All You Need to Consider Before Selecting Promotional Gift Items

2010-05-15T02:30:00.001-07:00

Promotional activities, if done correctly, can be very rewarding for any company. Most critical part is to decide the promotional merchandise correctly. Your choice should be based on the brand image of your company and according to your target audience's general taste. Promoting your company with utility promotional gifts like mugs, cups, pens and pencils, coasters, etc are a great way to get started. These items are available at a low cost and can be easily customised the way a company wants. They are extremely affordable when bought in a bulk. That is the reason why so many companies opt for the above mentioned items for their promotional activities.Mugs and pens are two functional items, best for promotional activities. These two items are versatile in nature. These can be used by all alike. We all might have used these promotional items sometime or the other. And at home, who hasn't sat with a promotional coffee mug at the breakfast table indulged in a gossip session? Or sat with a promotional tea cup to mull over and solve the newspaper puzzle?

Providing your customers with utility items is very important. Items like pens, mugs, coasters, etc are useful items that can be used in a work place and as well as in a household. The recipients will not only happily use them in their house or at workplace but will also like to show them to their friends or colleagues. This would further promote your products or services. Remember, more functional and attractive your promotional products are more exposure and publicity they will provide you. While electing these gifts it is important to first identify your target audience and also decide what type of promotion you are looking at. For identifying your target audience, categorise the kind of people who purchase your products or avail your services. Some of your clients will only be entitled to certain types of promotional gifts. When you are spending so much of money, time and energy, you want that every type of your customer should get the best possible item to ensure that they use them often and that too in front of other potential customers.

While selecting gift items you need to decide what kind of promotion you want. You want to distribute the gifts for free to your customers, or you want to give them along with a minimum purchase of your product or services or you want them to win those gifts. You can also give them as a complimentary gift along with your product. Like if you are launching a new coffee brand, you can distribute coffee mugs with them!

There are many ideas and products that can be customised and turned into useful and successful promotional gifts. You only need to consider the above mentioned factors to select the best products.

Rugby Ball Stress Balls - An in Depth Look at These Popular Promotional Stress Balls

2010-05-09T14:30:00.001-07:00

There are few low cost promotional products that can be printed in full colour and look so good. Stress balls can be! Rugby stress balls offer nice large print areas so the affect can be even better. Rugby stress relievers have been around for many years but advances in digital printing have made these popular shapes not just popular but very much sought after. Even if you and your business are not into Rugby, you will surely know of some customers that are. If you happen to have an interest in the sport than these are definitely a stress shape you should see!

Rugby ball stress toys are available in keyring size and also full size. The larger of the two measures in at 100mm x 60mm which fits into the average adult sized hand very well. The keyring size is 60mm x 36mm. Personally, I love stress ball keyrings because they are addictive. Put one on your keys and see if after a while you don't find yourself squeezing your stresses away.

Both the keyring size and the larger more popular size can be printed in full colour and I highly recommend that you do so. This will ensure you get the best results for your money. People like to look at attractive full colour pictures. What's more, the rugby stress shapes are divided into four equal sections just as a normal rugby ball is. This means that you can have your logo and details printed on each panel for amazing eye-catching promotions. Again, I recommend that you do this as it will keep your customers interested in you and your message. Many businesses elect to print their logo on two of the panels and then something like the Rugby League World Cup logo on the other two sides.

Personally, I like to see my customers get creative with their promotional stress balls. If you have company colours that people recognize your company by, then use them. This will help build your brand. Every stress ball can be manufactured in your corporate colours if you have a few weeks before your event.

If this is not the case, you will find that rugby ball stress balls are often held in stock by the big stress products suppliers. They will have them in a range of colours which you can pad print your logo on when express printing is a must. Please note, however, that pad printing is not up to the same standard as transfer printing so if you can plan and order early you will get the best results and it will also usually be less expensive.

Reaching Out to Under-Served Markets

2010-05-06T20:30:00.001-07:00

Success in business relies on being able to find a service or product void and filling it. Far too many businesses fail because they have entered a crowded marketplace where market share is difficult to chisel away from existing players. However finding a under-served population is often the key to success.

I recently uncovered a tremendous underserved marketplace while doing research on Medicaid. It seems Medicaid recipients are no longer covered for preventative dentistry.

Do not stop reading if you're not a dentist. The theory here applies across business sectors. Also, instead of writing this off as an unprofitable demographic, connect to your creative juices.

New or struggling dentists could easily fill this void in several ways -- methods that extend beyond the field of dentistry. Here are just a couple of ideas:

Donate your services. Giving back to the community is a noble entrepreneurial effort. It may seem counterintuitive to the retailer struggling to stay alive or to the entrepreneur trying to pay their bills. However it is a great way to feel good about yourself while helping the community. You can view it as a networking opportunity for a way to build experience - either provides benefits to your business. A dentist selecting to go to group homes, special education classrooms, or senior centers do not just provide a valuable service to people unable to afford them. They make a lasting impression on managers, employees, and relatives of the patients.

Form a team. Coordinate a team of competitive or complementary businesses to help fill the void. "Doctors without Borders" is comprised of hundreds of experienced doctors giving their time to help underprivileged individuals in Third World nations. In doing so they have formed professional and personal bonds of great benefit to themselves as a support network, referral network, and mentoring.

You may enter this "Give Back" world with philanthropic motives or with the goal of building your business. It truly doesn't matter which is your motivation -- just do it. If your goals are less than noble once you get involved your heart will melt as you witness changed lives.

Custom Rack Card Printing - Tips For Successful Hotel Marketing

2010-05-04T02:31:00.001-07:00

Rack cards are among the most powerful marketing tools that you can use to promote your hotel business. These can be designed using eye-catching colors and graphics and contain interesting text to represent your business' marketing message. Designed to be consumed in a quick manner, people can easily understand the message that you want to convey. The tricky part, though, starts with choosing designs that suit your hotel marketing message and those that will stir up interest among your prospective clients.

Custom rack card printing is just perfect when you need to create unique and interesting promotional materials for your prospective hotel patrons. You can have custom designs that are tailored to fit your hotel's brand, mission and vision, etc. Custom options like tear-off portion to use as coupons, tickets, or as business card are also available.

Things to Consider for Successful Rack Card Marketing for Hotels

Always consider your target audience before you design your rack cards. The first thing that you should do is to identify the demographics that you want to target with your promotion. Do you want to promote your hotel as a luxurious, first class accommodation or one that is casual and homey? Your design should depend on what image you want your hotel to portray. It would be best to include photos of your hotel's room accommodations and facilities to give emphasis.

Don't forget to include the purpose of the prints when planning your design. Are you going to use your prints to attract a different kind of market other than the one you currently have? If, for example, your hotel is one that boasts of luxurious and first class accommodation but wants to dedicate a floor or two to those patrons who are looking for accommodation with a cozy feel to it, you need to have a separate promotion for this.

Highlight the benefits that your hotel can give prospective clients. People don't want to read a novel about the history of your hotel or even the awards that you've had in the past. These hotel patrons want to know why they should stay in your hotel. Tell them about the facilities and the amenities that you offer your clients. Also, don't forget to include value to your prints. You can include offers like 10% discounts on 3-night stays, free breakfast, etc. Your prints can also include travel tips for tourists like things that they should know about the town, great destinations to check out, where to enjoy great foods or hang out and party at night.

Study the competition by collecting their print materials and pooling data to know which designs and concepts work and which don't. Based on these data, you can create a concept for your rack cards - make sure to create even better prints.

Custom rack card printing can be the best promotional printing materials that you can use for your hotel marketing, but only if you know the right things to do. These tips can help you avoid the pitfalls and successfully use your prints to get more patrons for your hotel.

Acrylic Menu Holder

2010-05-01T08:31:00.001-07:00

An acrylic menu holder is one of the vital supplies to have in a food business whether it is an upscale fine dining restaurant, low-key diner, homey deli or hip and happening bar. This compact unit of several inches of mostly clear acrylic and varying sizes, pocket sizes, and designs is a functional tool for both business operations and business marketing.

As a practical item, such item keeps printed materials on a dining table organised and neat. Menu, leaflets and promotional ads will not be an eye sore when stacked in an acrylic menu holder as opposed to when merely placed on the table, which oftentimes end up strewn all over, soiled or spilled with food and drinks.

The materials are also sorted out from the regular menu to the promotional ones, such as lists of special offers, wines list, and restaurant specials. Customers will have an easier time looking at the food and drinks selection, also depending on their preference. Those who want to have the distinctive offers will simply pick out the specials list. Regulars who want to check their favourites will just open the menu to the familiar page. Those who want to start with an aperitif will just peruse the wines list. Hassle free, convenient and organised!

As a marketing tool for business, an acrylic menu holder is versatile for advertising what's on the menu, promotions, special events and other business activities. Although the advertising itself will be dependent on the hard materials, the holder is a partner in sending the message across. Printouts will be more noticeable when placed in a menu holder, exuding efficiency and professionalism. Eye-catching and creative designs will be of no use if papers are to be disregarded or left untouched on a table. The information would not reach its target audience. With an acrylic menu holder on the other hand, particularly with its transparent, easy-to-see feature, messages become more perceptible, and because of the precise orderliness, promotional materials send off an important vibe prompting them to be easily acknowledged.

In addition to the promotion of a business' products and services, printing a business name and logo on this item in plain sight is a savvy advertising method of making a name known. As they say in business, the more visible you are the better. The stronger your name recall gets the better. Being a familiar name to consumers can generate sales and help bring in more profits to your company.

