“They Floss By Night”, “Bite Of The Living Dead” and “Creature From The Plaque Lagoon” are amongst the movie posters created by AdVille Advertising Agency for Dr. Patty Ross and her evening Brentwood dental practice.

Renowned for her innovative work in the fields of cosmetic and restorative dentistry, she also pioneered late-night hours in order to cater to people who work during the day. The artful poster campaign resonates with her clientele - which includes many celebrities and Hollywood power-brokers - who also appreciate the convenience of being able to visit outside of regular daytime hours.

A boutique agency founded by Madison Avenue veteran David Samson and British-born designer Martin Archer, AdVille specializes in offbeat campaigns for those clients who want to create buzz, outflanking their competitors not in terms of sheer dollars, but with market savvy and media innovation.

“We don’t believe in hiding our work behind a lot of fancy ad-speak,” says David Samson. “Our approach is very simple. We put all our creative work, every single ad we’ve ever done, right on our website. So that potential clients know exactly where we’re coming from - and what they’re getting themselves into - the instant they visit us.”

Elaborating on this point, Martin Archer adds that many ad agencies seem to have adopted the same pretentious lingo to describe themselves. “How many times have I seen worn-out phrases like Client-Centric, Cross-Platform, Customer-Focused, Results-Obsessed, Breakthrough-Branding or Out-Of-The-Box-Thinking being tossed about by our competition? I say cut-to-the-chase already. Don’t keep saying what you’re going to do - just show me what you’ve done or shut up!”

AdVille has been actively involved in the advertising arena since 2005 and has successfully developed strong relationships with graphic design, web site development, media sales, market research, consulting and communications organizations. Its extensive client list includes national firms as well as emerging businesses. The agency’s creative perspective is expressed by the watchwords: Love Your Advertising!

Dear Franchisor,

If you need an immediate infusion of sales and results form your franchisees and have no idea how to motivate them, I have some bad news.

You can’t.

Some of your exceptional owners will always outperform the rest. (It’s usually 10-20% of the group). But now you don’t have to settle for 80-90% of your franchisees being average or below because of a lack of individual marketing acumen.

IntriMarketing www.intrimarketing.com is revolutionizing the LSM industry.

Of the franchisors and franchisees that I speak with, most of them operate on a piece meal approach- “improve my direct mail”, “help me get more local hits online”, “handle my yellow page account”, etc. Their underlying marketing problems run much deeper. Writing a check for advertising is the first place they start when the ideas run out.

Spending more money for something that’s not working is like giving a drowning man more water to drink. Until now Franchisors struggled to motivate individual franchisees with regard to Local Store Marketing. When the corporate marketing team offers ideas, the franchisees respond with excuses.

Not anymore.

As a former franchisee, I understood the adversarial relationship that can form between a franchisor and franchisee. My individual problems and aspirations had little to do with the corporate branding strategy and direction of the franchisor. From 2001-2003, I built my local marketing system and my small company got bigger. In 2004, I began to catalog and document my procedures for local store marketing. I sold that franchise in 2006 and began with my current business, IntriMarketing.

The concept is this:

_________________________________________________________________________

From a marketing standpoint, IntriMarketing will ensure that 3 critical steps are taken consistently and that if left to your own devices have a high probability of never being done:

1. We will build a targeted, effective, profitable marketing system specifically for you and your company.

2. We will proceed to implement the marketing tools created, systematically and consistently.

3. We will track all of the tools (that can be tracked) to ensure performance, profitability, and effectiveness, enabling us to replicate the model throughout your network of franchisees with small adjustments for each.

_________________________________________________________________________

The net effect to you is that you end up with an effective marketing system, humming along as you spend your time where you deem necessary. A close analogy is that of your CPA. Most likely you don’t stay up at night working on depreciating inventory or stressing over the pros and cons of the F.I.F.O. method for next year.

You trust that you have selected a competent, skilled CPA and you monitor his or her progress. Their success is evident each quarter and each year. The CPA manages your Financial Function.

So it is with IntriMarketing and your Local Store Marketing Function. As the Local Marketing Director for your individual franchisees, I will report to you via email monthly, via telephone whenever, and onsite each quarter. My primary aim? Your targeted growth and the marketing profitability of your franchisees.

Marketing profitability means that we acquire our ideal prospects and clients in the least expensive ways possible. Creativity trumps spending.

Another point to keep in mind, do not assume that I will be controlling your marketing function. The fact is I will be organizing, researching, investigating, suggesting and managing. This is far different than controlling. My skills and talents lie not in my ability to always provide the right answers. My value to you will be in asking the right questions.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Scott

PS: Summing up my value to you:

· Save you boatloads of Time

· Revenue and profit will go up through use of techniques and targeting ideal clients

· The equity of your business will be increased by having such a marketing system in place

This new project named Game Plan for Life aims to compel a moral revival in America. In these times fraught with hardship both economic and philosophical, the Game Plan for Life Project designed by Joe Gibbs was designed to provide you with the insight to live a moral life, despite all the barriers present. Research was conducted to establish which issues were most important to the average user then scholars were selected to prepare guidance on these issues. One such scholar, Dr. Tony Evans covers the topic of winning the game of life, a struggle which many face, as we try to balance faith, family and work obligations. The Plan for Life is a new outreach in addition to the Weekly Spiritual Game Plan and the Joe Gibbs bible ministry.

