Relationship Advice: 10 More Universal Laws for Couples Today

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

By Jeff Herring The Law of Listening Listening while you read the paper, watch television, or work on the computer is not listening. Listening with your eyes, attention, and heart is listening. The Law of Apologizing A genuine apology communicates that you care enough about the other person to admit when you are wrong and to try not to do it again. Apologizing is not giving in; it’s giving your heart. The Law of Appreciating Appreciation can be as simple as “I liked it today when….” or “thank you for….” Simple, yet powerful. The Law of Anticipating It’s a human need to have something to look forward to. When you look forward together, you draw closer as a couple. The Law of In-Laws Thank the in-laws when you can. In-laws may be very challenging but they also were responsible for creating the person with whom you fell in love. The Law of Compliments Saying something nice about your partner’s dress, shirt, and haircut are all nice things. You can go farther with: “I really like the way you handled that situation.” “I’m glad I am with you.” The Law of genuine Interest Show genuine interest in your partner. You show genuine interest when you demonstrate that you’ve been paying attention to the other person. The Law of Touch, Hold, Caress A potentially fun law. Everyone needs to be touched. That one small gesture can contribute to a great deal of healing in a relationship. The Law of Knowing the Dreams of Your Partner It’s even better still when you know someone’s dreams and contribute to having those dreams come true. The Law of Ask Questions Asking questions shows genuine interest in another person. It compliments and honors them.

