Marketing with Newsletters



We all know how difficult it is to find new clients. When we have them as clients we have to do everything we can to keep them and provide them with great customer service.
What we need to do is develop a 10 touch plan so that we can be in contact with them at least ten times a year. Often we think that we have sold them our product or service and they won't need us again. There is always going to be staff turnover, executives leaving the organisation and joining other companies and as long as we stay in touch, more business will follow. I recently returned from speaking in Sydney and this was as a result of a CEO selling his company in the UK and taking a senior position in Australia. By staying in touch he hired me to speak at the company in Australia.
So we either have to be with them face to face, on the telephone, by email, or the easiest way to keep in contact is by newsletter. I like to produce the electronic newsletter as the costs are minimal and I can see all the statistics of how many people open the newsletter, unsubscribe or link through to the website. (I've always been driven by ratios; I feel they are so important in selling)
Publishing a newsletter is a cost effective way to build your loyal customer base. You keep your clients updated about your business, latest offerings, as well as new products and services. It keeps you and your business visible
Good information gets distributed. So, a newsletter is a means of viral marketing, your clients will pass it on to their clients and before you know it the telephone will be ringing from new clients that you never even knew existed. When I sent out my first newsletter, I received a call the next day from someone who had been forwarded my newsletter and this resulted in a number of talks and training days with that company..


Here are some tips for producing your newsletter:
* Always ensure that you have a main article that provides information that your readers will find valuable. Your articles form the body of your newsletter. They should be informative and arouse the interests of your readers. Articles should be well written, and checked for spelling and grammatical errors. Your readers will be appreciative of the fact that you have given much thought and preparation to your articles. I always try to add value with good practical information.


* Keep abreast with the current developments of your field. Your readers want to know what is new and what is hot.


* Within your Ezine, throw in links to related articles that you have written or been featured in when appropriate.


* Offer testimonials from satisfied clients


* Give real life examples and show how you've helped clients


* Case studies always position you as the expert in your readers' minds more than you coming out and saying so.


* Jot down eight questions your clients have asked you in the past


* Answer each one in a short article, as there may be many other clients who have the same questions in mind.


* If you have been to any industry conference workshops or seminars where you've picked up some helpful hints, share these with your readers


* Offer a list of your top five to ten tips on a certain subject


* Recommend books or resources and offer reviews on some of these books. By the way, take a look at my new list of recommended books at http://tinyurl.com/s6j67

Ultimate Wireless Dos/linux/macmsd/pwr/95/98/w2k/wme/nt Grandtech



Ultimate Wireless Dos/linux/macmsd/pwr/95/98/w2k/wme/nt Grandtech
The Ultimate Wireless is the world's first truly wireless PC-to-TV converter recommended for professional presentations, computer gaming, and Internet browsing on TV. It provides 2.4 GHz wireless transmission of video and stereo audio (requires stereo soundcard). The Ultimate Wireless features menu controls for brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, sharpness, and flicker. Area Zoom function allows areas of the screen to be enlarged for special emphasis. And no software required for conversion! With ISM band range of 2414-2468 GHz, 4 selectable channels, as well as the range of 100 meters in open areas and 30 meters indoors, the Ultimate Wireless offers superior quality and versatility for a reasonable price.

Customer Review: Great product and provider

I had ordered one of these from another company - came in damaged and that was their last one. Eventhough I paid a bit more for this one, it came in on time, undamaged and worked great. We were able to wirelessly broadcast our Christmas services to an overflow area. Considering the price of the product, it worked very well. A slight flicker here and there but better otherwise great. Thanks!

Customer Review: VGA splitters

Imagine you have $100. If you have to give it to only one person, that person gets $100. What happens if you must distribute the money to two people?



I have not actually purchased this item so throw out the rating, but based on the reviews I see a pattern of blurry video due to VGA "Y" cables. FYI: Non-powered VGA "Y" cables are always terrible. They result in very poor video quality due to the fact that the same amount of power in the signal must be split to multiple monitors. Each monitor puts a signal load on the line. This is demonstrated by the reviewer that states, "The vga Y cable they include seems to increase the issues". 100% of the power turns into 50-50.



