			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In marketing, as in life, it is important to keep things fresh.  When we become complacent, we are unable to thrive.  However, when we expose ourselves to new things, our senses come alive.</p>
<p>As a small business owner, you must do your best to keep your marketing techniques fresh.  Don’t mail out postcards every month.  Your customers will expect them, become bored, and toss them in the trash.  For a simple solution, try rotating your marketing techniques.  Create brochures one month and flyers another.  Instead of using that same old sandwich board outside your ice-cream store, design an eye-catching banner.  Give your dated business cards a makeover, too!</p>
<p>These changes are certain to grab people’s attention and draw more customers to your small business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When designing marketing materials for your business, one of the first questions you should ask is, “who am I trying to attract?”  What group of people will support your business the most?  Are you appealing to students, families, young singles, the elderly?</p>
<p>Once you answer this question, keep this group in mind when designing your marketing materials. For example, if you are a doctor who specializes in geriatric medicine, an ultra-trendy business card may not be ideal, no matter how much you like the design.  A simple card printed on quality card stock would be best.  Including an appointment reminder on the back of the card would be helpful, too.    </p>
<p>If you own a family restaurant, you want your marketing materials to reflect your relaxed and casual atmosphere.  Stay away from elegant script or images of martini glasses and olives. </p>
<p>Recruit some friends or family members who would be likely clients, and ask them how they feel about your possible designs.</p>
<p>Keep their thoughts in mind while designing postcards, brochures, and letterhead, too. </p>
<p>Remember, as your business grows and evolves over time; don’t be afraid to make simple changes to your logo or marketing materials.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a small business owner, your time and resources are limited.  However, your marketing strategy should be a top priority.  One of the easiest ways to covey professionalism is to have your marketing materials complement each other.</p>
<p>Your business cards, address labels, letterhead, envelopes, postcards, and pens do not need to march exactly.  However, they should complement each other.  Once you perfect your logo, decide what products you need most.  Be sure to include all relevant contact information in the design , so it will be at your clients’ fingertips.  The colors and themes should mesh nicely, and all your marketing materials should go with each other if they were combined in a package. </p>
<p>Having custom marketing materials is important, but it isn’t difficult to accomplish.  For example, Vistaprint is a great resource for small businesses.  Vistaprint makes it simple to design marketing materials.  Simply upload your own creation, browse online galleries, or work with creative services to find the perfect design for your business.  Vistaprint also offers <a href="http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/ns/studio3.aspx?pf_id=064&amp;combo_id=4298&amp;gallery_id=64&amp;category_id=11&amp;referer=http%3a%2f%2fwww.vistaprint.com%2fvp%2fwelcome.aspx%3fxnav%3dwelcomeback%26rd%3d2&amp;rd=2">free business cards</a>, pens, and more.  All you pay is shipping!</p>
