammer (your marketing tactics, the marketing mix you employ, and the quality of your company's services) and the strength of your efforts determine whether or not your brand moves up the pole and makes it to the top to ring the bell.
The question is, “What stages must your brand pass through in order to ring the bell?”

Is Canada really rich in natural resources?: Calculating the effects of Foreign Ownership
| |
| In Toronto, CBC business reporter Jeannie Lee said there is a great deal at stake for Canada — and especially for southern Ontario, where Canada's steel industry is concentrated and where the global slump has already gutted the auto industry.
Canadian steel plants produced almost 16 million tonnes of steel in 2007, employing about 32,000 people and, by one estimate, supporting 140,000 indirect jobs, she said.

Referral Network Marketing
| |
| Referral network marketing might be one of the most underrated marketing strategies in business right now. In an age with twitter and Google Adwords, slick commercial campaigns and YouTube being the norm, people often forget about word of mouth and a simple business card. Having something tangible in someone’s hands has been replaced by “hey, check out my site.” I’m not saying this is a bad thing, far from it, but don’t neglect one tool because the others look so new. Even astronauts carry a hammer (it’s a nice one that cost the taxpayers $25,000, but it’s still a hammer).
Referral network marketing is about branding yourself, branding your business, and having your current contacts make leads for you. In short, it’s about looking good enough that people will talk about you to others and spread the word about you and your service. In |
