WRS- Referral Guide

Message From The PresidentThe way business owners and professionals generate new customers can change dramatically and permanently and we know this because of the major ups and downs that the past four years have brought us. Many business owners and professionals can agree that the biggest challenge has not only been adjusting to this difficult and ever changing economy, but it has been to accept that customers, clients, and patients are embarking on a new paradigm of thinking twice before spending. This challenge continues to resurface and it has left many business owners and professionals feeling stuck and perplexed about what to do next, how to grow their business and how it fits into this ‘new’ marketplace.

Therefore, it is vital for business owners and professionals to be proactive and learn how to keep new customers flowing in the door at a steady pace, in spite of this shift. We need to constantly reflect on our marketing, networking, and advertising strategies in order for them to continuously evolve, stay ‘current’ in any marketplace, and remain visible and effective to their target audience. Here are a few questions that should be asked to help business owners and professionals evaluate their marketing strategies: 1. What has changed in the marketplace and how are consumers adjusting to this shift? 2. Are my current strategies productive and conducive to the marketplace and the needs of consumers? 3. Where am I visible? Am I visible enough? 4. Do people trust me enough to send me their referrals? 5. If I continue utilizing my current marketing strategies will I generate enough new business to reach my daily/weekly/monthly goals?

So… what has changed? • Customers think twice, three or four times, about spending. • Since the new trend is to ‘save money,’ many consumers have adopted the mantra “Do I really need this?” before making a buying decision and are often buying only what they need. • The sales cycle is much longer than it once was. • Relationship marketing is back and will top the charts. This includes any social media platforms you may be using to promote your business. (Although, as many social media watch dogs say, the verdict is still out as to the effectiveness of this new medium to actually create new revenue, it is an important and effective way to stay connected to your customers.

Now what?As savvy marketing directors of our companies, we need to acquire the skill of knowing how to determine which marketing strategies are right for our business. Also a good idea: knowing how to present our services and products in such a way that it moves the flame of desire from “I want this” to “I need this.” Doing so without pressure or hard-selling is certainly a skill. This is a primary marketing skill that needs to be acquired and added to your market-ing toolbox. Acquiring this skill will also save you thousands of dollars in wasted marketing efforts.

We need to build relationships with people who have the ability to refer business to us. It is a known fact: the more people who know and trust us, the more referrals we generate. Make attending ‘live’ networking events an essential part of your marketing strategy.

Last year we noted that we had been watching all too many business owners abandon their marketing strategies and place all their efforts into Social Media Platforms to find that the ROI (Return on Investment) has not yet shown up. They are feeling as though they are on a treadmill that is sucking up their time with little profit to show for it. Don’t get me wrong, these platforms are here to stay and for some businesses it is working great and they do have a place in your overall strategy. However, they are not the end-all be-all when it comes to acquiring paying customers i.e. closing the sale. This year many of those business owners and professionals are now adding ‘live’ networking back into their marketing strategy

WRS- Referral Guide

Message from the President, con’t.in addition to some other traditional marketing strategies. Keep in mind that social media platforms will never replace the effectiveness of the relationships you can build via ‘live forums’ where you can look someone in the eye, shake their hand, and build trust.

We also need to be certain we know how to position ourselves in the marketplace so potential customers respond to our marketing outreach. Obviously, in order for our potential customers to respond to our advertising, we need to be visible and market and advertise our business on a consistent basis, or our potential customers will choose our competitors!

Equally important is to be sure you are skilled at describing the benefits of your services to potential customers so they can conclude you are the right choice when they are ready to buy. If your phone is not ringing with enough potential new customers or your email bin is not filled with the same, you either are not doing enough marketing or the marketing you are doing is not effective. By the same token, if you are not closing 80% of the potential customers who do call you from your marketing efforts, perhaps increasing your skill level in this regard would be a good idea.

It is common knowledge that business owners tend to cut their marketing and advertising budgets when the economy slows down, but that is exactly the time when you should be investing in your marketing! It is not as hard or impossible as you might think to come up with a cost effective and proactive strategy to acquire new customers. Think about it. If your business is not creating the revenue you desire, the problem with your business is not a lack of money, it’s a lack of customers that creates a lack of revenue problem. Keeping your business highly visible and your message out there, especially when the economy is slow, is not only the solution to one’s lack of money problem but it is good business insurance as well.

My experience has proven that if we keep this positive vision of growth in our sights and move forward with confidence and a solid marketing plan, we can position our businesses for growth regardless of the state of any economy. It is a wise and savvy business decision to invest in our businesses, although it may not always feel like it. You know the old adage, feel the fear and do it anyway? It is a mantra many of us business owners have, at one time or another, chanted to ourselves.

Many WRS Members and I have weathered four so-called recessions and we have collectively learned a few things. The good news is that we have all survived the financial hits and they always pass. However, fear can make us jump into action or it can make us want to pull back and retreat. But, we don’t want to find our businesses behind the eight ball, surpassed by our competitors who are increasing their marketing. I not only believe but I know from experience that jumping into action, especially during an economic slow down will lead to positive results and keep our businesses healthy, especially during difficult economic times.

Therefore as many WRS Members begin to analyze the strategies that may or may not have worked and begin to set new goals for their business, I encourage all of you to remain proactive. Put your marketing strategy into ACTION! Ramp up your marketing and get your message into the market place as much as possible as we are about to come out of this recession. Now is the time! As consumers start increasing their spending, you want to be sure they know what you do and how to find you.

If you are ready to kick start your marketing plan and start acquiring a steady stream of new business, but don’t know what to do or how to get started, please give us a call. We will be able to support you and point you in the right direction. I guarantee it!

Wishing you much success,

Why A Merchant Should Accept Credit Cardsby Evelyn Siegel

Many business owners report a sharp increase in profits when they begin to accept credit cards. Credit Cards allow customers who do not have cash to make purchases, and open the door to customers who choose to make purchases by credit card or debit

card, because they prefer to make a single payment for all their monthly expenditures.

If you have outstanding receivables that are past-due, you are likely to be experiencing a problem with cash flow. When you offer the possibility of making payments by credit card or debit card, you can clear up your present past-due receivables and avoid them in the future.

For large purchases or services you provide that might be considered expensive to the majority of your customers, you may need to offer them the ability to make payments. If you do not accept credit cards, you have to extend credit to the customer and hope they make their payments over time. You can minimize your risk by allowing the customer to make the payment in full by credit card, which provides the customer the ability to pay for their purchases by monthly payments to their credit card account.

When a business provides the ability for customers to pay by credit card, the number of bad debts to the business is decreased, cash flow increases and overhead is reduced, thereby improving profitability.

Evelyn Siegel is owner of Cash Flow Services and has been helping her clients increase their sales by accepting credit cards from their customers. She can be reached at 310-826-4847 or visit her website www.cashflowservice.com for further information.

Business ArticlesIS SOY INK BETTER THAN “CONVENTIONAL” INK? By Renee Delgado

“Conventional” ink is petroleum based and uses a mixture of water, resins, pigments, and a variety of metals such as barium, copper and zinc. The water waste from the printing press, even when properly disposed of, can leach these toxic metals into the soil and groundwater. Heavy amounts of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are also released during the printing process when using petroleum based inks. VOC’s are a primary cause of headaches and dizziness among printing company employees.

Soy ink is made from soybean oil, pigments, resins and waxes and does not contain all of the heavy metals that petroleum based ink has. During the printing process, a significantly smaller amount of VOC’s are released.

Another benefit of soy based inks is that they produce brighter colors. This is due to the ink’s lighter consistency, which allows it to lay on the paper differently than do petroleum based inks. Soy based ink also degrades nearly twice as fast as petroleum based ink, making it easier to de-ink paper during the paper recycling process.

Soy based ink is also great for printing full color stationery, as the heating point is much greater than petroleum based ink. What this means is that when you run your stationery printed with soy ink through either your color or black and white laser printer, there is less of a chance that the colors on your stationery will run, fade, or ruin your laser printer by coming off on the rollers. I learned the hard way.

