Online advertising in a nutshell

Internet is becoming a very important part of our lives, especially in business. Successful businesses cannot be imagined without a presence on the Internet. Many companies have their own corporate websites and email newsletters, but it’s not enough. Online advertising is the next logical part of every integrated marketing campaign to spread the word about your business.

Online advertising is much different than it was in the early days of the Internet, back in 1995. At the beginning of the online advertising era, the most widely used banner formats were 468×60 pixels, 120×60 pixels, and 88×31 pixels. Several years ago, new ad formats appeared, such as the so-called skyscraper ads. We recommend that you visit the Internet Advertising Bureau to view universal ad packages.

Spending on online advertising is growing exponentially. According to research by eMarketer, in 2005, advertising spend in the US will be over $10 billion for the first time. They predict it will reach $12.9 billion! This is really cool, especially when we know that in 2002, advertising was $6 billion dollars. Three years isn’t a long time, but when it comes to the Internet, it is.

There are many sites that have some ads. They are usually smaller or larger animated images called banners. Online advertising is so oversaturated that many studies show that people have developed the ability to filter ads. The first banner was published on the HotWired website in 1994. It is a famous banner with the text: “Have you ever clicked your mouse HERE? YOU’LL!”

At first, the banners had decent click-through rates, sometimes even 10%. Today CTR is typically between 0.1-0.3%, even lower due to banner clutter.

Marketers needed new models for online advertising, so they started creating Flash ads. With Flash technology, marketers can create interactive ads that look like mini landing pages, and in most cases, those ads have a much better CTR. Flash ads can be seen on many popular portals such as Yahoo! and MSN.

Today, the best results show email advertising and contextual advertising. Email advertising is great if your ad appears in double opt-in email newsletters with targeted subscribers. Good ad campaigns can get 5-10% CTR on email newsletters, even higher in some cases.

Google made a revolution in online advertising by introducing contextual advertising models in its AdWords and AdSense services. AdWords is based on a model where advertisers can choose their desired keywords, so that every time someone performs a search on Google with the selected keyword, their ad will appear in the Google sidebar or at the top of the page. of the search results. This is good because many people don’t see them as advertising, they see them as search results and therefore the CTR is higher. It is pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, so the advertiser only pays when someone clicks on their ad. AdSense, on the other hand, allows publishers to have their ads appear as text only on relevant websites that have a similar target audience to your business. Google AdSense is also great for website owners as they can monetize their website traffic. Recently, it became possible to have Google ads in RSS. This is very useful for bloggers.

Another good option for PPC advertising is to use services like Overture and AdBrite. Overture allows keyword bidding and many popular sites like Yahoo! and MSN use the Overture service for their sponsored search results. AdBrite allows you to choose the websites you want to advertise on.

When you start with online advertising you have to be able to give answers to several questions.

1) What do you want to achieve?

If you don’t want where you’re going, you’ll never get there. You have to know what you want to achieve with your online advertising campaign. It’s like when you make projections in your business plan. You will have to make your Internet marketing plan. Your goals may be to get 100 clients, 2000 subscribers to your email newsletter or anything else. Just be specific and clearly define your goals to achieve them.

2) Where to advertise?

This is the next logical step. Depending on what your goals are, you will choose your target sites. Do you want to use online advertising for your brand? So the good use can be a larger banner campaign on popular ad networks. Chances are you won’t have a high CTR, but a lot of people will see your ad and it’s profitable. If you want a better response rate, the good thing to do is to advertise in email newsletters. If you want to get customers with minimal risk you should use PPC search engine advertising or affiliate programs based on pay per sale.
You won’t choose the same places to advertise if you want to reach newbies and decision makers. You have to know what you sell and to whom. Market segmentation is essential.

You have to choose visited and quality websites. We have listed several useful free services that can help you determine the popularity of the site.

3) Innovative approach

Don’t be afraid to experiment with your ads. We have already said that there are many ads, so you will have many competitors. You want to get the most for your advertising dollars. Test, test, test! Get creative and use technologies like Flash or DHTML to make your ads stand out from the crowd.

