			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Effective communication with your client or customer is essential to the success of your business. In order for your business to thrive, you need to develop client base and to hearten repeat business whenever appropriate and possible.</p>
<p>You business do have a variety of communication tools available in this regard. With that noted, at the heart of these resources and tools will be your business logo. On so many different levels your logo is the front door through which new and existing clients or customers will walk to carry out business with you.</p>
<p>Your Logo and Your Business Communication Essentials</p>
<p>Your logo plays a key role in regard to all of the communication fundamentals connected with your business.  For example, business cards and letterhead are vital to the operation and promotion of any business.  You need to keep in mind that even when engaging in the most important forms of business related communication it is imperative that you make a solid presentation.</p>
<p>Your logo also needs to play a role in emails that are sent out on behalf of your business.  Certainly, if you are like most businesses today a majority of your communication is undertaken via email at this point in time.</p>
<p>Soon in this article you will be presented with more information regarding to how your logo is a resource and tool that interconnects ideally with your online promotional and marketing efforts.</p>
<p>Essential for Your Marketing Campaigns</p>
<p>A responsible and proactive business owner develops, implements and follows a complete and coordinated marketing plan.  Once again, your business’s logo is a powerful resource and tool associated (underpinning, really) your overall marketing efforts.</p>
<p>As you go about developing and implementing your marketing plan you need to pay particular attention to how you can best incorporate your professional logo into these endeavors.  You will want to do this in such a manner so that your logo furthers your brand identity through all of your marketing programs.</p>
<p>Essential for your Internet Presence</p>
<p>As noted previously, your logo also is a vital tool when it comes to the presence of your business on the Internet.  The Internet is becoming an ever more competitive arena.  Therefore, it is vital that you do everything humanly possible to create and then maintain a truly competitive edge.</p>
<p>Your logo really does represent the most elementary (and utterly powerful) tool available to you through which you can enhance the presence of your enterprise on the Net and to further brand identity with individuals who seek products or services on the Internet marketplace.</p>
<p>Your Logo and the Media</p>
<p>In this day and age you undoubtedly are paying very close attention to the bottom line of your business.  Maintaining a responsible and yet effective marketing budget is of paramount importance during these particularly challenging economic times.</p>
<p>Experts in the field of media relations are universally encouraging their clients to take full advantage of “free press opportunities.”  By this it is meant that both online and in the brick and mortar world a business has the ability to utilize practices such as the regular issuance of press releases and so forth to promote their business ventures.</p>
<p>It is absolutely necessary for you to understand completely that this important – and extremely cost effective tactic – can only work if you make a professional presentation.  For example, if you issue a press release to the media about some aspect of your business enterprise, that release needs not only needs to be professionally written it needs to be thoroughly professional in its appearance.</p>
<p>Therefore, your company’s logo is essential to the initiation and pursuit of an effective media relations campaign.  Your logo will convey to the media at large the professionalism and reputability of your business enterprise.</p>
<p>Final Lines</p>
<p>While you must have an assortment of meaningful, powerful communication tools in the arsenal of your business enterprise, the one resource that you cannot do without is an appropriate, custom logo.  Understanding the many ways in which your logo can be of use in developing a successful business, you need to consider seriously engaging the services of a reputable, experienced and creative logo design firm to provide your business what it must have in this regard.  Anything less will leave you with less – less visibility, fewer clients or customers … and lower profits.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More than one-third of entrepreneurs in the United States are women, and the growth in the number of woman-owned firms is more than double the rate of all U.S. firms. Stay-at-home moms are multi-tasking more than ever. In between childcare, cooking and cleaning, they are cranking out inventions that are making them millions. In America, women start 424 new enterprises every day that’s more than twice as many as men. These mothers of invention have nurtured their creative ideas outside the corporate box. Knowing how to stretch a dollar, these resourceful women started simple, by keeping costs down and production up!</p>
<p>Today, women entrepreneurs employ more people than the Fortune 500 combined. Throughout history there are many successful woman entrepreneur models such as Madame C. J. Walker (born Sarah Breedlove) listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the First Female African-American to become a Millionaire by her own achievements. Orphaned at the age of seven, Walker built a thriving beauty products business in the early 20th century, employing over 3,000 people. She was noted for working hard, honest business dealings and quality products led her to success.</p>
