A great many firms sell reports on how to code your advertising for $3 or more, when it's nothing you can't learn with a little study of a few mail order publications.

You decide to run ads for different products in three publications and teaser ads for your catalogs in two others, one for each publisher's catalog.

If Your Sales Strategy Is Not Clear Sales Will Suffer
Ask any of your sales managers to define sales strategy and you might get a myriad of responses. Some right, some wrong and many just vague. Ask them to define operational effectiveness and you will tend to get more accurate answers depending on the level of the manager.Strategy is the what – direction of the organization. Organizational effectiveness is the how – how you are getting there. The problem is that if your strategy is unclear, vague or downright wrong it doesn’t matter in the long term how effective you are as an organization – sooner or later you will fail due to any number of outside forces:- competition - the economy - technology - consumer changes in attitudes - the global market place - an aging populationThink of it as a matrix; Draw a four quadrant box.

The 80/20 Rule In Business
Although it has been talked about again and again in business circles, the 80/20 rule never ceases to amaze me. You may be amazed too. If you're not up to speed on the 80/20 Rule yet, read on. You may also know it as the ‘Pareto Principle' after Vilfredo Pareto who made the interesting discovery that people seemed to split into the top 20% ‘movers and shakers' (both monetary and influentially) and the bottom 80% who could be defined as ‘followers'. This was just the start though, as through further research he (and others) discovered that most economic activity followed this model as well.One thing I noticed years ago, when I worked in manufacturing distribution was that 20% of our distributors were responsible for 80 % of the sales throughout the UK.