4) Words sell

You have to choose a good message for your ads. To clearly define your offer and call to action. Don’t forget to include words like “Click here”, “Sign up now!” and “Free Report” to offer contests for popular devices like the iPod. The good thing is to include interesting questions in your ads, questions that start with “How to…” messages that start with numbers like “7 email marketing best practices”…

things to avoid

Although some people may tell you that popups can bring you a lot of new subscribers, we recommend that you don’t use them. Different studies show that people do not like this technique. Do not make your banner images bulky, they will have a slow loading time. Not everyone uses broadband. Optimize them to have a good loading time. Some people make their banners look like windows dialogs or put a combo box image on their banners to trick their visitors and get better CTR. Don’t use that technique.

Babies and Young Children: Choking Hazards

After your toddler gives up his pureed baby food, he’ll have more grown-up textures. With a rapidly increasing complement of teeth, they are ready to enter a whole new world of eating experiences. Even at this time, there are still some foods that should be kept out of your toddler’s reach because they can be a choking hazard.

Several factors may combine to make your young child more likely to choke on food than older children and adults. Even once they have a complete dentition, their chewing and swallowing are still immature; they are also very likely to swallow food when they are anxious to play again. Sometimes they lean in to eat while running.

To minimize choking hazards, the following foods should be kept out of your toddler’s reach, with a few exceptions: Hot dogs, unless cut lengthwise before cutting crosswise. Hard candies and marshmallows, nuts (especially peanuts), grapes, and cherries, unless you remove the skin and seeds to reduce risk. Firm biscuits or biscuits; you should choose the varieties that melt in your mouth. Whole raw carrots, unless you slice them, same with apples. Other foods that have a high choking risk include popcorn, tablespoonful peanut butter, beans and garbanzo beans (unless pureed), raw celery, and hard raisins.

You can further reduce the risk of choking by insisting that your toddler eat sitting down. Eating while running and even walking, playing, lying down or semi-reclining can present a choking hazard. Since almost any food, including breads and pastas, can cause choking; all young children must be supervised while eating. You should prohibit your toddler from eating any choking food while in the car, especially if there is no adult present other than the driver who could handle a choking incident. You need to be very careful when you have applied teething gel to numb the gums. Until the effects of the anesthesia wear off, your child will not be able to chew normally, so only soft foods should be offered. It is also necessary to discourage him from talking or laughing with his mouth full. This rule will be easier to enforce if everyone in the family follows it.

Even with these precautions, a small child can have choking problems. If your toddler is still coughing, breathing, and crying, you should not interfere, however, if they have been coughing forcefully for more than two to three minutes, you should call 911. If they become quiet and have difficulty breathing, then it is time to begin rescue efforts.

First, if someone else is with you, ask them to call 911 for medical help. Call 911 also if you are not familiar with the rescue procedures, you should have them on the line even if you are familiar with the procedure in case something happens. If your child is awake, you should kneel behind him and wrap your arms around her waist. Make a fist with one hand and place the thumb down in the center of the body, slightly above the navel and well below the ribcage. Take your placed fist with the other hand and press it against your child’s abdomen with a quick inward and upward motion. Each of these pushes should be a separate and distinct movement. Repeat this up to five times or when the object is expelled and your child is breathing normally.

The Cardio Exercise Secret That Drives Lance Armstrong

What is Lance Armstrong doing that you can do to improve your results?

Most people exercise to lose weight, focusing solely on that one goal. Aim

wait, it’s not just about looking aesthetically pleasing, putting on those skinny jeans,

or lose ten pounds. It really is about improving your health and that of human beings.

performance.

Every day, when you’re huffing and puffing on the treadmill, concentrating vigorously

about staying slim, have you ever thought about what it’s like physically

happens in your body besides burning a lot of calories?

For better results, more people need to stop focusing solely on burning calories,

and start thinking about improving fitness values ​​such as VO2 Max, or maximum

oxygen consumption.

What is your VO2 Max exactly? VO2 Max is defined as the highest rate at which

oxygen can be taken in and used during high intensity dynamic exercise. When

you’re doing aerobic exercise on your treadmill, every single muscle

contraction requires oxygen to break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins;

therefore, it provides the energy (ATP) needed to fuel the muscles for movement to take place.

occur.

