Gifts (46)
You need customers now but you've waited until the last minute to start an advertising campaign. How are you going to get customers at such a late date?
One word: perks.
Use these perks to help you turn a potential customer into a paying customer.
Free Shipping:People love the convenience of shopping online. But they don't like paying for shipping. Offer your customer free shipping and you'll generate more sales than you'll lose in shipping costs.
Tip: When developing your free shipping special, consider a minimum order amount before the free shipping offer kicks in.
Discounts:
Who says 10 percent doesn't go a long way? Discounts can help you obtain long-term customers the easy way.
Gifts:
If a customer orders an item you specify or a minimum amount of products/services, give them a special gift. The gifts you give don't have to cost too much. They're just a way for you to show your customers your appreciation for their business.
Specials:
Having different specials every month gives customers a variety of reasons to keep coming back. Give your specials a variety so they can appeal to all customers. For instance, you wouldn't want to offer a free coffeemaker with every dishwasher purchase month after month after month.
No Payments:
If you can offer financing or delay someone's payments for a period of time, this is an excellent way to get people in your store. Be sure you have the proper financing restrictions and policies in place before offering this option to your customers.
Easy Billing:
Splitting your billing into two or more easy payments for your customers gives customers more of an incentive to make expensive purchases.
Giveaway:
Giving away products drives people to your store with little to no cost to you. You can require customers to have to fill out an entry form for your giveaway in person to get them in your store.
Sale:
The most basic of advertising opportunities is often the most overlooked. Having a sale requires advertising through outside mediums but if your sale is good, customers will flock to your store with wallets in hand.
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act ofcaring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. LeoBuscaglia
During this Christmas season many people stress themselves out and may become depressed due to their inability to provide what they wantfor their loved ones. Often times we allow this to be the season ofbeat down. Yes, I said that and what I mean is that you may beatyourself down because you’re unable to do better than you did last yearor you can’t get that special gift that you know your loved one desires.
Don’t feel bad it’s a human feeling, however, we are responsible for our actions. Are you responding this year the same way you respondedlast year? Are you allowing this season which is a season of giving tobecome a dreaded time of year? It is the season of giving not simplybecause of what we give but rather what God gave to us, “His gift” Hisonly Son Jesus Christ.
Don’t forget the true meaning of Christmas. It is a time that we as Christians celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Itis then and only then that you can remember and take to heart themessage in the above quote. There is power in the things that we deemvery small. Sure it’s good to give tangible gifts, however, in themidst of your busy endeavors to fulfill the wants of your loved onesdon’t forget passers by or that sister that was put on your heart whomay be going through this year because her loved one is no longer herethis Christmas. Place a phone call, send a card. If you see her atchurch take an extra minute to greet her with an endearing look intoher eye and embrace her with a hug. This can turn a life around.
Give the gift of Authentic caring this Christmas and always. That’s a gift worth giving.
Merry Christmas!

You have to keep your sense of humor being self employed. I completed a 30 day Blog A Day Challenge. (Yay ME!). Then some nefarious virus high jacked my computer and would not let me connect to the internet unless I paid $69.99 to add their bogus Microsoft Think Pad. My computer is at the shop now. (I'm at the library. Time for a Mac.)
I could have handled this one of two ways. 1) I could have freaked out and got nothing done or 2) I could do what I did. After I was unable to remove it (not using Norton but another software program) I had a good laugh and crocheted a cap. Why stress over something you can't change at the moment. Stress takes a physical toll on your body so don't give into it. Rechannel that stress energy into something else.
Regarding the blogging my stats went up; I had people join; click to my sell site. By me being consistent people were coming back on a regular basis to check out my blog, so if you're not doing it get started. Smile.
How would you have handled the situation?
I would love to provide your handmade unique gifts for the holidays.

