Resolved Question: Why don't baby formula companies advertise on TV?

I was just thinking today that I've never ever seen a commercial for infant formula. Have I just missed the commercials, or are formula companies under some restrictions not to advertise?It seems odd because formula is such big business and I see ads all the time in magazines, online, etc. Just curious and wondering why! I'm in Canada and wondering if it's the same in the UK or the States.Interesting points, but baby shampoo/body wash companies have commercials and so do diaper companies- even advertising very baby- specific products like newborn diapers or swaddlers, cruisers, or wipes, etc. Formula feeding moms would spend much more total on formula. Why mis that market? It's odd!And the diaper/ shampoo commercials are very often in regular prime time programming- at least here.Perfectly flawed: neat! Thanks! Those brands don't exist here as far as I know. more

Resolved Question: Any tips / advice on opening up a Dance Studio? (flooring and advertising)?

I'm starting up a dance studio in the fall. I already have the location, the name, etc. I just have a few questions (and probably more to come in the future!) ~ Can you recommend an online company that sells dance floors? I will probably only have beginner & intermediate dancers (tap, jazz, & ballet) and will probably only stay at this location for a year or two before I out grow it so I don't need anything too extravagant. I know they are expensive I just wasn't expecting it to cost $5-$15 a sq.ft. ~ Next, what would you say is the best means for advertising? I know after the first year word of mouth works wonders but for the first year do you have any creative advertising ideas? Obviously the papers and we have a monthly parenting magazine that will do a free article on new businesses in the area so that will help a lot. Just wondering if there is anything else I can do. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!! more

Resolved Question: I want to display a hidden input field when a user selects a option from a drop down list?

Hi, I'm using Dreamweaver and I have a form in which I would like a input field (which is hidden upon page load) to dynamically appear when a user selects a option from a drop down list.

Resolved Question: I don't know what to do with my life...Help me out please?

I'm 15 years old and I don't know what kind of career I should pursue. And I'm starting to panic about it. I'm not really expecting anyone to read the ridiculously huge chunks of text coming up. I'm just trying to sort out the mess in my brain by putting it into words. (Last time I put this question in the career section and got a ton of advertising people, so...I'm not sure which section belongs in) I'm in 9th grade, taking all Honors classes. My GPA is a 3.8. I'm taking the SAT II Subject test for Biology this June. I plan to take other AP tests, like AP Chinese, later in high school. My annual standarized test scores (STAR test scores, dunno if it's different in other states) are usually good, I often get 600s. I'm a GATE1 student, meaning my IQ is supposedly over 140. But I hate school...My school is suffocatingly competitive. I'm tired of competing with the girl who plays the piano and violin, is on the Debate and Badminton team, volunteers at a local museum, speaks 4 languages, and still manages a 4.0 GPA (I'm not exaggerating!). I routinely fall asleep studying...None of the subject matter is even remotely interesting to me. To get the grades I have, I have to try so hard I'm stressed out all the time. People, teachers, classmates, parents volunteering, have been telling me since preschool that I should become an artist when I grow up. From a ridiculously young age I've been associating drawing with pleasure and praise. I don't just like drawing...I feel like I'd die if I couldn't. It's like a stress reliever for me. When I can't draw, I feel anxious and my hands start shaking. I can't really suppress the impulse to draw, even in the middle of taking tests! Some of the answer sheets I get back are comical -- There are beautifully detailed drawings in the margins -- The world map in front of me, the trashcan in the corner, the guy who sits in front of me, all of my teachers. And then you look further down the paper, and I didn't have time to finish the last few problems. I learn by trial and error. But I always improve a lot when I have the time to practice, like over breaks, just sketching whatever comes to mind, copying pictures from magazines, or speed-drawing with 30-second online pose generators. I look at my drawings a month or two apart, and it looks like they were done by two different people. If I spent less time on my studies, I think I could easily be as good as a professional artist. It's my dream to go to some sort of art school after graduating. I know it's a really, really bad idea to become an artist. I know probably 90% of them starve on the streets and die in misery. Even many great artists aren't appreciated until they're already dead. Then their works sell for millions, but of course it makes no difference to the already-dead artists. It's a cruel world. Following my bliss could be the end of me. But what discourages me even more than that is my dad. He's a Stanford graduate who makes missiles for the government. He tells me to study more or I'll be like my older sister (who's becoming a doctor) who "ONLY" got accepted my Berkeley, UCLA, and UC Davis. He made me study 4 hours a day on spring BREAK. Quote: "Good thing there's Stress-free week, then you can study for the SAT." He gave me a lecture when I was in elementary school about how I should read nonfiction books instead of fiction because I'll actually learn from them. He's threatened that if I don't choose a career path soon, he'll choose one for me himself. He will be REALLY angry if I say I want to be an artist. I'm afraid he'd hit me. I don't know what to do. It's smartest for me to just forget about art and become an accountant or doctor or something...Maybe just a little art in my spare time, but definitely not for a living. But my heart isn't attached to my brain. Irrationally, I still want to become an artist. I don't know why I'm crying, this is stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, STUPID If there's still anyone who's still there after reading my ridiculously long question, I would like some serious advice. Talk some sense into me. Please. I really don't know what to do. Thank you, and please have a nicer day than I did.Yeah, as I stated from the beginning, I didn't expect anyone to read all of that. And most of you didn't. Thank you, the few of you who did! And...I'm pretty amazed that someone thought my endless run-on question was INTERESTING o.o Hmm...So I should either a) become an artist and be poor but happy or b) don't think about it because I'm young... more

