We've a health store in London called Bio Organix. It is running well but bit slow. We want to take it to the targeted level but we are getting very few customer especially new customer. We get almost 95% customer back and retention rate is very good but to attract new customer is tough.We tried local advertising and leafleting. We have no more marketing budget. Please advise us best ways to get in customer into the store.
moreResolved Question: In the Philippines, are you in favor of Local Cable TV for townships and cities?
The idea would create jobs in TV broadcasting and communications industries, new jobs to broadcast engineers to producers to writers and many more.
Local Cable TV stations can produce local morning shows, local news, sit com, dramas, and game shows using local talent.
It can be funded by wealthy local entrepreneurs or as cooperatives or affiliates of the giants in the Philippines broadcasting industry like ABS-CBN Corporation and GMA Network Inc.
It would create jobs in the local communities and improve local businesses with a local media to provide advertising exposure for local products and services.
moreResolved Question: How come Fox "fair & balanced" News not reported on the White Nationalist openly running on the GOP ticket?
A New Hampshire man who has sparked controversy for spewing racist, white supremacist views has decided to use his divisive platform to campaign for a New Hampshire State House seat.
Ryan J. Murdough, a 30 year-old who works with special needs children at a local youth center, is the "state chairman" of an organization called American Third Position, or A3P, a group that defines its mission as "represent[ing] the political interests of White Americans, because no one else will." (The site currently advertises a "moneybomb" for Murdough, with a fundraising goal of $2,500.)
In a caustic letter titled "We must preserve our racial identity" published by the Concord Monitor at the beginning of the month, Murdough offers his beliefs on white supremacy and racial segregation:
For far too long white Americans have been told that diversity is something beneficial to their existence. Statistics prove that the opposite is true. New Hampshire residents must seek to preserve their racial identity if we want future generations to have to possibility to live in such a great state. Affirmative action, illegal and legal non-white immigration, anti-white public school systems, and an anti-white media have done much damage to the United States of America and especially New Hampshire. It is time for white people in New Hampshire and across the country to take a stand. We are only 8 percent of the world's population and we need our own homeland, just like any other non-white group of people deserve their own homeland.
It gets worse:
"In celebration of Black History month, I am going to recognize what they do best,commit crime,get AIDS/STD's,blame whitey,cry racism." (sic), Murdough once wrote on his Twitter page, which has since been deleted (don't worry though, because according to Murdough: "I am a moderator at www.whitenews.com where I can write more lengthy posts if I choose).
Murdough filed as a Republican candidate earlier this month, but the Ashland, New Hampshire man's extreme views have since led to a few state GOP members to publicly condemn him, but Murdough doesn't seem to care.
"I don't really need any Republican help. I wasn't looking for it in the first place," Murdough said. "As a whole, I think they've sold white people out."
moreResolved Question: Are there any local magazines in Angola where one could advertise ones business/products?
I would like to close a business gap between my country and Angola and would thus like to advertise in local Angolan media (Agricultural newspapers, magazines etc.) but do not know the names of these medias or who to contact in this regard. Help would be much appreciated.
moreResolved Question: How do you think advertising (and other media) "quotas" should be handled when it comes to race?
I recently saw photos taken in a shoot with a local clothing store. The resulting images will be used primarily in local store advertisements, most likely within a twenty mile radius.
The store markets toward females, and twelve local young women were used as models. I noticed something interesting, though...three are white, three are black, three are Hispanic/Latino, and three are Asian.
While this does give equal precedence to each major race sector, it doesn't represent the local race distribution at all. We don't come anywhere close to having equal numbers of those four groups.
I've seen three primary methods of handling this sort of thing:
1. Based on equal numbers.
2. Based on proportional distribution of the overall area the advertisement/etc. will serve.
3. No set quota at all.
What do you think of each type? Do you think that "quotas" should be determined? If so, how?Arrogant bastard -- but bad ethics can raise eyebrows and harm the business side of things.
I do agree that number two is the most appropriate method, however.
moreResolved Question: Should schools teach about the perils of trusting professionals?
For example, I learned through experience that:
- Your financial adviser may receive greater compensation if you choose one investment over another. High risk means high profits for them.
- Loan companies are by law required to optimize profits. These companies target less educated populations who are easy to sell. We used to call this usury, but that word seems to be missing from our vocabulary.
- A doctor may either do surgery himself or herself rather than refer to a more competent specialist. (Surgeon's Dilemma)
- Your congressional representative may face huge opposition and dwindling donations in the next race if he or she opposes a bail out of the banks. (conflict of interest)
- Your car salesman may suggest that one car is better than another based upon his bonus plan.
- Your local media executive may decide to block reporting of cancer effects of aspartame (artificial sweetener) and dairy based upon likely law suits and withdrawal of advertising dollars from his stations. Monsanto is notorious for attacking any media that challenges their efforts.
Can you start teaching these concepts?

