Do you have your own small business?

I do have a small chocolate business. We offer from cakes, chocolate truffles, cookies, to drinks. The problem is that we don’t know where to promote the business, like where to send the brochures, what is the right target market, where the best market area is, and so on. What we need is an accurate and reliable marketing list.

Actually, there are two types of marketing list: business marketing lists and consumer marketing lists. If we target corporate market, like we usually do on special occasions like for Christmas gift baskets, Valentine gift baskets, and any other gift baskets, then we’ll need those business marketing lists. But, I think we’ll need more to focus on consumer market, considering our business scale. Thus, what we need is the consumer marketing lists.

What we just know is that actually list brokers out there. We usually just collect and compile our marketing list randomly, according to our shop area, our relatives’ area, and so on. The data is not so reliable, since we don’t have the resources and expertise in data collection. With marketing lists from the list brokers, I hope that we can get the more reliable and focus market for effective marketing and promotion. Wish us luck!

Wedding is one of the most special occasions in one’s life; it is like a gate to something as special as marriage that hopefully will last a lifetime. Thus, whether this wedding is for yourself, for your best friends, or your family, a careful wedding planning is a must.

There are several things that cannot be forgotten but not necessarily in this order. First is of course the wedding dress for the bride and tuxedo for the groom. If you want perfect custom wedding dress and tuxedo, you’ll then need to start the procedures several months before the wedding day, from choosing the designers to fitting. The next one is to determine where to have the wedding, whether at certain wedding reception venue or at the church, or just at home. Remember that booking a reception venue for certain desired date can be difficult.

Then you need to remember to determine the theme of the wedding is, that in turn will also determine the decoration, florist, wedding invitation, and even the wedding cake. Don’t forget to fix some experienced wedding photographer to document the memorable moments. Last but not least is the catering; most guests will give appreciation to a reception based on the food. No joking here!

Those are a lot of works. So, if you can go online and find certain services that can provide directories on all about wedding planning, then that will certainly make your life easier, and will give you more time to think about any other important things, like the honeymoon. J