A powered VGA splitter such as the SIIG VV-S40012-S1 would work much better in general for this application. It's an amplifier.



I am not stating that the issues mentioned by other reviewers of the Grandtech GWB-4000 would be completely resolved by the aformentioned VGA splitter, but I am simply passing along some hopefully helpful info should you consider making this puchase.



The biggest drawback for me is the 2.4GHz operating frequncy. It would interfere with my wireless network.

Dream Lovers



Dream Lovers
A 1986 Hong Kong variation on Somewhere in Time, with Adrian Lyne-style snazzy visuals contributed by director Tony Au, and music that sounds like Tangerine Dream outtakes. Chow Yun-fat and Brigitte Lin Ching-hsia (The Bride with White Hair) are a strikingly glamorous pair of star-crossed lovers. Apparently they were an item in a past life, during the Qin dynasty over 2,000 years ago. When they meet at an exhibition of terra cotta soldiers unearthed from the Qin emperor's tomb, the past merges with the present. (The flashback scenes mark Chow's only big-screen appearance in traditional Chinese garb, although he played several period roles in his apprentice phase as a TV idol.) The storytelling is anemic, and the finale a major letdown, but you may be satisfied just gazing at the stars, and at the lush period sets and costumes. Movies don't come much prettier. --David Chute

Customer Review: Wonderful movie! Pick up original for less at...read more

Great movie but talk about price gouging - 50 bucks for a dvd! That's totally ridiculous and without any extra features! I'm going to pass on some valuable info to my fellow Hong Kong movie buffs. Do yourselves a favor and visit www.Goodwillco.com - they are a terrific Canadian distributor of original HK version dvds. "Dream Lovers" is only about $7-$8 USD. Most of their HK titles fall within this price range. "Hero" now at theatres starring Jet Li, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung is also available for this price. Their service is outstanding. You can pretty much find any title at their website with original Mandarin/Chinese audio and subtitled. Don't buy any American studio dubbed or edited versions. Boycott Disney and their subsidiaries such as Miramax/Dimension films until they show respect for Asian cinema. They are buying HK catalog titles and butchering by editing and English dubbing. Disney is also purchasing HK titles to keep in storage without release. By doing so, Disney can keep the original studios from releasing these titles and have a monopoly on the catalog. Talk about DisNazi tactics! Visit the Web Alliance for the Respectful Treatment of Asian Cinema to sign the petition to Miramax. Over 13,000 signatures have been collected.

Customer Review: not for the "Sleepless and Seattle crowd"...

...but if you like an intelligent, artful, thoughtful, and (unthinkable if this were to be re-made by Hollywood) profoundly rewarding cinematic romance, this is the film for you. So what if the attire and sets are a bit 1980ish? Unlike forgettable Hollywood knockoffs, Tony Au's background in costume and set design-- much like Zhang Yimou at his best-- reminds the viewer throughout the film just how powerful color, sound, and imagery can be. The star-crossed lovers theme, echoed over 20 centuries, gives the film a transcendence seldom found in any "romance." Aside from a rather pathetic attempt to mimic a young Leonard Bernstein on the podium, Yun-Fat Chow gives one of the most nuanced performances of his career (and demonstrates that he doesn't have to just pull a trigger and crack wise to convey screen persona). Brigitte Lin is stunning as Yuet-Heung, Chow's centuries-lost lover reincarnated. And Cher Yeung gives what I hope was an award-winning performance at *some* film festival *somewhere* as Chow's girlfriend of 8 years who suddenly finds herself supplanted by a 20 century-long "dream" of love. Her visceral emotional pain is at the core of this film, and her final sequence is perhaps one of the most devastating portrayals captured on celluloid within this genre. "Eight years or two thousand...it's still love": that line itself captures the simplicity as well as the uncompromising profundity of the film. Well worth the price of your purchase, whatever that may be.

The gamepad combines vibration feedback and superior control with reliable, lag-free cordless freedom. More than 100 hours of battery life.

