Below you will find a few tips to get you started:1) Assess Potential Start-Up CostsBefore you commit to creating an online presence, you should be aware of all start-up costs, which for some may seem quit

I could probably say this more tactfully, but here’s the truth: If you’re spending thousands of dollars for space to be seen and heard, and then run a Yellow Page ad that fails to grab your prospect’s eye and say something compelling, well you’re wasting your darn money!Sounds obvious put into black and white, doesn’t it? But take a look in your Yellow Page directory and see for yourself. Do any ads grab you by the collar and pull you in? Is there one Yellow Page ad that speaks directly to YOUR felt needs, wishes and emotional state of mind? Or are your eyes skimming over a sea of clip-art image
On the other hand, there are many talented Web designers to choose from. But talent will only take one so far. A designer has to understand and master the essence of design: Design with purpose, Create with purpose, and Implement with purpose.
As with the world of print, TV, and radio, a designer must design with four specific goals in mind:
Branding Good branding makes the cash register ring. Take Fox News as a case in point. Unlike CNN or MSNBC, Fox strives to be a bit more edgy and bold -- and they lead the pack. Their logo animation, bumper graphics, and over-the-shoulder graphics are bright primary colors. Even their music is a bit edgier with guitar riffs versus the subdued music tones of the other stations.

There are three words which often bother me. " I remember when….." When my peers and friends use them, I always feel like telling them to switch gears and think about today and tomorrow, not yesterday. They seldom comply. Now, having been invited to write about how the ad agency business has changed since I was in it on a day-to-day basis, I suppose I have to "remember when."If you remember when Channel 10 did a live, (LIVE!) daily, (DAILY!) Network (NETWORK!) show, you're probably as old as I am.If you remember when ad agencies relied heavily on Type Shops for fast, efficient service, you are probably in your forties.If

If you are considering starting up a business, you are facing both an exciting and stressful time. To succeed, you should avoid the common mistakes many new business owners make.The motivation to start a business is usually derived from a dream. You envision something of interest that you think you can make money off of. You probably have been sitting on the idea for some time and something has motivated you to finally have a go at it. Maybe your finances are such that you can comfortably devote your time to it. Maybe you got laid off. Regardless, a vision is not enough to ensure your success! Over the years, I’ve seen many businesses

Relationships are often created with the brand rather than with an individual. Did you every hear anyone boast about their relationship with a branded company? It is usually in the form of brand loyalty. Brands that appeal usually have at least five distinct functions. Company identification (or product or service) Description on the emotional level of the product or service Legally protected to prevent others from using it Easy to say and spell Globally appealing (does not offend anyone in another country) If you can master all of these, then cr
Concept A great concept on a shoe-string budget will blow away a weak concept on a multi-million dollar budget any day. For example, how many truck or SUV commercials have you seen with guys careening through mud or snow-covered mountain passes as the words scream out “Chevy Tough” or “Ford, Built to Last.” I can’t believe executives at these car companies spend millions each year on poorly conceived advertising campaigns.
Now, see if you remember this one. A mother is about to drop her child off at school, and asks if he’d rather get dropped off at the curb instead of directly in-front of the school. The child says, “nah, that’s okay mom.” He steps down from the Hummer and strolls up to the school entrance while an older student, with his eyes glued to the Hummer, says “cool.” This is a “concept;” a very well executed concept. It strongly conveys an attitu
