Business stationary is often overlooked as something that is not necessary but it can help create your company’s image. It is important that it creates the right image for your business. A poorly designed letter head or compliment slip can give the wrong impression and damage your business.

Over complicated designs can look really unprofessional especially if they are not well thought out. They can also detract from the company name and contact information. Some badly designed letter heads make it impossible to read the company name which is something you want to avoid. You want to be clear and bold but also subtle. Having all the text in capitals in the largest font size that will fit on the paper gives the impression that you are trying too hard which also looks very unprofessional and cheap!

Quality materials give the impression of a professional business. Even the paper you use for letters is important. If the paper is low quality it will give the impression that you don’t care about details or about your clients. Using high quality paper will also give your business a personal touch, the equivalent of a mint on your pillow in a hotel. It’s these little details that make clients feel valued.

Creating stationary yourself seems like a good idea and appears to be the better option. However unlike a professional printer you won’t have the right machinery or materials for the job. A normal home inkjet printer will be nowhere near the quality you would get with a professional laser printer or printer press. Plus a professional will use better quality papers and inks to make sure you’re stationary looks as crisp as possible.

Professional graphic designers often have a lot more experience than you do when it comes to designing stationary layouts and business cards. They will know instantly what sort of designs will work with your company image and be able to give you their expertise. The most important thing about your company’s identity which you can only get from a professional is a unique look. There are many templates out there and some are even customisable but they still aren’t truly unique.

A professional graphic designer will be able to create a business identity for you from scratch and make it look exciting as well as unique. They will ensure that your business stands out from the rest; it’s their job after all.

Creating stationary and layouts yourself would take time and money. In the long run it would cost you more money to get a poor result than it would to pay upfront and get a professional result quickly.

The same applies when getting business cards printed. The one thing that people often get wrong with business card design is they make the designs too complicated and crowd the small space with too much imagery and text. A professional would be able to take all the different elements you want and put it together in a way that would look stunning.

Solopress is the printing company in UK with dedicated and skilled advertising professionals to help you in getting the business cards printed at cheaper rates.

1. Probably the most successful and memorable poster created is the Lord Kitchener recruitment poster from 1914. This poster was successful because it relates directly to the viewer making them seem important. It was very successful and managed to encourage huge numbers of people to volunteer to join the army. The poster is so successful that it has been reproduced and parodied many times since. The poster was recreated for America during World War 1 and World War 2. The American version has Uncle Sam on it instead of Kitchener.

2. The inspirational/motivational posters designed by Successories have become famous through the many parody posters that have been created in the same distinct style called de-motivational posters. The original posters, known as corporate impressions, were designed for offices or schools to inspire and motivate people. The designs on the posters are very simple. There is an inspirational picture followed by an inspirational quote below it with a heading such as “Success” or “Brilliance”. The background to the posters is black which makes the image stand out and gives it its distinct look.

3. The cult film by Pink Floyd The Wall is best known, after the music, for the incredible art work by Gerald Scarfe. His animations are what really gave the movie its edge. It is the artwork that makes the posters for this movie so iconic and unforgettable.

4. The posters for the ipod mp3 player have a very distinctive and instantly recognisable style. They usually feature a black silhouette of a person dancing with a bright coloured background behind them. The white ipod and headphones stand out against the black silhouette. The success of these adverts has lead to the creation of new adverts where the background is multicoloured. Like a lot of successful posters the ipod style has been parodied and reproduced many times.

5. Another cult film with a very recognisable poster is Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. The poster features the main character Alex holding out a knife though the letter ‘A’. The poster is very simple on a white background and was designed by Bill Gold. The poster captures the sinister nature of the film whilst intriguing the viewer.

6. The always controversial PETA created a striking poster for their anti fur campaign. The posters featured celebrities or models naked with the slogan “Fur? I’d rather go naked”. These posters were so successful because of the powerful messages behind them, or maybe because they featured naked women. Whatever it was that led to the success of these posters they certainly stuck in people’s minds.

7. Movie posters would not be what they are today if it wasn’t for artist Drew Struzan. Struzan is responsible for creating some of the most exciting and memorable movie posters. From E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial to Indiana Jones his posters have captivated millions of people into seeing these movies. With over a hundred movie champagnes Drew Struzan is still creating posters to this day including Harry Potter. With his complex, hand painted, compositions it’s clear that Drew Struzan really knows how to attract an audience.