Don't worry about spending too much budget on acrylic menu holders. Compared to other advertising means, utilising these items to promote your business is way more affordable. In fact, it is a cost-effective way of spreading the word about your business and what it has to offer. Order more pieces and you might even get a good bargain from your supplier. Now that is what we can call a win-win situation. To be more philosophical - you'll have a cake and eat it too. All because of an acrylic menu holder.

NFL Marketing Misfire?

2010-04-14T20:30:00.001-07:00

As the latter end of the year approaches, the NFL season starts, and it's a good time to look at the niche marketing potential of football, and an opportunity missed by the NFL...?

I remember when I first started in affiliate marketing, one of the first big successes I had came with NFL gear. I found that people searched in big numbers for specific team merchandise, and it was possible to market to just those people, and provide them what they wanted.

For example, I found a site selling replica helmets that had an affiliate programme.
I joined it and set up links to specific products, maybe a Dallas Cowboy helmet.
Then I used pay per click advertising, so the ad was only shown to people who typed 'Dallas Cowboy helmet' into Google.

This is classic niche marketing, I didn't even have my own website, and the model can be followed today, just as it can in many other niches.

What I find a bit surprising though, is that in all the years I've been following football from over here in Britain, I don't see that many changes in the jersey or helmet designs.

If you look at soccer in Britain, the teams have 3 different new shirts every season, which is nothing other than getting the fans to buy over.
Of course they do, so as not to look out of date, the sales justify doing it and so it happens the next year and the next.

The basic traditions of the shirt stay the same, but there are noticeable differences.

Why don't the NFL do this?
With a soccer shirt costing around $100, it's big money for the clubs.

In the NFL the difference is that the teams are a franchise of the NFL, and it's the NFL that holds the rights.

That still doesn't explain why the NFL doesn't do it.

Then of course you have the helmets as well.
I reckon it's a glaring miss by the NFL, a drop in the end zone.

I'll still be making money from niches like NFL merchandise, but every time I see the jerseys I'd love to see something new.

The 2 liter bottle is only shown to display the strength of the bottle carrier's gift card material, and the strength of the carrier's design. - A water bottle carrier is hidden in the small coin pocket of a pair of blue jeans pants until needed for hiking, walking, concerts, etc. This small bottle clip stays within the pocket through washing and drying cycles... or may be more permanently affixed with sewn thread or riveted or fastened with almost any type of lapel pin or body jewelry.

Printed Balloons - For Your Website Promotion

2010-04-03T20:15:00.001-07:00

Printed balloons are one of the easiest ways to promote anything. If you have a website that you would like to promote more in your local environment, you can use printed balloons to help accomplish this goal. When you do, you will find that the balloons are designed to be one of the least expensive yet one of the easiest ways to promote your website. Promotional products like this may only serve your needs one time, unlike other items that work long term. Yet, for some events, using balloons just makes the best sense. Here are some ways in which you can use these balloons to help accomplish your goals.

Trade Shows

One of the best ways to use printed balloons is to incorporate them into your trade show location. If you are going to the latest logging convention, for example, you may do well by using a few well placed balloons to help draw attention away from other, perhaps even larger, venues and draw it into your own location. People are normally attracted to balloons and are likely to want to see what is going on where those balloons are. Plus, in crowded trade shows, the balloons can tower over everyone else which means that you will be able to get more attention drawn to you. People can also see your promotional message from across the room, making a note to visit your website.

Give Them Away

Perhaps the best way to use printed balloons is to give them away. Have them blown up and give them away to the kids of parents who come to you. You can often put up a table at your local community fair. Give out the balloons at the park on a busy Saturday afternoon. Find local venues where you can just give them away. Chances are good that after a long day playing the park, mom or dad will come home, relax with their kids and at the same time will notice the balloon in the corner and look up your website printed on it.

Printed Balloons: Creating A Draw

In order to get the most benefit from the printed balloons promotion you are providing, make sure that the design of the balloons gives the best impression. For a website, you definitely want to include the website address. Then, include a range of information without overpowering the balloon. Printed balloons will do well if you lure them in. For example, you may want to include a question or a unique phrase that gets them thinking. For example, if you are running a sports related website, include a question about fantasy football teams. You are sure to intrigue people enough to get them to your website.

Perhaps the biggest reason that printed balloons work so well is because they are inexpensive. They also can be easily printed in a number of corporate logos, website logos and much more. You are able to grow your business successfully when you use tools like these printed balloons to help get word out.

Marketing Lessons from the Business of Football

2010-03-23T19:00:00.001-07:00

People don't go to football games to watch football. Oh, a few people do, but not enough to come close to filling the stadium. To find out who the pure fans are, you'd have to do away with the video screens, the mascots, the cheerleaders, the halftime shows, any foods more exotic than hot dogs, soft drinks and peanuts, and then see who's left in the stands. Would you still buy a ticket?

Football is more than a game; it's also a business. The business of football has grown because the promise included with each ticket has grown to appeal to more than just the pure fans. Does your business cater solely to your pure fans? If so, you're sitting on a tremendous growth opportunity.

No One Wants Your Product

We forget that people don't really want our product; they want what they can do with our product. Take coffee as an example. If we focus on the coffee itself, it's easy to get caught up in the price per pound or per cup, and the qualities that make coffee taste good or bad. Yet when we think about what we can do with the coffee, those factors become almost insignificant.

The place where coffee is served (the coffee shop) becomes the backdrop for a social event with friends or business acquaintances; the price of the coffee becomes insignificant. Perhaps coffee is the warm, comforting friend that accompanies us on our journey into the new book we just picked up at a Barnes and Noble book store. Whenever we buy coffee or football tickets or your product or service, we are buying much more than what the label on the package indicates.

Get a Feel for the Game

Football organizations discovered long ago they can enjoy significant boosts in business by looking at all the ways to serve their customers during a football game. By expanding the core product -- the game on the field -- to appeal to a larger audience, their market grows beyond the pure fans to include their spouses, other family members and their friends. In the process, football organizations enjoy multiple up-sell opportunities while engendering customer loyalty that keeps fans coming back. You don't have to love football to love going to a football game.

While your product or service may not be as flashy and exciting as football, you can apply football's marketing lessons to improve your market share, revenues and profits. If you don't, you risk seeing your sales fall flat and watching business go to your competition. If companies can apply these marketing principles to a product as simple as coffee, you can win using these strategies, too.

Unfortunately, we may be too close to our product to successfully apply these principles. We likely know the features and benefits of our product inside and out, and understand all the things our customers can do with our product. What's more important is that we step back and work to understand how people feel while using our product. Find out the feelings your customers associate with using your product or service, and then think of ways to give them more of those feelings. Here are three ways you can do that.

1. Ain't I Social!

Many people use a product or service as an excuse to get together with other people. Football tickets, coffee shops, birthday cakes, bowling leagues - people may buy these products solely to enjoy the feelings they get when they're experiencing them with other people.

Think of ways to get people who share a common interest in your product or service to socialize around it. Consider:

*** Conferences

*** Online chat rooms

*** Reunions

*** Rallies

*** User groups

*** Advanced training sessions

*** Charitable work

Any event, really, can be the perfect excuse for your customers to gather and experience the great positive feelings that will generate customer loyalty and keep them coming back for more.

2. Make it Memorable

When customers have a good experience with your product, they'll want to repeat it so they can recreate those good feelings. Ideally our customers will talk about their experience with their friends and associates long after the experience is over. You can extend the power of this word of mouth effect. Help your customers remember their positive feelings long after the experience that created them is over.

Memories are heightened when emotions are involved. The stronger the emotions, the stronger the feelings, the longer and more powerfully we remember them. At football games we watch instant replays of key moments; the turning points and dazzling plays worth remembering. We buy programs that allow us to engage at a deeper level with the personal aspects of the players. Sometimes we're provided with heart-stopping opportunities to win prizes. Souvenirs allow us to take the football game home with us; we can relive the feelings we had at the game simply by looking at or holding our souvenir.

Get your customers emotionally involved so they'll long remember the positive experiences they have with your product or service.

*** Provide mementos.

*** Give them a chance to win something.

*** Deliver a nice surprise they don't expect.

*** Give them moments with industry celebrities.

*** Take pictures, especially of them, to give them vivid reminders of the great experience they had.

Do these things, and they'll do business with you over and over again.

3. Include the Fringe

Around your core customers -- the pure fans -- is a fringe of secondary customers you can easily access. These secondary customers may be spouses or friends of your core customers who are easily reached through viral marketing. Give thought as to how to provide for their social needs and create positive, memorable feelings that will encourage them to try you once and then come back again and again.

The football business has this figured out. The football lovers in a household have an easier time getting to games when their non-football-loving spouse is eager to go with them. That's why a football ticket provides so much more than the game these days. While marketing the game to pure fans is a simple endeavor, football becomes a much better business when the offer is expanded to include the social and emotional aspects that appeal to the secondary market. For example, the Super Bowl has become more of a party than a game. People plan for and look forward to the huge social event that engulfs this championship game. Millions watch the Super Bowl on TV, yet few watch it alone.

Get in touch with your market and work to understand who your secondary customers are. Coffee shops gladly sell tea and soft drinks so their "regulars" can easily bring along their non-coffee drinking friends. Expand your marketing to include these secondary customers and you can boost your sales revenues by 50% and more.

The Game of Change

Football as a game hasn't changed much over the decades. The proposal to permit challenge flags supported by video review was carefully debated by National Football League (NFL) officials before its adoption, all because the League knows this; never alienate your pure fans. They are the bedrock of your business. Keep delivering the solid, consistent product that keeps them coming back for more.

