If it doesn't need to be a single object (like computer or stereo) I would suggest a public space.  The organization of an area of the supermarket, or the organization of some other PUBLIC space, which would need to follow the rules.\n\nFor an object?  scissors? I can't think of what I want, but think about new technology developed.  The technology that is geared towards a younger population... how it's designed for them and how it may make it more difficult for an older population to use.  That way it could be both adaptive and maladaptive.  Would provide a good way to structure a paper.  Maybe the PS2... little hand held thing.  I don't know, go walk around Best Buy.  I think that would make a cool paper.  Good luck!

Yeah, without knowing the product, there's not much one can offer for specific wording that will be helpful...  but there are several basic techniques that work for most situations.  I can tell you from experience what has worked best on AND FOR me!  :) .....\n\nFrom the start, be upbeat and enthusiastic about your company/product/service.  You can sell the hell outta anything you believe in.  If you don't believe in it, you won't have the same energy about it and neither will your customer.\n\nTalk about the wonders, versatility, features, convenience, usefulness, and neat little details of your product: works without fail!  saves time/work/money!  fits anywhere!  has it's own storage compartment!  comes in 6 popular colors!  comes with this or that little freebie!  performs 12 different household tasks and simultaneously makes the morning coffee too! LOL\n\nMake upbeat, polite conversation with them, and listen for any clues to ways that your product/service would fit into their life - kids, work, hobbies, busy life, student, new home owner, space concerns, etc.  If while you're chatting, they say anything that sounds like they are interested, like "Really?  Hmm, that sounds handy/cool/nice/useful/perfect..." or something else that sounds like you've got their attention, follow that line of conversation.\n\nIf they sound positive, agree with whatever they're saying!  If they have negative feedback, perhaps even with your company/product/service, say something to empathize, like "Wow, I'm sorry that happened..." then lead into suggestions of how you/your company/your product will serve to overcome that situation.\n\nWhen it sounds like you're convincing them that you're product/service is something they *might* want, close the sale by mentioning any "buy now" kinda benefits: sale going on, payment plan, deferred payments/interest, money-back guarantee, etc...\n\nSMILE while you're talking to them!  Studies show that your entire demeanor and tone change if you're not smiling, and WILL affect the customer's response to you.\n\nGood luck, and happy selling!  :)

Here are some ideas:\n\n1. Develop strategic partnerships with websites where your target audience goes. If you have a software for small businesses, then you may want to approach small business portals or online magazines targeting small businesses and offer a partnership deal with them. You have to address the question - what is it for me? Give potential partners a hefty commission for every sale (or if you are generous, lead) that they send your way. But monitor how the partner is marketing your product - ask them if they can include a mention of your software in their newsletters, give them banners (or leaderboards or boxes or other creatives) that they can run in their websites, give them ad sales copy that they can use, and check if they are actually doing anything to market your product.\n\n2. Create an affiliate program. Expand the strategic partnership route even further and develop your own affiliate program. There may be other websites out there that would be willing to sell your software for you in exchange for a percentage of sales. However, you would need infrastructure, and a person who could monitor the affiliate program.\n\n3. Make sure your product is listed in software review and download sites such as CNET Download.com, Tucows.com and similar websites. They are the place people go to when they need a software, and you need to be there.\n\n4. Get tech magazines (print and online) to review your software. If you get good reviews and the review is featured/published, that is a great source of free publicity for your business. \n\n5. Offer a free trial version of your software. Those who download a free trial version are more likely to buy. \n\n6. Advertise where your target market gathers. You need to be visible where your buyers are. Whether buying sponsored text links or banner advertising, measure your ROI carefully. \n\n7. Pay per click search advertising. As always, carefully track your keywords and your ROI.\n\n8. Write articles. Articles can help boost your traffic, increase your pagerank, establish yourself as an authority in the field, and get more sites to link to you. It may not be a direct way to get sales, but it can help in the long run\n\n9. Press release. While some press release services cost $650 to use, some are less than $100 and others are even free. Everytime you release a new version, land a partnership deal or something good is happening in your business, write a press release and send it around.\n\n10. Improve your conversion Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article "10 Ways to Convert Visitors to Buyers" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/072005/conversion.htm  for tips on how to improve your conversion rates