Customer Review: Almost perfect

I tend to like most of my purchases, and this controller is definitely one of them.



It's ergonomic, heavy (thus stable), highly sensitive, and has a nice feeling in the hands. Battery life is acceptable, and its layout goes well with many games. Basically it has what I want from a good controller.



I'd been exclusively using this controller (I had two different ones as well), until I got an Xbox 360 one. Due to built in support in "Games for Windows" products of the xbox controller, I unfortunately stopped using the Logitech one.



Unless you're going exclusively for GFW titles, for a different price range, and this is still the best choice I know.

Customer Review: Excellent Product

This controller does exactly what it says it can do. I am very pleased with this product.

A on line marketing Artilce for Your Viewing
Illustration in Marketing Materials



Not so many years ago businesses used to grunt at using illustrations in their marketing materials. But today, the use and influence of illustrations is growing right along.


An illustration, image or picture that does not express a distinct idea is a poor illustration. It should be clearly drawn with an abundance of ideas to be conveyed in the fewest line possible. Originality cannot help flowing from the pencil of the good artist--he will naturally give an original touch to every picture he makes. All the while he is not straining for this effect, but rather following the natural bent of his artistic nature in reproducing the material and hinting a thought as to its performances.


Same way with the advertising writer. In telling his tale he need go over board in a wild desire to be original, because originality will naturally follow in the wake of clearness and conciseness, which are the first considerations he aims at. His mind, like the artist's, is trained in the direction of bringing out the best in the article being advertised. Both the artist and the writer have the creative faculty and the application of this creative faculty gives the illustrations and the ads all the originality necessary.


So say for instance you wanted to create postcards to send out to your customers to let them know of your new products. When you are able to present your products in the simplest and most sincere way possible you are creating an impression that your prospective customer can rely and trust. Post cards are a great way to advertise your products while also giving your customers a way to remembering your business afterward.


In all aspects of creating marketing materials for your business, an original and distinct material with the right illustrations can help boost your products. The first great point in advertising is to understand the art of drawing attention, then retaining it long enough to tell your story. The right images and illustrations will help you in this regard. It is like retailing. First you encourage the customer to come to your store then win him by the excellence of your values. Induce the reader to glance at your ad by your bright images and snappy catch line, then retain his attention by the brightness and good sense of your talk--keep him fastened to your ad until his head is filled with the tale you would impart.


Keep in mind that the visual impression of your ad is very important. Being able to send a catchy, brilliant and crisp visual impression to your prospects can entice them to stop and take a closer look at your ad. So, forget about what others say that illustrations are not as important as the content. Understand that when images are created with a winsome, harmonious effect, originality and thought in an easy, artistic and natural manner an ordinary reader can in a second grasp its points and uses.

Logitech NASCAR Racing Wheel with Vibration Feedback - USB ( 963339-0403 )
With the Logitech NASCAR Racing Wheel, you'll experience the thrill of racing action, more fully than ever! Mount this wheel and its textured pedals to bring the race alive. It features 10 action buttons, two wheel-mounted paddles and an 8-way D-pad. You can even adjust the steering sensitivity for added realism.

Customer Review: I am confused ...

It seems it works under Control Panel - Games but I am unable to set it up to work with the Hot-Wheels-World-Race game.

I'd be appreciate if someone can show me how, thanks.



Customer Review: It's an OK product - depends on your expectations

I got this because I have GT Legends, a car racing PC-based simulator. The pedals are blow molded plastic and feel cheap, but if you handle them roughly, at least they can take it. This set feels toy-like, but gives you the necessities you need to steer what ever driving sim you might have.



It's a good starter wheel if you are unfamiliar with this product type, and the price was right. The vibration feature is a little chincy, but as I said, it depends on your expectations. All in all not bad, but I ended up upgrading to a force-feedback wheel within a couple of months.

