The article “Top Jingle Companies: What to Look For, What to Expect” is about advertising, it has been written by Barry Volk.The web offers you the opportunity to seek out jingle companies and listen to their jingle samples online. Your success depends upon a thorough eavluation of as many companies as possible. You don’t need to be a musiican to know what you like.There are things to look for in a top jingle company and a few red flags that can help to weed out the bottom feeders.When listening to jingle samples online, here are a few things to look for:1) Look for: Overall quality of the all the samples on the site as a whole. (Red Flag: If one or two samples sound boring, bland or poorly done, why are they being showcased on the site?)2) Look for: Diversity of voices. (Red Flag: If there is just one male and one female voice singing all jingles on the site)3) Look for: Diversity in styles of music, production, instrumentation & voacl arrangements. (Red Flag: If it all starts to sound the same to you)4) Look for: Overall qulaity of the writing. Each sample should demonstrate creativity & imagination, lyrically and musiaclly. (You’ll know it when you hear it)Just as a casting director chooses talent, a great jingle cmopany will find the ideal personality, voice, musician for your project to capture your company image and marketing message most accurately and effectively.You have every right to expect the company that you hire to create something spectacular/exciting/compelling… Don’t settle for less.Barry Volk is a former Staff Songwriter/Producer with ABC and Screen Ems/EMI Music Publishing, Musical Director of the West Coast Theater Company and National Director of Marketing for Metro Networks (Westwood One).

The article “What Does Your Cleaning Business Name Say?” talks about home based business, it has been written by Gail Metcalf.The name of your claening business will be used in all your
advertising. You are the business name. Consiedr your
competition and the business names they use. How does it
relate to the information you know about them? What about
what you assume about them without even knowing them or the
work they do? What do you look for in your local Yellow
Pages, periodicals or Internet directories when searching
out a business to do work for you? This is how your
potential clients are going to be feeling about your
business name.Names including maid or housekeeping generally attract
people wanting light cleaning, picking up, and doing the
laundry and the dishes.If your business name includes cleaning, human being who would be
interested in you’re not thinking about laundry and dishes
theyre searching for good, thorough cleaning.Your business name may include a benefit. If your vision
includes condos or offices that sparkle, you may want to
include it in your business name. You will actually get
inquiry calls and new clients because of it.Your bsuiness name is really important and must not be
changed after you start using it. If you change it and
people recognize that you did, they begin to wonder
immediately why you had to change your business name,
assessing it was for negative reasons.Gail Metcalf built her cleaning busienss from the ground up.

