“The String” is a social networking site similar to Facebook/ Myspace and Twitter..But with a slight twist…unlike those other social networking sites “the string” gives 70 percent of their advertising revenue back to their users..
So what does that mean for us!?
Well let’s think about that for a minute…
Last year Facebook made well over 1 billion dollars in ad revenue..So.. If that was Peoplestring instead of Facebook WE as users would have shared in on 700 Million dollars of that! I can only imagine the possibilites with that kind of Payout!
So how do we get our hands on that money?

Here is the fundamental premise on which all marketing is based:
If the consumer isn’t aware that you exist, you can’t sell your product.
When encountering a prospect on the showroom floor or at a trade show, in every case, he or she was “delivered” to that critical point by an awareness of you; whether through an advertisement, a referral or, in the trade show circumstance, merely because you were there.
What takes place at that point is two-way communication (you standing face to face with the prospect, closing the sale). Though your degree of success will be determined by your persuasiveness, product, knowledge, price, etc., something that happened before that gave you the opportunity: a prospect had to be delivered.
At our marketing agency in Phoenix, we have learned – and base much of what we do on – this lesson: In today’s highly competitive marketplace, real success is largely a numbers game. To survive, let alone be a leader in your category, you have to close many sales. In order to do so, you have to have ample numbers of prospects with which to work. This applies whether you are a product or a service, large or small, with a reach that is local regional or national in scope.

Home may be where the heart is, but the majority of people spend the majority of their time outside of their homes. The amount of time people spend inside their homes has changed over the years. As that time has decreased, traditional methods of advertising such as TV and newspaper ads no longer reach as many people. And then with the addition of television recording devices, online video streaming, and the decrease in morning newspapers, the likelihood of a television or printed ad being effectively viewed dropped even further. The flip side of all this means that people are spending more time outside their homes. It doesn’t mean they are consuming less business advertising, just that the delivery methods have. More people outside their homes means more people driving by your store front, more people consuming outdoor business advertising.
But of course, any good business advertising man knows that this also has created an advertising overload in many people’s minds. There is a lot of competition that your business is trying to stand apart from, a lot of clutter and noise your company needs to break through in order to reach new potential customers. Because of these technological advances and feeling over-loaded, people have begun to pick and choose what business advertising they will accept and what they will reject. But there is still one form of advertising that people find very difficult to reject, even if they want to. That is creative outdoor advertising through a giant inflatable or large balloon. That is because people will always have a hard time turning away from things that are original, unique, and one-of-a-kind.

Businesses are almost always looking for new ways to advertise, but what they really hope for is free advertising that leaves them with nothing but pure profit, zero investment. A great way to do that is by utilizing your storefront or display window. But you can’t just throw a few products in your display window and call it useful advertising. Smart businesses see their whole storefront as a billboard to be fashioned as needed. Any part of your company building that faces a street, sidewalk, or park is a huge brand marketing opportunity. The trick is to get all different aspects of the outside of your building to work together and complement each other, in the same way that a billboard flows and is attractive to people driving by. The first step was decided when you began your business and chose your location. Common sense says that a storefront on a busy, high-traffic road will be a much more valuable “billboard”; as the real estate business has already told us, “location, location, location!”. But what else can be done to develop your brand marketing through the entire exterior of your company?
Business Sign
The second step is just as important, but not as permanent as the first. Your business sign is an essential part of your brand marketing. It needs to be unique, professional, and attractive. Your business sign should reflect and add to the character of your company. Think of it as the letter head of your entire storefront. Because of that, it should without a doubt include your company logo and name, perhaps even your slogan or motto as well. At the same time, your business sign is your company’s signature. All these reasons are why this is such a pivotal link in your brand marketing campaign. If you don’t already have a sign that meets the requirements listed above, find a reputable sign company and start on designing a new one. A professional sign company will make a high-quality, durable business sign that will stand up to weather and time. A good sign company will also have the expertise to work and collaborate with you in crafting your new business sing that is worthy of being your company’s fingerprint.

