Custom Printed Tshirts.
Put your Advertising Message on Company Clothing.

Do you remember years ago seeing old pictures of the man walking up and down the street wearing a human billboard, it is called a sandwich board in the advertising world.

I doubt that you could get one of your own employees to wear a sandwich board and walk around all day - especially if it's hot or raining.

But there is another way.A really good way of promoting your company is by providing all your staff with a shirt, jacket or cap with your company name and logo on it.Your staff benefits by having the clothing free of charge, and you can probably supply it to them tax free (check with your accountant).

Your staff will then be easily identified by your customers and the public and this will project a much more professional image.

You never know where your new business is coming from.

A few years ago you would pay a fortune in set up fees and no one would talk to you if you were not about to order hundreds of garments. Due to advances in technology and printing processes it is now possible to have a logo and/or company name or slogan on a garment at very reasonable prices.

Even single garments are now possible and easily affordable.

There are two ways that you can put your logo onto a garment. One is to use a screen printing process to put your image onto the garment.

The other is to have your logo stitched or embroidered onto the garment .Both processes have their own advantages.The Printing / Screen PrintThe advantages of this process are that this can normally be done in house with a shorter learning curve. All you do is burn a screen, set up your machine, load the tshirts on, print them, run it through a dryer, then pack and ship.

The disadvantage of the printing process is that the colors can fade after a couple of years. Often the printed image can make the garment feel a little stiff.

Embroidery. The advantages of using embroidery is that you get a much better finish on most items, especially heavier items such as fleeces, as the logo is actually sewn into the garment. As both the embroidery and the garment are of similar material they will both last about the same length of time.

With embroidery you do not have any problems with the embroidery fading - in fact it should be almost as good as new even after the garment itself is well past its best.Most of the time we put company name, city, state and phone number as there is no set up charge, unless you put a picture and then it would need to be digitized.If you need any screen printing or embroidered work done we can do it for you

T-shirt history

2006-09-12T18:26:00.000-07:00

T-shirt history

An example of a tie-dye T-shirt The idea of the T-shirt came to the

USA during WWI when US soldiers noticed the light cotton

undershirts European soldiers were using while the US soldiers

sweated in their wool uniforms. Since they were so much more

comfortable they quickly became popular among the Americans, and

because of their design they got the name T-shirt. During WWII the

T-shirt had become standard issue underwear in both the U.S. Army

and Navy. Although the T-shirt was formally underwear, soldiers

often used it without a shirt covering it while doing heavy labor or

while stationed in locations with a hot climate. As a result, the public

was frequently exposed to pictures of members of the armed forces

wearing pants and a T-shirt. As an example, the cover of the July

13, 1942 issue of Life magazine, features a picture of a soldier

wearing a T-shirt with the text "Air Corps Gunnery School" [1].

After WWII the T-shirt started appearing without a shirt covering it

in civilian life. According to the New York Times, the 1948

presidential campaign of Thomas E. Dewey produced a "Dew It for

Dewey" T-shirt, which was followed in 1952 by "I Like Ike" T-shirts in

support of Dwight D. Eisenhower. John Wayne, Marlon Brando and

James Dean all wore them on national TV. At first the public was

shocked, but by 1955 it had become acceptable. The T-shirt became

cool when James Dean wore it in the film Rebel Without a Cause.

T-shirts can do a lot for your company

2006-09-11T19:10:00.000-07:00

Ft Worth Tx Home of 1stoptshirt has been going through a heat wave and its only August. But that doesn't
bother me said Charles Wheeler, owner of 1 Stop Tshirt Printing Company. "The heat has puts t-shirts
on the minds of my twenty-five hundred customers," says Charles. "Seventy percent of my business
comes during the warm months." His company used the 'off-season' to move to purchase a larger facility
and upgrade to more improved printing equipment and software.

Summer is when we get all the orders for baseball and softball leagues. There's also quite a call for reunion,
church groups, summer camps, and other summer activity groups," he says. Statistics seem to back me up.
A recent survey showed that the average American owns 7.2 printed t-shirts, and an episode of the
Simpsons included an alien that referred to Earth as 'that t-shirt producing planet. We also get alot of hat
and cap orders in the summer.

If all my business happens during the summer, what happens in the winter? "I print a lot of camo caps and
sweatshirts and Jackets. Most of my fraternity and sorority demand is during that time football is a big part
of it. I print shirts for all markets, like Florida, North and South Carolina that don't have a Winter, per se."

