Introduction We’ve all seen the media frenzy over the banking fiasco, the so named credit crunch and redundancies as companies panic. In talking with clients and customers it’s becoming quite clear that there is a need for business as usual. Products still need to be made, distributed and sold and services commissioned.

The car industry has seen a massive down turn in sales but just watch any commercial TV station, have the ads disappeared, no, has your favourite newspaper or magazine disappeared from the shelves, the answer is probably no.

In our experience there is much business out there and buyers want to deal with positive and enthusiastic people. Cutting back on marketing budgets is not good for your business and the wider economy. Keeping your company in the public eye is paramount. Adopting hermit strategies and falling back on old campaigns and images only dates your identity and makes you less visible. Just take a look near Christmas time, at a certain men’s aftershave featuring a man and the ocean. It’s been recycled for the last ten years as I can remember.

Ask you self this question; Who would you rather do business with, a positive, enthusiastic company that seeks the opportunities or one with its head buried in the sand crying credit crunch?

Recycling is the buzz word of this decade but not when it comes to marketing and PR, your brand image or customer communications, these need to stay fresh and up to date. The same applies internally with your employees, keeping them motivated with a positive outlook reflects in how they deal with customers. People buy from people and they come back to happy helpful people.

So before you all reach for the sick bucket or discard this as pure puff, remember it’s about being realistic but on the optimistic side of the fence.

The Detail behind It So lets take a few of the messages raised in the introduction and look at these in more detail.

Media Frenzy We see this increasingly over something that could be described as trivial. Just look at the pandemic swine flu story, breaking it back to the real world, a girl went on holiday and came back with a bit of a runny nose!

Within a matter of hours of media interest in a story you can be the biggest thing from Boston to Budapest, all caught high def, colour corrected, computer enhanced. But what many articles lack, is depth and realism, it’s easy to whip up a panic or over reaction to an event, it’s harder to take a balanced view and report the facts, why, because that takes time, creativity, but is less interesting and doesn’t sell newspapers or generate viewer ratings and we site page views.

The media can be your friend or you foe - it all depends on if it’s a slow news day and what side of bed they got out of!

Take the banking fiasco as already mentioned, if this had been reported more neutrally then less banks, local authorities, businesses and home owners would have lost out . Fewer jobs would have been lost as less panic and knee jerk reactions created as companies laid off thousands of staff amid a banking freeze on loans and credit. All of which were perfectly acceptable the day before!

The media has a great influence upon an organisation’s marketing communications and that can affect share prices and stock values as well as the wider economy. As they say in the City buy on fact sell on rumour!

Layoffs and Panic Leading to Motivated Staff?

Well that would be great wouldn’t it? Well taking into account what has been said so far, lets take a look at two options , the panic company and the realistic company.

The Panic Company

Reacts to the media and lays off all un-required staff - well un-required in their opinion, so they remove the temps, operations and marketing all seen as an unnecessary balance sheet item. Sounds good to a Financial Director. Wrong. Now you have no market presence, no new campaigns and no new customers and because you sacked operations, no one to do the work!

The Realistic Company

This company looks at its sales, balance sheet and order book. Gathers its staff and makes a statement - no layoffs if we can maintain our current position. What the directors say no growth, what about my bonus! Well they are just that, bonuses not guarantees. This is where maintaining a market presence and sales in a recession should be considered as growth! Alien concept - no it shouldn’t be because your company is not going backwards like everyone else’s. With other companies cutting back and you maintaining presence and sales you gain market share - just by doing the same thing you did last week with the same team of people.

This company then communicates with its employees and motivates them to look for opportunities, the ways to maintain sales, retain customers and to seek the sales and to deliver the service. Other companies will not, because they are panicking, laying off staff and failing to deliver on service. Their staff will be distracted, worrying about redundancy and are unfocused on the job, that or they just will not care.

Strategy

Hermit strategies leading to budget cut backs again are based on knee jerk reactions to a change in market conditions. Companies need to start being led by marketing and market conditions, not by accountants that only have historic information to base decisions upon. Sets of management accounts don’t show market opportunities and don’t motivate staff to go that bit further to look after an existing customer.

Now is the time to make use of the panic and cut backs your competitors are making and to raise your presence in the market place. Crawling under a rock and hoping it’ll get better just means people lose interest in you. Your competitors are concentrating on something else, now is the time to make a move. There is also another key opportunity, a market full of skilled people looking for work - you could gain some key assets, a time to change out some dull pennies and gain a shiny new 5p!

Marketing

A company loosing it market visibility is a real problem, we look at how this happens. Being a marketing consultant means that this can be summed up in two ways, less Marketing and PR and less customer communication.

Employees still read newspapers and magazines; it’s one of the last cut backs they make, their favourite read. This is where a well thought out PR strategy can work and it’s cheaper than display advertising and if you can do it in house - it’s essentially free.