However, I’d also like to offer both sides of the eco-picture. We at Green Graphics and Printing DO prefer soy ink over petroleum ink. No one in our shop ever gets headaches and we are not leaching toxic fumes and metals into the earth. How-ever, we are also very aware of the fact that only 33% of the soybeans produced in 2008 came from the U.S. Many acres of forest and rainforest in other countries are being cut down in order to provide room for soy bean growing farms, so we are always on the lookout for a product that will be a 100% win for the environment. Renee Delgado, is the owner of Green Graphics and Printing, founded in 2005 to provide consumers the highest quality eco friendly printed materials at a low cost while limiting waste and harm to the environment.

Business ArticlesHarm Reduction, Moderation (Controlled Drinking), and Abstinence: 3 Approaches to the Treatment of Drug and Alcohol Addictionby Dr. Joellen Lapidus, MFT, PsyD

The definition of success for most drug and alcohol treatment in the US is total abstinence,

i.e. zero use of the substance in question. Both therapists and clients often feel a sense of frustration and failure if this goal is not achieved. Two other treatment approaches can be equally effective: as either legitimate stepping stones, or end points for treatment.

If you reduce the negative effects of addiction for your client, their family and society, that is called Harm Reduction. Since not all drug and alcohol users have passed the point of the permanent physiological nervous system changes that mark addiction, often a program of Moderation (or controlled drinking), with very clear and specific guidelines may be an effective treatment.

Both Harm Reduction and Moderation are not currently accepted treatment goals in most hospitals and rehabilitation programs in the US. They are often frowned upon and not even taught in graduate schools. Find out for yourself! Google Harm Reduction and Moderation to learn more about these alternative important treatment approaches to drug and alcohol addiction. Dr. Joellen Lapidus is a psychologist and helps her patients with alcohol/drug addiction, depression, exhausting anxiety, and mood swings. She can be reached at 310-474-1123

Business ArticlesHome Improvements That Pay BackBy Kay Rodine

Thinking about remodeling but not sure what improvements to focus your energy and financial resources on? According to a “Cost Vs. Value” report for the entire country from Remodeling Magazine, on average, a minor kitchen remodel recoups about 83% of your investment while a total home renovation recoups about 70% and a bathroom remodel can recoup about 78%. Minor remodeling projects recoup over 5% more value that major ones. But why the higher payoff from the kitchen upgrade? Homeowners have made the kitchen the hub of the home. They spend so much time there they want a space that has style and functionality that suits their needs. But don’t make boosting your home’s resale value your main priority. Sellers seldom recover 100% of their remodeling investment. Rather homeowners should focus on creating spaces that they can enjoy now but will hold their value for a future buyer.

Certain kitchen and bath improvements are more likely to return the biggest bang for your buck in the long run. Some are eco-friendly and provide energy savings as mandated by new statewide building code changes. Plentiful and sensible storage for both kitchens and baths with up-to-date faucetry are winners. Solid surface counter tops, a kitchen island, dual sinks in the master bath and a walk-in shower may mean major remodeling but are very high on everyone’s list. Some improvements may be cosmetic fixes and extras that add pizzazz that all appreciate and are willing to pay for.

Move MoreBy Nora Wallace Walsh

It is important to think of fitness not only as structured exercise but also as the activity that you do as a part of your daily routine. Think about increasing your activity without necessarily adding more time to your day. Where are there opportunities for you to be more active and less sedentary in your life? Look for opportunities to move.

Both children and adults should include a minimum of thirty minutes of moderate-level physical activity (such as brisk walking) on most, and preferably all, days of each week. You don’t have to get in your thirty minutes all at once. And you don’t have to do it in a gym. Short bursts of exercise can add up over time to better your fitness and health if you do them regularly.

Here are a few ways to fit in fitness:

At home: Actively play with your children instead of sitting on the sidelines; walk while talking on the phone; do stretching activities while watching TV.