Kicked off for being ugly?

Co-founder Peter De Beer, assures me that votes are checked against a users IP address to ensure that no vote rigging takes place. He tells me that of the 12,000 registered sign ups, only 3400 have secured their place on the hottest community site today’s technology has ever seen. Now it might seem harsh that an ugly person could get the boot at the whim of something so superficial. Peter on the other hand calls a step in evolution or ‘natural selection’. Asked if he thinks he is hot enough, he said “If some of the most beautiful people in the world on BecauseImHot.com think I’m hot enough, then yes, I’m damn hot.” I have to admit, its difficult to argue with someone who would probably clone himself if he knew how to, just so that this dull and ugly planet could be as beautiful as him.

WHO: Ken Smith, Historical Artist

WHAT: Ken’s Smith’s Limited Edition Prints At Shelby’s Custom Framing

WHEN: June 2008

WHERE: Shelby’s Custom Framing and the Turning leaf Gallery

Leonardtown, Maryland. Their eyes say it all - frustration, fear, victory, contemplation; unwavering courage in the face of enemy fire. Ken Smith’s historical art preserves the legacy of those who fought for their beliefs. His prints feature the remarkable moments of history, those that may have passed unnoticed but changed the lives of many. These can now be seen at Shelby’s Custom Framing and the Turning Leaf Gallery in Leonardtown, Maryland.

Smith is locally known for his poster LCVP Blues, which was commissioned by the Calvert Marine Museum’s Cradle of Invasion event in Solomons, Maryland in 2004. In this, three young sailors prepare for going over seas during WWII at the Solomons Amphibious Training Base. His other WWII prints show different sides of this war. Included are the US Army’s 29th Division’s drive on St. Lo, the British First Airborne defense of Primosole Bridge in Sicily, the Scottish Division’s 15th Recce Regiment in Normandy, the Deutsche Afrika Korps at Alam Halfa, and the Red Army at Borodino. The Finnish Army in the Winter War of 1939 is also a subject.

Among the prints, there are two depicting the French and Indian War. Both are part of a five year commission for the Fort Loudoun State Historic Area in Vonore, Tennessee. In total there will be five prints depicting each year of the Independent Company of South Carolina’s history at Fort Loudoun. The first print depicts the British with their Cherokee advisor discussing where the fort should be built. The second print shows the strain of humanity as the fort is being built.

For fans of the University of Tennessee, there is a print presenting the college football team, the Volunteers, in their fighting glory.

“The goal of my painting is to put the viewer right into the historical event, up close and personal. I try to show a little of what it’s like to patrol the trenchworks outside Moscow during the early days of World War 2, or to stand near a 29th Division Captain in Normandy while his unit takes fire from hidden German snipers. My interest is in the common soldier–as an individual–in an uncommon situation.”

Smith is the Creative Director for Media South, a full-service communications company in Knoxville, Tennessee. He holds a BFA from the University of Tennessee, an MA from Syracuse University and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Hartford.

Electrostatic Fogging or spraying has been used for many years in the agricultural and horticulture fields. Technology has enabled the Electrostatic Sprayer to be adapted to a smaller more affordable piece of equipment. These electrostatic sprayers produce electrically charged spray droplets which are carried to the target in an air stream. Electrical charges on the surface of the spray particles cause them to be attracted to the target where they are directed.

Coulomb’s Law says that opposites attract, or more specifically, unlike electrical charges attract to each other. Simply put, when charged spray particles are near any object they will be attracted to that object. They will follow electric field lines and wrap around and coat all sides.

The Electrostatic Fogger takes advantage of this physical principle to allow spray applicators to do a better job and to help provide less environmental impact. In addition our Electrostatic Fogger uses air-assistance to help with spray delivery. Air is necessary in electrostatic spraying to cause the charged spray to push deep into complex targets. Electrostatics, with air-assist, plus the right droplet size is a perfect combination for the most effective and efficient application of Vital Oxide

The force of electrostatic attraction is strong if the droplets are small and the droplet charge is sufficiently high. Our Electrostatic Fogger produces highly charged spray droplets using a unique “embedded” induction electrode design. The result is the droplets have a force of attraction of 75 times that of gravity. This means droplets will reverse direction and move upwards, against gravity, to coat hidden surfaces.

The foggers are ideal for schools, day care centers, nursing homes, clinics and hospitals, gyms and spas, hotels, public transportation, restaurants, mold remediation firms etc for disinfecting and odor elimination.

A new lease to own program allows these state of the art machines to be affordable to all schools. With a sale price of $3,195.00 each, a lease to own program allows the school to begin using this technology for as little as $89.00 per month.
