 Erin Ferree writes: "I lived in the dormitories for the first two years I was in college. Life on campus tended to be a bit boring, though. But there was one building down the hill that was known for providing entertainment. The inhabitants tended to throw parties for pretty much any reason—not just end-of-finals parties, but the-power's-gone-out parties, and even the-cafeteria-served-something-gross parties. Any excuse was enough of an excuse to party."

Katie Marcus writes: "Whether you are designing an expensive television commercial or full color business cards, one of the best ways to find a winning marketing plan is with a team brainstorming exercise. When handled correctly, brainstorming as a group is one of the best ways to come up with creative ideas. When you work as a group to brainstorm new ideas, you get a fresh approach to your product, service, or business model, resulting in a successful marketing plan."

Tom Wheelwright writes: "Over the years, I have met and worked with literally hundreds of business owners. At one time or another, many of them have written a business plan. But very few of them have a working business strategy. A business plan and a business strategy are two very different tools. A business plan normally is prepared for a financing partner, either a bank or an investor. The purpose of the plan is to let investors know about the business and its potential for success in order to encourage them to invest in the business."

Jeffrey A. Solochek writes: "Over the years it has gotten harder and harder to find new effective ways to market your wares. With direct mail you may be lucky enough to get maybe a quarter of a percent positive response. If you use a little creativity and send a postcard with a picture of someplace like Hawaii and a message that looks hand written then maybe you'll get a 2 or 3 percent positive response. Blanket an entire zip code, sending out thousands of these post cards to maybe get 2 or 3 sales. "

Anonymous writes: "Yes, a successful business is one that sells more than its competitors. The bottom line is always important. But, when it really comes down to it, the businesses that succeed (and ultimately sell more) are the ones that can separate themselves from others in the minds of the customers. Making your company stand out from your competitors is the key to survival."