Don't focus on improving your product. Instead, focus on improving the product experience. Once you understand the positive feelings your customers experience by using your product or service, look for ways to extend that experience. Sure, cream and sugar go with coffee. But so does a soft chair and soothing music. So does a well-written book of fiction. So does a table surrounded by family or friends.

Football is a game and it is a business. Look at your business like a game. How does it feel to do business with you today? Make your business social. Make it memorable. Make your business the game your customers are eager to play.

Novelty Pens

2010-03-04T12:00:00.001-08:00

Probably the most popular customer give-away promotional merchandise is the printed novelty pen. Although it has held this position for decades, there is still delight in getting a “free” pen for most people, and as such, it is an excellent choice for a business gift.

Charming animal Pens Moms, dads and children’s will love to have. Animal plastic pens offer a writing instrument that will stand out from rest of the crowed. Available in a choice of zebra or leopard finish with a large print area on clip. Animal plastic pens take just two weeks to produce after the artwork is approved.

When you choose novelty plastic pens for your promotions, you can stand out in the sea of pens and pencils. If you choose properly, the trade show attendees will be using your pen long after they’ve culled the plain stick pens and used up the computer-shaped sticky notes. Carabiner Pens Moms and involved dads will tell you that looking for a pen to write down directions or phone numbers on the road or at the park can be a hassle - because finding a pen in the diaper bag or picnic sack can be next to impossible. Carabiner plastic pens offer a fat writing stick at one end and a convenient carabiner clip at the other. Clip it on the strap of a bag or purse. Clipped to a key ring it’s easy to find on the road or commuter train. Carabiner plastic pens take just two weeks to produce after the artwork is approved.

Bottle Opener Pens Multifunctional pens are always appreciated and few are used more than the bottle opener novelty pen. Users can crack open a bottle of lager or root beer while calling your business to request service. As newcomers to the novelty pen industry, you can be one of the first to give these out. Blue, red, green and orange are the color choices and all come with a matching lanyard. Novelty Pens with Customized Clips You may think that novelty plastic pens with customized, shaped clips are out of your price range but that isn’t necessarily the case. You can design a colored clip in almost any shape you like. Ballpoint ink choices are black or blue ink and all tooling for a single shape are included in the price.

Brochure Printing Labor Day Design Tips

2010-03-01T18:00:00.001-08:00

Labor Day represents an excellent opportunity for a brochure printing campaign to draw new customers to your business. Labor Day is a holiday that celebrates the hard work of the American workforce. So make sure you incorporate these design elements into your Labor Day brochures.

Colors

Labor Day has a unique color scheme that many people forget. For example, most unions - a key reason that we celebrate such holiday - incorporate dark gray and dark blue into their color schemes. Incorporate into your printing process the reds, oranges, and softer blues that also connect with the autumn tones that this holiday is usually associated with.

Patriotic

Of course, Labor Day is also an American holiday, so incorporate patriotic themes and colors into your brochure printing campaign. You cannot go wrong with red, white, and blue background colors and other patriotic elements. Do not be afraid to remind your customers that your business is "Made in the U.S.A." and to support local businesses.

Action!

Make sure to incorporate a call to action in your message. A sale is a common promotional technique to get people into the store. Consider cooking hamburgers and hot dogs while throwing a football party. These are just a few ideas, so get creative and give your customers a reason to get out of their houses and into your store.

Folds

Brochure printing creates a unique opportunity to incorporate different kinds of paper folds. Different folds allow your customer to be guided through a process and to present information in smaller phases. Folds also give you the opportunity to develop brochures on larger format paper. 9X12, 11X17, all the way up to huge 33.75X11 are all large format brochure printing sizes that can easily be folded and still give your customer a compact brochure.

The Championship League

2010-02-24T05:30:00.001-08:00

The Football Championship League which is often called 'The Championship' for short, is sponsored by Coca-Cola which means that it's official name is the Coca-Cola Football League Championship. It is the Highest Division in the Football League and the second highest overall in the English football league system. The highest being the Premier League.

The Football League Championship came into being for the 2004-2005 season having been known prior to that as the Football League First Division. The league is made up of 24 teams who each play a total of 46 games through out a season. A single season runs from August of one year, through till May of the next year. During this season, the 46 games that each team plays are made up of them playing each other team twice. One of these games is played as a 'home' game - at their own stadium, and the other as an 'away' game - at their opponent's home stadium.

When a game is played, the team is awarded points based on whether they win, draw or lose the game. They receive three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points if they lose the game. These points are used to rank the teams in the league table. If two or more teams have the same number of points, then the goal difference and then goals scored is taken into account in order to rank them correctly.

At the end of the season, the team with the highest number of points is the league champion. The two teams finishing in the top two positions are promoted into the Premier League and the bottom three teams are relegated to Football League One. Also, the teams finishing in positions 3, 4, 5 and 6 compete in the Championship playoffs. This is a knockout competition, with third place playing sixth place, and fourth and fifth place teams playing each other, with the winners of each match playing a final match against each other. The winner of this game win promotion up into the Premier league as well as the Championship playoff trophy. The three teams who have been promoted are replaced in the division by the three teams relegated from the bottom of the Premier League. Likewise at the bottom of the league table, the three teams that have been relegated to Football League One, are replaced by the teams who have been promoted from there into this league ready for the next season.

A fairly large percentage of the league's revenue comes from television rights. The television rights for the Football League Championship are currently held by Sky Sports who have bought this exclusive right until the 2009-2010 season when they will show 65 matches live. The BBC will at that time also show 10 live games per season. The three year contract deal is worth a total of £264 million that will be paid mostly by Sky.

Where to Buy Customized Energy Drinks

2010-02-15T23:30:00.001-08:00

Looking for customized energy drinks to put your logo on? Many companies in San Diego Graphics provide just that and more! They cater to all your graphical advertisement needs, whether it is exclusive energy drinks or custom sports drinks.

Imagine someone waking up to a can of energy drink with your company's ad on it. Considering it's probably the first thing he/she sees that day, it's bound to get attention. Wouldn't that be a great way to get noticed?

Now to design your ad you need to keep in mind a few fundamental facts. You can use every kind of color possible, but it's a good idea to utilize those colors which after seeing would stir the consumer's brain. You don't have to get too drastic with the color combinations, as long as you can safely make an impact with the artwork. After choosing which colors, the design is given PMS color matching and high gloss color printing.

A smart slogan is the key to every successful campaign and energy drink ads are no different. Coming up with a slogan which isn't too difficult to understand but manages a laugh from the user is an automatic thumbs up.

Customized energy drinks can be given out at functions, trade shows, conventions, conferences, charities etc. It has proven to be a sure shot way of getting noticed. Having company booths having these customized drinks at these places can add to the event and further boost promotion.

If you're a food franchise, you can serve these drinks in a series of different can designs, as a market strategy, making them limited collector's items, furthermore; they can be easily available and sold at all restaurants. There's no better place to sell these drinks than at a gym or fitness facility, and if you run one, the next time someone needs a drink, after an extensive and tiring workout, hand him your own customized energy drink. Moreover, to add some value to it, for every membership you could give him a discount on his consumption of energy drinks.

Car shops and dealerships can give out all the necessary information on these drinks to make the consumer interested enough to give their shop a visit. Clothes stores and related clothing companies can make special offer slogans on cans and give them out as a promotional strategy. Multinational companies and corporations can give free drinks to employees or at conferences to their clients, making a statement in the process. Supporters of football clubs and other sports teams, giving out free energy drinks at home matches with their logos on them, will pump the supporters even further, helping to drive their team to victory. A lot of well-known websites, blogs and social networks have also done marketing through these means of energy drink promotion.

If you think about it, almost every kind of company can gain from marketing their services or products through customized energy drink advertising. There are various companies in San Diego, your promotion is their top priority.

Learning About Office Pools - Part 3 - Soccer Pools

2010-02-13T05:30:00.001-08:00

Soccer is all the rage outside of the United States; a weekly soccer office pool that's been around for years is most popular in England. The English Premier League has worldwide recognition, and with gambling being mainstream in England, it's a natural fit. Much like in the United States, in England there are bets placed on single match-ups (fixtures), match-up groupings (office pools), and championship match-ups (tournament cups).

The regular season for the English Premier League is 38 weeks long beginning in August and ending in May each season. Each of the teams within the premier league plays each other twice, both at home and away. Premier league office pool is a weekly prediction pool in which a player makes an educated guess to the outcome of each match up; pick the winner or a draw (no winner). Every week there are six to 10 fixtures.

During the months of June and July, leagues throughout Europe play single elimination tournaments to declare an overall champion. In England there are both the Carling Cup and the FA Cup (Football Association Challenge Cup). The Carling Cup is really the league cup and sponsored by Carling, though in the past it's been sponsored by Coca Cola soft drinks and the Littlewoods retail and gambling outfit. Carling Cup is run by the league and only allows limited entries; 20 from the Premier League and 72 other teams are selected. The FA Cup was established in 1871 and is much more wide open when it comes to participants. This tournament allows over 700 teams to compete for entry into the FA Cup. As well as being presented with the cup, the winning team also qualifies by right for the first round of the UEFA Cup, unless they have already qualified for Europe in which case the position goes to the runners-up or to the highest placed Premier League side without European qualification.

The DFB-Pokal begins with a round of 64 teams. The 36 teams of the Bundesliga and 2nd Bundesliga are automatically qualified for the tournament. The tournament was established in 1935 and is a single elimination format.

The Coppa Italia (Italy Cup) is an annual cup competition that started in 1922. The format allows for 42 teams in competition which would play in the top 2 levels of Italian football associations Serie A and Serie B.

