    Direct Mail – Not What it Used to Be
    The number of businesses using direct mail marketing now compared to how many used this medium 10 to 15 years ago is staggeringly higher. More and more marketers understand its effectiveness and are on the bandwagon - especially Mortgage Brokers.Years back the novelty of receiving an advertisement in your mailbox was such that any direct mail pieces were not only looked at but mulled over. Not so anymore. The term ‘junk mail’ was coined sometime since then and I’m sure you’ve thrown out your fair share of unread pieces enough to understand why. So, what can you do about it as a marketer? How can you ensure you get the biggest bang for your direct mail dollar? Now more than ever, you have to understand how to put together a direct mail piece. More than ever you have to really target your mailing to go to a specific market. And more than ever you need to be patient and learn how to campaign – because that is the key to success. Don’t get me wrong… dir

More commonly, it may not even reach the recipient at all. Many ISPs filter suspicious looking emails and delete them without delivery.

      Six Sigma Theory of
      Six Sigma is a management methodology for accuracy in manufacturing, etc. to make sure things are done right the first time and with that comes increases of economies of scale-fewer returns, etc. Such processes are especially important in Military, Health Care, manufacturing, transportation and computer industries.When every thing is right with fewer returns, less time is spent fixing your mistakes, thus higher profits. Some of this could be classified as Micro-management of little details which goes against the theories of Fly by the seat of your pants, entrepreneurs, yet when working on lower margins in low cost high volume matured industry sectors, if you cannot do it the Six Sigma way, you will be passed and put out of business by someone who is.So I would say to those in any industry that the devil is in the details and Six Sigma is worth a read. You should start with Jack Welch's Biography and then go pick up a Six Sigma management book,
      In life, it is the moral responsibility for the elder to teach the younger, or for the experienced to teach the inexperienced. In internet life, the same moral responsibility applies in regards to correct use of email.

      One large difference is that, in internet life, it is very often the younger who are the experienced. The current waves of growth in internet usage, the new users, are largely from the older generations.

      Accordingly, it becomes the responsibility of the experienced users to educate and train newer users in the correct usage of email. One simple way of imparting this education to lesser experienced internet users is to politely refer them to this article, either on the page you are currently reading or at http://BestPrac.Org/articles/netiquette.htm

      The internet life carries it's own versions of courtesy, privacy and security issues that all users need to know. Hence a new word has entered the vocabulary - Netiquette. (Internet etiquette.)

      For example:

      • In internet and email culture, ALL CAPITALS IS AKIN TO SHOUTING and is universally seen as rude and impolite.
      • New email users often forget to include a brief "Subject" line on their emails, or do not understand the importance of it. Ordinary postal service "snail-mail" does not ordinarily require a heading about the contents of the letter on the outside of the envelope - though most posted periodicals and many commercial accounts nowadays do identify the contents or level of importance on the outside of the envelope. Email, however, operates very differently from snail-mail. Never omit a subject line, and keep your subject line brief and relevant. Without a subject line, your email will probably be seen as yet another junk email and be deleted unread by the intended recipient. More commonly, it may not even reach the recipient at all.

        Ever wonder what makes a millionaire different from your average Joe? Why is it some are "meant" for riches while others are "meant" for poverty? Well, it is simply a choice.When you realize that to have success is to simply choose success is when you will see results in your life. Now you're probably wondering how does somebody choose success? If you were to go back and study all of the successful entrepreneurs, for example Ford, Edison, Gates, they all had one thing in common: The Mindset For Success.It's not just luck or by chance that people are successful nor does someone happen to just make a million dollars. The elite realize that there are exercises, daily practices, and knowledge that can get anyone to the top and this knowledge is accessible to anyone who truly desires wealth in their life.Now, how does someone jump over the gap from being an employee to becoming a successful entrepreneur and living a lifestyle of absolute f

          Income Contingency Plan - How To Plan For Success
          Who needs a contingency plan?There are a few people out there who actually know what a contingency plan is and why it is wise to have one for every situation. The military is very good at contingency planning. Troops must eat and receive supplies in many different situations. If plan A does not work plan B and C and D is already in place to insure that the mission is accomplished. (ie., feeding the troops ) Police and Fire departments also utilize contingency planning to insure the safety of the public at large in any given circumstance. Computer software engineers are also good at planning what to have a program do if such and such happen. Problems can be headed off at the pass with some thought being given to contingency planning.Why do I need a contingency plan?The short answer is: because it is wise. Muddling on by doesn't require planning. But where would you be if you lost your job? Or, if your spouse l

So just, monitor them closely.You might argue that you already do it, but have you paid enough attention towards the implementation stages at the micro level. Are they functioning best to the capacity? Are there any wastes created as a part of the overall functioning? If the answer is affirmative and you think you can ignore it than think again.Wastes might seem a byproduct with minimal impact, but you would be amazed tom know

            Principles in Marketing to Women
            What women want? Old question, many think it is too hard to give an answer. Well, it isn’t. In this article we will write about principles in marketing to women.Marketing is all about fulfilling needs. That’s why marketers have to know the answer on what women want. The most important thing that every woman wants is security. They want to have a man they can lean on; to be secure in their love relationship; to be secure that they will make the right decision in buying a certain product. You have to persuade them in your offer, whether it is a traditional or online business. This doesn’t mean that you will hire some person who will be over-enthusiastic in describing new products like in teleshop ads. It is a fast selling processing, and women like thorough selling processes. They like marketing and persuading in a subtle way. They want to hear everything about your product. So, tell them all and educate them. Don’t sell them a product, sell them a dream,

          • Never send emails to people you do not know without their express permission. Only send email to people who you know, or who have clearly indicated that they want to receive correspondence from you. Violation of this act of Netiquette can land you in all sorts of trouble. You will be labelled as a spammer. In some states or countries, you risk being charged with criminal or cival violations of the law for sending unsolicited email. Even in countries or states where there is no specific law prohibiting unsolicited email, it is regarded as bad manners and offensive. If you check with your ISP, you will almost always find that they reserve the right to terminate your internet connection if they receive complaints about you for sending unsolicited email.
          • Even when sending email to people that you do know, only send them what they are likely to want. Not everyone you know wants jokes or other "chain email" forwarded to them. Not everyone shares your sense of humour or has the time while connected at work to be reading frivolous emails. If you like forwarding jokes or other "chain emails" to your friends, check with them first to be sure they are happy to receive them.
          • Think before you type. Type, then think again. Unlike face-to-face or voice-to-voice communications, the easily and quickly typed email can all too easily be a source for expressing your feelings in the bluntest of ways. Similarly, the hastily written word may lack feelings and not express the emotions that can be sensed with eye contact or voice modulation in other forms of communications. It is too easy to forget that there is a human at the other end - not just a computer. You can very easily damage your own reputation and destroy friendships with thoughtless em
