Who decides what constitutes great advertising strategy? Is it the brand that pays for it, the agency that creates it, the panel that judges it, or the market that buys into it?Of course, the answer is the market, but you’d be surprised how few in the advertising industry actually create advertising for the buying public.It is paramount to understand that buyers render the most decisive judgment about what constitutes great advertising especially if the goal is to steal share. How can we steal share unless we have focused our advertising on the audience? Their dollars are the share we are trying to steal.However, it is our experience at Stealing Share™ that most advertising is aimed at everyone but the buyer. Ads are created to catch the eyes of potential awards show judges, for example, or to impress the internal audience of the brand’s employees, or to boost the agency’s self-esteem. When brands perform internally, they go nowhere. Agencies need to focus on the buying public when creating advertising.

You cannot have a project-specific vision when beginning a Six Sigma initiative. It is essential that you develop a perspective with a comprehensive and an all-encompassing viewpoint that reaches out of the scope of the project on hand.Begin the Project Selection with the Right InitiativeSelect the project for Six Sigma implementation after weighing priorities. This does not mean that you should dive at the most pressing problem first without looking at constraints. Here is a brief guideline for project selection as initiation of Six Sigma.1. Not all projects incur or help save same amounts of money. This infers that apart from monetary considerations, you should look at weighted aspects such as simplifying draconian procedures, improvement of employee satisfaction and the potential to produce an outstanding and exemplary result that instigates further improvement projects.2.

If you are in a concrete cleaning business using a pressure washer or steam cleaner perhaps you have considered how you can get new clientele through advertising. It is a difficult business to advertise because you deal with business customers and direct mail generally does not work too well.However if you can get a list of the facilities maintenance people for all the properties in your community you may find yourself with a list of perfect people to mail to. Where can you get such a list? Well, you can get such a list from the county tax assessor of all the business properties. You might also get a list from a local industry guide. It is not easy to get a hold of all the facilities maintenance people and the property management companies to create a mailing list. But once you have that list it is as good as gold for your concrete cleaning business.There are some ways to advertise a concrete cleaning business and one way that I recommend is to put a flyer insert in the Chamber of Commerce monthly newsletter. It should be a hal

Are your considering a move into self-employment? Do you wish to add a small business of your own into your American Dream? Have you been looking around at various business opportunities and businesses that you might see yourself doing? Have you been slowing refining your options down and have now got the list down to a dozen or so possible businesses that you would enjoy doing?You would be surprised how many people this time of year begin to think about their future in this way. You have probably also heard of the risks of owning your own business as it is not as easy as it looks. Often you will work longer hours with no guarantees of a paycheck. In fact you the failure rate in this nation for small businesses is quite high and the deck is tacked against you. The laws whereas they pretend to be pro-small business are actually there as barriers to entry.Additionally once you quit your job you maybe interested to know that you that you may not have benefits, health care insurance or that very steady and helpful paycheck. I would l
Let’s start with wit. Wit can be defined as “keenness and quickness of perception”. But let’s take it a step farther. How about the “ability to perceive and express in an ingeniously humorous manner the relationship between seemingly incongruous or disparate things”1. Confused yet? Simply put, perception is the easy part. Sensing the customer’s reaction to a new flavor of ice cream, as you watch them take their first taste, tells you whether it’s a flavor you want to take to market. Of course perception can be incorrect, and hence we need the keen and quick part of the definition.
Take it farther again, and add the “humorous expression” to the relationship between the inconsistent, the disharmonious, and the incompatible. Now the witty business owner sets himself apart from the crowd, and sets the trend rather than follow it. Look at the success story of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream. Two guys start making ice cream in a gas station. They make it fresh and good, but they added a twist, they marketed their ice cream using outrageous names for seemingly incompatib