moreVoting Question: Seen UK top 5 broadband rip-offs? & how best to deal with 'em? What do you think is the best deal? How 2 beat?
I put this in Politics as Govt promise to roll out superfast broadband
Is there a corrupt angle?
UK's top broadband rip-offs, together with a few ideas on how you can combat them.
1) Super-fast broadband
You might think super-fast broadband sounds amazing. Lightning-fast deals via next-generation fibre technology allow you to surf the net at more than 5 times the usual speed (50Mb). Unfortunately, however, super-fast broadband generally comes with a much higher price tag than packages with standard connection speeds. And I think, at £40 a month, providers are ripping us off - especially when you take into account a 8Mb package with a 10GB usage limit can cost less than £6 a month.
The fact is, unless you need faster speeds for things like watching internet TV or downloading HD movies regularly, these packages probably have far greater capability than you really need. If you're not a heavy user, paying the higher monthly cost is a waste of money, frankly.
2) Restrictions on download limits
Many broadband providers boast of unlimited download limits, only to accompany these bold statements with a little asterisk which, on closer inspection directs you to a fair use policy that restricts the amount you can actually download.
Fair use policies are often a get out of jail free card for providers which advertise unlimited download limits, only to impose penalties or other restrictions if you exceed a certain threshold.
And, to make things even more complicated, finding out about your own download habits can sometimes feel like trying to break into Fort Knox.
For example, when I called my own provider to ask them about my usage, I was only told that I ‘need not worry'. This ambiguous phrasing may make little difference in my case, but in some circumstances you'll only realise you've exceeded your fair usage limit when you get a warning from your provider – or worse, when a hefty bill lands on your doormat.
If you want to gauge your surfing habits, this data usage calculator from Virgin is a nifty tool which will give you an idea of your own monthly usage, which you can then use to get the best plan for you. Alternatively, providers Be and O2 offer super-fast broadband with truly unlimited download limits.
3) Broadband without a landline.
If you move into a property without a BT landline in place, it will cost you £124.99 to connect yourself to the outside world, plus £10.50 a month in line rental, unless you commit to an 18-month contract.
If you don't fancy forking out all this just to get connected, one alternative is Virgin media which, providing you live in a cabled area, will connect you without the need for a BT line (£30 connection fee applies).
In addition, some providers such as Tiscali make use of local loop unbundling (LLU) to bypass BT and offer inclusive line rental. LLU enables ‘local loops' (or put simply, the cable through which you receive your broadband) to be freed up so other providers can design their own broadband packages to provide alternative, and often cheaper services.
The third way you can get connected to the internet without the need for a BT landline is via a dongle . Dongles provide a convenient way of getting online, though from experience provide much slower download speeds than conventional broadband. Check out my latest article on dongles .
4) Tag on the line
This is one of the sneakiest ways broadband providers can stop you from switching easily. They put what's known as a 'tag' on your line, which is difficult to remove. When you run into trouble, they often point the finger at your landline provider, who then points the finger back at the broadband provider, and so on.
What many people don't realise is that you have to talk to the provider you want to switch to and ask them to remove it. Luckily, Broadband Choices offers a handy list of numbers on its website to contact with regards to having a tag on your line.
5) Long contract terms
Last but not least, contract lengths for broadband, and indeed your mobile phone are slowly creeping up, and these days you'll often have to sign an 18 and sometimes a 24 month contract in order to secure the best deals.
However, there is light at the end of the broadband tunnel, and if you don't want to be tied into a lengthy contract, you could always opt for a provider which doesn't impose one.
For example, you can now get one-month only contracts from providers like Plusnet and Zen, which enable you to switch at any time.
Obviously, your broadband service is unlikely to be 100% perfect, 100% of the time, but hopefully these small tips will help you on your way to a smoother surfing experience.
Happy surfing!DJ

moreResolved Question: Why our secular government is not flushing out 2 crore illegal Bangladeshi immigrants from India?
Even by most conservative estimates there are at least 2 crore illegal bangladeshi immigrants living in India which makes them equal to the total population of Australia.
Many immigrants have illegally acquired citizenship of India and now constitute a solid vote bank for communists and other secular parties. Immigrant muslims become kingmakers during elections. Moreover, bangladesh declines to accept them as their countrymen.
Most districts neighbouring bangladesh are now muslim majority and more Madarsas and mosques are sprouting along the borders. When government agencies arrest handful of immigrants flag bearers of secularism (or islamic fascism) like maulana badruddin ajmal roars that it is a well planned ethnic cleansing of Muslims.
This problem should be the first priority of UPA government. There should be a seperate cell in every district of the country for identification of illegal immigrants. These immigrants can be easily identified with the help of locals like you and me but locals don't know whom to approach. Govt. should spread awareness about this issue through media like it advertises narega, right to education and other similar "acheivements".
Is govt. waiting for north-east to become another kashmir where native hindus are driven out by muslims of another country?

I want to go to school for this, but from what ive seen there so much competition, and with the economy sucking right now, I dont know if i could get a good job with this. I dont mind working, regardless. And im not the type of person who is in for anything just for the money, but i want to be able to pay the bills you know..
So just asking for advice,are there jobs in the field of graphic design/arts, web design? With a bachelors degree? I live in a small area now, but plan to move to a bigger city in the next five years (when i get a degree)
I would also say that my work is above average. Not trying to be arrogant, but yeah do you think I have a good shot at getting a stable job, and this is the right direction for me? Or should i go for something I am POSITIVE ill get a job in because its so needed and mainstream
moreVoting Question: Is this a fair price for a 30 day ad?
I have an ad medium that will be used to reach local customers for small businesses in my hometown (pop about 45,000 with about 3500 small businesses). It will be advertised and promoted all around the city. It is created so that all ads are identical in size (no different pricing for color, sizing, etc). Does it sound reasonable to charge $11.95 to $8.95 for a 30 day ad? Is $11.95 too much? If so, any suggestions? Thanks!

