      <title><strong>Integrating Design Mathematics In Large Posters</strong></title>
      <description><![CDATA[Mathematics and art have long been concepts that go hand in hand in making beautiful things. When it comes to poster printing, you can use mathematics to create wonderful and well proportioned art for large posters. Do not worry though, it is not that complicated and you do not even need a master’s degree in anything to pull it off. In this article I will guide you in the two important mathematical concepts that you can integrate into your poster printing designs.

Using the power of Phi: First we have “Phi”. It is a Greek letter, but it also represents what has come to be known as the golden ratio or divine ratio. The exact value of this ratio is “1.61803....” but for your purposes we will round it off to just 1.62. This ratio is said to be aesthetically pleasing and in fact can be found naturally in terms of the ratios of stem segments in plants, skeletal systems in animals and even the geometric patterns in crystals.

Now, this may all sound complicated at first but applying it to your large posters should be easy. To do this, you will only need to know some multiplication. Now, for example you want a large poster to have a fixed height or width of about 12 inches (or about 30.48 centimeters). To get the proper length of the other dimension (height or width) you can multiply the value by the golden ratio. Using metric for proper mathematics, 30.48 multiplied by 1.62 we get 49.38 roughly. So give or take a few points in centimeters, the best dimension for your large poster should be 30.5 by 49 centimeters or around12 by 19 inches. Using this dimension should produce an aesthetically pleasing dimension that is perfect for your large posters. Try it out and you should never go wrong. It is mathematically natural.

The rule of thirds: Now, this next one is easier. It is called the rule of thirds and it can be applied to photographs and images. This concept basically means that you have to divide your poster design into three distinct parts vertically  ..]]></description>

      <title><strong>Are Your Custom Brochures Boring?</strong></title>
      <description><![CDATA[Are you getting slow responses in your designs for brochure printing? Well, there are many factors that can make custom brochures boring. While there is no one solution to prevent this, there are a few important techniques that you can adopt to make sure you minimize the chances of being boring. Below are five strategies that usually work.

1. Veer away from common template layouts - The best strategy that I usually encounter is the move to veer away from common templates. This means that you can leave the common and boring trifold brochure template behind in favor of more interesting template layouts. You can try using other kinds of folds like French folds, accordion folds or even gate folds. This small shift in layout can be a big thing as people will be easily attracted to unusual brochure folds like this.

2. Review your contemporaries and distinguish yourself - Next, you can also avoid being boring by directly designing your brochures so that they look original and considerably different and distinct from other brochures. Do this by reviewing the other brochures in the market and simply designing something that is not them. By making your brochure distinctively different you can have that original and novelty value that is hardly boring for most people when compared to other brochures.

3. Do not be afraid to try new untested designs - Also, one of the barriers why people end up making a boring brochure is fear about designs. Most want to play it safe and go for “tried and tested” concepts. However, in most circumstances these designs are already very ineffective and boring. To really make a mark in your brochures and avoid being boring like that, you need to risk it and try new untested designs. Why not try using abstract art, or going for an exotic theme in your brochures? Maybe you can try printing differently shaped brochures to make things interesting? You will be surprised at people’s positive reactions when they do see a brochure that is try ..]]></description>

      <title><strong>Capitalize On Message Delivery With Custom Booklets</strong></title>
      <description><![CDATA[Business booklet printing is usually aimed for two purposes. First, custom booklets can be made for information awareness or training purposes and second they can be used for product advertising. Whichever the case though, the goal for business booklet printing is to maximize the delivery of the message to everyone who needs it. These people can either be your customers, your employees or even your investors. To make sure that you can give your message to every one of them though you have to be sure that your custom booklets are up to the task. In this article, we will share with you five easy tips that can maximize your message delivery to everyone you need. Just follow them below.

1. Print small and mobile. To keep your booklets mobile and easy to distribute, the best way is to print small. This of course does not mean that you will print only novena type “super small” booklets. No not at all. This only means that it is best to print something that is small enough to be mobile. People should be able to put them in their pockets and they should have an easy time in referring to them and then storing them once again. For booklet distributors on the other hand, they should have an equally easy time giving your booklets away by hand, by mail or by other various means. With booklets that are small, people will not have a hard time carrying it. They should have no troubles at all in picking up your booklet.

