You have pushed your cost cutting measures to the limit. Competitive pricing still keeps a full-court press on every move you make. You have launched new products, but this initiative barely keeps you in the game. Clearly the explosive, seemingly easy, growth-rates of the 90's have drawn to a close. Finding more ways to drive profit appears daunting. Remember that capitalism requires two things - growth and profits from any business wishing to remain viable. As you enter the 21st century, how will your firm cope with the financial expectations of your stakeholders?

Improving asset productivity may be part of the answer.

Retaining customers is a key to any business and with promotional pens this objective is made much easier and at a price which can meet almost any budget restraints.

Developing a potential client base is as important as retaining the existing customers. They determine the future prospect of a business. Enterprises are employing promotional products to address the brand ignorant audience and to bring them within the ambit of prospective consumers. However, not all the promotional ventures are successful. It must be understood that only if the promo items are competent enough to cast a firm impression in the minds of the audience that they can be made interested in the brand. Among the throng of promotional gifts, promotional pens are the one that satisfies this criteria. They tend to leave an indelible mark of the brand they represent in the memory space of the user.

- Accident Investigation is responsible, effective and helps the bottom line.-

"On the continent," says Lorna Ramsay, Director of the TOP-SET® Investigation System, referring to Europe, there's corporate manslaughter. The CEO can be put in jail if people are injured or killed on-the-job. This concentrates the mind of the CEO wonderfully," she added.

This statement got my attention. How about you?

I'm interested in the use of 'gut feeling' or intuition in the workplace, among other skills considered "soft," and I'd heard Lorna taught engineers who work in nuclear plants, the oil and gas, explosives and other high hazard industries, how to stay safe by using their intuition - as part of using the TOP-SET® Investigation System.

There are far too many people in Advertising expressing opinions about the fate (and future) of Advertising.     Unfortunately none of them appears to focus on the main cause of the problem, the misunderstanding of the word "communication"!

Could it be that there is truth in the fact that big Advertising agencies performance deteriorate when they grow beyond a certain size?

Could it be that knowledge is so scarce regarding what exactly is communication?

Could it be that Advertising agencies have become inefficient, thus contributing to Advertising failure?

Could it be that Senior Management have become counter productive. Hierarchy stifles originality?

You need two special ingredients to make this
marketing strategy work successfully. You will need
a product that your target audience will perceive as
being extremely valuable and something that you
can afford to giveaway.

What is this secret, you ask? Tell your visitors they
can have your product at no cost if they advertise
your Web site.

You can make your product extremely valuable by
selling it. Write up a persuasive, full page ad for the
product & set up a real ordering system. The higher
the price you charge, the more people perceive it as
being valuable. A word of warning, don't price it at
an unbelievably high price.