It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.
The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America's business. This past year has seen a "perfect storm" in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection. From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry's long-time trade publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult and rapidly changing times.

moreResolved Question: Question about hotjobs.com. Which option below would you choose and why?
Now, join the decision team at hotjobs.com. Which option would you choose and why?
*Option1: Focus on a few major cities or on employment in one industry.
- Because the biggest job markets (and potential revenue) are in handful of U.S cities, Dimitri could spend precious advertising dollars selectively by remaining a specialist in technical jobs only or by focusing exclusively on the New York area. But, Hotjob's profits would be limited and vulnerable to local market conditions. Furthermore, online companies were attracting investors, so if Dimitri didn't position Hotjobs as a national player, he might miss his window of opportunity. Well-funded competitors would go national, then return to the local markets and crush Hotjobs.
*Option 2: Act local, look national.
- By focusing advertising on the country's top seven markets, Dimitri could concentrate his sales force in Hotjobs' regional territories (espacially New York where the national media is strong), hitting each with short blasts of a multimedia and telemarketing campaign. This option would include limited spending on national television advertising, giving Dimitri more bang for his advertising buck while establishing Hotjobs as a premium players. It would also allow messages to be customized to each city. However, a poorly planned and executed advertising message could make Hotjobs seem like a Low-budget, regional player-making larger companies and job seekers reluctant to sign up for a company they perceived as too small.
*Option 3: Advertise aggressively to position Hotjobs as a national brand
- By coming out fighting on a national level in this new industry, Hotjobs would get a head start by establishing itself as a leader in the business for years to come. But, Hotjobs' main competitor Monster.com was better funded and already had an established public image. With much less money to invest, Dimitri could end up with no brand image while exhausting his limited advertising dollars.
Thank you for your time :)

Okay, one thing happened a little while ago in class. I am taking a mass media class, by the way, and the class was talking about advertising. I made reference to a commercial I saw years ago that was on BET. It was for a local rapper in my area (I am from Sacramento, CA by the way), and some guy sitting behind me, who happened to have been black was all "Why does it have to be on BET?" and I got a little defensive in the process. In some ways, my defensiveness was justified and later apologized to him saying that it WAS that channel I saw that ad on and that it was years ago that I saw it, so it wasn't really recent. All I want to know is why did he have to make it seem like I was being racial? Nothing racist about it because it was the exact channel that I saw it on. But why do people do this? If something bad were to happen to me or anything of that nature, I wouldn't say it was because The Man is holding hispanics back by any means. I look at any ethnic group the same way as anybody else: Tend to look past the background and into personality.If you ever even saw what I looked like, you'd probably think I was white, which is looked at more than latinos, but either way, I can never understand why some people do that. It would be the same way if I got that reaction from a gay person if I saw a particular ad on the LOGO channel.
moreResolved Question: I need a sexual relationship with a woman my age, but feel physically attracted 2 girls younger than me. Help?
Okay, I'm almost 37 and I haven't had any serious romance or sex (heaven forbid sex at that age) throughout my years in jr. & sr. high school. I wasn't seriously kissed until I was 19 (puppy love smooching with the same girl in gr. 1 & 3 doesn't count). I've got to first base with several other girls since then (some of them short-time girlfriends), but didn't go any further simply because I'm afraid of STDs. I'm shy and I like to view sex as sacred, but many times, I couldn't stand being a virgin anymore and I tried losing my virginity to an easy girl and very few prostitutes throughout my 20's in order to be cool, accepted, and "grown-up" so I could say that, "I got laid", but to no avail because I couldn't "get it up." I FINALLY lost my virginity at age 32 to a legal escort, but the sex was very short, cheap, and not special like I want it to be with that special someone in the future.
Like I said, I haven't had any romance, sex, or girlfriends throughout high school and this breaks my heart because I feel like such a loser and I KNOW I deserved better. I STILL deserve better now! I was just hardly at all outgoing and social because of the anxiety disorders I have and still have (OCD being one of them). Society and the media weren't as obsessed about sex back then like they are now - IT'S PRACTICALLY EVERYWHERE!!! T.V., movies, music, books, I could go on!!! It's at your local WAL-MART and on magazine racks at checkout stands!!! I don't wanna be exposed to that when I'm already feeling bad like this!!! It also brings to light that much more how much I missed out on when I was a teenager because I see all of these hot, cute looking teenage girls with their fair skin and playfulness kiss their boyfriends, some have babies at that age - and I'm being exposed to this in society! This hurts me and it makes me so jealous that I want to lash out in anger. Sometimes I wish I could go into a time machine and go back to when I was a teenager again. Don't get me wrong - I keep this to myself and know better not to pursue anyone under 18 now. I need a more mature woman anyway to share my life with - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I tell my counselor, relatives, and my best friend about my problems, too. I know it's not socially acceptable for me to FEEL attracted to teenage girls that way, but you can't really blame me when there are racy and sexual teen soap operas being advertised and shown, talking about their kids and showing them off in strollers and carriages like novelty items like it's a cool trend, "Oh, look at me - I'm hip - I'm a mom now", bragging about sex they had, teen girls dolling themselves up like attractive princesses - and even worse - dolling themselves up like whores!!! The general media isn't helping any either!!! Parents, please do your jobs raising your kids up properly. What is this world coming to?!
It's not just the teenage couples - it's couples of all other ages (ages 20-59) that make me feel insecure because they are out and about making out, talking and joking about sex like sex is such a big deal, again, I could go on. I just wish that the media, society, and the things/advertisements around me would show a little modesty and not be THAT OPEN about sex and kissing - it makes me feel bad and only pressures me to jump into a relationship and sex way too quickly again - not because I really want a relationship at that time (other than wanting a monogamous shallow and physical "come and go as you please" type of relationship), but to have a relationship in order to feel "in" and "with the hip crowd."
Look, I'm venting a little because I feel insecure in society. I could choose to date and find my romantic woman around my age way later because actually, I enjoy many aspects of being single. There's no one to answer to, more freedom, etc. to do what I want when I want. I'm very comfortable in that and I realize that I will have to make serious sacrifices if I want a true, loving, and sexual relationship with a woman. Some people probably have an issue with me about me not wearing shoes at the college and some other public places. I just like to be in socks or barefoot because I have a foot fetish and it's comfortable. It's a personal preference and I hope it doesn't have to be one of the sacrifices that I have to make for my woman in the future. It would be nice if more women could understand my foot fetish and not call me a freak about it. I love my own feet, and I love women's feet as well. One of the things that I'd like to do on a romantic date is to walk barefoot or sock-foot somewhere, whether it's in public or not.