The Copa del Rey is an annual cup competition for Spanish football teams established in 1902. The naming of this tournament has a storied past which includes: King John Charles I's Cup, King Alfonso XIII's Cu,p and the Republic President's Cup. The tournament is single elimination and teams from upper and lower divisions will get to play against each other but the number of clubs allowed to participate is restricted.

The popularity of European Football is year round between the weekly fixtures and the summer tournaments. Office pools that accompany these match ups are a welcome companion and in some cases a necessary promotional tool.

Envelope Marketing

2010-02-07T17:30:00.001-08:00

Any good business is always looking for a new way to advertise and catch the attention of their customers.

Well, have you ever put much thought into the envelopes you mail out everyday? How many hands touch an envelope before it reaches its final destination? 1, 10, 30? Does it even get opened when it gets there?

Make good use of your envelopes!

1. Make sure you have a complete return address label or pre-printed return address on every envelope. Using a great color label with an image will catch even more attention. You can get these cheap or even free at vistaprint.

2. Turn your attention to your stamp. Yes, that's right, your stamp. That valuable space in the upper right hand corner of your mail is now open for business. You are no longer limited to the flag design carried at your local post office. Photo.Stamps.com lets you create your own postage using photos and graphics. Put your logo, the company president, new product announcement, upcoming event or other eye catching image on your stamps for an even greater marketing impact.

3. Print or rubber stamp a short message on your envelopes. This is a very effective with material that is mailed to persons who inquire in response to an ad. For example, advertise a Free Report. When you receive inquiries about your offer, rubber stamp this message on all outgoing envelopes - 'Your requested FREE Report Inside!'. Or stamp your logo and website on each envelope.

4. You can buy paste-on dots, stars, smiley faces, and so forth, from an office supply store. Place these on your envelopes. But only if you can make it look professional.

5. Make your envelope lumpy. Everyone gets curious about a lump in an envelope and everyone loves free stuff, even if they do not need it. For example, inexpensive pencils, pens, plastic pocket calendars, etc. For best results, try to tie the object in to your offer and make it something people will use over and over.

6. Penny for a buck offer. Another very cheap way to make your envelope lumpy is to tape a penny to your sales letter. Then, in the sales letter, offer to give your prospective customer a discount - perhaps $1, $5 or $10 - in exchange for the penny.

7. If you are using window envelopes, print the address on a coupon that looks like a check.

8. Use larger than average envelopes. This is expensive, but the envelope will stand out from crowd.

Be creative and market with every envelope you mail!

Final scores were Fitzroy 19-16-130 defeated Whitefriars 8-4-52. The Roy's started strong maintaining an aggressive approach on winning the football. Our defence operated well and we were able to cause Whitefriars to turn the ball over giving us opportunities to go forward and score. It was an impressive team display in the first half. Fitzroy went into the half time break having kicked 9.10 against Whitefriars 1 goal 1 behind. The team came out and played well in the third quarter keeping Whitefriars to limited forward opportunities, but Whitefriars were taking these opportunities and began to put some scoreboard pressure on us. Matthew Biggs chipped in with a timely goal late in the third quarter to steady the team. It was a tight quarter, but Fitzroy won this one as well. Ross Borland had a day out in difficult conditions with the wind gusting throughout the day - he finished with 8 goals and had assistance from Milos Zika kicking 3, Andrew Seddon and Oliver Stolz with 2 and 1 goal to each of Matthew Biggs, Conor Dullard. Matthew Mackay and a cracking checkside goal from James Taylor. The best for Fitzroy - The whole team! It was a proud day for all Fitzroy supporters who witnessed a united team performance, with players prepared to get in for the hard ball and to back up and support their team mates. The Preliminary Final will be played this Saturday against Werribee, who Fitzroy defeated in Round 14 by 5 goals at the bees home ground earlier in the season.

Fall Football Promotions - Use Promotional Products To Score A Winning Season

2009-12-31T05:30:00.001-08:00

Fall is just around the corner, and that means the return to school, shorter days, and of course, football season. Millions of Americans plan to watch their favorite high school, college, and professional teams battle for victory on playing fields throughout the nation. Of course, not everything is decided on the playing field, so if you want to make sure that your business the strongest season possible, you should plan on using promotional products. Let's take a look at some of the ways promotional products can make your football season a success.

Increase Attendance: Few things can give your team home field advantage like having your stands erupt into a deafening roar after a big play. So to get your stands bursting at the seams, you need to use a strategy that people have been using for ages—promotional products. A well designed promotion can advertise the game with the promise of exciting promotional products. No matter what specific product you decide to use, fans will appreciate the idea. Everyone loves free stuff, and you can be sure that your attendance numbers will rise once you incorporate promotional products into your marketing strategy.

Promote Team Spirit: Going to a football game is about more than what happens on the field, it's an experience that brings fans together. When a stadium full of people are rooting for the same team, you know that you are part of a community. By giving out boom boom sticks, cushions, and apparel, you can create team pride and make going to the game more of an event. Fans will be able to easily recognize one another, and it's sure to put people into the game day mindset.

Don't let your team down this football season. Make sure that your stands have more spirit than the competition by using promotional products. Your team will have extra support, and your business will grow as a result!

A Superbowl Party of Football Cheer

2009-12-20T05:30:00.001-08:00

Spectator sports are a favorite past time of people all over the world; football and its granddaddy championship game, the Superbowl, is probably one of the most watched event. The game of football has been in existence since the 1800s, but the Superbowl has only existed since January 15, 1967. The playoffs, which precede the Superbowl, are big games, but even people who don’t watch football during the rest of the season look forward to the big game. The Superbowl has become one of the biggest events for family and friends to get together.

Since the Superbowl features the two best teams in the NFL, it is very likely that the partygoers will share in their desired chosen winner of the game. In this case, purchasing a decorations and accessories package that includes banners, plates, napkins, and party favors is a great idea. Everyone can wear jersey or other gear of the football team. If the guests are rooting for different teams, decorating can be a bit tricky, but still doable. If the area where the game will be watched is large enough, an idea for decorating for both teams is to have separate banners and use plain cups and plates in the colors of the respective teams.

Food is usually a significant part of a Superbowl party. The big game is typically held some time between lunch and dinner hours. Balancing the food offerings with snacks and a filling entrée is recommended. Chips and dip, Buffalo wings, veggie or fruit trays, and finger sandwiches are great snacks for a Superbowl party. For a main entrée, nachos, chili, and similar filling, but light meals are a good idea. Beverages of all kinds are typically served at Superbowl parties. Beer is the staple, but wine coolers, and non-alcoholic beverages should be easily accessible for mixed crowds. Once the party is set up, all that is necessary is for the game to begin!

Was Mona Lisa a Real Person?

2009-12-17T11:30:00.001-08:00

The Mona Lisa was originally identified as Lisa Gherardini as early as the mid 16th century when Vasari put together his biography of Leonardo Da Vinci and described the Mona Lisa. Everyone was intrigued to know "who was the model" for the Mona Lisa and in Gherardini, she was believed to be found.

Born in 1479, Lisa Gherardini was raised in the Villa Vignamaggio in Tuscany, where she lived until she was eventually married at the age of 16. Her new husband, Francesco del Giocondo took her as his third wife in 1495 and very soon the two started their family. Giocondo was a silk merchant in Florence and it was there that the two most likely met Leonardo and the inklings of the Mona Lisa were first concocted.

Who Was Mona Lisa?

Little is known about the woman known as Lisa Gherardini and until recently, it was not even verifiable that she ever existed outside of Vasari's biography. In a recent book published by Guseppe Pallanti titled Mona Lisa: Real Woman, the Italian historian outlined and gathered evidence that supported much of what Vasari wrote almost 500 years ago.
His research suggests that the origins of the working relationship were born when Leonardo's father likely commissioned the painting. Pallanti suggests that he was great friends with del Giocondo and that it was highly likely that he might have done such a thing as he had done in the past with Adoration of the Magi.

Gherardini herself would have been 24 years old in 1503 when Leonardo started work on the painting, coinciding with the birth of her second son. The evidence in the painting itself suggests that the model was possibly pregnant. Pallanti went on to gather evidence that reveals the actual burial place and death certificate for Gherardini in Sant'Orsola, a convent in Florence. Deceased on July 15, 1542 she was 63 years old and had raised five children with del Giocondo in her lifetime, whom she outlived.

If Not Gherardini, Then Who is the Model for the Mona Lisa?

The original source of Vasari has long been disputed as he lived and wrote after Leonardo's death and after the painting had been removed from Italy. For that reason, numerous other theories have been postulated to explain who the model might be.

One such theory is that Leonardo himself is the subject of the painting. This theory has been presented using existing self-portraits of the artist as supporting evidence. Unfortunately, the supporting evidence is still rather thin as others still will argue that Leonardo often used the same facial structures in his painting and a few scholars have even argued that the purported self-portrait might actually be a portrait of Leonardo's mother.

An interesting idea is that although the painting is of Lisa Gherardini, the inspiration for the face comes from Leonardo's assistant, Gian Giacomo Caprotti, also known as Salai.

In a portrait of Da Vinci's famous assistant, Salai, possibly painted by Da Vinci himself, Salai's features are portrayed as being very feminine and childish. Da Vinci was not alone in his view that men who should be considered beautiful and youthful should lack the usual characteristics that we would associate with maturity and masculinity, this view was held almost universally by the Renaissance painters, and is much in evidence in the numerous paintings and drawings of angels that were produced during this time. A charcoal sketch of an angel by Da Vinci, probably done as a preliminary sketch for portrait of St. John Baptist, is believed to have been modelled by Leonardo's "Little Devil" Salai. The title of the drawing "Angel Incarnate" would appeal to Da Vinci's sense of irony. Indeed the illusion of the angel appearing sexless is only broken by the addition of an erect penis. In this view the Mona Lisa represents, through his assistant's appearance, Da Vinci's idea of beauty; a blurring of the masculine and feminine.

