Minding Your Business! Featuring: The Benefits of Email Marketing

-Presented On US Sports Net By Yahoo Small Business

By: A. Roberts

Email marketing is one of today’s more efficient and accessible ways of advertising. As for global reach, it remains the most cost effective marketing strategy at your disposal. Some companies have phased out their more traditional marketing approaches such as Yellow pages, billboard, and cold calls in order to experience a more ‘instant gratification’ effect from their marketing efforts. Even the smallest of businesses have turned to Email marketing to help boost sales and revenue. Email Marketing is Not Spam! First off, when I refer to email marketing, I am not referring to spam. A proper email marketing campaign is targeted to people who want to hear about your products or services, typically, customers, prospective customers, or members if you work in an association. Email marketing is part of a marketing and communications function and should only be executed if you have the permission of your contacts of subscribers. If you do not have properly developed list of contacts of people who have agreed to hear from you, and you go down the route of blasting out unsolicited emails, well, you’ve effectively let the world know that you don’t want any friends. If however you want to learn more about the right way to execute email marketing campaigns, then read on. Business Mail - Get 1000 GB of Free Space w/ Yahoo Business Mail! Getting Started A good starting point is to get hold of an email software application that has the capability to distribute mass emails to a specified contact list, store demographic data, and track results of your campaigns. I’m partial to InSite Messages because it does everything you’d expect an email campaign system to do plus, it generates instant reports on pertinent information such as send rates, link-through rates and ties all your campaign data this back into contact information and message history. InSite Messages was a heaven sent whenever I had to begin my marketing campaign for survey participation. We also used it to help bring in registrants for our Spring and Fall Conventions, product releases, publication sales and weekly newsletters to our members. The only thing to remember about blast emails is to be mindful to send meaningful information and not to inundate your customers’ inbox with emails containing unnecessary information. Some Benefits Won’t clog up your email server. Cost effective and sometimes even FREE. Outbound emails can be scheduled and sent automatically. Comes with templates for professional look and feel. Automated contact lists and subscription links. Manage content or insert feeds as content. Easy to read, up-to-the-minute reports.  Beyond the Basics Beyond basic email marketing communications, many news services are now using email campaign management software to send news and bulletins to subscribers. A good email campaign management system will allow you to insert RSS feeds directly into the page that will be emailed to subscription lists. All you have to do is indicate what feeds you want included on your page. You can then schedule when the message or bulletin will be sent, and the feeds will be emailed on a single page to your subscribers. Of course this works well if you have a list of subscribers. If you are using a tool like InSite Messages, you can manage contacts and subscribers and assign contacts to any number of lists. Once your contacts are in the system, you can easily set up unsubscribe links in the body of your messages. If a contact no longer wants to receive emails from you, they can simply click the unsubscribe button and the email campaign software will drop them from future mailings. Below, I have outlined a quick summary of a few ways businesses and organizations are using email campaign software to communicate and market to their stakeholders. Customer Newsletters & Bulletins: Enewsletters and bulletins are a great way to connect with customers on new programs, products, services and to communicate other important information about your organization. Employee Newsletters & Bulletins: Internal communications is an important and often overlooked function. Email blasts to employees on new programs, initiatives, products and services can be a very effective way to communicate what is going on in your organization. Email Marketing Campaigns: Email marketing campaigns are a great way to market new programs, products, services and communicate other important information to your customers. News Services and Announcements: Email event notifications and announcements are also important to communicate to your customers and prospects. Press and Media Releases: Public Relations companies have really picked up on email campaign software to streamline the design and distribution of professional press releases. With a click of a button media contacts can be notified immediately. Whichever direction you decide to take your email marketing, you are sure to keep your customers in the loop and up-to-date on what is going on in your organization. And at the very least it proves you are alive and well and flowing with the ever-changing tides of technology.

CELEBRATING NATIONAL SALAD MONTH! TEN TIPS TO JAZZ UP A SALAD

From BPI Sports-

It’s National Salad Month, which means it’s time take a stand for salad. Despite its reputation as “rabbit food,” salad is nutritious, and when prepared the right way, delicious! All through May, we encourage you to incorporate salads into your diet – but not just any salads. Create a salad you can actually look forward to by adding toppings, trying new dressings and even branching out with some new greens.

In honor of National Salad Month, we present the best tips and quick fixes to jazz up a salad.

MIX UP YOUR LETTUCES

Iceberg and Romaine are not the only kinds of lettuce. Try mixed greens, arugula, endive, kale and other leafy green bases.

OPEN A JAR

Adding olives, pickles, yellow peppers, capers, and pickled beets can really perk up a mundane pile of greens.

SAY CHEESE

Cheese can be a salad highlight. Blue cheese, parmesan, feta and goat cheese lead the way, but the sky is the limit when adding cheeses to salads for fantastic flavors.

GET FRUITY

Just because you add fruit to a salad, does not make it a fruit salad. Don’t be afraid to toss a few grapes or berries into your salad or boost it with chopped apple, pear or mandarin pieces.

BE SEEDY & GO NUTS

Adding nuts to salads adds protein and flavor. Walnuts and almonds are salad main stays, while pine nuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, chopped Brazil nuts or hazelnuts add more unique flavors.

HAVE FUN WITH FUNGUS

Mushrooms are as diverse as salads. You can find a mushroom flavor to complement or enhance almost any concoction of vegetables. Get adventurous with chopped shitakes, portobellos, criminos or chanterelles.

GET FANCY WITH SEAFOOD

Embrace your inner gourmet chef and sear up some fresh caught tuna or tilapia! Too ambitious? Canned tuna, salmon and sardines make great salad additions too, plus add valuable protein.

TRY A LITTLE SOUTHWESTERN FLARE

It’s not too hard to turn a plain and simple pile of chopped romaine into a salad that screams with delicious Southwestern flavor. Simply add ingredients like avocado, bacon, cheese, corn and black beans. For more protein, add chipotle marinated chicken. Dress it with a creamy cilantro option and for even more flavor, garnish with Pico de Gallo.

ADD SOME ASIAN STYLE

Take that romaine and mix it up with some diced carrots, crispy noodles, baby corn, snow peas and tangerines, and you have a restaurant-worthy dish. Dress it up with a soy ginger dressing and top it off with grilled chicken, steak or shrimp. Put the finishing touch on with sesame seeds.

DROP SOME BEETS

Want to make plate full of plain arugula pop? Drop some beets on it. Try roasted beets over arugula greens with goat cheese and a raspberry vinaigrette for an easy but deliciously gourmet salad idea.

Chicago SWAT Team Storms House of Triple Murder Suspect

This tragic but all too familiar violent story started Wednesday night May 11th at 11:20 pm on the 1500 block of west 71st street in the Englewood neighborhood, and would ultimately end on Thursday May 12th at around 3:00pm on 103rd south Union in the Fernwood Neighborhood. Chicago Police said Kevin Robinson was wanted for questioning and was the prime suspect in the shooting deaths of three people Wednesday night in the West Englewood neighborhood. The shooter knew the victims, who appear to have been family through a child they shared. Chicago police Said Robinson is suspected of killing his girlfriend 26 year-old Makeesha Starks, her father 50 year-old Jerome Wright and 26-year-old Kiara Kinard, in the city's Englewood neighborhood. Two of the victims were shot in the head and the other in the back. When police arrived to arrest Kevin Robinson a several hour standoff with Chicago Police began, the situation escalated when Robinson leaned out a window and exchanged gunfire with officers trying to talk him out at around 9:30 a.m.

