Posted: 07 Jul 2013 12:47 PM PDT In the past, dates were organized by a third party. Due to the change of generations, this became outdated. During those times, the man had to pay for expenses of the first date. If the two parties pre-arranged for another date, the two would now share the expense. These days, either of the parties involved can take care of the expenses depending on their financial status. After sometime, that became outdated as new advanced types of dating were introduced. Example is the online dating where one does not need to spend a lot like real world dating; there are other types of dating as show below 1. Dating for fun This main goal of this type of dating is enjoyment. It is a no-string attached type of dating. The parties spend time together. The two parties enjoy the company of each othereither chatting or laughing. This type of date is usually not a serious one because since it is not exclusive. 2. Dating to see Dating to see is purposely meant for knowledge. It is more intentional as both of you can have fun as well. It is meant for both of you to know each other and see if you can get into a serious relationship. The two parties can talk about life goals, marriage, your children background, career plans and family background. This dating may or may not be exclusive one. The parties involved can decide whether to introduce their partners to their respective friends and family members. 3. Dating to decide It is also known as courtship dating. Its goal is to make a yes or no decision in line with marriage. The two parties get to know each other for the purpose of deciding whether to get married or not. This may be privateand informal or public affair involving family or commitment with the other party in decision making. At this stage, the dating involves much intentionality. The involved parties should ask themselves what they need to know about their partners, what the other partner needs to know about them. It also helps so that the decision making process would not drag on forever. 4. Dating after marriage Dating after marriage its main goal is for growth. If one gets married, they will still continue dating. It is quite different from the other types of dating. Since the two parties have made lifelong commitment, they will have to develop the relationship. This dating is always important as it gives you an exclusive time with your partner. One can use the time or opportunity to catch each other up on things that have happened in the past week, haveserious conversations and make decisions. All in all, having these types of dating types, one can choose either of them depending on their goals or interests. However, with all this options, choosing the type of dating has been a difficult task especially to the upcoming youths. This may be due to the slight differences between the dating types resulting into confusion. Related posts: |

Examples of Marketing Strategies Posted: 14 Jul 2013 11:02 PM PDT Marketing is frequently confused with advertising but it is the plan that guides the growth of sales of products and services. Any type of business can use various marketing strategies to grow their business. Guerilla Marketing You can use this method of marketing if you do not have enough funds to buy adverts, to give away free products or market your products at promotional events. If you have employees they can act as ushers or parking attendants at events. If you own a restaurant you can always set up a stand at a high school event and donate some of your products for sampling. Position your Self For any business to thrive, it is really important to position yourself in your market place and one great way to do just that is to create a brand or image. If you find a business enterprise limiting itself to a particular gender like selling men shoes, it means that your store specializes in that particular product. Cause Marketing Most people sponsor charity by buying food or paying fees or even sponsoring a football tournament that raises money for charity in order to gain brand loyalty. This is usually a really effective way to introduce your new products or services into the market. Marketing through Sports This is also another great way to let people know more about your products. Some people use their businesses to support many local teams and this in return offers many opportunities. Sometimes some companies end up getting signage and have the advantage of athletes wearing the company or business logo on their uniforms. Some even have the event named after their company or product and this is just another way of exposing the company, their products and services. This type of marketing strategy gives great publicity and exposure. Boosting Consumer Confidence It is really hard to find someone buying a product they know little about. If you business and products is just new to the market, it would be better to create a marketing campaign that lay emphasis on the quality of your products and services. This really boosts the consumer confidence and it will mostly be evident at the cash register. Creating Awareness It is important to hold a campaign that can promote your products as many ways as possible. One can use the local airwaves and other advertising agencies with their company name or logo to make their products known and what they have to offer. Increased awareness will always bring more people to your store but since it is costly, you should be willing to spend more on your advertising. Put Deadlines You will find that many company ads have deadlines where they emphasize too much on the closing sale date when they are selling their products at reduced prices. This is a very unique and effective strategy because customer responds to deadlines without even realizing it. The feeling of losing out to some people is just not good and that why you will find people lining outside a store. |

It is also advisable to send messages to your clients with information about your products. Observe your Marketing plan It is really important to monitor your marketing plan. This will always help in tracking the results. It is good to keep track of the customers you get. You need to know if they are mostly women, men , youth, etc because this will help in creating more ideas on how you can get even more people to love your products. Establish a corporate goal It is good to have a magnificent business growth but it will be of no good use if the owners of the business wish to just retain its current scale. Seminars Many businesses have thrived by doing small things like seminars. This is usually not a waste of time since a lot of businesses get their product known through this kind of exposure. Seminars make a great impact because here one gets to talk one on one with the customers and get a share of what everyone views and even new ideas come along the way. Seminars can get you publicity by just marketing the event. Create a Free Event Everywhere you go in the world today, there will always be media reporters looking for a good story.
