S-M-A-R-T

S is for Spesific. You have to know spesificly the detail of your marketing. If you make a plan go to the deepest detail out of it. How or when you are going to execute it. This is why important to keep record to all your files and plans. Have a backup plan if the original plan is not working.

M is for Measurable. You have to set a measurable number of target. The marketing target has to be not an absurd number. It must be real number, so you can measure the success of your campaign.

A is for achievable. Don’t ever make a not impossible number. The target number must be an achievable number. But don’t be stubborn too. Whenever you miss the target make a quick evaluation, make the number bigger or smaller.

R is for Result Oriented. Not the process but the result, this is important too. Many people set their target to the process and not the result. The result expected is supposed to be number.

T is for Time Limit. Set a time limit to your target. One month, one year, one day, or whatever time length you feel apropriate.

How do you achieve such targets? Promotional products, is one detailed item you could have. The right promotional products could somehow lift the sales. My business offer corporate gifts for their customers. In indonesia some of popular products are T-Shirts, Umbrellas, key chain, jackets, helmets, stickers and many more.

Putting some money on promotional items is not a waste, considering advertising is a very common method of promoting your business.

Knowledge is defined (Oxford English Dictionary) variously as expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject, what is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information or awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation. Philosophical debates in general start with Plato’s formulation of knowledge as “justified true belief”. There is however no single agreed definition of knowledge presently, nor any prospect of one, and there remain numerous competing theories.

We learn from from ancient history that ancient people have great knowledge and wisdom. From Socrates and Plato to modern philosopher like Descartes. We honor them for the knowledge they posess and the wisdom they share to us.

There are many ways to improve our knowledge. We can go to school or campus, or we can surf on the internet, or anything. As a blogger, to keep improving knowledge is essential. That is why to join Blog Forums would certainly helpful.

Many blog forums offer great tips, solutions, problem solving, yet so many great features, like freebies, or even rewards. One is thoughts.com. Upload photos, videos, podcasts, chat in the community forums and bookmark the latest news. Thoughts.com allows you to decide for each blog post if you want it to be public, private, or only viewable by your friends and family. Free unlimited bandwidth.

Isn’t that great? I my self join some blog forums and some social bookmark and it really helps. But, don’t forget traditional methods like reading books or magazines cause the help too. Many great bloggers made their success cause they have great knowledge and lots to share with other people.

You know, we used to have those kind of double decker bus here on Surabaya, Indonesia. Wondering around the street of Tunjungan, we drive through the famous building tunnel of tunjungan, wonder if somehow the upper deck of the bus will hit the tunnel.

An old joke say that we have no more double decker bus because nobody wants to get on the upper decker. Why people not want to sit on the upper deck? Because the upper decker has no driver :D.

The bus picture above is a double decker bus used by the New York City Tours. New york is one the largest city in the world, many big office movies are made with the New York set. You remember Kingkong, Godzilla, Spiderman, The Day After Tomorrow, Independence Day, I am Legend? Those are just a few.

For most people, New York represents the USA. I often watch on my google earth to the density of this magnificent city. Never been there, but surely comes first on the list when I get the chance. There are some remarkable landmark on New York. The statue of Liberty, creation of Edward Laboulaye, again from the movie National Treasure. The Rockerfeller Building, The Empire State Building, the former World Trade Center, the Madison Square Garden, Manhattan Bridge, the Grand Central Station, whew, so many things, so many option there in New York.

So, it must be exciting to travel the city with a double decker, making camera shots, some flirts, :D.