Ladies, we are the wave of the future. We are momas, sisters, grandmothers, nieces and CEO's! It's time we take our business to all the the levels that our male counterparts do. Why not? We do everything else together..AMEN, wives??
As the wave of the future, we need to register our business with Registered Black. Am I knocking our sisters of another nationality, race, creed, or color? No, but its time we stand at the head of the LINE!
I ask you, are you registerd?
What if there were a way to put those Social Networks, Micro-Blogs, and YouTube Videos to Real Life Use by creating Real Customers, Affiliates, and Business Partners that could pay you an Instant Income for each new registration?
Now MLM is one thing, but effective networking is another. My recent saying in the business industry is you GET what you pay for and if you expect everything to come to you for free, well you are going to get spam, weirdos, fake customers and many headaches.
What does registering black mean for you? It means you are stepping up to the front of the line in your blue business suit, with 5 inch heels, carring the word and standing on it.
So, lets get on this together; 2010 is half over....what are you going to do differently?
Well, register black today.

I have always believed and shared that each of us has a path to follow and if we follow that path we can not fail. Since I have put that into practice, it has been an amazing journey. I started out as a blogtalk radio host and then went on to have a show on Internet Radio and from there to having my own 24 hour, 365 days a year Internet Radio Station.. It is so true that networking helps you get to where you want to go, even if your not exactly sure where that is. This is where the path comes in. All I really know is that I wanted to help people, because helping others is the real secret. I have always been taught from a child on ( and it has proven true time and time again ) that if you help others you really help yourself and doesn't it make the world a more beautiful place when we help each other?
I help the Independent Musical Artists, Author, Spoken Word Artist and Poet get the word out about themselves and their projects as well as the the business owner get the word out about their business, product or service. Ah, the satisfaction of knowing that I am helping so many others is sometimes overwhelming but, it makes all my efforts worthwhile.
On WDGP we play the best of Independent music from all genres including but not limited to Gospel, Hip-Hop, Rhythm and Blues, Soul, Neo-Soul, Old School, Pop, Top 40, Blues etc. WDGP will not be put into a box, if the music moves you and poetry makes you feel something, it can be heard on WDGP Radio.The music and the interviews are done at no cost to the Artist. We are supported by donations (you can contribute to us through Paypal via link on our website.) and advertising. Advertising on WDGP is very affordable. We air your advertising spot of 30 - 60 seconds at a much more economical price then traditional radio or print media.
If you are an Independent Artists with a project to be promoted you can go to our website and click on Submissions to find out how to get your project heard not just on WDGP, but many other Internet Radio stations.
If you seek advertising, please contact us at advertising@wdgpradio.com
I am looking forward to networking and assisting you in any way I can. Thanks for reading and please check out WDGP radio.
As I awaken with the gift of yet another day and prepare for the tasks at hand, Ioffer up this most ardent prayer:
I pray for continued clarity of purpose so that I may hold my vision steady andkeep my focus on the needs and success of others, which in turn shall bring memy success.
I pray for the wisdom to expect abundance in my life, that it surrounds me and isavailable for the taking and to be shameless and unapologetic upon its receipt,for I deserve abundance.
I pray for a cheerful countenance, be it clear or cloudy skies and that I mayradiate and infect others with my positive attitude.
I pray for the trust of others that they may recognize my sincerity and trueintentions so that we may move forward together.
I pray for the strength to fend off adversity and use my desire and determinationas both weapon and shield.
I pray for the courage to carry forth my convictions during the battle ofbusiness and to resist temptation to a quicker monetary result when such temptationcompromises these things for which I stand.
I pray that I may be used as a lightning rod to collect the amazing ideasalready present in the universe and when blessed with such inspiration, that Imay be able to apply my talents and abilities to turn the power of thought intomeasurable advancement of my goals.
I pray to retain my childhood wonder so that I can recognize and revel in thesmall miracles of each day that others may miss.
I pray for an infinite supply of self-confidence for it alone fortifies faith,strengthens my resolve and conquers the largest enemy I will ever face - fear.
I pray for a compassionate spirit and the patience to offer those who seek myadvice and my help, my full and undivided attention.
I pray for good health and a feeling of well being, and the continued desire toimprove those areas of my physical life I may be neglecting in the name of myspiritual and entrepreneurial advancement.
I pray that today is a day of excellence and at its conclusion I can acknowledgeand be grateful for the forward motion I have made and the growth I haveexperienced.
I pray most of all for the understanding and support of those closest to myheart, my family, that they will equate what may seem like endless hours ofapparent pre-occupation with affairs of business to what is at the very core ofmy being, that which drives me, for once I achieve what I have set out in itsfullest, I will become that more complete being I strive to be.
It is for these things that I pray, for I am an entrepreneur.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen
