Language Learning and Cultural Experiences Go Hand in Hand, Stresses Omnicom School of Languages

February 25th, 2010

Canada is the destination of choice for many international students seeking to develop their English skills

February 23, 2010 – Canada is the destination of choice for many international students seeking to develop their English skills. Proficiency in English not only opens doors in their home countries, but also is vital if they want to pursue their education in North America. Traditionally, language schools have concentrated on simply teaching language skills, neglecting the cultural component. However, to become truly proficient in their new language and succeed in any future educational pursuits, international students also need to experience the culture of the country.

At OMNICOM School of Languages in Toronto (www.omnicomstudy.com), one of the oldest and most successful language schools in Canada (www.omnicomstudy.com/index2.html), we recognized this early on. As a result, we supplement our language courses with a wide variety of cultural activities and, wherever possible, we integrate major cultural events into our curriculum. The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games for example, have given us a unique opportunity to enrich classroom learning with a host of activities, quizzes and exercises that have brought the Games, and the language, to life for our students.

Our mission is to provide our international students with a top-notch language education and to immerse them in the culture of the country to enhance their learning experience. In addition, we ensure that they are fully prepared for any language proficiency test required by Canadian colleges and universities. We are fully recognized and accredited by Languages Canada and can put you on the path to success at Canadian colleges and universities. OMNICOM School of Languages (www.omnicomstudy.com) – a true leader among English language schools in Canada helping students learn and perfect their English since 1974. Deal with the best because you deserve it – chose Omnicom School of languages!

Speaking – Characteristics of a Good Speaker

February 11th, 2010

Speaking in front of an audience is a skill and one that everyone should have learned in college. Being able to communicate and express yourself to many people is essential in every aspect of life, no matter the type of work you do. A good speaker does not necessarily have to have a good and loud voice; and although that’s an advantage, without the right characteristics, unfortunately, an impressive loud voice isn’t enough to keep people listening. If you intend to become a speaker that’s not only engaging but impressive, build the right characteristics in yourself and watch people awe while you’re speaking.

Confident and Funny

Stepping onto a stage, shy and uncertain of yourself, results in an audience that is also unsure of you and your ability to entertain them for what, the next 30 minutes? Any audience wants someone speaking to them to be convincing and the only way you can be convincing is to show you’re confident about yourself and about what you’re saying. Don’t fidget around with your hands, hair or any equipment on the speaker’s table (pens, papers and microphone). Add audience bonuses if you throw in a few funny punch lines out of the blue. This makes the audience feel a little more comfortable with you, as well as gives you time to think and pace out as they laugh. Don’t be too serious. Keep a light mood during speaking so you won’t feel nervous.

Organized and Responsible

No speaker should come to an event without being prepared – unless you’re really, really, really good (or just destined to fail?). Speaking requires a lot of energy, planning and research, especially if you’re not as familiar with the subject. Learn why your audience is there listening to your speech, know their wants and goals. Be responsible enough to research on important things that will help make your speaking a success. Avoid being late to events as this ensures major negative points to you as a speaker – everyone will be hating you already as soon as you step onto the stage.

Determined and full of passion

To make an effect on your audience while speaking, you have to be determined to make your point. Use various methods to pass your message onto your audience and use passion to get them hooked. Be convincing with your passion for the subject and earn respect for your dedication.

Speaking is a skill that everyone can learn with much practice and sufficient dedication.

“Outsourcing of Advertising and Marketing activities is the trend”, says Stellar Concepts and Design

December 21st, 2009

The life blood of any business is its ‘Marketing Department’. Though it is a cost centre but its significance is unavoidable. An efficient marketing work force can make a business grow and diversify limitlessly. But it involves a huge amount of cost to the company. The cost includes hiring of professional marketers, training if required, salary to be given to them, and many more. Thus, smart business people are signing contracts with outsourcing companies that provide ready made trained professional marketers to handle the marketing and advertising department of the company. This can save cost of the company and it can also have more time to focus on things with a high priority.

Stellar Concepts and Design is one such outsourcing company that accepts projects from different businesses and handles their marketing department. They offer many activities such as web design, online promotion, offline promotion, printing, branding, etc. and also charge a very reasonable price.

“We are a one-stop shop to fulfill your company’s entire marketing and advertising needs. If you have decided to outsource your company’s marketing activities, the best thing you did to the entire business is that you gave a professional direction and also reduced a lot of burden from your employees. Still there are companies that sign up outsourcing contracts with more than one company for their marketing and advertising, as they do not get an entire package deal from such companies. They will have to go to different company for their company’s website designing, printing, TV commercials, online promotion, etc. This consumes a lot of time and money of the business and also all the internal data is revealed in front of many other advertising companies”, says Anthony Giudice, President and Founder of Stellar Concepts and Design.

