Envelope stuffing is easily done in the comfort of home. The task of putting the contents in the envelope, addressing, sealing and stamping, is considered home-based work. It is reasonably paid job that requires no training.

It is better to do some basic planning before starting envelope stuffing at home. Assign an area in the house where you can peacefully do this work. It should be ideally away from the living area so that you can work in isolation. You’ll need a table or a desk to gather envelopes, contents, glue, stamps etc. The workspace should be of a comfortable height to avoid back strain. Then inform your family you’re not to be disturbed within a certain time period. Set goals for yourself, so that the stuffed envelopes can be delivered within the time committed. These tips can help you complete your task professionally.

Finding at-home envelope-stuffing work can be difficult. If one were to search the Internet or the newspaper advertisements, there are more chances that you would land up in a scam, where work is promised but none is given. Thus it is better to directly contact the companies and find out if they are willing to give out envelope stuffing work at home, though most companies now give work to mailing houses, which use machinery.

Only in special cases, where machines are not compatible with particular envelope types, the envelope stuffing work is done manually. Keep in touch with companies and mailing houses on a regular basis to increase your possibility of finding a job.

Envelopes provides detailed information about envelopes, envelope businesses, envelope stuffing, envelope stuffing at home and more. Envelopes is the sister site of Email Stationery.

Like I said there shall be enough material to make this ad busting into a series. In fact I have to restrain myself on most occasions when watching some of the “new” stuff on air at the moment.

Millions of Rupees and in some cases Dollars are spent on a few seconds and the following is sometimes what gets dished out. We start with the Fanta commercial with Rani Mukherjee making some weird sounds to an equally obnoxious soundtrack/jingle. The visual realm also suffers here with what seem to be the single most barf inducing graphics ever in an ad. There is no thought behind this project. If there is please let me know and put me out of my misery.

The high point of the ad is when they rhyme the words, “P.K. Bose” with, “Fanta ka dose”. How this ad ever got on air is anyone’s guess. My heartfelt condolences to the client.

Next on this list of shame is the latest Clipsal switch ad where, this lady seemingly a helper dressed in an over sized white frock is going about doing her dusting albeit rather grudgingly. We see a horrible Plaster of Paris statue scaring the crap out of her as well as us, and then for apparently no reason what so ever she flings some books towards this switchboard on the wall. Then again for no reason at all, the entire house begins to crumble. Things around the house come crashing down as if she has hit a switch that controls high magnitude earthquakes. Once again what’s going on here and more importantly why - has got me in a right twist.
Maybe one day I shall have answers to my humble queries.

What has to be my favorite or should I say my anti-favorite recently though has to be the new Indica Diesel ad. You know the one that takes forever to setup and flashes you the actual product on sale so quickly that it seems like they almost don’t want to show it to you. Usually teasers are only 5 to 10 seconds long. What we have here is like a 50 second ad with a 45 second setup. And a 5 second product shot, which is so blurry that you, cannot see much anyway.

Why oh why is this happening. May be TATA has too much money and they don’t know what to do with it. Showing a guy setting up a fishing seat in the middle of a lake for so long and then barely showing the actual product that’s on sale seems like an unsuccessful attempt at hoodwinking the masses. Why do we have to be so clever? Why do we need to waste 50 seconds selling something we don’t actually show?

I am full of questions swimming around in my head that are drowning me…. Help!

Cat spraying can cause some nasty stains and odors if not taken care of. One of the best solutions in removing cat urine stains and odors is by preventing the problem. In order to do that, you must first ask your self why your cat is spaying. Yes, there is more than one reason.

Before you can do this however, you need to first understand that cat spraying is a marking behavior and not a litter box problem.

So why do cats spray?

There are numerous reasons why cats spray. The following reasons can include marking for territory, sexual encounters or when they are in conflict with other felines.

By understanding these reasons, you are in effect able to possibly prevent your cat from spraying.

Let us take a look at how shall we.

In order to try and prevent your cat from spraying, you need to first find out which one of the reasons mentioned above fits your cats profile. Generally your vet will advise you on neutering or spaying your cat. However, before taking this route, first consider the following options;

If your cat is spraying because of a conflict problem with another cat or pet, try keeping them separated. If your cat is spraying because it sees another cat, try doing everything you can to block your cats view. If in the end you find that all attempts are futile, then most likely you will have to take the advice of your vet.

As sad as the last option may seem, it can also save your house from bad stains and odors that could potentially cost you a lot of money in the long run as you find yourself continuously purchasing pet urine cleaning products that might or might not take care of the problem, and ultimately leading you to have no choice but replace your ruined carpet or furniture, just to find it getting ruined in the same manner as the previous one.