The human being, at rest, needs 3.5 ml of oxygen, every minute, for each kilogram of body

weight alone to support the cellular activities in the tissues that keep us alive.

Now let’s get back to our treadmill. As speed or incline increases

(intensity), more oxygen is required to transfer oxygen through the blood and

in the muscles. Due to the higher intensity during your exercise session, more

Oxygen is required to start the energy release process.

Now let’s bring the treadmill up to a speed and incline where I can no longer

catch your breath comfortably. The intensity has increased significantly, but you

you have reached an upper limit on the amount of oxygen you can take in. This is

your VO2 max

VO2 Max values ​​differ from one individual to another. Factors such as age, health,

activity levels, training programs, and genetics affect VO2 Max. a sedentary

person has a VO2 Max of about 20 ml of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per

minute of exercise A highly trained endurance athlete may have a VO2 Max of

70 ml/kg/min.

Now why does Lance Armstrong win all those bike races? yes he has a big

training program, a great coach and a great team. However, its genetics for

an endurance athlete is nothing short of amazing. Do you know his VO2?

Max measures around 83-85 ml/kg/min, while that of an average person is around 40?

For Lance, his success is attributed to a combination of great training, will,

desire and incredible genetic makeup.

A super human spear:

1. Lungs – 2 times the capacity of an average person

2. Muscle – Accumulates less lactic acid and is more efficient in

removing it

3. Heart: It is about 1/3 larger with a resting heart rate of 32 beats per

minute, and peaks at around 200 beats per minute.

4. Body Fat: 4-5 percent before the Tour starts, while an average

person has 15-20 percent.

5. Food intake: You need 6,500 calories per day and more than

10,000 a day by biking in the mountains during his 120-mile race.

Truly amazing!

How do you improve VO2 Max? The improvement is seen progressively

challenge yourself aerobically with consistent workouts at 60% to 85% of your

maximum heart rate (220-age) for an extended period of time. hills

important variable is to continue trying to increase the intensity levels of your

workouts Progressive overload is the key; your body will adapt and improve

your VO2 Max and burn more calories to decrease body fat.

Now you wonder, how can I measure my VO2 Max?

For the most accurate measurement, you can go to a hospital or a university.

Human Performance Lab and get tested. Usually, you will use a treadmill or a

stationary bike and be given an oxygen mask to measure your oxygen exchange.

Electrodes will also be attached to your chest to measure your heart’s response.

The main objective is to walk, ride a bike or run since the intensity is progressive.

elevated until no further progress is possible. (You must be authorized or

monitored by your doctor before attempting a VO2 Max test.)

The easiest. but not as accurate, is to make an estimated submaximal aerobic

ability test

The following is one of the many tests that can be used.

Find a 400-meter track, bring a stopwatch, and walk or run as fast as you can.

12 minutes Keep track of the number of meters you have traveled in 12 minutes,

and use the following formula.

Distance traveled in meters – 504.9 / 44.730 = estimated VO2 max

Here is a rough guide:

4-5 laps covered, your VO2 Max will be around 30.

5-7 laps covered, your VO2 Max will be around 45.

7-8 laps covered (2800 meters), your VO2 Max will be around 62.

8-8.5 laps covered (3200 meters), your VO2 Max will be around 67

9 laps covered (3600 meters), your VO2 Max will be around 70.

Learn to keep a close eye on your fitness values ​​and try to continuously improve

them. The improvement will lead to great health benefits and may result in your

goal of decreasing body fat (depending on your nutritional habits).

The importance of early retirement planning

Most people would think about retirement as they approach the last years of their lives. They begin to save and possibly draft wills and estate plans to ensure a comfortable retirement and hope to leave a good legacy for their loved ones. In this day and age when an increasing number of seniors are living in nursing homes, there is a lot to consider. Most important is the significant cost of living in nursing homes today.