<p>According to a recent U.S. national poll, try to guess who was the most admired entrepreneur? Was it Bill Gates? Donald Trump? Nope — Oprah Winfrey stood out head and shoulders above the rest. The story of Oprah’s life success is truly inspiring as she overcame many challenges. Today, Oprah is admired as the most influential woman in the world.</p>
<p>Today, over 11-million creative woman entrepreneurs are using their ingenuity to fill niches on their own terms. The reasons women start their own company varies but research shows 46% want more control over their schedules, 23% were frustrated with the corporate environment, while 24% saw a niche and filled it. These successful woman entrepreneurs all share a common characteristic: they think outside the box.</p>
<p>Here’s some popular networking techniques used by woman entrepreneurs:</p>
<p>Keep It Small: Networking at the executive level is rarely done via big parties or industry mixers, regardless of gender. Woman entrepreneurs mainly connect through one-on-one meetings or small, exclusive dinners and get-togethers giving everybody a chance to relax. It fosters a great climate for brainstorming and meeting new executives.</p>
<p>Keep It Selective: One of the key elements to networking isn’t just how but who. It’s most advantageous to connect with like-minded individuals and coordinate dinners or drinks with an eye on synergy between attendees. It can also help guests feel more comfortable in sharing insight or contacts.</p>
<p>Keep It Consistent: They regularly make an effort to connect with fellow women in business to put heads together and conjure new ideas. It’s done via a variety of ways, from email, to cell texting to instant messaging to in-person meetings, but most importantly, it’s constant.</p>
<p>Keep It Focused: While gatherings are often in a social or relaxed environment, make no mistake – it’s all about business. Networking can be fun, but keep it productive as well.</p>
<p>The success of women entrepreneurs is a dynamic trend. Perhaps a hybrid of Baby Boomer work ethic, 70s freedom, and the great women in business boom of the 80s and 90s, they’re an inspiration of drive, ambition and an anything-is-possible mindset. What’s interesting is that it goes beyond the business world into every corner of their lives. They have rich social lives and good friends, husbands, great families, and live comfortably. They love style, looking good, support social change, and most of all, are happy</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social media networks are shaping a new era in the online community. The number of visitors and subscribers are increasing tremendously as we speak. A perfect example of the success of the social networks was Facebook’s increase in the number of visits by 50% during the last year.</p>
<p>The reason behind the success of these websites is due to the human touch they add to the digital world . Everybody is looking for old buddies from school , a friend they haven’t seen for a while or even get to know new people in their same profession or share the same passion .</p>
<p>Many charities and fundraisers have realized the unbeatable effect of social media as compared to any other online or offline marketing tool. Many have started to build their own websites and started to build social presence in the major social sites , build groups , post articles and become active members in these sites.</p>
<p>“Too poor to donate? Digg to help sick kids! Let’s raise Awareness!” Awareness caught my attention while I was using digg.com a social media site . This charity project used digg to promote their Christmas campaign for gift donations for sick children. They were asking for the visitor help to digg their post to reach as many people as they can and a generous contribution will be appreciated .</p>
<p>On Facebook you can easily find hundreds of charities building their groups to raise awareness of the visitors and invite them to contribute. These groups are at finger tips away from you , All what you need to do is search the groups for charity or fundraising and then the decision is up to you.</p>
<p>Social websites were also built with the sole intention of funding charities and raising the awareness of online visitors of the importance of the social contribution to the success of any charity project. Squidoo is a social network that came to existence with thoughtful understanding of the commitment of any business to their community while maintaining the limit of profits to maintain their on going activities. They provide a mutual interest for the visitors and the charity projects. Squidoo enables anyone to build a page on a subject that they have passion about ,write as many pages as they like, then Squidoo uses advertising on these pages. The revenue is these advertisements is shared between the page creator and a charity project. They also offer the choice of donating all your income to the charity you choose from a list of charities that they sponsor.</p>
<p>Donations are the back bone of any charity and fundraising which originate from the social contribution to the mission and the work of the volunteers dedicating their time and effort to its success. No doubt that social media networks made it easier for them to reach people at the ease of their homes. They can easily add a smile on a sleepy face feeling that they did their dues to the society.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being an entrepreneur is challenging.</p>