2. Compose short and easy to understand content. Also, your content can play a role to get as many people to read your message in your booklets. First, let us say that your booklet content is long and very technical. With that, there is a chance that people can hardly be motivated to read your booklet, hence your message would not be delivered. In fact they may even get bored or frustrated by very long winded content for something as small as a booklet. So always make sure that you compose your booklets with the shortest amount of content possible. Be as co ..]]></description>

FROOTS, a rapidly growing quick service food and smoothies franchise, announces the opening of its newest restaurant in Cedar Park, Texas.

The Cedar Park FROOTS restaurant opened May 4th and is located at 1335 E. Whitestone Boulevard. &amp;quot;Our location in the 1890 Ranch Shopping Center,&amp;quot; said Reyna, &amp;quot;is next to Gold's Gym and across from Seton Hospital.

&amp;quot;Every since I've had my own children,&amp;quot; added Roxanne, mother of Carter (8) and Coco (18 months), &amp;quot;I've really struggled with combining convenience and nutrition.

FROOTS solves this dilemma and I'm so pleased to be able to offer this to my neighbors in Cedar Park.&amp;quot;

      <title><strong>How To Reinvent Your Trifold Brochures</strong></title>
      <description><![CDATA[Trifold brochures are a dime a dozen these days and if you have been printing brochures for a long time you have probably worn out the different combinations of your content to make them look new and interesting. At times like this when most of your ideas are spent, you may want to overhaul your trifold brochures and reinvent them into something totally new. Doing this is a simple enough task if you are up to it. To help you out, here are our five steps in reinventing your color brochures.

1. Change your words. 
One road to brochure reinventions is just to change your words. For example if you have been always printing the same “relax here” phrase for your travel brochure, you may want to change it to something different like “live differently”. Any kind of change of message can significantly change the tone of your brochure reinventing it to something more. In our example, those simple phrase changes converts the brochure message from being just a mundane travel message to an inspirational and lifestyle message. This alone reinvents your brochure into something quite unique and effective. So do not misjudge a simple change in words can do for your brochures.

2. Print bigger and better. 
Next, for a physical reinvention of your trifold brochure, you can try to print them in bigger dimensions. While not the most popular choice in reinvention, printing large color brochures can be a nice way to catch people’s eyes. Of course big things are easier to see, and everybody becomes curious when they do see something large and well free to see. So while your message can be the same, with larger brochures, you will probably get more people to read and hence you will get your message across. A small reinvention idea, but with big results.

3. Enhance and improve your pictures.
Of course your pictures may also be something that you can reinvent. Instead of your usual corporate pictures or product pictures why not try to enhance them? You can try and add in  ..]]></description>

      <title><strong>Close More Sales: 3 Ways to Get In, Get Started and Make More Money Now</strong></title>
      <description><![CDATA[Yes, the economy is lagging and budgets are cut. Yes, we have competition. Yes, clients are postponing buying decisions.
 
So what?
 
If you focus on building relationships and implement the sales strategies I reveal here, you'll be able to close more deals and get more sales now. People will buy from you even in a lagging economy -- no matter what your price point. 
 
3 Ways to Get In, Get Started, and Close More Deals
 
Sales Closing Tip 1: Recommend New Approaches
 
Good salespeople have always talked about creating value. Now we need to put ourselves in our clients' shoes and be creative. We must get in and get started. Think smart, not big. It's always smarter to have a smaller piece of something, than a big piece of nothing. Begin with a smaller project, a reduced order, or a regional, rather than global, implementation. Get in, and get to know the client. Let them get to know you. Get to know their business. 
 
Sales Closing Tip 2: Create Metrics
 
Sit on the same side of the table as your client. Work together to determine the best way to get started. Always, always, create metrics with your client. How do you, together, define success? Get agreement that once this project is successful--according to the metrics you've agreed upon--that the client will work with you to identify other sales opportunities within their organization. A successful project breeds a successful relationship, which leads to successful referrals. This means more sales leads and more money for you!
 