At work: Walk out of your way to get coffee or water; walk to pick up lunch instead of having it delivered; set the timer at your computer to remind yourself to stretch every hour.

Where you least expect to: Plant a garden; wash your own car instead of going to the car wash; walk around the outside aisles of the grocery store at least once before starting your shopping; take the stairs instead of the elevator; park farther away from your destination.

Nora Wallace Walsh is the founder and head coach of Healthy Balance Fitness, a health and fitness company that helps women achieve balance in their bodies and their lives by providing fitness services that fit their individual lifestyles.

Business ArticlesGreen Floorsby Diana Drake

What is a Green Floor? What is a Natural floor? How green is green and how natural is it? The answers vary depending upon the person you are asking and the floor you are talking about. Just because something is natural, doesn’t make it safe or “green”. And, there are plenty of floors that are “green” that aren’t natural. The criteria we consider in determining if a floor covering is really a green floor, is multifaceted and we look at many of the following factors:

• Socially responsible companies that embrace environmentally friendly practices and manufacturing techniques that are not detrimental to the environment.

• Distribution, shipping, and packaging methods using materials that minimize the impact on our planet. Often times LEED credits can be obtained simply by purchasing locally.

• Renewable materials; the ability of the raw materials to regenerate.

• Recycled content, what percentage of post-consumer product is used in the manufacturing process.

• Toxicity, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and air quality standards of the product inclusive of the installation process and the care and maintenance thereof.

• Life expectancy, how long does the flooring last. Will it wind up in a land fill or is it recyclable?

Business ArticlesProfessional Looking Printed Materials: A Valuable Tool For Success!by Sharon HelmerWe all know how important it is to make a good first impression; however, what if you can’t meet your customer face-to-face and your printed image is all you have to represent you? Would your printed image be a good representation of what your business stands for?

There are many elements that go into a printed piece. One of the most important elements is branding, and one of the key components to successful branding is having a memorable logo.

Often times I am asked, “Is branding essential for my business?” My answer is always, ABSOLUTELY! Think about it. When we see a logo or an “icon” (Nike) or a “typeface” (Coca-Cola), the image is imprinted in our memory. So once you have a logo created you should incorporate it in the design of every printed piece you create. Regardless of the size of your business, a recognizable logo can go a long way in helping you capture more customers.

Another important aspect of branding is the actual words you use in your marketing materials. To ensure that your words support your logo, don’t be afraid to hire a professional who can help you choose the right verbiage to compliment your ad. Also, make sure your design is not cluttered with text and that it is in an easy-to-read font. Remember, you only have an instant for customers to glance at your printed materials…make it easy for them to read what you have to say.

Additionally, you want to choose paper that represents your profession and is functional for your business. It’s important to use the same paper stock for all your stationery items so everything matches. If your target groups are corporations, it’s important to use a stock that has a watermark. It shows professionalism and success. Remember, a quality product is essential to a quality image.

A specific ink color can create instant recognition and association with your company when used in repetition. You can also give an illusion of multi-color by using a color stock with a pantone ink color or black. How are you using color to portray your business?

One last point to consider when choosing paper and ink is the steady evolution of “green” materials. By educating yourself on the various eco-friendly resources available, such as recycled paper and soy-based inks, you’re not only helping to save the environment, but also setting a positive example that will benefit everyone. Many printers already offer discount prices on eco-friendly products. In fact, some experts believe that as the sustainable methods/materials movement gains even more popularity, it will lead to reduced production costs for printed materials – a win-win situation all around.

“The Print Lady” of Quality Discount Printers, Sharon Helmer is committed to providing the lowest prices in printing (even eco-friendly printing!) without sacrificing quality or service. She can be reached at 818-995-6011 or [email protected].

ways for small business owners to network as it

creates a lot of opportunity for business in 3rd party

referrals. To come from a place of “what can I contribute &

who I can refer” is a wonderful philosophy that really works.

I highly recommend the group and have built my business on

this technique.”
