The Role of Newsletters in Generating Sales Leads

Advertising is the key to any marketing strategy and enhancing sales leads. A carefully written and targeted advertisement can go a long way in increasing business leads and increased sales, however it is a concern why many companies still do not take the time to filter out their advertising opportunities before emerging in one and finally end up spending thousands of dollars on the wrong market.

The advent of online newsletters and ezines has provided small businesses with an opportunity to compete with the bigger brands. The small business that could not afford to spend on publishing newsletters can now easily do that through the internet and get their own share of business leads.

PETA's Veggie Sex Super Bowl Ad Rejected By NBC (VIDEO)

The New York Post's Page Six reports that NBC has rejected a Super Bowl ad from animal rights organization PETA due to its hypersexualized nature:

NBC pulled the plug on a PETA pro-veggie commercial planned for the Super Bowl because it "depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards," according to NBC Universal's advertising standards executive, Victoria Morgan. The ad, which carries the tagline, "Studies Show Vegetarians Have Bet ter Sex," shows lingerie-clad stunners getting "intimate" with vegetables.

Death threats force removal of atheist billboard

"Don't believe in God? You're not alone." was the message on a billboard put up by the Cincinnati Coalition of Reason (Cin CoR) on Reading Road at 12th Street, one block south of Liberty Street in Cincinnati. It went up on Tuesday but by Wednesday afternoon the group was told it would have to come down again. Lamar Advertising, the company that owns the billboard, leases the land on which it stands and the landowner wanted it taken down. He (or she) had been receiving death threats. Fred Edwords, national director of the United Coalition of Reason, said, "We weren't given the landowner's name or precise details, Nor did we pursue them. It was sufficient to learn that this person had received multiple, significant threats and that Lamar would act quickly to alleviate the problem. Nothing like this has ever happened to us before."

Esquire's December Issue Attempts "Augmented Reality Reading"

Back in September, Pixels and Policy took a look at the multiple ways augmented reality was creeping into areas as diverse as consumer electronics and space travel.

Now Esquire wants in on the fun, and they've taken augmented reality in an interesting new direction: As a platform for jokes, movie clips, and high-end advertising.

We take a look at the December issue, and why augmented reality might not have a bright future in magazines just yet.

News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch has suggested the company's online newspaper pages will be invisible to Google users when it launches its new paid content strategy.

He claimed that readers who randomly reach a page via an internet search hold little value to advertisers.

He is planning to make newspapers like The Times and Sunday Times chargeable online.

Using the robots.txt protocol on a site indicates to automated web spiders such as Google's not to index that particular page or to serve up links to it in users' search results.

He said: "There's not enough advertising in the world to make all the websites profitable. We'd rather have fewer people coming to our websites but paying.

NRCC, RNC & Gingrich Back Margaret Sanger Award Winner

clipper's remarks: you might want to ask for your money back.

As I mentioned in my column post on the NY23 special election, the NRCC is using conservatives’ money to back a radical leftist and attack a bona fide, viable conservative candidate for Congress in a safe Republican district. Gingrich has endorsed the radical leftist.

Now comes word from CQ that the Republican National Committee has made a “six-figure transfer” of funds to the NRCC to support Scozzafava:

In addition to Scozzafava’s radical leftist record that I outlined this morning, Scozzafava is the proud recipient of the Margaret Sanger Award from New York family planners.

Yes, that Margaret Sanger.

The Republican National Committee also confirmed Friday that it was making a six-figure transfer to the National Republican Campaign Committee to help in that race.

The NRCC has already spent nearly half a million dollars on advertising and other independent expenditures. And with the Scozzafava campaign on television only sparingly — reportedly because of slow fundraising — it has become the main source of advertising for the Republicans at this point.

The RNC is also giving $85,000 to the state party, the maximum allowed for a coordinated campaign, and has two staffers on the ground in the district.

In a letter to supporters, Gingrich called the Nov. 3 special election “an important test” for the party in advance of the 2010 mid-term election. Scozzafava is “Our best chance to put responsible and principled leaders in Washington,” he said.

