Short and sweet tagline needed to be classy yet humorous to show we are not “mall” stores and not expensive snobby stores but great talented people who can truly get you the best engagement ring value. I’d honestly like something with a subtle sexy sneaky twist like “We’ll take care of the bling you can have the zing”. Or so you can take care of her….or something like that so it’s promoting love and lovemaking but still not over the top….
I’m setting up a wedding photography business, but I can’t come up with a brilliant, catchy tagline. Since I’m South Asian – I need a traditional tagline that jerks up emotions when read. Something to do with memories and emotions. Kindly help me out!

Jay’s Answer: A tagline isn’t something that simply “jerks up emotions”. It needs to first fit with your business name and then tell the people you’re trying to attract why they should pick YOU. This is even more important today with many people having digital cameras that can take great pictures at little cost. So, why should someone depend upon you on their wedding day? What can you do that no one else can do (as well)?
We need something catchy to print on a sign to catch physicians’ attention for our services. We offer start up services for new physician practices, we do everything they need in order to begin practicing successfully, i.e. finding an office location, purchasing supplies, setting up utilities, recommending IT, setting up policies & procedures, hiring, contracting with insurances, billing & collections… everything. Our target audience in this scenario, consists of physicians currently in residency at a local teaching hospital getting ready to graduate and move toward opening their own practices. Please help me the words that will grab them!

You know medicine.
We know business.
Let’s work together.
Does anyone have any fun simple games that will attract people to your trade show booth? the theme I am going by is sports. I’m trying to come up with something fun and attention grabbing.
it’s a trade show that MERSC is holding. I am there to promote the Flint Hills Children’s Festival that the Ordway Center for Performing Arts holds every year for the last 10 years. It’s at a sports arena, so my supervisor wanted to have a small basic sports related game that would attract people to our booth.

Jay’s Answer: Rent/create a fan that blows a column of air (up). Think of this as a vertical wind tunnel. The contest is: create a paper airplane that can stay aloft longer than anyone else’s.
I’m scheduled to do a 15 min. icebreaker – before a 9 hour vision session, and I really want to do something unconventional. I had originally planned to show one of the “Did you know” video – but I think a lot of people have already seen them. Any suggestions? I really don’t want to do one of the traditional: hug your neighbor, tell a funny story about yourself etc.

Jay’s Answer: Have people pair up. Give them 5 minutes to come up with 3 things they have in common. The catch? They can’t speak or write – it has to be with body language only.
Episode theme: How performing with marionettes or as clowns can lead to a successful business.
The Fratello Marionettes have been showcasing the ancient art of marionettes to audiences around the world since 1989. Shows feature their intricately handcrafted marionettes, which range from one-foot to three-feet tall. Kevin Menegus began performing with puppets as a young boy, and since has gone one to study with famous puppeteers Tony Urbano, Bob Baker, Randall Metz and Lewis Mahlmann. After discovering puppetry in high school, Fred C. Riley III has studied hand puppets with Yang Feng and then as resident puppeteer with Atlanta’s Center for Puppetry Arts.
For the last 30 years, Jeff Raz has performed nationally and internationally with circuses and theaters including Cirque du Soleil, The Pickle Circus, Song Circus, Lincoln Center Theater, Vaudeville Nouveau, Dell’Arte Players, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Marin and S.F. Shakespeare Festivals, TheatreWorks and Marin Theater Company. He has written 11 plays, directed many others and is the founder and director of the Clown Conservatory, a program that has trained some of the top young clowns who are currently performing around the world.
My partner and I are in the process of creating a business plan for a wedding venue that will be totally “green” and of high standards. The venue’s architecture will be a cross between mediterranean and contemporary. (Contemperranean.)
We would like help with the name of our business. The venue will be named later on when we’ve generated enough interest with investors. But for now we are experiencing mental blocks every time we try to name the business. We would like something catchy but not corny. A name that will grab attention from investors but also sound professional. My favorite was a simple “Engage, Inc.” But I found that the name was already Incorporated. Could you please make some suggestions?
My partner and I are selling colorfully painted plates, platters, mugs etc. She is a retail store owner. I am an artist. I have painted murals for her and signs in the past. She came to me with this idea of painting ceramics and selling them retail and wholesale eventually. Majority of ceramics will have Bible scripture on them. we may branch off from ceramics eventually too, so we dont want to confine the name to ceramics only. We want the name to be fun but not have us mistaken for a kid’s store. Some names we have so far: Leap of Faith, Lizzy Dee Designs (my family calls me lizzy, hers calls her Dee), Lizzy Deesigns, Divine by Design ( there are tons of businesses named Divine Designs which made us steer away from this), and Butterfly Blessings.
Would love for the company name to point us in direction of a definite logo. Ex: Devine by Design–we could have a vine in our logo.
Is there a better way to initiate comments on your blog as opposed to simply asking for them at the end of the post?
###
Jay’s Answer: Reciprocate with other bloggers. Post comments on their blogs. Contact them via email and ask for their comments on your blog (pick a specific article that you think would be of interest to them).
Last year we broadcast weekly mailers featuring cross functional team work across geographies and named it Synergy Success Stories – The mailer was designed in a shape of diary with a pen on the mast head & spiral bond & the edges & each week a new story being unfold & team members pictures in star shape with their names & work details being flashed who worked on a particular project.
This year we have frozen on the theme – Transcend – beyond all boundaries, breaking all barriers – dare to go beyond the limits. To attain the company GOAL of growth.
The idea is to project teams & projects who have come up with out of the box ideas/innovations & gone the extra mile in the contributing towards the growth of company & Business excellence.
Can you suggest what should these weekly mailers called to replace Synergy Success Story, so people are engrossed & do not lose interest in these weekly mailers being flashed ?
