The Law of Social Proof. The Law of Authority. The Law of Contrast. Do these terms mean anything to you? They will in a moment!You won't find these laws in your country's Constitution or legal writings, but whether you realize it or not they affect your life every day. That's because these laws are being used to influence your thoughts and actions all the time, without your even realizing it.We all know, of course, that the advertising industry is constantly "pushing our buttons" --- that's how they persuade us to buy the goods and services they are selling. We accept that. Sometimes we are aware of the tactics and consciously decide whether or not to respond, but for most of the time we're oblivious to them. We simply react, and very often with

There are many great advertising campaigns and marketing strategies, which corporate America has produced. Many of these great advertising campaigns have won awards and many deserve them. One of the greatest advertising achievements was done with Avis Rent a Car. Perhaps you'll remember the; We Try Harder; advertising campaign?It is interesting because Avis Rent a Car did not bother to say they charge less, have better service or rent better cars. None of that. Hertz Rent a Car was busy telling us how quick you could get out of the airport and into a car because of their fast check-in service.Avis Rent a Car simply said; We Try Harder. To the customer this meant that they tried harder to please them and it said to the customer that Avis Ren
When setting up a business, you can get so overwhelmed with the administration that you don’t focus on building up your network. Networks can provide a way to catapult your business forward through referrals, joint ventures, or providing industry knowledge. Networking does not need to be through formal events but can come in many forms. Even using websites to become aware of who and what is out there is useful. Giving time for self development and training activities to grow your skills, can be one area that is given a lower priority which can often lead to unwise decisions.

... Once there was a couple with serious problems in their marriage. They asked the advice of a counselor in a last attempt to resolve their conflict. After some sessions, the counselor confronted the couple with the bottleneck; a difference in emotional age between the two. It appeared that one had the emotional age of 18 whereas the other’s emotional development got stuck in early childhood. The couple was married for quite some years, had become parents and their children were soon to leave home ......Life is (not) a moving staircase where you move gradually from one level to another without noticing it. Sometimes it looks like that, but in order to manage change we need to be aware that the different levels are not accessed without taking a

It is said that “it’s not what you know, but who you know that counts”. I believe that “it is what you know that will give your head start, who you know that will get you going, who knows you (and your products or services) that will help you succeed, but what you do with your knowledge and relationships that will make you succeed.”So, stop thinking that you can do it all. You can’t. There are not enough hours in the day for you to do everything. Stop thinking that you are irreplaceable or that no one can do nearly as good a job as you. After all, we are all mortal. As an over-achieving, overly energetic, obsessive-compulsive, competitive, I gotta-do-it-all, supermom-sister-wife-daughter-cousin-friend-colleague…I learned the hard way that it’s time to

Vending machines are quite popular nowadays. After arriving in a subway train station, you do not have to locate the nearest convenience store in that area just to purchase your favorite beverage. Just look for a beverage vending machine in the entrance or exit points of that station and presto! You now have your beverage at hand.Vending machines basically dispense certain merchandise after customer deposits money. In other words, it works just like a conventional store. The only difference is it works even without a manned supervision. In addition, such machines also have a currency and value detector that identifies if the money deposited is sufficient enough to purchase the desired merchandise.Aside from each subway train station, other locat
Instead of developing a comprehensive plan that has been thought through and well researched, many entrepreneurs just dive in with a few good ideas, using a try and see approach. Often these ideas are not suited to your niche or business type, or it is the wrong timing for the stage of growth you are at. Working from the start and considering what you offer and to whom, your branding, differentiation and positioning can all be crucial steps to work through for success.
Have you a comprehensive plan that is constantly reviewed and improved?
3. Not Sticking With a Marketing Strategy
Many entrepreneurs try a few marketing strategies and when these strategies don’t work in the first few weeks or months, it is assumed this is the wrong strategy and something else is tried. Often the strategies have not been tried for long enough to fully see the benefit, or for the entrepreneur to become skilled enough to make the strategy successful.
