Hiring Professional Web Designers Should Not Break Your Bank

By Stephen Grisham, Sr.

The first thing you need to know about professional web design is that both the cost and the craftsmanship can vary greatly between designers. This is why you should always review the work of designers instead of basing the decision solely on price.

In order to understand how web site design is costed it is useful to know the process of web design. An understanding of the web design process can also save you time, money and stress because you will know what the web designer expects from you at different times.

Designers should start by trying to understand what you want the site to achieve, who the site is for, what need it fills and any preferences you might have for the visual look and feel. During this stage you will likely have the most contact with the designers as they try to understand how they can best serve. An outcome of this stage is a sitemap a" a document describing what goes where in the website and how it links together.

The second stage in the web design process is to produce the visual design of the website. While this stage is going on, you should prepare for the next stage by gathering the material needed for the next stage. Cost during this stage should vary little from web site to web site.

After the visual aspects are complete you will be bringing it all together. During this stage the designers will need to implement you plan into the visual site, as well as put in any content that you want. During this stage there are often delays and additional costs so it is best, and cheapest, to prepare for it early. Remember, the more pages on your website the more this step will cost.

The final stage in the web design process is to take you finished website and open it to the public. For most websites this is relatively simple and often takes a single half day to a few days to complete.

There are a couple of other costs to keep in mind when shopping around, these are the ongoing prices of running a website. Most designers don't include these costs in their quotes so be sure to ask. The costs mainly come from domain name registration, which is buying the address that you website will be at, and from hosting the website. If you are unfamiliar with these it may be best to speak with your designer and have them recommend a service provider.

When you begin speaking with designers always be sure to let them know both your needs for the website as well as your budget. This will help the designers work with you to plan out the site, as well as let you know if everything you want is possible on the budget you have. If you have a large budget it may be good to make the hiring process as competitive as possible, just keep in min that you want to get all the quotes in writing. - 15246

What is a the purpose of a Collection Agency & when should I use?

By JR Rooney

Debt collection agencies are used by creditors that needs to collect money when the they don't have the time, resources or patience to effect collections on their own. Collection agencies are experts in getting people to resolve money issues, they have trained staff that specializes in debt negotiation and skip-tracing. This training covers a broad range of FDCPA, legal and debt collecting skills as well as a proven process for going after accounts.

As a creditor, when you hire a collection agency, they are assigned the job of collecting the debt. Normally, if the agency is successful in debt collection the collection agency will retain a percentage of the amount collected as payment for services.

Some agencies will buy the accounts but most will not. The debtor does not actually owe the collection agency any money but they still owe the debt to the original creditor. By law the collection agency must provide, if asked, proof of the debt (known as validation of debt) that they have been assigned the account for collections on behalf of the creditor.

Purchasing old debts is a big business. The collection agency is hoping that you would rather pay than get sued.

All collection companies are governed by federal laws (FDCPA) and collection agencies are not in the business of collecting fraudulent debts. However, when acting on behalf of a legitimate creditor they will take all necessary steps to enforce the collection of overdue accounts, including going to court on behalf of the creditor and reporting to the credit bureaus.

You need a debt collection company when -

the debtor has the ability to pay but ignores you the debt is past due there is not a valid dispute

A debt collection company will approach the situation through a multi-stage letter writing campaign which can be effective, if occasionally slow, but it may not lead to recovery when -

the debtor has or thinks he or she has a defense the amount owed is disputed there is an unrelated adverse claim the debtor's solvency is in doubt or there is the possibility of bankruptcy there is security to recover or a possible prejudgment remedy

If any of these issues occur, the creditor should for their own legal protection retain control of important decisions such as if and when to litigate, what attorney to use and any other decisions made prior to or during suit. This is very important where the creditor has a long term interest in keeping the customer as his client. Not retaining control of such decisions and proceeding without the advice of a qualified attorney could leave the creditor open to counter suit.

When the creditor does not wish to do additional business with the client and the creditor is not interested in the outcome of a debt collection, beyond getting his money back, they can sell the debt to a debt buyer. - 15246

Brother Knitting Machines For The Perfect Finish

By Gina Williams

Knitting is in the main carried out in two ways, hand knitting and machine knitting. If you are looking to begin machine knitting, then the best machine on the market is the brother knitting machine. If you do purchase one, then you will be able to produce the most beautiful projects. As a manufacturer they are world renown for their quality and dependability.

They are Japanese made and all the latest technology is used in the design and manufacturing of them. There are two types that are available to you, these are the punch card machine and the electronic machine. If you plan to use one just at home, then purchase a standard gauge machine with 200 needles that are 4.5 mm apart. But if you plan to start a home business then buy a bulk machine with 114 needles that are 9mm apart.