It should be also noted that because of the likeness between the portrait of St. John the Baptist and the Mona Lisa, it is often hailed as proof that either the model for the Mona Lisa is a man, or that Leonardo wanted to promote the sacred feminine through St. John being painted as a woman.

Other theories include the possibility of different models altogether, including Isabella of Aragon or Constanza d'Avalos. Both women were at one time acquaintances of Leonardo and had commissions with him. Isabella in particular was very persistent to have Leonardo complete her commission, and of the two sketches he did of her, Da Vinci kept one copy to himself, refusing to return it despite her pleas. Additionally, a painting of Isabella by Raphael greatly resembles the Mona Lisa. While theories abound though, it is still largely believed that the true face of the Mona Lisa is Lisa Gherardini.

How to Make Money Online and Offline

2009-12-16T11:15:00.001-08:00

Perhaps you have a hot date you want to impress but you ran out of cash to do it. Maybe you need some extra dollars to repair your car or pay the electricity bill. No matter what problems you bother with and what reasons you have, making extra money soon becomes your priority. There are plenty ways to make money using online and offline methods.

Online Opportunities

The first place to look for income opportunity to make money fast is your own house. Maybe it's time to clear off some items that you have no longer use for but that can be still found valuable by the others. Online auctions are so popular nowadays that people sell almost everything they can to make some extra cash fast. Also there are free classifieds sites where you can post an offer with your product for sale.

If you have some special skills in writing, design or something else then you can start selling your services on the web. There are plenty of companies that will be glad to use your skills. Also you can search for the companies that will pay you for writing articles or doing posts on blogs or forums for them, so that you will be able to make money faster the easy way.

There are also other online income opportunities that will let you make money, however many of them require some time investment and effort so you can't expect quick cash flow. Some of them will offer you a big income potential however it will take time to earn it. The example here might be pyramid scheme or affiliate marketing, where in order to sell product you will have to learn how to promote it effectively first. So those are also great opportunities but they aren't the best option for making money fast.

Off-line Income Opportunities

There are also plenty of other opportunities to make money fast that don't require using Internet. For instance you can take newspapers distribution in your spare time to make some extra cash just by dropping newspapers in front of houses. Also you could offer you babysitting or housekeeping services to people in your area to earn some more bucks.

Another way is fast food delivery. You could get a position at local takeaway food shop. By delivering food a few extra hours a day you can make pretty nice cash. Some of them often require some extra employees for temporary job when the seasonal food is higly in demand.

So if you really want to make money fast you shouldn't have any problems to position yourself in income opportunity right for you. All you need to know is to find out how much time you can spend on doing extra work and what skills you have to narrow the opportunities and pick the best one for you.

Promotional Pens - How Football Clubs Can Benefit From Using Promotional Gifts

2009-12-11T09:15:00.001-08:00

There are many different ways Football clubs can benefit from using promotional gifts, such as printed pens. Promotional gifts are gifts representing a Club or team name, in order to attract customers and increase the interest of the club. Using promotional pens will help in many ways to do so.

Promotional pens used in the form of advertisement ensure that the Club name is getting around and being seen by everybody. It is common to use personalised pens in settings such as businesses, in shopping areas, or even games of the Club. Also, they can be used as rewards. For example, pens can be purchased by schools and businesses and given away in form of reward for completion of assignments or well-behaviour. Also, they can be distributed at events, or given as incentive. Common examples of this would be at sport events, if you sign up for a credit card, you get a customisable pen. Football clubs can greatly benefit from doing so. In a business setting, the football club could easily leave a box full of promotional pens with various companies in the area, and the pens will eventually circulate out, reaching new potential markets.

People do not generally use or buy pens based on what type of design or writing is on them, they use them as writing utensils. Therefore, somebody is not going to look down and see the football club on the pen, and disregard its use. The pen is going to be used as needed, or distributed to others to use as needed. This generates a new cycle of users which in turn, reaches a new spectrum of potential fans for the football club. Promotional pens are seen as a cheap way of advertisement. It differs from other promotional ways such as making t-shirts, television commercials, and such because the cost is generally cheaper than these. Financially, it is very reasonable to use this form of marketing. Customised pens are also an easy form of advertisement as stated above because the circulation works itself. People give away pens, other people lose pens and find pens, therefore, there is simply no telling where the pen will end up, and where it will turn up. This benefits a great deal to the company because there are many people only semi-serious about Football, so this pen may act as a stepping stone to getting that pen holder to tune in to your games, or possibly purchase some of your apparel. Promotional pens act as a cheap, yet very effective way to mark your Football Club. The reasons listed contribute substantial possibilities of increasing your target market, or bringing new persons to your market.

Promotional pens play the role of an employee buy representing your team everywhere they are seen. They can be customised to your liking and what you feel will most catch the eye of the user.

Play Offs - The Fairest Way

2009-12-05T06:30:00.001-08:00

With end-of-season play-offs in full swing in football and rugby union, the excitement generated is usually accompanied by complaints about the unfairness of it all.

Unsurprisingly, the wronged side is always the one that finished its league campaign higher.

Let's start with the Guinness Premiership. After a gruelling 22 rounds lasting eight months, why shouldn't Leicester Tigers be called this year's champions rather than having to compete in an end of season mini-cup competition? Will third-placed London Irish take that honour?

To answer that we can take a look at Rugby Union's once disowned family member, Rugby League. Play-offs have been prevalent in Rugby League since the Northern Union first split away at the end of the 19th century, when Hunslet and Bradford Northern tied for points at the top of the Yorkshire Competition. It was also used extensively when the two divisions were merged into one and an odd fixture list developed that prevented everyone playing each other twice.

That system ended in 1973 but Rugby League then invented an end-of-season competition, "The Premiership" to generate some more interest. At this point the League Championship was seen as far more important and the new play-off style idea didn't carry much gravitas until the Super League itself was formed in 1998.

Despite the same resistance as is now seen in Rugby Union, it's now accepted in Rugby League circles that the Super League Grand Final winners are the champions regardless of where they finished during the regular season. A lot of this can be put down to the play-off system itself, but more of that later.

Football League teams are also competing for promotion with the Championship (Division 2 in old money) play-off final routinely called the richest prize in football due to its opening up of Premier League bounty for the Wembley winners.

Despite the excitement produced by play-offs there's still a considerable body of opinion opposed to them despite their continued existence since 1987.

To me, the problem is caused by the way they are organised, and this is where the other sports might like to copy the Super League format, itself a copy of the Australian version known as the McIntyre system after its inventor Ken McIntyre.

There are now McIntyre systems for four teams through to eight, but let's see how the four team version differs from the simplistic models used by the Football League and Rugby Union.

In the 1st round the highest two ranked teams play each other with the winner going straight through to the Grand Final, but the loser goes into the next round.

The lowest two ranked teams play each other with the loser being eliminated and the winner going into the next round.

The winner of the second round match goes into the Grand Final.

In this way, the top two ranked sides can each afford to lose a game yet can still make the final. Under this system, a side winning the play-off must beat all the teams that finished above it during the regular season.

This is a much fairer way of doing business and I am surprised it hasn't already been adopted as the standard by other sports.

Whether your team gets itself into the play-off lottery, it can get its football kit, rugby kit or basketball kit from Blue Moon Sport www.bluemoonsport.co.uk.

Customized Athletic Promotional Gifts - School Spirit Idea For Booster Clubs and Athletic Department

2009-12-04T06:15:00.001-08:00

Customized athletic promotional gifts are fabulous for boosting school spirit and pumping up a crowd for the big game. Booster Clubs and school athletics departments looking for ideas to generate fan support often turn to customized athletic promotional gifts. Not only do they make excellent giveaways, they can also be used to stock the school's or team's gift shop and raise money for sports programs, equipment and athletic scholarship programs. They can also outfit the team and create a sense of unity and excitement.

The North American Booster Club Association recognizes the importance of athletics and team spirit in the lives of students everywhere. NABCA's mandate is to promote school athletics programs and the parents who work hard to ensure that those programs continue. The NABCA recognizes that sports and athletics "enhances the educational experiences of all kids." Unfortunately, extracurricular sports programs and school athletics courses are in danger of ceasing to exist in many schools in North America. Budget cuts and lack of outside support are the major reasons for the downfall of school sports. Because of this, the NABCA supports the efforts of booster clubs to maintain school spirit in the face of declining financial support and keep school athletics programs intact. One way to help is through the use of customized athletic promotional gifts.

Imagine stadiums of high school football fans waving customized pennants or pom poms in support of the team at the annual homecoming game. Picture pristine practice uniforms complete with team names and logos on each shirt and pair of shorts. Imagine the noise at your school's next pep rally when students are outfitted with customized whistles and noisemakers, all in support of the school team. Whether you're looking for giveaways or need fundraising products, try these customized athletic promotional gift ideas on for size at your next Booster Club meeting:

Noisemakers: Make some noise in the stands with customized athletic promotional gifts like kazoos, clappers, horns and tambourines. With your school's or team's name emblazoned prominently on the side, there will be no doubt about which side you're cheering for.

Sweatbands, wristbands and bracelets: Sweatbands stitched with your team's name are a great accessory for creating unity amongst sports team members. They're also highly practical for both games and practices. Wristbands and bracelets are excellent items to carry in your school's spirit store. Or, simply take orders from students and parents for a spirit-boosting fundraiser.

