I’m trying to find some creative ways to market for our eBay drop-off store and pack/ship business. We’ve tried the traditional TV/radio/email. Anyone have any interesting, perhaps guerilla, marketing ideas?

I have an idea for a internet business which will require quite a bit of money to start, but I am sure it will make plenty of money. Where should I go to get this started? How can I make sure that even though I am not very well rehearsed in the internet technology, that if I share my idea with someone I will get paid.

How do people open certain businesses (mechanic shop, restaurant, hair salon, etc.) without the worry of the market being saturated?

I have developed a dynamic internet business concept that I believe will become the next Facebook or YouTube and would like to sell it to either Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, Apple or any other entity. But I don’t know how to make the right contacts at these entities or how to proceed. Who do I contact and how?

We send business emails to potential clients, once in a year. But, of late, a number of business emails sent are thrown out, considering them as spam. The very purpose of sending mails are lost. How to reach the targeted persons without being thrown out as spam?

customers in the US. Keep 10% and send rest to the international company thru my bank account. Is this legal business or money laundering scheme.
Suggestions?

is there any way to search for a list of local businesses email addresses online? I am doing some marketing and I need a list of a variety ( non specific) of business email addresses. I dont mean to try to get some information that is private, since most businesses have their email addresses on business cards etc. Anyone know how to go about getting a list??/

I need to be non-offensive as she also sends me the occasional client, but she is out of control with the “forwarding” emails.
And I can’t tell which are which as the email “re” is always blank.

When I started college, I decided to major in Architecture because I had a love for drawing and building scale models. I enjoyed the drafting classes I took, but when it came to the design studio classes, I felt that’s where my weakness was, because I’m more of a technical person than a creative one. I still continued to work hard, received my associates degree, and I applied and was accepted into architecture school. The first day of school, the professor assigned us to design three structures with floor plans, elevations and 3d sketches, and to have it done in a week. The workload was just too much for me, so I ended up dropping out of the program after the first week. So after quitting school, I figured I should try to get a job. I searched all over for entry-level drafting positions, but although I had a degree, no one would hire me - mostly because of lack of experience and because of the weak economy. With no jobs available in architecture, I went to a temp agency and was offered a data entry position. I couldn’t afford to be picky, so I accepted it. So far, it’s been one of the best companies I’ve ever worked for! The product is great, the company is growing really fast, and it’s a really great working environment with excellent opportunities to advance. I quickly moved from data entry to sales assistant to now accounts receivable assistant.in just six months. I recently received an email from the director of the architecture program stating that he really wants me back in the program and thinks I can succeed, but I really want to keep my job and if I go back to architecture school, I would have to quit my job and be stuck being a starving student again. I spoke with the CEO of the company, he told me that if I wanted stay with the company, that he foresees growing positions in marketing and sales. So, I’ve been thinking about going back to school, but changing my major to Business with a Marketing emphasis to give me a better chance to advance within the company. Plus, I can continue to work while I go to school. I still like architecture, but I don’t know if I like it enough to quit my job and commit to the heavy workload. Also, I’m not as creative as I would like to be, so I question how successful I could really be, in school and professionally. On the other hand, I don’t really know much about Business (Marketing) yet and don’t know if I’ll succeed in that either. Plus there is no guarantee that I’ll be able to move up in the company. Anything could happen in the next few years. What should I do?
