Create Your Own Business Cards, Part 2
This is the second part of creating your own business card. If you missed the first one, let me know: mailto:webmistress@janes-place.com Click in the box, where you want your text to appear.Type in your text. Make sure the text is where you want it. For example, in my card the bottom text wasn't under my logo. To put it under the logo, I highlighted the text I wanted under the logo and clicked on the left button on the tool bar. You can change the font, by going to the 'Format Menu' and choosing 'Font'. Choose your Font size and the type of Font you want. Click 'ok'. NOTE: Be sure you choose a Font that is easily read. If you don't, you may as well not have a business card. NOTE: If you create your card and don't like the way it looks, you can undo the changes, by going to the 'Edit Menu' and choose 'Undo'. You can also highlight the area you want to do over and undo it the same way. If you create your Business Card with a URL or Email, be sure to turn off the hyperlink like we did for our Letterhead. You can print the Business Cards your self or have them printed professionally. For best results, they should be printed on 250 gsm or thicker paper. Most printers can only handle 160 gsm, therefore you might want to go the professional printer route. If you are operating on a small budget, like most small businesses, print them yourself. That way the cost will just be for the ink and paper. If you choose to have them printed professionally, you will need to copy it to a floppy disk. To do this, go to 'start' -- 'programs' --'Windows Explorer' . Click on the + next to 'My Documents'. Choose the folder your Business card is in and double-click on it. On the right side of the screen, you will see the file, 'Business Card'. Right-click on it and choose 'Send To' -- 3 1/2 Floppy A'. It will then be copied to your Floppy Disk. Take this disk to the professional printing place and they will do the rest. If you choose to print them yourself, you will need to create more than one card and buy the paper to print them on [at least 160 gsm]. To create more than one card, we will copy and paste the original card. Click inside the card area. Go to the 'Table Menu' -- 'Select' -- 'Table'. Go to the 'Edit Menu' and choose 'Copy'. Go to the space directly under the first card and hit enter. Go to the 'Edit Menu' and choose 'Paste Cells'. A copy of your business card will appear. Continue this process until you finish the first row. Word will automatically move to the second row. Continue this process until the page is full. Go to the 'File Menu', choose 'Print'. Under 'Page Range', be sure that 'all' is selected. Choose the number of copies you want and click 'ok'.

The Not-So-Hidden Persuaders: The Power of The Media Upon Us All
In 1957, a perspicacious young journalist from
Pennsylvania named Vance Packard wrote a book called
The Hidden Persuaders. It was meant to explain to the
public at large why they buy the products they do and to warn
them about the psychological aspects of consumer appeal
that lie beneath the levels of consciousness. A red car, for
example, has hidden stimuli, for red is a color that makes
people angry. If you think I'm nuts, (I am, but not about this),
check with some insurance companies. I was
dumbfounded to learn that the collision rate was slightly
higher for a red car! Packard's premise was mind-boggling
and insightful for its day. Even he, however, under-estimated
the full extent to which modern advertising has penetrated
our psyches.
Effective Promotions Through Local Classified Sites
Today's online marketplace is extremely competitive. People want to market their products and services with the most cost effective manner possible. Some will market the old fashion way by placing ads in local newspapers while others will aggressively market on the Internet for less money.
There are many online resources for marketing but the most attractive marketing medium is
free online classifieds. The reason for this is obvious. It doesn't get much better than free. Thousands of people promote products and services everyday via online classified sites. Since classified sites are free users often do not bother to take the time to construct quality ads that sell. If your going to promote your product or service shouldn't it be done so you can get a reaction? The answers is yes!
The goal is to get a reaction. Those who place free classified ads should pay attention
to detail. Describe your product or service by painting a clear and concise picture. If you answer all questions before they are asked it will save you
a lot of time. If you opt not to specify details the prospective buyer might find a better advertisement.
Before writing up the classified ad you should look around at other ads to see how others with similar advertisements construct their ads. A good ad will be
concise. It will be descriptive and it will be an eye catcher. When creating an ad for a product you should always try to include a picture to show what you are selling. A picture can sell better than a few lines of text. This doesn't mean writing isn't important because the two ad components (picture & text) compliment
each other. Make sure to poof the layout and grammar of your classified ad before submission.