<p>That’s an understatement. Ask anyone who successfully runs their own operation and they will probably tell you that it’s the most demanding, and the most rewarding undertaking of their life.</p>
<p>While many entrepreneurs recognize characteristics such as knowledge, passion, and perseverance as being prerequisites for success, many don’t take the time do define what success is, and how they will measure it. This results in unrealistic expectations, or worse, measuring their success against the successes of others.</p>
<p>Every year it’s estimated that over 60% of new businesses fail. With a staggering and eye-opening statistic such as this, one should seriously ponder the question, to be, or not to be an entrepreneur, when considering entrepreneurship as an employment option.</p>
<p>Often overlooked at the outset of entrepreneurial endeavors are the requirements for success, which can be viewed as “phases” of development.</p>
<p>While they may vary in accordance to endeavor or industry, the first, and perhaps most critical phase, is market research – which has one purpose: to help you thoroughly understand the market that you are attempting to achieve profits in.</p>
<p>Too often, would-be entrepreneurs make an emotional decision to take a product or service to the marketplace without evaluating its viability. It’s always a mistake. Once met with the daunting task of marketing and differentiation, they buckle under pressure, and eventually fold.</p>
<p>In order to find your place, and your success in any marketplace, you need to not only understand the history, conditions, trends, and status of your market, but your competitors. In doing so, you find your target audience (those who will most likely value and purchase your services or products), and your niche (a particular product or service that you’re distinctly able to provide).</p>
<p>It’s not uncommon for novice business owners and upstart entrepreneurs to be delusional about the novelty of their products or services. This type of delusion breeds false confidence which can hinder your progress, and is detrimental to the life your new business.</p>
<p>You may not know of competing entrepreneurs and businesses offering similar services and products, but your target audience does. So does the bank from which you may attempt to secure a loan. It’s almost a guarantee that you will not be given a loan if you say that you have “no competition.”</p>
<p>Even though market research, and the information uncovered while conducting it may be vital, so is the need for start-up capital. Businesses need money to go like cars need gas. Undercapitalization is cited as one of the top reasons for business failure by the United States Small Business Administration (SBA).</p>
<p>Once you’ve cleared the research and start-up capital hurdles, the management hurdle looms just as large. Properly managing the day-to-day operations of your business is just as consuming, and should be done by someone who has skill and experience in doing so.</p>
<p>Your market research enabled you to discover that there was a market for your products and services, your marketing plan will help you to get people to discover your products and services, and purchase them.</p>
<p>Many people (and business owners) allocate the lion’s share of their operational budget to marketing efforts. It makes sense: you get back what you put out, right? Not necessarily.</p>
<p>Marketing always comes down to perceived value and desired benefits.</p>
<p>The real value of what you have to offer – product or service – should not be incongruent between how good it really is, and how good you made it seem with your marketing efforts. If so, your success will be short-lived. Eventually, such practices will come back to haunt you because word of mouth is very powerful, and is still one of the most effective marketing strategies.</p>
<p>If you successfully clear the research, management, and marketing hurdles, you need to be very mindful of business laws and taxes. I always recommend consulting with to a established business and tax attorneys about this aspect of your business. It’s worth it and it pays for itself in the long run.</p>
<p>Finally, there are the other miscellaneous items that while small, loom very large in the grand scheme of your success and happiness as an entrepreneur. No sick, vacation, or holiday pay; no 401K; unstable monthly income; longer work hours (maybe 12 hours per day). And this is before considering common issues with vendors, clients, and employees. Let alone factoring in the impact on your personal relationships due to time constraints caused by the growing attention demands of your new business.</p>
<p>In the end, it really does come down to passion.</p>
<p>If you are passionate about whatever product or service you have to offer, and passionate about your belief that it solves problems, fulfills needs, or caters to desires, you can overcome many hurdles with limited resources.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re like me, you will love to eat out. Coming home from work and having to cook my own tea can be a real drag – so eating out is always really tempting.</p>
<p>But the problem is, I like eating out at least twice a week – and that can really add up. Just last month I spent so much on eating out, that I didn’t actually have enough money left to buy food in from the local store.</p>
<p>So, I did a bit of research and found a few ways I could eat out for less, and I’m going to share them here.</p>