Marketing Techniques: What Works & What Doesn’t for a PC Repair Business

Monday, January 28th, 2008

By Jim Shutes Following are techniques that I tried, how they failed or succeeded, what works and what doesnt and why. I show many different ways of advertising your new PC Repair Business, and what to avoid. I also show several unique types of advertising that get good results, which you may have never heard of before, but they work! There is a lot here to read, but you wont regret learning everything that I have to show you. Dont make the same mistake I did, with trial and error. Let me show you what works. Enjoy! NEWSPAPER ADS I knew quite a bit about graphic design (being a graphic designer for many years), so I would put an appetizing ad, no, in fact, a COUPON, in the local newspaper. People are always looking for a discount. And EVERYONE has computer problems. So I should just get swamped with business just off this one ad. NOPE! I got one phone call from my ad. I had placed the ad in the local newspaper (our citys main newspaper) which went to 33,000 homes, and I had it come out on the biggest readership day: Sunday. The ad I placed was a professionally-designed Computer Tune-up ad that I had done, giving them a discount from the regular price of $69, to $49. They were saving $20! It was an incredible deal! But I only had one response. Why? What did I do wrong? Unfortunately, I was forced to use a horrible, red border. It is HUGE! In order to get the deal I was getting for this ad, my ad had to be put in with a couple of other ads (not related to the computer business) and have an ice cream-looking coupon border around it. The ad had all of the elements of a good coupon. It has a GREAT deal! You are saving $20 off the regular price (this is the next best thing to FREE a dollar value of savings). They have to act now (call to action) because it is for a limited time and expires in two weeks. People are graphic in nature and the picture of the computer and the words, Computer Help! in the screen will identify with people having computer problems. The headline is bold and heavy, it stands out from the rest so that you dont have a paragraph of information that people wont read, and it speaks directly to people having a slow computer (everyone has a slow computer). Then it goes on to explain the headline in more detail with a subhead. Plus, there is a GUARANTEE of a speed increase. You CANT go wrong with an ad like this, can you? Well, I did. I dont believe that the ad is evil and doesnt work. I believe that I had the ad where people dont look. Whenever you get ready to do any type of advertisement, you should test-market it, first. Whether it is an ad, a website (or page), direct marketing (such as mailers, mailed brochures or ads), etc., you should test it on different types of people to see how they will respond, and record their responses. In the case of the ad, I should have passed this ad out to several people and got their responses of the ad. I should have then placed this ad on a page with several other similar ads and got responses from different people looking at the entire page of ads, had them put down the page, and asked them to tell me what stood out. Could they remember any good deals? This would tell me if my ad would stand out in a newspaper, among other similar ads. In my particular instance of only getting one response from my great ad, it was literally buried in with other ads that looked similar to mine. In fact, my ad was not even on a page with other services, but hidden on a series of pages that had nothing at all to do with what I was offering, or computers, or even a story about a computer nothing! People who would be looking for my type of service were not going to look where my ad was, and that is the lesson: PUT YOUR AD WHERE YOUR POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS WILL LOOK, NOT WHERE YOU GET A GOOD DEAL ON ADVERTISING ! and DO TEST MARKETING. After my ad came out, I gave my wife the newspaper and asked her to find my ad (test marketing after the advertising came out too little, too late). It took her TWO TIMES of going through the newspaper, page-by-page (and this is a small city newspaper) to find my ad (and she knew what to look for and what the ad looked like). So how are potential customers going to find my ad if they dont even know that they need to look for it??? They wont! Think of it like this if you want to sell motorcycle parts, put your ad in a motorcycle magazine. You have to think like the customer. A customer wants motorcycle parts, so where should they go? They start looking at places that sell motorcycles and accessories, groups that are associated with motorcycles, magazines that cater to the motorcycle crowd, message boards and websites that are all about motorcycles. You may or may not go to the newspaper and look through every page and see if someone is selling motorcycle parts. In fact, it is probably safe to say that a person looking for motorcycle parts wont leaf through pages of articles in a newspaper, looking for motorcycle parts. They may look through the only place in the newspaper that they think might list places that sell motorcycle parts, and that would be the business section of the newspaper and/or the classifieds. So, if you were in the business of selling motorcycle parts, you would want to have an ad right where your potential customer expects to find an ad for motorcycle parts. Place the ad in those sections ONLY. Do not place it where I did (in the middle of a bunch of articles) because I got a good deal. So, in case your eyes just rolled back in your head, here is the gist of what I just said when placing an ad for PC Repair in your local newspaper, either place it in the Business Listing for Services in your area, or place it in the proper classified sections, where people will look for your type of service. Do a test: ask a few people you know where they would look in your local newspaper if they needed PC Repair Help. Lets say that their computer was running extremely slow and they needed help before they pulled out the rest of their hair, where in the newspaper would they look. Ask at least 10 people. And whatever the majority is, that is where you should place the ad (no matter how much it costs). If not, you are just wasting your money. Remember to always think like your customer. WORD OF MOUTH ADVERTISING Once I started getting customers, because I always did a little extra for the customers, I received really good word-of-mouth advertising and referrals. Referrals are gold! When you can call or stop by and see someone about computer problems that you already know that are having (from their friend or relative) and you can drop a name of someone they know who sent you, you are as good as IN THE DOOR! If your service was good for their friend, it will be good for them. And when you have the name of their friend, it is like you are their friend as well. One way to get referrals from your customers is before you are completely done with the job you are doing for them, and they can see a definite improvement, give them a piece of paper and a pencil and ask them to write down 3 friends or relatives of theirs who could benefit just like they did. Most of the time they will be happy to give you the names, if you have made them happy. If you do this at every job, your business will snowball! This is the best way to build a business: by doing a good job and having a good reputation, with a network of people who sent you to the next customers, stamped with their seal of approval. It doesnt get any better than that! YELLOW PAGES ADS A Yellow Pages ad is a good thing, but you dont need to spend the big bucks to get the biggest, most colorful ad, with ALL of your possible services, mothers maiden name, the history of your business, etc. on it. You need something a little more than the listing (just to stand out from the other guys a little). Your ad should list your company name, address, phone, and some services. One thing that has helped me get business over my competition is that I offer FREE Computer Pickup. People either dont like to, or dont know how to, unhook the web of tangled cables to their computer, for fear that they will never get them hooked back up. I offer a FREE Computer Pickup, where I come by and work on their computer right there, or I unhook it for them and take it back to my shop to work on it. And when I return, I dont just drop it off at the front door, I go in and hook it all back up for them. This is not only a HUGE benefit of them going with me over my competition (who is standing behind a pretty glass case, waiting for business to come through the door), but also shows that I really did fix their computer and it now works and works better. It is a reassurance factor and builds credibility. In a Yellow Pages Ad, you can get carried away by trying to do a long sales pitch, when, in fact, you can just list a few important things you do, and tell them to visit your website for the full details. This gets them to your website and there you can give them the full scoop and exactly how you can help them. Just dont spend $100 or $500 every month to tell a story that you can do for free on a website. Here is my Yellow Pages Ad. I spend $50 per month on this ad: (my logo) Computer Tune-Ups Small Business Networking Wireless Networking PC Troubleshooting & Repair Custom-Built Computers Computer Upgrades OnSite Support Microsoft-Certified Techs Website Design & Hosting www.LapeerTechGroup.com Columbiaville, MI (810) 793-1093 FREE Computer Pickup BROCHURES & BUSINESS CARDS Of course, you definitely need something to leave with potential and current customers. You absolutely MUST have a brochure and business card, and NOT the peel-off or perforated card stock you get from your local office supply store, and print them off on your ink jet printer! Your brochures and business cards are sometimes the only thing that a potential customer will see that represents your company. Now, you may work out of your home, but you dont want it to look like you do. You want to appear as if you are a HUGE computer company, capable of handling any of their computer needs. A basement business card job doesnt say that. If you want to gain good credibility, spend a little money and get commercially-printed brochures and business cards. You will want a good image design (designed by a professional) with raised ink on the business cards and some kind of color (no black and white business cards or brochures). If you can afford it, get matching business cards and brochures, with the brochures on a white or ivory, gloss stock (like a 70# gloss text). You dont want it to look like you photocopied the brochures. And it is proven that by adding some color to your marketing pieces, your responses are MUCH higher, than with black and white. And by having matching business cards and brochures (the same color stock and printing), you show your potential customers that you have it together and this isnt some basement operation (although it might be). Appearance and perception is everything. And your marketing material represents how you appear to your customers. Dont skip corners here; you will regret it and it will cost you more money doing it the hard way. Trust me!