If you have given to the NRCC, RNC, or Newt Gingrich under the impression that they are using the money to support conservatism,

Volunteers save hundreds of cats and dogs from death

Hundreds of newborn cats and dogs have been saved from almost certain death this year by a growing foster-care program at OC Animal Care, shelter officials say.

The animals were too small to be spayed or neutered, which meant they could not be adopted into permanent homes. With neither the space nor the staff to care for them until they got bigger, the shelter would have most likely euthanized them in the past.

So far this year, it has found temporary foster homes for 425 animals, mostly kittens.

This year alone, veterinarians and nonprofit rescue groups have taken in some 800 of the youngest animals that need special attention, such as bottle feeding. That’s in addition to the 425 animals placed in foster homes.

After their stint in foster care, the young animals return to the shelter better accustomed to life with people, which makes them easier to adopt. Many also come with hand-written signs from their foster parents tacked to their cages, advertising them to prospective owners.

No Question, Consumers Care about Tracking

Yesterday, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California Berkeley published the results from their survey measuring consumer attitudes toward behavioral advertising. TRUSTe agrees with the researchers that providing individuals with more transparency and control around the use of their information would engender greater trust online.

TRUSTe is currently developing an advertising practices program for our seal holder publishers to improve disclosures and choices for consumers, in line with the FTC’s Self-Regulatory Principles For Online Behavioral Advertising:

- Deliver enhanced disclosure beyond the privacy statement

- Provide meaningful opt-out options from behavioral advertising

- Improve access to advertising information

- Improve privacy disclosures around targeting and data retention,

In addition, TRUSTe will extend its dispute resolution services to address consumer concerns in this area.

Top 8 Most Amazing Tree Houses

[Video]

5. This amazing treehouse above was designed by Takashi Kobayashi, one of japan’s leading treehouse creators. This house was designed after an advertising agency in Tokyo, hired him to design a treehouse for a Nescafé commercial now running on Japanese television. Mr. Kobayashi built an oval bird’s nest of a house, 12 feet high and 9 feet in diameter, reached by a circular staircase, and the final price for this tree house was about $38,000. The house is located on a field there owned by the town of Kamishihoro, where it remains an enticing, if off-limits, gift from Nestlé, the makers of Nescafé, to the people of Hokkaido. – Via – NyTimes

FACTS ON JUNK MAIL!

The average person gets only 1.5 personal letters each week, compared to 10.8 pieces of junk mail.

Each person will receive almost 560 pieces of junk mail this year.

That's 4.5 million tons of junk mail produced each year!

44% of all junk mail is thrown in the trash, unopened and unread.

Approximately 40% of the solid mass that makes up our landfills is paper and paperboard waste.

Of course, it really isn't that new a word. Oddly enough, Charles Lindbergh the famous aviator commented in a speech in Des Moines in 1941...

Our theaters soon became filled with plays portraying the glory of war. Newsreels lost all semblance of objectivity. Newspapers and magazines began to lose advertising if they carried anti-war articles. A smear campaign was instituted against individuals who opposed intervention. The terms "fifth columnist," "traitor," "Nazi," "anti-Semitic" were thrown ceaselessly at any one who dared to suggest that it was not to the best interests of the United States to enter the war. Men lost their jobs if they were frankly anti-war. Many others dared no longer speak.

CNN, which invented the cable news network more than two decades ago, will hit a new competitive low with its prime-time programs in October, finishing fourth – and last – among the cable news networks with the audience that all the networks rely on for their advertising.

Individually, the CNN shows were beaten resoundingly by all the Fox News programs

The only CNN show from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. that did not finish last was Larry King, which was third, ahead of the new Joy Behar show on HLN. But Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News had a huge lead with 659,000 viewers

CNN’s performance was worst in the 8 p.m. hour. Bill O’Reilly on Fox News continued his long dominance with the biggest numbers of any host, 881,000 viewers.
