    So, if you’re like everyone else (including me), you’re probably sick of hearing about the sluggish economy (cue the groans). Lots of business owners and executives are frustrated by shrinking market share and bottom lines that are bottoming out. Unfortunately, too often, companies axe their marketing budgets to compensate for the short fall, which is a huge mistake.

    Lack of cash flow is a real challenge that many companies today face. What do you do with the vicious cycle in which you 1) no longer have enough traffic coming through the door to 2) make enough money to advertise and 3) keep traffic coming through the door? It’s all about the little things. I advise my clients to concentrate on the little efforts, the cheap and free activities, the referral campaigns and relationship building activities.

    It’s great to run TV spots and huge orchestrated pay per click campaigns- when you can afford to. They are proven, effective marketing methods. But these costly platforms are a diminishing opportunity for many small business owners today. My advice is to get your business in front as many people as possible using other avenues:

    Referrals – begin by working your past and current clients. You may find this to be your best quality-lead generating activity because you gain instant credibility when you are referred by someone who has done business with you. Clean up your database (don’t have one? tsk tsk, start one now!) and start contacting people. Send handwritten “thank yous” or “thinking of yous”, and include a scratch off lotto ticket. Hold an open house, start a newsletter, offer a gift or discount in exchange for referrals, leave a little gift on their doorsteps with your business cards…. There are so many fun ways to do this! Use your creativity.

    Newsletters / eNewsletters – this is a great way to keep in touch with your target audience and keep your business “top of mind”. Better yet? This is a great vehicle to position yourself as an expert in your industry by sharing insider opinions and observations on your industry’s trends and changes. If you’re nervous about writing articles, get some help from a decent writer or hire a copywriter to create a final draft from your notes. Some great ways to compel clients and prospects to sign up for your newsletter or eNewsletter is to respect privacy, don’t bombard them with messages, provide both industry information and lighter, more enjoyable reading and anecdotes, and don’t forget to offer newsletter / eNewsletter coupons, offers and specials only available to subscribers.

    Get Published – there are quite a few sites out there for publishing your own content like Associated Content and EzineArticles. This could include your own original articles, and reprints of articles written for your newsletter, and blog posts. Each site has their own policies and requirements for your pieces, so be sure to review prior to writing and submitting. This activity benefits you in a couple ways: 1) you gain the credibility of being a published author, again positioning you as an expert in your industry, 2) you will turn up in search engines which means opportunities for new prospects to find out about you and your business, 3) these sites give you the ability to set up a bio about yourself, so be sure to include a link to your website. All the links out there leading back to your website improve your search engine ranking.

    Join an Organization- I recently joined ASBA, the Arizona Small Business Association and they are great! The membership is very inexpensive and they offer a wide array of educational workshops, informational seminars, Toastmasters and writing classes, and even health insurance! Take advantage of the many opportunities to network with other business owners for purposes of growing your business and get and give leadership and support. Check them out at ASBA.com. Along these lines, you may also want to check out SCORE, and non-profit volunteer opportunities as well.

    I am ashamed to say that there are 4 iPod’s in my house, and 2 of them belong to me. While the iPod is certainly a revolutionary product, Apple took a strangle hold on the music industry not through the iPod (a product innovation) but by bundling the product with iTunes (a service innovation).

    While the iPod is sexy and gets all the attention, it is iTunes that was the disrupter. One of the unique things about purveyors of technology such as Apple and Intel is that they are not interested in incremental improvements to existing products. They are market makers.

    Real money is to be made in building new markets as was the case with innovators such as Starbucks, and Cirque du Soleil. In a study completed by the authors of The Blue Ocean Strategy, a review of 108 companies revealed that of their major product launches, 86% were line extension which represented 62% of sales and 39% of total profits. 14% were entirely new products, and represented 38% of sales and 61% of total profits.

    Tips for Finding Key Differentiators that will Separate You from Your Competition

    1. Challenge the paradigms of how your products and services are delivered. Starbucks was a new delivery system for coffee, Amazon a new channel for books and Southwest an alternative routing system for travelers. Zip Car is disrupting the delivery system for auto transportation, challenging the assumption that cars are worth owning. Offered primarily in urban markets, Zip Cars are available at a low cost at the time that people need them (such as college students visiting their parents out of town for an afternoon).

