Printers of All Sizes Can and Should Compete for GPO Work

Too often printers think they have to be capable of producing multi-million dollar jobs in order to compete for the approximately $400 million in work that the United States Government Printing Office (GPO) awards annually to private sector printers. That is a myth. The truth is most jobs put out for bid by GPO are in the $3, 000 to $5, 000 range and most often involve what average-size printers do on a daily basis -- envelopes, tags, color copying, kit folders, cut sheets, four-color process and promotional specialties to mention a few categories of print jobs. GPO puts these out for bid as one-time jobs or jackets and as multi-year programs. The majority of the firms doing the federal government"s print work are small businesses, according to GPO officials.

Social Network Marketing is a Bust

Many companies believe that creating a myspace, facebook, and twitter page is all they have to do when marketing their website, business, or product. What many companies fail to realize is these social networks provide no actual search engine optimization. 9 times out of 10 even when a user "likes" something on a social network, they don't in fact visit the website, or much less read what the page is about. Then within seconds the subject is forgotten about, so while you just spent money to have them visit your page, it provided you with no return. As we look into the past it becomes more obvious businesses on every scale are wasting away their marketing budget on useless promotions.

Key Marketing People in a Digital World

Fifteen years ago, when a business decided to invest money in advertising, typically this meant buying ad space in a newspaper or magazine, creating print mail ads, or buying air time on the t.v. or radio. But that was then, and this is now. Unless you have been living under a rock, most of us realize that advertising has moved from traditional, to the completely fast-paced digital world of social media.

A Realtor s Tech Tool Kit

According to the National Association of Realtors, the average work week of all realtors nationwide ranged from 40 to 59 hours. No doubt most of those hours are during afternoons, evenings and weekends. Plus, does it include time on the phone, traveling between appointments and fighting with a fax machine? The real estate business is definitely not for the faint of heart. It takes tenacity, stamina, creativity, patience and an eternally positive attitude. Then again, if you want to be one of those agents who makes more than the average $48k annually, you will need to have a firm grasp of technology and a willingness to go the extra mile. For now, we will skip the lecture on finding new clients 24/7 and the endless pursuit of market statistics.

Digital Imaging

There are quite a few Digital Imaging solutions in the market today and somehow they all claim to be the best. So where should one start when comparing these various solutions? I have always believed that when evaluating any type of product or service, one should start by creating a list of top 10 priorities. Then compare solutions from various vendors using this list along with weightings for each of the criteria. I was recently involved in comparing Digital Imaging Systems for my company and since I practice what I preach, I created the following list: 1. Ease of use: Arguably the most important consideration of any technology solution is ease of use. While some solutions may appear to offer the most significant cost savings, those savings can be diminished if a solution is difficult to use.

How to Find the Right Residual Income Opportunity

Many companies and programs out there claim to provide a residual income. Although I believe that most of them do, what you really should be looking at is, how realistic is it to earn a residual income with that particular company. Not very many people will take the time to breakdown and analyze a companies compensation plan to see hot they would be able to reach a nice residual income. I didn't when I first started in the network marketing industry. I was blinded by the concept of earning more money than I could ever imagine, so I never really took the time to do my homework and figure how I would realistically do it. I know that so many people out there are experiencing this same problem right now and most of them don't even know it.