In today’s society, gender stereotypes are becoming more prevalent and the ability to maintain a unique identity is being overcome by materialistic possessions. The public is being overwhelmed by ads showing us what our bodies should look like and thus creating an unattainable goal, especially with females. Psychological and physical bodily harm is on the rise pertaining to both males and females, as people compare themselves to the appearances of celebrities.
As the media twists our perception of how we should look by their presentation of celebrities, the desire to have their bodies becomes greater. Their bodies are portrayed as ‘perfect’, and subsequently, that is who we compare our physical appearance to. A good example of a controversial media-related event is the former Ralph Lauren model, Filippa Hamilton. She is a 23-year-old female weighing 120lbs at 5’10” who was fired for being overweight after working at Ralph Lauren since she was 15. According to Ralph Lauren, she was let off “as a result of an inability to meet the obligations under her contract”. Many people argue that she is underweight and Ralph Lauren admits that (in an enhanced image of the model) the company was responsible for the poor retouching which led to a distorted photograph of a woman’s body. They promise to change their artwork to represent their brand in an appropriate manner. This event shows us the stereotype that women should be very skinny, making them attractive.
From the perspective of the media, beauty implies characteristics such as tall, young and athletic. This is becoming a growing problem because the media is creating an unreachable goal for people, especially young adults. As the population struggles to attain the ‘norm’, cosmetic companies and surgeons reap the benefits and make billions, claiming to have a ‘cure’ and the ability to make people attractive. But what does it mean to be attractive? Is it to be based on the looks of celebrities? That is the message that the media is delivering.
From a general perspective, it is expected that men are to be good at manual labor, and should be able to fix a car easily. Women are expected to be able to cook and clean but are not required to be able to fix a car, or perform manual labor. These traits are portrayed throughout ads and television shows. They are wrong and very withholding, concerning the abilities of both males and females.
Much harm is being done both psychologically and physically to many people who idolize certain celebrities. They feel as though they need to look as skinny or as muscular as their idol, while their self-confidence is being torn down in the process. They feel discontent and frustration at the realization of not being able to look a certain way or be able to have certain clothes. Stress is another result and in most cases can be detrimental to one’s health. The media can make the general public feel uncomfortable with their bodily image and substitute an alternate image for us to try to achieve.
The media cannot be seen advertising diversity because that would go against their mindset of attaining a certain look. The issue of gender stereotyping is still a problem today with females being the primary targets. Eating disorders for males are on the rise and there are more and more ads affecting people everyday. It is not a simple matter of ignoring it, because there is ads everywhere-on television, on billboards, in magazines, and even on the Internet. Fairness and equality are absolutely necessary. We can achieve this by being aware of what the stereotypes are.
moreResolved Question: Do most people know the boy and the balloon were a ratings boost story?
I work in the media and I noticed some callers to radio stations and questions on Yahoo about how the media ran the boy and the run-a-way balloon story mainly for the ratings. Well, guess what??? Well, I work in the media and people do not like to hear this, but if that little boy had not been in a balloon and there had not been the visual effect of a UFO like object, nope, we would not have covered the story. Black hearted? Yep! Welcome to the real world and this is how the media works today. If it bleeds, it reads. I actually had a story about an abused child in my local community and they made me drop that to cover the small boy and the fly-a-way balloon yesterday. This child got more help in those few hours than this truly abused child will ever get. But the abused child in my town does not have a potentially high-ratings attention-grabbing angle like a run-a-way balloon has. For some reason, I learned that people just do not like to hear that your local paper, your local news station, your favorite talk show are all about ratings and all about advertising dollars. Money is always the bottom line. As for me, I will continue to try to help this abused child. I'm happy for any child that is helped, whether in a run-a-way balloon or in an abusive environment. All children need help and deserve a chance. As much attention and energy as was generated for Falcon and his safety....Please put that much energy into helping a child in your local community. Just because a child is not flying in a UFO balloon, does not mean that he/she does not deserve attention.
Anyway, if I bursted anyone's fantasy that the media is not all about ratings and money...sorry. But welcome to the real world. Money rules. Do I like that? No, but it pays my rent and is building my retirement. Sometimes, I feel hypocritical to cover one story and ignore another, but I try to do some good and get the truth out, and not be caught up in the ratings-driven world of today's media.
moreResolved Question: What are your thoughts on this Business to Business Marketing case scenario?
I am piecing together information about this case to come up with possible solutions, what are your thoughts on the situation and what would you do? It's always nice to get another viewpoint. Thanks!
You are the sales manager for a nationally known firm, Maverick Industries, which designs, produces and provides industrial hardware and support services to manufacturers. You have just been given the challenge, by your supervisor, to pursue and secure the business of a new customer, a major, multi-location manufacturer of defense products in your territory.
The firm you are pursuing, Bluejay Enterprises, has been in business for over 50 years. It was founded in a suburb of the major metropolitan area where you reside and has been a “pillar” of the community for decades. The Company originated with modest beginnings but has now grown into a large and powerful leader in its industry. It has expanded its operations through the development of “Greenfield” (new construction) site locations and acquisitions of other manufacturers over the years. In addition, it has gained a reputation for high quality, reliable products but has never been known as the “low-priced” provider among its competition. It also has extremely rigorous criteria that it uses when selecting a source of supply.
Bluejay has recently undertaken a new project for one of its long-standing customers. Their customer has very high expectations of the product/service quality and prompt delivery requirements in support of its JIT inventory management philosophy. The project involves the development of a new product with innovative features that could revolutionize the industry. Bluejay currently has several reliable suppliers who have provided hardware products in the past. However, the design and application of this product are so unique and revolutionary that there is some question whether Bluejay’s current suppliers are capable of providing what is needed. Also, due to the nature of the project there is a great deal of interest from the local and national news media about the product, those involved with its creation and the influence on national defense.
Your company (Maverick) has an outstanding design and production functions and is known for its innovative and state-of-the-art capabilities. Your firm also has a reputation for producing high quality products, but recently had a major layoff of workers and has experienced delays in product shipments to customers due to lower than normal inventories which has resulted in negative publicity and advertising by your competitors. However, even with the existence of this situation it appears to be an excellent opportunity for you and your firm to secure Bluejay’s business.
The challenge you face, as a new potential supplier, is how to pursue the customer and secure the initial order from Bluejay. You are also to build into your strategy how you intend to become a recurring source of supply for this new product and other industrial hardware needs that Bluejay may require in the future. In addition, you are to identify any other customers who may have an interest in the products you provide and build a case (to be presented by your senior management) why Maverick should consider expanding its business in this area.