    - Look at delivery systems for products outside your industry and look for applications to your product or service. For example, Nordstrom’s personal shopper concept could be applied in many service industries.

    - Convene a customer advisory board or 4-6 customers and dig deep into their specific business problems and opportunities. Ask them what your company can do to lead the pack. This interaction is a self fulfilling prophecy: your best customers who helped you to build the strategy and tactics will buy in and be early adopters.

    2. Expand your bundle of services. Globalization has led to new competitors entering every market, and massive product proliferation, changing the balance of supply and demand. Almost every product has become commoditized. It is more critical than ever that companies expand their bundle of services to create points of differentiation.

    - Lowes has upped the ante on their competition by offering free next day delivery and “haul away” for used appliances. By considering the customer’s entire cost of ownership, Lowes is providing an innovative value added service by reducing the customer’s cost and aggravation by picking up used refrigerators, washers and dryers.

    - Take an activity based costing approach to evaluating steps in your service offering. Most merchants no longer require signatures for small credit card purchases as the risk of customers challenging the charges is smaller than the labor of securing it.

    3. Reverse engineer customer needs and preferences. Service innovations are discovered through reverse engineering how people and companies use products, and through understanding their behavior. The top consumer product companies such as Procter and Gamble use innovative design houses like Ideo who follow consumers around, and watch them through one way mirrors to understand their shopping and consumption behavior. Ideo brought us the first standup toothpaste and truly made the world a better place.

    - Conduct monthly customer satisfaction surveys and rotate in specific questions about your services and how they can be improved. Make customer satisfaction a success metric and engage team members to share in the results and solutions

    - Provide a structure for front line employees to identify customer problems and report them to senior management. Jack Welch made his town hall style meetings with junior staff legendary. Reward innovation with the people closest to the customer.

    4. Win with information as a differentiator. Last year I began a new food regimen that included protein for breakfast. I became hooked on Jamba Juice, in part because of the complete nutrition information offered in a binder within the store. When Robeks opened 3 blocks from my house, they did not have any nutritional information to offer on low calorie smoothies. This insight and corresponding benefit has created customer loyalty (in my case) that has nothing to do with quality, selection or price.

    - Carefully review the information that you make readily available on your website, including product specifications and ordering requirements.

    5. Use 3rd Party Certifications as a differentiator. The Internet has provided a new venue for customer feedback. Restaurants are rated by Zagat, hotels by Trip Advisor, thousand of merchants through ratings on eBay. Marketers are seeking third party validation through J.D. Power, ISO, and the Good Housekeeping Seal.

    - Seek out 3rd parties who can validate your service claims, or training of key personnel.

    - Do a touch point assessment, and have a 3rd party review your website, online ordering system, phone, reception area, invoices, etc to evaluate how easy it is to do business with your company

    Chicago’s Magnificent Mile is one of the top shopping districts in the world. Located on North Michigan Avenue, from the Chicago River north to Lincoln Park, Magnificent Mile shopping features more than 400 stores, varying from boutiques to department stores to art galleries to electronic shops.

    It’s not just shopping that put the Magnificent in the Mile. The Magnificent Mile offers over 200 restaurants, including the acclaimed Signature Room at The 95th, Spiaggia, Tru, The Pump Room, and Spago. It also features landmark buildings, such as the John Hancock Center, the Wrigley Building, and the Tribune Tower, as well as residential and commercial centers, hotels and entertainment. Some of the city’s most impressive architecture can be seen on the Mile. In fact, the American Planning Association selected North Michigan Avenue as one of the “10 Great Streets in America.”

    The street is filled with specialty stores, many of them offering luxury goods, such as Barney’s New York, Hermes, Bulgari, Lalique, Brooks Brothers, Cartier, Tiffany’s, Giorgio Armani, Kate Spade, MaxMara, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Salvatore Ferragamo. The Magnificent Mile is also home to familiar brands, such as Banana Republic, Orvis, Benetton, Gap, Talbots, and Timberland. And if you want to save your money for one of the great restaurants along the Mile, you can shop at a discount at Marshalls or Filene’s Basement.