Practice uniforms or gym strip: Your school's or team's name on shirts, shorts, socks and other athletic wear will let everyone around know that athletic programs are supported at your school.

Jackets and outerwear: The game must go on, even when it rains. Team jackets will keep athletes and fans alike warm and dry on game days when the weather is less than ideal.

Sports/duffel bags: Keep balls, equipment and uniforms together and tidy with a team-logo duffel bag. They're handy for transporting equipment, especially to away games. Drawstring bags are a convenient way to carry shoes or practice clothes.

Best of all, customized athletic promotional gifts are economical. It's important to make the most of your Booster Club's budget. Parents work hard to raise money to ensure that their children will have athletics programs to enrich their lives. Customized athletic promotional gifts let students and fans know that sports are important and that parents, teachers and coaches care.

Set Yourself Apart - Utilize The Holiday Momentum, A Quarterly Guide To Retaining Customers

2009-11-29T04:00:00.001-08:00

The holiday hustle and bustle is now over and it is already the end of January. Most companies spent most of November and December searching for the perfect holiday cards and or gifts that best represent their company and its employees. Although this is a nice gesture, the mistake that most companies make is that they stop there. Separate yourself from the companies that generally stop all correspondence after the holidays and follow these 4 easy steps to maintaining that holiday season relationship year round.

First Quarter: Send all of your customers a newsletter informing them of your successes from the previous calendar year, an event that took place in your city, an article regarding the industry that you are in, maybe a funny anecdote or two and most importantly goals for the New Year and the strategies of how you are going achieve them. Your customers are counting on your success just as much as you are counting on theirs. They want to know that you will be there providing a great service for years to come. The newsletter should be a basic 2-4 pages, no longer. You do not want to bore the customer, but want to keep them interested in your business enough to spark conversation.

Second Quarter: Send your customers a promotional item with your company name and logo on it. Inexpensive useful, everyday items can be sent, and used by your customers on a daily basis. This will keep your name and logo in front of your customers at all times. Pens, pencils, letter openers and scratch pads of paper are perfect examples of promotional items that customers or clients could use every day all year round. The items will not only keep your name and logo in front of them, but also anyone who walks by or is in contact with them will get a look.

Third Quarter: Keep it fun! This is the perfect time of year to play a game and win a prize. Send your customers a word game, a trivia game, football season will just be getting started, send a Monday night pick'em game for the entire season and give the prize away at the end of the season. This will keep your customers involved and more importantly having fun with your name associated to it.

Fourth Quarter: This is the time to send your best holiday card and or gift. At this point you will no longer just be another card on the wall or gift in the next company give away. Having formed an outstanding relationship beyond the great service that you provide will give your card and or gift a new meaning. It will not be just another vendor sending a once a year forced correspondence, it will actually be appreciated and recognized.

Follow these simple quarterly examples of correspondence and witness the lines of communication reach a whole new level. Customers will be calling you looking for advice and suggestions. Retention will be at an all time high, and sales people can actively seek new customers without worrying about losing the existing customers.

Brands that Scored with World Cup

2009-11-27T03:32:00.001-08:00

If there ever was a time for brands to jump on the sports brand wagon World Cup 2006 was it. Even though this year’s games garnered record per-game viewership in the millions it is yet to be fully disclosed if viewership equates to an increase in brand awareness and/or sales.

Intuitive brand managers know that visibility and/or sponsorship during high-profile events may automatically equate to an increase in brand awareness but not necessarily sales. In some cases, depending on viewer perception, an increase in awareness could equal a decrease in sales. It bears noting then that companies who are more visible must work as hard as those who are not to ensure that visibility yields a positive return on investment.

Among the 20 brands displayed during one match: Trinidad versus Sweden, five brands were duly awarded for their attempts in connecting with the viewing audience through commercial ads and the potential for their efforts to either convert viewership to sales or increase brand awareness.

The “Best Brand Commercial” award was given to Budweiser. Budweiser received a ten for creativity and product placement in its fan-directed commercial. The company did an excellent job tying in football’s fan-driven enthusiasm and love for the sport with product placement. The end result was a convincing marriage between football and Budweiser beer, brand awareness, and positive sales potential. The “Best Overall Brand Placement” award was given to Adidas who received a score of eight. The company is doing a good job becoming the brand of choice for football wear. This is a solid move as Nike is the dominating brand of choice and sponsor for most other sports especially American football.

Puma’s commercial ranked third best receiving a score of six. The commercial was equally creative and fan-directed but focused on celebrity cameos and children to incite an emotional buy-in to their product. It was a meaningful yet typical approach that easily increased awareness although, not necessarily sales. The “Why am I not Surprised this Brand has Product Placement?” award goes to Coca-Cola. The soft drink company has a knack for edging its way into everything visual including top-viewing reality show, American Idol. Coke’s presence at World Cup seemed to make it an international celebrity. Even though the bottling company’s brand is high-profile, being seen at World Cup may not have an affect on sales beyond the game itself is why the brand received a score of four.

“The Good-Try Brand” award and a total score of two were given to T-Mobile. Although the German company’s garnering of an international audience was creative it was less likely to equate to an increase in sales--an easy conclusion to make given that competitor, Cingular Wireless was voted best for least dropped calls. In the U.S. especially, T-Mobile is famous for dropped calls.

Getting product placement in a highly publicized event such as World Cup is a tactical move. For the 20 plus brands that got on board and the five brands that made an impression, you deserve a hearty, “Gooaall!”

Personal Trainers - How to Use a Fitness Blog to Attract a New Client

2009-11-24T02:15:00.001-08:00

Take a trip around the Internet. Everyone is running a fitness blog. But how many of these sites are really earning dollars for their owners? If you guessed "probably not a single one," you're spot-on. But there are ways to blog for real money. And if you're hosting your own personal-training website, you should be in tune with a few tips on running a business website to generate new customers.

Additional clients, without question, are the most important part of running any growing business. And any tool that can help you attract these new prospects is one that you can't afford to ignore. This is why it's important to start and operate a fitness website. If done correctly, a web page can help you boost your personal training business.

#1 - Deliver Fantastic Content On A Regular Basis

The first step to maintaining a successful web page is to load it up with smart and informative content. If you're hosting a fitness website, you might write about the best exercises for football players ways to recover from a sports injury. You might decide to include recommendations on eating well or your suggestions for the most effective strength-building exercises. Make sure that whatever you post benefits your readers in some way.

The key, though, is to make sure your website is updated on a regular basis. You don't have to write new content every day, but you should add new stories or recommendations on your fitness blog at least three times each week. The only thing worse than not owning your own fitness blog is operating one that you haven't posted fresh content to in a month. Potential clients will look at a quiet blog as unprofessional, and that's never the image you want your business to give.

#2 - Drive Clients To Your Fitness Blog

The second strategy for a successful fitness blog is to make sure that people actually visit it. Potential clients can't read about your thoughts on the most effective cardiovascular exercises if they don't know that your blog exists. Make sure, then, that you actively market your blog. Tell your friends and family members about it. Include your blog's Web address on your professional cards and, of course, on your promotional materials. You can even hang flyers in the windows of local music establishments, banks or other small retail establishments marketing your blog.

A good measuring stick is that you should spend even more time advertising your personal training business' blog than you do writing for it. After all, the best content isn't going to help you find new clients if your blog doesn't get any visitors.

#3 - Make Your Blog Presentable

Finally, be certain that your blog is carefully written. This doesn't mean that you have to hire a professional writer to ghostwrite your blog posts. You want to make sure, though, that your blog isn't filled with misspellings, typos or incorrect punctuation. You may not believe that these grammatical errors matter, but the guests to your site might. It's impossible not to read a blog post marked with misspellings without believing that the business owner behind it is unprofessional.

A blog dotted with professional, error-free copy showcases a business in its brightest possible light. As a fitness center entrepreneur striving to grow a client base, this is the impression that you want to give.

Personal trainers should always consider their options carefully before they create a blog focused on their personal training career. That's because it's not easy to build and maintain a successful site that actually brings business to you. If you lack this time, you might come up with an alternative way to attract new clients to your personal training business. Running a successful blog isn't always a simple task. It does take some work. But if you follow these three tips on using a fitness blog to gain new clients, this effort will result in significant new business.

Send Your Logo Back To School

2009-11-22T16:00:00.001-08:00

For students, the dog days of summer may create a slight knot in their stomachs as they realize the school year is only weeks away. For school teachers, administrators and staff members, it means planning time for the start of the school year has arrived. And for businesses, the new school year gives you endless marketing opportunities.

If you are responsible for ordering your school or school district's supplies, remember that many items such as pens, pencils, rulers, tape dispensers and notebooks are available with your logo, seal or imprint. What a great way to build school pride in your community. And what a great way to raise money! Sell these products at fundraisers, school bake sales, sporting events or to students directly when they return to school.

For faculty leaders, athletic directors, coaches and counselors, you can print your school name and mascot on t-shirts, sweatshirts, tote bags, sports duffels and lunch coolers. Students will wear apparel or carry their book and lunch bags with plenty of school pride. Drawstring backpacks are the hottest items on school and college campuses because they are lightweight, durable and they come in a wide choice of colors.

Teachers will also appreciate custom printed school supplies or even useful school-related gifts. School year academic planners help teachers and school staff members keep organized for assignments, meetings and trips. They'll also enjoy bags to carry books and assignments. And don't forget that teachers like to eat as much as their students, so an insulated cooler pack with a message of appreciation will be used and cherished.

