Public Relations Firms
June 2, 2008
Today many big businesses are having a difficult time with how the public views them. A huge part of the reason is that there has been so much publicity regarding the large salaries and benefits that the corporate executive officers get paid. It is bad publicity to have heads of corporations making millions of dollars when the average stock holder is getting minimal dividends. Having the salaries and fringe benefits of corporate leaders exposed through the media makes the average wage earner angry. In this day and age of many people living from pay check to pay chick news that one person is making millions of dollars is not well received.
This publicity has lead to many large corporations down sizing their mid management positions. The news that suddenly middle aged workers or people close to retirement losing their jobs does not bode well for the company either. For this reason many companies are hiring public relation firms to help improve their image and to insure that the products or services the company produces will be better received by consumers. Most companies have publicity or advertising departments, but the public relations firms are independent of the corporation and help the company understand and improve their image. Because the public relations firm is independent from the corporation, they are freer to point out faults and to recommend areas of improvement. The consultants of the firm do not have to be concerned about losing their position if they point out things that need to be changed. Many times employees will see areas where improvements should be made, however they do not want to insult the corporate leaders for fear of losing their jobs.
Many public relations firms will provide consultations for short periods of time. They may be called in to help a company over come a crisis or to avoid a crisis. Many times they will work in conjunction with the advertising department to help develop favorable ways of changing the image the public has of the company or to shed a more positive spin on past poor publicity. The shorter the period of time the firm actually works with the corporation the more effective they are. If a firm works for too long with a company they may develop the same biases as the employees have. Getting skilled professionals that are not profiting from the goods or services of a company is a great way to have a clear picture of what needs to change or stay the same. In many ways public relations firms are a way of giving a company an unbiased report card.
Choosing the Right eBay Product Category
April 4, 2008
Most people seem to think it’s easy to choose the right eBay category, and often it actually is. Sometimes, though, it might not be quite clear exactly what to go for.
Why is it Even Important?
Plenty of people use the category system to find items, when they’re not looking for something specific. If your item is listed in the wrong category – or you’ve just given up and listed it in ‘Everything Else’ – then these people aren’t going to find your auction.
Also, listing items in the wrong categories is against eBay’s rules, and eBay say they will remove any auctions that are wrongly categorized. They don’t often actually do this, but it’s not worth the risk – especially since breaking any rules can cause them to penalize your account, including losing PowerSeller status if you have it.
So What Can You Do?
eBay will suggest categories for you when you sell your item, if you type in a few words to describe the item on the category selection page and click ’search’. You can make the best of this feature by typing in exactly what your item is, with brand name and model number (if any), so that eBay can find the best category for you.
If that doesn’t work for you, then search yourself for items like yours, and pay attention to which category most of them seem to be in (you can see this near the top of each item’s description page). Try different words and see which ones come back with the most results. You can also browse through all the available categories from eBay’s front page.
Remember that the more specific the category is, the better – use as many subcategories as are appropriate. Don’t just list your HP laptop in the ‘Computers’ category, for example – list it in ‘Computers > Laptops > HP’. Don’t worry: your item will still appear in the ‘Computers’ category, as well as ‘Computers > Laptops’, because items listed in subcategories are always listed in every category above.
Take some time to look through all the categories and get familiar with the way eBay as a whole is laid out. After all, that’s better than getting a few months down the line and finding that you still think of eBay’s category system like it’s some kind of scary jungle.
What if More Than One Category Fits?
Don’t worry, eBay have you covered. For a small extra fee, you can list your item in an extra category, to increase the number of potential buyers who will see it. This isn’t always worth it, though – some items only really fit properly in one category, and listing them in extra categories is just a waste.
Once you know where to list your item, the next step is to write your auction’s title. The title is the most important thing about your auction – the difference between a good title and a bad title can be the difference between $10 and $100. That’s why I’ll take you through the dos and don’ts in the next email.
