Create A Killer Brochure: 9 Steps to the Perfect Piece

Posted by admin on June 29th, 2008

If you are creating a brochure, make sure you follow these 9 steps to get best return on your investment:

1 Grab Attention
You need a hook that gets your audience interested. The headline or main text is your first chance to grab attention. Get the adrenaline pumping, tears flowing, or sides splitting. Spark their curiosity and they will keep reading.

2 Time and Convenience
Provide value by meeting time and convenience needs. Offer useful information that will be of immediate benefit to the reader, whether they buy or not. Provide welcome advice rather than untimely interruptions. Position yourself as the expert and build relationships before the sale.

3 Know Your Audience
It’s not about you. Your audience wants to know how they can increase their sales/efficiency. Find out what your audience needs, then offer it. Make sure you have a high You to I/We ratio.

4 Know Yourself
What is your product or service? Describe it in brief easy to understand language. Explain why you are a better choice than your competition. What is your advantage?

5 Make it Sparkle
Your brochure is a reflection of you- so make it shine. Unless you are a graphic designer- get help. A well designed brochure will get you more bang for your buck. A poorly designed brochure will waste money and actually drive people away.

6 What and How
Features tell you what is offered, benefits tell you how this is good news. Low fat is a feature, it won’t clog your life giving arteries is a benefit.

7 Be consistent
A brochure is one tool in your marketing tool box. All of your tools need to work together to reinforce the message- same look, same feel, colors, design and message.

8 Action!
Now what? Tell the reader what to do- call, visit website, buy today. Don’t you dare leave off any pertinent information like your phone number, address, website. Link your brochure to the next step in the relationship.

9 Copy Right
Your copy must grab attention, provide value, be audience centered, promote your advantage over the competition, be consistent, highlight features and benefits, have a call to action and be written in clear easy to understand language.

Collecting Enesco

Posted by admin on June 28th, 2008

My friends and I have been collecting Enesco for several years. We actively attend art auctions and bid on everything Enesco! We have a lot of fun finding pieces we don’t already have and winning them.

I think collecting Enesco is fun. I really like the Mary Moo Moo plates. They came in a collection of eight plates from a series called Home is Where the Herd is. I’ve had a hard time finding a complete set at an art auction, but I have found several single plates.

I started collecting Enesco right after I was married. I went to an art auction with my sister-in-law and she pointed out some items that she was collecting. The experience I had with her that day really made an impression on me.

I went to an art auction several months after the first one I attended and bought my first piece of Enesco. I got my start collecting Enesco with just one plate. I bought an Enesco plate that said Cookies are for Sharing. I have displayed it in my kitchen ever since.

I am still lacking an Enesco plate that says Cream of the Crop. It is hard to believe that I’ve been actively collecting Enesco for so long and have been unable to locate this plate. I have duplicates and triplicates of several of the plates. Each art auction I attend, I am hopeful that I will find the plate I need to complete that set.

My best friend has been collecting Enesco ever since she had a baby a few years ago. She decided on a teddy bear design for the nursery and I gave her a shower gift of several Cherished Teddies figurines for decorating with. She found more of the figurines at an art auction she went to with me and has been unstoppable ever since.

Precious Moments figurines have never been something that I particularly liked. My friend’s daughter loves them. She started collecting Enesco Precious Moments figurines after we took her with us to an art auction that had a small lot of them. She spends significantly less on her collection than the rest of us do, but I think she’ll catch up.

My husband’s birthday is on Halloween. He has started collecting Enesco Halloween statues. I bought him one statue at an art auction several years for his birthday and he totally fell in love with the work of Jim Shore.

The first Enesco statue that my husband found for himself was at an art auction we attended together while on vacation. He found the statue called Grim Reaper absolutely irresistible. I have to agree, the detail work is positively spooky! He has been searching for other pieces, but does not pursue collecting Enesco very actively.

My husband went golfing last weekend while I attended an art auction. Collecting Enesco is my passion and I rarely pass up items that I really like. I found a piece for me that added to my Moo Moo plate collection and I found a Headless Horseman for my husband’s collection.

The next piece that my husband has indicated that he wants to find at an art auction is the Jim Shore piece called Witch on a Pumpkin. I know that collecting Enesco can be addictive and it is nice that he has decided which pieces he really wants. I agree with my husband and really like the folk art that Jim Shore does.