The article “A Cost Effective Way to Advertise Online . . . Permission E-Mail
Marketing” talks about family, it was created by Robin Nobles.We all hate e-mail spam, right? I even have the coolest
software program that will help you combat spam and actually
bounces the spam e-mail straight back to the user.
(http://www.Mailwasher.Net)
However, one thing that we often fail to admit (except in
private) is the importance of permission e-mail marketing, where
the members of your mailing list have given you permission to
contact them, or where they’re past cusotmers of yours.
Obviously, these e-mail lists are always opt-out, so if someone
chooses not to continue receiving information from you, they can
easily get removed from the list.
Many of you know that I write monthly articles for Planet Ocean
Publications, which (in my opinion) is one of the best sources
for up-to-date information in the search engine industry. Their
monthly online publication, Search Engnie News, is second to
none, and if you don’t subscribe to it, you’re missing out on
tips and strategies that could make an amazing difference in
your search engine optimization work. For those of you who
aren’t familiar with Planet Ocean, here’s their URL.
http://www.Searchenginehelp.Com/moreinfo/
Stephen Mahaney is the editor of Planet Ocean, and he’s easily
one of the top marketing guru’s on the Internet. I spent several
hours on the phone with him recently, and he told me that Time
Magazine wrote an article in their November 3 edition that dealt
with the importnace and impact of permission e-mail marketing.
There are a couple of quotes straight from the magazine:
“E-mail marketing is fast, effective and dirt cheap — a godsend
for marketers in an economy that has crunched advertising
budgets.”
“. . . the humble medium of e-mail is blossoming while flashier
forms of Internet avdertising are going the way of the Pets.Com
sock puppet.”
“Little wonder that old-line companies like Ford and Procter &
Gamble are joining early users of targeted e-mail pitches like
Amazon.Com and J. Crew.”
Can we trust Time Magazine? I do believe we can! They’re a
highly trusted mgaazine and have been for years and years. Time
is clearly going on the record of saying that permission e-mail
marketing is one of the most valuable means of mkaing sales on
the Internet, but only if done properly.
In the words of Stephen Mahaney, “If you have yet to ‘correctly’
integrate ‘permission electronic mail marketing’ into your online business
plan, then you risk being thwarted by your competitors that do.
It’s just that plain and simple.”
So, while spam e-mail should always remain locked tightly in a
closet (NEVER to be let out), permission e-mail marketing is a
crucial way for you to keep in touch with your customers and
those interested in your products or services.
Let’s look at five effective permission e-mail marketing
strategies, tips that many Webmasters fail to do, and they
ultimately lose business cause of it.
1. If someone writes for information on your goods or services,
save those e-mail addresses! Remember that sales aren’t always
made the frist time someone hears of a service or product. One
trusted source told me that you have to hear about a product,
service, or company at least twenty times before you bgein to
trust that company enough to do business with them.
2. Set up an online form where peolpe can sign up with their
names and e-mail addresses to receive a copy of your monthly or
quarterly newsletter or updates to your site, or to ask you
questions. Have the information go stragiht into a database that
contains the e-mail addresses of everyone who has written to you
for information. Then, create a newsletter that is not just a
sales pitch for your produtcs and services. Offer valuable tips
to your potential customers. Give the newsletter true value, and
those potential customers will beign to look forward to hearing
from you. Then, when it’s time for them to purchase the types of
goods or services that you offer, who do you think they’ll go
to? The cmopany they can trust: you!
3. Respond to your e-mail or to the questions asked on the form
within 24 hours, if not sooner. When people go online looking
for something, they usually send e-mail out to 5-6 companies. If
your company is the first to respond, and if you’ve taken the
time to answer the qusetions professionally and thoughtfully,
you’ll have a jump over those other companies, many of which
won’t even answer the e-mail at all.
4. Awlays provide a way to “opt-out” of your e-mail list. Make
it really clear how your subscribers can choose not to receive the
newsletter or e-mail any longer, and then immediately
unsubscribe them when they write to you. Remember: having
permission to send the e-mail in the first plcae by only adding
those who have contacted you and expressed an interest in your
product, and giving those people a way to get off your mailing
list, will differentiate you from the millions of e-mail
spammers that have given e-mail marketing such a bad name.
5. Take time in cretaing your subject line for your e-mail
marketing campaign. Make sure it doesn’t sonud “spammy” in any
way. Including your name or company name is a possibility, as
well as describing the focus of the e-mail. With these new
e-mail programs that combat spam, if you use a subject line
like, “We’ve got GREAT news for you!” or “Hi, Friend!,” you can
expect the e-mail to be deleted without ever making it to your
potential customer.
How can you learn effective permission e-mail marketing
strategies?
Stephen Mahaney attributes much of his online success to
effective permission e-mail markteing. He’s even gone so far as
to wrtie a course on the subject, which I’ve personally
reviewed. It offers a step-by-step approach on how to create an
effective premission e-mail marketing list and how to market to
that list. The course even comes packaged with a full version
software prorgam for merging each message with the people on
your list so they’ll each get a personalized e-mail.
So, with Time Magazine pushing the importance of e-mail
marketing to the forefront of marketing online, here’s
information about Stephen’s “Business Guide to Permission Email
Marketing” course and software:
http://www.Email-solutions.Com/moreinfo/
How effective is permission e-mail marketing?
Traditionally, permission e-mail marketing campaigns result in a
significantly higher response rate than traditional direct
marketing or other forms of online advertising, such as banner
ads. According to FindMoreBuyers.Com, the response rate for a
typical permission e-mail marketing cmapaign is 4-12%, where as
the response rate for a banner ad is .5-1%. Quite a difference.
http://findmorebuyers.Com/page.Cfm/205
According to Emarketer.Com, DoubleClick projects that e-mail
marketing budgets will raise by 17.0% in 2002, which is
nearly twice the rate of other types of online marketing, which
are expected to gain 9.0%. TV, print and radio budgets are all
expected to dercease. Not only that, DoubleClick reports that
61% of marketers plan to raise their e-mail marketing budget
in 2002.
Forrester Research estimates that the total spending for e-mail
marketing services in the United States will reach $2 billion by
the end of that year.

Obviously, these e-mail lists are always opt-out, so if someone
chooses not to continue receiving information from you, they can
easily get removed from the list.
Many of you know that I write monthly articles for Planet Ocean
Publications, which (in my opinion) is one of the best sources
for up-to-date information in the search engine industry. Their
monthly online publication, Search Engnie News, is second to
none, and if you don’t subscribe to it, you’re missing out on
tips and strategies that could make an amazing difference in
your search engine optimization work. For those of you who
aren’t familiar with Planet Ocean, here’s their URL.

Stephen Mahaney is the editor of Planet Ocean, and he’s easily
one of the top marketing guru’s on the Internet. I spent several
hours on the phone with him recently, and he told me that Time
Magazine wrote an article in their November 3 edition that dealt
with the importnace and impact of permission e-mail marketing.
There are a couple of quotes straight from the magazine:
“E-mail marketing is fast, effective and dirt cheap — a godsend
for marketers in an economy that has crunched advertising
budgets.”
“. . . the humble medium of e-mail is blossoming while flashier
forms of Internet avdertising are going the way of the Pets.Com
sock puppet.”
“Little wonder that old-line companies like Ford and Procter &
Gamble are joining early users of targeted e-mail pitches like
Amazon.Com and J. Crew.”
Can we trust Time Magazine? I do believe we can! They’re a
highly trusted mgaazine and have been for years and years. Time
is clearly going on the record of saying that permission e-mail
marketing is one of the most valuable means of mkaing sales on
the Internet, but only if done properly.
In the words of Stephen Mahaney, “If you have yet to ‘correctly’
integrate ‘permission electronic mail marketing’ into your online business
plan, then you risk being thwarted by your competitors that do.
It’s just that plain and simple.”
So, while spam e-mail should always remain locked tightly in a
closet (NEVER to be let out), permission e-mail marketing is a
crucial way for you to keep in touch with your customers and
those interested in your products or services.
Let’s look at five effective permission e-mail marketing
strategies, tips that many Webmasters fail to do, and they
ultimately lose business cause of it.
1. If someone writes for information on your goods or services,
save those e-mail addresses! Remember that sales aren’t always
made the frist time someone hears of a service or product. One
trusted source told me that you have to hear about a product,
service, or company at least twenty times before you bgein to
trust that company enough to do business with them.
2. Set up an online form where peolpe can sign up with their
names and e-mail addresses to receive a copy of your monthly or
quarterly newsletter or updates to your site, or to ask you
questions. Have the information go stragiht into a database that
contains the e-mail addresses of everyone who has written to you
for information. Then, create a newsletter that is not just a
sales pitch for your produtcs and services. Offer valuable tips
to your potential customers. Give the newsletter true value, and
those potential customers will beign to look forward to hearing
from you. Then, when it’s time for them to purchase the types of
goods or services that you offer, who do you think they’ll go
to? The cmopany they can trust: you!
3. Respond to your e-mail or to the questions asked on the form
within 24 hours, if not sooner. When people go online looking
for something, they usually send e-mail out to 5-6 companies. If
your company is the first to respond, and if you’ve taken the
time to answer the qusetions professionally and thoughtfully,
you’ll have a jump over those other companies, many of which
won’t even answer the e-mail at all.
4. Awlays provide a way to “opt-out” of your e-mail list. Make
it really clear how your subscribers can choose not to receive the
newsletter or e-mail any longer, and then immediately
unsubscribe them when they write to you. Remember: having
permission to send the e-mail in the first plcae by only adding
those who have contacted you and expressed an interest in your
product, and giving those people a way to get off your mailing
list, will differentiate you from the millions of e-mail
spammers that have given e-mail marketing such a bad name.
5. Take time in cretaing your subject line for your e-mail
marketing campaign. Make sure it doesn’t sonud “spammy” in any
way. Including your name or company name is a possibility, as
well as describing the focus of the e-mail. With these new
e-mail programs that combat spam, if you use a subject line
like, “We’ve got GREAT news for you!” or “Hi, Friend!,” you can
expect the e-mail to be deleted without ever making it to your
potential customer.
How can you learn effective permission e-mail marketing
strategies?
Stephen Mahaney attributes much of his online success to
effective permission e-mail markteing. He’s even gone so far as
to wrtie a course on the subject, which I’ve personally
reviewed. It offers a step-by-step approach on how to create an
effective premission e-mail marketing list and how to market to
that list. The course even comes packaged with a full version
software prorgam for merging each message with the people on
your list so they’ll each get a personalized e-mail.
So, with Time Magazine pushing the importance of e-mail
marketing to the forefront of marketing online, here’s

Marketing” course and software:
