Catalog Printing

Monday, January 11th, 2010

While catalog printing may sound complicated in the beginning, there are ways to make things smooth and uncomplicated to follow when it comes to catalog printing. Below are a few steps on how to “un-complicate” your printing needs and have a more desirable time printing your business catalogs.

Take advantage of templates made available by the printing company

One feature that can really help you out is to use a template provided by a catalog printing company. This should give you all the data with reference to the proper dimensions, scales and file formats that are accepted by the printing company. By using the template, you will not have to think and set the proper length and width dimensions, as well as other things like color settings and other details. Most everything is already set for you and you will only need to add your content to finish the job.

If possible take as many pictures as you can

Now for your product images for the catalog, the best way to make it easier for you is to take as many photos of them as possible. Do not worry about getting a single good shot. Just take lots of photos in different angles and lighting effects and afterward choose the best one that you like. This saves you a lot of back tracking in which you will be required to make a second photo shoot because no images are appropriate. So make sure you try out all your ideas and take many pictures. You will have a faster layout process in the end.

Set up all your text early

It also helpful to simplify your work by setting aside time to write all the text that you need. By preparing all the product descriptions, price tables and other text early on, you will not have to be bothered about it too much come design time. You just need to copy / paste the text and modify the font styles and colors. It should make designing quicker on your part.

NEOM Moves into New Office Space in Harrogate

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

NEOM Luxury Organics, a company specializing in premium spa and beauty treatments, has announced the relocation of its offices from London to Station Parade in Harrogate.

The move should not come as a surprise as the new location fits in well with the company’s image of a natural and premium beauty product manufacturer. Incidentally, the company boasts of a bevy of celebrity customers like Kate Moss, Kylie Minogue and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Commenting on the shift, the company’s founder and director Nicola Elliot said the current trend is for companies to move out of the crowded environs of London into more spacious and attractive areas like Southfield. A lease in London typically invites a long term commitment with steep overheads, which seems an unnecessary expense for most companies in present times.

On the other hand, Southfield has office rental commitments for as short as three months, with a number of amenities like secretarial services and meeting rooms. The pleasant country surroundings also fit in well with NEOM’s image, added Elliot. Moreover, the easy connectivity of the place to London and other major cities in the UK makes it a very desirable office space location to set up business.

Both NEOM Luxury Organics and the management of the complex seem pleased by the relocation. The office complex is currently managed by Forsyth Business Centres and Moorgarth Properties, Ltd.

Pop-Up Ads on 3 Mobile Broadband

Friday, July 24th, 2009

3 Mobile Broadband has always been known for putting its network coverage and strength to optimum use. In a move to create a new stream of revenue, the company has announced to sell advertisement space on its mobile broadband welcome page that comes up alongside the connection manager when a broadband dongle is plugged into the computer or laptop, and is looking for advertising partners to sign up for the deal until the end of this year.

This move comes after the same model received an overwhelming response in Austria where the company has recorded over 6% click-through rate.

3 Mobile has invited potential ad buyers to utilise this lucrative opportunity to pull the attention of its huge number of subscribers towards their products and services – for a comparison with the other mobile broadband service providers, such as the Virgin dongle, refer to the dedicated website Mobile Broadband Genie, for an overall comparison of the top service providers’ offers and performance.

Neil Andrews, Head of Advertising at 3mobile UK, defending the move and said that 3 Mobile UK has always been able to bring in new modes of mobile advertising because of its sturdy and large network that has supported all such initiatives. He further added that this move will not affect the customers in any way as these advertisements will be inconspicuous. He said that the idea is to create a dashboard complete with an advertising panel, which will display these advertisements, and if the customer wants to explore the ad further, he can click on it.

Despite all assurances by the company, there are some serious doubts about the measurement of data usage. It is certain that these ads will be data heavy, now what remains to be confirmed is whether the data used for displaying these graphics will be cut from the customer’s existing allowance or will it be over and above it.

The Increasing Power Of Publicity – And How It Can Benefit Your Business

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

The call came into my office and the voice on the other end was very energetic, almost giddy: “I have finalized my marketing budget and need your help launching an advertising campaign for my new product,” he breathed. “Congratulations,” I replied, “but before we implement an ad campaign, I want to make sure you have explored potential PUBLICITY opportunities that could generate some cost-efficient media exposure first.” Then, silence. “I never thought about that,” he sighed. “Frankly, I don’t know much about it.”

He is not alone. It’s a common conversation. Although many entrepreneurs or business people know a bit about publicity or media exposure, the majority of them simply don’t understand the full benefits of “publicity placements” or how to go about generating them successfully. Publicity placements have always been a cost-efficient way to market a product/business and generate clients or customers, but because of lack of knowledge or a misunderstanding of what publicity is and does, many entrepreneurs don’t take full advantage of publicity opportunities — and that can lead to missed marketing chances.

I recently surveyed a few dozen business owners and entrepreneurs in some newsgroups and business chat rooms about their knowledge of “publicity placements” in the media. I found out that only 37% knew that a simple “product profile” in a magazine was generated as a result of publicity efforts. Most thought the company had paid the media outlet to run the feature, much like an ad. And of that 37%, less than half of them knew HOW to generate a similar placement.