“Instead of opting for two or three companies for your marketing needs, you can select a company that offers you a complete package. Stellar Concepts and Design has a competitive edge over many other marketing companies. Our customers can drop their entire burden of promoting their business to our heads, and then the job is ours to gain client satisfaction. Our employees are well-qualified and trained professional and they possess all knowledge, skills and experience to handle all tasks effectively and efficiently”, explains Anthony Giudice.

Thus, if you want to take a smart move then start implementing your plans of outsourcing and get started right away.

“Effective marketing campaign can help the companies to reap the benefits of growth stage,” says Stellar Concepts and Design

December 9th, 2009

“Friday, the 4th November’09, gave our economy a number that is though not so relieving about rising U.S. unemployment, but the best so far since the day recession engulfed the economy. According to White House Report, 640,000 jobs have been created or saved by the $787 billion stimulus package. The report also projects that the stimulus money would create or save 3.5 million jobs by December 2010. Though it is hard to come to the conclusion at this point of time as the small size of gain is indeed smaller than the jobs lost, it is however, an indication of the growth stage. This will also impact the hiring decisions and marketing activities of Companies as they prepare themselves for the survival of the fittest. And, the best way to reap the benefits of this phase is to design marketing campaign effectively,” opines Anthony Giudice, President and Founder of Stellar Concepts and Design.

Stellar Concepts and Design, nation’s one of the leading full service marketing and advertising companies specializing in all areas of marketing (both online and offline), has been offering affordable marketing campaigns for small to medium sized businesses and help them to continue their mark in any phase of economy (down, recovery, boom) and improve the market share.

Market is an unpredictable place where the environment keeps on changing. To sustain in the market a Company adopts two marketing strategies viz; Proactive Strategy and a Reactive Strategy. When a business acts after an occurrence of a change it is called as a Reactive Strategy whereas when the company plans to do something on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a change it is called as a Proactive Strategy. A strong company prepares itself for every change and is ready to mould themselves by their pre-planned strategies. Hence, a proactive approach can help the companies absorb the shock and run smoothly in any phase of economy.

“Stellar Concepts and Design will help companies save their unnecessary financial expenses. We are giving them the option to outsource their marketing and promotional activities. They can save themselves from suffering a huge amount of loss by not taking the risk of implementing marketing plans that are made in-house by people who lack the required knowledge, experience and expertise. We have many years of experience and expertise in this field and we have the confidence of taking your business to the right track, in the right market, within the right segment”, concludes Anthony Giudice.

November 17th, 2009

Stellar Concepts and Design says “a steady and a strategic Marketing plan will make a Business win the race in long run’

September 11th, 2009

It is a general pattern seen in every company that they do not spend continuously on advertisement. They have a tendency of spending more when the sales are down and less when they feel that they are getting enough profits. That’s when the competitors try to grab the opportunity and they jump in the market to attract all the customers towards their product. So all the money spent before was lost due to this pattern of investment in advertising.

“It is imperative that you keep up with a steady advertising and marketing plan as the sales you see today are from advertising and hard work you did months ago.  Therefore it is a must that all businesses get on a strategic marketing and advertising plan now, considering a huge surge in business as the economy continues to improve and grow.  Companies, certainly, do not want to miss their window of opportunity by not advertising when their competitors are,” suggests Anthony Giudice, Founder and President of Stellar Concepts and Design.

Being, successfully, in business for 12 years, Stellar Concepts and Design has helped hundreds of businesses with their all kinds of marketing and advertising needs at an affordable price.

“We believe in maintaining long-term relationship with our clients while giving value for their money. The Affordability and Quality of our services are the two main reasons for having the long-term clients, returning clients, referral clients with new ones keep coming in. Hence, our business never felt the stress of slowdown,” rejoices Anthony Giudice.

Business without advertising and marketing is like a cake without sugar and icing. It has been noticed since ages that an awareness of your product can give you returns that you can never imagine of. Your efforts should not be eaten away by a few competitors just because you are trying to save your pocket.

According to a media study conducted by Yankelovich Partners and Harris Interactive, more than 85% of business executives believe advertising in any economy is extremely important.

“If you are trying to hold back your investment on marketing and advertising due to its high cost, then Stellar Concepts and Design is here to give you attractive and affordable package of a strategic Marketing and Advertising plan that will benefit your business both in short and long run.” Giudice signs off.

PhotoHand.com Catches Growing Attention of Professionals and Small Businesses

September 9th, 2009

New York, NY, September 9, 2009 – Fast and affordable online service for image editing and photo design – PhotoHand.com is quickly turning into one of the most valuable online resources for small/SOHO business, entrepreneurs and professionals looking to boost their images.

