You know a national magazine. Like Popular Science, Time, Family
Circle, etc. I have some coupons that I want to sell to a national
audience. I have an 8×11 circular that I have been using. And it
really works !! I already used one magazine, it is called the
Home Business Connection. Now some of you may know about
advertising and marketing more than I do. Can you please tell me

Bri*Di asked:


I’m a ’spa coordinator at a amazing Day Spa in Orange County CA, but besides my receptionist duties, I’m also helping out (as much as I can) with any promotional ideas, marketing, a little advertising.

We already do a lot of different things but I’d love to hear what specific techniques, or ideas would make you or anyone come back to a spa.

What are you looking for? What would be the cherry on top that really made the sunday (so to speak lol)

Here’s what we have already…
- a website inessencedayspa.com
- we send out flyers with promotional prices
- we send monthly emails with different deals
- we have 30min free GC we give away to clients, businesses, and homes
- new guest specials (discounted services for 1st-timers)
- a rewards cards where you refer people, write a review online, sign up for the membership, etc recieve a certain number of pts for each thing ultimately get a free hour massage or facial
- last but not least we have above average customer appreciation and service. we always put our clients first (which is the most important in my oppinion)

….but somehow we’re still not reaching our goals

I’d love some ideas of more specific things; maybe what someone you go to does to make you want to return! Or a spa that did something different suprising in a good way…

Where can I find good, targeted email lists?

Denise M asked:


I am the author of a business book that’s specifically targeted to women, home-based business owners. It’s already considered a business bestseller. After the holidays I’m interested in doing a promotional campaign to make my book a bestseller on Amazon.com.

To do this I have to find people with good, current email DB lists (can be a few hundred to thousands) that contains a lot of women, home-based business owners.

Of course there’s a win-win benefit for those list owners who decide to work with me.

Any ideas where I can locate people with good lists.

All the best,

In reply to Cassandra’s question – the name of my book is Testosterone-Free Marketing and you can get a personally autographed copy at http://www.tfmbook.com It’s a myth-shattering book for thousands of women who’ve read it and created more cash flow in their businesses.

All the best,

Hi Spamdex:

I’ve contacted list brokers in the past and amazingly they don’t have lists of women, home-based business owners. Surprising, but true. They have home-based business owners and they have women but not both to make it more specific.

Plus, they seed their lists so that if you send more than one email – it’s a problem since you’re renting the list for one time only. With an Amazon push you send a series of 7-8 emails so that doesn’t quite cut the mustard.

What I need to find are people with a site and an ezine for example that goes out to several thousand people. Or, a top level MLMer with a big email list.

I can’t actually use their list. The emails have to come from the owner of the list – but I write them. I’ve watched very closely how other authors I know closely do this and generally list brokers would be an excellent answer but not in this particular situation.

thanks much, Spamdex.

Any ideas how to market/advertise a new website affordably, as in FREE ads? I am on a very limited budget?

My business is specialhomeproducts.com. I am getting a pretty good number of visitors, but not very many sales yet. Site has been up since August. I know it takes awhile for the search engines to really pick up your keywords, metatags, etc., but want to get this moving as quickly as possible. Any help given would be much appreciated. I am disabled, and am trying to supplement my disability income with this part-time at home business…as so many hopefuls try and many fail…I don’t want to be one of those statistics that fail!! I REALLY need this extra income….anyone out there on disability will understand what I mean by that!! Plus, I need this at home work to keep myself going, and not to get depressed all the time. Thanks for your input.
Getting some great ideas from you all….thank you so much. Imisidro….I especially appreciate your comments…unfortunately, I am pretty much locked in to the website format I have, due to the hosting company who partners with my supplier…they will only allow me to show a MAXIMUM of 8 products on my homepage. Wish I could show more and had more flexibility with the look of the site, but they won’t allow it….have considered starting over and having someone else build another site with the same products, but that would leave out the advantage I now have with this company, in that they keep track of inventory, what is in stock and out of stock, etc. for me…I don’t have to do any
cutting and pasting of the products pictures or descriptions…..so there are
drawbacks and good points at the same time with this company I am working with. I have already been submitting articles to articles sites….(another suggestion made)….started submitting to the press releases today!
And, yes, I know all about the pay per click programs like Google AdWords….those are the ones I am avoiding as long as possible….heard some nightmare stories of people who have lost a LOT of money using them…those clicks can add up to a large sum in no time, especially if you don’t have corresponding sales to offset them! And, of course, lately we see lots of ads for getGoogleAdsfree and make millions doing it…an ad for a 128 page EBook that supposedly sells you a special secret on how to trick Google AdWords so that you end up not paying them anything…yeah, right…..you all give me your take on that one too, please! Google is not likely to let their AdWords program be free, no matter who claims they have a secret in getting around the costs of it….don’t you agree?

Shihua Prosperity Commercial Consulting Limited
Expertise for software localisation process

China and International development teams
Local sales Presentation;
Scalability and upgradability preserved

Shihua Prosperity Commercial Consulting Limited has experience of localisation of software products. Shihua Prosperity Commercial Consulting limited brings the software engineers and translators together to optimize your product for Chinese market. Our International-based software localisation team provides the interface between your developers and our technical teams.
The process begins with in-depth analysis of the product and target markets, leading to the identification of elements requiring localisation. Combining our teams with our translators, we will be able to produce successful versions of your systems and applications for the Chinese markets.
Shihua Prosperity Commercial Consulting limited builds teams combining the skills of China and international developers, who develop double-byte character capabilities into your existing applications. Every care is taken to ensure that scalability is preserved, and that future upgrades can be localised in the most cost effective way. Once localisation is complete the product undergoes comprehensive QA processes to ensure that it meets the same performance standards as the source product.
Website Localisation Teams
With the largest internet population in the world – China is outstripping all expectations in its dominance of e-commerce.
Shihua Prosperity Commercial Consulting limited offers a variety of services to help our clients develop their optimum online presence for Chinese market. Any company intending to operate in the region requires Chinese language website, while for certain industries a purely web-based presence may be the most cost-effective method of market entry. With our updated information of the latest developments in the field of e-commerce, we are well placed to assist B2B and B2C ventures in creating effective web packages in Chinese market.
The process of website localisation to produce a Chinese version draws on the varied capabilities of our translators, copywriters, web designers and developers to build a powerful online presence.

Localisation projects are delivered by our specialist locally based e-commerce and technical teams. While our consultants have demonstrable experience of servicing Western clients, more significant is their experience in delivering solutions to local organisations. E-commerce in China remains the almost exclusive reserve of local companies and the most sophisticated techniques have therefore been developed by their primarily local suppliers.
Experience of our teams in China enables us to build powerful e-commerce capabilities for our clients and remain within the relatively stringent regulations currently in place for foreign enterprises. Our in-depth understanding and informed predictions of developments in China enable us to optimize the strategies we develop to take advantage immediately of daily changes to the internet climate in China.
