You're Invited: FREE Marketing Tele-Class

The Power of Branding and Image: When the
Product is Invisible, the Package Is the Product
with Mark Merenda of
SmartMarketing
In marketing, when a product is invisible, or when a
product is a commodity (like tea), then the packaging
becomes all important.
That’s true for any professional service. The longer
your image says “struggling professional”
or "amateur," the longer the struggle. People listen
with their eyes. You must look as great as you are
(or better).
In this powerful presentation, Mark Merenda of
SmartMarketing explains the importance of marketing
and branding in a way you haven't heard before. Just
a few of the concepts that will be covered include:
- Why image is vitally important to professional
service businesses
- How clients "listen" with their eyes and what your
image is telling them
- The power of first impressions and how quickly
and lastingly they are formed
- Why investing in your business image is one of
the smartest revenue-generating moves you can
make
Plus more, with whatever questions come up.
This teleclass was originally aimed at Virtual
Assistants; however, all professional service providers
who have struggled with justifying the expenditure of
funds on marketing and branding will benefit from the
information presented and are welcome to attend.
Please join us, and help lay to rest any uneasiness
you feel about investing in your image.The class
is on Thursday, January 18th, so click the

Thinking of bringing one more thing into your home?
First make sure of two things: you have a place to
put it (other than the kitchen table), and it makes
you smile. If it doesn't have a logical home and it
doesn't bring you joy, it doesn't belong in your life.
At Home
- Bring order, calm, and control to your home and
family life.
- Save money by organizing your bills, your
shopping, and your clothing.
- Get more done in less time.
- Put your house in order so you can find what you
need—and need what you find!
At Work
- Bring structure, logic, and control to your
organization, at any level.
- Optimize workflow to increase productivity,
reduce stress, and heighten profitability.
- Build companywide systems or define
responsibilities for a single employee.
- Motivate your team with real solutions to the
everyday or ongoing challenges of too much to do,
changing priorities, and information overload.

The Disposable, Simple E-Mail Address
|
|
How many times has this happened to you? You visit
a web site but registration is required, with a valid
email address needed for confirmation. But maybe it's
just a message board you want to read one time
only, or a store you have no interest in shopping from
again and from which you don't want to be saddled
with a lifetime of spam. And you can't use a made-up
email address because you have to confirm a link or
send back a reply.
One solution is to register for a free email account
specifically for uses like this by visiting one of any
number of web-based mail systems, such as Yahoo!
Mail, Hotmail, or Gmail, but registering for any of
these takes an eternity. Then there are passwords to
contend with, a mother's maiden name to input, all
kinds of overhead in getting the account set up and
logged into. I use these kinds of accounts, but
sometimes the password gets lost, and eventually
they fill with spam, making it a pain to navigate.
Well here's a brain-dead simple solution to the
problem: 10 Minute Mail, which
provides, for free, exactly what is promised in the
name: An email address that vanishes after 10
minutes. There's no registration, no verification. Just
click over to the site and hit "Get my 10 Minute Mail
e-mail address." You'll instantly be given an address
that ceases to exist after 10 minutes. You can then
use this address in filling out web forms or whatnot,
and a very simple web-based interface gives you full
access to any mail the account receives. You can
reply to any messages, but you can't send mail to an
account that hasn't already emailed you. If you can't
get the job done in 10 minutes, you can reset the
timer to 10 minutes at any time. There's no need to
login, no password to remember.
For safe surfing and spam avoidance, I haven't found
a simpler, more elegant solution than 10 Minute Mail.
It works flawlessly and couldn't be easier to use. It's
earned a place in my Favorites folder. Give it a spin
and see what you think!
