Advertisement Ideas: I’ll Have a Hug and a Donut

     This week there were two non traditional days celebrated that could have helped you to build your brand and increase your revenue one was on Friday, it was National Donut Day, the other was on Saturday, it was International Hug Day. I began to think how many businesses that rely on foot traffic knew of these two days and did anything to capitalize on them?  I came up with an idea that if these two days are close together in 2013 that you can sponsor a campaign I’ll Have a Hug and a Donut. It could be done very simply by advertising two-three weeks prior to these days that on a certain day to commemorate National Donut Day and International Hug Day that at you place of business the first 150 people to make a purchase will receive a free hug and a donut.

 

      There are many non-traditional holidays that you as a business can capitalize on and many are included in this book:

Advertisement Ideas: Honing Your Skills!!!

I was asked how do you get to Carnegie Hall. My answer was practice. The more you practice your craft the better you become. Preparation is half the battle. One key is to practice in the mirror and videotape yourself and tweak for improvement.

Through Practicing and critiquing your videos you will become a better presenter. For example this video has some mistakes but I kept it and posted it to learn and show people it is okay to make mistakes as long as they help you to improve.

Some great tips to help you hone your skills are:

. Write a Script and Rehearse

. Go With The Flow and keep going even if you make a mistake

. Practice in Front of A Mirror

Post image for The Three Laws of the Bar ExamSetting aside time everyday to practice your craft will set in  motion the skills needed to succeed.  Remembering the adage  how you do anything is how you do everything is a key element in honing your skills. In being able to hone your skills daily you will deliver a peak performance. As a PA Announcer I make it a point to practice daily. I find a game on TV of any sport and I do my announcer voice so that I can be the best announcer when the time comes to do the announcing at a live event. In college I made a tape for a friend where I made up an entire baseball game and I sent it to him so he could critique it. By doing this I was able to hone my skills and improve on my craft. Today there are many videos of me at www.youtube.com/jdogglederman that I watch to see what I did correctly and what I need to improve.