Some companies don't care about smaller orders, but I built my business on the fact that I've never lost a
customer, and those smaller runs may turn into huge orders in a few years. I like keeping my costs up front
and simple to understand. No setup fee We Print front and back no charge

Internet business is also picking up. At our site, http://www.1stoptshirt.com , we are getting a lot more
business than last year, a lot of logos from clients via e-mail or you can design your logo online our full time
art dept can turn a clients idea into a t-shirt with minimal time, keeping costs low and customers happy.

A good t-shirt can do a lot for your company. The person you give the shirt to will be greatly impacted by
your message. They'll feel a true connection to your company. They will become a valuable spokesperson
willing to endorse your company to anyone that asks.

Their immediate friends and family will be inundated with ad impressions every day the t-shirt is worn.
Inquiries and curiosities will be answered by the t-shirt wearer - a true believer, an unpaid salesperson for
your company. In addition, hundreds, and even thousands of people, will be exposed to your ad during the
normal course of the day when your company sponsor is proudly wearing your t-shirt.

And, talk about added value! The way you give away your t-shirts can be very creative and make your new
sponsor feel great about getting the t-shirts. Using contests, drawings or as gifts of appreciation, these are
just a few ways to use the t-shirts to your advantage by making your new sponsor feel good about being
chosen to receive a free t-shirt.

Good T-Shirts can last years, even a decade or two in some cases. Your investment in this type of advertising
does not expire when your visitor clicks away from your site to surf others. It lasts for years and affects many
people intimately. It's a great advertising medium.

Why You Need An Autoresponder

2006-09-10T10:19:00.000-07:00

Why You Need An Autoresponder

Charles Wheeler here

If you've reached the point of exhaustion trying to keep up
with answering the mountain of emails that threatens to
bury you alive every single day, you're ready to learn
about autoresponders.

The bad news is that people expect prompt replies to their
email inquiries. However, unless you can figure out how to
work continual twenty-four hour shifts, I can't or hire enough
people to constantly monitor incoming emails (while they're
eating up your revenue), you have a problem. The good news
is an autoresponder is an inexpensive - or even free -
method of quickly responding to emails. What these programs
do is automatically respond to incoming emails as soon as
they are received.

Emails are essential to your business for many different
reasons. Most importantly, these invisible email voices
give you their feedback about your website - for free!
However, if you spend all your working hours answering
these emails, how are you supposed to run your business?
The answer is simple: use autoresponders. Autoresponders
are programs that automatically respond to your emails
without you so much as having to click on your mouse.

There are a number of good reasons why you need an
autoresponder besides just answering your email. For
example, autoresponders can be used if you need a way to
send information about your services or products, price
lists, or if there are repeated questions asked across
large numbers of emails. Maybe you want to offer your site
visitors a special bonus of some kind, such as advice or
relevant articles. All of this can be handled by an
autoresponder. Additionally, you can advertise your
business and then build stable relationships with your
customers by using autoresponders.

Autoresponder programs vary from software that runs with
your email program to a specialized script that runs on
your web hosting company's server. This kind of script may
use a web page form or simply operate with your email
account. This kind of script is programmed to send out a
standardized message whenever an email is received. The
message is sent to a particular script or email address.

Some autoresponders can do more than simply send out
standardized messages. They can send out an unlimited
number of follow-up messages sent at predetermined interval
of time. For example, you can set your autoresponder to
send out a new message every day for as long a period as
you desire.

There are numerous companies who offer autoresponders free
of charge. Your website hosting company often provides
autoresponders as a free service. If this is not the case
with your web hosting company, there are numerous companies
who offer this service for a small fee, or free of charge,
providing you attach an advertisement for their company to
your emails.

To personalize your autoresponder messages, you can attach
a signature. Signatures in this case are much like business
cards. You can include your name, company, all your contact
numbers and addresses, and a brief message.

It's a good idea to attach a signature to every email that
is sent out.

This works as a repeated reminder of your
business identity every time a customer sees it. The more
they look at your signature, the more likely your company
will spring to mind when your particular service or product
is needed.

You can create a standardized signature that every employee
in your business uses, or you can go wild, and let every
staff member create their own personal signature. Of
course, like everything in life, there are some rules and
guidelines to creating a personal signature.

Keep the length of your signature between four to six lines
of text, with no more than 70 characters in a single line.
Make sure that your email program does not cut off your
text! The content should include your name, your company
name, your email address, fax number, and any other contact
details, such as 800 numbers. Lastly, always include a
P.S. a short personal message about your company. It should be a
subtle sell of your services or your products, and possibly
your company's reliability and longevity.

Another specialized use of autoresponders is to create
courses that you can then offer your site visitors for
free. You must choose a topic in which you are an expert
and that precisely targets your potential customers.

