Advertising Specialties - Send Your Marketing Message Across
Posted on 18. Mar, 2008 by admin.
Everybody loves gifts, and when they come unexpectedly this just adds the vigour. Marketers worldwide have been thriving on this part of human nature for decades now by capitalizing on various promotional products and advertising specialties strategies. After all, ubiquitous household items like fridge magnets or calendars meet the eye every day, so why not make it a promotional calendar with your shiny logo or a fancy to-do-list promo magnet which will literally build your brand daily?
The usual distribution channel for promotional items is certainly trade shows. Organizing dedicated trade shows or just taking part in them with a few booths of your own is a great opportunity to spread your message across – in particular by handing our a bounty of promo items like mugs, calendars, bags, t-shirts or what not! It also helps greatly if these are offered by gorgeous “booth babes” – especially if you are in the automotive business!
Henry Ford once said, that good advertising can sell anything. Some may disagree with the business honcho, but there’s certainly no denying that bad advertising strategy can undermine even the best business idea on the planet! The gist: if advertising specialities have repeatedly proved their effectiveness, there is no way you can avoid using them if you are serious about your business!

Helium Spat on Me!
Posted on 09. Feb, 2008 by admin.
I was asked to review Helium along time ago when I was working for Tap Media. Helium claims to be a community of publishers that pays its writers.
When I originally did the review, I registered at Helium and wrote 4 relatively short articles. They were nothing special but they were written for mass appeal (the more people who view your articles the more you get paid). And then I forgot about Helium.
Only today did I stumble across the site again, and I was tempted to login and see if the promise of real $$’s were there. I didn’t have any high expectations but….$0.40! Come on!
It feels as though Helium has stolen my content and tossed some loose change at my feet.
So my advice to all you budding freelance writers, stay away from the lure of Helium and its false promises. There are plenty of better places to put your content (even sell it) and make a lot more then a mere $0.40 in 6+ months.