Business and organizations in the community also can benefit from the start of school. Create goodwill by donating school supplies or useful student and teacher items. Not only will you be helping the educational system, but you can add your logo to many items to reach students, teachers and especially parents. It's important to add a tasteful message and not make it into a blatant advertisement - but the opportunities are endless.

Sponsor the football team, or math club. Distribute at colleges to get your message to young adults in the most important demographic.

Now that you have been educated, you can start your campaign for your school or business with custom promotional products.

Signature Brand: Effective Personal Branding

2009-11-21T12:45:00.001-08:00

Name recognition brings back memories. People will remember an individual’s name before they remember the name of their business. This simple fact can gain your business recognition, and give your business the Brand Identity necessary to move into profitability.

So, what’s your name? Is it brandable? Do you have a signature that captures the eye? Is there balance, fortitude, and self gratification in your signature? The list goes on… How many people do you know who recognize your name? What does it mean? Can you identify a thousand people who recognize your name?

By the time most of us reach thirty, there are at least a thousand people in our circle of acquaintances. Of that one thousand people, most know your name, few know what you do, and even fewer have any idea what your business is. On the Internet, recognition is power.

The impact of name recognition on a product, or even simply the use of a personal name on a product can get your product into the market with power-charged identification. Whether your name is highly recognized or not, your signature has value.

Everyone in this generation knows who John Elway is, and why his name is scrawled across the sign of an auto dealership in Denver, but just down the road a piece is another dealership, Phil Long. I may be nuts, but I don’t remember who the heck Phil Long is. But to me, his signature on the sign says he stands behind his product. Whether he was a football player, or a third base man make me no never-mind, but I feel confident walking under his sign and selecting a vehicle from the lot, because I know there’s a real person backing up the product. How do I know? His signature is on the sign. I’ve never met him.

Maximize the Recognition Factor of your Signature Brand. Sign your name on your product. Paul Newman does it. John Wayne did it. Our money is stamped with a name, and the most effective means of transporting information is a signed document. Stamp your Identity on your Business and maximize the recognition factor of name Identification.

What Type of Security Wristbands Are There in the Market Place Today?

2009-11-19T02:00:00.001-08:00

In this day and age where socialising on a large scale (concerts, football games etc.), is pretty much the norm, it can become difficult for those in charge of organising these events to keep tabs on everything. And it can be an especially difficult task with little things like gate crashers and underage drinkers to think about - little things that can sometimes lead to big problems. This is where security wristbands can come in handy. With so many other problems to sort out and deal with, having your back covered at least in one aspect can help to get the organisation of these things under control.

What are wristbands for security though, and how can they help? Well, to make it easier to understand, just bring to mind one of the numerous silicone wristbands so popular these days (such as the famous yellow LiveStrong wristband). Next, replace the silicone band with paper instead, and you will have a rough idea of what these wristbands are like.

However, and this is where the major differences begin, these 'paper' wristbands are not really made of paper, but are instead made of a blend of paper, fibre and fabric. With this method of making paper wristbands (also known as Tyvek wristbands) a number of advantages come to life.

One of these being, that these security wristbands are only single-use wristbands. This is due to the fact that the wristbands are made of paper and can only be fastened onto a person's wrist once. (To wear a wristband all one has to do is peel away the tab covering the adhesive backing, wrap the wristband around the wrist and securely fasten it against the adhesive.) In order to remove the wristband it must be either cut away or torn away thus defacing the wristband. This in turn makes it difficult for these wristbands to be used by multiple people for any single event.

Another advantage of these security wristbands lays in the fact that they can also have a high-security foil on them. This foil can only be seen when using an Ultra Violet light projecting torch or machine, and is a great method for ensuring that no one tries to use an unauthorized wristband. This is an ideal situation especially if you want to prevent underage alcohol consumption in your establishment, event or function. By tagging underage persons with a security foil wristband, it is entirely possible to catch those trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the establishment.

One of the greater advantages of these security wristbands however, comes in the form of its very competitive price tag. Not only are these paper wristbands inexpensive, but if you do not have the time to spend agonising over what design or pattern to have on your wristbands, or whether you want your own logo or message printed on the wristbands you can also order them pre-printed in a variety of colours, and also with or without text or graphics on them. And best of all, you can even get wristbands that have the words 'Underage' or 'Over 21' printed on them to make life easier all around.

Using security wristbands is not only a sound economical decision, it is also a smart organisational move and can help to deal with crowd control issues among other things. Using these wristbands can help to alleviate the pressure of having any event or function run smoothly. After all, one less thing for you to worry about gives you more time to concentrate on other issues!

2009-11-17T08:30:00.001-08:00

When you consider the number of businessmen who play golf, not just socially but during business meetings, it is great way to advertise your product.

Logo Golf Balls are Popular Promotional Items

Logo golf balls are simply golf balls with logos applied. These are available either from stock with your favorite football, baseball or basketball team logo or with the logo of the golf ball manufacturer. Logo golf balls can be also be purchased off the shelf with the logos of a wide variety of companies such as fashion houses, but they are also used as promotional items with your own company’s logo.

Your Competitors Do It – Join Them!

You can have your company logo printed or stamped on golf balls from the manufacturer of your choice. If your competitors are using logo golf balls as free gifts you can’t afford to be left behind. Whenever you attend trade shows, exhibitions or conventions, you will see personalized products being handed left and centre, advertising and promoting one company or another. These giveaway gifts are frequently essential, not only for the promotion of your company, but also to keep your current customers happy. Logo golf balls, with your company name, are guaranteed to keep that name in the minds of most of your existing and potential customers whenever they use that ball on the golf course.

Have Your Golf Ball Promotion Handled Professionally.

Presentation of your gift is also important. Your logo or company name should also be clearly displayed on the gift box, and in order to have this look completely professional, you should employ a professional company, specializing in logo balls, to look after the whole promotion for you.

By doing so, not only will your logo golf balls look good and be presented well, but they may also be regarded as collector’s items, as many are! Your logo golf balls may be proudly displayed on someone’s shelf or in a display cabinet, increasing the exposure of your company.

Should You Use an Online Sportsbook, Or Should You Travel to Vegas?

2009-11-05T15:45:00.001-08:00

Which is better, finding a good sportsbook promotion code and playing online or gambling in a casino in Vegas? Should I use a sportsbook promotion code to play online in the privacy of my own home or work, or should a take a trip to the glitter and excitement of the city that calls itself Las Vegas? Before we can answer this question, we need to clarify why we enjoy betting on sports. Is it the glitter of Vegas? Is it the chance to win cash? Is it the chance to dress in an Armani suit?

I like it when the waitress gives me free drinks. I feel rich, powerful and important. I also feel like I'm getting drunk for free. Oh wait, I am. Sometimes I like the excitement, the flashing lights of the strip. As far as I'm concerned, this is entertainment at it's best. I pay a few hundred bucks to watch a sports game with my girlfriend. I don't mind paying a few hundred bucks for the same level of entertainment from Vegas. I love the $5 lobster dinners and other events that the casinos put on to get you in their doors. For the well heeled gambler that wants to throw their money around, there's nothing that beats Vegas.

All that glitter costs money. There isn't free glitter-in-a-bottle that casino owners can just spray everywhere. It costs money to pay for the cocktail waitress. The $5 lobster dinners need to be subsidized by the craps table. It costs a rather large fortune to build a casino, and pay for the overhead of staff. Casinos also need to pay rent and the costs of the upkeep of a casino. I've estimated these expenses to be comparable with the GDP of many small African nations. And this money comes out of the size of the jackpots and the odds spreads. When have you ever heard of a land casinos giving out a sportsbook promotion code. Maybe it happens every now and then, but the generosity of online sportsbooks is far superior.

University Logo Designs Play a Very Inspirational Role

2009-10-29T02:20:00.001-07:00

A University logo design plays a very inspirational role. A symbol used in the design traditionally reflects the history of the institution. A good logo apart from having a symbol also displays the name of the institution with clarity.

For marketing purposes colleges or universities distribute a large variation of promotional stuff such as pens and pencils, tee shirts, sweatshirts, notebooks, and license plate frames. Your University logo design has to be scaleable to suit all your promotional needs. The logo design has to look good on a business card, on a pencil, and on the billboard at the football arena, for instance. While creating a logo design a designer has to keep these requirements in mind. Special tools are used to ensure that the logo will give third parties no resolution problems in printing. A lot of the printers are not able to open logo files. This is because the designers have not cared enough to provide the appropriate file formats. So always ask for file formats both for print and for electronic media. Get your logo developed in vector if you want a scalable one.

Certain universities use crests and coat of arms that give off a feeling of inspiration for prospective students. Most of these logos use various colors and styles to convey their name to the viewers in an innovative manner. Our designs create a solid visual impact and leave a permanent impression on the viewer's mind.

Universities also use a logo design to communicate their areas of specialization. The various departments of the University can have specialized designs to spell the area of study in an impressive manner. Learn more about your logos at:

Go Pack Go

2009-10-25T09:30:00.001-07:00

The Frozen Tundra - a land of blood, sweat, and cheese. In the history and future of stadiums, there is no better place than Lambeau Field, and no better fans than the Cheeseheads of the Green Bay Packers. A football team that is rich in culture, history, and a team created for the people, the Green Bay Packers are a team like no other. Read further to discover the history of a proud team, as well as hints, links and suggestions on what to buy, where to find, and how to become part of not just a team but an entire culture.

