Are You Marketing to Women? You Should Be...

I Just returned last week from M2W Marketing-to-Women Conference in Chicago, what a Great Event these Women at "Frank about Women" presented!

I was lucky enough to meet Fara Warner who is currently a contributing writer to Fast Company. She has written extensively for The New York Times and other national publications, including The Wall Street Journal where she worked as staff writer in New York, Singapore and Detroit. She is the recipient of a Knight-Wallace Fellowship at the University of Michigan for 2005-2006 and the author of the Must Read Book "The Power of the Purse!"

Check out the other 20 plus M2W Speakers I was lucky to meet including, Marti Barletta, Author, Marketing To Women CEO, The TrendSight Group.

I highly recommend attending this event in 2007 to all Women in Business, Marketing and YOU Men too!

I will leave you with this fairly accurate statistic to think about:
Currently 2006 - 80% Are Women Who Shop For The Household.

Shop Pugster.com For Memorable Mother's Day Gifts...

Don't Forget Mother's Day is coming May 14th!

I love the Jewelry at Pugster Inc., photos do not do it justice. Take my word for it, Pugster jewelry is a perfect gift for Mom!

Pugster.com is an online fashion jewelry company specializing in Italian charms. Pugster offers a line of accessories including charms, charm bracelets, brooches, beaded bracelets, silver rings and pendants, stainless steel earrings and Murano glass jewelry. The company primarily offers finished products but also customizes designs for wholesale and retail customers.

Acting as manufacturer, importer, distributor, retailer and wholesaler, Pugster operates entirely in-house. Pugster’s name is inspired by the owner’s pet pug Pinky. Present daily in the Pasadena offices, Pinky remains the company mascot and spirit of Pugster.

Italian charm bracelets were introduced by Italian jewelers. When the trend spread from Europe to the United States, a market was created for more affordable charms and fashion jewelry. Pugster offers a line of more than 15,000 Italian charms. Each charm is crafted with a gold plated piece, backed by high grade stainless steel.

Since its founding in 2002, the privately held company moved to Pasadena, California and continued to expand to more than 20 employees. In 2005, Pugster reached a milestone: they received 1 million positive feedback comments on eBay. Since then, they have gained wider publicity and recognition when they were invited to participate in the 2005 Billboard Music Awards Backstage Creations VIP room. Pugster products were offered as part of a gift bag to celebrity presenters and performers at this nationally televised award show.

E-Mail Marketing Tips For Faster Results

Here are 3 E-mail Marketing Tips that will HELP YOU to Generate Faster Results...

1.) The most effective times to send e-mail marketing messages are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. These days work best because everyone has had the chance to clean out their weekend e-mail. It is best to send your e-mails late in the morning.

2.) By placing a time deadline on an e-mail offer you can boost response rates! One-day sales can be very successful.

3.) Utilize online contests and offline promotional events to grow your e-mail database. Tell-a-friend campaigns can be very effective if the person telling is rewarded for spreading the word with receiving a free gift or discount.

You must always think ahead! Be smart when planning your online marketing campaigns and always keep in mind "you must give to get!"

Click here if you have any questions. Good luck in your online marketing efforts.

Article Referral From The Web Success Coach: Custom Web Site Design Or Website Template - The Big Debate

This is a very interesting article about templates verses custom design, I am recommending this article as a MUST READ...

Custom Web Site Design Or Website Templates
- The Big Debate

By Christine Anderssen
- Expert Author
Published: 2006-04-24
webpronews.com

A lot of custom web site designers are really critical of commercial website templates. I have seen snide comments on Forums and Blogs along the lines of 'This site has template written all over it'.

There are two main reasons not to like templates, and then some ways to mitigate these problems.

Lets explore these.

Templates are not original
There is something to be said for creating your own, all original work. But there is a difference between being somewhat artistic and being an artist with the capability of bringing together all the elements of a website headers, judicious use of graphics, menus and layout into a cohesive and pleasing whole. Not to talk about creating a website with a definite wow factor and one that loads fast to boot. Read on...

Have You SEEN The New AOL Television Website?

New AOL Television Site Launches...

Remember these shows: 'Welcome Back, Kotter,' 'Growing Pains,' 'Wonder Woman,' 'La Femme Nikita,' 'Alice,' 'Kung Fu,' 'Babylon 5' and many more...

AOL and Warner Bros. have teamed up In2TV is the first broadband TV network and it's got the largest collection of free TV shows anywhere on the Web. Not just highlights or listings, but full-length TV episodes with a range of choices and loads of interactive features. Online. Anytime. Always free.

Well I must admit AOL, Warner Bros and In2TV has done something totally cool here. Rumor has it the first day of launch the site was swamped with TONS and TONS new lookers and TV show lovers!

I think the Web TV Traffic has only just begun...


In my opinion this is just the tip of the iceberg for Internet TV and Video. "The World is ready for it now, really wants it, lots of it!!" More of us have grown with the technology and now have the knowledge and means to really enjoy it and appreciate the convenience of having it.

I recommend you ALL take a look at the new site and enjoy those old TV shows you watched as a kid, teenager, or perhaps for many of you young people this will be the first time you get to see what your parents watched before you were even on planet Earth, right from your Computer or iPod!