So, as you can see, prevention is by far better than the cure when it comes to dealing with your cat spraying.

When non-profit organizations aren’t out changing the world, they’re appealing to supporters and the public for donations. Fundraising is a constant challenge for non-profit organizations and it’s not because people don’t want to give the money - it’s because people don’t always know that there’s a need.

Fundraising efforts include direct mailings, advertising, and marketing campaigns. Each of these is costly and there’s no way to guarantee return on investment. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to gain exposure and elicit donations without having to dip into the coffers? You can - they’re called “editorial placements,” or as we in media relations like to say “free advertising.”

Newspapers and magazines live and die by their content. If people don’t want to read what they’re printing, they’re in trouble. Being able to offer a print publication (or even a broadcast network) with a story that will entertain, educate, or inspires its readers is a challenge, but well worth it if it’s printed.

Which of the following newspaper placements do you think will garner more public response: an ad placed in the “weekender” or “volunteer opportunity” sections describing your organization and asking for donations; or a touching feature story about how the organization is making a difference in the community? The feature story will almost undoubtedly send more people to an organization’s Web site than an ad, and the funny this is that the feature story cost the organization nothing to secure.

Why does the public respond more strongly to a feature than an ad? Because appearing in the media provides instant legitimization. People tend to trust the organizations or people they see in the paper or on TV. If you run a non-profit animal shelter that is featured on the weekend nightly news’ adopt-a-pet segment, chances are the public will think of you first when looking to adopt a pet as opposed to if you simply placed an ad in the Sunday paper every week.

So how do you obtain “free advertising?” By reaching out to the media every chance you get. Smaller organizations that utilize community support can offer personal feature stories on certain overachieving volunteers. The media loves a good “feel good” story: how one volunteer has made such a difference, how a beneficiary of the organization’s services is thriving now, and so on. How did your organization start? Did someone sell their business to establish a women’s shelter? Does a local mother care for homeless animals on her farm? Here are some ideas to help inspire you to develop a story for your organization or cause.

Every person has a story.
Discover the stories behind the people in your organization and make the media aware of them. By “story,” I mean a simple, conversational story - the type you might tell a friend. Pitching a story to the media doesn’t mean you have to write it and offer it in its entirety. When you pitch a story, you simply let your media contact know about it. They’ll decide if it’s a fit and pursue it further.

To get an idea of the kinds of stories the paper and local networks like, spend a few weeks tuning in or scanning the pages. It will be obvious the kinds of things they’re looking for.

Pay close attention to the journalists and reporters who write on topics related to yours. These are the people you are going to want to contact with your story.

Local outlets want local stories, and this can represent multiple opportunities for media coverage. For instance, if the person your story focuses on lives in a town other than where your organization is based, you can pitch the story to both locales.

Let the world know what’s happening.
Hosting or sponsoring an event can garner more attention than a two-line announcement in the calendar section. What is the story surrounding your event? If you’re launching a clothing drive for professional attire to help women get jobs, highlight a success story, such as a woman associated with your organization who overcame hardships and landed a great job that changed her life. If you’re hosting a casual fun-day dog show for kids to benefit a local animal shelter, find a pet owner who plans to enter his or her adopted shelter dog.

Even your fundraising events can be promoted through editorial placements. You don’t have to have a high-profile MC or a gala to make the news. If this is an annual event, how do you expect to surpass last year’s donations? How were the funds used? If they built a library or added a wing to a senior center, what’s the story behind that?

Announce Everything
Organizations in large cities face direct competition for donations and media coverage. To help improve your chances of media attention, do everything you can to stay in the news (or at least in the minds of the news writers in your area). Is there a staffing change or new hire (a positive one)? Announce it. If you’ve added a service to your organization, announce it. In sales and marketing, a consumer needs to hear about a product seven times before he or she will buy it, on average. The same is true for donations to non-profits. The more often the public sees your organization in print or hears about it on the radio or on television, the more likely they will be to consider donating. Keep that in mind the next time you’ve got news to share!

Media relations is about building relationships and having an idea of what the public wants. It’s not as complicated as it may seem, after all, you are the public. What do you want to read? What would be interesting to you? Talk to your co-workers and friends and find out their opinions. Identify the media people in your area who cover the types of things you and your organization do and begin to build a relationship. Before you know it, you may have them calling you for a story.

If you’ve ever stayed at a Ritz-Carlton hotel, you know that when it comes to customer service, the Ritz does it right. Every employeefrom the bell hops to the bartendersmakes you feel welcome. And special.

So what’s this got to do with PR? Everything.

