Advertising In A Tough Economy

Posted by CpuWizShot | Posted in | Posted on 8:50 AM

A 1979 study covering 1974/1975 and its post-recession years found that "Companies which did not cut back marketing expenditures experienced higher sales and net income during those two years and the two years following than those companies which cut in either or both recession years.

A 2001 study found that aggressive recession advertisers increased market share 2 1/2 times the average for all businesses in the post-recession economy.

Advertisers should use this time to widen the gap between themselves and their competitors by grabbing market share through staying in the market with a continued investment in advertising.

Here's what advertisers who have learned the importance of continued advertising had to say:



  • "...don't find yourself wishing you had bought an ad six months from now, when it's too late..."

  • "...those who don't continue to advertise, usually don't make it..."

  • "...my print ads came through for me when nothing else was working..."

Success Tips For Banquet Facilities

Banquet facilities – also called “event sites” – and related services are found in several different types of food service operations, such as the following: freestanding facilities that provide space and party-related service for events; hotels with on site catering and banquet sales staff; restaurants that host special events in their catering and private dining areas; historic homes, museums, concert halls, stadiums and country clubs that rent out their banquet facilities; and hospitals, universities, and “contract employee feeders” (non-commercial operators) that serve patients, students and employees and also cater events.

  • Be cognizant of and ready to explain labor costs and the logistics that
    will be required to transport people to and from the site – and be upfront
    about any activity restrictions associated with the site.
  • For corporate events, thoroughly understand the goals of the meeting
    or event: Will there be intensive training sessions? Will attendees need
    to use laptops or take notes? Is the meeting formal or casual? How
    much free time will be built into the schedule? Is there fl exibility as to
    when lunch or dinner can be served?
  • Be flexible and accommodating when clients make special requests.
    Events often require that equipment is delivered in tight “windows of
    opportunity,” so staff should always be on hand to oversee delivery and
    ensure that equipment is secure and installed without problems.
  • Ensure that any technical aspects associated with providing the
    entertainment can be hidden from view when the space is in use, to
    maintain ambiance and a clutter-free environment.
  • Make available technical, design and audio team personnel before and
    during all phases of the event, to help make planners comfortable that
    the event will occur as they envision.
  • Be creative in adapting the facility to refl ect the theme that the planner
    or client has chosen.

Book Stores

Independent, community-based book stores were once the first place people looked for books, but beginning in the 1960s, chain book stores began appearing in malls across the country. These were followed by bookstores offering discounts on slightly damaged books or books that had been purchased from other stores that had gone out of business.


  • Make the store a community-centered space. Host book signings and
    lecture series by authors, and keep books by local authors in stock.
    The more events that take place, the better.
  • Encourage employees to be creative and come up with ideas for
    making the store more money. Employees may think of something that
    will even create a new job or role for themselves.
  • Initiate a profi t-sharing program for employees to involve them in
    making the business a success. Post sales results from the same
    quarter in the previous year, so that employees know that they will
    receive a check at the end of the quarter if they exceed the past year’s
    quarterly sales figure.
  • Offer free wireless Internet (wi-fi ) access for customers in a
    designated area of the store. Doing this will draw in new people. And
    people entering a store to use a wi-fi hotspot are likely to purchase
    something. Also, having a wi-fi hotspot helps give the store a
    progressive character.
  • Hold a store wide sale on a particular day of the year, such as New
    Year’s Day. Publicize the sale during the month before the sale day.

Success Tips for Dance Instructors

Posted by CpuWizShot | Posted in , , | Posted on 8:15 AM

Many studios offer a free introductory lesson, after which many students choose a “pay as you go” plan. However, most dancing instruction schools encourage a per-month or per-semester program. There are a number of factors that studio owners and managers said are critical to success in the dance instruction business. Here they are:

  1. Be an effective, enthusiastic communicator, to take advantage
    of opportunities to network and speak to the public.
  2. Equip the studio with great flooring, the right lighting, and the
    proper height ceilings (so dancers can “lift” one another).
  3. Hire hands-on, people-oriented instructors.
  4. Create solid advertising programs to keep the studio’s name in
    front of the public.
  5. Offer as much as possible under one roof, while maintaining
    high quality.
  6. Hold exceptional, exciting events.
  7. Be a good listener and be open to suggestions from
    instructors and students.
  8. Develop business savvy (including a plan for sustained
    growth and profitability, with built-in flexibility if it doesn’t
    appear to be working).