The distance between each needle determines the thickness of the yarn that can be used in the brother knitting machine. The farther apart the needles the thicker the yarn, and closer the needles, thinner is the yarn that is used. You can use thicker yarns, in a standard-gauge brother knitting machine, as it uses alternate needles for knitting; you can also every third needle if the yarn is thicker. But this reduces the needles available for knitting, and because of this the width of the knitted piece becomes narrower.

The punch card brother knitting machine can produce designs which are around 224 stitches wide. You can repeat this pattern across the whole width of the piece or use it to produce motifs in specific parts of the piece you are working on. But the only trouble with this machine is that you have to create knitted items that are either 24 stitches wide or in a amount that is evenly divided into 24.

This problem is taken care in the electronic version of the brother knitting machine. An electronic machine can produce designs with one stitch to around 200 stitches. This is the total amount of needles in a standard-gauge machine. Thus we can say that the machine produces knitted designs which are as wide as the total number of needles. If you buy a bulky version of the machine then you can produce a piece that is about 144 stitches wide.

The brother knitting machines can be applied to make patterns and pieces of different stitches without any additional effort. The fairisle pattern, single or multicolored tuck stitch, slip or skip pattern and so forth, can be easily done on this machine. You can even use laces like the drop lace, thread lace, normal lace or a fine lace to create glorious patterns. The laces used to decorate your knitted piece can be knitted into your piece using this machine.

The brother knitting machine can likewise be used to weave, and knit reversible patterns. The machine can be affixed with external attachments like ribber attachments, which is used to undertake jacquard knitting. This type of knitting is similar to fairisle knitting but without any floats.

The electronic brother knitting machine can be used to create patterns that you can acquire on the internet. By using your computer you can download patterns and then scan them for use in your knitting projects. Another feature of this machine has an optional garter carriage which can be used to knit and purl in the same row.

If you use a single bed machine then you are free to do your other work while the machine knits for you. The automated version uses one color yarn at a time, this accessory is only available with the standard gauge machines.

The brother knitting machine also has optional extra accessories like ribber attachments, four color changer, garter bar and so on. But when ever purchasing a machine always purchase it from original distributers to get the high quality machines.

Thus by using these knitting machines you can easily produce master pieces, to be gifts to your loved ones or to begin your own home business. - 15246

Discovering How To Bid On Keywords

By Brian Basch

When you are creating ads for your Google Adwords campaign you will need to build them carefully around the right keywords. This seems like commonsense and many marketers have perfected this art. They do the proper research to find the best keywords.

Pay per click advertising campaigns have other factors apart from keywords that will make them successful. Something that should be kept in mind is the fact that searchers have very short attention spans. They will not usually look beyond the first 5-10 search result pages.

This means your ad must be placed among these pages in order to be seen. How do you manage to do this? Well it all boils down to the almighty dollar.

If you have figured out Google Adwords this section may be repetitive. However if you are new to this method of marketing this is important to know. Adwords can be thought of as a large auction. There are many people bidding on frequently searched keywords, but few on little known ones.

So be aware that you are not the only person utilizing a certain keyword. How can these search engines determine where to place an ad? Because Adwords works by pay per click the highest bidder on a key word will earn the rights to a top position. These high paid keywords are welcomed by the search engines and will always gain top positions.

All this keyword research takes time. It will necessitate some experimentation and you may suffer some losses as you try to find the ideal keyword. Bear in mind the average click to sales ratio is often around 10%. This means that there will be a fair amount of wasted clicks. Your budget and the actual cost of your product should be assessed, before you start to bid on keywords.

Nobody can deny the importance of keyword research but it is good to know that bidding is also significant. If you do not make sure your ad is in a good position you will not attract enough traffic to your ad, let alone sales. So make sure you fully comprehend the bidding process so that you can build a profitable campaign.

While working out the details of your Adword campaign be sure to keep these tactics in mind. Consider this, when you build a great pulling ad it is no good condemning it into oblivion. That is just a waste of time and money. - 15246

Who Is An Article Marketer?

By Rob Metras

In order to recognize who is an article marketer, we need to come up with a definition of an article marketer first. Based upon Wikipediaas definition, an Article Marketer is a business that advertises by writing brief articles that relate to their type of industry and distributing them. The articles also include a biography of the author and citations and ways to contact the author. Articles that are written well and distributed freely can make the author and their company more credible and create new business.

Article Marketers are individuals, companies, bloggers, writers and webmasters. They are simply smart business people who comprehend the need to make sure that their name and their product is known by as many potential buyers and business contacts as possible.

