It’s Great Living so Close to Thanksgiving Point

Posted in Advertising and Marketing on December 31st, 2009

We have lived a mile away from Thanksgiving Point for several years now, however it was only this last summer that we bought a pass to Thanksgiving Point.  Some neighbors of ours relayed how great it was and recommended it to anyone.  We thought it sounded like a great idea and thought we would try it out this year. 

In the few short months that we have had it, we have certainly gotten our money’s worth and beyond.  We will be buying a family pass every year moving forward for sure.  The three main attractions are the dinosaur museum, the gardens, and the petting zoo. 

Their petting zoo is called Farm Country.  When you come in the entrance, there is a variety of educational displays about farming.  For example there are typically eggs being warmed in an incubator and newly born chickens in a window next door.  There is also a model cow that you can pretend to milk, followed by a replica of one of the milk jug filling machines you might find at a dairy.  There are all types of farm animals from cows and horses, to chickens, rabbits, pigs, goats, and much, much more.

The dinosaur museum boasts being the largest dinosaur museum in the world.  One of my favorite things there is a replica of a supersaurus dinosaur that is about 180 feet long.  It is just amazing to me to imagine seeing one of these creatures in real life.  As a result of the museum, my four year old daughter has asked us some very intelligent questions.  If you haven’t been, you should check it out.

Advertise on the Internet and Expand

Posted in Business on October 30th, 2009

When it comes down to advertising, most business owners do not want to spend any more money than is really necessary in order to get the same results. It is great getting more business, but if you are paying too much money for it, you are just wasting money. Also, if you find out that you would get the same business traffic regardless of whether or not you advertised a certain way, money is being wasted. That is why it is very important to have some kind of a way to track how customers heard about your business. Do most of your new customers come from client referrals or is it because of some actual advertising you are paying for? Instead of just turning to the local telephone directories or billboards which can be quite expensive, I offer a new thought for you. Invest in some internet marketing for your small business and see exactly how your business traffic is affected. You can have a team of professionals working for your business to make it more popular.

There are some businesses which advertise on local levels while other businesses are nationwide companies. When you are using internet marketing, it does not really matter whether you are looking to find customers locally or nationally. These internet marketing companies will help you get set up with what you are looking for. Go to http://www.orangesoda.com to see one internet marketing business learn what services they can provide to you. Many people use the internet these days to find information and this is just another way for potential customers to find your business.

How Can High End Industries Survive in a Bad Economy

Posted in Business on September 22nd, 2009

When the economy turns south, we all feel it. Especially if our business offers a luxury service or luxury product to middle America. When times are tough, middle America tightens the noose on their budgets and a required to do away with many luxuries to focus on the necessities. Other businesses that target lower budget or discount budgets will obviously thrive. For example; a steak house may have a bit of a hit, while a corner cheap burger joint may flourish. Purchases at the department stores may slack, while business at Ross and the dollar store is booming.
 

An area that is surprising to most is that of services offered to the ultra rich. This class has so much money, and make money regardless of the state of the economy, that services offered to them can do well in spite of the economy. Examples of these would include Rolex repair, or Lamborghini repair. While hot vacation spots may see a decrease in visitors, the highest class resorts will see no change at all.
 

You may wonder why this is. Well, the ultra rich do not have jobs to lose. If you are the owner, the investor, the orchestrator, unemployment rates do not affect your paycheck as directly. Business owners understand cycling economies and know how to make money in down markets. Big time investors certainly understand fluctuating markets and have taken emotion out of the equation. They also know how to invest in down markets. That’s how.
