Before:

Contact the local media. Offer the press interviews with your expert members - about the association issues and importance to the local community. Send your media package to the media before you arrive. Include information about your association, your publication, your conference outline, and key contact names for interviews. Ask the local convention bureau to help establish contact. Then follow-up.

Get more value from your speakers. Ask your high profile speakers to donate a speech to a school, charity group, service group, community association or city hall. You might be spending several thousand dollars for their presentation and travel. Ask them for a little bit more. Offer the speaker a token amount to do this additional community work on behalf of your association. Make sure the attendees to this community speech know you are the sponsor. And tell the media.

Ask your speakers to do media interviews. Get a media kit from each. Give them your media contacts and encourage them to contact the media directly. Remind your speakers to talk about your association when they are interviewed.

Connect with the local community. Invite local students from the high schools, college or university to attend (free) portions of your conference. Make contact with teachers, professors, or department heads. Ask your host chapter to arrange this. The teachers might select the students or you might hold a contest to pick the winners.

Arrange an event with a local school, group or charity. Contact the university, college, high schools, Junior achievement, Chamber of Commerce or charity. Ask what you can do for them to help their cause and issues.

During: Send post cards to your members who did not attend. Give every attendee five post cards to mail. Buy local tourist shots or custom print them. "Wish you were here."

Feed the media. Write a news release each day. Collect advice and quotes from your speakers and attendees and send it to the media each day. Send information to the local radio and TV hosts - all of them - especially the weather announcers - they are always trying to be entertaining. Conduct interviews of the person in the street. What do they think of "members of your association?" Publish these comments in a news release and on your web-site.

Make it easy for the media. Post a "Media check in" sign at the registration table. Assign one or more of your people to help the media when they arrive. Pick up the local papers and magazines. Add the names and addresses of editors and reporters to your media database.

Create a newsworthy event. Plant a tree - plant 100 trees, offer free financial advice to unwed mothers, clean up a park, give a seminar for small business, give advice for the unemployed. Do something in a public place that gets attention. Grant an honorary membership or award to some distinguished member of that community. Get all attendees to sign a gigantic thank you note and present it to the mayor for being such a wonderful host. Think photo opportunity.

By the Time the Financial Numbers Show Red, the Company is Already Bleeding
There are many important imperatives and factors which are not quantified or measurable by the traditional accounting system.Human capital is perhaps the single most critical success factor for companies. But its importance cannot be captured or measured by the financial numbers. One can anticipate the failure of companies by observing the high defections within their middle and senior management ranks. The exodus of these key managers is the precursor to a much more severe problem, which can impact the continuity of execution and administration of the company.Another intangible fact

Truck Wash Equipment and a Look at Ryko System Truck Wash Components
One of the early adopters of robotic truck washing equipment Ryko systems. Today there are many other companies in the marketplace that compete with them and they have lost their large market share. It appears Ryko went through a bit of a drought for a decade or two. Since then it appears that Ryko, has cleaned up their act a little. But they just have too many old units out there that are rusted old junk these days. They need to get with the program really.They could do something with their market share lead and longevity of brand in the commercial truck-cleaning category. But I bet they get bought ou

Big Blow Up Gorillas for Adverting Your Store
Perhaps you have seen the catalogs or talk to a company that rents giant blowup guerrillas that you can use to help advertise your store. But does it really makes sense to put a big blow up guerrilla in front of your store to make people look and get their attention? In some cases it does, but consider if you will that the guerrilla needs to wear a sign on his chest that says; Big Sale!Why you ask? Well because otherwise you confuse your customer; sure they know something big is going on over at your store because there's this giant blowup guerrilla there, but they have no clue as to what is going o

Whine, Moan & Complain - Then Contribute!
Every month I receive messages from students and readers that begin, ‘I got such terrible service from…’ and often close, ‘…and I’ll never go back there again!’I find these stories upsetting, occasionally entertaining, but rarely are they motivating or instructive.Here’s why:Anyone with enough intelligence and emotion to muster a written complaint also has the ability to offer a constructive solution. If you can see what’s wrong with a situation, you must have some idea about what would set it right.Noticing problems is half the puzzle; getting things improved is the more important

Make local contact. Arrange for your president and executive director to meet the mayor for lunch or breakfast. Arrange breakfast or lunch between some of your high profile members and prominent members of that community. Visit the President or CEO of local companies who may have or should have members in your association.

After:

Encourage your attendees to call three members who did not attend and tell them what they missed.

Summarize the conference - the highlights and best ideas. And why the location was perfect. Send it to the local media, your members and post on your web-site. Write letters to the editors of the local media. What you loved about the location and people or what you disliked. Encourage your attendees to do the same. Make copies of all media coverage for next year's media kit. Put in on your web-site. Log all media coverage you received and post on your web site.

Ask the mayor to write a letter of introduction to the mayor of next year's conference.

And you thought it would be a vacation. It is a marketing opportunity!

The Federal Trade Commission has now completed its new revision of the Franchise Rule, a set of regulations, which has not been changed since the 1970s if you can believe it? Outrageous to think that the Federal Government could be so inept or non-responding to the needs of the free market or the Franchising Community, which represents nearly 1/3 of every consumer dollar spent in the United States of America.

It was not very long ago that the only place that thought about kids were the big fast food chains, and even then limited by offering a small toy with the purchase of a hamburger.
