Local vendors plan to sell hot dogs during the festival.? -

The whole question:::local vendors plan to sell hot dogs during the festival. their goal is to sell 5000 hot dogs. if the hot dogs come 48 to a box, how many boxes should the vendors order?

Divide 5000 by 48 and you ll get your answer of 105 the question is can you get a commitment from each vendor and so you re not stuck with leftovers. Good luck

Using direct mail postcards whats a good rule to use in determining how many to send out? -

Direct mail postcards are my main avenue of promoting a course I teach. My goal is about 30-45 students per class. How many postcards should I send out in order to reach my goal?

Well put, Kevin. But I d like to encourage you, Teacher, to think of marketing your class online in addition to or instead of through direct mail. Postcards involve printing costs and postage. And if you re marketing by email, you can bring those costs to almost zero. If you use your own email program and spruce it up with some color and graphics (not too fancy since you want people to be able to read it on a mobile device as well as on their computer), you can reach an unlimited number of people for free. I ve taught a writing class for nearly 10 years and have done all of marketing for that class through an email newsletter. At first, I used my own email as I ve just described. But once my mailing list went over a few hundred people, it was easier to use a newsletter service since I wanted to send several mailings out per year and I wanted to manage the list in ways I couldn t do through email. For a small monthly fee (ranging from about $15-$60 depending on the kinds of bells and whistles you add and how many mailings you send), you can reach thousands of people just by hitting the send button. Online newsletters offer a slew of other benefits -- the biggest being information about your recipients. The moment you send out your newsletter, you can start tracking who has opened it and which links they ve clicked on. If this interests you, check out ConstantContact.com or MyEmma.com, two good online newsletter providers.

The easiest way to answer this one, Teacher, is with a word that is very familiar to you: T-e-s-t. There is no magic formula for direct mail -- nor for any advertising medium -- but most direct-mail marketers will tell you that they can get you returns of about 2 percent. I ve found that s overly optimistic; in the past, I ve found that well-designed campaigns average about 1 percent. Of course, a strong campaign can exceed that. That s where testing comes in. You want to use different designs, wording, pricing and lists to determine which of the mailers is your most successful. Most printers will work with you to be able to vary your order every few hundred cards to help you test. An important note: Make sure you track your test with different codes! I once learned that mistake the hard way, and had no idea where my buyers were coming from.The trick to direct mail is to find the center of your marketing bull s-eye as often as possible. Before creating any mailer, be sure you have defined the perfect customer for your class (not the perfect student, the perfect customer -- in other words, the most likely to buy what you re selling). Have they taken other classes to continue their education? Have they shown an interest in similar subjects to the one you re teaching? Are they members of trade groups that reflect your subject matter?The point of all this, it goes without saying, is to make your marketing campaign more efficient.

I work at promoting a small list of clients. I would recommend mailing bi-weekly. It s enough to get in their face without completely annoying them. You may also save by purchasing in bulk

Taking Paid Online Surveys? -

Im looking for a website that will pay me (not hundreds of dollars a day or anything) to take a survey. I have looked and looked and i either find sites that are a collection of survey sites or the survey site its self wants me to buy a membership to blockbusters online video rental or something and then it will give me $5 for taking a survey of the service.... I DONT WANT THAT!! Like i said, i just want to make a few dollars here and there, im not trying to make a living doing this. Your answers will be very much appreciated :-) Thanks!

You can t find any because paid online surveys is a scam.

I know exactly what you mean, the sad part is the sites that want you to sign up for blockbuster make around $30 each time you do, and then pay you $5 of that money to review it.Dollar Hauler is legit. It is totally, 100% free to join and you will never pay anything to use the site. There are some offers that require a payment, but not all of them. There is an entire survey section on the site, plus daily surveys so you can make money every day (and not just run out of offers).I know you said you re happy with just a few bucks a day, but you could make a little more if you tried to refer a few people to the site too, because you get a 25% commission on everything they make - they still get paid in full, but you get a bonus.Just a suggestion, but it is my favorite site by far.

I remember those days when i almost get mad to find one free survey site that really pay us without charging a fee. The fact is that there are so many survey sites in internet who actually charges a registration fee. I tell you what, run as far as you can, if they ask you money to join their survey site. Any legimate survey site, will not ask you money to join them They actually have to pay us if we join them some people do not understand this, and they pay and later they suffer and get frustrated. So is there really any Survey site that pays us? The Answer is, Yes. I am personally getting paid by a Survey site and please find the below website and register yourself for free,http://surveyadventure.freehostia.com/The best part is that, after you register and confirm the email sent, you will have a chance to win a car. The fun part is that they pay you money for playing games. And you get sometimes $50 for completing offers. Check out the offers area when you log in, you earn more. I personally get paid and you could trust them since they dont ask you any money, you could give a try, there is nothing to lose. I am sure you will be happy at the end of the week seeing money in your account. Have a great day ahead...!

What are the procedures for opening an indoor shooting range in Virginia? -

Me and a friend are looking into buying some land, building, opening, and operating an indoor shooting range on it. What are the procedures followed to do so? I ve looked online to find a site for this, but can t seem to find the right thing. Anyone know how or a site with the proper procedures?

While there are probably some basic things like EPA compliance and such that are common, I m sure VA will have it s own set of rules and laws. A better place to address this question might be vagunforum.net or possibly at the mdshooters forums as there people there which are somewhat familiar with VA laws and such.There s a pretty good chance someone at either place would have a better idea than the average Y!A user. Of course the better option would be getting on a forum that is VA specific.

How do i sell soap to hotels, guest houses e.t.c? -

Hi i am wanting to expand my soap business and sell to hotels , guest houses, and b bs could anyone give me some tips on how to do this. contacting them e.t.c?

the old fashion way ...go knock on doors word of mouth

Why should they buy from you? What s the most compelling reason for them to switch from their existing supplier? Price is rarely a motivator. It can come into it but it s more likely to be to do with the quality of the product, the presentation of it, whether it s customised for them at no extra cost and the quanities they have to order.Pick up a copy of the Caterer and find out who s promoting what there. Your local library should have a copy.Visit some of the hospitality trade shows and ask the organisers about what it costs to exhibit there. Don t take on a stand without visiting the show first. (We did this with Spring Fair a few years ago.)Some B B s and guesthouses just buy what s available at the cash and carry. If they only have 3 rooms with 70% occupancy, at best, they re not going to be big business. Work out the size of establishment that would be worth your while taking on as a client and target them.Good luck!

i recommend that find local business records businesses involving with the product you are going to offer likely from yellow pages post them a mail by postal services or E-Mail with your news lettertelling them why your product is better than the old products they already using....create unlimited business records from yellowpages.comDrop a PM

You set your plan nicely. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and grab them. But why will they buy your product while they are already using another best products in the market. Do not disappoint. As you are going to be new there, so offer them your products with cheap rates or free complimentary products. Let them enjoy it on your Cost price first. I am sure your product gonna be much better than others (competitors). Once they use, they will buy again.

You couldn t afford to honey x