Parents of the Bride

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

By Nikola Marshall These days, couples often plan, execute and pay for most, if not all, of their wedding. Traditionally there were responsibilities that the parents of the bride covered. They still do some of these things today. The parents of the bride: Plan and host the engagement party. Help with the guest list and order invitations. By planning the list, they will know how many to order with a few extra in case of last minute invitees. Assist the bride with in planning the wedding details. Make sure the brides wishes are carried out her way. Remember, it is her wedding! Take care of reservations for out of town guests for the brides family. See to it that all instructions for the ceremony are carried out, from seating schedule and receiving line as well as any special instructions. The brides parents host the reception. They purchase a gift for the groom. The mother and father also have a few separate duties. For instance the mother of the bride will: Make first contact with the grooms mother. She will choose and purchase her dress then let the grooms mother know so that she can purchase a complimentary dress. She will assist the bride in choosing her gown. The brides mother will be the hostess for the wedding and following reception. During the ceremony, she may light the family candle along with the grooms mother. She is the last to be seated at the ceremony. After the ceremony, she will store the top layer of cake for the bride and groom and will see that the wedding gown is dry cleaned and preserved. The father of the bride has his responsibilities also: He has to be fitted for formal wear that coordinates with the grooms and his attendants. He rides to the wedding with the bride. Of course, he gives the bride away during the ceremony. He is the last to leave the reception, settling bills with the caterer, entertainment and any other service providers. There is much planning that goes into a wedding, before, during and after. The parents of the bride can help make things run more smoothly and ease stress on her. The one absolute is that this is the brides special day. Parents should not dictate her choices on anything. Suggestions are one thing, total control is another. Working together is the key to a smooth operation from start to finish. Nikola lives and writes in Oklahoma. She enjoys scrapbooking, reading and interior design. She currently shares her home with two spoiled dogs. Nikola is an author on http://www.Writing.Com/ which is a site for Love Poetry.

The Biggest Problem With Your Marketing Is…?

