Make a Personal Statement With Photo Invitations
The popularity of photo invitations has grown of late mainly due to the growth of digital cameras and home editing software. More and more people are turning to designing their own invitations. If you've ever received a photo invitation you would have noticed how personal they can be. Gone are the days of the mass produced and designed cards by the big card companies, these day's people are looking for a more personal feel to their invitations. The great thing about photo invitations is that they are so versatile you can use them for any occasion from weddings to birthday parties. Another good thing about photo invitations is that you control the process, from choosing the photos to personalizing the text of the invitation. Almost every occasion suits the use of photo invitations including baby shower parties, engagement parties, anniversaries, birthday and holidays to name a few occasions.
You can't escape it wherever you walk these days you'll see someone with a camera or a camera phone snapping a photograph. And thanks to editing software programs we can all claim to be expert photographers. The computer enables us to do some amazing things with photos from adjusting the amount of light the photograph has to changing the size of the shot. When choosing photos for your invitations it's important that you choose photos that are clear and bright, dull photos can ruin an invitation. Make sure the photos are of high resolution otherwise you may experience printing issues. The use of black and white photos is a popular choice especially for traditional wedding invitations. Black and white photographs add a touch of class and an old world feel to the invitation. When it comes to the printing of the invitations you have a number of choices to choose from including doing it yourself to taking it to a local card store. If you have a small party and have access to a laser printer you can print your own invitations, for large parties it's recommended that you use the services of a card and printing store.

Trading on Joy?
In light of the current financial crisis that we are currently having to deal with, why is that some women (and men) accept that weddings cost a fortune and quite happily fork out thousands for the 'perfect day'?
Speaking as someone getting married this year, I'm shocked and appalled to see a) the prices some companies charge for wedding related items such as dresses, jewellery, venue hire etc, and b) how easily people manage (or don't) to find the cash to pay over the odds for it all.
For example one hotel I inquired at months ago quoted me almost double for hire of their old barn when I called under a different name and got a quote for the same thing (including food and drink) but mentioned the word 'wedding'. Now some might say this is because of hidden extras but when I inquired about what the wedding package included it was exactly the same! I had to pay extra for table name cards, place name cards, flowers, DJ, toastmaster, cake stand and cutter - need I go on!
The cost of fuel has risen dramatically recently, as has the cost of food, household fuel, running a car and don't get me onto the whole mortgage and credit crunch - so I want to know exactly why we justify spending twice as much on just one day - our special day.
I heard the average cost of a wedding these days is a whopping ?15k and judging by some of the comments I've read in various wedding forums online, this is vastly underestimated - especially if you take into account the honeymoon.
A video emailed to me last week epitomized the majority of the wedding industry to me - a couple walk into a cake shop and ask for a white 3 tiered cake and was quoted a reasonable price. The shop owner asked what it was for and when the couple replied their wedding, the owner immediately doubled the price!! When asked why the couple was told it was because wedding cakes are different and wouldn't accept any other comment!! Obviously this was a spoof video but it really happens.
I've spent the last 9 months bartering and looking around and eventually coming to a reasonable price with various extras 'thrown in' and still managed to get what I consider to be a great venue, the perfect dress, great suits for the boys and a g

