Reap Profits With Promotional Clothing

By Matthew Calvin

The question has often been asked whether businesses can actually realize profits by the practice of giving away promotional items, and the answer is yes. It is a very practical way to make money for the company by virtue of indirect increased awareness of the brand and marketing campaign. Promotional gifts are an all time favourite, and imprinted t-shirts, polo shirts, jackets or caps are a good way to bond with your target audience. No matter which product you choose, the image of your logo on the garment will be sure to garner you attention with your target audience.

An easy way toward profits for your marketing campaign is to include promotional merchandise in the budget. A well planned budget will allow you to get the best products at a reasonable cost which will certainly put you on the road to success. If you decide to put your own logo on promotional clothing, you will most certainly gain visibility which could lead to popularity and profits.

Retailers also can benefit from selling promotional clothing. It can be to a good advantage to buy large quantities of logo printed promotional clothing and mark it down to bargain prices. This will attract more buyers to their store, while adding to their coffers, with the added benefit of building name recognition.

The possibility of thousands of people wearing clothing with your logo on it is a win-win for businesses. It is an effective way to target the masses and remind them that your brand is indeed one they want to choose. The ability to reach pre-set marketing goals is made easier with the incorporation of company branded promotional clothing.

When the clothing is of good quality and of a comfortable style, it will be worn more frequently, causing instant awareness wherever it is seen. This instant awareness is a very cost effective means of advertising that lasts far beyond the initial cash outlay. And don't forget, this clothing can also be given away as promotional gifts at trade events, offering you a unique two pronged opportunity to make a lasting impression.

Pre-foreclosures - Steps on How to Find the Best Locations

By Sandy Watson

It's a tragedy that many people are forfeiting their homes during this sub-prime real estate crisis. It was recently reported that foreclosures account for 50% of the homes currently being sold in the US. Even though many people are losing their homes, there are many others who can finally afford a home or are now investing into real estate and taking advantage of these discounted prices.

Most real estate investors see this current crisis as an opportunity as it's the perfect time to buy cheap and hold until the market returns to normal. "There are always opportunities", explains Donald Trump. "When I first started out in Manhattan, everyone was saying what a terrible market it was". It's a good thing he didn't listen to anyone else's advice or he won't be where he is today.

Many of the most successful real estate investors currently see this as an opportune time to buy real estate (Mr. Trump is in this list) and see pre-foreclosures as the greatest means in which to negotiate the best deals.

The great thing about buying a pre-foreclosed home is that you are dealing one-on-one with the owner and have a chance to ask questions and inspect the house. Since the bank has time to evaluate the property there is a higher probability of being granted a mortgage.

When looking to purchase a pre-foreclosure you also need to pay closer attention to the macro aspects (I'll cover micro aspects in a later article) of the property in order to limit your risk as much as possible. Some of these property macro aspects are:

- Look around the neighborhood to see how many homes are being foreclosed. It's best that the house you're considering for purchase is the only one facing foreclosure. Obviously the more homes in forced sale, the more likely the properties will depreciate.

- Check with the local tenants to see what the rent levels are and whether they have been increasing or decreasing over the last little while.

- What is the local economy like at the town, local city and/or county level? Is the unemployment rate increasing or decreasing?

- Check with the local government to see of any upcoming infrastructure projects that will be taking place within 2-3 years. Projects such as new shopping malls, highways, train/subways lines, building permits for new businesses being established, new parks near the property, etc.

- Consider the age of the majority of the population within the community. If the majority of the local population is seniors that own homes, that could translate into an excess of future housing as they move into elderly care facilities.

If you do your homework and find the majority of these answers to portray a positive community, then you should consider buying in that area. Buying pre-foreclosed homes at the right time in the right place can prove to be a very profitable venture.

Tom Harvey's Infinity 800 Review

By Tom Harvey

What if all marketers cam together for this one Program and made a huge movement in the internet business world? What if, you could get into one of the hottest programs on the internet right now, formed by some of the elite marketing professionals in the industry that provide an unparalled product with big ticket payouts cming to the marketer with a low ticket program cost? Well, forget all the what if's, it is here now!

So, here is the meat of the Infinity 800 program from best review.But first, let me explain the situation. We are in a recession right now in case you might of missed it over the last 4 months of news. I know that I am not going to be left behnd from the program's launch in Janruary, neither should you unless you just don't need the extra money. Becasue the economy is so fragle right now, it is basically the hay day for work from home business people to reap in the benifits of the economical situation. The program is called Infinity 800, and here is the short of it.

Yes, I know, Infinity 800 sounds like a NASA space project doesnt it? Actually Infinity 800 is the hottest, smokingest (right! not a word) program on the Internet today. It is a 2 x 2 Matrix. Ok, now what does that mean? What that means is that you pony up $200.00 to buy in plus a onetime $60.00 administrative fee and then the fun begins.

Once you have gotten into the program or matrix, you bring in two more marketers. Now that there is two people under you on your team, you help them in turn bring in two more each. Now that you have gotten a total of six people into the matrix, you will now cycle. When you cycle you will recieve a check for $540. After you cycle, you go back in and start a new matrix. When those people cycle, they will come into the new matrix directly under you automatically. When you recieve another cycle, you will get another check for $540.

This now goes into perpetual motion and once the cycling is started, you cannot stop it. Bring more and more people into the program and you cycle faster and faster. This program is now in (pre) Pre-Launch and has already paid out some $145,000 in commissions. And this has been over only three and a half weeks.

It goes live in pre launch mode January 1. Can you imagine the momentum once it gets rolling? Get on board now, and make yourself another $2,340.00 a month. Not a bad investment for $260.00 plus a few hours a week promoting the program. You will be taught how to market this program and become part of one of the most dynamic teams on the internet today.

See, i mentioned my team earlier. The team i speak about it the University of Internet Science and I happen to be one of its founding members. This University of Internet Science was founded by my partner, Michelangelo Lopez and he just happens to be one of the top internet gurus online today. He has built the University of Internet Sciecne up to be one of the elite in rankings on alexia. So, who would not want to have that kind of support behind them?

Infinity 800 can set you free; you just need to make the choice to be free. That is unless you like to work that dead end job paying you table scraps. Hey, dont get me wrong. I had one of those things too, a J O B, I think it was called. Then I decided to start getting myself paid, not some guy laying in the islands reaping the benefits of mine and many others hard work. This way I can say hi to him when I see him in the islands.