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

By Karen Fegarty What is the biggest problem most marketers have? Who knows. We don’t, and they certainly don’t either. That is exactly the problem. Most marketers don’t know whether or not their campaigns are working because they don’t know how to track the results. I can’t count the number of people I know who create a marketing campaign and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars implementing it, then don’t even bother to track the results. How will you ever know if, when, and why your marketing is successful, or unsuccessful, if you don’t see hard data on your results? With online marketing, it’s easy to find out where and when your marketing dollars are being wasted. Using online tracking you can: Track how many people respond to your online ads - If people don’t respond, then you can simply alter your ad and try again. Track when people respond to your ads - Do they respond immediately or do they wait a week? This helps you to determine a time frame for sales activity. Track whether people are opening your email marketing or bulk email messages - If they aren’t, maybe you need to change your subject line or find a new list of people to email. Determine which ad copy or text brings the best results - The right words make all the difference in advertising. Online tracking helps you determine which words will pull sales. Monitor the click activity on your site - What you really need to know are the number of unique visitors you receive. A unique visitor is each individual visitor who clicks on your site, regardless of the number of times they click on your site. The number of clicks you receive is less important than the number of unique visitors you receive. Online tracking can tell you all this and more. Whatever online marketing you use, from banners to pop-unders, ebooks to articles, make sure you know what works and what doesn’t. Use online tracking and save yourself money, time and energy.

New Technology Pushes Mobile Phones Forward

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Julia_Hall]Julia Hall With mobile phone technology nearly ubiquitous, mobile phone service providers have been hunting for ways to gain an advantage in the market. This means adding services that are attractive enough to consumers to make them willing to go with one company over another, and hopefully pay a little bit extra for a novel and new service. This has already happened with a lot of other developments as evidenced by the fact that the majority of mobile phones can take still pictures (even some video), receive and send emails, and take advantage of text messaging in addition to normal spoken communications. The next frontier for mobile phone technology is video and a lot of different companies are trying a variety of technologies to bring it to mobile phones. Actually, people have been able to watch streaming video on their mobile phones in some areas for several years now, but this service has some drawbacks. For example, just like streaming video on the Internet, streaming video on mobile phones can be choppy and therefore frustrating to watch. Another problem comes from bandwidth. Either video will have to take up bandwidth on mobile networks, or parallel networks will have to be built just to feed wireless video to the phones. Some companies are already doing this. The latest solution to the problem of getting video onto mobile phones has come from Samsung. Samsung is producing a special chip which can be installed in a variety of devices including portable video players, lap top computers, and of course mobile phones. A device with this special chip set in it will be able to receive special over he air digital TV signals that are broadcast exclusively for viewing on mobile devices. Right now the plan is for local TV stations to broadcast the digital TV signals for mobile devices (including phones) along side a separate transmission for full sized TV’s. It’s not clear at this point whether there’s some technical reason for a separate transmission, or if it’s a purely commercial decision so that advertising or other content can be customized to mobile users. In any case, it could be a relatively low cost, as well as commercially and technically viable way to enjoy TV on mobile devices. Another way in which the mobile phone industry is trying to revive itself is with the phones themselves. Apple Inc, a newcomer to the mobile phone market, is actually instigating a fair amount of change in the market with the introduction of its new iPhone. The iPhone pretty much combines all of the functions of a smart phone- ie. digital camera, text messaging, email, web browsing, and voice communication- with the multimedia entertainment capabilities of its video iPod and the productivity features of a palm top computer. The result is a device that allows people to have access to a ton of different entertainment, communication, and productivity options right in the palms of their hands. Clearly regardless of what the mobile phone industry does, two thing are sure. First, other mobile devices will be pushed forward by the imperative of keeping up with the iPhone. And second, consumers will ultimately have to determine whether or not mobile TV really adds value to mobile phone service. A leader in [http://www.newtechnologytalk.com]technology reporting, Julia Hall has published articles about the latest [http://www.newtechnologytalk.com]digital devices and gadgets for over ten years. After graduating from MIT with a degree in electrical engineering, Julia turned down huge salaries from some of the most recognized fortune 500 companies in the world to pursue her dream of becoming a leading consumer advocate.