A 2011 survey shows that about $239 is the average cost per day for a private nursing facility. That average cost is projected to increase by 4-5% each year, which is a significant cost in itself today and would be a daunting expense for people planning their retirement for the next 20-30 years. The average annual cost is estimated to be around $75,000. Contrary to what most people believe, health insurance will not pay for nursing home living expenses, leaving only the option of dedicating a portion of your savings to retirement as early as possible in adult life. . Since taxes do not make retirement and estate planning easy, people are encouraged to take action and prepare for retirement at an early age.

Experts recommend taking advantage of an employer-sponsored 401(k) plan. Even small monthly contributions can add up to a significant amount over the years. An allowance or contribution of 10% of one’s salary to a retirement fund could also help the elderly secure a better and more comfortable life in later years. Along the way, seniors can increase that allowance and save more as they approach their retirement years.

Many seniors save money and splurge on luxury cruises and vacation packages. As satisfying and rewarding as this can be, the amount spent on luxury can pretty much go into retirement funds. The financial health of seniors is at risk with more spending on entertainment and fun instead of practical comfort and peace of mind. When finances and wealth are at risk, it’s good to get legal advice on how to plan for retirement. Investments must be insured and the huge taxes involved in them can be avoided through legal assistance and planning. A good retirement planning lawyer can help you develop long-term goals that will secure your finances and wealth, and achieve what you envision as your ideal scenario for the future.

Oprah and Eckhart Tolle – A new earth walking in love and power without the body of pain, lust and demons

As Oprah and Eckhart Tolle reviewed chapter 5 of the book A New Earth, the two discussed “the pain body,” as Eckhart calls it.

Tolle: “But don’t underestimate the pain-body’s ability to extract something, to knock you out again, to push some kind of button, and you’ll find yourself reacting again. Because pain-bodies are very cunning, very clever. And they know exactly what will make you unconscious and what will make you react”.

Oprah: “You talk about it like it’s a creature that’s like an alien force inside of us. Yeah.”

Tolle: “Yeah, that’s how I see it.”

Here both Eckhart and Oprah identify demonic activity that seeks to tempt and torment us all, ultimately causing torment and havoc in our lives.

Many times humans confuse lust with love. Lust is possessive, claiming ownership and rights. Lust wants immediate gratification and is demanding. Since lust is impatient and controlling, the quickest way to cut the chains of its demonic handiwork is to stay in love. “Love is patient, kind, not given to envy, nor does it care for itself” (see 1 Corinthians 13). Lust is self-centered and selfish, while love, on the other hand, is selfless and cares about the well-being of others. Therefore, when you interact with a person who does not live and is not motivated by love, their self-interest finally comes to the fore and shows itself. The deeper and more strongly attached you are to your own agenda, the easier it is for demon spirits to find room to play in your soul. And not just play, but space to operate and work through them causing havoc in relationships (professional and personal).

Stay in the love of God by being connected, rooted and grounded in Him; where is his identity and security. As long as you dwell in love, demon spirits will not have access or play with you. As you discover the liberating freedom of living a life of love, old emotional ties and a tendency to react quickly to circumstances will fade in the light of God’s glory and goodness. Then the “pain-body” of demonic activity will come to rest because you will have withdrawn from the drama and said goodbye to demonic play and power grabbing.

“Love one another with brotherly love, preferring one another with honor” (Romans 12:10).

“And the same God of peace sanctify you completely; and I pray to God that all your spirit, soul, and body may be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

“And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen” (Romans 16:20).

Dock Dogs – A new way to have fun with your dog!

Ker-splash! What evokes images of summer fun better than a lake, a pier, a tennis ball, and the wagging of your friend’s tail? Take all the wonderful things about an athletic pup shooting off the end of a pier, laser-focused on that ball, sailing through the air and landing with a fantastic splash, and add a bit more to it in a competitive dog event, and you have yourself. Dock Dogging!

What is Dock Dogs about?
In the year 2000, “Big Air” dogs were a filler event at ESPN’s Great Outdoor Games. No one really expected it to take off (excuse the pun) the way it did, but the event ended up drawing huge numbers of spectators and a traffic-stopping level of attention. Since then, an organization to create formal standards and competitions has emerged and the popularity continues to rise. Known as dock jumping, dock diving, or “splashing dogs,” this sport has become incredibly popular in both the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as other places around the world.

