Massive Discounts With Group Buying Power
Some good news here for both businesses and the buying public, particularly welcome in these tough economic conditions - "Group Buying"!
Here's how it works: -
- A supplier of goods or services, hungry for more business, offers the public a substantial discount on a selected product or service
- The discount offer is dependent on a large enough uptake by consumers
- As soon as the critical number of takers is reached, the discount applies, and the sales take place.
The 7 Most Common Marketing Mistakes
By Michael Fleischner*
When marketing your product or service, you need to have a firm understanding of your audience, the message you want to deliver, the offer you're willing to make, and the optimal timing for your marketing campaign.
Too often novice marketers, even marketing veterans, make costly mistakes that result in poor performance of their marketing campaign. Common marketing mistakes can be avoided with adequate planning, attention to detail, and ongoing measurement and evaluation.
If you're considering a traditional marketing campaign, an Internet marketing campaign, or something that's never been tried before, be sure to avoid these common marketing mistakes.
Are You Creating Your Life ?
Create means to cause a situation or feeling.
Are you creating your job ?
Do you get to work early, do your best and leave late without expecting anything in return ?
Are you going the extra mile ?
When I owned a restaurant many years ago there was no such thing as “unions”. My staff never watched the clock. They often worked till the early hours of the morning, expecting nothing in return. Through their efforts they secured their jobs and most of them were with me for many years until I sold the restaurant.
If you are not “creating your job” you have a very good chance of losing it.
The same applies to creating your marriage, creating your business, creating wealth – in other words creating whatever you want.

“The University of Texas Investment Management Co., the second-largest U.S. academic endowment, took delivery of almost $1 billion in gold bullion and is storing the bars in a New York vault.” That report from Bloomberg is the latest chapter in the amazing gold story. The report notes the endowment fund holds 664,300 ounces of the shiny metal in a New York vault. So, does that mean gold – and silver – have hit the mainstream? No. It’s still a fringe investment. As our old pal, Diggers & Drillers editor, Dr. Alex Cowie likes to point out to anyone who’ll listen: “Gold bears like saying gold is in a bubble. It makes them feel better about not owning any yet. It’s hard to see how gold is in a bubble when it still only makes up 0.6% of global financial assets – the same as it did 20 years ago.” Besides, you only have to watch the mainstream reaction to gold and silver, to see the majority still don’t have a clue.