Once you have carefully chosen your subject, divide it into
a number of different sub-topics. Then offer your site
visitor a free 10 or 15 day course, each day offering a
different sub-topic. The first topic should always be a
welcome message to your site visitor and an explanation
about what is to follow. Your explanation should be
enticing, getting the point across that you are offering
free, quality information that your target audience will
find of great value.

With every lesson, include the number of the lesson, the
topic title, information about your company and its
services or products. At the end, include a few blurbs
about the next lesson to entice the subscriber to continue
on.

Make sure each topic is packed with essential and valuable
information, and leaves the visitor lusting to know more.
Otherwise, you may lose them in the very beginning.

Of course, you have to write up your course before you can
offer it. Once you have done this, and gone over the
material carefully, employing a professional writer or
editor if necessary, you must transfer your text to your
autoresponder.

There are a number of free autoresponders you can use. Try
http:/www.getresponse.com, or http://www.fastfacts.net.
I use http://www.aweber.com/?214398 Or you can
go onto Google and you will find a long list of free
autoresponder companies. Then sign-up for your chosen
autoresponder. Once you do, you will receive instructions
as to how to set it up and transfer your text.

Email is an excellent marketing tool; it is inexpensive and
it is fast. Use it to advertise your business by choosing
your email address carefully. Your website should contain
different email addresses for different contact requests.
For example, use info@yourdomain.com for information
requests, or sales@yourdomain.com for questions about
sales. It's a good idea to set up one for the owner, such
as president@yourdomain.com. This presents your company in
a personal, approachable light and insures that direct
contact is provided.

Autoresponders are an effective and powerful marketing
tool, allowing you to make contact with thousands of
potential customers. This is an invaluable asset
considering how many potential customers you usually have
contact with before you make an actual sale. Essentially,
an autoresponser allows you to automate part of your
marketing campaign.

How to Say "No"

2006-09-08T20:03:00.000-07:00

Howdy

I hope your having a terrific week!

I have discovered another powerful article on Advertising and Marketing for you,

How to Say "No"
by: Steve Kaye

We all wish we could say "yes" to everybody and everything. And yet sometimes we have to say "no."

Here's how to say "no" with class and respect.

Be Courageous

Some people feel afraid to say "no." They may either expect a hostile reaction or they want to be helpful.
As a result, they end up inconveniencing both themselves and other people.

Recognize that it is okay to say "no." In fact, most people would rather receive a solid "NO" than an
insincere "yes."

Decline Early

You will save time, energy, and stress by declining offers as soon as you realize that you do not want them.
Unanswered questions follow us like hungry orphans, crying for our attention. And our stress increases as
their numbers grow. Rescue yourself from this dilemma by making choices. Of course, agree if that is what
you want. Otherwise, decline. This frees you to move on with other choices and it frees your mind to
consider other possibilities.

Take an Active Role

Some people attempt to say "no" by ignoring the other person. While this may be an acceptable way to deal
with junk mail and cold calls, it is a terrible strategy where you know the other person. This includes situations
where you have asked someone to do something, such as send information, prepare a proposal, or call you back.

This strategy fails for the following reasons.

1) The other person has no way of knowing what you are doing. At first, the other person may assume that
you are unable to reply because you are traveling, recovering from surgery, or using a defective message
system. Eventually, they conclude that you are being rude.

2) Ignoring someone is both mean and unprofessional. It hurts the other person. And that creates feelings
of resentment toward you and your company. Remember that those pesky salespeople can also be your
customers or able to influence customers.

3) This wastes your time and energy. You (or your staff) have to delete messages, toss out mail, and shove
aside the other person's attempts to reach you.

4) You suffer, too. Each time you delete a message, your conscience reminds you that you are doing the
wrong thing. And that creates stress.

Take charge of the situation and tell the person "no." For example, you can say, "I'm calling to tell you that
I have no interest in your offer. Please remove my name from your list. Thank you."

If you want to avoid talking to the person, call when you expect the person will be away from the phone
(e.g., during lunch, late evening, early morning, or on a weekend) and leave a message. Use the reply
above.

Otherwise, you can send e-mail, a fax, or a note by regular mail.

In all cases, keep the message brief, avoiding explanations or apologies. Just say "no" and move on.

The key point is that once you start a dialogue, you are obligated to end it, rather than let it starve by
neglect.

Use the Magic Phrase

Sometimes the other person wants to argue with you. Perhaps the caller is uncommonly persistent in
demanding an explanation. Or maybe you want a gentle way to decline a request from a good friend.
In these cases, use the magic phrase that ends the discussion. It is: "I wish I could."