We can take a closer look at yahoo.com. Yahoo is prime example of article marketing. There are articles to read about products or news clips. When you click the link there are advertising balloons and if you even look closer, the actual article is an advertisement. There is always something to sell.

Companies that sell time shares and rent vacation properties are also great examples of Article Marketers. On the web they advertise their properties by posting to a lot of article web sites, blogs and message boards which link back to their web site.

One of the newest rages in the past few years are bloggers. You can use the game World of Warcraft as an example. The video game has a huge fan base because it is basically an evolving virtual world. The game never ends and continues. The fans are very loyal and there are many fan sites out there to help with tips in the game.

The genius of this is that Blizzard who produces the game gets free advertisement, links to their sight and self promotion from dedicated fans who blog about the game. Think about, instead of spending money on marketing everything themselves, they have their dedicated fan base do it for free. This is an ultimate example of successful Article Marketing.

Dell computers is the last prime example of who uses Article Marketing. It seems these days I cannot go anywhere on the web without seeing an article about Dell, or a link to a deal that Dell is offering somewhere. Each article is a well crafted marketing tool.

Who is an Article Marketer? Once again the best answer to that question is smart business people. In this day and age, your business is nothing if your name is not well known. Get your name out there on a few well-written articles and just watch your sales grow. - 15246

Identify Existing Issues before Redesigning Offices

By Hugh Roberts

Focusing on office design and building maintenance are vital aspects to going about doing business that many company owners ignore. The design of office interiors can have a deep consequence on the disposition and efficiency of workers and upper management. Supplying a well-maintained place of work is crucial in regards to health and safety matters. Through the use of proper design and upkeep, offices are able to benefit from some amount of control over the happiness, welfare, and productivity of not only their workers, but themselves also.

It would appear to be apparent that the more contented and healthier a person is, the more prolific that someone will be. Even though company owners may understand this concept, they quite frequently ignore the consequences that office design can have on their workers. Often, building maintenance is disregarded, resulting in terrible air quality or unsafe areas inside the workplace. Moreover, the incorrect colors, furniture setup, or level of noise can depressingly impact the temperment and spirits of those operating within such a situation.

One great way to begin improving office design is to reflect on the amount of clutter that is presently in the place of work. Office interiors that allow little room for people to move can create feelings of being "closed in" or claustrophobia. Most home offices wind up structured in this manner, with extra office equipment or various stuff taking up most of the available room. By opening everything up and creating space, many individuals will get a sense of freedom. What needs to be recognized is that these sensations can turn into a more constructive mood, more contact with others, and more cooperation.

Transporting in plants and flowers can have a fantastic effect on the individuals working in a workplace. Office interiors filled with nature can have a soothing effect. When an office is experienced as too sterile, individuals can once more feel closed in, which may result in a more combative atmosphere. Try utilizing windows that look out onto green lawns or garden areas. An additional effective manner to improve office design is to be conscientious of the noise level. If workplace equipment or nearby traffic are too noisy, the noise can have a depressing impact on the people working. Try adding extra rugs, blinds, or office dividing walls to aid with any surplus noise.

An office design modification could be required when the office interiors are made up of design ideas and furniture from two to three decades ago. A lot of older office places are made murky with dark colored furniture, rugs and drapes. By shaking up the office with brighter colors and more open spaces, the work surroundings can be changed from a routine experience to one that aids to bring a cheerful and peaceful feeling to everyone who enters the new space.

Building maintenance should be looked at when going through any office design changes. Maintenance is necessary to keep all facets of the place of business in excellent working condition. Usual office cleanings keep the place of work free from grime and dirt. Things such as the roof should be upheld in order to prevent water leaks, which will just bring about more costs to the business when the inside of the place of business experiences water damage.

One facet of building maintenance that is frequently disregarded is the air quality. Any office design arrangement should include the proper amount of waste cans to collect waste the right way. Refrigerators must be in any kitchen area to avoid food from going bad. All waste should be set out in a timely manner. Plants and flowers need to be kept watered and maintained. Keep furniture away from any vents and be sure to keep up all heating and air conditioning systems.

Even though all workplaces have specific actions that need to be acted on during the course of every work day in order to be productive, don't ever underestimate the power that the right office design and building maintenance can have on the individuals in charge of completing each task. Whether working in a home office or a large corporate building, office interiors are a major part to creating the atmosphere that best helps bring in the profits all people are worried with. - 15246

Make Money Online: What Is Article Marketing?

By Rob Metras

Are you searching for a way to make money online? Some people are turning to the internet everyday to find opportunities to earn extra cash on top of their everyday job. Also, some are finding work at home opportunities that will allow them to be with their families.

