<p>Thinking of a way to build teamwork among your employees?  You should consider some leadership training and some classes that are built specifically for businesses and their employees.  These programs are said to bring your employees closer together and will reduce resentment through the ranks of your organization.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
As you determine which programs best fit your needs, you can choose from half day classes, full day classes or even an all out retreat.  If you&#8217;re not sure which is right for your company you should watch your employees during a simple half day class to see how they respond to the investment and how much they improve. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
For the half day and full day programs there are such things as build a bike workshop, rescue bear workshop, guys-n-dolls, create a team culture, dealing with personalities, gumshoe crew, and team fundamentals.  These all are very creative ways to get your employees to work together as a team, and to have fun while doing so.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
For two day programs you can choose from high precision teams, and team selling workshops that will be a bit more intense than the other classes.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Retreats are even more extensive. A few common themes include cowboy, colonial, and Yankee settings that draw on different kinds of history and culture. In addition to working on team building, the retreats are always designed to help people understand each other better, have a good time and problem solve. Exercises, events, and tasks all help unite team members as they spend time together and learn more about their similarities. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Outside team building activities have proved so effective that everyone from colleges, sports teams and businesses have started taking advantage of these programs. If you have the time, you might even be able to organize a few team building events yourself and save a little on the costs.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
A team building workshop, no matter what the length, is a great idea to bring your staff closer together.  With this fun time apart from the stress of the office, people will tend to open up more and share about themselves.  This will allow others to see them as a more likeable person then the quiet individual who never talks at work.  In fact you might be surprised about the things you learn about some of your employees at one of these workshops.  So if you are striving to get your employees closer you need consider a retreat of some kind.</p>

<p>Miscommunication happens all the time. It&#8217;s pretty amazing how easy it is to not understand each other. Sometimes, it&#8217;s unintentional. Sometimes, it&#8217;s deliberate. Sometimes, misunderstanding is a choice. For business success, avoiding miscommunication and choosing to communicate on purpose is key. Miscommunication costs your company time and money.</p>

<p>Miscommunication happens all the time. When you eliminate personal interaction, it&#8217;s even easier to have miscommunication. For the success of your business and the success of the people you&#8217;re writing the material for, avoiding miscommunication and choosing to communicate on purpose is key. Frustrating customers is not a good way to keep them or get them to be evangelists for your product.</p>

<p>Costa Rica is becoming a popular destination for corporate and incentive travel. With its diverse climate and many ecological interests, it is a country that provides just the right atmosphere for growing and learning both on a personal and a professional level. Read on to discover the top reasons why you should book your next business retreat in Costa Rica.</p>
<p>&#13;You can travel to Costa Rica year round. Plan your retreat when it is most convenient for you and your business instead of trying to plan around a certain travel season. The warm temperate climate makes any time of the year a good time. There are two seasons in Costa Rica. High season runs from December through April, and will mean less rain to interfere with your activities. Even during the rainy season, the rain is sporadic and you should still be able to participate in all the varied activities.</p>
<p>&#13;Costa Rica is a safe environment for professional travel, no need to worry about the personal safety and well being of your employees or members. Many of the stories of crime and danger are fabricated by the press and media and should not deter you from traveling there. Guided transportation is always recommended however simply because road and weather conditions can make travel difficult for those unfamiliar with the area.</p>
<p>&#13;Another highlight of Costa Rica is that it was the very first country to formally abolish military forces. The constitution has forbidden a standing military since 1949. And unlike many of its Central American neighbors, Costa Rica has not had a civil war since.</p>
<p>&#13;There are two international airports serving Costa Rica, Juan Santamaria Airport in San Jose and Liberia Airport in Guanacaste, which both offer direct flights from many major cities around the world. Transportation is provided from the airport to most major hotels and resorts. Flights to Costa Rica are economical and can actually be cheaper in some cases than flights to domestic locations.</p>
<p>&#13;The quality and service of the resorts and hotels is top notch while still very economical. Most resorts have meeting rooms and planning services to help you organize a productive, well run business conference. Other business accommodations include more rustic cabin retreats or you can even book a safari tent retreat!</p>
<p>&#13;Costa Rica has a special status as a business travel destination. Your corporate retreat is considered tax deductible if you are booking as a U.S. company.</p>
<p>&#13;There is a wide range of activities to participate in during off work hours. From simple sport fishing, golfing, surfing and just relaxing on warm sandy beaches to jungle tours, waterfall rappelling, and zip lining, it is all available here year round.</p>
<p>&#13;Costa Rica offers inspiring surroundings for letting all those creative juices flow! The tranquil beauty and luxurious scenery is sure to stimulate plenty of free thinking and renewed energy.</p>
<p>&#13;So, why not make Costa Rica your next corporate travel destination? Excellent accommodations and the warm tropical climate make it the perfect spot for year round business travel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Herding the Fat Cats: A Holistic Approach to Stifling Corporate Greed—And Solving Our Tax Code and Healthcare Problems in the Process!</strong></p>
<p>After a year of bailouts and a barely-breathing economy, many Americans want to know what 2010 will bring. Has corporate America really learned its lesson? Author Blaine Loomer isn’t waiting around to find out. He offers up a holistic solution to ending corruption in America’s big businesses that will also create some much-needed progress in other areas. </p>
<p> <strong> Cincinnati, OH </strong>(December 2009)—When President Obama criticized the “fat cat” bankers early last week, he was echoing the sentiments citizens on both sides of the political fence feel toward Corporate America. No wonder. As we look back over the past 12 months, it’s hard not to be disgusted by The Year of the Bailout. The spectacle of be-suited executives begging for government handouts is truly sickening to the Average Joes and Janes who struggle to pay their bills with their own meager, recession-choked finances. What’s worse is that most of us suspect no lessons were learned—Corporate America’s lousy decision-making isn’t likely to end any time soon.</p>
<p>That’s why Blaine Loomer calls BS on the whole system.</p>
<p>“Just consider the worst of the worst of Corporate America for 2009: AIG,” says Loomer, author of the new book Corporate Bullsh*t: A Survival Guide (Mitchell Publishers Inc., 2009, ISBN: 978-0-9842016-0-0, $29.50). “Its executives spent almost half a million dollars on a fancy retreat after receiving $85 billion in bailout money. That’s so outrageous it’s almost comical.</p>
<p>“The government bailed AIG out to try and protect the economy, but it didn’t address the problems that put AIG in that position in the first place,” he adds. “Too often, the government or some other entity swoops in to clean up the messes corporate fat cats in various industries have made, but nothing is done to prevent these disasters from happening in the first place.”</p>
<p>Despite 2009’s rock-bottom low points, reforming Corporate America is possible, says Loomer. He suggests that our nation take a holistic approach to dealing with the corruption, greed, and poor decision-making that plague many of our companies and industries.</p>
<p>As his book title suggests, Loomer is accustomed to advising people on how to navigate corporate bullsh*t on a personal level. (The book offers solutions to problems ranging from lack of corporate accountability to toxic colleagues to securing promotions and raises.) However, he is also plenty comfortable taking a macroscopic view of the BS.</p>
<p>Below, he offers up a four-part example of how a holistic problem-solving approach can help keep Corporate America in check while also addressing some of the nation’s other pertinent issues—namely, our overly complicated tax system and healthcare reform. </p>
<p><strong>The Problem Part One: Publicly trading corporations are allowed to run amok.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Solution:</strong> “The SEC needs to have more enforcement capability,” says Loomer. “The real problem here is not the current legislation, although it does need to be updated. The real problem is that the proper resources aren’t in place to enforce the existing laws.” </p>
<p>In his book, Loomer proposes that the U.S. staff up the SEC with auditors to be embedded in all public companies. These auditors will attend board meetings and audit company activities as well as investment instruments to make sure these companies are being good corporate citizens. SEC agents will be there to protect the interests of the shareholders, other investors, and employees in an effort to “prevent” greed-driven executives from shooting their own companies in the foot.</p>
<p> “I would also like to see an SEC review board that would analyze new investment instruments for the risk of catastrophic losses,” says Loomer. “Investing is a zero sum game, and if someone is making 500 percent returns, someone else is taking 500 percent losses.” </p>
<p><strong>The Problem Part Two: New SEC staff will require money that isn’t available.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Solution:</strong> “You’re probably thinking, This guy’s crazy. Staffing up the SEC for this task will require thousands of people,” says Loomer. “And you’d be right. But remember, we are approaching all of this with a holistic view. That said, let’s talk for a minute about a flat tax—an option that frequently comes up for debate.” </p>
<p>One concern opponents of a flat tax often bring up is that it will cause a loss of jobs in the IRS and in accounting firms. The last thing anyone wants to do these days is eliminate jobs, but Loomer points out that we have an opportunity here to not only staff up the SEC to enforce greater corporate accountability but to also minimize the cost of managing the tax system. </p>
<p>“Basically, the funds saved through the simplified tax system would be moved over to the SEC where they could be better utilized,” he explains. “The IRS employees, who already have the skill set to monitor financial instruments, should be able to make the transition to the SEC with minimal training.” </p>
<p><strong>The Problem Part Three: Independent accounting firms will suffer. </strong></p>
