World Of Marketing28 Jun 2008 11:49 am

Do you remember how, in days gone by, salesmen would go door
to door selling their wares? These entrepreneurs would “go
the extra mile” just to have the chance to demonstrate their
products to people in their own home.

Why do you suppose they did that? Was it effective enough to
make that extra effort? And what can we learn from it?

The reason why door-to-door demonstrations of yesterday worked so well is because it gave the customer a chance to experience the product. Humans are experiential in nature. That is, we understand the world around us by experiencing it. So putting a product in our hands gives us that opportunity. We get to feel it, use it, and see how its application could benefit us.

Now nobody’s telling you to go door-to-door like the
salesmen of old . . .

But what if you could achieve the same results by illustrating its application with a verbal demonstration? What if you could provide a similar experience to your customers that was nearly as good as if they held it in their hands? Would you consider that a highly effective marketing tool? Can you imagine the possibilities of being able to get people to experience your product without actually having to hold it in their hands?

This is where using Storylines come in . . .

Stories have been used for centuries to create experiences
in order to teach, motivate, and instill values into us.
Through stories we gain experiences we might normally never
have. They allow us to see worlds we could only dream of, or may never even have dreamed of. Stories insite our senses, and trigger our emotions. They paint “pictures” for us and lead us to an understanding of things that are, often times, beyond our grasp.

But most of all, stories are master illustrators.

Can you see where this is leading?

Through a story, you can create a presentation that satisfies the senses, produces the right amount of motivation and emotion, and illustrates the benefits of your products almost as well as if you rang a doorbell, got let inside and gave a face to face demonstration.

And no one has to wear out their shoes doing it either.

To illustrate how it’s done . . .

First we’ll create a scenario, then give a storyline example

so you’ll see it in action for yourself . . .

The beauty of Niche Marketing is that you can just about create a new market out of thin air. What you’re about to witness is a Niche Market that was created where there was none before. But it doesn’t matter if you create a niche from a story, or a story from a niche, because it works both ways.

Scenario: You’re skimming through the news blogs and you
come across a clip about how there’s a growing number of
homes that are unable to get cable television piped in. The
clip goes on to say that, in many of these cases, satellite
reception doesn’t work either because most live in highly wooded areas. It concludes by informing that neither the cable
companies nor the satellite companies know exactly what to
do and people are getting really frustrated about it.

So you scour the web and find a solution that’s already
being marketed, though not very well. You read up about it
and discover that there’s a resellers program attached to
it.

You join it and present it something like this . . .

Story Begins:
—————————————————

Satellite and Cable Companies Can’t Reach Everybody

Television certainly isn’t what it used to be. Today,
through satellite and cable, you can bring in hundreds of
channels in high definition that were once nonexistent, but
now are just a click of your remote away. Up to 80% of all
households have one or the other type of network service set

up in their homes, as the old fashioned rabbit ears antenna goes the way of the rabbit test.

Unfortunately for some, the cable and satellite companies
can’t reach everyone, especially in remote parts of the
world. There are various reasons why this happens, but it
doesn’t help those who are left without.

One of the problems with cable TV is the expense that goes
into running cables through a town. All too often towns
cannot afford the contracts required to get cable, or they
feel the monthly charges would be too steep for their residents because of the wiring problems the cable companies would have to overcome. Some towns just don’t want the cables running through their streets.

The trouble with satellite is that you need a clear view of
a certain part of the sky in order to get good reception,
and many in wooded areas just aren’t able to cut down enough trees to accomplish that. So there are quite a number of
people forced to watch local TV through the haze of antenna
interferences. No cable, no satellite, no hope of it changing in the near future.

For some, who might not even get good or adequate reception
from an antenna, there’s always VCRs and DVDs. But even they can get old fast, and depending on the quality of service
from the local video store, their choices could be limited.

Recently there has been some advancement in online TV and
movie viewing, however, that just might solve the problem
for these people as well as for those who feel the monthly
fees of cable and satellite are outrageous. New companies
are springing up that offer the same services of the cable,
satellite, and even video store companies for a one time fee to download their application to your computer. One of the
leaders of this new type of online service, TV.org offers a
great package that includes a large number of TV channels,
premium movies, MP3, DVD, and game downloads.

So it won’t be long when everyone will be able to watch HBO, or the Discovery Channel without worrying about location,
budget, town ordinances, trees or anything. In this world of high tech, there’s something for everybody!”

—————————————————
End of Story

If you happen to have visited TV.org, you’ll discover that there actually is such a company, and yes, they have an affiliate program.