Sales Closing Tip 3: Negotiate or Walk
 
Yes, the client will want to negotiate on price. That's their job--to build business while watching the bottom line. How many times have you submitted a sales proposal to a client, and had them say, right off the bat, &amp;quot;Great! Where do I sign?&amp;quot; It doesn't happen. We always want to get the best deal, so why wouldn't our clients?
 
If you must adjust your price, then adjust the scale of your project or the deliverables as  ..]]></description>

      <title><strong>How to Lose a Prospect’s Attention Quickly and Easily</strong></title>
      <description><![CDATA[When you make contact with a new prospect—either by telephone or in a face-to-face meeting—you have an extremely short window of time to connect with them. If you fail to achieve this they will quickly tune you out. Here are several things you can do to lose your prospect’s attention in the first five seconds of the conversation:

1.	Start a telephone conversation with, “Hi, how are you?”
2.	Open your conversation by introducing yourself, your company and what you do.
3.	Make small talk about “stuff” you see in their office (awards, plaques, photos, etc).
4.	Give them an overview of your products and services.
5.	Explain how your product or service will benefit them.
6.	Tell them what other companies you have worked with.
7.	Show them the awards and accolades your company product has received.
8.	Give them a brochure that outlines your key products or services.

Unfortunately, most sales people fail to effectively open the sales conversation with a new prospect. Most of the sales calls and meetings I have been subjected to over the years have started with one or more of the above. However, the moment your prospect senses that you are trying to sell them something that they don’t need or want they will tune you out and look for a way to disengage or disconnect from the call. They don’t care about you. They don’t want to know about your company. They don’t want to listen to you talk about your products or service. They want a solution to a problem. They want to know how you can help them improve their business. Here is how you do that.

Focus your attention on the prospect! 

It may sound simple but most sales people don’t get it. They still believe that selling means talking at great length about their company, their product or their service. However, truly effective salesmanship is all about asking the prospect the right questions and demonstrating that you can help them solve a particular problem or issue. That means you need  ..]]></description>

      <title><strong>Running Effective Sales Meetings</strong></title>
      <description><![CDATA[Sales meetings are a fact of life and business and they are important for a variety of reasons. They allow larger companies to address the entire sales team as a group. They offer opportunities to provide additional training (product, skills, and technical). They help keep your team up-to-date. And, they present a tremendous opportunity for your team to connect and develop stronger relationships with each other. Unfortunately, many sales meetings are unproductive and not nearly as effective as they could be. Here are a few of the most common mistakes people make when scheduling and running sales meetings. 

They try to pack too much information into the meeting. This often with larger organizations when the entire sales team only gets together once or twice a year. The meeting planner (Owner, President, Vice President, Sales Manager, etc.) believes that the more information that is reviewed, the better their return on investment. I recall one of my managers once stating, “Since we have them here for three days let’s make sure we cover everything.” He then scheduled each day of meetings to start at 8:30 A.M. and finish at 6:30 P.M. Meetings must be more than information-dumps. People can only absorb so much information in a given period. When this capacity is reached, attendees begin to tune out and the effectiveness of the meeting starts to diminish because of the amount information the company wants to cram into a single day.

Solution: Recognize that marathon sessions are seldom effective. If you have a team that is spread out geographically, consider scheduling tele-conference meetings or use Internet technology to communicate regular changes to your team. A sales manager I know has a weekly meeting with his team to keep them abreast of sales results, new products, and updates. However, he only reviews a few topics and keeps these meetings relatively short (one hour or less) to ensure people stay focused.

Too many meetings. In smaller companies, it i ..]]></description>

      <title><strong> How to Convert Every Web Page or visitors into Subscriber </strong></title>
      <description><![CDATA[The following paragraphs summarize the work of email marketing 
experts who are completely familiar with all the aspects of 
converting every web page or visitors into subscriber. Heed 
their advice to avoid any email marketing surprises. 


If you own one-page sales letter business models or content-based 
websites, you should turn every webpage possible into subscriber 
snatching devices for you. The good news is that not only is 
this method extra effective, it is just as extra effortless 
when it comes to applying the concept.