moreVoting Question: Question about my homework problem?
The Sea Wharf Restaurant would like to determine the best way to allocate a monthly advertising budget of $1000 between newspaper advertising and radio advertising. Management has decided that at least 25% of the budget must be spent on each type of media, and that the amount of money spent on local newspaper advertising must be at least twice the amount spent on radio advertising. A marketing consultant has developed an index that measures audience exposure per dollar of advertising on a scale from 0 to 100, with higher values implying greater audience exposure. If the value of the index for local newspaper advertising is 50 and the value of the index for spot radio advertising is 80, how should the restaurant allocate its advertising budget in order to maximize the value of total audience exposure?
a.) Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine how the restaurant should allocate its advertising budget in order to maximize the value of total audience exposure.
b.) Find the optimal solution using the graphical solution procedure.
(The problem I have is this part "the amount of money spent on local newspaper advertising must be at least twice the amount spent on radio advertising", I'm a bit confused of how it should be whether it should be that newspaper should be twice the amount of radio (2x => y) or radio should be twice the amount of newspaper (2y => x))
moreResolved Question: Why is New Zealand's rugby atmosphere so weak?
After watching rugby fans from the NH and South Africa, I began to realise that the crowd atmosphere in New Zealand is really weak and in a way unsupportive.
All around the rugby world, home crowds turn up to their team's games all dressed up and wearing their colours proudly. They sing chants and stay loyal to their team, even after a defeat.
Take the Blue Bulls (from South Africa) for example: (http://www.sportsdigitalcontent.com/uploadedimages/Blue_Bulls_Fan.jpg

British fans:

(http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/09sKfWLgv67uc/610x.jpg
In Europe and South Africa, fully-grown men and women enter the stands fully painted in their team's colours, waving flags and singing chants that compliment their team. And they remain loyal to their team. They sell-out the local stadium even when they're lingering at the bottom of the table after four straight defeats. And if they lose, then their team just "had a bad game" or "came up against some good opposition". And the supporters would still turn up next week.
In New Zealand, however, the fans don't dress up. They don't sing chants or wave flags in their teams colours. If a Super 14 team has lost their last few games, NZ supporters won't even bother to watch the game at home let alone get off the couch and go to the stadium. And they certainly aren't as loyal as the fans up north. If they lose, it's because "they're crap" or "they suck" or "they're useless".
Why is this? In my opinion it's because the NZRU and the New Zealand media focus too much advertising on children. Cheering for the team is seen as being childish. For kids. I think that this is why there is a lack of support for our NZ rugby sides. Weet-Bix ads and cartoon-ish mascots have ruined the atmosphere that New Zealand desreves.
If New Zealand wants bigger crowds and a stronger atmosphere, then maybe the advertising needs to be focussed less on children, and more on the mature population. They need to show the public that it's OK to dress-up and cheer on your team.
Whether you agree or disagree, im interested in your opinion.PS: I'm a New Zealander myself, so please don't take offence. I'm simply stating my opinion.

Management has decided that at least 25% of the budget must be spent on each type of media, and that the amount of money spent on local newspaper advertising must be at least twice the amount spent on radio advertising. A marketing consultant has developed an index that measures audience exposure per dollar of advertising on a scale from 0 to 100, with higher values implying greater audience exposure. If the value of the index for local newspaper advertising is 50 and the value of the index for spot radio advertising is 80, how should the restaurant allocate its advertising budget in order to maximize the value of total audience exposure?
a.) Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine how the restaurant should allocate its advertising budget in order to maximize the value of total audience exposure.
b.) Find the optimal solution using the graphical solution procedure.

moreResolved Question: ABC, NBC Won't Air Ad Critical of Obama's Health Care Plan?
Q: What is your opinion of this?
The refusal by ABC and NBC to run a national ad critical of President Obama's health care reform plan is raising questions from the group behind the spot -- particularly in light of ABC's health care special aired in prime time last June hosted at the White House
The refusal by ABC and NBC to run a national ad critical of President Obama's health care reform plan is raising questions from the group behind the spot -- particularly in light of ABC's health care special aired in prime time last June and hosted at the White House.
The 33-second ad by the League of American Voters, which features a neurosurgeon who warns that a government-run health care system will lead to the rationing of procedures and medicine, began airing two weeks ago on local affiliates of ABC, NBC, FOX and CBS. On a national level, however, ABC and NBC have refused to run the spot in its present form.
"It's a powerful ad," said Bob Adams, executive director of the League of American Voters, a national nonprofit group with 15,000 members who advocate individual liberty and government accountability. "It tells the truth and it really highlights one of the biggest vulnerabilities and problems with this proposed legislation, which is it rations health care and disproportionately will decimate the quality of health care for seniors."
Adams said the advertisement is running on local network affiliates in states like Louisiana, Arkansas, Maine and Pennsylvania. But although CBS has approved the ad for national distribution and talks are ongoing with FOX, NBC has questioned some of the ad's facts while ABC has labeled it "partisan."
"The ABC Television Network has a long-standing policy that we do not sell time for advertising that presents a partisan position on a controversial public issue," spokeswoman Susan Sewell said in a written statement. "Just to be clear, this is a policy for the entire network, not just ABC News."
NBC, meanwhile, said it has not turned down the ad and will reconsider it with some revisions.
"We have not rejected the ad," spokeswoman Liz Fischer told FOXNews.com. "We have communicated with the media agency about some factual claims that require additional substantiation. As always, we are happy to reconsider the ad once these issues are addressed."
Adams objects to ABC's assertion that his group's position is partisan.
"It's a position that we would argue a vast majority of Americans stand behind," he said. "Obviously, it's a message that ABC and the Obama administration haven't received yet."
Dick Morris, a FOX News political analyst and the League of American Voters' chief strategist, conceptualized the advertisement and said its purpose was to "refocus" the debate on health care reform.
"I feel the whole debate on health care reform needed to be refocused on the issue of Medicare," he told FOXNews.com. "Most of the debate had been on issues of socialized medicine and cost. I felt that the impact of the legislation in cutting the Medicare program and enforcing rationing needed to be addressed."
Morris, a onetime advisor to former President Bill Clinton, said he was particularly troubled by ABC's decision not to air the spot.
"It's the ultimate act of chutzpah because ABC is the network that turned itself over completely to Obama for a daylong propaganda fest about health care reform," he said. "For them to be pious and say they will not accept advertising on health care shuts their viewers out from any possible understanding of both sides of this issue."By Joshua Rhett MillerI have seen ads supporting Obama on FOX NEWS.