And yes, it was pretty much taken out of thin air! And it’s
just one example of how to use a storyline with a niche market. There are countless other ways and styles depending on your purpose and product. Isn’t Niche Marketing wonderful?

There are just so many different ways and reasons you can
come up with them. The above example came just as the scenario stated, by simply browsing the news blogs and creating a storyline based on a few short clips.

But until now, some Niche Markets were nearly as hard to get customers to, as the “brick and mortar” storefronts. The most that could be done with them is to set up a shopping cart page and generate traffic for them from the exchanges.

Then you’d have to wait and hope someone was looking for what you were selling at the exact time your page came up in their browser.

However, if you start Using Storylines With Your Niche Marketing, all sorts of new venues will open up for you. By using storylines as sales campaigns, your areas of advertising broaden greatly. You can send out press releases, advertise directly through ezine articles, create news clips for syndication, you name it!

Gender Issues Tips27 Jun 2008 10:41 pm

Women looking to achieve actual cup size gains do have options other than surgical breast augmentation. The problem is, not all of these nonsurgical options work on every woman. This article gets into the research and real results that have been attained by women using breast enhancing pills.

If you find yourself reading this article, you are probably an individual that has thought about breast augmentation, or have found yourself thinking how nice it would be to have fuller and more attractive breasts. It used to be that the only way to fuller breasts was surgical breast augmentation, but this is not the case any more.

The amount of success stories from women who have experienced great success by using breast enhancing pills in an overall regimen or strategy for natural breast enhancement, is becoming hard to ignore - even if you’re a skeptic.

These pills are composed of several elements found in nature, and known to have estrogenic and stimulatory properties when taken in certain doses and over a certain amount of time. There are other pills that contain natural compounds known to stimulate actual growth by specifically targeting the pituitary gland, which is the gland responsible for the actual growth of the female breast.

Along with utilizing an oral remedy for nonsurgical breast augmentation, there are other ways you can stimulate the growth and expansion of your breast tissue.

Although this method of breast enlargement may not be completely accepted here in the US yet, due to our generally skeptical and analytical nature, this method actually works on many women who have tried it, and natural breast enhancement methods have been used by women dating back hundreds, if not thousands of years. It may have gotten a “bad rap” because bad results tend to gain more publicity than good results, and let’s face it, this stuff does not work on everyone that takes it.

Think of breast enhancing pills as a medication. Some medications have no effect on some individuals, while that same medication works wonders on others. Not every person is going to respond the same to the identical remedy, period. Results can be expected to be different with every person, and it does definitely depend on what pill you choose.

If you choose a pill that does not contain the right ratio of ingredients, or does not contain what it says it does, you may not get any results at all, thus perpetuating the thought that natural methods for breast enhancing just don’t work.

Bottom line, make sure you get the facts before you choose. It can make all the difference in the world.

Since the times of first state formation, the policy of the state has changed greatly. Powerful slave trading states slowly changed into feudal kind of governing, than absolute power of the king or emperor came. After the Contra reformation of the Great Awakening the idea of social equality and partnership appeared. That was actually the echo of early democracy in ancient Greece and Rome. Then step by step states changed their governmental system into what they have now. What we see nowadays is a greatly developed system of international affairs and unities and it seems that there is no need to move forward now. But ways are constantly changing and we may not notice it, just taking it for granted.

After the Age of Great Inventions and Industrial revolution nothing seemed impossible for a searching man. We went deep underground to take out the greatest treasures of Earth like coal and oil, learned how to get gold and silver out of other metals. We went up to the sky and discovered space and still wonder what is in there that we yet don’t know. We built huge machines to travel safely around the globe and created different others things to make our lives easier. All the businesses that we have are quite profitable and bring good income to their holder. But what is the most expensive and income bringing business nowadays? Neither technology nor industry and culture. The greatest income into the treasury of the state brings sales of information. With the development of technology we invented internet and other information technologies that are the key to success in information sales. It is indeed a great business. At colleges and high schools students write lots of business essays to describe the importance of this market in the economics of the state. The subjects of sales are the numerous inventions that take place all over the world. Sales of intellectual property also take place. For example, it is easy to order a custom research paper on-line. Economically developed countries take advantage of the poverty of the others and use their incapability to realize a good project, investing a fortune in it. If it is successful, the fortune returns to the owner twice as big as it was before. If it’s not, well, these were not the least resources that were used. Such countries are the US, Canada, Japan, China and these are only the top figures of the information markets. Same principles are used by Germany, England, Scandinavian countries. They fight for the possibility to get information in their hands and realize it.

