Do you own a startup biz? If you’ve just ventured into one, you may just found yourself faced with a certain phase close to a business diet. This is wherein you measure everything in order to proportion out your costs and have everything running even with a limited budget. So, if you don’t want to cut on your advertising and marketing campaigns, an economical solution you can use is postcard mailing.
Business Diet Solutions
• As a beginner, you need to maximize every cent that you own in all areas of your business. You have to prioritize in terms of spending.
• No matter how strict the diet seems to be, you should not forget to allot a justifiable amount in your marketing schemes. If you think that it will cost too much to advertise, you have to think again. It all this really depends on the medium and the print services you need to pull it all off.
• Yes, you can still make your presence known through the next best thing - the print medium. Postcards are your direct mail marketing medium that you can send out to every home or office. What’s good is that you can directly get your messages out there without waiting for your recipients to open their television sets or computers. Your postcards can get easily read in an instant.
The Print Medium
• Going back to getting economical print solutions, the idea here is to find the right company that can give you quality and affordability rolled into one. Look at the samples of their works and see if their style fits what you have in mind.
• Many businesses use not only postcard printing but mailing as well to promote their services. Postcard mailing allows you to remove any unwanted shipping costs so your printer sends out these postcards for you.
• Moreover, if you want to maximize each postcard and gain a favorable response, mailing services can also be coupled with list services. In this manner, you can rely on a list to help you make more sales. This list constitutes a select number of people and addresses who frequently buy or afford the products or services that you also offer.
• Through list services, you can focus more on the right market who would truly be more interested in availing your offers and buying your products.
Now that you have the cards and the list that you will be sending those to, you have to think of ways for your cards to shine. Here are some tips to avoid the same mistake that those cards that went straight on the junk have made.
• The design should be catchy. It should really be something interesting that people will resist throwing them the instant they got it.
• Persuasion is always the key. Indicate the details of your promotions concise and clear. Also, always word it in a manner that your clients would easily understand and compel them to buy.
• Add some valuable information, a tip or two, to add to your card’s appeal. If the recipient will see that they will have use for it in the future, then they will really think hard before throwing it out.
Through these ideas on postcard mailing and printing, you’ll never have to worry about advertising costs again.

H1B notice received but had break in employment.
By: princeofdocs | 03-11-2008
I actually read a lot of your blogs. You have done wonderful work. Though there was some questions which I had and I was hoping if you can shed some light in. To explain my situation 1) My medical fellowship job terminated 09/04/08 while my H1B status was till 09/30/08 2) The current employer had applied for the extension/ change of status, and the notice was sent out by USCIS 09/03/08 for a start date from 10/01/08 (by the same employer only - the termination was a mistake due to loss of paperwork due to flooding in the office and they were changing me from traineee to faculty, I was supposed to be on leave without pay from 09/04/08 - 10/01/08) 3) Hurricane came and everything closed down. Now on 10/30/08 our international office is saying that since I was terminated (by mistake though) 09/04/08 and had a break in employment, I have to leave the country and I can not start work till the actual H1B Approval comes Qs 1) Can I just resume work since the H1B portability timing is good. I applied before the termination and I have received the notice. 2) Do I have to wait for the H1B approval to come before I can start work and do I have to leave the country 3) Can I get another job and get premium processing done and quickly get myself in the legal status. Thank you for your help.