Landing Page Optimization: The Definitive Guide to Testing and Tuning for Conversions



Landing Page Optimization: The Definitive Guide to Testing and Tuning for Conversions
How much money are you losing because of poor landing page design? In this comprehensive, step-by-step guide, you’ll learn all the skills necessary to dramatically improve your bottom line, including identifying mission critical parts of your website and their true economic value, defining important visitor classes and key conversion tasks,   gaining insight on customer decision-making, uncovering problems with your page and deciding which elements to test, developing an action plan, and avoiding common pitfalls. Includes a companion website and a detailed review of the Google Website Optimizer tool.

Customer Review: Great for non-commercial webs as well!

Could a book that would obviously be about grabbing a web surfer's attention for commercial purposes be helpful to someone who wasn't particularly concerned about `conversions'? In this case, absolutely yes. If you can allow your mind to think outside the box just a bit, this book can really provide some helpful advice which can be easily translated to your particular goal.



Mr. Ash assumes you know what you want to do but nevertheless gently nudges you with reminders of the many things which you should be considering. Complex - but necessary - concepts are explained in context and without boring definitions so that you can smile smugly with the sure and steadfast knowledge that you've always understood things like Full Factorial Non-Parametric Testing. After a few pages, you'll be eager to make meaningful changes to your own website!

Customer Review: One of the most important web marketing and sales books you'll own

This is a very important book. It helps you understand why the landing page is so impacting on the final actions of your visitors and what a landing page is for that matter. The book provides you with excellent guidance for analyzing your current website and determining how to make it easier for the visitor to use and, more importantly, easier for the user to do what you need them to do.



I loved the section titled, "Why your site is not perfect". It provides excellent information on how to uncover hidden problems in your site that your users are experiencing even though you may not have noticed them. Let's just say that it goes way beyond dead links.



Finally, "the math of tuning" shows you how to make logical decisions for next steps and make sure you're not wasting time fixing things that aren't broken or don't matter. Overall... a great book.



Alanis Morissette: Jagged Little Acoustic ~ New CD



Alanis Morissette: Jagged Little Acoustic ~ New CD
12-track '10 Year Anniversary Commemorative Edition' CD album featuring reworked versions of the original 'Jagged Little Pill' album. This particular copy is the American first edition, which was only available from American Starbucks outlets months in advance of the subsequent worldwide release, and sports a fold-out lyric picture sleeve

Customer Review: Shows no artistic growth - Jenny One-Note

Alanis Morrissette's original "Jagged Little Pill" was one of the biggest-selling debut albums of all time, and paved the way for a generation of self-absorbed and whiney brat rockers (Avril Lavigne comes to mind). "You Oughta' Know" is still one of the greatest exclamations of rage by a scorned woman, but the acoustic version on this album doesn't have the emotional weight of the original. Actually, she should have sung it accapella, as she had done in concert (most famously at the Kennedy Center with President Bill Clinton in the audience). Listening to "Ironic" reminds me that Morrissette misunderstands the meaning of the word. Overall, though, this album is a sad indication that Morrissette has not grown artistically in 10 years, and somehow has to rehash her best-selling debut album to rescuscitate her spiraling career.

Customer Review: nice

I simply cannot get over "you oughta know". I heard the non-acustic virsion before this one,(well, duh!) and i fell in love with it.The acoutsic virsion is just as great.Other songs like

"perfect" and "mary jane" where the same way.I really suggest this album, becuse some of these new virsions are a bit more

"glossy" than the origanal.

Avoid the scams! - Make Affiliate marketing pay for you



Making money online is everybodies dream, but there are few people who actually realise this dream. Truth is, there is very little free information out there to tell you which affiliate programmes to join, what paid email site are legitimate or which persons "system" is worth paying $100 for. It is hard to know who to trust in cyberspace.



You can expect to pay between $14-$100 for an ebook that claims to give you the secrets of money making online. Think about it. If the people selling the ebook were earning so much already, why are they selling it to you? Wouldn't they keep the secret to themselves? Most of these sites show you examples of earnings, that more often than not seem to come from the sales of the money making ebook rather than affiliate credits.



Here's how to avoid the get rich quick scams and make money for affilate programmes:



1) If it sounds too good to be true it is! - It is highly unlikely that you will make $1,000,000 in a week by doing nothing.



