Creating Creative Bookmarks Through Discount Printing

May 3, 2010 /

Using discount printing services is not just about saving money. It also allows you to unleash your creative side in ways you never considered before. For example, did you know that you can make something as simple as bookmarks seem like much more than a bookmark?

Here are a few creative ways you can put a bookmark to good use:

Business Bookmarks –

A bookmark can serve as a cost-effective mini flyer promoting your business. They are an effective marketing tool that offers a certain personal touch a postcard or flyer can’t create. A creatively designed bookmark featuring your company logo and related offers or promotions is likely to draw a customer’s attention and keep it squarely fixed on your business.

Souvenir Bookmarks –

If you run a hotel, guesthouse, bed & breakfast or villa, a bookmark presents customers with a travel souvenir they can pass onto friends and relatives. You can incorporate an image of their travel destination as a way to remind them of how great their trip was and as a means of drawing others to come share in that experience.

Community Bookmarks –

Need to find a new way to promote your local church or school? A creative bookmark can definitely drive up interest. If you are teacher, perhaps you can use a specially made bookmark as a reward for winning a competition or doing well on a test. If you are a minster or pastor, maybe a bookmark decked out with a Bible verse reinforces the message of your weekly sermon.

Event Bookmarks –

A bookmark can serve as a creative option to a standard ticket for a play or a concert. Many people save ticket stubs for their scrapbook anyway. Giving them a bookmark adds a little extra flair to such a keepsake.

Fashion Dresses For Sexy Models

March 23, 2010 /

March is almost halfway in, and the winter, both financial and seasonal, is receding at a fast pace. This spring, get ready for the return of a number of old trends that have caught on again. Short pants, boy shorts and tap pants are going to rule the legs of sexy models this spring. Hemlines are going north so quick its dazzling. Knee high and over the knee socks are becoming trendy. One of the more amazing of fashionable dresses includes the warrior dresses. Leather tunics, metal plating and other riffraff from tribal and military cultures are becoming the dress of the confident woman this year. Wear one of these Amazon dresses if you are trying to look like a sexy model.

Versace and Lanvin have both come out with new ways to show more legs without going for the micro-mini. A long dress with a very high split that almost touches your high hips is the trendy wear for those who have long, beautiful legs. I find this much sexier than a micro mini which leaves little to imagination.

Imagination is the key. If that was not so, why would any sexy model bother to wear clothes at all? Think about the trend this spring of sheer fabric and see through dress. They show off some, but hide some too – which makes men wonder about what might be beneath the dress. If everything were easily visible, much of the charm would have been lost. Designers seem to have caught on to this truth this spring. The dresses are coming out with more and novel methods of revealing a little and hiding a lot. If you are wanting to look sexy this year, that’s the method to adopt.

From Riches to Rags

March 20, 2010 /

Not every celebrity is like Sarah Michelle Gellar, the Buffy the Vampire slayer girl, who still rides a bike in New York and takes used bags to retail stores to get discounts. No, there are some like Nicholas Cage, who shakes and trembles his way into large boutique shops and real estate agencies and never has an idea of what and how much he is about to spend in the next 2 minutes. That’s crazy, really; even celebrities don’t have limitless amounts of money. Everybody, no matter who they are, should not be squandering away ridiculous amounts hard earned money.

Most people spend a lot on credit cards. It’s a psychological thing; credit cards give you the illusion that you have more money to spend than you have actually earned. They give you the illusion that you actually have $5000 to spend, when you are doing nothing but taking a loan –at a high rate of interest- to buy something you don’t need in the first place.

One good way to stop doing this is to use prepaid credit cards. What you do here is, you put in an amount of money into the card at the beginning of a month, say, and spend that money – and only that money – when you use the card. You cannot cross that red line and go into shaky credit zone. You stick to whatever you can afford to put in, and this system naturally puts in a limit to how much you can spend. What this does is basically let you use a card instead of bulky cash, but it puts a limit to your spending too. It’s a great way to budget your life.

Pet Celebrities

March 14, 2010 /

Does your dog drool over close ups of Lassie? Or perhaps your cat has a thing about Morris? Their lack of going gaga over famous animals may be a part of animal behavior that humans would do well to imitate. Of course, there are lots of famous animals and there are also famous pets. Famous people have pets and that makes their pet famous, right? After all, Paris Hilton’s Chihuahua, Tinkerbell, gets her photo in lots of fashionable tabloids. Whether they earned their fame by starring in a full-length motion picture (remember Benji? and Babe, the pig?), or whether they are famous for who owns them, these pets are still just pets. They require the same basic care as your dog or cat.

Of course, I am sure Ms. Hilton can afford to have someone else take care of her dog for her, and I know that famous animal actors have handlers whose lives are devoted to their needs because these animals pay their salaries. Still, dogs and cats all have to eat, they have to be bathed and groomed and get their shots. They are all subject to skin irritations and pest infestations. So, they all need the same basic care.

Still, I can’t imagine Tinkerbell eating dog food from a bag, can you? And does the Obama’s dog use the same Sentinel® flea spray that I use on my dog? Of course, the presidential pooch probably has a special secret service detail assigned to keep fleas at bay, using lots of sophisticated weapons.

The point is that your pet is famous… at least it is to you. You love it as much as any teenager loves some cute young vampire guy from a movie, and unlike Hollywood pets, yours entertains you every day. So, like the famous pet it truly is, your pet deserves its share of time, pampering and maybe a picture or two to make sure it stays forever in the limelight of your heart.

Spoiling your child like Suri Cruise is a mistake

March 13, 2010 /

Suri Cruise isn’t an average three-year-old because the parents are superstars and very, very rich and she gets to see the world with them. I am sure that her parents love her very much and spoil her like every other parent, but, surely, the following are a little over the top:

-the rumor is that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have spent a total of $3 million on Suri’s wardrobe. This is probably a highly exaggerated figure but even a small proportion of the amount is a staggering amount of money.

-Suri carries an $850 purse. This is pretty extravagant even for a 30-year-old let alone a three-year-old. She has been seen carrying a mini version of the Salvatore Ferragamo Sofia Handbag, the adult version of which retails for $1850.

-Suri wears lipstick and high heels.

The question is: Would you spoil your little girl like that, even if you have the money?

It seems to me that as parents we have gone much too far in letting children make decisions they should not be making, doing things that they should not be written and buying them things that are totally unnecessary. If this is seen as a gesture of appeasement, we are surely failing our children as parents. Where are the values that we should inculcate or the sense of responsibility that we should be teaching them? Surely, “easy come, easy go” is not exactly the best way to bring up children to be responsible and caring adults. Emergency cash loans exist to support you in times of need, but many parents avail loans just to feed their children’s fancies and whims.

Consider some more products for children:

-Deluxe oral care kit for babies without teeth, which includes such frills as an angled mirror. Surely, millions and millions of babies manage to grow teeth without a fancy 8 piece kit.

-Fake fur bedding with fleece or satin for babies that wet beds. As if this concept were not outrageous enough, the bedding can only be dry-cleaned.

These products would not be available if the manufacturers did not see a market. Surely, it is about time that some form of sanity returned to the bringing up of children.
