Aside from advertising, the biggest expense involved in mail order business is postage. This means that virtually everyone involved in mail order is on the look-out for ways to save money getting their sales offers out to prospects. The answer is co-op mailings.Here's how a typical co-op mailing service works: A person with something to sell via mail sees an advertisement inviting him or her to send their circulars or brochures to co-op mailing service. The co-op mailing service receives these circulars or brochures and hires housewives or handicapped people to fold and stuff them into envelopes and then mails them. For this service, they charge anywhere from $10 to $100 per thousand--and it's a good deal to the mailer.Now, quite naturally the co-op mailer can do this and make any money unless he's got a number of circulars or brochures from several customers in each envelope he sends out. And that's precisely how he makes his money--by including 10 to 16 such circulars in each envelope. Look at it from a mathematical point of view; Say he cha
It would have been easy enough to register a name like SarasCrossStitchAndCrafts but we ended up registering TulipCrossings instead. It's short, simple, easy to remember, and will make for a great email address in the future.

I got yelled at tonight. Not the type of yelling that someone does when you’ve done something to tick someone off, but the kind of yelling that was a swift kick in the pants about something that I'm NOT doing.I probably deserved it. I needed to hear it. But it made me edgy and I tried to make excuses.Nope! That didn’t work. I continued to get the lecture.Now I know you are all dying to know what I did that wasn’t exactly right. Mary? Got yelled at? How DARE they?Here’s what happened. Tonight my husband and I met out a friend from swimming and a woman I set him up with on a blind date. Lets call him Bill. If you read the entry that he dances to his own tune, then you’ve met Bill.In my book, he’s a consistent and dedicated swimmer. The lecture was about the fact that: I’M NOT.I miss practice. I get there a tad late. And, I miss practice.I told him I HAVE A LIFE. I have a child! I need my sleep!He reminded me that I have a goal. I want to make nationals. I want to lower my time. I’m pretty close to doing
The name has to "fit" the business, product, or entity that it is representing. For businesses, there are two types of domain names: a business domain, and a product domain. It is generally better to secure the business domain name first and establish a web presence, and then register domain names for your products.
For example, Proctor and Gamble secured their domain name (www.pg.com) before most companies were even thinking about the web. 15 years ago, it was easy to find a single word or short combination of letters that were not previously registered. In 1992, there were only 16,000 domain names in use, today (as of December 2006) there are over 85,000,000 registered domain names, and that number increases by over 2 million EVERY MONTH.
Proctor and Game uses their main site as an index to all of their products and business information. Once a particular product had a strong brand name they also register a domain for that line, such as Charmin.
For smaller businesses, the question to ask yourself is this: What do you want your potential clients to remember: your business name, or your product name?
It should be easy to remember and easy to say. My wife would like to open her own Cross Stitch store one day and we were talking about business names and trying to find something catchy and memorable, yet generic enough that it did not lock us into a particular kind of store.

Auto sales training is definitely not what it used to be.In the 70's, you could walk onto an auto dealers showroom floor, ask for a job and be selling a car that afternoon. No experience, no background to speak of, as well as (generally) no character.The 80's changed little; however, technology began to take hold. Software began making its first entry into the world of auto sales. Consequently, auto sales training moved in a completely new direction with the first introduction and integration of technology.Things were on the move.The 90's introduced many changes. The market became extremely competitive, as technology continued to advance. Dealerships in the 90's began to embrace technology, albeit slowly.Websites were being developed by every type of market. More and more dealers began realizing that having a website was no longer a luxury, but a necessity. With technology really beginning to take off, dealers were able to integrate many of their core processes, including auto sales training, creating a more cohesiv

On a good rollercoaster ride you have no idea what to expect next. You usually expect the worst, and when anything at all happens, you scream. You might even come close to losing your lunch a few times as you are practically flung out of the car. There are exhilarating moments that can be wildly exciting, but they are interspersed with fear, apprehension, and yes - even screaming.Is this how your customers experience your business? Fun seekers may go back to ride that rollercoaster again and again, but think about businesses that depend on you for their livelihood – a little too much excitement perhaps? Business to business (B2B) companies can achieve the benefits of a strong customer experience in customer loyalty, buying preferences, and referrals to other customers. However, the relationship with the customer is far more complex than when compared with consumer product companies.B2B companies must go above and beyond doing the minimum to meet the customer’s transactional needs. B2B customer loyalty is all about being committed to a co

A while back a small business owner paid me a visit. He wanted help marketing his fitness business to women. Before we even started talking, he handed me his business card. The card was very professional and said all the right things. But it also included a huge blunder.He was pretty smart to target women as prospects for his business. After all, experts say that in the average household women control over two thirds, 75 percent, of the finances and are responsible for 80 percent of purchasing decisions. That means women wake up in the morning ready to spend money. Will they spend it with your business?And what about women-owned businesses? Well, that's a huge market too. According the the Center for Women’s Business Research, 10.6 million firms are at least 50% owned by a woman or women and the average growth rate of women-owned firms is nearly twice that of all firms. On top of that, women-owned firms employ 19.1 million people and generate $2.5 trillion in sales.So if you're targeting women as prospective buyers, you better make sure

Avoid dated clich‚s or names that might have other (uncomplimentary) associations. Each decade seems to bring unique terminology when it comes to advertising. In the 70's it was "super, colossal", and the 80's gave us the age of adding the term "o-matic" to a product name. If I were selling office chairs and looking to compete seriously with other firms, I would not register Chair-o-matic or ColossalChairs.
(These ~are~ great names if you are aiming at an offbeat, quirky market, however!)
"Pen Island" is a great name for a business selling custom logo pens. But after their site was up for a while they got the dubious reward of being listed in a humorous email last year listing the top 10 WORST website names. Their website penisland.net, looks like something completely different when the capitalization is taken out of the name, and I wonder how much of their traffic since was people coming out of curiosity to see what PenisLand was all about.
The name should be short as possible. Your domain name will end up being part of your email address, and shorter is better. From a psychological standpoint, a short domain name is also typically thought of as being an older and more established site. This is mostly due to the fact that there are very few short names left to register today, and most modern registrations are either a combination of words