Protecting Your Interests: Using Competitive Intelligence Gathering Techniques at Tradeshows To Safeguard Your Bottom Line
Protecting Your Interests: Using Competitive Intelligence Gathering Techniques at Tradeshows To Safeguard Your Bottom Line By Susan Friedmann
"This looks absolutely amazing!" The attendee was smiling, eyes bright, a wide grin. "If this is what I think it is, I'm pretty sure this piece of equipment will solve all of our problems." He turned to the booth staffer, a young woman at her very first show. "Could you tell me how it works?"
The staffer, thrilled at the possibility of selling a piece of equipment that sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars, was more than accommodating. She answered every question, even the most technical. When the prospect wanted to take some pictures, she helped him get good shots - from every conceivable angle.
When the prospect left, he had every relevant piece of sales literature. He also had a dozen great digital pictures, the card of the booth staffer, and a promise that someone from the exhibitor's company would be following up directly after the show.
However, the attendee didn't let the grass grow under his feet. His organization was in touch with the exhibitor's organization within days.
However, instead of a purchase order, the communication was coming from the attendee's legal department - who had a pretty good case that the exhibitor's display model was based on their proprietary design!
Tradeshows offer the most overt intelligence gathering environment imaginable. There is no other place where you can find all of the companies in one industry gathered in a convenient location, with all their offerings on display. Helpful booth staffers will answer questions, often those questions that should raise red flags among an exhibiting team.
This can work against you, or, as illustrated in the story above, it can work for you. The world is getting smaller every day. Ideas are stolen. They're copied, reverse engineered, you name it. However, as the owner and originator of these ideas, you may have no idea that this has happened - until you stumble across the results at a tradeshow or industry event.
In an increasingly competitive world marketplace, you can't depend on chance discoveries! Savvy tradeshow exhibitors and attendees know that they have to take the initiative, and carefully approach tradeshows with one eye toward protecting their own intellectual assets.
Determine a goal for your staffers or employees you're sending to attend a show. Make it clear to them what type of thing they're to look for: products that duplicate your own, for example, or that incorporate proprietary technology without permission.
It is never your employee's role to have a confrontation about these topics at the show. Instead, their role is, as illustrated above, to gather as much information as possible about the product and company, and relay that data back to your headquarters, where it can be acted upon by the appropriate personnel.
Preparation is essential. You can't send your staffers in with the command to protect your interests without equipping them to do so. Here's how you start that preparation:
Prior to the show, study the exhibitor list. Identify which companies you already know, and make special note of any new names. It is far more common for emerging, smaller organizations to engage in unscrupulous activities - if only because the larger, behemoth firms have legal firms that keep them from getting into trouble! Sometimes show organizers make this easy by listing exhibitors by industrial categories, but other times you're left facing an alphabetical list.
Create a 'hit list' of companies that you absolutely have to see. Of course you'll want to visit your major competitors - but don't be myopic. It is important to pay careful attention to any unfamiliar exhibitors, even if they are only tangentially related to your industry.
Augment your target list with pre-show research, including what readings from trade publications and industry knowledge. This will generally give you a starting point for your investigations. Pinpoint those items you definitely want to know more about, and include these on your team's list of goals and objectives.
At the same time, it is vitally important to remain aware and open to any information that may arise serendipitously. It is impossible to know ahead of time what your team will encounter while they're walking the show floor.
Having the skills and wit to recognize copyright infringement and intellectual property theft, no matter what form it takes, is a valuable asset in any employee. Make sure you recognize and reward your team appropriately!

Beauty Salon Supplies: catering to every woman's needs
Most women want to make sure that their 'crowning glory' still shines at the end of the day, so they would most likely cater to hair care products. This is why it is important to invest in salon supplies that that would best define hair, like shampoo supplies.
Do you think that you've had a lot less time to take care of your skin?
Stressful activities usually take their toll on our skin. That is why spas are there, to make sure that women have a place to run to whenever they feel that stress has overwhelmed their body. Salon spas should invest more on beauty supplies that will fulfill these needs. Facial beauty products, day spa supplies and the like are what would be most needed for women who'd want to pamper their skin.
Do you value style?
A lot of women do not only want to feel confident, but also to look one. The Chic, the vintage, powerhouse, and the glamorous- whatever type of look women customers want for themselves, you should be able to cater to. Hand and foot supplies, hair color supplies and cosmetics should be at hand to offer women who value style.
Natural beauty products, day spa supplies, hair supplies, cheap or not, can be found at online sites. If you want to find the best products available for your salon and your clients without much hassle, you need only to browse online. You can even find second hand supplies that would be most friendly to your budget. Just enter the terms "salon equipment" or "salon supplies" or "discount salons equipment" in the search bar of any search engine like Google.
A NOTE ON FRUMPINES
The frumpy look is definitely no more, and with the popularity of Hollywood beauties to die for, it's no surprise then that many women want to be as beautiful - or at least die trying. The good thing about it is that now isn't a part of a woman's body that can't be enhanced. (But of course, there's a limit to what parts of the body can be enhanced in a beauty salon.)
At the beauty salons, women need trained salon workers like hair cutters, hairstylists, eyebrow pluckers so their hairs make sense . They also need pedicurists and manicurists to nip at their cuticles and color their nails for that great look that looks artful.