2) Set up a website with good content that is updated regularly - this will improve your search ranking



3) Concentrate on one or two affiliate programmes - If you are promoting hundreds, then your site will look like one giant advert and will turn your visitors off.



4) Set up a newsletter - These are invaluable as it gives you a way of communicating with your visitors.



5) Work, work, work - Adding a single link to a webpage and leaving it there for a week isn't going to give you any sales. Promote your website wherever you can!



6) Choose to promote a company that is right for you. - If you are promoting a product that is tailored to your interests or that you actually believe in, it is a lot easier to sell it in a convincing way. If you can link making money online to a hobby of yours, then you will not only be more successful, but you will enjoy it too.



I hope that this will be helpful to you. Remember - DON'T give out your credit card details unless you know who you are dealing with. If you watch out for the scams and put a little effort in, then the internet will really start to work for you.

Knitter's Tote- Pumpkin



Knitter's Tote- Pumpkin
Customer Review: Wicked bag for the knitter and crocheter

This bag is excellent. It has 6 outside pockets that fit full skeins, and each pocket has a grommet opening to pull your yarn through into the interior of the bag, so working on multi colored projects is a breeze and your yarn does not become tangled. The interior is roomy and has a spot for scissors, a ruler, see-thru pockets for notions and 2 zippered pockets. There are also plenty of spaces for needles. The strap is comfortable, which makes it easier to take everywhere (which I do) and engage in public displays of knitting.



Fulcrum Multi Flex LED Lighted Magnifier



Fulcrum Multi Flex LED Lighted Magnifier
Illuminate life's tiniest details for thousands of hours with this powerful lighted magnifier.

  • 3x lighted magnification from LED battery lasts thousands of hours
  • Adjust lens and aim light in any direction using the long flexible neck
  • Clip at base allows for clamping to any surface for hands-free use
  • Patented ultra-bright floodlight technology
Any task is bigger and brighter with this versatile lighted magnifier clip – perfect for any hobby that requires focus.

Customer Review: Not as good as their credit card magnifier, but has its uses

This isn't a bad product, if you use it casually. I wouldn't use it with a book, I have it clipped to the shelf above my desk so that I can read the fine print on receipts, etc, when I'm on the phone.



The flexible arm is handy because I can angle it up and away from my face when I don't need it.



Unlike the Mighty Bright line (who copied whom, who knows?), it has no place for an AC adaptor, which would be nice to have.



But also unlike Mighty Bright products, it's less expensive and I had to return 3 Might Brights because they either failed after 2-3 uses or the flex arm wouldn't stay put.



Customer Review: Utilisima

Este pequeño artefacto tiene una lampara de gran intensidad que permite trabajar con precisión con cosas pequeñas; se puede ajustar a cualquier superficie y con el brazo extensible colocar la lente para trabajar en forma cómoda; usa tres pilas AAA y es además elegante.

Customer Review: A Superb Collection of Music

As a musician, I first ran into this disk as a PBS broadcast. What caught my ear was that every song in the concert has "the groove." Other than a children's choral cut, not a single song in the entire collection has a flaw. You'd think the Spice Girls would be a silly addition to the concert, but they do a tremendous job. Each artist appears twice, usually with Pavaotti in one of their songs, sometimes twice. Vanessa Williams is Hot! and does an incredible dance number. The engineering is excellent, with solid side-to-side separation for a really "big" sound. All in all, this is one of the favorite CDs in my music library.

Customer Review: This is a delightful combination of music talents to enjoy!

We first saw Pavarotti and Friends on Public Television as a fundraising event. We found the CD and especially love to listen to this CD in our car which has a great sound system. Each vocalist is so special and you will be singing along with them after a couple of plays!



