    Advertising: Pro's and Con's of Various Media

    I already posted my strats for 2013 in the Adventures of Thread. Commercial for us goes with the economy, realtors call us when people are buying homes and construction companies are building. Residential is still virtually untapped because we've limited geographies and the large number of...

    Advertising: Pro's and Con's of Various Media

    Pretty much anyone making middle class and up income is my target. So my billboards are all in the parts of town where they live, work and shop. For commercial jobs, we tend to rely on word of mouth and me doing personal networking. All of the major companies call us, we are the only ones...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    meh It would seem as if Marvel is scraping the bottom of the barrel with phase three. I don't find Ant Man or Dr Strange to exciting, I never have.

    That being said, there would be nothing tacky about having a sign on a grand opening.

    I loved this first ep. And yeah, I paused it on the part with Gannicus laughing.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Actually, forget that, I'd load up on all the penis enhancers I could find, and screw her so much she'd need to spend a month in the regeneration chambers to stop the bleeding from all of her orifices.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Voyager is starting to piss me off. Every time they are in trouble, 7of9 adds her magical pixie dust (Borg tech) to help them out. I'd like to stick my penis in 2of3 of 7of9's holes.

    The Superpower Thread

    The fact that you said "people" and not "women" makes you a gay. Also, who cares about giving a woman an orgasm, as long as you can dump your load?

    Star Trek: Discovery

    It does feel like work. I keep telling my wife it's going to get better when we get to DS9. She didn't watch the awesomesauce that was the Dominion War. But I'm committed to watching every Star Trek ep ever made at least once more. I'll get back to you guys in 2014. Voyager is too formulaic...

    I am so looking forward to rewatching all of DS9, but still working through Voyager. How long did it take to watch all of DS9? A month?

    http://www.smalltownmarketing.com/ye...vertising.html The article is pretty spot on. I've found that yellow pages isn't dead yet. It still produces more income directly (although I'm doing so much advertising that people see my business on a billboard, see our trucks, hear us on the radio and...

    Advertising: Pro's and Con's of Various Media

    I went with the $1,200 option on the area with all of the corporate offices. 3k a month was too much. I was able to negotiate 2k a month, being a smaller company but I'm going to give it three more months to see the results. Traffic is low, but the hits we've had have all been with people...

    Jeez, we'll do just under 50k in service fees in January and make 14kish profit on that. Margins are lower because we have no pricing power this time of year, and we've had freak repairs needed (one piece of equipment cost me 2k in repairs this month on unrelated repairs), but at least we have...

    Being a bajillonaire is implied with being super-prepared. Pretty much, I've moved the argument to what powers could beat Batman. The answer is none.

    Notre Dame Manti Te'o dead girlfriend a hoax

    I'm watching this on ESPN now, and we are all getting trolled hard. I can't wait for this guy to join the NFL, so I can buy his jersey. He even got Notre Dame to help him troll us. This guy isn't even a pro yet, and he's trolled the entire country. I look forward to following his career...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    I guess I'm pretty vanilla, I haven't spent $100 at the casinos this year, drink like a $10 bottle of wine a week, and don't mess with whores. These guys come to work burnt from gonorrhea or chlamydia sometimes. They are married, but didn't get the STD from their wives. One of my best...

    And employees like this is why owners a lot of time have to act like Dad. I have to counsel my guys all the time to stop blowing their take-home pay at the casinos. We are the only company that works all year around in my industry, but that's no guarantee. One day, we might slow down like the...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    No owner wants to hear that, when it takes you six months to a year to develop someone into a Manager. But the reality is if he sees his replacement around the corner, he'll become humble. That, or he'll continue to fall on his sword, but it won't matter, you'll have a replacement for him.

    Let me share something with you that a Chairman of the Board and board member of at least five major corporations shared with me in B-school. He had signed on as a board member of a new company. They were supposed to be meeting on strategy with the CEO, yet every strategy meeting of the board...

    Like I said, I came up with my own down, and this book influenced me to save 55% of my HHI so I could do my own thing. Take the book at face value for being good advice, but don't buy anything else from the guy. Like any business owner, he's trying to capitalize on the book to sell you other...