Maybe you have already figured out a way to make money online. Maybe it is in form of a website. You may have already created a great looking website full of outstanding content, but now what? Where do you go from here? Where are all your visitors?

You have put a lot of time into building a really great site. You have thought of everything. It is well organized, full of information, cool features and above all it is user friendly. All this work is pointless without traffic.

In order to gain a lot of site traffic, you must plan a marketing strategy. Word of mouth is not going to cut it if high traffic is your goal. Implementing an article marketing plan may bring you the traffic you need.

In order to be successful at article marketing, you must establish a subject that you know a lot about and prove that you are an expert on that subject. You want to gain a reader base that will rely on you to provide them with information on that particular subject.

Keywords are specific words, related to your sites topic, that you include in your articles. These words are flagged when search engines are crawling and can improve your search engine results page ranking. Do not overdo it though, that will hurt your page ranking.

You articles should be kept fresh and updated. In order to be an expert, you must be up to date on what is going on. If your information is old, you will loose your readeras interest. Remember to include a couple links that will bring readers to your site. Do not overload the article with links. A simple author box with 2 links at the end of the article is efficient.

Working from home is as simple as turning on your computer. You can live your dream of becoming financially independent and free of the boss man. You can stay at home with your family and let your website do the work for you. - 15246

The Benefits of Making Money Online

By Dave Richard

I know you may have heard its difficult to make money online. The problem is, there is so much information out there and you don't know where start. 90% of the material is useless. It's easy to get frustrated with the *wrong* information. But if you have the right system, it's easy like 1 2 3.

Imagine all the benefits you would have. No more stress and no more job worries. I'm Dave, a real person and started off in same position as you're in at the moment. I hated my job and i hated my boss. I earned barely enough to pay the bills. I began looking at the internet as a way out of my situation. After 9 months I found a system that actually worked. Since then i never looked back. If you want to change your life, you need to change something.

Imagine making a decent living right from your own living room! You could work in your pajamas, with a coffee at the ready. When you work for someone else, you are making money for that person or company, but when you work for yourself, you are only making money for you and your family! In todays economy, no job outside the home is secure, but when you work for yourself, you will always have a steady stream of income because you are your own boss! You make all the decisions for your business. You also are the one who gets to reap all of the rewards. When I started my own business to make money online, I was shocked at how easy it was! I thought about all the bad bosses I have had over the years, how many times I was unappreciated by my employer, but I had to sit and take it for the sake of my family. If I had known how easy it was to make money online and be my own boss, I could have saved myself years of aggregation and disappointment.

Yes, i love my life. I'm free and nobody can stop me. I never miss a nba game. I can help my daughter with her homework. I have time to cook evey day. I earn my money online. I make my wife feel proud and i'm proud of myself!

And it's so easy! Every day I kick myself for not trying it sooner! But alas, all of that is in the past, and now I am grateful to have the freedom to do whatever I want to do. If you've worked hard all your life for someone else, don't you owe it to yourself to be your own boss and start making money online today? - 15246

I hated my job and i hated my boss. I earned barely enough to pay the bills. I began looking at the internet as a way out of my situation. After 9 months I found a system that actually worked. Since then i never looked back. If you want to change your life, you need to change something.

What would you do if you could change your life right now? Go on holiday? Go shopping? Sounds great, doesn't it. Wake up in the morning, work a few hours from your laptop in the living room, then call it your day. This could soon be a reality. Don't wait another day to enjoy life with your family. In todays economy, no job is save. Are you ready to be fired tomorrow? Once you are making a decent income online, you are your own boss!

All I ever wanted was to control my own life. The online business can be run from anywhere in the world. This is a big piece of freedom. Finally, i can travel the world. This is freedom! There are no disadvantages of making money online.

And it's so easy! Every day I kick myself for not trying it sooner! But alas, all of that is in the past, and now I am grateful to have the freedom to do whatever I want to do. If you've worked hard all your life for someone else, don't you owe it to yourself to be your own boss and start making money online today? - 15246

How Twitter Quickly Became a Must Have Marketing Tool

By Jay NaPier

Choosing the right marketing for your business can be a challenge. When it comes to web 2.0 markeitng it then becomes a question of time and value. Is it worth your time to use twitter in your business?

Most business owners should be using Twitter. It's a direct connection to their clients and to potential clients. You can quickly stay connected to the people who make your business profitable and easily build a list of
potential new clients.

Email marketing is basically useless these days, you can't guarantee that your customers will get their email. Twitter can get the message out. What would a 900 people list be worth to you? What if you could do it in 90 days or less? And when you post to Twitter, the message will go on their page.

Connecting with your customers is important in maintaining your customer relationships. With Twitter, you do this by answering the question "What are you doing?" Twitter has Spam and you don't want to participate, so make sure your smart about what you say and how you say it.