<p>Look for special ‘weeknight’ offers</p>
<p>Some of your local restaurants may offer special ‘weeknight’ promotions – for example 2-4-1, or two meals for a set price.</p>
<p>These can sometimes be hard to find, but it is worth searching for them. Remember, restaurants want your business, so there will always be an offer on somewhere.</p>
<p>When you find a restaurant that has an offer on a particular weeknight, you may decide to go there each week – providing the food/service is satisfactory.</p>
<p>Save coupons/discount vouchers</p>
<p>One of the best ways to save money on your meal is to use coupons or discount vouchers. Some restaurants will hand these out to you once you have eaten your meal, meaning you get to use them next time. However, other restaurants may either publish their coupons online, or put them in the local newspapers – so keep your eyes peeled.</p>
<p>You might find that some places actually put discount vouchers on the back of receipts.</p>
<p>Eat at a cheaper restaurant</p>
<p>This is an obvious way to eat out for less, but it works. If you find that you are spending too much on your restaurant bills, then look for a cheaper restaurant – there will always be one (providing you haven’t already found the very cheapest!).</p>
<p>Some cheaper restaurants are actually better than the more expensive ones. This may be because expensive ones are known to set their standards very high (hence the high prices), but some of them cannot reach the standards needed to justify paying a high price for a meal – whereas cheaper restaurants may try harder to compete with the more expensive ones by offering more choice on their menu, or giving you larger portions, or better service, for example.</p>
<p>Split the cost of the bill</p>
<p>Finally, when you receive your bill, why not split it with the person you’re eating with? This is only really possible if you are eating out with a friend/partner – rather than eating out with your kids.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social media implies that you facilitate a two-way discussion, rather than a one-way bombardment of marketing messages. In short, this means that you stay engaged and in a discussion with visitors.</p>
<p>Social Media sites come and go like the wind. It seems like every 5 seconds some entrepreneur is just around the corner with another Digg or del.icio.us knockoff.</p>
<p>Hoping that whatever maneuver they can bring to the table will make them this week’s hot topic or at least clever enough to catch the eye of whomever might have some money and want to absorb some wicked bit of code or an entire social media community.</p>
<p>Social media (or new media) involves a LOT of things, a lot of tech, and could need a lot of resources (not necessarily money). When you say you do social media, and you want to launch a network of some sort, does that mean the entire process is done in-house?</p>
<p>Social media marketing can bring traffic and links to any website. Too often, marketers overlook the value of social media and tend to stick with traditional methods, while the younger generation of webpreneurs has employed social sites as an every-day strategy.</p>
<p>Social media is gowing at a such a rate that domains, websites and blogsites will increase in value due to the increased demand for webspace. The social aspect is driving the net into new territory and expands exponentially because of its viral nature.</p>
<p>Social media – as understood in a Web 2.0 context and has enabled us to play more effectively than was practical previously, on a global field.</p>
<p>Social Media has released us, freed us: and we won’t go back. Social media has been a great resource for both ideas and traffic for my blog. If you work and get noticed in social media and it gets passed around that’s a great way to promote your work.</p>
<p>Social media seek’s (in theory and in word, at least) a different kind of influence: peer review and approval. The medium and the form of discourse that it supports are wide open.</p>
<p>Social Media is a Branding Exercise – while social media sites can send you a lot of traffic very very quickly they can also be excellent places to do branding. Every time a reader or potential reader comes across you on a social media site the more you reinforce your brand.</p>
<p>Social media marketing is actually becoming necessary but it has to be done right. It is about the weight of numbers and it will bring some honesty, ethics and accountability back to doing business.</p>
<p>Social Media is conversational media in all its interactive forms including text, video and spoken words – whether face to face, over the Internet, over the airwaves or via mobile technologies such as iPods and cell phones.</p>
<p>A Social Media Club is intended to be a place where amateurs and professionals can come together to learn from one another, to understand each other and to work together on the things that make meaning in their lives – their personal passions, their professional endeavours and their noble pursuits.</p>
<p>Social Media, doesn’t even really exist as a subset of media. Everything is social now, we just expect it. Social media companies will race to provide metrics that show impressive results, but that’s not necessarily a good thing, especially given the ways measurement may shape investment and in turn shape the evolution of social mediums.</p>
<p>Social media campaign’s go far beyond the traditional agency model of media planning and buying. So do advertisers they actually get into the game and get their campaign’s out there.</p>
