Book Review

This extraordinary book was recommended to me by a colleague after he visited my new web site, Gift Ideas For Women. The Male Gift Giving Survival Guide compliments my website perfectly, untangling for men the web of gifts for women. It deciphers the components of the complex female psyche to its most logical terms. And no, that’s not a misprint…I just used the words “female” and “logical” in the same sentence.

There is but one universal truth about those of the fairer sex: “Women Love Gifts”. So, all women love gifts… a guy doesn’t have to be a genius to grasp that concept. Or does he? Ask your golf buddy who gave his wife a garden rake for her birthday. “You just had to remind me” he mumbles dropping his head. Make certain that you have lined up another friend for next week’s game though…your buddy is going to drop you like a rock. According to the author, women adore gifts that reflect the love of the giver and his explicit understanding of her desires and tastes.

As a woman, I must salute this author. His book is the literal lifeboat of women’s gift ideas, without which no self-respecting man would ever set sail on the sea of relationships. The author, Tim Connor, is a seasoned and well-traveled professional speaker who has authored 45 books. He wrote this book based upon the knowledge he gained in his personal mission to discover the keys to female happiness. The result of his quest is this easy-to-read, spiral bound book that men can refer to routinely. Not only does Tim’s book disclose the keys to a woman’s happiness, it is the genuine tool for unlocking it with an ever-so-easy click. Read the rest of this entry »

Cal State’s Plan to Distribute Condoms via Newspaper Shelved

Stephanie Birditt, the Advertising Sales Director for Cal State Fullerton’s college newspaper, the Daily Titan, recently came up with what was considered at the time to be a savvy marketing move – partnered with the Student Health Center, and advertised across campus, the newspaper would include a free condom with every issue of the November 14th paper. The idea behind the free condom event was to raise awareness about safe sex on campus and highlight the benefits and services of the local Health Center on campus.

According to the Daily Titan editors, the giveaway was part of an important initiative on the campus to raise awareness about safe sex among young college students. The brilliant idea, however, quickly dissolved into a bit of a PR nightmare for the school when administrators for both the college and the Health Center took issue with some of the advertising that the paper was doing for the free condom event. Marketing material showing two stick figures in missionary position was deemed offensive by the Health Center and they quickly backed out of the deal, saying that they did not want to be associated with any offensive imagery.

The online equivalent of an effective newspaper advertisement

Ask anybody who has been in business for a long enough and they will tell you how newspaper advertisements have for decades helped to build countless small businesses.

The advantages of a newspaper advertisement are many, but what has attracted small business entrepreneurs for decades is the speed at which a struggling entrepreneur (short of funds as many starting small businesses always are, and looking for customers fast) is able to get a very quick response.

Many extremely successful businesses today started off booking tiny classified newspaper advertisements, grew into larger display advertisements (that were still very tiny) and today are multi million dollar enterprises commanding lots of respect. If folks were laughing then because of the tiny advertisements, you can be sure that they are no longer laughing today.

Many of those who know all this stuff are not aware of an amazing new development. That there is an equivalent of the highly effective newspaper advertising online. And what’s more it is FREE. Read the rest of this entry »