Are you ready to get the conversation going? Ask a question, like "Would you like to goto Hawaii for $199 for the week?" or "Did you vote today?" Your followers will simply reply back with a direct message (dm) by simply putting @jaynapier and answering the question.

If you want to know what your customers are thinking, this is your open page to create that 2-way conversation that will produce a stronger business. I recently saw where Dirks Bentley is offering a free tree ornament when you renew your fan club membership. It's great PR and what I feel is the best web 2.0 that
is not video. - 15246

Chiropractic Marketing - How to Beat the Current Recession

By Matthew Loop, DC

It's hard to believe that three years have passed already since I introduced the chiropractic profession to Web 2.0 social media marketing. What first began as marketing on just social networks like Myspace, YouTube, and Facebook, has expanded to encompass the vast, new and rapidly growing online media outlets. If you were to take a snapshot at the growth of this Web 2.0 phenomenon back in 2005 and compare it now, it would appear like a virus that literally doubled every 24 hours. Now, I'm not just speaking about huge-growth of a new phase of the internet and communication. I am also referring to the massively profitable nature that comes with this technology for your chiropractic practice and the ability to easily generate multiple sources of income at a staggering rate.

The days of back-breaking, paid marketing and advertising are over by many standards. In the struggling economy that is upon us, chiropractors that still use "stone-age" methods to acquire new patients are finding that success is few and far in-between. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and embrace these exciting and much-needed changes in chiropractic marketing.

Quite frankly, my "economy" is booming just like the hundreds of other chiropractors that have started to implement strategic methods for social media marketing. A global shift has occurred and the question you have to ask is, "Do you want to be a part of this goldmine or do you want to be left-out in the cold?"

Below is a quick-list of a few sites that I readily frequent (and I highly recommend you do as well) in my Web 2.0 marketing endeavors for my chiropractic practice and the other streams of revenue that continue to flow. Begin at YouTube.com, Digg.com, Squidoo.com, EzineArticles.com, StumbleUpon.com, Facebook.com, Twitter.com, Myspace.com, Free-Press-Release.com, Wordpress.com, Photobucket.com, Furl.com, and eHow.com.

There are greater than two-hundred websites that are empty canvases for your marketing masterpiece. For the sake of example, I only named a few. If you really want to tap into the full power of it, you need someone who is knowledgeable in all of these sites, and the specific tactics for how to milk them. The good news is, you don't need to do it alone. Your profession and skill is at being a chiropractor, so you need to find someone who can expertly do these things for you, and teach you along the way.

Even the incredible time saving and leveraged-based tools I use and recommend can be easily shown to a CA or marketing director for use. The most important thing is to be coachable, as this may be a new language to many chiropractic marketing newbies and veterans.

You can even make your practice an online money-maker with Web 2.0 social media. There's nothing that beats getting-up in the morning and knowing that Web 2.0 has been working for you throughout the night, making more money and connections. Sometimes it seems like a dream that business can happen so effortlessly and successfully, but there are other chiropractors who are living this dream, so I know it's a reality.

When you create other forms of income while marketing your practice online, you make your practice entirely recession-proof; nothing can stop you. You need to be courageous and an innovator to do this. You have to think out of the box and ride the wave of the future.

Here's a great example of just one of the tactics you can use online: Think of some piece of knowledge that is of value to people online. Perhaps you create a channel with a weekly discussion series about some topic in chiropractics. When you do something like this and offer your services on the web, the world audience will listen to you and know who you are. This means that when the time comes for them to need a chiropractor, you're the first one they think of! When you create a YouTube video of this kind, you won't believe the traffic of new patients you'll get.

Be creative and you will find this new, powerful virtual world will bring you boatloads of new patients, build social proof, and allow you to generate multiple streams of residual income. - 15246

Healthcare Services Advance With Article Marketing

By Rob Metras

When people need to find out information on any given topic, the most often turn to the internet for the answer. Since this is the case, a lot of companies and business also need to make sure that they have their information posted on the internet somewhere. Health care companies and businesses should also follow this trend because people often need to find their information quickly with no delays.

When one thinks of healthcare services, the first thing that pops into mind is their family doctor or local hospital, but it goes beyond that. The healthcare industry consists of doctors, drug companies, alternative care providers, even the nurse that posts advice on a blog on his or her time off.

The internet has such wide range thus making it an outstanding marketing tool for any business or industry. The health care also takes advantage by providing advertisements about their locations, services, and credentials. To increase traffic to their website they may also post blogs and other advertisements in a healthcare marketing circle to increase visitation.