BEHIND THE MUSIC: THE HAMBURGLAR
The hamburglar is a mythical beast, who travels time and space in a series of inter-connected tubes that originate in a place known by mortal man as the mcdonald-land. Most people over the age of 3 believe that these tubes only go 100 feet, but they are mistaken. The tubes connect for thousands of miles, to different parts of the universe and different planes of existence. Some have said to travel to different dimensions and learned different trains of thought from traveling them. Those who have mastered the tubes have mastered all knowledge.
The mysticism surrounding the hamburglar is very interesting. Some say he’s existed from the beginning of time. Others say he doesn’t exist. I have concluded through numerous interviews of first hand experience that he is immortal, and still lurking somewhere within the tubes, primarily the purple tubes. He was kicked out of the mcdonald land gang by Ronald’s for hanging out in the “red light district” near mcdonald land, and hasn’t returned to his native ground since. This event, called by historians “the booting of the meat lover”, probably took place thousands of years ago, if at all.
According to legend, the hamburglar had a very strange sexuality…it couldn’t be described in proper terms of heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. More like… “have sex with everything.” It turned him on to stick his meat in between 2 hamburger buns and let the ketchup do the work. You ever wonder how the doughnut or bagel got invented? The hamburglar stuck his schlong into a single half of a bun. In fact, the original cream cheese was made of something between normal cheese that was already on the bun and the hamburglars jizz. He also has/had a strange fetish of chopped off penises. An interesting fact regarding this topic: Mcdonalds provided hot dogs at the 1957 World Series. Mcdonalds never served hot dogs before or after this. Most of them were small, shriveled up, and disgusting. They were advertised as “mini-dogs”. A spokesperson said to the camera’s “thanks to the hamburglar for providing these…” which is the strangest fact yet, because mcdonalds cited the hamburglar as being faked and dismissed him as a myth on several occasions within previous years.
The fact that the one spoken of wasn’t part of the McDonald land gang was destroyed when mcdonalds started using him again in a 1970’s advertisement campaign. Of course, mcdonalds denied that any of the characters used in advertisement were real and that the spokesperson who had said that he provided the hotdogs was probably just high when he mentioned that line.
There were a few mortal men who had traveled the galactical line of tubes and talked to Ronald mcdonald and the gang himself. According to them, the mystical one was kicked out of the gang long ago, and the higher-ups of mcdonalds forced them to let him rejoin for marketing purposes. And according to them, when all of the other people of the mcdonald land gang would be having fun playing in the park, the hamburglar would be tripping on acid and taking N2O whippets. The people who claimed this were soon murdered by CIA agents. A conspiracy lie deep within the mcdonalds corporation and US government, and within the next few days I will attempt to unmask it.
BEHIND THE MUSIC-THE HAMBURGLAR: part II
The following police report you are about to read wasn’t covered by the mainstream media. In fact, the only place that ran the story was an independent local station near where it happened. A day later, a madman with the nickname “Texas Dan” escaped from prison and went through the place with a machine gun killing everyone. Some say guards let him out.
Big Bend, WI: The Time, between 1:30 AM and 3:00, the date: September 3rd 1993, the place, A local mcdonalds, the crime: Child molestation, rape, mutilation, and intent to kill a minor.
A local woman, who was prostituting to truckers, had left her son, Adam, age 3, at the local 24/7 mcdonalds play-place. The Play-place is where the hamburglar usually spends his time, and he was currently recording himself shoving French fries up his ass, trying to break the world record. The staff didn’t notice the woman and her son walking in, because they were to busy having an orgy in the back freezer. She dropped him off, kissed him goodbye, said “mommies going to work”. The hamburglar heard them approaching and scrambled deeper within the tubes to hide. After the mother left, Adam went into the ball pit. The hamburglar edged closer to him, and left his shitty, raw, fries lying on the ground.
What happened next is one of the most disgusting and perverted tales told in American history. It has never been dealt with correctly because anyone that mentions a word about it has been shot.
“First he asked me to come up to his place,” says the traumatized boy to the police. “The purple tubes”. The hamburglar allegedly told Adam they were going to play aApparently they deleted most of it....whatever :(

moreResolved Question: Hi can you help me with this translation? very important?
Hi I have to translate a document about Piaggio Vespa in english, this is what I did, can you see many errors? thank you so much!
the foreign market, for Piaggio company has always had great value and found in England many consents, in fact, the Italian design and the practicality of the product conquest the British public.
In England the licensed production of the Vespa began in 1951 with the motorcycle company Douglas, near Bristol.
The English Vespa has been a strong success, even if it is not a cheap product as in Italy, because the economic conditions of England are a bit more favorable.
The selling strategy on the British market is high class, a prestige product, which involves not only the youth but also the middle class and the wealthy class.
For the youth target it becomes a fashion product and as in Italy it creates a positive common image.
Vespa is also used in law enforcement: It is used with satisfaction by the local police in the cities of Cambridge and Liverpool.
Soon Vespa Clubs opens, in fact in 1953 60 clubs can be counted with 3,000 members, which partecipates with enthusiasm to gatherings.
Important figures for the British public opinion are pictured riding a Vespa, from the Duke of Edinburgh to the Formula 1 champion Stirling Moss.
The production in Great Britain stops in 1957 as Douglas prefers to operate as an importer of the Italian product. From that moment the orders are sent directly to the establishments Pontedera.
The communication focuses on a medium-high target as it can be seen from this advertise that has as subjects a man and a woman riding a red Vespa.
The scene is taken from behind, the foot of the driver touching the ground and the hand of the woman in a sign of greet makes the observer perceive that they are departing.
The clothes of the couple is typical of the epoch as you can see from the hat of the man, the gloves and the coat of the woman.
On the plate the model number is showed. The most famous models in Great Britain are the 125 and 150.
Their faces express happiness and joy, clearly happy to have a Vespa.
The background of the advertise is white, to make the observer notice more the subjects that are enhanced by strong cours.
The orientation is horizontal and it is organized into two sections: on the left the couple on the scooter and on the right is positioned the text.
A yellow arrow indicates the claim "choose Vespa and get the best".
The product label is red as the product itself in the advertising.