Pre-Employment Screening

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

By Josh Riverside A pre employment screening usually involves some basic investigation. The most important and common screening is for the authentication of the data in the resume. Many applicants have fake job experiences in their resumes. This might make the resume look attractive but might prove to be harmful to the applicant if the results turn up that the resume has been falsified. Many people expect the employers to take the resume at face value. Of course, a good resume does provide a good impression but if it is falsified, there could be no chance that the employer would consider the candidate. Basic verification of the resume includes checking the education records such as if the schools and colleges mentioned do exist and if the candidate has indeed enrolled. This can be available in the school or college records, but the investigator will have access to these only if the investigation is indeed legal and authentic. Past employment details are also verified and must comply with the details provided at the time of the interview. Referrals will be called and checked for authenticity. The exact reasons for quitting previous jobs also carry a lot of weight. It is very important to check for the applicants workers compensation history. If the candidate seems to have too many of these cases against the past employers, it is better to make sure the candidate is not in a position to sue the new company also. Other screenings include the verification of the social security number, driving history, and motor vehicle history. This is most important if the post is for that of a driver or someone in charge of the vehicles in the company. Another screening that is almost a must is the criminal history. This ensures a safe environment to the employees if the newest employee does not have a registered criminal background. This will also rule out the possibility of theft or other problems with the company. The applicant is also checked out for drug history. This might affect the work of the candidate, as well as make the other employees uncomfortable to work with someone on drugs. The applicant is also checked for sexual abuse in the state or nation sexual offenders registry. This might prove to be very unsafe especially when the candidate will be working in an environment consisting of women and children. Last, but not least is the verification of the medical and credit history. This is especially important when the company provides the medical insurance and a corporate credit card. There are a number of chances of misusing these if the candidates history regarding such as these are not properly verified. Employment Screening provides detailed information about employment screening, employment drug screening, and more. Employment Screening is affiliated with Background Checks.

An Introduction To Marriage

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

By Damian Sofsian Many people who choose to live their life by themselves experience tremendous loneliness. Humans are social animals and it is a generic need to be a part of society, bond and marry. Marriage is a commitment where couples share the events in their partner’s life until separation. Apart from its many psychological aspects, marriage is a legal agreement that allows couples to live together, engage in sexual activity, coexist, share and benefit from mutual income and property and procreate. In ancient times, the act of marriage was different from what it is today. People did not have the liberty to choose a partner or dissolve a marriage in case of incompatibility or mutual problems. Marriage was the act that permitted the birth of children and protected bloodlines so each family could produce an heir who inherited family property. Though most customs and traditions have been carried forward, the ideology behind marriage has changed. The modern society is more liberal and allows couples to be married for love and the desire to live their lives with each other. People celebrate marriage in different ways depending upon the religion, culture and place of origin and local customs. Different religious communities follow varying ceremonies, customs and tradition. Most marriage ceremonies are performed in the presence of a religious leader who officiates the event in a place of worship. Lately, the trend of couples choosing destination weddings or opting for unique marriage ceremonies has become popular. This includes marriages underwater, in parks and on roller coasters, yachts, beaches and hot air balloons. Some couples choose court marriages, also known as a civil ceremony under the supervision of a registrar. Regardless of the music, wedding clothes or feasts, the essence of marriage is similar all over the world. Marriage provides detailed information on Marriage, Marriage Counseling, Marriage Problems, Marriage Licenses and more. Marriage is affiliated with Family Marriage Counseling.

Is A Tankless Pool Heater Right For You?

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

By Mandy Fain There are many different styles of pool heaters to choose from as well as different sizes of pools they go in. Not every swimming pool even requires a heater. It really depends on the area you live in. Those who reside in Nevada or other very warm climates have not trouble at all keeping their swimming pool at a very comfortable temperature with the hot sun to assist them. Not everyone has this luxury to take advantage of though. Many people want their swimming pool to be accessible in the winter time with warm water. A great option is to use a tankless pool heater. They are very reasonable and they will help you save money as well. However, many people are hesitant to purchase one because of the cost involved. You will need to ask yourself if you intend to use your swimming pool enough to justify such an investment. If not, you may be better off purchasing a less expensive standard swimming pool heater. Tankless swimming pool heaters work in the same fashion as tankless water heaters. The water flows through heated coils to warm it instead of being stored in a tank until it is the correct temperature. This coil system makes it very efficient but as we mentioned earlier you will pay for that convenience. The cost will be approximately three times what a standard swimming pool heater runs. Of course over time a tankless pool heater is going to save you about 60% - 70% of the amount you would spend on energy using a standard pool heater. The factor you need to use here in determining if a tankless swimming pool heater is going to save you money is how often you will be using the pool. For a hotel swimming pool that gets used daily by guests, a tankless pool heater is a very wise investment. If you will only be using your home swimming pool once a week then it really wont be a good investment for you.