    If you are looking for home furnishings, home accessories, or art galleries, the Magnificent Mile is the place to find Pottery Barn, Fly-By-Nite Galleries, Orca Aaart, Crate & Barrel, Atlas Galleries, Chaiaroscuro, or The Arts Club of Chicago.

    For kids and teenagers (and kids at heart), there are toy and clothing stores, as well as electronics and music, including the American Girl Place, Madison & Friends, LEGO, Apple Computer, Virgin Megastore, Jacadi, Bang & Olufsen, Hammacher Schlemmer, and Sony Gallery.

    When the Windy City lives up to its name, shop indoors at one of the Magnificent Mile shopping centers or department stores. There are four shopping centers – Water Tower Place, Chicago Place, 900 N Michigan Shops, and The Shops at North Bridge. Water Tower Place is the most famous, and houses stores like Abercrombie & Fitch, Sharper Image, Victoria’s Secret, Chico’s, Macy’s, Body Shop, Sephora, and Fossil. The Mile also offers a long list of department stores, including Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus.

    If you are headed to Chicago for some Magnificent Mile shopping, CRSHotels.com has the perfect hotel for you. Stay at the centrally located Raffaello Hotel, the Inn of Chicago Magnificent Mile, or the Sutton Place Hotel. Choose the Italian-style Amalfi, the historic Ambassador East Hotel (with the famous Pump Room restaurant), the Whitehall Hotel, or the European-Style Seneca Hotel & Suites (with a special CRSHotels.com deal).

    Your dream is to walk down the aisle looking gorgeous wearing the perfect wedding dress. Whether it’s a long or short, formal or informal, it must be special. It must be YOU. And it must be CHEAP because you are on a tight budget.

    Shopping for the perfect inexpensive dress is a time-consuming process. So start early, at least eight to 12 months ahead of time. Your dress will be on display during the ceremony and reception, set the tone for your wedding, and be immortalized by the photographer. It has to be cheap, but it has to look stunning. How do you buy the dress of your dreams when you’re on a budget? You will be amazed at the possibilities. Here are some suggestions:

    1. Be prepared to compromise. You will no doubt fall in love with a gown far more expensive than you can afford. Take the opportunity to discover what features you love. What is it about the dress that makes you look wonderful in it? The high collar? Plunging back? The bell skirt? Note those features and look at cheaper dresses in similar designs.

    2. Try on dresses with someone who knows you and your style and has a good eye for fashion. Her mission is to help you choose a style that showcases your best features while steering you away from the expensive gowns.

    3. There are often outstanding bargains in regular bridal shops. Some stores in our city carry a selection for $100 or less. Always ask about discounted gowns when you are in a dress shop.

    4. As popularity of destination weddings increases, so has the selection of cheap ivory and white dresses in department stores. Look in the dress sections of department stores like Dillards, Macy’s, or Nordstrom for clearance or sale-priced dresses. Even full-price formals are cheaper than many wedding dresses.

    5. Look in upscale consignment stores. The better shops carefully screen incoming dresses for tears, stains, and other signs of wear and have like new inventory. They also tend to carry more brand name dresses and gowns than less discriminating stores. Some cities even have bridal consignments. Check the online yellow pages for options near you (www.yellowpages.com).

    6. Cheap wedding dresses in like-new condition are plentiful on eBay. There were over 5,000 bridal gowns listed as of this writing.

    7. Free is wonderful relief on a budget. Make your wedding dress the “something borrowed” in your wedding and ask a friend or relative if you can wear hers. (There can be a lot of emotions attached to a dress, so consider carefully before asking to wear someone’s dress. They may be flattered, or offended.)

    8. There are several outlet chains that carry designer dresses at cheap prices. Find Bridal Mart, Cinderella Bridal, JC Penny Outlets and other bridal outlet locations through http://www.outletbound.com.

    9. Samples are another source of cheap designer wedding dresses. With a bit of online research you can find original designer gowns 50% or more off retail. Search Google for “designer wedding gown samples” (without quotes), or something similar, and you will find many deeply discounted wedding dresses.

    By researching and carefully choosing a cheap wedding dress, you can walk down the aisle in style without breaking the bank!

