Where to look for Direct Mail Ideas, Advertising Ideas, Marketing Ideas and Promotional Ideas

With the recession biting deep, advertising and marketing budgets are being asked to produce more for less and creative professionals are wracking their brains to come up with new ideas to make business-to-business marketing efforts hit home. The $64,000 question is, "Where do we look for inspiration and ideas to produce a successful direct mail campaign on a reduced budget?"


The answer is not easy as there are so many different things to be considered but there are certain things that are given in this instance. The product or mailer that is chosen for the direct marketing campaign must be relatively inexpensive to produce. The product must be innovative to capture your customer's attention. It must have impact to grab your customer's attention. It must be versatile inasmuch as it can be made to fit your advertising or marketing message and it must be suitable for custom printing so that it is a totally unique, bespoke product.

With those guidelines firmly in place there is one product area that can offer inspiration, namely, pop-up and interactive mailers made in paper and card.
There are specialist suppliers - mainly printers with specialist cardboard engineering skills - who offer many creative, innovative, new and fresh direct marketing ideas throughout their ranges of promotional pop-up products.

Direct Mail Ideas added to Paper Ideas make winning Direct Marketing Campaigns

Most manufacturers' selections of promotional pop-up and interactive products will set a creative mind buzzing with exciting advertising ideas. The high impact characteristics and vitality of the automatic pop up products alone are enough to prompt the creative juices to flow. For instance, all automatic pop-up marketing products jump to life as soon as your customer opens the pack. The very action gives life to an abundance of creative advertising ideas and suggestions such as growth, life, fun, surprise, bounce, vitality, energy and action for example. A number of suppliers also suggest ways to add longevity and fun to automatic pop-ups by adding fun extras such as wobbly die-cuts or turning the automatic pop-up into a penholder.

Unique, Creative Marketing Ideas

Translating unique and innovative marketing ideas into a direct mail campaign is quite definitely an art and promotional pop up products will help to transform creative marketing ideas into reality. The marketing professional's imaginative ideas and use of simple paper and cardboard engineering techniques is the key to making a unique marketing product. Coupling a creative idea to the movement in the pop up product can provide the key to the creation of a highly individual piece of promotional marketing. From there onwards, the road to a successful promotional marketing campaign is straightforward.

Whitney Woods is a leading manufacturer of promotional advertising and marketing products made in paper and board.

Ghillie Suits for Cheap

The price of a Ghillie Suit can vary depending on the type, size, pattern, and technology. Cheap Ghillie Suits are usually an enormous scam. I regularly check competitors' ghillie suit products, prices, and seRVice to see how we compare, and I wrote this article to prevent customers from scrupulous businesses who sell subpar "truly" cheap suits online.

You most likely found this article by doing a simple "cheap ghillie suit" Google Search, which resulted in a quite a few stores that sell just ghillie suits. You probably noticed, several stores selling ghillie suits at similar prices. If you saw this, then you have little to worry about, but when you see everybody selling ghillie suits between $100-$150 and then some random store selling at $40 - that should cause alarm.

Good quality ghillie suits cost at minimum $60 dollars. So you should ask yourself how is that one store can sell at some price way off from everybody else? They're defiantly not special, so it only means that the store:

1. Is not making money on every sale
2. Is a fraud, and is only looking to collect credit card information
3. Manipulates shipping & handling fees to recoup the cost for low pricing
4. It lies, and will ship you a lesser product or not ship one at all

There is a basic criteria to follow in picking up on scams, or poor quality suits.

Criteria One
Ghillie Suit Description: Many stores out to scam people, will have their description mixed up. The picture they show will show one product, while description describes a totally different product. This is because the store owners do not know anything about the product.

Criteria Two
One Size Fits All. While its ok for products like ghillie ponchos or a one piece pullover, a four piece or a ghillie suit offered with pants and a jacket cannot fit everyone with one size. That's just simple common sense.

Criteria Three
Contradicting statements. Sellers may write "lightweight burlap", we all know burlap is not light, or "fire retardant burlap"; where again someone with knowledge would know burlap is highly flammable!

If you find a ghillie suit that meets this criteria, what do you think you'll get when you order it? My bet, either nothing or something completely different from what you ordered, and it won't be a "happy surprise". You will defiantly be disappointed.

So What Would You Recommend?

To be honest, it would be great if everyone purchased their suits from a reliable store like GhillieGear.com, but this article was never written for self promotion, but to educate consumers on fraudulent sellers that exist to exploit unknowing consumers like you.

Now, the vast majority of online websites are legitimate, and sell high quality suits. If your looking to purchase a ghillie suit, buy one from a store that specializes in ghillie suits. These stores know the products their selling and will have expertise to answer your questions.

Here's a few pointers on which stores to trust:

> Do not purchase products from mega-stores that sell everything from from cell phones to baby clothing. Clearly, these stores do not know anything about what their selling

> Too good to be true. Stores that have prices that are too good to be true, your instincts are probably correct.

> Do not purchase products with conflicting product images, and descriptions - these stores have probably never seen or touched the product.

Camping Gear Storage

You have bought the good quality Camping gear for those great adventures with the family; now you need to look after your investment so you may use your gear over and over and have it ready and in good condition for the next outing.

Mostly commonsense, but things are not always that obvious and there is always just the right [ or the wrong place ] for your gear depending upon how much gear you have and where you live. Obviously tucked away underneath the house may not be the best way to care for those material items such as sleeping bags and Tents, etc

Tents;

Tents should always be stored in a dry place away from insects and mice that may eat or live in your investment without your permission.

Before packing your tent away , make sure it is completely dry inside and out; this will prevent mould and mildew and that rotting smell that will spoil a good nights sleep. If you get caught in the rain and have to pack up your tent wet, just wipe,dry and air it out when you get home otherwise the fittings and stitching will get stressed and possibly rot. Make sure the tent pegs are always packed in their own bag with no sharp ends sticking out to tear any fabric and pack them inside the tent; otherwise they will get lost somewhere just when you need them. Check that all the fittings and fabric is in good condition as well. Don’t put your tent under a pile of heavy items in case some of the poles get broken. The tent that you have is to be your home away from home so it is important that it be maintained correctly and more so if the weather becomes bad.

Sleeping bags

These are usually fairly robust but don’t like dampness at all, they could use a good airing at times although just stored in a dry place away from insects and mice is all they need.

Stoves and Lighting

Ensure these are all clean and in good working order and carry a spare bulb/mantle for those bits that may get damaged or broken and of course check that the tanks are in stable condition [not rusted or damaged] and even make sure the tanks are full if the next use is not too distant. Protective cases will stop damage that may arise from being incorrectly packed or just an accident of some sort ,and these are fairly important in the case of gas lighting with their brittle glass components.

First Aid Kits;

Stockup the various items and possibly carry extra of those items you know you may need/use more than usual.

Backpacks;

These are robust and only require a nice dry spot

Cooking Gear

Gather all your cooking gear together and replace all those things that just disappear or become unuseable for some reason and give them a rough check that they are all clean and easily found.

Your cooking gear is great if it is self reliant and you don’t have to raid the kitchen and find the things you need every time you go Camping;once again sturdy containers for storage are important.

Keeping all your gear organized and ready can save you lots of time when it comes to packing the car for your next trip away as you will have lots to remember and should be start of a great memorable camping adventure.

When packing the family car to get away, it is best to pack the heaviest things at the bottom and the things you may need readily available [ like jackets etc, in case the weather gets bad] to be put upon the top.

A little advanced preparation will save lots of headaches later

EXCITING NEW CARP BAIT FLAVOURS – and Effective Rigs

Flavours catch fish period! But how many catch more fishermen than fish? The idea of a flavour dispersing through the water and attracting fish following its trail and increasing concentration to its source and finding your hook baits, is taken for granted now. How many anglers have not heard of the world famous 'Tutti Fruitti' flavour? How many anglers realise that actually using a bait flavour is a method in itself?



