Here’s a line from Law and Order, Criminal Intent that every marketer should memorize. DA Arthur Branch, about to sign an arrest warrant for a judge in a high-profile case: “It’s not enough to do good; you gotta be seen doing good.”And that’s the essence of signaling criteria.In his classic Competitive Advantage Michael Porter mentions two types of buyer criteria:use criteria = what the product does for the buyersignaling criteria = how the buyer thinks or feels about what the product does for the buyerMany marketers think their job ends at providing effective signaling criteria. We say: “Hey, I’ve told a great story, I’ve produced a super TV spot, my click-through rates are fan

Trade Show Videos Need to be Planned
A few months ago, we attended the recent Austech 2005 Expo. It was a large trade show that showcased over 500 manufacturers selling machines, equipment and systems.The good news was that around 40% of the exhibitors had a trade show video running. It was inspiring that many exhibitors understood the power of video to quickly convey how their products work. Made us feel warm and fuzzy inside.The bad news was that most of the videos were absolutely appalling.Why so appalling you ask? Some were bad because they had no idea of the power of production values in giving the right impression to their target market. Others had no strategy whatsoever.You need a trade show video strategyA lot of companies believe that playing their

An Entrepreneur's Solution to Getting Reliable Outsourced Content
Unless you’re new to the whole online universe, everyone who runs an online business knows that content is king. The more content an entrepreneur can conjure up, the further they will excel in working towards being a top ranked website amongst the major search engines. The problem is, in order to be a true ‘high-roller’ online, you need lots and lots of unique, non-duplicated content.To any entrepreneur, this can be a nightmare creating a mass bulk of original articles relating to their target market. Not to mention that other core duties get in the way of trying to operate a successful online business.

Just What Kind of PR Matters to You?
Parties, videos, booklets and column plugs?Or public relations that does something positive and directly about those important outside audiences of yours whose behaviors most affect your operation?How happy are you -- as a business, non-profit or association manager -- when you see your PR folks futzing around with special events, brochures, press releases and TV talk show mentions?Especially at a time when you probably need to create the kind of key stakeholder behavior change that leads directly to achieving your managerial objectives?What it comes down to is this: are you simply looking for publicity, or do you want public relations that really CAN change individual perception and lead to equally changed stakehol

CEOs or Presidents, who attain positions of power, reach these positions for a variety of reasons. The reasons are not always a result of competency and hard work; these positions are not always earned. As a result employees find themselves under the rule of various kinds of leaders. Even those leaders that have earned their position can be impossible to work for and it’s difficult to be happy and satisfied doing it. Presidents and CEOs are typically seen as sources of motivation and direction. But what's often overlooked is the fact that they not only motivate their management team but they receive motivation and even direction based on the responses from the employees below them.

Pharmaceuticals contract manufacturing offers support for the design and manufacture of pharmaceuticals. Contract manufacturers usually produce high quality and highly secure pharmaceuticals at low prices. Most of the contract manufacturers help their customers in the production, finance, marketing, distribution and program management of pharmaceuticals. Many pharmaceutical companies seek the help of contract manufacturers to produce a product economically, within a time period. Contract manufacturers often work together with these companies to create the best possible products.

I read earlier this year that the Palestinian Prime Minister had received support from militants to give up their weapons in exchange for government jobs. On face value it struck me as a stark example of the difference between a person’s interest and position. The position of the “militants” is well publicised, their interests however, appear to be more personal. Job security providing an income to support their families is closer to their interest.