    Okay, let’s get right to it, are you a woman? Well, if you are in fact a member of the fairer sex, then you’re more than likely in love with shoes. Not to be stereotypical here, but I’ve yet to run into a gal who doesn’t love her footwear. Now that we’re on the subject, where do you shop for your shoes? Let me guess, you’re probably going to say anywhere and everywhere. Well, that’s all well and good, but are you getting the best deals that you can? The majority of men and women don’t put much thought into it, but there is an entire universe of shoe stores on the Internet. Yes, that’s correct; the Internet is jam packed with retail shoe stores. This is why you should consider the plethora of online shoe stores. There are more great deals out there that you could possibly imagine.

    Have you searched the web lately? Shame on you if you only hit up the local shoe stores for your collection of footwear. That is really only a drop in the proverbial bucket. The Internet has so much more to offer than running from store to store and the traditional manner. Maybe you love to shop at Nordstrom’s. That is my wife’s favorite. It’s Nordstrom’s or bust for her when it comes to shoes. It’s all about their boots. But the problem is that the nearest department store doesn’t always have her size, or perhaps they no longer have a particular style in their inventory; this is when she flicks on her computer.

    If you log onto Nordstrom’s online, you will clearly see a much more expansive variety of shoes. And isn’t it great to be able to shop from the comfort and safety of your own home. Just about any brand you can think of offers their goods through online shoe stores. This way they reach a much larger shopping demographic than they would through conventional means. Isn’t it time you checked out some of the major online shoe stores? I bet they have that pair you’ve been searching for. At least I know your odds for finding them will be a whole lot better than they were before.

    The convenience of online shoe stores have most assuredly made it that much easier for women across the world to do their shoe shopping. Hey, I’m guessing you already know your size, right? This is why online shoe stores make perfect sense. And if you like sales, you haven’t seen nothing yet. Go online and look for a specific pair of shoes or boots. Now let all those shoe stores show you the best deals. This is the best way to guarantee the lowest prices. With online shoe stores, you can locate what you’re hunting for and grab the lowest cost at the same time.

    Few American cities are more beautiful than Seattle. Bounded on three sides by water, with mountain ranges to the east and west, and towering Mount Rainier to the south, Seattle is stunning.

    As if its natural beauty weren’t enough. Seattle has hip local culture – grunge, Starbucks, Amazon.com, and Nordstrom all got their starts here – and terrific food. And the hotels in Seattle offer a broad range of experiences from cool to cozy,

    Unfortunately, the stories about rain here aren’t exaggerations. It rarely pours like it does in Miami or Hawaii, but it drizzles, sprinkles, and mists a lot. Just bring a water-repellent raincoat, shoes that can get wet, and a sturdy umbrella. Or come in July and August when the weather is usually gorgeous.

    Seattlites are used to the weather, so very few things get called on account of rain. Many activities take place indoors – the local baseball stadium has a retractable roof – and you can cover blocks downtown without ever venturing outside.

    The Pike Place Market is the heart of the city and has been since 1907. If you only have time to visit one thing in Seattle, make it the market. If you can have a meal there, better still. There are dozens of great restaurants from take-outs serving pizza or burritos to four-star, white-linen restaurants.

    The market also has wonderful views of Puget Sound. Watching the ferries glide across Elliott Bay is a uniquely Seattle experience.

    Water-view rooms at the Inn at the Market provide this panorama to their lucky guests. Located just half a block up from the market high stalls, Inn at the Market is one of the best located hotels in Seattle. It’s steps from everything the market has to offer, and downtown shopping is just a few minutes away. In fact, it’s one of the best Seattle hotels.

    In addition to the restaurants in the market, the Inn has three good ones of its own – Café Campagne, Campagne, and Bacco. Dungeness Crab Benedict from Bacco is a great way to start the day.

    If the weather’s fine during your visit, head up to the roof terrace. And if you can afford it, upgrade to a suite with a private deck overlooking the Sound.

    The Mayflower Park Hotel is a few blocks up Stewart Street and it’s probably the best Seattle hotel for serious shoppers. All the big department stores and downtown malls are just steps away.

