The Coupon-Clipper's Delight
Even with good copy and a good product, sticker shock can be a problem.
Solution: Quantity offers, limited-time offers, and trade-in offers are good ways to show prospects that they're getting a good deal.
Technique: Emphasize the discount with call-out boxes. Do the math in $$ if the savings is a percentage discount. In the body of the sales close, try showing the cost and efficiency of your product compared to similar, more expensive products. If you can make the offer time-limited, do so. And put that deadline in a call-out box on the reply page, too. Another idea: Try emphasizing the savings by creating a "price-off" coupon that gets sent back along with the reply card.

Competitor Category: Bookstores
I've lost track of the number of times I have reviewed some publisher's expensive information product, only to find that it contains less information than a 250-page paperback I can buy at Barnes & Noble for 15 bucks.
One competitive strategy to use against bookstores is micro-niching - publishing in a highly specialized niche that trade-book publishers won't touch.
Example: I can go to Barnes & Noble today and find several highly useful - and quite inexpensive - books on social networking. But if I publish a title like "Building Your Dental Practice With Social Networks," that is too narrow a niche for bookstore sales.

Shop for a well-maintained home in a well-maintained neighborhood.
When you’re looking for a good home to retain resale value and realize a profit if you sale, you need to find a well-maintained home in a well-maintained neighborhood. Property values are dependent upon homes being well-cared-for, with modern amenities and a well-maintained structure and lot.
However, if you have an immaculate house surrounded by a bunch of slobs, your property values may actually decline because the neighborhood is in poor repair. Look for a well-maintained property in a well-maintained neighborhood to maximize your investment.

If You're Late on Your Taxes...
By Tim Clay
Tomorrow's the deadline for filing your taxes, and you're not ready. Maybe you had personal problems. Maybe you kept procrastinating... or are a little lazy. It happens.What should you do? Don't panic...Simply by filing Form 4868, the IRS gives you an automatic extension of six months (until October 15). With the extension, you avoid getting hit with a late-filing penalty, and that can be considerable. The penalty is 5 percent (of the tax you owe) per month up to a maximum of 25 percent of your total tax bill. Avoiding this penalty is too easy to just "let it happen."But, there are still two more ways for Uncle Sam to ding your pocketbook.
Late-payment penalty. If you owe money on your taxes and do not send full payment with the extension application, the late-payment penalty kicks in - and this can be up to another 25 percent of the tax due. Not quite sure how much you owe? Come up with a "ballpark" figure based on your 2007 taxes, and send as much of that as you can. That way, even if you end up owing more, at least you avoid some of the late-payment penalty.
Interest. In addition to the late-payment penalty, you're going to be charged interest on any balance due (tax owed minus the payment you wisely make with Form 4868) at the Federal Short Term Rate plus 3 percent. The rate changes every three months, and the interest is compounded daily. So get Form 4868 filled in and filed NOW!

Establish a program that strongly encourages - and rewards - referrals.
Most satisfied customers will gladly give a referral without expecting to be compensated.
Because you've helped them, it gives them pleasure to help you. That psychological boost, in itself, is a reward.
But it doesn't hurt to offer something more tangible.