Businesses still visit websites - so keep them up to date with fresh content and images. Find information that your customers would need or be interested in.

Direct Mail has for a long time fallen from favour , due to the low response rates. How does 98% wastage sound when you try and justify the cost? Well targeted small campaigns can give 12 - 20% response in my experience. Some of this has transferred online but as the public have got fed up with Junk Mail, so too have they started to shy away from an over full Inbox. Opt-in newsletters are one way to build both customer and prospective customer awareness of your company .

There are of course other techniques like sponsorship but measuring the response and attributing it to direct sales becomes more difficult. Exhibitions and trade shows used to do well, but with more sellers selling to you and less footfall from the buyers, picking the right event is important .

Internal Communications

Internal communications is in some firms far from the agenda of the board room table; in others it is fully integrated into the organisation and embellished with the drive and determination of top management so that it succeeds. Good internal communications strategy and implementation motivates work forces and generates clear, useful communication to drive the company forward and ensures all employees take ownership of the positive side of honest communication of both opportunities for improvement and praise of fellow workers. Employees need to know what direction an organisation is heading in, where their individual and team roles fit in and what they have to do in order to achieve the goals set. People will put every effort into advancing the business if they can communicate their ideas.

So what do Internal Communications strategies look to deliver, well with many organisations it is the desire to further the quality standards needed in the business environment and to transpose that need internally towards its employees. With others, it is driven by the speed at which the business environment is changing and hence the need for the organisation to change. In this case good internal communication is delivered through a company vision and a change in focus toward face to face or more personal communication.

In order to achieve this, an organisation must understand several aspects to the organisation. It is necessary to understand the environment of the employees and what likely influences there are. These factors that influence employees include line management, immediate workers and any subordinates. As well as their own set of values, but also, those of their colleagues that surround them in the working environment. The important points of influence are, and always have been, our own co-workers. Peers influence more than managers influence subordinates. Added to this are the issues of culture and the sub culture of the company. Politics play a part as does the management style. In all a complex set of variables are at play.

The communication environment is conceptualised via the modification of the concept of communication taken from the Chartered Institute of Marketing. The author has embellished this concept to include the environment of the employee.

If the organisation understands the environment of the employee then it can use the best methods to get information to each person.

The second aspect the organisation needs to understand are the perceptions of the employees concerning the information they receive. If the company understands this aspect as well, then it will know what information is best received. Hence an appreciation of these two aspects will indicate whether or not an Internal Communications strategy is working. Management is then in a position to either continue or change its strategy.

The importance of this article is to bring to the fore the need for organisation to appreciate these two key aspects of the organisation and then to plan an Internal Communications strategy that works.

For t-shirt printing and other promotional garments and merchandise, screen printing is often employed using one of three different methods. The method most commonly used and best suited for a large variety of graphics is called ‘Spot Colour’ printing. Spot color printing is the appropriate procedure for graphic prints that aren’t photographic.

A graphic designer usually chooses the ink colours used to reproduce the graphic images, and they are all Pantone specified. Pantone coated or noncoated color types are selected to clarify the ink hues of the pattern. The Pantone system is a global standard for colour matching where every colour is assigned a unique designation.

When colour identity and uniformity is an issue, for example in branded promotional garments or a large selection of products, this method of spot color printing works very well.

4 Color Process is an additional technique for t-shirt screen printing. This printing process is utilised primarily with photographic designs and sketches comprised of a broad variety of hues, shades and gradations. Hard covers, paperbacks and periodicals all use the same four-colour process.

The transparent inks blend with one another on a plain white backdrop to recreate each of the colours and shades present in the original. This is certainly a much harder procedure to do on material than it is to do on paper. However, the actual method used is mostly the same.  This particular sort of t-shirt printing will, obviously, only be effective on white cloth. It won’t work on coloured garments. When garment screen printers reproduce such full colour images onto coloured fabrics a method called ‘Simulated Process’ is used. The print set-up costs are higher than that of simple spot colour designs and as such only suitable for larger print runs of 100+ Using method similar to spot colour printing to achieve the overall look and feel of the original image the artwork is separated into various colours and shades

This method is used by every printer and is very popular for reproducing heavy metal and fantasy images taken from CD artwork and reproduced on black t-shirts for band merchandising. This is the most expensive form of printing and as such used only on larger print runs due to the higher set up costs involving the colour separations and larger number of colours used to print the images.

The exact origins of Tai Chi are hard to tie down. There are many myths about its origins. One of those says that Taoist monk Chang San-feng was disturbed by the sounds of a snake and a crane fighting in his courtyard. He then built a style based around their movements.

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese form of movement that coordinates your body and focuses on the cultivation of internal energy. It’s aim is to harmonize the mind, body and spirit hence, promoting both metal and physical well being through relaxation. It is often described as a type of meditation that combines deep breathing and movements that exact structual alignment. Correct practice appears rhythmical, effortless and in continuous flow and it can generate surprising power almost at odds with its gentle movements.