When fishermen think of fishing bait flavours they often think of the ester, ethyl alcohol or solvent based types which were originally familiar and popularly used in baits the original dough, paste and boilie mixtures of the past. Such flavours as strawberry and vanilla are still used by anglers making their own baits, even today.



However, today many flavours are vastly more than combinations of esters for example, that have proven by trial and error to catch more fish than many others tested. Even the powdered flavoured ingredients like the milk shake powders are flavours containing many different components.



Some flavours are actually far more soluble, actively 'mobile' and more volatile in water than you might imagine and extremely powerful carp feeding triggers in their own right. Some perform far better in summer than winter. Some stand out even really producing more fish with high pressure and low water temperatures.



Some of the very few most well known original top flavors are even 'enzyme active' and can contain extremely low levels of very special chemicals which would actually be poisonous if used in higher levels. But then this is the case with most of the powerful 'mind-altering' drugs known today.



There are many secrets of flavours well beyond the scope of any but the biochemist or marine biologist. The key point about flavours is that the very best can actually change the, condition of various neRVe pathways sending signals to the brain, fish brain chemistry, mood and behaviour to one of; "let's move and look for food and eat right now!"



Here is one basic example before we go into an introduction into fishing flavours. 'The extremely sweet protein called 'Talin' is very significant in connection with neRVe pathways and special signalling 'gating' mechanisms which in the end affect brain activity and fish behaviour for example. 'Talin' is an integral part of many modern specialist carp bait 'flavours' with good reason. But more of this later...



Certainly in the UK and Europe, flavourings seem to be inextricably linked especially to carp baits and I think this is largely due to the following reasons:



Many anglers assume that if he likes the flavour them the fish will too, but carp sensory systems are so different to ours in such significant ways that this assumption is obviously wrong in the most general of senses!



In the early 1980's era readymade boilie baits for carp fishing baits were really only just hitting the market with "Richworth's" right at the start of the big commercialization of carp fishing. Just as carp fishing popularity was about to really explode, along came one particular method.



Basically it was fishing a 'bolt rig' set-up with a highly flavoured 'low nutritional' boilie bait which often was a 'popped-up' bait which was totally revolutionary at the time for the vast majority of the anglers.



Only a few of us who had thought of using dog biscuits off the lake bottom, perhaps even directly 'off the lead,' were using anything similarly effective.



A 'back-stop' was used on the line to stop the fishing weight from running up the line as a fish picked up the bait and moved off with it in its mouth. This was very effective at hooking the fish as the line running freely through the lead weight on the line stopped suddenly at the back stop and jerked the hook firmly into the fish's mouth.



The availability of the new readymade highly flavoured boilies and the very effective combination of a heavy lead, hair rig, back stop and better rig materials and hooks like the chemically sharpened 'Kamasan' hooks made this a very easy period to take up carp fishing with high expectation of easy quick fish rewards.



The readymade baits were of a kind of 'neutral' nature as the base mix did not carry a flavour and appeared quite bland. In fact these baits were even available in unflavoured form so that you could add your own choice of flavour to them by soaking neat flavour directly into them and leveraging the freezing in and absorbing effect of defrosting baits.



Or you could simply put some flavour into a bag of neutral baits, shake it about to disperse the flavours and go fishing. It's just the same today when you want to flavour a bag of pellets.



The effect went further in that you could now buy many of the flavours used in the readymade boilies themselves. With these you could add even more flavour to really over flavour your baits or make interesting alternative or unique bait flavour combinations. You could buy readymade floating or 'pop-up' baits in various flavours too.



'Pop-up baits were used to fish the hook and bait off the lake bed to make them even more obvious and enticing to the fish. Also in all probability, these were very likely to be taken first if you had baited your swim with lots of 'free baits' to attract the fish into the swim. This method really multiplied catches.



These baits were a revolution in themselves and literally ripped carp waters apart at the time and where they had not been used before.



