Beating Your Competitors
A great product does not necessarily mean you’ll even make enough money with it because your competitors with not-so-great products can sell more of theirs if they use certain marketing strategies that you’re not. We can learn some of the strategies and tactics used by some of the Master Marketers of not-so-great products and apply them to our great products to:1. Beat our competitors to a pulp; or 2. Create an impenetrable barrier for new competitors; or 3. Ensure our survival where competition is fierce; or 4. All of the above.An excellent case in point is Microsoft’s dominant Operating System (OS) software for computers. It started off as MS-DOS over a quarter of a century ago, and eventually became Windows XP today, with the next version called “Vista” on the way.Microsoft’s OS is generally felt to be inferior to Apple’s Operating System in many ways, even to this day - but yet it became and remains the dominant OS, powering over 90% of the world’s computers at this very moment. Over the years, I’ve had my fair share of Microsoft OS crashes, “Illegal Operation” messages, security problems, viruses and so on -

Attracting Jobs to Your State
States are competing for new business much like people bidding at an auction. The state with the lowest cost to the Company is likely to win the bid. Tax breaks, $1 land leases, state assistance, construction costs, availability to skilled labor, and logistics are major concerns for companies. States that solve these problems are likely to win the bid but many states aren’t even in the game.Companies are always looking for the best deal when selecting potential sites for a new plant or headquarters. States long for more business to increase tax revenue, provide needed jobs and continue state growth. The problem is that every other state is doing the same thing so which state will actually win the new company? There are a number of key factors Companies look for when selecting a new site.1.) Availability of Labor: Companies need educated labor to work in their high-tech plants. If the school system is poor and the state is pro-union it is doubtful that a company would willingly select that state for a new location. Uneducated workers and unions cost companies millions of dollars in efficiency a year and few new plants would take that ri

A leather jacket is a waist or thigh length coat made using leather. Leather jackets are made from animal hides and are usually available in dark colors such as black, brown and dark grey.Leather jackets may be worn either for protection or to make a fashion statement. There is a substantial difference between the two types. Jackets designed for fashion purposes may just provide warmth and not safety.

A fashion leather jacket is not likely to be of much help in the event of an accident.Leather jackets are not necessarily meant only for special occasion wear; they can stand up to the rigors of everyday life, as well as serve as evening wear.

For instance, leather jackets have often been associated with bikers, pilots, punks and police officers.Leather fashion has been around for a long time and is acceptably appropriate for every time
