| On Travel Agencies and Advertising |
| Monday, September 08, 2008 |
One of my online friends, Mai, would always advertise travel packages that her friend (?) offers in her travel tours business. I am a stalker of her vacation packages actually. I am enticed with the promo rates and inclusion of the different packages being offered. I guess promo rates, pictures of destination and inclusion of travel packages really create a huge impact on Travel Advertising. And Conrad Advertising has a lot of stuff to offer about advertising. Do you have something that you want to sell? How about an opportunity that you want to share with the rest of the world? If so, there are many ways that you can get your point across. But before you can persuade people to buy from you or join what you are offering, you need to consider how you are going to advertise. There are quite a few methods for doing this, and all of them offer benefits as well as drawbacks. One of the first things that you will want to consider is what free advertising has to offer. As you can imagine, there are quite a few benefits that will be offered to you if you decide to rely on free advertising. First off, the major benefit of free advertising is pretty easy to understand. With free advertising you never have to pay a dime to get what you are offering in front of a large audience. For many people, the fact that they do not have to spend money is reason enough to look into free advertising. And this is where the power of blogging works. Hubby and I are on the process of cooking a lucrative activity and you'll know about it real soon :)  Labels: vacation |

As I have posted before, I am now into selling some PX items (good thing since I am going to be on a 2-month maternity leave). I started the business with few team members who purchased Victoria's secret and Old Navy items. Now my market seems to be growing as I have just established my online store through the multiply account.
Yesterday, hubby sent me pictures of the goods he received, which I purchased about a week ago. Actually madami pang kulang. Wala pa yung bulk orders from Victoria's Secret and Old Navy. Few perfumes have not yet arrived din. Pero seeing the items I have ordered arrived, mejo nakakatuwa. I know na magiging busy-busyhan ako in my entire maternity leave since aside from taking care of Terrence, I'll do some paid posts pa rin from time to time.
Yesterday, bro texted me asking how much does a 100 ml Bulgari BLV for men costs. I told him it's for P2,200. He was surprised to know that since malls (Trinoma ,SM department stores and other malls) sell the same item for a whoOooping P4,000++ . Victoria's Secret Products (lotions and mist) are being sold for P600+ each while I sell it for only P450 (may discount pa if bought in 3). A lot of my friends are asking why my merchandise are being sold cheaper than malls and other multiply sellers, I say it upfront that I do not impose 100% mark. Only 25%. Intsik eh. Konti tubo, dami benta. LOL

| Power of Advertising |
|
I have seen quite a number of sellers not just in ebay but also in multiply that advertises directly. I am wondering how Direct Response Advertising can really help a business.
The way advertising works is not so transparent after all. Advertising does have some sort of hidden power which enables it to influence us without our realising it. The Hidden Power of Advertising presents a radical new challenge to traditional thinking about the way consumers interact with and process brand communication. Advertising can be found anywhere around us wheather we realize or not.And the example is what we saw in television everyday during watching television,in the radio,newspaper,notice board and others. It can also be found in the internet, just like www.accordgroup.co.uk. In virtual world especially when we say about internet it is also not exceptional from called as part of advertising.Today I want to focus on internet advertising. First of all,may I ask you one question?Are you internet businessman or business woman?If you are them let me tell you about the power of advertising.Internet advertising or marketing play a main role in ensuring your internet business is successful.True or not?The answer is absolutely correct.1000% true.I repeat again that internet marketing is play a main role in ensuring your internet business is successful.

| Time-Out: Victoria's Secret on Sale |
| Thursday, September 04, 2008 |
I'll be gone for a while but I'm gonna update all my blogs (READ: non paid posts) of what is happening to me. I will get ample time by then to make chismis of what is happening in my buhay nanay life. I decided to put since hubby is sending his quarterly package for us and Baby Terrence and I got nothing to do during my 2-month maternity leave... Though I know that taking care of Baby T would consume much of my time, I still want to delve into something lucrative. Ayokong naka tengga ng matagal eh. So I hope you can help me out on this one.
I am selling Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body Works, Old Navy and some branded perfumes. I have just opened my multiply store. I was actually surprised to see that some of those multiply sellers impose mark up on some of their products as much as 100% or. What I mean is that when a product can be purchased in a US store by P2,000, ibebenta ng P4,000. Katarantaduhan naman di ba? I mean of course, there will be state taxes and shipping fee kaso sobrang OA naman yata kung ganun. Oh well, siguro kasi bread and butter talaga nila ung pagbebenta ng PX goods and with the time they are dedicating sa ganung business, talagang dapat lang na malaki din ang mark up..anyhoo, here are some of the items that I sell po in my multiply account.
