There are seven easy steps you can take. Here they are:
Did you know that the advertising rate sheets the reps carry are flexible? Well, they are, so negotiate for a bette price.
Ask the outlet if they will consider a trade. Small newspapers sometimes do. Many radio stations will trade for goods and services they can give away to their listeners, such as free tickets to a play or a romantic dinner.
One great way to save on newspaper advertising is to buy a whole page or a half page and split it up with other business owners in the same area, or same profession, but a different part of town. Your cost per unit goes down. For example, if a fourth of a page sells for $300, the whole page might cost $1,000, which makes your cost $250.
Many large corporations have co-op programs for people who sell their products. This means if you show or mention their products in your ad, they will pay for part of it. For more information, ask the ad departments of the companies you are considering doing this with.
Depending on you budget, you might want to consider using a media buyer. They are experts at buying advertising space and air time. They know how to get the best prices for you.
Once you have the permission of your customers and prospects you can send them all a weekly or monthly ezine that includes product info, new product releases, tips and just generally help people to know you better. Do not send unsolicited emails to anyone.
Send a press release to the media. If they like the story idea about you or your business, they will interview you and run the story for free. Another advantage is that publicity has more credibility than an ad.
Not all of these tactics will work for everyone in every situation, but using just one or two of them effectively can save you a lot of money.
I Want To Cut Myself
As any car or truck driver knows, the jump in fuel prices the past year has affected every part of our economy, and has lead to the current economic slowdown.
We all learned that water is H2O.What this means is that each water molecule is comprised of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Water in its natural state will douse a spark. By applying the simple principle of electrolysis, the hydrogen and oxygen atoms are separated into gaseous form from the water molecule-H2O. Of these atoms hydrogen gas is extremely combustible and oxygen is the perfect catalyst. The single 'exhaust' of this combustion is steam-H20-WATER! Which means it is perfectly clean. This first step toward a water-powered vehicle exists and today it can be used by you to decrease your fuel costs by 50% or more.
The cost of fuel(gas/diesel) exceeds $4/gallon as a direct and singular result of inaction by leadership in the US House of Representatives.
According to a large and growing group of US economists, the following discussion warrants review by every American.
Essential- Congress stop impeding development of any
and all energy producing methods. (oil, coal, nuclear, wind, solar, geothermal, other) RESULT- II America would be of a unified mind to solve the energy issue and become self- sufficient in this critical arena. PERCEPTION-III Energy speculators (aka investors), recognizing America's commitment, would promptly sell "call", and buy "put" option contracts, driving the commodity price of a barrel of oil from $100 to less than $50! This benefit would be seen right away;even before
new energy resources are developed. THEN a.) our gas/diesel price would drop to less than $2!!! and, (well before new energy resources could be on-line,) b.) the cost of food, air travel, anything that is reliant on transportation, would decrease.
And, once the US is self-sufficient, we would switch from being the number one importer of oil to becoming a net exporter of energy. Then, as a singular result of the US no longer being the biggest importer/consumer of oil, the rest of the World would be paying less for their energy needs by not having to compete with the US. Further, the US could then supply our European friends, and put a stop to Russian blackmail.
Congress, under the control of the Speaker, is thus affecting not just the US but the entire world economy!
What can YOU do? Write your congressman and tell him/her to take action to solve the energy problem if they want to be re-elected!
ACTIONS
1. Begin drilling for oil off-shore,and in ANWAR
2. Build refineries as indicated by the market
3. Process coal to produce clean coal oil
4. Begin the construction of at least 50 nuclear power plants
5. Perfect the process of extracting oil from shale in the Rocky Mountain states
6. Research and improve solar-powered energy where possible
7. Install Wind Power generators where practicable
8. Design/manufacture more fuel-efficient vehicles, using CNG immediately, as determined by market forces.
9. Conserve energy responsibly 10. With these energy innovations,develop the cost-effective technology to extract potable water from the oceans to simplify the methodology for use wherever in the world it's needed
Always keep in the front of your thinking that a fair and correct combination of the listed points above can only be determined by the Free Market, not by a planned economy, otherwise known as a Socialist State.
Each of these developments of our resources will open
vast employment opportunities. It has been suggested that such technical advancements, coupled with the necessary employment, would exceed that of the depression-era WPA. And the technical achievements would surpass that of the moon landing; another time when America banded together with our famous "Can Do" attitude.