A Brief History of the Green Bay Packers

Dating back to 1919, the Green Bay Packers have stood an icon in the small city of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Started by Curly Lambeau and George Calhoun, the Packers started as a small group of athletes. The Indian Packing Company, where Lambeau worked, agreed to back the team and provide uniforms and equipment. This was the inspiration for the name "Packers" and the team name has been the same ever since. The team played opponents from all around, including Washington and Michigan. As the team continued to win it caught the attention of investors willing to back the team in a new "pro" league in 1920. It was during this period that the team began to see troubles. Battling money, backing, and various other troubles, Lambeau took it upon himself to get other backers and buy the franchise back. After more turmoil, the team's troubles finally settled down and launched them into the "Iron Man" era.

By 1929, the team had settled into a winning pattern. Lambeau began recruiting college players to join the team, and picked up several "unknowns" who proved that they had great talent. With this new "Iron Man" team the Packers went on to win 3 straight championship titles.

Over the next through years the Packer would continue to battle turmoil and grief, seeing financial problems all along the way. In 1935 a man named Don Hudson signed a contract to play with the Green Bay Packers. At the same time he had signed this contract, he also signed a contract to play baseball for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Because the postmark date to the Packers was first, he was awarded to the Green Bay Packers where he would not only help to contribute to the financial stability of the team, but would become a legend in the history of Green Bay.

Over the next twenty years, the Packers saw coaches come and go. It was not until 1959 that the Packers dynasty would see the coach to beat all coaches. Vince Lombardi, who was not well known at the time, was hired to coach the Packers. Coming in with a stronghold on the team, Lombardi made it very clear that he would be in complete control. In 1959, Lombardi won "Coach of the Year" and ended the season with a 7-5 record. Lombardi lead the team to world championships in 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, and 1967. From 1960 to 1967, Lombardi's teams never finished lower than second place. Losing was not an option for Lombardi and is why he is a legend in coaching, even today.

The history continues for the Packers as legends have left their mark on the small city of Green Bay. Check below for additional links to more information about the Packers tried and true history.

Many NFL teams have switched names and cities, morphing into a symbol of corporate greed and personal gain. The Packers, however, have stood the test of time and have remained a team truly for the people. The Green Bay Packers are the only football team in the league to be owned by the people. As such, the team will remain in the city that gave birth to a dynasty.

How to Write a Great Direct Response Letter

2009-10-19T10:10:00.001-07:00

Learn the structure of writing a good Direct Response letter and you are well on your way to building your “list” and selling your products and services. There is some debate as to whether this is a Craft or a Science and this is something we can leave up to the experts, but for our purposes, what matters is that there are important ingredients that must be present in order to write a good Sales letter.

Like any good process there is a Principle. This one has a name and her name is AIDA.

AIDA stands for:

Attention, Interest, Desire, Action.

The first element of a great sales letter is to capture the attention of the reader. This is done in the Headline or title. This one piece of the letter is so important that you can actually purchase headlines or “swipe files” as they are known. If you can arouse curiosity and get the customer to read some more, then the headline has done its job.

Next is the element of Interest. The interest is written into the body of the letter using appropriate copy. Copy is just the text or words that you choose to use. The interest is generally attained by using case studies, examples, history and testimonials, in other words using persuasion by showing proof.

Desire is achieved by showing the BENEFITS of your product or service and what it can do for the customer.

Lastly is Action- this is where there is a call to Action. This is where you ask your reader to give their name or join or purchase the product or service.

There are three more elements that are known to be successful as well.

One is the Post Script or P.S. This has sometimes been so successful that a 30 or 40% conversion rate has been attributed to this element alone.

The Guarantee -- this is not necessary, however, if you can take away any reason that a customer shouldn’t do business with you, it can’t hurt.

There is one more element that you can add and it is called Inducement. This is an ‘offer you can’t refuse’ kind of offer. It may be that if they sign up right now they will receive something of value and it is usually time sensitive in nature.

There are also ways of tracking to see where in the letter you have captured your target. This can be done using tracking devices. You can get these from www.Hotscripts.com or any link tracking on google.

Why not start with these ingredients, tweak it over time and most of all, write from your heart.

Four Proven Methods of Reaching Consumers

2009-10-11T10:10:00.001-07:00

Offering discount deals, online deals and computer deals are just a few of the ways companies can draw consumers in and get them to purchase their products. Advertising is one of the best and most established methods in which companies get increased sales and foot traffic in their stores. Throughout history there have been four main forms of advertising that have proven successful. These methods are advertising through radio, television, billboards and print ads. If a company continually conducts marketing campaigns using these four outlets, they should see positive results.

Advertising on the radio is a great way to connect with consumers while they are driving to destinations. Most people spend a great deal of time driving to and from work, kids' activities and retail stores. Companies can use this time to tell them of sales and other promotions going on with their products. The only downside is radio spots are generally only thirty or sixty seconds. This is a very short amount of time to get a message conveyed. If used properly, these spots can increase the amount of impulse shopping trips a consumer makes. Sometimes radio personalities will also provide verbal endorsements of products too. This type of support adds validity to the products and is proven to increase sales as well.

Television ads are an amazing way for companies to connect with consumers while they are relaxing and sitting down in their homes. Commercials can show people how a product works, what something looks like and where it can be bought. These type of ads may contain celebrity endorsement, catchy jingles and beautiful scenery that help connect with the consumer. TV commercials are an expensive way to advertise but have been proven to be one of the most successful methods of advertising. For instance, the television commercials on Super Bowl Sunday generate more income for a network than the actual football game. Consumers see these commercials as huge entertainment and often are enthusiastic about the products they are representing.

Every driver on highways and interstates cannot miss the huge billboard advertising that is done around most exits and major cities. Billboards are often direct and straight to the point, having little copy or fussy pictures. They must be clear and concise so drivers can see and understand the message. Billboards are especially useful for the restaurant industry. They help notify drivers of their locations, type of food they offer and any specials they are running. If done correctly, this form of advertising can actually make drivers exit the highway, stop in a retail outlet and purchase food or other products.

The fourth marketing method that helps to increase sales and consumer traffic is the use of print ads. These are advertisements that are located in newspapers, magazines, signs in stores and home mailers. Retailers can use images and written words to convey how products look, taste and feel. They can notify consumers of special events where product promotion is taking place and special pricing that may be happening as well. Print advertising, when done correctly, can net increased sales and consumer traffic in a specific store and with a particular product.

Quarterback Camp Or Quarterback DVD?

2009-10-10T03:30:00.001-07:00

Quarterback camps focus on training the quarterback to be the best possible player he can be. Rigorous training that is focused only on the quarterback position provides a foundation for learning the skills necessary to be an effective member of the team.

There are several types of quarterback camps: One day QB camps. Week long camps. And my favorite because you get the best value, a weekend camp. Many people favor the quarterback receiver camps because of the fact that there is someone there to throw to, so the "campers" get real experience on how they need to play their position.

There are quarterback camps all over the country. Although costly, they are a worthwhile investment for anyone showing the drive, commitment, and skills needed to be a professional football player. Some camps are invitation only, while others only require that you sign up and pay the fee. These camps fill up fast though, so it's best to sign up as early as possible.

QB camps are available for all ages. There are camps for children, as well as for professional players. At the kids' camps, professional players sometimes show up to play with the kids, sign autographs, take pictures, answer questions, and give tips on how to succeed.

Not all quarterback camps are created equally. Many camps have NFL quarterbacks come and do meets and greets. Some campers love this while others are not so fond of these camps. There is little drilling and practice, and kids learn little about how to actually play the game. Other camps concentrate on making the kids work hard, drilling, and practicing moves like throwing repeatedly. Your personal preference will decide which camp you will attend.

Quarterback camps are expensive, and they don't last very long. Once the camp is over, the children have to rely on their own memories to help them keep practicing. Most QB camps cost around $350-$550 range.

However, there is now an alternative to traditional summer camps. QB videos cost around $39.

You can now buy QB training videos and DVDs that show you the same QB drills that were taught at the quarterback camp! It is much easier to grasp a concept when you can see it in motion over and over again than it is sitting at a desk without any access to the information you were given.

Video training allows quarterback camps to take place right there in your own back yard, and for a fraction of the price.

Football Laws - Booking a Player For Goal Celebration

2009-10-07T11:11:00.001-07:00

Football referees are now instructed to book players who celebrate excessively after scoring a goal. This rule is not welcomed by most people within the game. It does not take into account the emotion involved when a professional football player scores what could be a vitally important goal for his team. At the end of the season it could be the difference between promotion, relegation or winning a trophy.

There are many areas where football laws and officiating could be improved. Booking a player for goal celebration is quite pointless and invariably leads to players being shown a yellow card or even a red card if it is the second caution of the game. Most experts would agree that the punishment does not fit the crime. Far worse offenses often go unnoticed or unpunished.

When the ball hits the back of the net the supporters feel sheer joy and elation and that is putting things mildly. If it is like that for the football fans then it must be an even better feeling for the player himself. Football players are human beings rather than robots who are devoid of any feelings. It is a purely instinctive reaction that is perfectly natural and harmless. It is part and parcel of football wherever it is played in the world.

The various football governing bodies argue that it is wrong for players to remove their shirt whilst celebrating a goal. This is a petty argument and betrays a lack of understanding of the emotion and intensity involved in top class professional football. The people that come up with such pointless rules have probably never played the game professionally. Perhaps they watch games from the comfort of an executive box.

Booking a player for goal celebration is one rule that the majority of football enthusiasts would like to see scrapped. If players and supporters can no longer enjoy the unique emotion that a goal delivers then something is seriously wrong with the football laws. As long as the player does not jump into the stand amongst the supporters then safety is not an issue. The players and spectators should be allowed to enjoy their brief moment of glory.