The complete reply includes 1) an acknowledgment of the offer, 2) the magic phrase, and 3) a request
or an alternative possibility.

Here's an example of how this might work in a sales situation. "I understand that you want me to buy
your new gizmo. I wish I could. Please take my name off of your list."

And if the caller asks for an explanation, say, "As I said, I wish I could buy this. I have no need for
(or no interest in) a gizmo. Please take my name off of your list."

And if the caller persists, say, "I said I have no need for this. You will make better use of your time
if you call someone else."

You can also use this in personal situations. For example, you could say, "I understand you want
me to take care of your six children and five dogs next week while you go on a vacation. I wish
I could. Perhaps you can take the children with you and put the dogs in a kennel."

And if they reply with, "We can't take the children with us. That's why we're asking you to take
them." You can say, "I wish I could. Maybe someone else can help."

And if they persist, say, "I understand what you want. And I wish I could help. Excuse me, I have
to go now."

An Added Thought

Some people will push very hard to get what they want. They will use insults, guilt, and threats.
Wave all of these gimmicks away with replies like these:

"I am still unable to accept your offer."

"Let's leave this on a positive note. I wish I could help. Thank you for asking."

"That sounds like an insult. I said that I have no need for this. Goodbye."

"I find that offensive."

"I disagree with that."

You may notice that all of these are polite replies to being attacked. I recommend being polite
because you always want to be the most mature person in every a conversation. That way,
you won't have to call back with an apology.

Notice that rejection involves treating the other person with respect and dignity. Tell people
"no" early and politely. And then move on.

Contractors...Double Your Income

2005-11-14T05:35:00.000-08:00

Just dropping by to share another tip! Hope you are doing well!

Saw this article, and thought it’d be fun to share with you this week!

Contractors...Double Your Income
by: Pam Newman

5 Simple Ways to Double Your Income Immediately

So you think that you are just like your competition? Well, then it is time to differentiate yourself.
As a contractor, you probably use the same types of materials as your competitors do…so how
can you differentiate yourself? Service! Build it better and serve your clients better. You will
come out on top. This may seem so simple, yet very few contractors really do things better
than their competitors.

So what are 5 simple ways that can double your income? Here they are…

1. Use only high quality subcontractors. It costs you less in time and rework costs to use quality
subcontractors the first time. You may think you are going to save a few dollars by hiring the
cheapest one, but in the end we all know it doesn’t work out that way. We pay for what we get.
What’s quality service and product worth to your reputation? Priceless!

2. Implement a service mentality. Everything you do is for the benefit of your homebuyers. Don’t
keep it to yourself…tell everyone you know about the way you build your houses and the benefits
that you provide to your homebuyers.

a. Don’t think there are benefits?? Think again…everything that you do in the construction of
your homes can be portrayed as a benefit to your homebuyers. All it takes is a little creative
communication.

3. Offer a referral program. People buy from people they know. How do you incentivize your
homeowners to tell others? The first way is to build an awesome house and that will speak
for itself…but add some icing to that cake by rewarding your homebuyers for their efforts
to grow your business. It can be simple things like gift certificates, lawn services for a month,
extended warranties, or other motivational offerings. It’s cheaper to reward your customers
for promoting you than advertising to the general public!

4. Market your business consistently. Everyone expects you to have a website…so don’t let
them down. You can have a GREAT website designed and hosted for a nominal amount that
will bring great returns to you on recognition and sales within your community. Show the
quality that you build into your homes and stress the benefits to your potential buyers in
the most cost-effective medium available, the World Wide Web.

5. Network, Network, Network! Don’t keep your great offerings to yourself. Get out there
and build relationships with those who can promote your homes! You can’t be everything
to your business. So look at those you do business with (vendors, subcontractors, real
estate professionals, etc) and see how you can build referral networks. This is the best
way to cost-effectively cross-promote your businesses. Plus people trust referrals from
others higher than self-promotion, so it is a win-win opportunity.

The returns that your business will get on these 5 tips will more than double your income
if implemented correctly. You can’t sit back and hope that your business grows. You’ve
got to make it happen! Success happens because of a well-constructed plan…not by
chance. It’s a choice…you choose to make it happen, or not. What’s your choice? Go
out and double your income now!

Printing - How Do I Buy It?

2005-11-12T09:30:00.000-08:00

Well, hello there

How's your week going? I hope the answer is "wonderful"!

Charles here – ready to share a really great Advertising and Marketing article with you!

Printing - How Do I Buy It?
by: Steven Schneidman

Why should I care where I get my printed material from, I'll just go for tenders and go with the low bidder.
If you do this probably you won't be in business for long or you'll never really run a successful business.
My company, Solutions Ink started from the premise that I don't just sell printed products but rather I
help businesses grow and prosper. Being in the business for over 20 years I've seen how the industry and
the market have changed. Gone are the days you could charge what you want and deliver any quality
good's. With global competition so great, the product must be perfect and your price must be competitive
just for you to survive. That being said what should I look for in a printing company. First you should explain
what you do and how you do it,to your printer. It is his job with his expertise to decide what product he
should offer you. Today there are offset presses, digital presses, web presses and each one is appropriate
for a different type of job.

Digital presses today have greatly improved their quality and are great for short runs (under 1000 quantity),
variable data (inserting names into each letter), large format small quantity jobs (point of purchases, banners,
posters, small direct mail jobs). Turnaround is key and digital jobs usually can be done in days if not hours.

Offset presses are good for jobs of greater than 1000 t'ill about 100,000 or if the absolute quality is essential
for the job (brochures, fashion catalogues, price lists, letterheads, business cards, envelopes). These type
of jobs usually takes days or a week or two, depending on the complexity of the job.

Web presses are great for large runs of magazines, newspaper flyers or large run business forms.

Suggestions by your printer should help your business grow. He should help in deciding paper stocks, colors,
finishings and offer you different price options. New technology can save company's great amounts of time
by offering e-commerce ordering and proofing systems. New technology allows form/card combinations,
form/label combinations and form/magnet combinations. These reduce the need to print 2 pieces. This can
also cut your mailing costs. The idea is for your printer to help you market your business so that you can
become more successful. Penny pinching on costs can be short sighted. For true long term growth you have
to work in partnership with your printer so that both of you benefit. If you have only one winner, chances
are you'll be searching out a new partner pretty soon.

If you need any help deciding what you should do for your next printing job drop me an email at
steve@solutionsink4u.com or visit my website at www.solutionink4u.com.

Sometimes we have to say "no."

I hope your having a terrific week!

I have discovered another powerful article on Advertising and Marketing for you

How to Say "No"
by: Steve Kaye

We all wish we could say "yes" to everybody and everything. And yet sometimes we have to say "no."

Here's how to say "no" with class and respect.

Be Courageous

Some people feel afraid to say "no." They may either expect a hostile reaction or they want to be helpful.
As a result, they end up inconveniencing both themselves and other people.

Recognize that it is okay to say "no." In fact, most people would rather receive a solid "NO" than an
insincere "yes."

Decline Early

You will save time, energy, and stress by declining offers as soon as you realize that you do not want them.
Unanswered questions follow us like hungry orphans, crying for our attention. And our stress increases as
their numbers grow. Rescue yourself from this dilemma by making choices. Of course, agree if that is what
you want. Otherwise, decline. This frees you to move on with other choices and it frees your mind to
consider other possibilities.

Take an Active Role

Some people attempt to say "no" by ignoring the other person. While this may be an acceptable way to deal
with junk mail and cold calls, it is a terrible strategy where you know the other person. This includes situations
where you have asked someone to do something, such as send information, prepare a proposal, or call you back.

This strategy fails for the following reasons.

1) The other person has no way of knowing what you are doing. At first, the other person may assume that
you are unable to reply because you are traveling, recovering from surgery, or using a defective message
system. Eventually, they conclude that you are being rude.

2) Ignoring someone is both mean and unprofessional. It hurts the other person. And that creates feelings
of resentment toward you and your company. Remember that those pesky salespeople can also be your
customers or able to influence customers.

3) This wastes your time and energy. You (or your staff) have to delete messages, toss out mail, and shove
aside the other person's attempts to reach you.

4) You suffer, too. Each time you delete a message, your conscience reminds you that you are doing the
wrong thing. And that creates stress.

Take charge of the situation and tell the person "no." For example, you can say, "I'm calling to tell you that
I have no interest in your offer. Please remove my name from your list. Thank you."

If you want to avoid talking to the person, call when you expect the person will be away from the phone
(e.g., during lunch, late evening, early morning, or on a weekend) and leave a message. Use the reply
above.

Otherwise, you can send e-mail, a fax, or a note by regular mail.

In all cases, keep the message brief, avoiding explanations or apologies. Just say "no" and move on.

The key point is that once you start a dialogue, you are obligated to end it, rather than let it starve by
neglect.

Use the Magic Phrase

Sometimes the other person wants to argue with you. Perhaps the caller is uncommonly persistent in
demanding an explanation. Or maybe you want a gentle way to decline a request from a good friend.
In these cases, use the magic phrase that ends the discussion. It is: "I wish I could."

The complete reply includes 1) an acknowledgment of the offer, 2) the magic phrase, and 3) a request
or an alternative possibility.

Here's an example of how this might work in a sales situation. "I understand that you want me to buy
your new gizmo. I wish I could. Please take my name off of your list."

And if the caller asks for an explanation, say, "As I said, I wish I could buy this. I have no need for
(or no interest in) a gizmo. Please take my name off of your list."

And if the caller persists, say, "I said I have no need for this. You will make better use of your time
if you call someone else."

You can also use this in personal situations. For example, you could say, "I understand you want
me to take care of your six children and five dogs next week while you go on a vacation. I wish
I could. Perhaps you can take the children with you and put the dogs in a kennel."

And if they reply with, "We can't take the children with us. That's why we're asking you to take
them." You can say, "I wish I could. Maybe someone else can help."

And if they persist, say, "I understand what you want. And I wish I could help. Excuse me, I have
to go now."

An Added Thought

Some people will push very hard to get what they want. They will use insults, guilt, and threats.
Wave all of these gimmicks away with replies like these:

"I am still unable to accept your offer."

"Let's leave this on a positive note. I wish I could help. Thank you for asking."

"That sounds like an insult. I said that I have no need for this. Goodbye."

"I find that offensive."

"I disagree with that."

You may notice that all of these are polite replies to being attacked. I recommend being polite
because you always want to be the most mature person in every a conversation. That way,
you won't have to call back with an apology.

Notice that rejection involves treating the other person with respect and dignity. Tell people
"no" early and politely. And then move on.

Get Great Talent for Less Money

Just dropping by to share another tip! Hope you are doing well!

Welcome back to another Advertising and Marketing tip!

5 Tips to Get Great Talent for Less Money

Consider immigrants. Many are talented people who will accept less pay because they
don’t speak English. (But pay them fairly!)

Keep an eye out for displaced “Mommy Trackers”—smart women who’ve left corporate
executive positions to start a family or be closer to their children. They can make
excellent part-time executives.

Investigate employee-leasing and temporary-help services.

Offer internships and part-time challenges to graduate students and upper-level
undergrads. They want to get experience and can bring excellent knowledge and
skills.

Get referrals from employees—and don’t be afraid to hire relatives of good workers.
You can save substantially on recruiting costs this way.

Promoting from within encourages and motivates your greatest assets-your

Double Your Income Immediately

Just dropping by to share another tip! Hope you are doing well!

Saw this article, and thought it’d be fun to share with you this week!

Contractors...Double Your Income
by: Pam Newman

5 Simple Ways to Double Your Income Immediately

So you think that you are just like your competition? Well, then it is time to differentiate yourself.
As a contractor, you probably use the same types of materials as your competitors do…so how
can you differentiate yourself? Service! Build it better and serve your clients better. You will
come out on top. This may seem so simple, yet very few contractors really do things better
than their competitors.

So what are 5 simple ways that can double your income? Here they are…

1. Use only high quality subcontractors. It costs you less in time and rework costs to use quality
subcontractors the first time. You may think you are going to save a few dollars by hiring the
cheapest one, but in the end we all know it doesn’t work out that way. We pay for what we get.
What’s quality service and product worth to your reputation? Priceless!

2. Implement a service mentality. Everything you do is for the benefit of your homebuyers. Don’t
keep it to yourself…tell everyone you know about the way you build your houses and the benefits
that you provide to your homebuyers.

a. Don’t think there are benefits?? Think again…everything that you do in the construction of
your homes can be portrayed as a benefit to your homebuyers. All it takes is a little creative
communication.

3. Offer a referral program. People buy from people they know. How do you incentivize your
homeowners to tell others? The first way is to build an awesome house and that will speak
for itself…but add some icing to that cake by rewarding your homebuyers for their efforts
to grow your business. It can be simple things like gift certificates, lawn services for a month,
extended warranties, or other motivational offerings. It’s cheaper to reward your customers
for promoting you than advertising to the general public!

4. Market your business consistently. Everyone expects you to have a website…so don’t let
them down. You can have a GREAT website designed and hosted for a nominal amount that
will bring great returns to you on recognition and sales within your community. Show the
quality that you build into your homes and stress the benefits to your potential buyers in
the most cost-effective medium available, the World Wide Web.

5. Network, Network, Network! Don’t keep your great offerings to yourself. Get out there
and build relationships with those who can promote your homes! You can’t be everything
to your business. So look at those you do business with (vendors, subcontractors, real
estate professionals, etc) and see how you can build referral networks. This is the best
way to cost-effectively cross-promote your businesses. Plus people trust referrals from
others higher than self-promotion, so it is a win-win opportunity.