The information needs to be succinct and to the point so that readers get the necessary information with accuracy. Also suggest to always seek advice before making any major changes to their medical needs.

When you write a health care marketing article you could insert information about the product or service you are providing. This would allow people to see why it would be a good product or service to use. Links and other information about the product in the article would be a nice advertising tool without appearing to be an advertisement.

Managing A Successful AdWords Campaign

By Brian Basch

It is deceivingly easy to embark on an Adwords campaign, but not so easy to run a successful one. In fact you will easily detect the difference between a successful campaign and one that is barely making it. In fact an Adwords campaign that is not working will cost you a lot of money, and prevent you from progressing in your business.

How can you stop your hard earned money from being eaten up? The answer is transparent; you will need to pay attention to every detail of your Adwords campaign. Firstly you will need to take care when you choose your keywords, secondly be careful when you bid. But above all you will need to micro-manage your campaigns.

Choosing keywords can be difficult. The best keyword is one that can attract good amounts of general traffic, but at the same time draw your nice market to your website. When you think about it the aim of your ad is to make sales, because if you do not do this you will lose a lot of money.

The Google Adwords site provides a number of tools for keyword research, for your Adwords campaign. These resources will help marketers to find popular keywords, synonyms and many other different variations of your keyword.

What a lot of marketers fail to understand is the fact that pay per click marketing on the Internet, is actually a huge auction, with the highest bidder winning. Of course in these circumstances the advertiser who can put up the most money for a particular keyword becomes the highest bidder. This will put them in the best position for the greatest exposure.

It is well known that searchers simply do not look beyond the first 5-10 pages of their search results. This makes it very important to get a prime position. Also be sure that your actual ad is simply written and easy to understand. Do not let it get lost in the crowd. Above all be sure that even if it brings a lot of traffic, your ad must also pull in sales.

Monitoring your campaign is the key to the success of your Adwords campaign. Thisis made easier by the fact that Google provides tracking tools to do this. You can track the traffic and even sales that are generated by each keyword in your campaign. this makes adjustments to your campaign easy to do.

Be sure to manage your campaign carefully, from the very beginning. Especially be aware of sales conversions. Be alert and ready to make changes quickly to avoid later problems. You can also co-ordinate your campaign results with your website tracking software, to check sales and traffic. The way to see real profits is to manage your campaign well. - 15246

Why is Office Design so Important?

By James Fisher

Keeping one's eye on office design and building maintenance are imperative parts to doing business that many corporation owners ignore. The design of office interiors can have an intense end result on the disposition and productivity of staff members and executives. Supplying a well-maintained workplace is crucial in reference to health and safety issues. By using proper design and upkeep, companies are able to enjoy some amount of control over the gladness, welfare, and effectiveness of not only their staff members, but themselves also.

It would seem to be obvious that the better off and healthier a person is, the more creative that someone will be. Even if business owners might understand this idea, they quite often disregard the results that office design can have on their employees. Often, building maintenance is neglected, resulting in terrible air quality or hazardous areas inside the place of work. Furthermore, the wrong colors, furniture setup, or noise level can depressingly effect the character and minds of those operating within such circumstances.

One fantastic way to start improving office design is to consider the total amount of untidiness that is currently in the place of work. Office interiors that permit little room for movement can generate emotions of being "closed in" or claustrophobia. A lot of home offices end up structured in this style, with too much office equipment or furnishings using up most of the available room. By opening everything up and producing space, many individuals will feel a sense of freedom. What must be realized is that these emotions can turn into a more positive mood, more contact with others, and more teamwork.

Bringing in plants and flowers can have a fantastic result on the individuals working in a workplace. Office interiors full of nature can have a soothing effect. When an office feels too sterile, individuals can yet again feel closed in, which might result in a more antagonistic office space. Try using windows that reveal fresh lawns or garden areas. Another helpful manner to improve office design is to be conscientious of the noise level. If workplace equipment or nearby traffic are too deafening, the sound can have a depressing impact on those working. Try using extra carpet, drapes, or office dividing walls to help with any extra noise.

An office design change might be required when the office interiors consist of design plans and furniture from two to three decades ago. Numerous older office places are made murky with dark colored furniture, carpets and blinds. By shaking up the office with lighter colors and additional open spaces, the work atmosphere can be changed from a dull experience to one that helps out to bring a cheery and calm feeling to everybody who enters the reorganized space.

Building maintenance has to be thought about when making any office design changes. Maintenance is required to keep all facets of the office in excellent working condition. Normal office cleanings keep the workspace free from grime and dirt. Things such as the roof should be sustained in order to prevent water leaks, which will just result in more costs to the owner when the inside of the office endures water damage.