Traditionally limited by modest marketing budgets and now influenced by the current recession, professionals and small businesses are reconciled with the fact that their promotional images can’t rival those of corporations. PhotoHand.com is changing this perception by bringing Madison-Avenue quality image editing and photo design to Main Street folks.

The strictly online mode of operation might not fit the processes of large companies but it is perfect for Actors, Models, Consultants, Dentists, Indie Designers, Small Manufacturers, Beauty Professionals, Tattoo Artists, E-shop Owners… the list goes on.

Just upload your photos through PhotoHand.com website, supply your directions in plain language (what you want or what you don’t like in the photos) and in three business days you have the images that will make you or your business stand out – all without breaking the bank.

PhotoHand’s fees start at $3.50 per photo for complete cosmetic retouching. For $11.95 your product photo will be altered into an ad worthy of glossy magazines. Online proofing and changes are free.

Unlike many photographers, PhotoHand works under the “work-for-hire” clause and thus does not claim copyright over retouched photos or photo designs. This means PhotoHand’s clients have the full ownership of their images and can take them to any printing company of choice.

PhotoHand.com works with amateur photos as well as with professionally shot images. The company realizes that many business owners or professionals take one shot at a time when they are ready with a new sample and paying $75-150 an hour for one-two photos is excessive. Most of them have long figured out how to use powerful digital cameras and how to set up the lights for a shoot.

Naturally, such DIY photos need some editing help but so do professional shots, as PhotoHand can attest. With a little bit of post-production TLC, PhotoHand makes such photos shine.

After all, it’s 60% how you look, 35% what you sound like, and 5% what you say.

Bestratereferrals Now Handles All Your Mortgage Marketing Needs

July 24th, 2009

NV, July 2009 – Mortgage marketing ideas are very hard to come by. Even if someone is successful in finding out the best methods of mortgage marketing, they will not make the marketing ideas available to the public. If you search for the mortgage marketing ideas online you will be able to find hundreds of articles based on that. How many of them of these articles about the mortgage marketing ideas do you think are real? The bitter fact is that more than 90% of the mortgage marketing ideas available online are not effective. Infact, they are written just for the sake of getting some content online. Thankfully, the professionals at Bestratereferrals are ready to share the best and effective mortgage ideas that they have.“Getting effective ideas for mortgage marketing is a great achievement. Who wants to keep the great achievements as a secret? We certainly like to spread good news around the planet as fast as we can. That is the reason why we are announcing the effective mortgage marketing ideas to the world” says Mr. Zach South of Bestratereferrals.

Speaking on more details about mortgage marketing, Mr. Zach South said, “You need mortgage marketing ideas to assist you into the field and meet real estate agents, but you do not want to do cold calling. It does not need to be as troublesome as some mortgage originators make it. Each time you leave your office and prospect in the field, there is a multitude of opportunities waiting to be possessed. Every time you talk with real estate agents there are something to gain. And what is involved is to know where to seek and the clues to uncover. For example, in your next conversation with a Realtor, tell them you want to partner with one or 2 new real estate agents and you’d like to locate other real estate agents just like them. Describe some traits, and then ask who they know that matches it.”

Business Success Coach Sue Clement Launches Marketing How-To Membership Program

June 27th, 2009

Vancouver, BC, Canada ( Prfriend ) June 27, 2009 -Sue Clement, the Vancouver, B.C. business success coach famous for starting an employment agency from scratch and growing it into a multi-million dollar business, just launched her new membership program.  In the program, she combines coaching with teleseminars, expert interviews and other resources to help business owners and entrepreneurs dramatically improve the results of their marketing efforts.

Clement is known for suggesting that people might as well throw their networking event business cards out the window, for all the good they do them if they approach networking the traditional way.  That’s because she has much better strategies, and anyone who joins “Your Marketing Edge” will get valuable tools they can put to use immediately as they grow their business faster than ever before.  They can even try it for free — there is no charge for the first month.

So many small business owners had great dreams and visions of success when they first started their business.  And yet, they find themselves bogged down in lots of details they don’t enjoy.  And they’re not making enough money either.  The truth is, they’re approaching marketing all wrong, which leads to them to having fewer clients than they should have — and often they have clients that aren’t even ideal for them.  So neither party is very happy.

“That’s no way to run a business,” Clement says. “It certainly drains away the joy and enthusiasm you had for that initial dream…”

“And it literally hurts me to even watch,” Clement continues.  “Fortunately, once I start working with my clients, their businesses turn around quickly.  It’s been my delight to work with and help many small business entrepreneurs such as yourself reclaim the success and financial rewards they originally dreamed of when they started their businesses.”