moreResolved Question: What do you think of these interviewing tips?
1.) Use a different color paper for mailing your resumes. Chances are, you're using a cream, white, or gray paper color. Yes? So is everyone else. Be creative, and use a non-resume paper. Be original, and stand out. With that said, should you use hot pink? No, remember you're applying for a professional career - but do choose something less common than white, cream, or gray.
2.) Use a different size paper for your resume. Why you ask? Have you ever shuffled a stack of papers. Do you ever have one/a few pieces of paper that your shuffling are a different size than the others. They stand out right? Of course they do, they stand out from the rest - it's simple, but it does make your resume stand out.
3.) Inside contact - If you're interested in a specific company, get an inside contact. This means proactively trying to meet someone from the company, or a friend of a friend situation. People hire people they know - its comfortable. Therefore, do whatever it takes to get an inside contact.
4.) Certified Letter - Have you ever sent a certified letter? All it requires is going to the post office, and paying a few dollars to send it certified with confirmation. This means that the recipient of the letter must sign for it. And I'll bet that they'll sign - they're curious, and want to know what it is. By sending it certified to the hiring manager, you're insuring that your letter has reached its destination - it has reached the hiring manager. This is a huge plus, as usually the hiring manager's mail is filtered through a number of gate keepers.
5.) Send your resume with a gift. Yes, a gift. Head over to the local florist, pizza place, etc - get creative. Pick out a nice bouquet or lunch, and deliver it to the office with your resume. If you do the pizza, here's a tip - put your resume in a zip lock bag and tape it to the inside of the box.
6.) Deliver the resume in person. What do you have to lose? Walk into the office, and ask for the hiring manager (by name). Just say you need to discuss the current job opening with him. Sound crazy? It works - they will see you as being determined, proactive, and outgoing.
7.) The post-it note trick. In larger companies (and sometimes in medium/smaller companies) a secretary or an office assistant will open the resumes for the employees. This person is responsible for screening for junk mail and to weed out non-qualified candidates. Therefore, here is the trick. Take a regular Post-it note, and write something like "This one looks good! - J", and attach it to your resume. Who is "J"? Who cares! The point is that the hiring manager will get a resume with a Post-it note on it, stating that it's good. Therefore, they are more likely to pay close attention to the resume at the direction of another employee. By the time the person realizes its not a note from their mail screener, you've already gotten your resume reviewed - is it deceptive? - no, its effective and innovative advertising.
moreResolved Question: If Limbaugh and Beck shows weren't given away for free would they still be famous?
Here's how a barter deal works: To launch the show, Limbaugh's syndicator, Premiere Radio Networks -- the same folks who syndicate Glen Beck -- gave Limbaugh's three hours away -- that's right, no cash -- to local radio stations, mostly in medium and smaller markets, back in the early 1990's.
So, a local talk station got Rush's show for zilch. In exchange, Premiere took for itself much of the local station's available advertising time (roughly 15 minutes an hour) and packed the show with national ads it had already pre-sold.
Think Gold Bond Medicated Powder.
It's a very sweet deal for local radio station owners, explained Bill Exline a respected radio broker (he helped people buy and sell local stations). "Not only does the local station get three hours of free programming," Exline explained, "but that's one less local talk-show host on staff they need. It makes small- and medium-market radio properties more profitable and attractive by cutting down staff expenses."
If stations had to pay, would they?

Media Impact Group (MIG) is a large advertising agency home based in Tokyo and Kumamoto and with several newer divisions in other cities across Japan. MIG specializes in consumer service clients including food chains, resorts, and theater operators. Headquarters in Tokyo is eager to develop a larger client base in the lodging industry.
Besides having made the company's initial reputation and continuing to provide financial and administrative management, headquarters also offers expertise, data bases, and other knowledge resources for the local offices. When a local office wins a bid, it receives 20% of the revenues. The Tokyo and Kumamoto offices jointly receive over 50% of the revenues with the remainder distributed to all other offices. Local offices absorb the cost of preparing specific bids; although they can draw on headquarter expertise. Local managers' pay includes a salary and a large bonus, 50 % of which is based on the office's current profitability, and the other 50 % based on overall company profitability.
The Quality Inn chain has just approached the Kumamoto office with a request for a bid on an advertising contract estimated to require over 6,000 hours per year for 3 years. Quality has made it clear that the billing rate for the winning bid will not exceed $120 per hour, although the industry standard for this type of contract is $140 per hour. The bidding is expected to be intense with at least six other agencies willing to prepare bids.
Nathan estimates the minimum cost of a credible bid will be $200,000. Moreover, given the current heavy workload, Nathan will have difficulty finding individuals with time to prepare the bid. As the Vice President in charge of the Kumamoto office, Nathan is reluctant to attempt the bid.