Information gives a new current in the world economics. It is very hard to assess the volume of it and no wonder, nobody can really figure out all the possibilities if they are only in the project line. Now the hope of the world lies in hands of inventors, scientists and creators that make the sales possible. Now we can observe the whole system created over sales. If this system continues developing, so will the new ways of incoming investments in this branch of economics. Information technologies are highly valued and will be valued even higher when the possibilities of the poor countries increase.

There has been a great craze for laptops recently. Those looking for the new montevina offerings could be kept waiting as manufacturers have already mentioned possible shipment shortages. It looks like once there are pending orders those will only mount up because demand for laptops is not dropping at all. It’s an industry which is also tough to keep up with it respect of of technology because its shifting all the time.

I’ve seen a lot of gaming notebooks being released recently. Also with the growing competiton and fast paced technology shifts, notebooks don’t maintaint their price for much longer anymore. With the advancement of dual core processors, notebook computers are worthy of gaming. Smaller parts that perform better and are more heat efficient also means that gone are the times of the enormous laptop computers for gaming. With that said gaming notebooks should never be thought of in the same league as their PC sibblings. There will be a gap and the argument here is that its not a massive deal for the majority. It looks as if everybody is possessed with creating slimmer, lighter notebook computers and I am sure we will see gaming laptops like that soon.

Speaking of gaming notebooks, the most alternatives are obtainable when they are custom built. One thing with custom notebooks is that you can get superior specification parts. Determining what you want plainly is the core advantage. If you will be doing more intensive activities on your laptop then those preconfigured models will probably not offer all the flexibililty and speed you want. Custom made notebooks serve everybody despite their specialist needs. I like that idea that there are a lot of smaller companies offering great support for custom notebooks. Yet another great factor.

I am honestly waiting to see what notebooks come out next. The super cheap notebook niche looks to be producing all the buzz at the moment. total new market has developed overnight it looks. Massive screen and supremely light, that’s what everyone should love. Stronger materials needed for such notebooks are still too expensive. I can predict its not too long before we start getting gaming notebooks that weigh nothing. Every 12 months we see new innovations so who’s guessing what we’ll see next.

The ancient history of of man and bees has been writen about for thousands of years. Specifically the human history and the use of Bee’s Wax is truly fascinating. We have often been asked where wax comes from? Well there are many types of Waxes. Bees wax has been around for a while. There are many mentions of beeswax in historic writing such as the myth where Icarus son of Daedalus put on wings of wax and as he flew too close to the sun, it melted and Icarus fell to his death. The father with more experience flew closer to the ground and made it to Italy.

In Roman times Pliny, lived from 23 AD to 79 AD and described white bees wax which he got by boiling yellow bees wax in salt water. This was then used in broth and feed to those with dysentery, it was also used as a skin softener. Some beeswax to this day is used in cosmetics. Virgil the great Roman Poet (well I do not think the stuff is that good) wrote of an invention by Pan, who was the guardian of the bees (an ancient bee keeper man) made a flute of reeds held together by bees wax. During the Middle Ages wooden panels covered with beeswax was noted by Homer a Greek poet. Many Romans were honored by having statues made of them selves made in bees wax and thus today we have the Movie Land Wax Museum in LA. Romans also wore Death Masks as well occasionally. The Egyptians used wax figures of deities in funeral ceremonies and placed them in graves.

In 400 BC Greek Historians say that Persian coated bodies were a form of embalming. The Assyrians covered bodies with bees wax and then dipped the bodies in honey? Hey honey, who knows? In 181 BC when the Romans defeated the Corsicans and imposed a tax of 100,000 lbs of bees wax. The Romans demanded bees wax when they conquered the city of Trebizond in the first century AD. In Medieval European times wax was a a unit of trade for taxes or other. In 1330 farmers in one region of France paid 2 lbs of bees wax per year. On 1632 records show that the French Monastery called for rent of 600 lbs. of bees wax per year. Also in 1371 a petition was presented to the London Court of Alderman in behalf of the Worshipful Company of Wax Chandlers, which established them as the world’s oldest English Guild. In 1483 the company received a Royal Charter with authority to oversee the craft of wax chandlery. And when faults were found to punish the offender, which included seizing the wax.

Candles of bees wax were at one time required by the Roman Catholic Church as the exclusive and only candles. The bees were brought to Puerto Rico by the church and the early priests and conquistadors.