“But unfortunately, there’s a limit to how many people I can work with one-on-one.  And besides, many business owners who need my help the most can’t really afford it,” Clement says.

Her coaching program is the answer to that dilemma: Your Marketing Edge will allow her to coach many more people and help them get their marketing right — and effective — at last.

What will new members get?  Right now, during the pre-launch period, they will not only get the first month of their membership free, but they will also get five teleseminars as audio downloads along with action sheets.  Plus, they will be able to lock in a lower price for the duration of their membership.

And as part of the regular membership, they will get to discuss their marketing and business questions with Sue Clement directly in monthly one-on-one turbo coaching sessions.

Members of “Your Marketing Edge” will also get a monthly teleseminar, where they learn in-depth insider secrets to a different aspect of marketing each month.  In addition, there will also be a podcast  featuring a special guest — a well-known expert on that month’s strategy — who will spill the beans and answer the members’ questions.

For more information, please contact Sue Clement by email at sue@sueclement.com or by phone at 1-866-85-COACH.  Sue’s website is at http://www.sueclement.com, and the sign-up page for her membership program is at http://www.YourMarketingEdge.com

The Importance Of Marketing During A Recession

June 22nd, 2009

Ft. Lauderdale, FL—Michael Cohen, President of one of South Florida’s leading full service advertising agencies, Cohen and Company Creative, Inc. encourages businesses to continue their marketing efforts despite a challenging economy.

“Often times during a down economy, marketing and advertising falls into the category that companies cut from their budgets first, and that ultimately does more harm than good.  Marketing and advertising is an investment in the future growth and survival of a company,” said Cohen.

“With a tough economy and competition that is more aggressive than ever, businesses should recognize that now is the time to forge ahead. This is a great opportunity to pick up market share and stand out from the competition instead of fade away,” Cohen said.

Cohen explains that marketing can put a company in a much better position now and in the future.

“Removing marketing from your company can make it very difficult for customers to find you and if you don’t have business, then unfortunately you could go out of business. It is important to maintain your advertising budget so you don’t have to play catch-up to regain lost market share.   Companies who loose share of mind loose share of market and in the end, it costs more to return to the former level of customer awareness.”

“Many people have a preconceived notion that marketing has to be expensive to be effective, this is incorrect. It is however imperative that companies practice smart marketing by looking at how they target their consumers and the kinds of messages they convey. During a recession, the same old, same old no longer applies.  The needs of the consumer have changed and companies really need to examine their marketing and advertising strategies to incorporate the best plan of action.”

“People are still spending, companies just need to make sure that it is their business the consumer thinks of first”, Cohen concluded.

Cohen and Company Creative, Inc. is a full service advertising agency in South Florida.  The agency specializes in advertising, marketing, public relations, website optimization and social media marketing.  Founded in 1993, Cohen & Company Creative, Inc. ensures results for their clients through their experience in print and broadcast media, public relations, direct mail and Interactive marketing.

Boosting you book sales on the web with podding

May 21st, 2009

Podding is a simple and effective way of increasing book sales on the web by teaming up with a specialist publisher like DragonCub (http://www.dragoncub.com/books/index.php).

Podding is a new term coined to describe a relationship between an author and a ‘print on demand’ publisher.
Instead of would-be authors becoming collectors of rejection slips from agents and traditional publishing houses, a podding agreement will let a writer cut out all the middlemen and go to a podding publisher, who will take a manuscript, edit and format the text ready for firing out paperback or hardback copies as soon as the orders come in.

A podding partner like DragonCub (http://www.dragoncub.com/books/index.php) will also help with marketing the book, but because podding cuts the overheads, writers earn up to 80% royalty on each sale.

Writers can also help themselves sell more books online with these five simple steps:
-Teaming up with a podding partner like DragonCub (http://www.dragoncub.com/books/index.php)

-Set up a website – call the site .com. This is easy to do with a blogging tool called WordPress. Then, write one or two articles a week for the blog and link the blog to your to your book’s sales page on the podding site.

-Let people know about the blog by setting up accounts on social networking sites – the type of site depend on the target market the book is aiming at.

-Join forums and online communities that specialise in niche knowledge and offer free articles based on snippets of the book in return for links back to a personal site or the podding publisher’s sales page.

-Politely ask any readers who comment on the book to post their comments on the publisher’s sales page. Reader recommendations are valuable resources that drive sales.

The objective is to raise the profile of a book by raising the profile on the internet. Every site that carries one of an article, blog or comment with links back to the publisher’s sales page makes a book easier to find for interested readers.

Readers are out there – writers just need to team up with online publishing experts like DragonCub (http://www.dragoncub.com/books/index.php) to help find them.