People who regularly practice Tai Chi become revitalized, relaxed, tolerant, stronger and healthier. Tai Chi is suitable for all ages and sexes because it does not rely on strength, force or speeds. It brings benefits in many areas.

Tai chi is derived from Chinese health and longevity practices, which were merged with a comprehensive system of self defence. In the past, much of Tai Chi was kept secret, but very gradually, knowledge of the art spread throughout China. Now at the start and end of every day in villages, towns, and cities all over Chinese Asia, people can be seen practicing the slow, graceful movements of tai chi in courtyards, squares and parks.

Tai chi came to the West during the 20th century largely due to the cultural revolution when many masters fled the country. Today, tai chi is found in almost all countries, and a huge number of people practice it regularly.

It requires a high degree of concentration and mental focus. The breathing is natural, sometimes involving deep breathing, and is carefully synchronised to your movements.

Tai Chi consists of soft, relaxed (usually) slow movements and is recognised as being good for stress, balance, blood pressure and general health.It is one of the one of the Chinese Internal martial arts (neijia). The others being Hsing-I, Ba Gua Zhang and Liuhebafa(Six Harmonies, 8 Methods).

Tai Chi appeals to a wide range of people and age ranges, (teens and 20’s up to 80’s & 90’s) but it is not common for the art to be taught to children as the training can be slow for their tastes. There are a number of forms specifically targetted at the over 50’s and health problems such as Arthritis.

We’ve all heard the stories of people who save tons of money each and every week by using coupons.  Many times we wonder just how much time and energy it really takes to save 40%, 50% and more. 

Well the fact is that coupon shopping does take some strategy, however, it does not need to be as time-consuming as you might imagine.  Here are some coupon tips and techniques to consider. 

Are you really saving money?  Seems like a crazy question when you have a coupon in your hand that is offering to save you a dollar off, but the fact of the matter is that even with a groceries coupon for a dollar off you might not really be saving money.  Think about this.  Is this a product that you would normally buy?  Is this a brand that you would normally buy?  Is this something that you need?  Many times manufacturers who offer coupons are betting on the possibility that by offering you a coupon they may entice you to try their product and many times they are right. 

Many times we will try something new just because of the fact that we can save a dollar or two on the product.  But if it is not something that you use or need or want you are not saving money but you are just spending money.  A coupon does not necessarily mean savings if you are indiscriminate in your use of them.  A sale or a coupon does not save you money if you were not planning on buying the product in the first place. 

Another thing to consider is the manufacturers brand vs. the store or generic brand.  Many time the quality of the store brand or the generic brand is equivalent to the manufacturers brand and if you are checking prices and adding up savings you will often find that you can save more by buying the store brand than you can buying the manufacturers brand even with an awesome coupon offering $1.00 or more off.  Check your prices and determine how much your own brand loyalty is worth to you. 

Check your stores sales fliers.  You can often save money by using your manufacturers coupons combined with store sales and store coupons.  But you need to make sure that the sale is really a “sale”.  If you see a 2 for 1 sale but the price is higher than usual, are the savings really there?  Know your prices.  It just takes paying attention at the store for a little while to know approximately how much things cost.  If the price changes be aware of how much and how often and consider if you are really saving. 

This is also important when choosing a store to shop in.  Most stores are fairly competitive if you add up the prices for everything but be aware of the items you consistently buy.  If one store consistently has lower prices on the items you most often purchase then you could end up saving 10% or more every week just by picking the right grocery store. 

As for coupons, the best advice is to choose them wisely.  There are coupons in your Sunday paper, sales fliers, magazines and of course, online.  Shop around for the best coupons and the best deals.  The best coupons are the ones you will actually use to purchase things that you actually buy. 

You can save money on groceries.  Make a menu.  Make a list.  Cut and use the coupons that work best for you and shop the sales. You will save money.

Buying DVD’s online is huge today. The last 3-4 years has seen this method of purchasing dvd grow. The pros far outweigh the cons but a word of warning. You do have to do your due diligence. You want the site you buy your dvds online from to be reputable.

There are many online clubs that are reputable, you simply have to find them. One tactic I used when I began my search was to hit the search engines. I simply put dvd club, forum into the search engines and it gave me results of forums or groups that discuss all things dvd.

These forums will have recommendations and reviews from users where you will get a good insight into where the best place is to go to when you are purchasing dvd’s online. Spend some time there and be sure you are following a persons advice that has some standing within that particular forum or discussion group.

After a month of pouring over the above I came to the conclusion that the site that met every criteria I need to buy dvds online safely was Amazon. They have a huge reputation for being safe, fast and ethical. I would strongly urge you to at least check them out.

They ship dvds to most countries and in the majority of cases in record time. Their refund policy is the fairest I have seen and the range is the most complete.