One morning you come to work and you notice that the phone number and other contact information on your company’s website are incorrect. Having incorrect information displayed on your website is hurting your business by the minute. You pick up the phone and call your webmaster. Unfortunately, you get his answering machine telling you he is going to be on vacation for the next two weeks. Welcome to the reality of eBusiness.

Fortunately it doesn’t have to happen this way. All over the Web, website owners are realizing that manual systems for managing their websites could leave them vulnerable. That is exactly why a lot of businesses today are switching to content management system, otherwise known as CMS, to help them automate and organize publishing and management tasks on their websites. Here is why you should considering content management system as a solution to your website management problems:

Add/Update Content in Seconds
With content management system there is no need to wait for weeks for your webmaster to update few words on your website. Content management systems feature easy to use WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Editor which enables you to change content, place images, etc. without any knowledge in web development.

Share Tasks
A lot of websites are run by more then one person and multiple individuals are contributing to the content of the website. Sometimes it becomes confusing because two different administrators can publish the same content twice or skip important articles or news assuming that the others will work on them instead. With content management system it becomes really easy to share tasks and responsibilities on your website. With the help of CMS you can easily open accounts for multiple administrators and/or editors and split the tasks between them.

Customize Look & Feel
Content management systems also come with easy to customize layouts so that you can easily integrate it into your existing website or alter the look and feel of your system to your liking. With your CMS it is even possible to have multiple designs of the same website. For example, you have several sections of your website and they all require different headers or perhaps you want your navigation tree to expend with more links once you enter a specific section. All of this is possible to implement in matter of minutes with the content management system.

Reduce Maintenance Costs
By automating the building of pages on your site, you will cut substantial sums from the site’s maintenance costs. You can now easily update content within your organization without paying someone else to do it.

React To Market Changes with Lightning Speed
When you have a CMS, you suddenly have a tremendous advantage in the time it takes to react to market intelligence. You can write, edit and make updates to your content including technical information, prices, etc. as soon as this information becomes available. This could be essential if you run a websites about computer virus and new outbreaks or a news site where you need to post updates to the story often.

You can also make necessary tune-ups to your website as you go. For example, you decide that you want to show link to your site index on a more prominent position. You realize that doing so will improve accessibility of your website. With your CMS you can implement the necessary changes in minutes and compare the results within twenty four hours.

Content Version Control
Version control means that you know, and can control, what content is supposed to be live today, what is ready to go live next week, and what is being prepared by your team for the week after, and keep them separate and organized. It also means that you can have one version of a news story live now, one being written to update it in an hour’s time, and one incorporating the press release which should not go live until tonight.

What’s The Downside?
Introducing a content management system is no small matter for a business, it is a strategic tool. In integrating your system, you will expose process and infrastructure issues that may have been papered over for some time, and be forced to resolve them. However, as the scope and scale of content delivered to customer increases, it becomes a basic requirement of being in business.

Windsor Castle is considered to be the largest lived in castles in the world and the oldest in continuous inhabitation (more than nine hundred years). It is one of Queen Elizabeth’s 3 authorised homes, & is tine & time again alleged to be easily her favourite. The Royal colours flies over the Round Tower of Windsor Castle each & every time Queen Elizabeth the 2nd is at the palace - whereas, at other occasions, the Union Jack flag flies in its place.

Samuel Pepys once commented Windsor Castle to be “the solitary most loving castle around.” That was considered in sixteen-sixty-six and the equivalent is true today.

Windsor Castle Enthralling History:

The foundation of Windsor can be located in the beginning of the seventh century Saxon village of Windlesora, where the existing day community of Old Windsor can be found. The settlement of Windsor is more commonly identified as the “New Windsor” - the actual phrase “new” being used in a loose sense! Visit Windsor Castle UK and discover England?s Royal heritage.

Windsor Castle was initially constructed by the distinguished William the Conqueror, owing to his raid of England in 1066. The original frame was constructed from wood with sol fortifications. Palace held a noticeable tactical location on a tall mound on top of the River Thames, and was a division of an assortment of palaces around the City, with the Tower of London, one whole days hike away, at its hub.

The Castle was soon after recreated in stone, & grew in worth over the subsequent years. In recent times Henry the 2nd made the Round Tower and the original stone outer wall. After the English Civil War, the building’s most important role became that of a royal home. The Castle has remained totally untouched ever since the early nineteenth century, apart from the reconstruction job that followed the terrible fire in 1992.