Details please!
There are three main Dock Dogs events: Big Air, Extreme Vertical, and Speed ​​Retrieve. The Speed ​​Swim, a fourth event has been added this year. Each event is scored separately and dogs may enter any or any combination of events in a Dock Dogs competition.

Big Air is described by the folks at Dock Dogs as “a natural extension of having fun with your dog.” In the Big Air event, the dog can start anywhere on the pier and, on command, run up the pier, jump off the end into the air (chasing a toy), and jump as far as possible from the edge of the pier. dock.

The Speed ​​Retrieve event requires a specific start point within 20 feet of the end of the pier. The dog’s job is to run down the dock, jump, and swim as fast as possible to the end of the pool.

In the Extreme Vertical event, the dog can start anywhere in front of the 20-foot mark on the dock. A “bumper” (soft floating toy) is suspended 8 feet from the dock and at the start of the event is held 4.5 feet high (as measured from the dock). The dog has to run down the dock, jump high and grab the bumper or throw it into the water. As the dogs succeed with this, the bumper rises higher and higher.

The new event, Speed ​​​​Swim, is a swimming race for dogs. From a stop at the end of the pier, the dog must jump off and swim to the end of the pool.

What types of dogs can compete in a Dock Dogs competition?
The question really is what types of homeowners can participate, and the answer might surprise you. Owners must be 7 years or older, dogs must be 6 months or older, and after that, no restrictions! Dock Dogs is a sport that an owner with physical limitations can enjoy with their dog. Since you as a human don’t need to run, jump, or swim, you can help your dog get great exercise, enjoy tough competition, and have a great time, even from a wheelchair.

Large, athletic dogs will have an advantage, as will dogs with a natural affinity for water and a strong drive to “play.” For a dog to compete successfully, he needs to have a strong take off, ideally pushing himself off the end of the dock with his toes. But even the smallest or least athletic dogs can compete, have fun, and enjoy the excitement of the cheering crowd at a Dock Dogs event.

Four rules of business expansion

To be a champion agent, you must understand the four rules of business expansion. These rules are universal for all businesses, but especially for service businesses where competition is high and opportunities for repeat customers and referrals are greatest. Those factors describe the real estate business well.

These four rules control the level of risk you’ll need to take to win the business of a champion agent. The further down the list you venture, the greater the risk you incur and the probability of achieving a return becomes even less. I always advise clients to attack these rules in order.

Rule #1 – Protect what you currently have

This does not require a lot of work. Sometimes you get so excited about the new venture or expansion opportunity that you fail in your main business area. Your core business starts to slide and becomes stale, stagnant and lifeless. Never stop looking at the ball. Each of you has one or two pillars of your business that generate considerable business without much additional attention, but it needs attention. Don’t fully throttle backwards.

The vast majority of agents do a poor job of this. We are so excited about new techniques, new systems, and new sources of lead generation that we neglect to protect the business, past customers, and sphere of influence we now have. As I once told a new client, when explaining the four rules of business expansion, it’s like running a ranch. You spend all your time buying new cattle (which you find through a bit of prospecting or marketing). The problem is that the whole back of your pen is open, so your newly acquired cattle that haven’t been branded yet are walking out onto the neighbor’s pasture. You have to fix a fence.

The easiest and fastest way to grow your business is to protect what you currently have. This really does not require a huge investment of time or money. It has to be done, or you’ll be working too hard for too little return.

The National Association of Realtors® has conducted many studies over the years on our clients and the levels of satisfaction and retention of both Buyers and Sellers. The numbers are actually quite shocking. In a survey conducted over a number of years, 69% of people were satisfied with their Agent’s service. When they checked back with this test group, they found that only 24% of people who did another real estate transaction did so with their previous agent. We only produce an average of 69% satisfied customers, which is about a C rating. So we only got 24% of the total to do business with us again, another 45 percentage point drop. Those numbers are really terrible.

What that boldly says to one is that we don’t protect what we currently have very well; that too many of us are sending junk and trinkets in the hope that it will lead to referrals and long-term relationships with our previous clients and sphere. It obviously doesn’t work!