Think about it. If you’ve had a more than pleasant stay at a Ritz-Carlton, you’re going to tell your family and friends about it. Some might call this word-of-mouth or buzz marketing. I call it brilliant PR.

On the contrary, if you’ve had a less-than-satisfactory experience, you’re also likely to tell others about it. Buzz gone bad.

So the Ritz makes sure you’re welcomed with open arms. Every employee greets you with a smile and a “Good morning,” “Good afternoon” or “Good evening.”

As William Aruda notes on the MarketingProfs.com site: “Every employee gets it. They just get itand are able to deliver on it consistently. That is what makes the Ritz-Carlton brand synonymous with extreme customer service, and that’s what turns customers into evangelists.”

Amen.

So what can other businesses learn from the Ritz? They can incorporate customer service best practices into their employee training. They need to rethink how they think about PR.

At its most basic level, PR is not about a fancy-schmancy press kit or how many mentions your business gets in the media. It’s about customer service, plain and simple. That’s why it’s called public relations. A business that can relate well to its customers understands the importance of PR.

Maybe “PR” really stands for “Puttin’ on the Ritz.”

Most small business owners equate expenses with overhead items and capital expenditures such as buying a PC, notebook, printer, modem or version upgrade to Microsoft Office XP. These kind of small business owners often desperately need your computer consulting business assistance to see the big picture and the total solution.

In order to help your prospects and clients leverage their IT infrastructure, you need to elevate your price quotes, proposals and invoices from transaction status to investment.

Your Computer Consulting Business as an Investment

An investment usually has at least the perception of quantifiable and somewhat immediately measurable benefits. If you’re still proposing individual hardware and software purchase recommendations, it’s time to move your sales pitch toward a more cohesive, proactive technology plan - of which your proposed small business network becomes “mission control”.

Small business IT expenses tend to be somewhat random and haphazard. When technology is looked at as overhead, purchases are often made only when there’s an emergency.

Have a Plan

When IT investments are made, on the other hand, there’s a written plan of attack. This is the project plan that your computer consulting business started developing during your initial consultation and IT audit for how standards are supported, how purchases are made, how projects are implemented and how pilots are rolled into production use.

Take the results of the IT audit, or similar fact-finding mission, and be proactive. To run a successful computer consulting business, you must help your small business clients get out of the fire extinguisher mode.

Understanding Client’s Downtime Costs

While the investments associated with data backup, power protection or virus protection certainly are not trivial, they often become quite small in the whole scheme of things — when you compare costs to the value of the data being stored and the potential business impact if the data were partially or completely lost. It’s crucial for you to understand your computer consulting business’ client’s true costs of downtime.

It’s much easier to protect data when the data is well organized. In many small businesses, you’ll find critical data being stored on an individual’s local “c:” drive. Because the data is so decentralized, it’s nearly impossible to adequately protect the valuable information.

The Bottom Line about the Computer Consulting Business

Alternatively, data may be stored on a server in a disorganized fashion, making it difficult for others in the company to locate the files at a later date. You can add tremendous value to the installation, and help increase ROI on your client’s networking investment, by devising a well-organized file, folder, and share structure.

When visiting the North of Tanzania, for a safari, the usually itinerary is, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti and then Lake Manyara. These parks are a must, especially for the first time visitor to Tanzania.

Often Tarangire National Park is left out an itinerary, and if it is visited, it is only for a short visit before heading of to the bigger attractions of Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. This park is only a ninety-minute drive from Arusha Town, which is the usual starting point for any safari in Northern Tanzania; and therefore this park is used as a hand jumping off point to start the safari proper.

However, Tarangire deserves a closer look and a longer stay. There is an amazing bird life in this park and anyone keen on bird watching will be well rewarded. In the dry season, many animals come to the Tarangire River as this river never dries and continually has water on offer to the thirsty.

I would also recommend visiting a tented camp deep inside the park and staying at least two nights. It is quiet here and the small but permanent luxury camps are placed in the primary positions for game viewing. The tents are large and on raised wooden platforms. They have large double beds and a bathroom en-suit, with hot water. Each tent has its own personal butler and the food is excellent. Do not be put off by the word ‘tent’ this is a genuine yet intimate experience of the African bush.

As you wake early on the morning and walk onto your wooded veranda it is quite common to find you are surrounded by grazing Swala [Impala] for which the park is famed, along with its huge herds of Elephants and equally gigantic Baobab trees. Your safari experience starts from your bedroom. As you fall to sleep, the unique sounds of the nighttime bush sing you to sleep.

Few tourists venture deep inside this park and it is a real treasure, especially recommended in the dry season.