Evaluating a coastal cruiser

Posted by admin on June 27th, 2008

Going coastal? You have abundant choices in boats
Because coastal-cruising sailors are most often sailing on tight schedules, using their boats for only a day or two or, at most, a week or two at a time, the first thing they need to consider when choosing a new boat is its speed. Not that this is the only criterion, but the faster the boat, the larger your cruising ground. On a coast where harbors and anchorages are few and far between, a slow, heavy vessel will not prove much fun. Unless you live in an area where places to pull in are only a few miles apart, it is wise to look for something that can average at least 5 knots under both sail and power if it’s a smaller vessel — say, 32 feet and under — and at least 6 to 7 knots if it’s a larger vessel. Usually this means you’ll be favoring a lighter boat with a fin keel and spade rudder over a heavier boat with a fuller underbody.

Because coastal-cruising boats are not as likely to be caught out in bad weather for extended periods, their construction need not meet offshore standards. Any of the popular mass-produced boats currently on the market should be more than adequate in terms of strength. Because coastal boats do tend to spend a lot of time tied up to docks, you may wish to focus on amenities. A substantial AC shore-power system is usually a critical item and will go a long way toward making your boat as comfortable as your home, allowing you to enjoy microwaves, hair driers, air conditioning, televisions, and other luxuries without installing such impedimenta as generators, huge battery banks, and inverters. Nor do you need big tanks. Capacities of as little as 20 gallons of fuel and 50 of water, given a mid-size boat between 30 and 40 feet, should be adequate in most cases.

Otherwise, what constitutes a well-equipped coastal cruiser varies by location. A boat based in colder, more northern waters will get a lot more use if it has a sheltered cockpit and a good heater on board. Likewise, a boat in the sunny south will need good ventilation and a good bimini to keep its crew happy. The same goes for the sail inventory. If light winds predominate, you will need a big genoa, probably a spinnaker or drifter, and a lightweight main. If your cruising ground sees a lot of heavy air, you’ll need smaller, tougher sails. In all cases, you’ll want a roller-reefing headsail with a sunstrip (so you can leave it bent on when the boat is idle) and a mainsail cover that is easy to put on and remove. The faster you can get under way, the more you will use the boat. Charles J. Doane

Performance cruisers

I’ve already urged you to favor faster boats over slower boats when shopping for a coastal cruiser. Here’s an even more radical suggestion: How about getting a boat that’s really, really fast? For a certain sort of sailor, particularly one who likes to both race and cruise, the temptation to favor speed above all else will be irresistible. If you are one of these, you’ll need to keep a few things in mind.

Lesson number one: You can’t have it all. There is a decided trend among many production-boat builders these days to enlarge a boat’s accommodations at the expense of its performance potential. There are still several boats that favor the performance end of the spectrum, but that almost always means sacrificing accommodation space. The extreme examples here are the smaller coastal trimarans and catamarans on the market. These boats are a total blast to sail and can easily top 10 knots under sail, but the living space and amenities down below are definitely minimal — though multihulls do have lots of deck space to play on. Faster boats (at least when it comes to monohulls) also tend to be deeper boats. This will limit your ability to explore shoal-draft cruising grounds.

Lesson number two: Fast is more expensive. Performance boats are often built of high-tech lightweight materials; their rigs and sail inventories are also more sophisticated. Many now sport retractable bowsprits that facilitate the setting of large asymmetric spinnakers. All this costs money. Such boats also tend to demand more maintenance. If speed is what most thrills you, you’ll need to spend more time fairing the bottom and keeping it clean, overhauling winches, and so on.

Lesson number three: If you want to race as well as cruise, be sure to do some research. Simply getting the fastest boat you can afford may not be the best way to find the best action. Check to see which types of boats are most commonly raced in your area so you can be sure of finding some interesting competition.

Laptop Demand Skyrocketing

Posted by admin on June 27th, 2008

Step aside Desktop, it’s the era of the laptop, or at least that what the high demand suggests. I just scared that like last year we will have issues getting our hands on the latest technology too. Laptop Computers have been a developing industry year on year for a number of years now and it looks set to continue. Whatever you do you’re dealing with technology that is advancing all the time so its difficult to keep up with the latest trends.