A champion works first to protect what they currently have before moving on to improve market penetration with their target market or those they already do business with. Most agents go to number three on the list first. The reason is because he is new; it’s fun; it is an adventure; someone recommended it; they’re bored. Most agents go to number three before anything else. Remember that risk and probability are reversed the further down the list of rules we work. The risk is higher and the probability is lower as we go through rules three and four.

We must protect the farm we have (if we have), our previous clients and our sphere of influence. You must protect your position first, and that means wherever you are currently generating business from…protect it!

Rule #2: Improve your market penetration with your target market or with the people you already work with.

Once we protect them, we need to expand our reach in our target market. Basically, the rule says that wherever you have strength or control, exploit that strength for more. Figure out ways to acquire a larger part of the business in an area that you have already penetrated, if you already control a part. If you have a farm to work, increase your market share in the farm. I have a client who owns more than 30% of the sales on his farm. Our first step was to create a strategy to increase their market share to over 45%. We did this by promoting your domain in comparison to other agents and even companies. We also promoted the concept of a second opinion to the people who lived on the farm. I wanted to raise awareness about the changing marketplace and the fact that a second opinion costs nothing but gives them peace of mind that they are making the right decision. That strategy worked wonderfully. He increased his number of appointments at the farm by 23% in the first few months. It is on its way to easily surpass the 45% market share threshold. She is getting much better performance in a short period of time with less risk by applying rule #2, rather than rule #3.

You can also convince your clients to invest in real estate; make more deals with the people you currently do business with by having your friends and family work with you. Increasing your referrals is a Rule #2 activity.

A target market would be any market you are currently targeting to generate business. It could be geographically, like my example, or they could even be FSBO or expired if you’ve already done them. It is whatever you are currently and deliberately doing to generate business.

Rule #3: Horizontal expansion in your main business area.

For most, their primary business area is residential real estate. Whatever makes 80% of your commission dollars is your core business.

When you expand horizontally, you open up another section of your business or a new source of leads, but you still remain in residential real estate. You could start working masons; market to condominiums, multiplexes, investment properties, FSBOs or expired; or establish a new growing area. Stop by to hold open houses, attend service clubs, and hold seminars for home buyers, home sellers, or investors. The options are truly endless for what you could do in this category.

The key is to expand into this area once you’ve reached the point of diminishing returns in the first two rule categories. The law of diminishing returns says that you are getting close to the maximum in that area, so the closer you get to the ceiling, the less growth you will receive, even if you put in a lot of effort and resources. There just isn’t enough growth potential to make it worthwhile.

Rule #4 – Change and create vertical expansion.

To expand vertically would be to move into a similar complementary business that is structured like the real estate business or has ties to the real estate business. This rule allows you to take what you learned in real estate or use the contacts you have in real estate and build an additional business and income stream.

The most common thing for Agents in this area is to open a real estate brokerage office and recruit Agents to work for them. You can also create a mortgage company, title company, escrow company, branch out into land development, build homes, or invest in real estate. I have even heard of Agents becoming or forming a business partnership with a property and casualty insurance provider.

If you have a good database and communicate with your past clients and sphere frequently, you certainly have the option of serving them with other financial needs as well.

Champions work to follow the four rules of business expansion. They focus on risk and probability working to keep both in your favor. I know of many agents who became champion agents simply by focusing on Rule #1: Protect what they currently have and Rule #2: Improve their market production with their target market or those they already work with. . Due to their skill, the size of the database, and the frequency of communication, they can achieve exponential growth with limited risk.

Every Door Direct: Smart and Affordable Marketing from the Post Office

The US Postal Service started a new program in 2011 called Every Door Direct that is generating money for many small businesses. This is perfect for many businesses to target people in your neighborhood, including: car dealers, pizza or other restaurants, dry cleaners, real estate people, lawyers, and accountants.