At this time most fishermen were coming from an age where you had to make your own baits whether boilies or pastes, because there was simply no alternative, although there were already more and more boilie base mixes coming onto the market for making homemade baits.



The author has many more fishing and bait 'edges' up his sleeve. Every single one can have a huge impact on catches. (Warning: This article is protected by copyright.)

The Best Fishing Spots in the Smokies


With nearly 700 miles of fish-able waters within the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, no matter what your species and stream, your rod and reel will feel tugs. The fish population moves around each year, so the type of fish you seek and when you come determines your prime fishing spot. 53 species of fish swim in the park waters, and brook and brown trout thrive here all year round. Here are five of the most recommended places to catch these fish and have an adventure in the great outdoors.

1. The Little River: The ever-present throngs of locals and tourists make this the most popular fly-fishing spot in the park. The mountainous and forested scenery isn’t bad either and since the Little River is one of the largest streams in the Smokies, both roadside fishing and elevated fishing,after a couple miles of hiking the Little River Trail, are available. This river near Elkmont, Tennessee has some of the best angling for rainbow and brown trout. The prime fishing location is where The Little River meets the Fish Camp Prong. Surrounded by flowers, boulders, and waterfalls, both easy and challenging fishing areas run down the river. The “Y” of the Prong water warms so much during the hot summer months that the rainbow trout flock into the large, deep pools near the gorge that can be difficult to fish and navigate

2. The Horseshoe: If you want to fish for rainbow trout, you must go to this one-mile loop that follows the stretch of the Upper Abrams Creek flowing out of the Cades Cove Valley. Many locals fish here as well, to try to catch some of the booming trout population. You can access The Horseshoe from the Abrams Falls Trail, which runs parallel to Abrams Creek (one of the larger Park streams) most of the way. Take caution, though, because the Horseshoe is notorious for extremely slippery rocks. It will take at least a day to fish the entire loop.

3. Porters Creek: New anglers can test their ripe skills on the smaller trout that live in the calm pools of Porters Creek, a little-fished area of the Great Pigeon River near Gatlinburg, Tennessee. This isolated area has easy fishing during the summer months, when the best trout swim two to three miles from the river’s berth, but the first few miles of the stream remain too warm for the fish.

4. Cataloochee Creek: Since the most popular fishing areas are near the roads, check out this remote area in the northern section of the park. Although it takes awhile to find (about an hour’s drive from Gatlinburg), once there, the water is extremely accessible. Cataloochee Creek also offers the elusive smallmouth bass to patient anglers, and because the Cataloochee Creek hides these waters and open fields, it’s requires less skill to fish here than in other areas of the Smoky Mountains. In addition to the rainbow trout, elk and other wildlife inhabit this picturesque area of the park, isolated by the surrounding 6000-foot peaks.

5. Hazel Creek: For multiple-day fishing trips, you must go to Hazel Creek, a fishing area famous for satisfying even the most cynical angler. What makes Hazel Creek so sought after? Well, it’s only accessible by shuttle boat from the Fontana Lake Marina in the North Carolina side of the park or after a long hike from the tourist spot Clingman’s Dome. But your efforts won’t go unrewarded, as large (and surprisingly colorful!) brown, brook, and rainbow trout swim in both the large and small streams that feed into Hazel Creek. No matter what your skill level, you can fish here. And, with so many campsites along the bank, it only makes sense to stay overnight or make a weekend fishing trip out of it with your buddies or family. At Hazel Creek, you’ll want a rod capable of throwing big flies if needed, but soft enough to handle leader range as well.

No matter what trout, stream, or location you seek, most locations within the park remain stocked at or near the capacity for fishing all year long. Remember, you must get a license from either Tennessee or North Carolina before fishing in the park. And, if you need more help or education, a local fly-fishing school offers guided fly-fishing trips that include day and overnight excursions.

Consider renting a cabin at www.PatriotGetaways.com with your friends or family , you can cook up the fish you caught right there!