8. The Guinness posters by John Gilroy were very successful. They were simple illustrations with their now famous slogans “My goodness my Guinness” and “Lovely Day for a Guinness”. Many of the posters featured the Guinness toucan. The quirky images and memorable slogans were certainly what made the posters successful.

9. The poster for the movie Jaws is simple but effective and probably one of the best known movie posters. The poster has a sinister calmness to it, the moment just before the disaster strikes frozen. The poster captures the suspense of the movie and the terrifying monster amazingly well.

10. Disguised as an old magazine the poster for Pulp Fiction is very striking. Uma Thurman lays across a bed the image of a film noire femme fatale a cigarette in one hand and a gun in front of her. The price 10 cent is one of the many details that make this poster successful.

Full colour poster printing has stood the test of time as being one of the most effective advertising strategies which can reach out to a national and international audience.

On the 22nd February 1943, three young German students are executed by way of guillotine. The crime they have been accused of and executed for is ‘treason to the Reich‘. In the days to follow several of their friends and collaborators were also arrested. Described by the local media as ‘scum and outcast‘. Today they are thought of as true heroes of their time. Some of the few, under the Nazi regime, that dared stand by their beliefs and stand up against what they believed to be a threat to the nation and people of both Germany and the rest of the world.

The movement went by the name The White Rose Movement, a group of students and a teacher from Munich university. The main members: Hans Scholl, Inge Scholl, Sophie Scholl, siblings, and Alexander Schmorell, Willi Graff, Christoph Probst, Juergen Wittgenstein and Kurt Huber. The group was far from the traditional subversive revolutionaries on the lookout for fire and trouble in the streets. On the contrary, the group consists of top medical students and a philosophy professor in the case of Kurt Huber.

It was the atrocities carried out by the SS on the war front, as witnessed by Hans Scholl, that led to the formation of the group. The friends believe that if only the truth of what is happening could be made available to the public, then the people would turn against the Nazi regime and their despicable conduct. As such, they begin to write pamphlets and flyer’s to be distributed in the night across German society. The pamphlets called for the German people to ‘stand up for what is right and decent, and pot a stop to the crimes committed’.

Since open voicing of disagreement was seen as dissent in Germany and was not tolerated, the group were forced to distribute their flyer’s any way they could under the cover of darkness. Putting them in mailboxes, in public places and anywhere where they thought they could get word of mouth to spread the message and grab people’s attention.

In 1943 the group was arrested and tried before a court. A janitor, coincidently a Nazi party member, had seen Hans Scholl throw flyer’s onto the ground in a school and reported him to the authorities. Within days, the Gestapo had infiltrated and arrested the rest of the group, their fate already decided. Only Wittgenstein managed to survive.

However, the pamphlets are smuggled out of Germany into Scandinavia where they find their way to England. During the bombing raids, the English threw out copies of the pamphlets and flyers by air, as part of their effort to make the German people rebel against the Nazi regime.

The story of the White Rose Movement is a fascinating history of courage and ingenuity and a testament to the power of the flyer medium. Flyer printing services have helped people get ‘the word’ onto the street for whoever had anything to share or voice to the public and fellow citizens and continues to be an effective form of publicity.

Solopress print and design one of the leading printing company in UK has experience in flyer printing services at reasonable rates.

Do you think anybody is going to argue about the fact that Traffic (people coming to your web page) is the most important component of direct selling via the Internet?

When I first started in this business of Internet Marketing, I didn’t think of traffic. It was like when I came into this business I checked all my previous training at the door! And this from a guy who spent over 30 years creating traffic to retail stores.

Go figure. I guess I came to this form of selling with a totally open, and, in some cases, blank, mind.

But Traffic IS the most important thing. It doesn’t much matter how you get the traffic as long as it’s a form of traffic called “targeted traffic”.

And that is exactly what you get when you buy traffic from the PPC Search Engines.

You probably know this already, but it is a good idea to repeat it. And that is that selling something by means of the internet has an incredibly simple formula.

Here it is…Traffic + Conversion = Sales. That’s it. Expanded for effect it would be Targeted Traffic (people) + Conversion(people purchasing) = Sales (money).

So, first things first, get traffic to your offer. But not just any old traffic…we want it to be “targeted”. What that means is that the people coming are people who are likely to be interested in what you have to offer.

People can be “sorted” by the search terms they type in. Ingenious, isn’t it?

There are lots of ways to generate traffic but pay-per-click advertising is one of the fastest and one of the best for a couple of reasons that we’ll cover here.

