		<description>I got to give you credit Vivienne - very good point here! More advertising doesn't mean you should go into debt buying expense radio ads or some other ridiculous thing. It just means you should advertise more, and there are plenty of ways that are both cheap and effective to do this. In fact, sometimes these work better than the pricey methods.</description>

		<description>One of the best saying about marketing that I have ever heard came from Jeff Tobe of Coloring Outside the Lines.  He said, "You have to out-think not out-spend the competition."  It is not how much you spend. It is HOW you spend.  Just look at our government. If spending large sums of money solved problems, we would have no problems in this country.  I have been a small business owner since 1983.  Spending wisely on creative and guerrella marketing has always brought the best results per dollar of marketing investment.  Very Good Posting !!! Keep it up.</description>

		<description>Hi Vivienne!
Such a wonderful post! In this times of inflation, its a good and timely reminder showing direction to all - both advertisers and agencies as well. I took a good hard look at my card and going to revamp it as you suggested in your previous post on "How to Sell Yourself Effective The First Times". Your analogies there are wonderful.
Thanks Vivienne!</description>