Resolved Question: Can someone grade my practice SAT essay I just wrote?

I believe that advertising companies make advertisements look appealing in such a way that it makes people want to buy things they may not have wanted before. Advertising companies spend a lot of time and money into making commericials and putting ads online and in newspapers to sell a product of a client's. In the end they are successful because billions of people everyday go out to the mall, grocery stores, and other shopping centers purchasing items they wouldn't have purchased otherwise. My mother is one of those people. My mother always watches TV a lot as well as looks at sale papers. My father just recently bought her this 200.00 dollar juicer which works perfectly fine but now that she's seen this new Jacklyn Juicer on television that claims it's the world's best juicer leaving no residue behind, My mother wants it. My mother does this all the time when she sees commercials showing her something she likes. My mother loves to cook and over the past year she's spent about a 1000.00 on cooking materials just because of advertisements on television. Advertisements on television make it seem as if you wouldn't be able to live without their product and there isn't a better product out there. Over the past 5 years studies show that advertisements ranging from magazine ads, tv commercials ti radio spots and ect. have made 57% more profit than in the years before. New technology has made it easier to make products look more apealing to customers and to lure them to buying their products. If it weren't for these advertisements their products wouldn't sell so quickly. Last week I went to Walmart to go buy the new Twilight movie thats on DVD but it was sold out. Walmart had put out an ad on television saying the movie was on sale for 9.99 and that you couldn't find the movie this cheap anywhere else and it was a limited time offer. I was at Walmart in the first hour that they had put the DVD out and they'd stocked upto 500 DVDs but they were all sold out due to the tremendous amount of people who had seen the advertisement on television which had been shown at least twice on every channel between tv shows and movies. I stood in a long line waiting for a good 30 minutes but ended up going home without the DVD because it was sold out. Advertisements have a big impact on people. If they weren't so vastly shown on television commercials to online ads and billboards we see when we're out driving we wouldn't end up buying half the things we do buy. It's the advertisement companies' jobs to convince customers to buy their products in order for them to make money and we fall into their trap and go out purchasing unnessesary items we wouldn't have purchased otherwise. I blame the advertising companies for the money that people waste on buying products they don't need but end up buying due to these commercials. more

Resolved Question: HELP WITH RE-WRITE very very very important for college?

Please describe experience in photography so far… 5. During my freshman year I took a basic photography class provided by my High School that was all about learning photography and really understanding the technique involved. It was in this class that I found that I had the "eye'" for photography and therefore decided to take photography again my sophomore year. As each year progressed I not only expanded my portfolio but I was able to quickly advance to the next level and eventually complete the program all together. My experiences in photography enabled me to become the president of photography club, photography Editor of the yearbook, and participate in AP Art as well as National Art Honor Society. Aside from all of the work I was doing in school I volunteer for an organization called Save the Forge River which works to expose our local community's river and the importance of its health. My pieces were then published online and has become the leading photographs to expose the river at its best conditions, and its worst. Last year at a benefit event I had the opportunity to work alongside Anna Wintour, which was an amazing opportunity to learn and explore my opportunities for success. Struggling to find the right major and school for my future I decided to attend some non-credit courses in the city to see what photography major has to offer. My first class was at LIM and was designed to teach the fundamentals of magazine development where I was able to incorporate my own advertisements and photographs into the design. After the course and much success advertising became an interest, which lead me to continue the program at FIT. This class that was given at FIT pushed me in the right direction as it enabled me to meet new people and work in a studio for the first time. It is now my senior year and in the past year alone I have worked in a studio setting numerous times and at each event I find how much I love photography and the lengths in which I will take to accomplish all of my aspirations. more

Resolved Question: Please Tell Me if There is A Flaw in My Plan?

I am attempting to start a magazine, which will deal with a number of socially relevant topics and be marketed to educated people ages 18-30. The magazine will also come with a CD of 8 diff. songs by aspiring musicians. Now, my idea is this: I will place ads on several places online and in a few newspapers, calling for writers and musicians of all kinds to submit their work. The ads will lead to a website, which will give them guidelines as to how to submit. They will have to submit their work (writing or music) along with $10 in the form of a check. Those whose work is selected will be published and will receive a small cash prize. The musician and writer who submit the very best work may receive a larger prize. I am hoping to receive 1000 submissions, netting me $10,000 to go forward with printing, publishing and releasing the magazine (small circulation of course). If I advertise correctly, do you think I can get 1000 people to submit? The idea seems so simple I wonder if I am overlooking something. Please let me know. Thanks in advance. more

Resolved Question: Why is no one seeing that technology is the biggest problem in our economy?

I hate to say it, but I must. I honestly think that technology is one of the biggest killers in our economy today. The media: Newspapers, Magazines, News, Television - All killed by their online couterpart, but making way less money on advertising. Entertainment: P2P file sharing, torrents, etc...Google "watch movies online", and your first result will let you watch every Golden Globe nominee online instantly. I doubt that's what the movie industry wants. Not to mention Netflix and Redbox, which have doomed just about every movie rental business on the face of the earth. Electronics and Tech industry: Electrical components are made better, the last longer, they are purchased less, their manufacturers sell less, and resort to ads on their sold products. Auto Industry: They last longer, they are more efficient and they are purchased less. This is all before electric cars become mainstream. Which will kill every Jiffy Lube on the block. The Employee: Lazy at work, lazy at home, less productive on the job. Less money made. These are just a few of my examples, but it's been on my mind lately and it really scares me how much the internet has doomed many businesses and will continue to do so. The scariest part, is that it's not going anywhere soon, so much jobs will be lost and less money will be spent. Technology is the demise of today's present and future economy. more

NOTE: I will submit the site to all the top search engines, and I will not be using one of those automatic services. 3) We're hoping to make a bit of cash on the side from advertsing. Obviously I'll be spending money on actually getting traffic to the site first, but does anyone have any tips or recommendations with regards to this? Finally, any other advice or links to websites that will help with getting a website up and running and gaining traffic, advertising the site, or gaining money from advertising will be appreciated. more

Resolved Question: pls correct my mistakes?

This is my research chapter three which is about the advantages of the online advertising... (The first advantage of Online Advertising is that there are Traceable. Some time ago, when the companies advertise on TV, magazine, etc. they were not able to know which one of them are really working and which one they can get profit from it. but, it`s not same with online advertising. Online advertising is different because we track them to know which one of them is working or not. For example, we can know how many people clicked on advertise to view the details, if the number is has expected so, it will stay online, elsewhere remove it because no use it. Second, there is another good thing about Online Advertising over ordinary ways beside traceability is that we target the specific type of people to advertise our products to them. Unlike the newspaper for example where we just post the advertisement. As the part of human nature ,everybody of us have different interest .for example, people whom are 20 years old have different view on things or interest from people whom are 50 years old. That way, via online advertising we have the opportunity to show or sand our advertisement to the people whom have interest in it. Third, advertising online is much cheaper and also much wider. Advertising on the Internet is very cheap if we compared to ordinary one and it`s getting cheaper by the day. Because of this, newly opened or small companies with a small budget can reach global markets on the web. The main advantage of online advertising is it worldwide. Because of internet has limitation, when we advertise online people from all over the world can view your advertisement and buy your products if you got online marketing system. Finally, for these reasons, the online advertising is a real chance for companies to attract more customers with spending less money.).............. more

Resolved Question: How many impressions do I need to get a good rate of return for an online ad campaign?

I'm thinking of advertising online with various newspaper publications. The purpose of the ads will be to drive traffic to my website where the customer can purchase various health, fitness, and beauty related products. In a separate ad, I'll advertise a business opportunity for which customers will also be driven to a website. Many of the newspapers have sections for these types of offerings whether in the general classifieds or display ads in their lifestyle magazines. I want to reach enough interested customers to get a good rate of return. Is asking for a 2% - 5% rate of return asking too much or too little? What would be a good target number of impressions to purchase to get this rate of return? Please give me good info and if you have supporting information from the internet, please provide it. The best answer will receive 10 points.  more

Resolved Question: Have PCs stepped up to Macs for usage in the creative markets?

I grew up on PCs... reorganizing autoexec.bat files to free up memory and play video games. Throughout my life, I've been a PC guy until I went to film school and realized while my classmates were turning out projects, I was troubleshooting. So I switched to a Mac for my work (photo / video) This was about 9 years ago. While Macs are not without problems, they definitely were handling better. The solidarity of the components just allowed for a more stable platform without driver conflicts. In the work world, everywhere I go... every major magazine, design studio, photographer (advertising / editorial), are all using Macs. Now people are trying to convince me that PCs are just as good as Macs for Photoshop use. The argument is that Macs are essentially PCs anyway because of the Intel chips, etc... I personally believe it's the operating system that makes most of the difference. Can anyone give a supporting argument for Microsoft? Personally, I'd love to build a new PC that can handle extremely demanding Photoshop work... (sometimes a single image can get up to a 1gb) But I'm worried about everything integrating properly because now if the work flow has issues, lots of money is lost. Color Profiling, Display Calibration, Printer calibration, and an efficient and STABLE work flow from capture to presentation (online or print) are all I really care about. Any thoughts? more

Resolved Question: A legitimate, no-scam way to supplement income online?

I just can't believe there are NO legitimate ways of earning money online. I have a degree in English, and recently "retired" from a position that I held for 14 years. I have been employed as a journalist for an international magazine, as director of public relations for an energy company, and as a copywriter for an advertising agency. I have a lot of writing/editing experience, but I am 58 years old, and my husband thinks it's time. He likes me at home. But, I'm restless, and yes, we could use the money. The loss of my income is defintely being felt. ( If you're going to suggest that I shouldn't have retired, that's why I put the word in quotes. My boss died, and the business was closed two months later, so it was not really a choice.) more

Resolved Question: Realtors: Would you change your advertising if presented with the following scenario?

Let's say you work in a wide-spread area, both city and country properties in the MLS. You advertise your listings/yourself in a "homes" magazine and it's the only one available in your area. Most agencies use the magazine, which is distributed for free. A year-long contract will get you the discounted rate of $60 per page. The magazine is black & white newspaper print of poor quality and the pages are in random order. A new magazine becomes available. It's full color, glossy pages and has listings arranged by location and price. The magazine offers to add your listings for free, permanently, no strings attached. They also offer the option to buy advertsing for yourself at the same rate as the black & white magazine, with shorter term contracts. In addition, everything goes online for free. Would you use the free service? Would you abandon the poor quality magazine and advertise in the nicer one, even though your listings are already in there, by location and price, for free?Do you see any advantages or disadvantages of the new magazine? How would you feel about your listings being comingled with other agencies listings, for the purpose of buyers being able to find what they want more easily? more