    Built in 1927, it has a lot of charm, although standard rooms are pretty small. If you’re not going to spend much time in your room, and why would you, it’s a very good value. During the holidays, they have a shoppers’ package that includes gifts and discounts at local stores.

    Oliver’s is our favorite Seattle hotel bar. The two-story windows, cozy booths, and happy hour appetizers make it a nice spot for a perfectly made martini. Andaluca Restaurant serves Spanish food and tapas in stylish surroundings.

    Although the Mayflower Park is not a luxury hotel, in terms of location, style, and value, it’s a good Seattle hotel.

    The most luxurious hotel in Seattle is the Fairmont Olympic Hotel. Opened in 1924, it’s the only Five Diamond Hotel in the Northwest and it’s on a par with the grand hotels of Chicago or Boston.

    The Olympic has 450 nicely decorated rooms, although the less expensive rooms are on the small side. Service is truly world class, and the Spa and Health Club are terrific. We love swimming in the indoor pool on cold, rainy days.

    The hotel is conveniently located on the same block as many of Seattle’s most exclusive shops. If your schedule allows, high tea in the Georgian Room is an institution. There aren’t many experiences in Seattle like it.

    The Olympic is a very formal hotel, and it’s pretty tame. We stayed here one Christmas Eve and the bar closed at 9PM. So if you’re looking for excitement, you won’t find it here. If you’re looking for peace, quiet, and professional pampering, this is the spot.

    The Kimpton Hotel Group has several properties Seattle hotels. And all are managed to a high standard. Hotel Monaco is on 4th Street near the Olympic. The décor is bright and colorful, and the lobby is decorated with reproductions of ancient murals of dolphins from Crete.

    The restaurant here, Sazerac, serves updated Southern food and great cocktails. And there’s a nice fitness center. Like all Kimpton Hotels, it’s pet friendly. In fact, they’ll have an amenities basket for Fido in your room. If you don’t have a pet, you can arrange to have a goldfish on loan.

    The Alexis is another Kimpton hotel with a full-service spa and a very popular bar. Located in an area with lots of design stores, it’s in a 1901 building with wood floors, brick walls, and high ceilings. There’s lots of original art, and it’s just a couple of blocks from the waterfront, where you’ll find several good restaurants.

    The Four Seasons Hotel is one of the newest hotels in Seattle. It’s probably not worth the premium price in winter, when the location overlooking Elliott Bay is windy and cold. But in summer, the rooftop terrace with infinity pool, hot tub, and fire pit is the most glamorous spot in Seattle. It’s very convenient to galleries, the Seattle Art Museum, and the Benaroya Concert Hall, and service is first rate. Request a room overlooking Puget Sound.

    With its ultra-modern amenities, Hotel 1000 is the most innovative hotel in Seattle. Since it opened in 2007, it’s won nearly every travel award there is, and the automated services are sure to dazzle. Choose the art you want displayed on your 40″ LCD TV monitor, get restaurant recommendations from your telephone, or relax in the Philippe Starck designed free standing tub that fills from the ceiling.

    The stylish public areas features dark woods, leather, and onyx, and the guest rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows. When you get hungry, Studio 1000 and BOKA specialize in Urban American cuisine.

    Every mother knows the feeling, you want to put your baby in the cutest clothing possible. This can often mean designer baby clothing. There are several designers to choose from depending on what you are looking to spend. All of these companies carry well made baby girls clothes.

    There are more affordable brands such as Carter’s. There clothing is available at Target and other major retailers so you know there is always a place where they are available. Their newborn baby clothing “Just One Year Sleep and Play” is affordable on any budget at $7.99 (at target.com). Other similarly affordable brands such as OshKosh can be found at your local chain store as well.

    If you’re looking for higher end designer baby clothing check out brands such as Juicy Couture and Burberry. Both have adorable items for your baby that will make your friends jealous. If you don’t have either of these stores near you don’t worry, you can get these brands at Nordstrom such as this Burberry Check Shirt for Infants which costs $105.

    Sometimes people want the designer look without the designer price. For that you can check out your local outlet mall. You can get a great deal off of of regular prices by getting designer baby clothing from last season. When the seasons change last seasons items are put on sale, if you buy a larger size you can get the same items for a fraction of the cost. Another suggestion is to check out your local TJ Maxx or Marshalls. You can find designer items for 20%-70% off retail price. A Juicy Couture baby sweatsuit would run you about $90 in stores, but you can find last seasons sweatsuit for $30 at TJ Maxx.