Two of the most important reasons are that your visitors will be “targeted traffic” and you’ll only pay when they click and arrive at your offer!

Here’s how it works. Let’s say you have a web page with an offer on it selling free movie downloads. Automatically, one of your major keywords is “free movie downloads”.

So you go into your PPC area, and write an ad. They are little four line classified type ads and the last line of the ad is the URL you want them to go to.

Now, Google is the king of PPC and, since they are all about relevancy (the art of bringing up good search results when someone types in a keyword) Google wants relevancy for it’s sponsored ads, too. Hence the marriage of your ad and your chosen keywords.

You’d write an ad that looks like a four line classified ad with copy like this …

Free Movie Downloads/ Download Any Movie You Want Forever/ For A Small One Time Fee/ USAFreeMovieDownloads.com

You’d put the ad into an ad group with your chosen keywords at your chosen price (bid).

Let’s say you picked the keyword “free movie downloads” and agreed to pay (bid) $1 every time someone clicks on your ad and, subsequently went to your offer.

Warning: I inadvertently sent 1700 people (clicks) to a 404 error page instead of my offer due to a typo. It cost me about a thousand bucks. I don’t do that anymore.

So you turn the campaign on and start watching. The fun can begin in just a few minutes!

If you make $30 every time someone buys your offer at your web page, and you are paying one dollar per visit (click) when someone types in “free movie downloads” there is a certain ratio you are looking for.

Essentially, to be profitable, you have to pay LESS than $30 to get a sale because that’s what you MAKE on a sale. More ideally you want to pay $15 to get the $30 profit.

These little sponsored search ads are responsible for billions of dollars in highly targeted traffic and sales.

And really, doesn’t it just seem likely that someone who typed in your chosen keyword and clicked on your ad and was then transported to your offer on your web page would probably buy? Yes, it does to me, too.

You can bet on it. In fact, that’s exactly what you are doing, but they don’t call it gambling. They call it advertising. That’s business.

We are on these email lists and we get hundreds of emails everyday just like you do. I am in a program, you are in a program, whatever program you are with, great, if that is what you are promoting, fine. People will email you on their programs, so in my inbox, I open it up and open up some emails whenever I feel like it, because I get tons of emails in my inbox, and all of a sudden somebody is marketing to me that this program just came out like last month, or this week, or last week, or five or six months ago, or yesterday, whatever it might be, they are marketing this mlm program, this 1-up or 2-up program, straight cash program, gifting program, or product, or system in the industry that someone just came out with. Well, I really do not read into it too much, but I say thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me another keyword to market under for free.

I did not have to do any research, I did not do anything, just sit there and open up my emails, spend about five or ten minutes, or fifteen or twenty minutes everyday going through my emails and there are new programs to see, new people, whatever you might want that email you, just say thank you for giving me your name or thank you for giving me your program that you just started promoting, because now I have got a new keyword or keywords to market under. And pretty soon you have an effortless keyword list growing weekly, you can check it like every few days or daily, of the keywords that are targeted to this industry. Now, I am just talking about getting keywords for this industry. Same thing, you can market under products or systems, or marketing systems or ebooks in network marketing or 1-ups or cash programs or anything in this industry. Those become keywords.

You can also do misspellings of those keywords, you can figure out any misspellings or have some kind of software or some way of getting misspellings, and those are more keywords that you can use. Those are keywords. You wonder well, it is not a lot. There are so many keywords, there are so many programs, there are so many people, so many marketing systems, so many products, so many services, so many books in this industry that as much marketing that we do, we can never keep up with it. And things are always popping up or coming out new. New programs always have new keywords and different things. So literally you are making up, and this is using pay per click as an example, you are literally making up campaigns weekly on a weekly basis, on a daily basis if you wish. And that is it, you are in your target market.

Now, let’s get back to the ad, back to the prospect in this industry. You have got your keywords down pat. You are making your campaign, if you are wondering how to do Google and how to set your campaign up, just look at our videos in our back office. Now you create your ad. Now the next thing that you send them to is your landing page. If you have a new opportunity or a new program, great, if not get a landing page, get a lead capture page, whether they have a marketing systems in the program or not, develop your own, hire somebody to do it, whatever it is, get one done for yourself. On these capture pages or landing pages, whatever it is, when they click through the ad it is very important that the ad basically targets the prospect, gives them enough information to want them to click through so that they can get more information, then your lead capture page and your landing page will give them more information, a little more information than what was presented in your ad.