The returns that your business will get on these 5 tips will more than double your income
if implemented correctly. You can’t sit back and hope that your business grows. You’ve
got to make it happen! Success happens because of a well-constructed plan…not by
chance. It’s a choice…you choose to make it happen, or not. What’s your choice? Go
out and double your income now!

Where to Go to Gain Referrals

2005-09-25T18:26:00.000-07:00

Well, hello there,

Wow! We've been moving a mile a minute around here. I hope you're doing well!

Here’s a five star little tip that I enjoyed!

5 Tips on Where to Go to Gain Referrals

Hold an open house or an in-house job fair. Invite schools, county or state job
developers, and others in the community to attend.

Contact Urban League, Youth Employment Programs and Private Industry Council
in your area. These are wonderful training organizations that offer free placement
assistance.

Go online and search the Internet. Post your openings on free and fee-based
bulletin boards such as Monster.com, Careerpath.com or pdqcareers.com.

Contact local government job banks for free referrals. All states have aggressive
welfare-reform goals and may be a source of employees.

Call the Veterans Administration and Rehabilitation Agency. They can refer some
very capable people.

I hope you have a fantastic day! I'll see you next time!

15 Powerful Ways Day Two

2004-12-06T09:20:00.000-08:00

======================================================
15 Powerful Ways CBmall Makes You Money

Day Two - Saturday, December 6
======================================================
Hello

It's Day Two of our course on the 15 Powerful Ways CBmall makes you money.

Yesterday, we learned the basics of how CBmall works. We discussed how CBmall uses the strengths of ClickBank to accept payments and to pay your commissions.

We also learned how CBmall offers the very best products on the ClickBank MarketPlace.

We didn't spend much time explaining why we put those products on the mall. After all, there are plenty more available. Why not offer them all?

Well, it's simple really. There's are several reasons why these products are the best sellers.

1) They are good products. They got to be top sellers because people like them and buy them.

2) They have sales pages and web sites that convert traffic to sales. These merchants know how to sell their products.

What good does it do you to drive traffic to a lousy web site that can't sell? NONE.

Doesn't even matter if the product is good or not. If the sales page stinks, it won't make you money.

It's just like any store that is constantly striving to carry the best selling products. The rest end up on a clearance rack where they languish at the back of the store.

*** You deserve the hottest selling products because you want to make sales. ***

Note that the search engine looks at EVERY product in the MarketPlace. 100%. The directory displays the Top products only.

Today, we'll talk about some of the resources you get when you grab your own CBmall. Before I forget, here's a link for more info:

Sign up for the FREE E-course 15 Ways your site can make money.

***** CBmall Resources to Make You Money *****

There are a bunch of ways CBmall makes you money. But the key to it all is to drive traffic to your site.

How do you do that? Well if you're an experienced Internet Marketer, you probably already have a few good ideas.

But if you are new to the business, CBmall provides a lot of support in this area.

First, you can buy a CBmall that comes with targeted traffic. Details at:

Sign up for the FREE E-course 15 Ways your site can make money.

Another important feature of CBmall is the affiliate resources section.

Here, you will find pages of information on how to market your CBmall.

***** Terry Dean's CBmall Marketing Tips *****

The most valuable of these is Terry Dean's CBmall Marketing Tips. Terry Dean is one of the foremost experts on internet marketing. Just do a Google search on "Terry Dean" and you'll see his name come up over 21,000 times. That's because his products are everywhere and he has written so many articles that other people publish.

Anyway, Terry was gracious enough to do a one-hour interview with yours truly and share his best marketing ideas for CBmall.

This is good stuff! Terry charges one thousand dollars per hour to consult with clients. You get the benefit of a laser-focused, one hour interview for free with your CBmall.

***** QuickStart Guide to CBmall Profits *****

You also get a manual called the QuickStart Guide to CBmall Profits. That one has even more ideas for tactics you can use to market your mall.

This one-two marketing punch is more information than most other sites will give you in a year. They are especially powerful since both are focused on CBmall - not some generic program.

The affiliate site also includes bonus eBooks on copy writing, eZine advertising, banner ads and artwork, ad copy, and more that you can use.

If you went out and bought all these books, it would cost you an arm and a leg. But it's all included with your CBmall.

***** Personal Marketing Assistance *****

You'll find something else that is truly unusual with CBmall. An actual human to help you with ideas and strategies. Yup. That's me. You see, I think it's important to be available for my customers. So you'll find something in the CBmall affiliate site that you won't find on most other sites out there:

A phone number. 817-987-1161

My phone number. You can use it to call me with any questions about marketing your CBmall.