One aspect to building maintenance that is often disregarded is the air quality. Any office design arrangement needs to include the right total of trash cans to collect waste the right way. Refrigerators should be in any kitchen region to keep food from going bad. All trash needs to be taken out in a timely manner. Plants and flowers need to be kept watered and cared for. Furniture should be kept away from every vent and be sure to keep up all air conditioning and heating systems.

Even though all businesses have precise actions that need to be acted on during the course of each work day in order to be fruitful, by no means underestimate the control that the right office design and building maintenance can have on the workers in charge of doing each task. Whether existing in a home office or a huge corporate building, office interiors are a huge part to creating the atmosphere that best assists to bring in the revenue everybody is concerned about . - 15246

Overnight Shipping: Is it Really "Overnight"?

By Amy Nutt

During an advertisement for an overnight shipping service, an announcer seriously intones 'When it absolutely positively has to be there overnight.' But for many, the question remains if the mail is truly delivered during the night time.

The answer is both yes and no.

Logistics of Overnight Delivery

Overnight delivery policies and rates may differ from carrier to carrier, but most share one thing in common -- time frames in which overnight packages can be delivered fluctuate greatly. Factors, such as when the package was handed over to a shipping representative, can greatly affect whether important mail is sent out before the close of business.

For instance, if you were to take a package to the local shipping center of your choice before noon, your package will be in transit and may arrive at your destination the following day. If however, you get the package in near the time of closing, the package may be placed in transit but cannot be guaranteed to be delivered the next day.

Now, in regards to the terminology 'overnight' can be a bit misleading.

As in our earlier example, if a package arrives at a service center early enough and is designated as an overnight shipment, it will immediately be sorted in the overnight bin for delivery. This means that it will actually be en route to its destination that very day. If it comes later in the evening, most commonly after 3 PM, then the package will be placed on a mail freight air service and in some cases, this air cargo will ship out in the evening.

Again this can also depends on the policies of the company and the type of overnight delivery service you choose.

Types of Overnight Delivery

Just as there are several different mail carrier agencies, there are different types of overnight delivery packages. Depending on what you need to accomplish, the cost of the service may be expensive.

Critical Overnight

There are many packages that absolutely have to arrive on time, and in some instances, such as with medical supplies, it can literally be a matter of life or death. With critical overnight shipments, packages can be guaranteed to get there the very next day to all fifty states, and in some cases Puerto Rico or Canada. This is because the service offers special air carriage 365 days a year and seven days a week. Most other services only occur during the business week.

International options are also available although, depending on where the destination location is, it may not exactly get there on time. When purchasing Critical overnight service, keep in mind the fact that the guarantee is somewhat limited and look into other options before paying the extra expense of critical overnight shipping.

Next day Air

By utilizing commercial airlines, next day air packages can be delivered to any major US city in the US. Using modern day technology, like route optimization technology, shipments can be safely and effectively delivered on time when applicable. Next day air is a cost effective way of getting shipments to the proper locale but carries an even lesser degree of guarantee than critical overnight.

Again, if in doubt, discuss with the shipping representatives what the pros and cons of using Next Day Air.

Next day Air Saver Shipping

This type of next day service only delivers within the continental US and cannot guarantee early morning delivery. Anyone who chooses this less costly route needs to be aware of that all important fact, especially if the package has to be there before noon.

If the time of morning does not matter, but getting it there the following day does, this is a wonderful option and is less expensive than the aforementioned services.

So, does overnight shipping overnight--it depends on the time you drop off your package and what courier delivery service you utilize-but the one thing you can be certain of is that overnight shipping will get your package where it needs to be in the fastest amount of time possible. - 15246

Do You Really Need Freight Shipping For Large Boxes?

By Amy Nutt

Freight shipping, which is usually determined by weight, is the way to go when you have an extremely large package that won't be able to be delivered via traditional methods. A good example of this is furniture delivery - one cannot box up a sofa and bring it into the local post office.

While it is okay to bring some large parcels into a normal courier agency, most of them cannot exceed 70 pounds for overnight service. Freight companies on the other hand, can deliver several hundred pounds of merchandise. The mode of transportation for these services can vary and often include:

- Ocean liners - Airplanes - Trucks and - Trains

The transit options you choose will greatly depend on the time frame you are working with as well as the item to be delivered. For example, if one is having a car delivered in the continental United States, it may very well arrive via train or freight truck. On the other hand, take this same car and move it to Europe and it may be delivered first by train then by cargo ship.

Freight costs fluctuate and are calculated by the weight and class of the item. Freight shipping is also determined by whether the shipment is a commercial or a residential one.

