Furnishing Modern Organisations: Chairs
With a little bit of knowledge, you will achieve a far better, lasting solution to seating; and save money.1. Comfort: Ideally, ergonomically shaped seats and backs provide the best comfort over a long sitting. Beware of thick upholstery; it may appear attractive but is often of a very cheap grade that is prone to premature degradation. Thin, dense foams offer greater comfort over time, and will last far longer.2. Storage: For large installations, storage should be a key consideration. If you have limited storage space, perhaps you require folding or stacking chairs. Should you have room for stacking chairs, these are usually more comfortable and durable. Of all the folding chairs available, there are only about five models that are really any

Help! My Boomers Are Retiring!
Next time you've got a bunch of senior managers in a room together, ask those who are eligible to retire within five years to leave the room. Then figure out how you're going to replace them.That's an exercise I've done with senior management in a client company. A full third of the senior people in that room were eligible to take their pension and go within five years.This is not just a problem in the executive suite. Check out the senior people in sales. Check out the team leaders for key craft functions, the people who usually came up through union apprentice programs.There are several definitions of the Baby Boom and they all vary a little. But you're safe if you assume that it's people born between 1946 and 1964. In America, that's

Through June our newsletter will help you look at the various components of an integrated marketing plan. In the last issue, we shared some thoughts on your visual identity -- how it involves more than just your logo and some different ways you can use the concept of visual identity to grow your brand. In this issue, we’ll share the basics of advertising and make some recommendations about things you should consider when making decisions about advertising.

Many people use the terms advertising and marketing interchangeably, but they don’t mean the same thing.

Marketing refers to everything a business does to promote itself in the marketplace, and to create or strengthen its reputation in the minds of consumers.

Advertising is just one method or strategy in an integrated marketing plan. While it’s important to communicate a consistent message to consumers through the various pieces of your integrated marketing plan, advertising typically is very time sensitive and very specific in the message that’s being delivered. Two clear examples of advertising are an ad in the phone book (promoting a solution to an immediate need or problem) and a newspaper circular for a department store’s weekend sale (also promoting a solution to an immediate need or problem).

Advertising Risk - Social Proof Overpowers Authority
The other day I was out for a mountain bike ride in a nearby wilderness area. As I neared the woods, I noticed a police SUV stopped by two bikers. It looked like the police were talking to them about something, then the car took off down a trail in the direction of a dense part of the forest. When I reached the bikers that had been stopped by the police car, they flagged me down and told me that a bear had been spotted in the area. The police asked them advertise the presence of the bear to other bikers.The couple seemed a bit excited. They explained that they were new to the area and asked if bear sightings were common. I told them that I had been riding in the area for fifteen years and had only seen bear twice. I thought this would reassure them that be

Here are a few basic questions we would ask before designing an ad:

Who are you trying to reach with this ad and is this the best way to reach them? Different market segments prefer different ethods of getting information, so the best way to reach one won’t be the best way to reach another. For example, if your target market is young people in Generation Y, a newspaper ad is not the best way to reach them since, as a group, they generally don’t read the newspaper.

Who exactly is your target market and what are their demographics and psychographics?Demographics are basics like gender, geography, age, ethnicity, and income. Psychographics are how they think, behave, and make choices. For example, some segments are driven to select some products or services by price and other products or services by emotional issues such as exclusiveness.

All advertising should be tracked to see if you’re accomplishing your objectives. It may be worthwhile to run the same basic ad with a few minor changes (in ABC newspaper using one headline and in XYZ newspaper using a different headline). Develop a way to track responses and see which one gets better results. Unfortunately, advertising isn’t an exact science.

Any advertisement should accomplish four things:
Gain ATTENTION
Generate INTEREST
Promote DESIRE
Drive ACTIO