Since visitors can come and leave without remembering your 
website in the future (which is very likely to happen), you 
can still follow up with your visitors easily by seeking their 
permission to opt into your mailing list through your web 
pages – on autopilot!

You can create a pop up window to appear after your visitor 
attempts to close the window or leaves your website, asking 
for your visitor’s name and email address so that you can follow 
up with him or her in the near future via subscribing to 
your mailing list for free.

This way, you can convert a big portion of your visitors into 
subscribers, giving you a chance to follow up with them on 
other offers you may have in the future.

Alternatively, you can insert an opt-in form within the spaces 
of your web pages. This method is effective, especially if 
you are afraid of Internet users who have pop up killers 
installed in their web browsers, set to block any pop up 
windows.

In conclusion, turning every webpage you own into subscriber 
snatching devices with little effort can be responsible for 
huge subscriber-pulling results.

Converting Every Visitor into Subscriber

If a person visits your website and leaves, chances are 
that he or she will not come back, especially if there are 
no compelling reasons to do so. After all, we all behave 
rather impulsively on the Internet, so much so that we

      <title><strong>Save Your Money In Color Brochures</strong></title>
      <description><![CDATA[Make no mistake. Color brochures are expensive. Even more so, high quality full color brochures with full color photographs top always the list of expensive brochure printing. So when you see that you will need to print color brochures for your business or project it is to be expected that you will want to do everything in your power to minimize that cost. In this special guide for color brochures, we will show you how to do just that in four simple ways.

1. Selective color printing - One good way to cut the cost of printing your color brochures is to print them using only a few select colors. The standard four color printing process these days is very expensive and printing colors selectively becomes very economical in the process. For example, if your brochure really only needs two colors for its logo and graphics while the rest is just text, then you can print your brochures using only those two colors. Most color printers do give discounts or reduced printing quotations when you say that you want to print colors selectively. So take that money saving opportunity when you can.

2. Using standard processes - Next, you can gain more savings in brochure printing by only using standard processes. This means you can save money by not deviating too much on the design and just following the standard templates and procedures for printing. This will give you the base cost which should usually be the cheapest for color brochure printing. However, when you use very deviant designs, you should expect a very high quotation for printing since customization means printers need to do extra work. So is it worth it? When you compare standard and custom jobs, using standard designs and processes can net you a 10-20% savings just because they are easier to produce while custom jobs significantly cost more. So use the standard process if you can.

3. Minimizing full color photographs - Also you can try to save money by using your full color photographs minimally. Full color pi ..]]></description>

      <title><strong>Execute Rhythm with an Easy-to-Implement Strategic Planning Process</strong></title>
      <description><![CDATA[Many businesses have a strategic planning process that leads to objectives and goals that hopefully, in turn, lead to flawless execution. This process usually equates to some sort of far-off ideal and loose timeline for achievement. Few organizations have Mission Objectives that relate daily, weekly and monthly activities to these objectives and goals.  And even fewer businesses have an identifiable common strategic planning process that eventually guarantees flawless execution outcomes. Whether the project is big or small, many organizations routinely place most, if not all, of the responsibilities on one person and hope for the expected results (i.e. flawless execution)  at the end of the established timeline. Perfect execution is most probably impossible but even basic execution is doomed to fail without a performance driven framework such as the Flawless Execution(SM) model.  Without a displined framework supporting the strategic planning process, many projects are liable to stall as deadlines get pushed back and go unchecked, delaying results, progress, and improvements. But, short of overhauling its entire strategic mission planning process, what can an organization do to create actionable objectives and supplement them with a process that will ensure the desired results of flawless execution at the finish line?

When things go wrong, decision makers are apt to throw their hands up in frustration, due, in part, to the absence of common clarity around the plan. The six steps to mission planning -  setting an objective, evaluating threats, identifying resources, considering Lessons Learned, planning courses of action, and establishing contingency backups - leverage the well-known Flawless Execution model and support the strategic planning process. These steps, which should be the engine of any strategic planning process that drive flawless execution, are also useful when addressing 'lack of clarity' around a plan. As a vital, organizationally-driven framework  ..]]></description>