Finding Good Joint Venture Partners on Article Directories

By Stu McLaren

I was asked a great question the other day that I just had to share with you. Here is how it went; "I am looking to setup joint venture partnerships with people that I found off of article directories. There are such a wide variety of people on there. How do I know which of those people are worth pursuing?" Within this article is my response to that person.

You are right. There are a wide variety of people on articles directories, and the key there is you are going to want to develop your own filtering system to decide who you want to work with and who you do not. Generally, here are a couple of things that I like to look for. Number one Am I getting a good vibe from it the person's message. Are they in it for the long haul?

I like to do business with people who are interested in long-term relationships. I am not a quick fix guy. I do not like a relationship where we are together for one short period and then that is it. I am always looking for that. I am looking to see if they have created partnerships or done projects together with other people in the past? If they have, then I would even go as far as contacting some of those people.

For example, recently a very well-known marketer contacted us to do affiliate management for them. One of the first things that I did was I contacted somebody else I knew they worked with and had done work with them in the past and said, "What was your experience like?" And that was eye opening. I learned a lot by asking that question.

In addition to past experience, another importan filtering criterion is how your potential partners market to their customers. Join their list and you will learn the answer. You will also learn how they communicate with their subscribers. Joining their list will send you vibes, so you will know how you feel about them - do you like them or not.

Another suggestion I can give is to become a customer of the people you are interested in. I guess this might be an extra mile to go but it will give you hands-on experience about the way they treat their customers.

A good way to see a potential JV's conversion is to join their affiliate program because you can see exactly how many people you send to their website and how many people buy. So you could see if it is a good selling product just by becoming an affiliate of them and then marketing their own product. - 15246

Credit Cards for Canadians in Business

By Dewey Finn

Small business credit cards were designed to help those families and individuals that often have difficulty getting credit lines, since they own their own business. You would think that owning a small business would spark some interest, rather these people, like those will not so goog credit are considered risky candidates for credit lines. In this article, we are going to review some of the small Canadian business credit cards, what they offer and why some cards are not your best options.

Why do you need a business credit card? What is the purpose of having a major credit card? Can I control my spending if I apply for a major credit card? Notice this piece started out with questions, which I feel are three of the most important question anyone should ask, seeking a credit card. If you do not ask these questions before a applying for a credit card, guess what you will be saying later. Why did I apply for a credit card? What was my purpose? I wish I could have controlled my spending. This may or may not happen, but if you are searching for a credit card, you may want to ask your self-first, why you need a credit card. YES or NO the answer is clear you need to apply for a business credit card to keep things straight.

Balance Transfer cards offer fixed rates for the endurance of the 'balance, and for the balance transfers made sometimes up to six months of the cards membership. The annual fees on few of these cards for the standard cardholder. This applies also to additional cards, 'unless you are the cardholder' that qualifies for the "Business Charge Card Product." In this case, your annual fees are reduced for the standard cards. Of course, they present a slick by offering the cards to small business owners for the first year, free. You must have good credit ratings to apply for this card. Otherwise, the fees may increase, if you are able to get the card.

The Business Network has no financial charges, with no pre-set limits for spending, and the first year the card is free. The annual percentage rates are free for the Additional cards also. The company will send you a monthly 'expense management report' as well as offering 'online account management. Again, you must have good credit to qualify for the Business Gold type cards.

The Platinum Business Cards from companies like American Express have no annual fees, and "pay over time" plus 0% APR on all purchases made on the card plus the balance transfer. The card is good for small business owners that have good credit.

Some Canadian Small Business Credit Cards offer rebates and enable you to earn money back on eligible purchases on the credit card. The cards have a 'built-in smart chip for Internet security,' and have no limits on the cash rebates. This card qualifies small business owners with good credit.

Let's stop and review the cards shortly to see which cards are best for you? I'm considering the last card on the list, since some of the Business Cards offer cash back rewards, and does not appear to have an annual fee. However, I would read the Terms & Conditions, since it might state in the agreement that an annual fee will apply after the first year. You want to know what the fee is on this card. The cards that promote annual fees are cards you want to be careful of when applying, since some have hidden stipulations and fees. The "Built-in Smart chip for Internet Security is also appealing, since this is not always offered with credit cards, and the security is worth paying an annual fee, since you are protected. NOTE: be sure to look in the Terms & Agreements, searching for Fraud Protection. Since the card providers put a chip on the card of course you are protected more so if you didn't have the chip; still you want to know what the fees if any are if the card is lost or stolen. There should not be any fees; however, some card providers will do their best to get money.

The three preceding ideas for cards may be of some value, however, the offers do not seem appealing since you have high interest rates possibly after the Introductory, and as well, you have annual fees with no rewards. - 15246