As a web design company, more than other marketing campaigns, the best way to get new clients is to have an impressive portfolio to show them. Perhaps you can work for a discounted fee or even pro bono for some friends or close associates, just to have a portfolio of work to show.\n\nWhat I see lacking in your list are press releases. Press releases have different uses: they can alert traditional media of your new business (and hopefully get talked about by the media -- which means you have to have a new spin or how different are you from the other web design firms). Press releases are also among the EASIEST way to get one way inbound links, and thereby helping you rank in the search engines. PRWeb http://www.prweb.com can send your release and get it through Yahoo and Google News for minimum of $80\n\nThe calendar, bumper stickers, laptop bags -- I'm not sure those are the most effective means of getting clients to your business especially considering that you have a tight budget.\n\nOne important marketing tool you are forgetting is networking. Networking allows you to meet people, other business people who may be interested to rework their websites or create websites. Join organizations and business associations in your area -- and budget for membership fees, if any. Talk about your business to them, and they may even refer you to other people who needs your services. Consider joining BNI http://www.bni.com/ (Business Network Int'l.) which is a "business and professional networking organization that offers members the opportunity to share ideas, contacts and most importantly, referrals." Chambers of commerce can also be a good source of referrals.\n\nI would focus more on local marketing, but carefully carefully track your ROI. Yahoo Yellow pages is pricey - so check if it is actually bringing you traffic and customers.\n\nEmail marketing where you purchase an email for $0.25 cents is not a good idea. You will basically be spamming people, buying email lists yet these people may not have agreed or wanted to receive YOUR email. Be careful in using this approach as the last thing you want your business to be called is a spammer.\n\nI know that you are just starting, but web designers often find greater success if they offer services beyond web designing. Diversify your services to include copywriting, search engine optimization, handling pay per clicks, or even just site maintenance.

Do you have a website, if not you should look into getting on and outting photos of your decoration online? A catalog to send to anyone that inquires after your work? what methods have you been using for marketing your business?  I am recommending a marketing book by Shel Horowitz as well as some articles I believe will be of help.  Another thing I suggest is to visit SCORE.org.  There you can search for a score counselor that has experience in the field of Decor and set up an appointment at your local chapter or simply communicate via email.  It is a free service as it's run by retired executives and business owners.\n\nGood luck

You have to make a blueprint for it. Tell how you think it will work and what it would do. You got to have something on paper though. Find a company who makes similiar products and pitch it to them.

Make a list of companies that may be interested to reach your audience and advertises to similar websites.\n\nGet their contact person (you can try sending an email first, without sounding spammy). Submit your proposal -- e.g. instead of spending X amount of dollars advertising, you can reach X number of users by simply donating prizes.\n\nIn our case for example given that we are an online publisher for home business entrepreneurs, we get donations from book publishers who give us their newly published books for free that we give away to our subscribers. One of the big publishers send us regularly 10 copies of each title -- and it's because we are reaching an audience that they want. \n\nSo we had to create a Book Store page that features the new titles that come out and review their books. It's a perfect tit-and-tat arrangement that has worked for several years now, and more publishers are coming on board and giving us books.

You could play off the idea of serving home cooked meals with your marketing. For instance, send out inivitations to a "family meal," "a house warming party," etc. to residents living near the restaurant. You could do 2 for 1, list your specials, personalize it with pics, etc.\n\nSince you're in a small town, advertising in the local paper or college paper, on radio, at any colleges or universities, etc. may also be an option. I moved from a small town (less than 15,000 people) not too long ago & that's how restaurants advertised there.\n\nBasically, just keep in mind what your restaurant's personality is as well as yours. Blend those two & ideas should start flowing.\n\nBest of luck to you!