When they come through, click through, they are looking for more information. If your ad is talking about the greatest or the only two level instant pay program there is, and here is why you should join, and they click through, they are looking to know more about the only two level instant pay program and why they should join. That is what you should be hitting them with in your headline. That should be the first thing that you are answering, your headline, your headline should be the first paragraph of your lead capture page or your landing page, right there in their face. On your landing page it is important to get the attention of your prospect. We like to use brighter colors, like a red headline to grab their attention on a white background. As far as a background to your landing page or lead capture page, the background, blue is great, lighter colors, you can do your own testing on that.

But you have got to hit them up right there. You should also use some kind of, because we are all human, you have to use some kind of direct communication that is human orientated besides words in order to get their attention or to keep their attention. We are human, we want to interact, we want to hear somebody’s voice. I suggest that you use audio of some sort, whether you are using an audio player or you record your own audio and put your own button up there or use some third party service, it does not matter. Or you can use video, if you can make a video of yourself and put it up there, great, there are a lot of third party services out there that will let you do video, or you can hire somebody else to do it for you. If not a video of yourself, do a video of somebody else. Anything of the sort like that is direct communication that has a human voice, that is great.

There are many ways to launch your career in marketing. Affiliate sales, list building, free give away events, public relations firms and the list goes on and on.

It seems that just about everybody is looking for that “magic bullet” that will launch their business into the stratosphere. Is there such a thing?

Not all of the top marketers today will list this as the first or primary thing that really got them launched, but nearly all of them, if you dig deep enough, will at least give some credit to their first live event being critical to reaching a sustained level of success. Some will tell you right on their web pages, as one of the first things that you really must do. Willie Crawford, Ross Goldberg, Jeff Wellman, John Reese, and the list goes on.

These people are quick to tell you that even though they experienced spurts of success on their own, it was really their attendance at a LIVE EVENT that both inspired them, and gave them vision for where they were going, as well as making Joint Venture deals that enriched them and their following. They will tell you that attendance at a live event played a critical part in their success. They will also tell you that you won’t know that for sure, until you actually attend one.

As Willie Crawford put it, in an article he wrote recently … ”sometimes we just don’t know what we don’t know… and that we are perfectly happy not knowing what we are missing out on … until we know.” And then he followed, in the same article, with … “One of the things that I didn’t know back then was the power of networking, doing joint ventures with others, and attending live events where you actually get a feel for who you really want to form business relationships with.”

Live events! If you do it correctly, live events are by far the weapon of choice for many struggling marketers.

Just one connection at these events can put your business far past what you could ever acheive on your own with years of work. Those speaking at the events already have the list, the connections and the clout to put you on the map fast!

Yet, how do you select the event you that will provide that Jolt to your business? Selection of the proper event is key, and I am going to give you guidance on not only how to select the right event, but also how to prepare for that event to ensure you will get the absolute most out of it.

Selection of the live event that you want to attend is pretty common sense. Choose one that you can afford to go to, that is held by someone trustworthy. Someone that you believe is holding the event, not just to give a pitch-fest and make a bunch of money, but with the intent that the people at the event will really gain some huge benefit. Also, pick one that will have some scheduled fun, so you look forward to it. Getting to network with people in a less-structured setting lets you really get a feel for people.

Choosing an event location where there is lots to do before and after the event is not a bad idea, either, and perhaps hang around for a day or so after the event and just enjoy the surroundings.

There is no better networker out there than Willie Crawford himself. He is known in Internet Marketing Circles as the most trusted name on the internet. Just watch this man in action at a live event. He will get around to every person in the room, meet them, find out what they do, and he will remember them. Often, people that attended the event will get a follow-up from Willie, in the form of a greeting card, that tells them he enjoyed meeting them, and looks forward to seeing them again. The amount of details that he remembers for each individual he meets is uncanny.

The next biggest question in the mind of the up-and-coming marketer could well be, “How do I get the most out of a live event?”

To truly take advantage of a live event show up prepared. In other words, have a deal already set up for you or your product that makes it a real no-brainer to bring some of the big guns onboard with you. Make it easy to say yes and make it as “pushbutton” friendly as you can to distribute your product.

Sit down and figure it out beforehand. If you can show up with that taken care of, you’re light years ahead of all the others clamoring for attention. I’ve launched many of my top-selling products using this exact strategy.

So in a word, yes! Live Events are well worth the price if you’re ready.