Another interesting fact, because of the recent slowdown in the economy, expensive advertising budgets have been slashed. As a result, many businesses, like your competitors, are turning to publicity/PR campaigns as a more affordable means of marketing to compete with other companies. Here are some ways to use publicity placements to help your business:

Editorial Placements/Media Notification: What some entrepreneurs might not realize is that we see editorial placements from publicity efforts everyday in the media: product profiles, feature articles and contributed by-lined articles in magazines, newspapers, trade industry newsletters or on TV/radio/cable newscasts & shows. This is not advertising, this is “EDITORIAL Placement” or “Media Notification” of a product, business or industry expert. Notify the appropriate media that your newsworthy product is on the market or your business is offering a unique new service and let them run a feature placement that will spread that message to your consumer market. These placements can detail your product or business very effectively, giving consumers some objective, pertinent information that may well entice them to become future customers.

These editorial placements are looked upon much more credibly than ad placements. That is not a slam on advertising. Paying for advertising placements is indeed an effective way to market your product. But the fact is, a positive editorial placement such as a product profile in a magazine or a newspaper can be much more persuasive than a glossy, over-hyped advertisement – and a fraction of the cost. My point is that editorial placements are an often time overlooked marketing vehicle for a business, and that entrepreneurs should understand the full benefits of these placements to make the most of their marketing efforts.

Editorial placements are a wonderfully reciprocal way for you and the media to work together for the betterment of your business. The media needs to fill its pages and airtime with interesting information — and you need to get the word out to your market. Research the media market to find those media outlets and editorial contacts with which you can forge that mutually beneficial relationship. But you have to do your part and do it right – or the media will forge that relationship with your competitor. Make sure your media message is solid, contains newsworthy angles and isn’t disguised as overly commercialized ad copy. Have high-quality photos and media samples available and do all you can to make the media’s job of featuring your product as simple as possible. It also helps to have some sort of clipping service in place to track your placements and get you copies so you can use them in your secondary marketing programs.

Expert Branding: This type of publicity placement generating takes advantage of the expert knowledge within a particular business. It is an effective tool for entrepreneurs whose businesses are more service related, like consultants or specialists. Expert branding basically treats the expert like a product. Alert the media as to your expertise on a specific topic and avail yourself to serve as an expert interview resource for future articles or news feature segments. Additionally, the expert should write a few brief articles on a specialized topic and make them available to editors for review and possible publication. The challenge of this type of publicity placement is the tedious task of finding out which outlets accept “expert editorial contributions” or contributed by-lined articles in their publications. Again, it comes down to meticulously researching your media market to find those media outlets that may be in need of the editorial content that you can provide them.

With some creativity, expert branding can be effective for product-based businesses as well. One client of mine runs a fresh wild salmon distribution business in the Pacific Northwest and was looking to increase consumer awareness of his products. Based on his more than 20 years of experience in the wild salmon harvesting business, we are expert branding him as a viable interview resource to health/food editors for features detailing the differences and benefits of wild salmon over farm-raised fish, as well as other related topics. In this case, my client (the expert) is identified and quoted in features and the name of the business and even a link to a website are often included for consumers to check out. This is great credibility building exposure at little or no cost.

Overall, when using the media to help market your product or business, take advantage of as many FREE media opportunities as you can. If you lack the expertise or time, a PR agency or publicist can generate the editorial placements for you. But the fee you pay them is a FRACTION of what it would cost you to buy similar sized ad placements. And those publicity placements typically lead to a much better consumer response right out of the gate – which is just what you need to boost your business to the next level.

This Season’s Trends Can Be Found in Discount Children’s Clothing

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Fashion trends go beyond the runways of Paris, Milan, and New York City. And it isn’t only fashionistas who are the trendsetters when it comes to what to wear for work or play. Although the big girls and boys grab the headlines, toddlers, boys, and girls have their own sense of style.

So, what’s hot this season in the boutique world of children’s clothing? It depends upon the age of the children and the lifestyle they lead. Here’s the lowdown on what’s uptown for children’s clothes:

Casual Girls and Toddlers: The women’s fashion trend in ponchos has translated to girls’ clothing. Pair a poncho with bell-bottom pants and a textured mock turtleneck, and you’ve got a winning ensemble.

Dressy Girls and Toddlers: Fabrication and embellishments are key in dressing up the little missy. Embroidered flowers and velvet collars and cuffs are in style, while satin underskirts with tulle overlays are de rigueur for little girls’ gowns. Rhinestone and sequin accents make little ones sparkle when they’re wearing their special occasion dresses.

Girls’ Accessories: Accessories are all about texture and bling this season, with furry (faux, of course) purses or fashion handbags with rhinestones and sequins topping the list. Party hair bows are multi-color, often featuring dots, and hair scrunchies have a little extra sparkly pizzazz.

Casual Boys and Toddlers: Functionality is always at the heart of boys’ fashion, and this season is no exception. Casual boys’ clothing is all about graphic, sports-themed T-shirts paired with stonewash jeans. For little tykes, construction-themed shirts and logo pants, as well as graphic T-shirts featuring popular cartoon characters are the standard uniform.

Dressy Boys and Toddlers: When it’s time to ditch the jeans, boys and toddlers are climbing into corduroy pants, plaid shirts, and vests or sweater vests. The toddler wardrobe may also contain a pair of all-too-cute knickers, worn with a long-sleeved white shirt and bow tie. For older boys with older occasions, formalwear means a formal tuxedo – either black or white – complete with tails.

Unless you own you very own boutique, it’s difficult to keep up with the latest trends in children’s clothing without breaking the budget. Fortunately, there are a number of discount children’s clothing stores, as well as online resources for discount children’s clothing. Finding girls’ dresses and gowns, as well as boys’ casual and formalwear is a breeze when, with the click of your mouse, you can find discount children’s clothing online.