There seems to be a lot more variation and attainability of gaming notebooks these days. Because of the increased production and quick changes it means costly parts are cheaper in price than then once were. Laptops can now sensibly be used for gaming by us due to the better performance of up to date systems. Performance to one side, also worth a mention is the drastically thin case designs we are seeing these days. Ok so there still is a difference in speed no matter how better gaming notebooks have become but that should always be there. Gaming notebooks are always challenging the speed limits of laptops so its always a good yardstick of how far the technology has come in that relation.

There are always going to be a few consumers that need a laptop custom built because they need to use it for specialised work. Sometimes with bigger brands the standard of the main parts is not that good. You can usually save money on specs you do not require by specifying the system to your needs. Premade laptops are targeted for common tasks and not upto doing more specific tasks. This is exactly why custom notebooks are about. High levels of customer service and support can also be discovered when purchasing custom built notebooks. Yet a further good reason.

The next laptop computer technology will be breathtaking. I ignored to mention the giant growth of internet gadgets and notebooks. An entirely new sector has developed suddenly it looks. Large lcd and ultra lightweight, that is what people would fancy. Lighter housing needed for such notebooks are still too pricey. We’re seeing portable gaming notebooks now and it looks this is set to keep on going. Companies are always looking to differentiate themselves in this saturated market so that keeps things evolving.

As a follow up to my article “The Magic of One Numbers Part I” I now continue with Part II in this fascinating series. For those who have not read the first article, please do so now so that you can better understand this one. Here I will show you a method to perform the multiplication of any two “one” numbers regardless of size. The result of such multiplicationonce this method is studied and learnedcan be obtained effortlessly and usually within seconds. So let’s get started.

In the first of this series, I showed how to square any number which consisted of a series of 1’s. Thus after learning this method, one could square 11 or 111. In this article, you will learn how to multiply two arbitrary “one” numbers together, such as 11 x 111. To do these multiplications, you need only learn a simple rule and the restwell the restwill be simply matter of fact. After thoroughly mastering these two techniques, you will be able to mesmerize people with your new-found math skill; and for those parents out there teaching these techniques to their kids, don’t be surprised if you get some phone calls from your kid’s math teachers, after your kid has demonstrated to them these powerful and novel methods.

This method is a little more involved than the squaring technique; however, with a little thought and practice, you will come to see that it really is no more difficult to master. Let us look at the example of multiplying 11 x 111. The result is 1221. The way we arrive at this result is by making some observations and then following a simple procedure. First we observe that the smaller “one” number, 11, has two 1’s. Both numbers have a total of five 1’s. The final answer will have a number of digits equal to 1 less than the total of 1’s in both numbers, or in this case 4 digits. The answer, 1221, is obtained by noticing that if we count from 1 consecutively up to the number of 1’s in the smaller “one” number and then down from that number without repeating it, we have 1 2 1, or only three digits. We need four in the answer so we insert another 2 between the 2 and 1 to get 1221. This is always the case and the number we use to “pad” the answer, so to speak, is the number which represents the number of 1’s in the smaller “one” number.

A few more examples should make this perfectly clear. Let’s look at 11 x 1,111. The total number of 1’s in both numbers is 6. So the answer will have 5 digits. Since 2 is the number of 1’s in the smaller “one” number, and if we count 1 2 1, we have only 3 digits; however, we need 2 more, so we pad the number with two more 2’s in the middle to get 1 2 2 2 1 or 12,221 as our final answer.

Take 111 x 1,111. A total of 7 1’s so our final answer will have 6 digits. Number of 1’s in the smaller number: 3. So count 1 2 3 2 1 and observe that this consumes 5 digits. We need 6 so we pad 1 more 3 in the middle to get 1 2 3 3 2 1 or 123,321. To wrap up, I’ll show one more example and then you can go off amazing your friends and family. Take 1,111 x 111,111 or one thousand one hundred eleven times one hundred eleven thousand one hundred eleven. How many total 1’s: 10. So the answer will have 9 digits. Number of 1’s in the smaller number: 4. So we count up to 4 and back from 4 to get 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 and observe that this uses 7 digits. We need 2 more so we pad with 2 more 4’s to get 1 2 3 4 4 4 3 2 1 or 123,444,321 or one hundred twenty-three million four hundred forty-four thousand three hundred twenty-one as our final answer.

What do you think now? Do you think that armed with these techniques your kids could get better math grades? I think that’s a rhetorical question. Good calculating.