Beauty Salon Supplies: catering to every woman's needs
Every woman needs pampering every now and then. It should be understood that women play a very important role in all aspects of society, from the comfort of the home to the complexities of a job. With all these responsibilities, it is no wonder that women would want to dedicate a day or even just a few hours to pampering themselves. A day of relaxation does not have to be costly. Sometimes, all it takes is to find the right spa or salon establishment that would best cater to your needs.

Preparing Your Flower Girl
Flower girls are just so darn adorable. When they walk down the aisle, watch the faces of the guests light up with big smiles. However, being a flower girl is a big job for a little girl, and it is best to prepare them in advance so things will go smoothly on the wedding day.
For every flower girl who skips down the aisle, merrily tossing rose petals, there is another one who makes it only halfway before sitting down in the aisle and refusing to budge. Most little girls are very excited to be a flower girl, but once the actual moment arrives, they may suffer from shyness or stage fright. This is especially true of the youngest flower girls, but it can happen at any age.
Many little girls have never been to a wedding before, and do not know what to expect. A great way to prepare them is with books on the subject. There are even story books and coloring books written especially for flower girls, to tell them all about their very important job. This would make a nice little treat from the bride.
Often flower girls simply become overwhelmed by the grandeur of the wedding. If the ceremony will take place in a church, take the little girl to a few services there so that it becomes a familiar place to her. The rehearsal will also be helpful, as it will allow her the opportunity to practice her walk down the aisle.
At the rehearsal, explain to the flower girl exactly what she should do. First she will put on a pretty dress, and Mommy will put ribbons in her hair. Then they will arrive at the ceremony location. When the music starts, it will mean that it is time for her to get ready to go. After the bridesmaids, she will walk down the aisle, carrying flowers or a basket of

Carhartt Jeans For Your Body Type
Purchase a boot-cut jean because the flare at the bottom of the jean will help balance out that extra bit of tummy. Also look for a jeans that closes across your waist instead of above or below your waistline.
Hipping Out
If your hips are on the voluptuous side look for a jean with a slightly lower waist that fits comfortably without creating a muffin top. A straight leg will work much better as it will create a longer leg and decrease the width of your hips. Stay away from boot cut jeans, as they will only make your thighs seem larger.
Bubble Butt
If you have a bigger booty then stay away from jeans with back pockets that call attention to your behind. Do not purchase jeans with flap pockets or with pockets that have a lot of decoration on them. Carhartt jeans will suit the fanny of any woman, as the pocket design is simple and not ostentatious.
Top Heavy Troubles
For those of you with a larger upper body it is best to draw attention downward. Look for the Cataract jeans in lighter denim colors. The lighter color will also balance out your body better and help make your top appear smaller.
Cutting Crotch
If you find the only trouble you have when you purchase jeans is a pulling or tightness in the crotch, it could be because your body is longer and you have short legs. Try purchasing Carhartt jeans in a petite size regardless of your height.
Not only does Carhartt have jeans to suite every body type but we can also provide jeans to suit any environment or activity. Some of our jean styles come with multiple pockets for holding tools or other equipment. In addition if you find yourself in a frigid environment, you can purchase out toasty flannel lined jeans and stay warm all day.