Custom printed shirts are no longer a novelty among the youth. Youngsters nowadays have discovered the many benefits of custom shirts. But one thing that they may not have tapped into yet is the potential of these custom shirts to make events in their lives even more memorable. Custom t-shirts can add personality and fun to a party, such as a Quincea?os, a sweet sixteen party, or a debut party.
Anyone hosting a party wants to look like a crowd-stopper on that special day. We are used to girls donning the traditional gown and tiara combination. But if you can’t afford a party where you and your friends get to dress up as royalty, you can have a different party instead: one that is cheap and easy on the pocket, one that will be fun and unique, one that will make everyone feel right at home so the top priority is pure enjoyment, and one that you and your friends won’t forget for a long time. You don’t even need a fairy godmother or MTV music channel, in this generation’s case, to make your parties unforgettable. All you need are custom t-shirts!

Does your company have a custom t-shirt already? If not, you should strongly consider doing so. Customized shirts bearing your company’s logo, brand name, address, and contact details will work like a more noticeable, walking business card. You can get your employees to wear the shirts, or you can give it away to potential clients and existing customers. Not only will this help build a good relationship with customers or instill teamwork and unity among employees, the shirts will also function as an instant advertising medium.
An average person who takes the bus to work every day and works at a medium to large company would meet more than 100 different people every day. If that person happens to be wearing your company’s custom t-shirt, that means everyone he or she meets can see his or her shirt. This way, in just 10 days or even less, your brand have already been exposed to at least a thousand different people.
If you’re interested in getting custom t-shirts for your company, you can ask your local supplier or marketing handler to take care of it. After all, this is considered as a tool or medium that’s also part of your larger marketing strategy.

How many of you have seen or even joined an Affiliate marketing club? I for one have joined a few and been very disappointed myself with many of those clubs.
Yet, again those “Guru’s” are just trying to get more money from anyone they can, without really reveling any real secrets, on how you can make money online. I personally found out myself that the hard way.
With all this information out there and all those marketing group, why are they just so much money to join? Its just mostly because of all those people just to get rich off the little people who just want to make some extra money. When those other people just get richer.
Most of the groups out there will not give you all the information when you first join there group. With that said in most of the clubs they want you to buy more in to there product before you only get a little more information on what you need.

Brand development for your company takes time, hard work, and creativity. One of the best ways make your company and its logo more recognizable is by using advertising products. But then the next question becomes how to get those promotional products out into the community. It is always a good idea to give gifts to your current customers, but creative advertising means putting your business in front of new, potential clients. Here are a few creative Florida marketing ideas to do just that:
• One great idea to bolster your Florida marketing, is to join the local area chamber of commerce. This provides great networking opportunities.
• Visit your local college campuses for your business advertising by posting flyers in dorms, common areas, student unions, bathrooms, etc. This is a great free advertising option for two reasons (just be sure to speak with someone at the college first and get permission, otherwise your signs may be removed): first, college students love to shop, and secondly, if you’re ever looking to hire, many of them will probably be very interested!

A new business’ first job is to let their new potential customers who they are and why they are open for business. But it’s about more than just advertising (which can be expensive), it’s also about spreading the audible word, getting people to talk and interact around the subject of your grand opening. From the very first day of business, you also want to be developing your new company branding. Here are some tips for promotion marketing and increasing your new business’ brand awareness in the community:
Contact other, previously established, businesses.
Other businesses in your community are still around because they have a formed client base. And if they are thriving, they must be doing something right in their business handling and promotion marketing and advertising. Assuming that most of these companies are not direct competition for your new business, consider some of these ways to become a part of a pre-existing, professional community.
• To advertise your grand opening, ask your local car dealerships if they would be willing to hand out a goodie bag about your new enterprise (complete with your grand opening promotions such as a flyer, some candy, a business card, coupon, etc) to their customers who come in to take advantage of their free test drives.

Signs are a cost effective way to market your products or services. If developed correctly your sign will be long lasting and will deliver your marketing message clearly and uniquely. By using the right tools and techniques in the initial stages of application, you can guarantee your job will last the distance.
Prevention is the best way to ensure failure on your sign does not occur. You pay great attention to the design and layout of your marketing message and you should take the same position in developing your sign. Attention to detail is the key and making certain that you give your sign the best opportunity to give you a return on your investment.
Clean the surface
Rivets, curves and corrugations are classified as problem areas because they are prone to trapping contaminates such as water and dirt. These contaminates can ‘cake’ on to the surface making it difficult to clean and prepare correctly and as a result applying signage hard.