<p>Social media is changing the way online businesses advertise because control of the message is shifting to the consumer.</p>
<p>Social Media Optimization (SMO) is a new term that was recently coined by Rohit Bhargava and has since been taking on life of its own. SMO tactics can drive huge amounts of people to a website and can also determine whether a startup, website or idea will make it or not.</p>
<p>Social media will be the optimal place to market especially with a recession. Social networks are a rich source of HIGHLY niche audiences and therefore are highly target-able.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blogging is a fairly new social media platform that is fast becoming a popular form of marketing for many businesses.  As a professional blogger myself, I believe that every business should participate in blogging.  Just like every business should be following what people are saying about them via social networks and social media, every business should be blogging as well.</p>
<p>Many business owners believe that having a company blog or participating in social networking is a waste of time and provides no return on investment.  Tell that to Dell, the computer company that attributed $3 million in sales due to Twitter.</p>
<p>So, why should your company have a blog?  Here are a couple reasons:</p>
<p>You have more of a chance of being discovered in a search engine like Google.  Unlike regular websites, blogs are on the search engines’ radars because blogs are updated more often.  Search engines love fresh, relevant content.</p>
<p>Blogs enable your company to interact with your customers, plus you can build a community of loyal customers who appreciate your services and what you have to say.  By providing value via tips, news or articles on topics related to your business, you establish a relationship with your customers.  They will remember you the next time they need your product or service.</p>
<p>A good example of a business that provides value via their blog is this San Diego Cosmetic Dentist…</p>
<p>Dr. Timothy Collins and Dr. David Landau are dentists who own a practice called Complete Dental Health located in San Diego, California.  Besides owning a regular static website that contains a host of information about their business, they also own a blog that offers dental health tips and advice, plus news about the dentistry field.</p>
<p>Let’s say that someone in San Diego was searching for a dentist, but this web-savvy person wanted to find a dentist with a blog.  He/she does a Google blogsearch for “San Diego dentist”.  Guess what blog shows up in the top results?  That’s right – the Complete Dental Health’s blog shows up near the top of the list.   So the potential customer reads the Complete Dental Health blog and likes the information.  This potential customer then decides to call Complete Dental Health to set up an appointment.</p>
<p>Although this is a very simplistic example of what happens when you blog for business, maybe it will banish any of those thoughts that blogging is just a “trend” and isn’t worth exploring as a way to attract new customers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you perform a Google search on any big company’s name with the word Facebook at the end, chances are the top result will be the company’s own official Facebook page. The same goes for Twitter and YouTube. CocaCola and Pepsi, Apple and Microsoft, Target and Walmart—they all have a presence on some social media platform.</p>
<p>Last week we reported on the recent statistics highlighting the social media revolution. The Internet was buzzing about the future of social media, media marketing, and how businesses can use social media to their advantage. This week, the results from a survey were released, detailing even further just how much social media has affected business and brand marketing. Within the next year, an astonishing 82 percent of brand marketers will be using social media to promote their brand, said Equation Research’s 2009 Marketing Industry Trends Report.</p>
<p>Now more than ever, it is essential to have a handle on social media. Not every platform needs to be explored, however. It’s about efficiently using your time while creating the most impact. Currently, many brands struggle with engaging users once the space is established. While the Equation report listed some great stats about social media, it also said that 37 percent of brands don’t know enough about social media to know where to begin.</p>
<p>Social media connects businesses to customers and clients in a unique way, engages them in meaningful conversation, and opens doors to options that couldn’t have been explored just a few years ago. One of the biggest doors social media has opened is the ability for businesses to promote social causes and missions, and the emerging trend of social entrepreneurship. Uniting users through a cause built around your brand is incredibly valuable–as it engages them on a high, meaningful level. Through this, the communication can make an impact and also send a message to customers that the company is interested in more than just making a profit.</p>
<p>Here are just a few examples of how social media is leading the way for social good:</p>
<p>Target: For years, the company allocated a certain percent of their profits to charities chosen by the company. This past year, Target announced that they were handing the power of giving to the people. For two weeks, Target opened a poll on its Facebook fan page allowing users to vote for the charity of their choice. At the end of the voting period, the company split up…</p>