Five hours into the standoff Chicago police used bullhorns to appeal him to give himself up, at around noon, the suspect's mother pleaded with her son from a bullhorn, her shaken voice could be heard echoing throughout the block, his mother pleaded with him for over two hours to no avail to come out peacefully. As the siege continued armored personal carriers started rolling up to the scene loaded with specialized officers they were clearly getting ready to move in, the chatter coming across the police radio confirmed the Chicago police were concerned about the kids that would soon be converging on the area from the three local schools, moments before the kids were getting ready to be released from the schools, the Chicago Police decided to take swift action and SWAT was finally unleashed and stormed the house only to find the man had apparently shot himself. Robinson’s body was found in an upstairs room on the floor with a gun in his hand, it was not made clear by Police officials if the man had been struck by any of the bullets fired by the Chicago police officers. The trail of destruction left by Kevin Robinson was finally over at around 2:45 pm. At a 5:00 pm press conference The Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Robinson had an extensive rap sheet. He was let out of prison early he only served 3.5 years of an 8 year sentence for armed robbery, and was also convicted of aggravated battery and was arrested for attempted murder; with all of this criminal history this so called misunderstood youth was put back on the streets to commit these heinous crimes in the Englewood Neighborhood. Before the police press conference the sister of Kevin Robinson tried to plant the false narrative that her brother was innocent of all charges and that the Chicago police used excessive force and unjustly killed her innocent brother, while she was making this false claim a rival group stepped in and attempted to set the record straight.

Jesse Duplantis - [NEW] Faith For The Impossible and Prayers God Answers - Going To A Friend At Midnight

Prayers God Answers - Going To A Friend At Midnight

By: Rob Marshall

In Luke 11:5-8 we read a parable that Jesus taught the disciples. Luke 11 is the story about Jesus teaching His disciples how to pray. And while this parable isn't technically a "prayer that God answered," by asking some questions about this parable, we learn some valuable lessons that will help our prayers get answered. Who is the "friend"? Jesus starts the parable by asking, "Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him'; and he will answer from within and say, 'Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you'?" (Luke 11:5-7) Since Jesus is teaching about prayer, and we are the ones going to the friend, the friend must represent God. In Philippians 4:6 the apostle Paul tells us, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." What does it mean that the man went at midnight? It's interesting that Jesus specifically states that the man went to his friend at midnight. It represents the darkest hour of the night. It's the time when we feel the most hopeless and desperate to get the help we need. And it's the time when there is nowhere else to turn but to God. We have probably all experienced times when we felt that we were at the end of our ropes, when our faith was failing, but we went to God anyway. And we simply prayed, "Lord, no one can help me but You. Please hear me!" That's what it feels like at midnight. Why does he ask for three loaves? Have you ever had guests come to your house? If they were coming for a meal, how much food did you want to have in the house? Was it: not enough, just barely enough, or more than enough? Most people would want to be sure that they had more food than was needed. The reason is that they would want their guests to feel that they could eat as much as they wanted and not feel guilty about it. If there wasn't enough food this man would have been embarrassed in front of his guest and his guest may have felt bad and not enjoyed the food. When we come to God at our most desperate hour, it's time to ask God for more than we need. I don't know how many times I've caught myself saying, "Lord, all I need is just this little tiny bit..." Jesus is teaching us that we should come and ask for more than we need. That's the kind of prayer a loving God wants to answer. Why does the friend tell him to go away? For a long time I just didn't get this. I read it and sort of skipped over it because it seemed like the intent of the parable was to teach us to be persistent with our prayers. I thought that the fact that the "friend" didn't want to get up and give the man food was unimportant. Recently I realized that this is a crucial part of this parable. If the friend represents God, what does it mean that God tells us to "go away"? What it tells us is that God creates resistance! I'm not really sure why that is, but that's what Jesus is saying. One reason may be that God is testing our faith in order to purify it and drive out the doubts that cause us to question Him. But whatever the reason, we need to understand that this isn't just some game that God is playing. He wants to answer our prayers, but He also wants us to remain steadfast in our faith even when He resists. Can we be persistent and get our prayers answered? Jesus concludes the parable by saying, "I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs." (Luke 11:8) It's not a matter of being obnoxious or harping on God, but of understanding our need to depend on Him. It's midnight, we're desperate, and there's nowhere else we can go. God is telling us that He wants us to keep praying and asking until we receive what we need. The benefits go far beyond just getting the answer we want, because God is perfecting our faith at the same time that He is responding to it. It is right after this parable that Jesus gives us one of the most well-known promises about prayer, "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." Will you go to your friend and keep knocking on His door until you receive what you need? Because that is the kind of prayer that God answers. Rob Marshall is the author of "Taking On Goliath - How to Unleash the David in All of Us."