<p><strong>The Solution:</strong> To talk about what fate would befall the accounting firms in Loomer’s plan, let’s bring in a seemingly unrelated topic: health care reform and the possibility of a public option. Everyone is worried about government health care costs spinning out of control, right? By taking a holistic approach to these problems, the tax accountants displaced by a simplified tax system could go to work in the health care arena. </p>
<p>“After all, who better to monitor the health care system than a group of auditors and accountants?” asks Loomer. “These accounting firms could work on a contract basis to monitor some or all of the health care system.” </p>
<p><strong>The Problem Part Four: Health insurance employees will lose their jobs.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Solution:</strong> Just put these people to work administering the new health care system. </p>
<p>“My answer is: Why does the government want to take on another huge cost center to administer health care when skilled people are already in place?” asks Loomer. “We could contract with the insurance companies for the administrative services that will be necessary when health care is reformed.” </p>
<p>The best part of Loomer’s vision? It could conceivably allow America to solve several of the nation’s most tricky challenges without incurring extra costs or raising taxes.</p>
<p>“This is certainly a bold plan, and I realize that putting it into action will take more than a simple snap of the fingers,” admits Loomer. “But it seems that this kind of holistic approach is much better than trying to solve these problems one at a time, as if they weren’t all interconnected. Remember, we are all paying for the system we have now—the one that has allowed corporate greed and government ineptness to drive our economy into a recession—and we will be paying for the system we have in the future. We might as well make it a better one.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What limo would we recommend for corporate event or party? A corporate event can often be a very serious occasion with very influential and professional people involved. It can often be a place where important business people go to close deals or network with other like minded business people and professionals. It is for these reasons that making a very good first impression and presenting the right image often form the corner stone of an individuals plan before attending such an event. </p>
<p>The style of the particular corporate event or party in question can vary differently in terms of location, type of crowd, entertainment, mood of the crowd and most importantly the purpose of the actual event. Creating the right image whether loud and over stated or quietly understated, professional and simple and getting it right can often mean the difference between make or break. </p>
<p>The full range of vehicles available nationwide, baring the vintage limousine hire cars, would be excellent choices for any such corporate event or party. You would obviously use your own judgement to see which limousine is the right choice for your particular corporate event or party. Your eventual choice would no doubt be based on the style of the event. Some of our cars which could be used for a corporate event or party are the Ferrari Limousine, the Jeep Expedition Limo, the Porsche Cayenne Limo, the Range Rover Limo, the Hummer Limo, the Pink Limo, the Pink Hummer Limo, the Lincoln Millennium Limousine, the BMW X5 Limo, the Audi Limo, the Party Bus Limo, the Fire Engine Limo, the pink Fire Engine Limo and even the Rolls Royce Stretch Limo. </p>
<p>Here are some of our ideas that we would like to share with you for potential limousine rental car hire when combined with corporate event and party combinations.</p>
<p>For the formal business event, the corporate prize giving events and national business awards it may be a good idea to go for something straight forward, professional and sleek, professional but slightly understated. A very good option is the much sought after Lincoln Limousine or the new Audi Q7 Limousine. </p>
<p>If the corporate event or party has a particular focus towards the female of the species and is centred around empowering females then you may wish to consider hiring one of our Pink Lincoln Limousines or even the Pink Hummer Limousines; both of which are very relevant choices. They are bold in their colour, they stand out, and their colour is commonly associated with females. Making a decision to hire a pink limousine like this at such an event will help to create the right bold first impression and even a long lasting one. </p>
<p>Designer fashion corporate events and parties are often high class and glamorous events which are known for courting a lot of media attention, particularly through visual media like television, newspapers and the internet. It is therefore very important, at a corporate event or party such as this to create a great impression by hiring the right limo rental vehicle to suit the occasion. There are a number of limousine hire cars available nationwide which would suit this designer fashion type of corporate event and party down to the ground. These include the Rolls Royce Phantom Stretch Limo and the Pink Lincoln Limousine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Proper public relations and corporate events are more often about making an emotional appeal to your customers rather than addressing product features and benefits.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In many situations, audiences are unable to imagine the advantage of product features and benefits.  For example, if your company wants to promote a 2.0 bluetooth headset supports A2DP, salesmen may mention the product features to your customers.  However, they may be unable to understand the terminology or visualize the benefits salesmen mentioned.  On the contrary, if you organize an art show and use the art show to demonstrate the product features and benefits.  Customers can “see” the benefits as well as enjoy an art show.  Indeed, memory about your product and the benefits can be more long term. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Whatever you are promoting, you need to explain to your audiences on an emotional level how it benefits them or others they care about. Every good product, every good service is, at its heart, a means by which to help people live, work, or play better. <br />&#13;</p>
<p>It is also true for brand building.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Experiential Marketing uses brand relevant experiences to appeal to both the rational and emotional buying triggers of the intended audience. Sometimes, it is also termed as customer experience marketing because the idea is to communicate the essence of the Brand through a personalized experience. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Experiential marketing deals with customer experiences and is quite different from traditional forms of marketing, which focus on functional features and benefits of products.  Consumers’ decisions are much more influenced by emotionally generated feelings than by their rationally derived thought.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>According to <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.luminous-asia.com">Luminous</a>, the idea of experiential marketing reflects a right brain bias because it is about fulfilling consumers’ aspirations to experience comfortable and pleasure feelings and helps consumers’ to feel the benefits through interactive experiences, and creates an emotional desire to purchase.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Let me give you an example of experiential marketing:</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Cathay Pacific organizes an 60th Anniversary Gala Celebration.  Instead of inviting 3000 VIPs to attend a dull celebration ceremony, they invite the VIPs to attend a theatre show with more than 100 performers and 300 crew and staff.  The events enable VIPs to further understand their company and let them understand how much they care of their VIPs by inviting them to attend such a grand celebration without the need to hard sell any messages.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>If you are not a big company, does it mean that you cannot make use of the concept? No!!  You may use your website to host online events, too.  For example, online competition games, live online video show, and etc.  It really depends on your creativity and whether your event can deliver the proper messages to participants.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are familiar with the Tiffany Watches, the Golf Weekend Gataways, the Private Chef dinners among other rewards that Fortune 1000 companies can afford to giveaway to their sales teams, clients and employees.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Now become familiar with the luxury items you can provide your associates and customers on a budget and with the same return on your investment. The BargainPrinting.com team recently participated in the New York Incentive Show, and collected a long list of wonderful ideas that inspired us so that you can implement on any company size that provide the most perceived value and return on the investment for the least cost. up</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>   1. Forget about impersonal gift cards and gift certificates, and start issuing your own personal gift card that can be redeemd on hundreds of stores nationwide. Using the web to purchase giftcards, you will be provided a unique giftcard code that is needed for purchases. Include the code on custom card and give them away. Print your own cards &#8211; a 4 x 6 double sided colorful card would do, include your message, your logo, your pitch, and send it as a reward. This card is cash, and it is certainly not going to be thrown away.<br />&#13;</p>
<p>   2. Create your own mini catalog, and establish a simple points program, to encourage employees to participate in meetings, reward them for exceptional performance and show a high degree of professionalism to prospect associates. Add services from local businesses that might be willing to offer you a discount and add them as rewards for your catalog. A 6 x 6 � 8 page booklet could work miracles. For example, local spas might be only charging you $75 for a $120 facial if taken between Monday-Thursday. Reward an employee with a 9am-4pm workday, followed by an hour of facial. The perceived value will be much higher than the actual cost and the productivity levels of the rewarded employees for the weeks and months to come are priceless.<br />&#13;</p>
<p>   3. Come up with your own �Travel Retreats� concept and prolong the effectiveness of your reward. If for example you cannot afford to reward your sales force with expensive week long, all inclusive trips to Hawaii , you might choose to offer a romantic weekend gateaway. Contact hotels in your area for offers, and present it in a grand way that will be for ever memorable. Send a car for pick up, and orchestrate a romantic picnic instead of an expensive dinner. A picnic basket can be sent to the hotel in advance and the rewarded recipient gets to keep it as a souvenir.<br />&#13;</p>
<p>   4. Offering an experience instead of simply giving a single gift item is always very welcome and more memorable. You can accomplish that with our breaking the bank.With the help of local vendors, you can orchestrate wonderful events such as wine tastings at local wineries, beer tastings in nearby microbreweries, personal shopping experience with local department stores, cooking lessons with a nearby pastry shop or restaurant, etc. Make sure you ask some lifestyle questions and match activities accordingly. Contact local companies with your budget considerations and see who will provide you the most service with the least money. A 4 x 9 rack card questionnaire, might be kept in the office at all times, it will create excitement filling out, before they even receive their reward.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The best of all is that you can do your homework online before contacting the local vendors to negotiate. Once you come up with the ideal program for your company, you can use it over and over again. There is no need to dedicate more of your precious time.</p>
