			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Among the most highly prized possessions that any college basketball player can hope for is their college basketball jersey. The college basketball jersey represents a feeling of pride and belonging to the team.</p>
<p>But the feeling is not restricted to the team. Jerseys are also prized by fellow students, who show up at college games dressed in the same colors to cheer on their team.</p>
<p>Anyone who loves the game will have a favorite team and player. Wearing their jersey creates a special bond.</p>
<p>Some Like It Hot</p>
<p>Due to the heat of indoor playing conditions, basketball jerseys are made of thin material, mostly of mock mesh, dazzle, tricot mesh or pro mesh materials. Jerseys are always sleeveless because long sleeved jerseys would cause the players to sweat too much, creating not only uncomfortable conditions, but unhealthy ones as well. The jerseys are also worn long and loose with large armholes for ventilation.</p>
<p>The NCAA is very strict about the way basketball jerseys are worn on the court and requires all players to tuck in their jerseys.</p>
<p>Color, Numbers And Styles</p>
<p>The tank top jerseys are worn with shorts, which are long and baggy with stretchable waistbands and drawstrings. Each jersey is embossed with the team logo, player number and team name. Every college team likes to customize its basketball jersey, and comes up with a unique color plan.</p>
<p>There are a number of manufacturers who produce wonders with the jersey designs and styles. Reversible jerseys use contrasting fabric on both the inside and outside surfaces, so that they can be worn either way.</p>
<p>The player&#8217;s number is required to be on both the back and the front of the jersey. The height of these numbers is required to be 8 inches on the back and 6 inches on the front side. The names of the players are printed in 2-inch high letters. Shortly after 9/11, the NCAA began to allow players to wear the American flag on the jerseys using a 4-inch side insert for this purpose.</p>
<p>Collector&#8217;s Items</p>
<p>The demand for replica college jerseys always goes up when the NCAA tournament season begins. There is also a big demand for jerseys worn by the top basketball stars. These replica jerseys, available at several online stores, make a great collector&#8217;s item for the avid basketball fan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you in charge of running an advertising agency? If you are, you are likely always on the lookout for new clients. When it comes to acquiring new clients, it is important that you set your advertising agency apart from all of the rest. To do this, you may want to think about offering services that are known and proven to be successful, like reward programs or incentive programs.<span id="more-1009"></span></p>
<p>When it comes to offering reward programs or incentive programs to your clients, you will find that you benefit just as much are your clients do. For instance, reward programs and incentive programs are a successful advertising sales promotion, as they often catch the eyes of consumers. With that in mind, however, not all advertising agencies offer these types of marketing incentives to their clients. By offering this proven and successful advertising sales promotion service to your clients, you are likely to see an increase in your own customer count as well.</p>
<p>One common mistake that many advertising agencies make, when extending marketing incentives down to their clients, is not providing their clients with enough information. Although marketing incentives are proven successful, they must be handled and implement in the proper matter or else they may just become a waste of time and a waste of money. Your advertising agency and your clients will want to work together to develop the best advertising sales promotion incentive program possible. When doing so, you will want to familiarize yourself with the promotional gifts or incentives that consumers are most in need of.</p>
<p>One of the most common marketing incentives sought after by consumers are those that are focused on travel. It is no secret that the cost of travel has increased over time. While many couples wish to take romantic getaways and many families wish to take family vacations, the cost of doing so is often too high. That is why many consumers jump at the opportunity to receive free travel arrangements or even just travel discounts.</p>
<p>Another one of the many reasons why free travel arrangements and travel discounts are one of the most popular marketing incentives around is because of all of the formats in which they come in. For instance, it is common to find an advertising sales promotion that involves free or discounted overnight accommodations. These travel arrangements can be for a traditional hotel or a vacation resort, as well as one that is concerned an all-inclusive resort!</p>
<p>Airline certificates or discounts are also highly sought after by consumers. In fact, they are so common that a good percentage of consumers now rely on these marketing incentives to travel. In addition to free airline reservations or airline discounts, it is also common to find promotional gifts which are centered on cruises.</p>
<p>Although advertising sales promotions that are focused on travel are highly sought after by consumers, there is another option. You can also offer your clients promotional gifts that include traditional merchandise. When taking this advertising sales promotion approach, you may want to focus on popular items, like media items, such as computers or digital cameras. Advertising sales promotions that focus on items that will turn heads are the best.</p>