Icemat - Red By Soft Trading



Icemat - Red By Soft Trading
The most obvious distinction from an ordinary mouse pad is the fact that the Icemat is made from glass. The surface has been developed and tested by gamers, and a special developed treatment of the surface gives the user an experience of great accuracy and precision.The polyurethane feet beneath the Icemat, secures that the Icemat will stay in place, be stable, without sliding. Furthermore the feet will not turn yellow in time due to the expose of sunlight.Enjoy the large glass surface of the 2nd edition Icemat. The 2nd edition series, is all about cool looks, and top notch performance.

Customer Review: Icemat: Slick, Smooth and Sexy

If you are looking for a nice mat this is the way to go. The icemat might be a tad on the expensive side, but once you see how smooth your mouse glides across the surface, you will know it was worth it. I have no tracking issues with my Logitech MX518. The only con would be that it is quite large so make sure you have enough room for this beast on your desk.

Niche Marketing: A 4-Step System For Uncovering Hot Niche Markets



The following is a four-step system you can apply anytime you need to find a new niche audience to target and profit from.


1. Initial Brainstorming


This first step is best approached with a very open mind and a notebook and pen handy. The idea is to seek topics that are outside your current realm of knowledge. One of the best ways to do this is by reading blogs.


Bloggers come from every walk of life, and you will find blogs with information on almost any niche topic imaginable. Best of all, bloggers provide fresh, timely information.


Start spending some time reading some random blogs. A good starting place would be at blog directories such as Blogdex or Technorati. As you are reading, you'll discover many different topics being discussed. Many of these you may have never heard of before. Start writing these down.


Example: You found yourself reading a blog post that described the blogger's recent experience at a demolition derby. Maybe you don't know much yourself about this niche, so you add "demolition derby" to your list.


2. Keyword Research


Once you have a list of several possible niches, the next step is to find out what keywords and keyword phrases people are using to search for this and related information via the major search engines. Good Keywords is a free Windows software you can download that will help you do just this. With this program, you can type-in a topic from your list and the software will begin to uncover many related keyword phrases being actively searched for.


It takes time to get the hang of this software, but once you master it you will be able to generate large and valuable keyword lists. After you uncover at least a few dozen related keyword phrases, save your list and move onto the next step. If you are not able to uncover many related keyword phrases, chances are there is not much potential here and you should start over with another topic from step one.


Example: Using Good Keywords or a similar tool, you enter the term "demolition derby". You soon have a large list of related keyword phrases people have been using to search for information on this topic, such as "demolition derby video" and "demolition derby car for sale".


3. Secondary Idea Creation


Read through the keyword list you generated. Some of your keyword phrases are going to give you ideas for other target audiences you may want to explore in the future. Take some time now to write these new ideas down while they are still fresh in your mind. Save this information for later reference. You can never have enough fresh ideas to explore when trying to uncover under-exploited niche markets.


Example: One of the keyword phrases in your "demolition derby" list was "demolition derby game online" - you note that later you should explore what other types of online games people are searching for.


4. Niche Potential Analysis


If you used Good Keywords to mine for keyword phrases, you will have also been provided with an approximate number of times each of these terms was searched for during the past month. The next thing you need to do is compare this number, representing potential search engine traffic, with the number of websites already catering directly to these searches.


To do this, start by taking your keyword phrases and do an exact phrases search on each of them at Google, making certain to surround your keyword phrase in quotes. Write down the number of results google brings back for your search. Next, compare the number of monthly searches for each phrase to the number of Google results.


If you are lucky, you will discover that some of your keyword phrases with good monthly traffic don't have many results in the search engines yet. If you find that you have uncovered a niche that has several keyword phrases with a high number of monthly searches and at least a few of them have a low number of results in Google, chances are you have found a very good niche to exploit with your next online project. If not, go back to the list you created in step one and repeat the process.


Example: You discover that the phrase "demolition derby car for sale" is searched for around 700 times monthly, but brings back only 486 results in Google and the term "demoliton derby pic" receives several hundred searches a month but only returns 258 results in Google. You are very happy to have discovered a potentially hot niche with good under-exploited keyword phrases to target.


Although there are several costly and difficult to master programs available that can help you discover unique target markets, the system above has proven to be an effective free method for uncovering niches to profit from. Apply it today and be on your way to niche marketing success.