Here's what some CBmall owners have to say:

======================================================
I've been waiting for some time for the right product to fill a gap in my ClickBank site. CBmall is easily superior to it's rivals - who could also take a lesson from you in providing support. Thanks !

A new easy way to create income streams

2004-12-02T21:23:00.000-08:00

Hello

Charles..here TheBizHelper
I would like to ask you a question.
Are you looking for more streams of income?

I know I'm always on the lookout for a new income streamthat can generate profits without a lot of work.
When I ran across CBmall, I knew I had found a program thathits the nail on the head.
Most affiliate programs have only one way you make money. You send them traffic, and they close the sale (hopefully).

The best of them will add another stream with somefollow-up emails. That's much better.
But CBmall actually has 15 different ways to make you money.
This is one powerful revenue engine.
Sign up for the FREE E-course 15 Ways your site can make money.
And here's the beautiful part. CBmall does virtually all the work. All you need to do is drive some traffic. The mall does the rest.

The CB in CBmall stands for ClickBank. The mall sellsthousands of the top-selling, most popular products on theClickBank network. These are the best of the best. Theygot there because they convert browsers into buyers. Andthey are all available in one place.

You get the power ofthis system by promoting one simple URL. CBmall's automation is amazing:
* No html required - you don't even need a web site*
TONS of support and marketing ideas to help*
They do all the support*
ClickBank handles all the credit card processing*
Newsletters and eCourses that make YOU money from yourtraffic*
Automated income streams all over the place
I could go on, but a better idea is to sign up for an eCourse called: 15 Powerful Ways CBmall Makes You Money.
Sign up for the FREE E-course 15 Ways your site can make money.

This course details the power and sophistication behindCBmall. Understand this, and you'll see why CBmallrepresents a new trend in affiliate programs.

You'll also see some major names in Internet Marketing onthe testimonial page at CBmall.
Terry Dean actually called CBmall, "the perfect secondstream of income". Pretty high praise.

So if you're interested in more profits, check out theCBmall.
I did, and I am loving the extra income it is making me.
Yours,

Get Partial or Full Payments Up-Front

2004-11-20T11:40:00.000-08:00

Get Partial or Full Payments Up-Front

Make it a habit.

If you're a small business owner, consultant, or contractor, it's best to ask for some money up front. Estimate how long a job will take and what it will cost. Draw up a agreement that has all of the information name. address, what you are to do, price of job, with 50% down. Don't forget put 5 or 10% for full payment up front. Sence it is writen the customer will expect to give you
50 percent up front, with the rest payable when you finish the job.

This will keep your income steady and allow you to budget more effectively. Your clients and customers will also be more committed to you if they've already invested in your work. You can also offer credit card payments and installments -- this might speed up the delivery time of your payments.

Save Money for Unexpected Expenses

If you don't set aside or leave room in your budget for some unexpected expenses, you could be in trouble. You need to have a plan for equipment failure, rental increases, supply increases, other unexpected expenses.

If you don't, you could lose hurt your credit by falling behind in paying bills because you're spending money on repairs that you intended to spend on other areas. It's a good idea to keep enough cash reserves to cover 45 to 60 days of ordinary business expenses.

Do you need to display your company name

2004-11-19T06:30:00.000-08:00

Hi, Charles...here, Your Cap and 1stoptshirt guy From Texas. How are you doing today. I have been doing that for the last 18 years. Taking care the needs of my customers and becoming Con fondant and friend.
Now I want to be your friend and take care of you. But first I want to tell you a story.
I want to tell you a story about a customer of mine. Keith lives in Florida he has been a customer of mine for 6 or 7 years. He always get's tshirts for his crew, and has them printed with one print just small over the pocket. I always ask let me print them big on back because you will get more exposure, but he always say's no. On his last order he bought hats. I put two free t-shirts in with his order. He called me one month later. He said ok Charles because of you I need to hire more men. And I will need to double my order to.
He said, Do you know what has happened to me. Last weekend I was gassing my boat up a man said to me do you do landscaping. I said yes, then I realized that I had on the shirt that you gave me yes the one that you printed big on the back. Anyway he said that he had a small apartment complex and was tired of trying to take care of it. He asked if I would come and look at it. I said yes I would. Yep I got the contract on his little apartment, 2 year annual contract on his 90 unite apartment complex. I wanted to call and say that I wouldn't have gotten that contract without that t-shirt you printed big on the back. Print them all bob from now on.
Yes, this is what 1stoptshirtcan do for you.