<p>When determining which advertising sales promotion your clients can benefit the most from, it is important to examine a number of factors. For instance, what is the average sale of your client? If your client is selling a &#8220;big ticket,&#8221; item, like a new car, a free or a discounted cruise certificate may be worth the cost. When determining which type of marketing incentives should be offered, it is important to remember that the goal of you and your clients is to make money, not lose it.</p>
<p>If your decision to extend reward or incentive programs down to your advertising agency clients is a recent one, you may be looking for a marketing incentive company, also commonly referred to as a reward incentive company, to do business with. In your search for one, you will likely come across a number of companies, but none as well-known and as trusted as the Infinity Incentive Group.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re a high-level arbitrageur or any other sort of PPC mastermind, you&#8217;re likely doing well over $1,000 a month in pay-per-click advertising and floating the charges on one or more credit cards-which means that if you&#8217;re not using some sort of rewards card, you&#8217;re simply letting the credit card companies keep thousands of dollars every year that should be going into your pocket.<span id="more-943"></span></p>
<p>The real problem is that trying to sort through the myriad rewards cards out there to find the best one for PPC can be a nightmare, primarily because of the two secrets the credit card companies do their best to keep hidden.</p>
<p>The Dirty Little Secrets of Rewards Cards</p>
<p>Look hard enough, and you&#8217;ll find almost as many different rewards programs and combinations as there are rewards cards-everything from cash back credit cards that pay up to 5%, to the GM credit card and Subaru credit card that allow you to earn money toward the purchase of a new car. Read the fine print closely enough, though, and you&#8217;ll uncover the secrets they don&#8217;t want you to know.</p>
<p>Dirty Little Secret #1</p>
<p>The vast majority of rewards cards just give you the equivalent of 1% cash back. It may be in the form of Starbuck&#8217;s coffee, merchandise from Amazon.com, or any number of other retail rewards, but it&#8217;s basically just a 1% refund-or even less. Not only would cash be better (because you can spend it in more places), but you&#8217;ll definitely use it, unlike some of the merchandise rewards you might accumulate.</p>
<p>Dirty Little Secret #2</p>
<p>Virtually all rewards cards offering more than 1% back have a tiny cap on the rewards that makes them worthless for someone who charges $1,000 or more every month. Look at the fine print on any of them, and you&#8217;ll see what we mean. The GM card, for example, limits the amount you can apply toward a new vehicle to just $1,000 in most cases. It&#8217;s not like you can earn enough to actually get a new car for free-although that&#8217;s definitely the impression that they want you to have.</p>
<p>The Few Rewards Cards That Stand Out</p>
<p>Despite the high number of cards offering measly rewards, there are a handful of rewards cards that do stand head and shoulders above the rest for people doing a lot of PPC spending. We would highly recommend any of these, based on what types of rewards you prefer, and we think you&#8217;ll find them superior to the card(s) you&#8217;re using now when you compare the terms side by side.</p>
<p>Get the Most Cash Back</p>
<p>The most obvious reward is pure cash back, and for this we recommend the Blue Cash from American Express. Most cash-back cards offer a flat 1% up to some low maximum, but this card gives you cash back at a tiered level.</p>
<p>For the first $6,500 you spend with the card each year, you earn 0.5% cash back-lower than most other cash-back cards-but after that, you start earning 1.5% back. That&#8217;s obviously a much better setup for people like you who spend significant amounts on online advertising every year.</p>
<p>Here are some examples of how that would play out:</p>
<p>Monthly SpendingAnnual Earnings &#8211; Other 1% CardsAnnual Earnings &#8211; Blue Cash</p>
<p>$1,000$120$115<br />
$10,000$1,200$1,735<br />
$100,000$12,000$17,935<br />
Earn Airline Miles</p>
<p>Credit cards offering airline miles have become very popular over the years, but, as Capital One has so effectively communicated with their commercials, the limitations and restrictions can be significant. When taking a trip, most people want to be able to take the most affordable flight that fits their schedule, but with the blackout dates and single-airline restrictions that come with most airline rewards cards that isn&#8217;t possible.</p>
<p>The No Hassle Miles Visa Signature card from Capital One eliminates that problem, with points that can be applied to any airline on any date. And not only are restrictions no longer a problem, the No Hassle Miles card pays double what most other airline miles cards do-2 points for every dollar spent, or roughly 2% back. (The one downside is a $39 annual fee, but the rewards from the first $2,000 you spend will cover that.)</p>
<p>Here are some examples of how much you could earn with the No Hassle Miles card:</p>
<p>Monthly SpendingAnnual Earnings ? Other CardsAnnual Earnings ? Capital One</p>
<p>$1,00012,000 Mi. ($120)24,000 Mi. ($240 &#8211; $39 = $201)<br />
$10,000120,000 Mi. ($1,200)240,000 Mi. ($2,400 &#8211; $39 = $2,361)<br />
$100,0001,200,000 Mi. ($12,000)2,400,000 Mi ($24,000 &#8211; $39 = $23,961)</p>
<p>Get the Best Travel Rewards</p>
<p>Airline cards do offer great rewards for those who travel a lot, but for those who only take the occasional trip, a better option may be a hotel rewards card.</p>
<p>For this we recommend the Hilton HHonors Platinum Card. It provides 3 points for every dollar spent-equivalent to about 3% cash back on all purchases you make. On top of that, they also offer 10,000 bonus points after your first purchase and an additional 15,000 bonus points if you spend $5,000 in the first five months-which shouldn&#8217;t be a problem for you.</p>
<p>Monthly SpendingFirst Year EarningsAnnual Earnings</p>
<p>$1,00061,000 points (about $610)36,000 points (about $360)<br />
$10,000385,000 points (about $3,850)360,000 points (about $3,600)<br />
$100,0003,625,000 points (about $36,250)3,600,000 points (about $36,000)</p>
<p>Strategies for Getting Around Credit Limits</p>
<p>If none of these cards appeal to you, or if you simply prefer to keep using the one you&#8217;re using right now, there are strategies that can help you get a higher cap on your rewards:</p>
<p>1. Call your credit card company and ask them to raise your limit. If you&#8217;re spending thousands of dollars a month and have kept current on your payments, you&#8217;ll probably have success here.</p>
<p>2. Spread your charges over multiple credit cards to maximize your benefits from each one.</p>
<p>3. Pay off your credit card mid-month either by mail, by phone or online.</p>
<p>Are You Wasting Money on PPC?</p>
<p>So now that you know what the credit card companies don&#8217;t want you to know, are you maximizing your rewards, or are you throwing money away that you could be putting into your own pocket? Take some time to look at the terms of the cards you&#8217;re using to see how they compare to these, and don&#8217;t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the world of today, you will be hard pressed to find someone to argue that advertising is ineffective.  The evidence is all around.  We are bombarded with advertisements telling us how we need to have each and every product.  Have you ever stopped and wondered why?  The answer of course is because it works.  Multinationals don&#8217;t spend millions every year to lose money, on the contrary big companies spend money because their Harvard MBA accountants tell them that they end up way ahead.  The truth is that if you are not advertising you and your business are probably missing out.  <span id="more-934"></span><br />
At this point a number of people are probably thinking one of two things: I can&#8217;t afford to advertise for a short time and have only a few people see my ad, or they feel energized and want to take the big step and invest.  The truth is you don&#8217;t need to spend a prodigious fortune to have an effective advertising campaign.  As a t-shirt screen printer, I have seen people spend modest amounts of money on a creative t-shirt that they then use as the core of their campaign.  This seems like a naïve attempt at advertising, but the truth is that many of my customers have told me that it is their most effective form.  Think about it.  Most advertisements are around for a month tops.  T-shirts last for at least a few years.  The people that wear them walk around and expose your business to a myriad of people every time it is worn.  This translates into long term, inexpensive, effective advertising for your business.<br />
This type of personalized advertising&#8217;s effectiveness can best be seen when compared to some of the more traditional forms.  Phone books for example are being used less and less as the internet continues to establish itself evermore resolutely in both business and personal lives.  Search engines are a great way to go but require time and money, and lots of both.  To make it high on the sponsored links could mean paying dollars per click.  The natural listings require you to pour money and time into development.  I can tell you right now that anyone who is a number one on Google dedicated much more time and money than anyone who ever bought t-shirts did.  Television, radio, and newspaper can get you companies name out there, but they can be very expensive, short lived, and even to an extent ineffective.  If your costumers don&#8217;t or hear the ads then you have wasted a hefty sum of money.<br />
T-shits on the other hand are inexpensive.  They don&#8217;t require the hassle and time that many other forms of advertising do.  Plus they have far great longevity and will walk themselves right to potential customers.  An effective t-shirt campaign can take nothing more than a good design, something at least my company helps with for free, and giving them away to your friends, customers, or even strangers.  From personal experience I have seen the effectiveness of this time and time again.  I have the advantage of seeing these t-shirts go from idea to ad, and much to my chagrin, I often get the enjoyment of seeing people I have never met wear them.  I see the advertisements around, so I know that they are effective at getting seen.<br />
Your business could benefit greatly from advertising.  Perhaps you have already considered expanding your business or your business&#8217;s advertising, or perhaps this essay has given you some motivation.  In either case I urge you to consider using custom printed t-shirts in your next ad campaign.</p>
