Logically and in my opinion, the most cost effective advertisement is advertisement on the move. What moves? People and Cars. According to a 2006 survey by the Advertising Specialty Institute, 44% of the advertising specialty market is apparel. I believe the reason logoed apparel dominates the advertising specialty market is because people on the move wearing embroidered or screen printed hats and shirts become traveling advertisment that drastically broadens your marketing radius.
T-shirts and golf shirts are the most popular apparel choice, with caps and headwear following closely behind them. Sweatshirts and button down dress shirts follow behind headwear. Stay up to date with the latest, by annually watching for new apparel fashions and choices that will keep you in style.
Advertising your logo on cars with bumper stickers, antenna toppers, or auto shades are another great form of moving advertisement that will increase your marketing radius.
Bumper stickers have been around since World War II and they have advanced to higher levels by offering magnetic bumper stickers and new easy to remove adhesives. Antenna toppers have become quite popular. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes that onlookers enjoy seeing. Also, show off your company logo while keeping you and your car cool with auto shades.
Investing in moving advertisement gives you dollar value that keeps businesses growing.

I looked at Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot, Target, and JC Penneys for a Chicago Cutlery serrated knife. After taking the time to go to the all those stores, it finally occurred to me to shop online for the knife, and guess what, I found the knife I was looking for in less than five minutes at Amazon.com.
I had purchased some books from Amazon.com so they had my contact information on file so I didn’t even have to take the time to fill out my contact information. I pressed a few buttons and almost like magic, a few days later, my serrated knife arrived to my door step. I didn’t have to pay any freight because I purchased a couple of books with the knife and so my total was more than the required $25.00 to qualify for free freight. You simply cannot beat that!!
This experience converted me to shopping online. Saving time and gas not only saves money but my sanity! This past holiday, I was able to enjoy more time with my family and doing nice thoughtful things for them and my neighbors. Discovering online shopping has made me feel less frustrated, thus, my shopping experiences have become happier and more positive.
If you are like me, you won’t miss the holiday rush and waiting in long check out lines. I am proof that even though I am approaching 50, I can convert my old ways to new and better methods. Give shopping online a try, I am pretty sure you will like it.

I had the privilege of helping oversee a neighbor’s funeral luncheon. Three other ladies and I called around the neighborhood looking for volunteers to make casseroles, salads, cakes, and rolls. Not one person told us no. Even though people were busy, everyone accepted the invitation to make time to bring a dish of their choice for their neighbor’s funeral luncheon. The family thought there would be about 225 people at the luncheon. However, only 60 people ended up coming. The number discrepancy was over estimated by the family, but I also think Christmas time is a busier time, and so most likely, some people from out of town were not able to make it to the funeral.
Volunteering to help at this funeral made me feel the Christmas spirit of giving. Although it is difficult to fit funerals, births, and weddings in at Christmas time, they truly do bring the true spirit of loving and caring for others.