    We’ve all been there. There is the bra strap that perpetually falls down, the strapless bra that migrates to your mid-section, and even the Grand Canyon shoulder strap crevasse. It all comes down to finding a bra that fits.

    A bra that fits well is a priceless piece of lingerie! Because of that, here are “The Virtues”:

    1. Comfort

    2. Confidence

    3. It frees you of pesky underwire that can dig into your skin

    4. It makes your breasts look like assets instead of liabilities

    5. It enhances what you have instead of what you don’t when the cup size is too big

    6. It keeps your ample girls from spilling out the top on too small cup sizes

    7. It keeps cleavage in the front, where it belongs, instead of on your back. You’ll avoid that ghastly back cleavage caused by too BIG band sizes. (Go down a size and wear it lower on your back. It will eliminate back cleavage)

    8. It supports your breasts and fights off the dreaded gravitational pull

    9. Straps stay put instead of slipping down the side of your arms, leaving your breasts with lop-sided support. We all know that means “no support.” (Most likely your bra band is riding up and you need to go down a band size)

    10. It creates a better support for your back

    11. It enhances your curves in ways that you never thought possible

    12. It’s a mood enhancing experience

    13. Your confidence in how you feel and look is an instant aphrodisiac to your spouse, boyfriend or lover

    There is an art to finding a good bra that makes you feel comfortable, assured, and luxurious all day. Before you can find that perfect bra, you have to know your bra size. You’d think it was a national phenomenon when Oprah showed a segment on how to find your bra size and it was announced that “85% of women in America are wearing the wrong bra size.”

    What is a woman to do? Get measured!

    Go to a local boutique, measuring is one of the special services provided at the select stores. To find one near you, do a search online.

    If you don’t have a boutique nearby, you can also check out the following department stores where you can get measured:

    - Neiman Marcus

    - Nordstrom

    - Barneys

    The other option is for you to measure your own breast size. It’s a simple and easy two component process.

    Do you always have difficulties finding things to buy for your friends and families for birthdays, holidays, or special events? Discount restaurant gift certificates are great gifts for many occasions, especially for families who have limited budgets but like to dine out.

    Restaurant gift card is a great gift for people who do not like to cook, or simply do not have time to cook. It is also a great house warming gift. When you just move into a new home and try to get everything together, spending time in the kitchen might not be a priority. Instead of giving them a blender that they might have already, giving them restaurant certificates of their neighborhood restaurants is more practical and will make their life easier.

    You can find discount restaurant certificates on the Internet quite easily. Here are four places you can get them online.

    1. eBay

    You can find many discount restaurant gift certificates for sale on eBay. Some people might have received gift cards for a restaurant that they do not like, or the restaurant is simply too far away from home. Therefore, many people try to sell it on eBay to get some cash back.

    2. Restaurant.com

    Restaurant.com sells restaurant gift certificates at a huge discount. You can buy a $100 restaurant certificates for $30.

    3. Costco

    I was browsing on Costco website the other day, and I realized they also offer restaurant certificates at discounted prices. Costco sells gift cards for several popular restaurants in my area at 20% off. Usually they come in a gift pack. For instance, they sell two $50 certificates for $80. Although they do not have a large selection, it is worth checking if you have a Costco membership.

    4. Entertainment Books

    Although Entertainment Books is not necessarily a “gift card,” it contains many restaurant coupons. There are many “buy one get one free” type of discount restaurant coupons. Best of all, if you plan to buy Entertainment Books for your friends as house warming gifts, the book would help them to find out more about their neighborhood stores.

    Entertainment Book has coupons for many popular national restaurants, such as Subway, Cold Stone Creamery, and Quizno. You can also find tons of local restaurant coupons in the books. They make great Christmas gifts since your friends will have an entire year to use all the coupons in the book.

    I hope these four ways of purchasing discount restaurant gift certificates give you some ideas of what to buy for your friends and families who already have a lot of things in their homes. Giving a good dining experience is just as good as giving any physical gifts.