They have made it relatively easy

Postal permission is not required for this and you do not have to purchase a mailing list. And with the Postal Service’s online tool, you can choose a business/residential or residential-only route. What you can’t do (at least not yet) is choose only businesses. But the post office says they are working on that option.

the minimum

You choose the zip code and postal route. Using your website and that tool, you can see the routes and the number of addresses on it. You must mail all addresses on the route. You can’t point to one stop like an apartment complex. You can choose whether to include businesses or apartment complexes and PO Boxes.

There is another way instead of choosing individual paths. Using their online tool, you can enter your business location and request every address within a mile or within three miles or whatever. It immediately shows you how many places that would be and the exact cost.

and the maximum

But this is the postal service, which means you have to do it exactly their way. You can only send up to 5,000 pieces of mail per day at any one post office.

Grouping Them Post Office Style

They should be packed in groups of 50. Let’s say a route has 226 addresses. You would have four bundles of 50 each plus one bundle of 26. Each bundle should have a “slip” on the front identifying the mailing route.

You can pay a mail service to take care of everything or hire someone to bundle them together. Or you can sit in front of the TV with your family and friends and have a package party. However, be careful with the count because the post office is picky.

Each piece must have an “address bar” that must be in a specific place in the mail.

How to use it

Here’s what you can mail in this program: large postcards. The Post Office calls them “flats”. Up to 12×15 inches at 14.5 cents each (for most deliveries). I’ve seen that “for most deliveries” reference but I’m not sure in which situations it costs more.

Then take them to that post office and pay by check, cash, metered postage, or debit card (but not credit card last I heard, but they were working on that too). If you want to send your cards to another city, just send them in a big box with all the paperwork (and payment) inside.

If you have questions about the program, just search online or call their hotline: 877-747-6249.

Many marketers are using these large cards to sell ads to individual businesses, all in the same area. The Postal Service really has a good idea here. I urge you to take a look.

What is fashion production?

To fully understand what fashion production is all about, it is very important to take a look at what the term “fashion” means. Generally speaking, fashion refers to different styles of practices in the area of ​​clothing, makeup, accessories, and even furniture. In a very strict sense, the term only refers to clothing trends. Therefore, fashion production, as discussed in this article, is only limited to garments, clothing, outfits, and dresses.

Fashion production when it comes to clothing has come a long way. Basically, the term refers to the manufacture of various types of clothing, dresses, and fashion accessories. Several factors have always influenced the production process. Over the years, various types of fashionable outfits have been produced. Many of them have cultural and traditional overtones. In ancient times, people used local materials such as fur and animal skins to produce the outfits they wore. Different types of clothing styles were also produced through said local media. However, there was a marked improvement in fashion production during the industrial revolution period of the late 18th century. It was an era of great awakening that swept across Europe, America, and other continents of the world. The era witnessed the establishment of several fashion production plants both in Europe and on other continents. Various fashion manufacturers emerged. Different types of patterns and approaches were also introduced in the production process. Many quality clothing materials, fashion dresses and accessories were also produced.

In contemporary times, fashion production is still ongoing. The fashion industry in modern times is moving at a very high speed. Different types of approaches have been introduced. There is also the infusion of technology into the production of materials for clothing. Different types of sophisticated sewing machines and tools have been invented. Gone are the days when fashion production was only limited to the local tailor or dressmaker down the street. Today, large corporations have entered the fashion business. Various fashion brands have been established. Many quality ready-made garments, men’s clothing, women’s clothing and even children’s clothing have been produced.

Once again, fashion production is now a very lucrative course in colleges and universities. Interested individuals can go through the education process to obtain degrees in the area of ​​fabric production. Great innovative ideas have always come from the fashion education process. The results are also quite obvious. The world now witnesses an increase in fashion trends every year. Different types of fashion products and accessories are everywhere. In fact, the fashion industry is thriving in various nations around the world. Large fashion plants, firms, outlets are operating in various countries.

Finally, fashion production has also gone the way of the Internet. Many large fashion companies now operate online. Many innovative fashion ideas can be found online. Different types of clothing and fashion accessories are also being traded online. Wholesale and retail fashion marketing is also causing a stir on the internet. The mass production of fashion products is also driving the Internet. The world is yet to witness a lot as the fashion industry continues to grow.
