Business Friendly Advertising - Turning Green Into Gold - LA City Beat

I absolutely love these news items on Business friendly advertising.

I love the idea of an environmentally conscious business getting word of mouth - "green advertising" for their environmentally friendly hiking boots.

WORD OF MOUTH ADVERTISING - THE OLDEST KIND
When you look at it, word of mouth advertising is the oldest kind of advertising. From the time of the cave man until today. Talking to people , giving and getting referrals is the greenest and most friendly of advertising types.

It's like the old It was like the Faberg? Organics shampoo commercial: "You tell two friends, and they'll tell two friends, and so on and so on.".

"Telling two friends" is the most cost effective type of advertising. It's also the most environmentally friendly type of advertising. Word of mouth was alot easier before the advertising and manufacturing revolution of the last 100 years. Nowadays you have to hammer your message as loud as possible in order to get a little attention.

In the old days when advertising was quieter and there were less product and service options to choose from, people actually talked to each other. New product offerings didn't come along as often and so when they did, they caused some discussion. If you put a product in the corner store, it would get noticed because it created natural curiosity.

Scarcity of products was also an issue. In the 70's I would see Christmas ads on the television. Some would say, "get these products before they run out of supply." Supply of product was actually an issue many years ago. Because companies were smaller and had limited credit, they could only produce so many products.

That is a huge contrast to today where the huge multinationals have enough money and resources to manufacturer as many products as we need. Imagine walking into Walmart and them running out of product. I haven't seen that in years.

There is more than enough products in more than enough stores, with more than enough credit, and more than enough advertising. Where is the curiousity in that.?! Where is the word of mouth generators in that?

It's refreshing when you can get a product that is so thrilling and wonderful and wholesome that it generates word of mouth advertising, sheerly because of it's benefits.

Green advertising is ultimately about word of mouth. But, can you live on word of mouth advertising in this highly mechanized , internet saturated era?

Junk Fax - Appeals Court Says 'no' To Junk-fax Litigation

THE AGE OF JUNK FAX CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT?
What is this world coming to?
Law suits, and class action law suits regarding, "Junk Faxes". Unbelievable. This is the litigious nature of the American Population. Sue the crap out of everyone. Sue them for sending you a fax. Get a class action law suit against a fax broadcaster.

What are these people thinking about?
Perry Johnson, Inc who was probably trying to drum up some business by sending out a fax broadcasting has had to suffer because some class action lawyer wants to get a piece of their hide.

Who makes the money here when you sue a fax broadcasting company?
The lawyers make ALL the money when you get into a class action law suit. The defending company has to get some legal help to defend the case. Lawyers cost between $250 and $500 per hour to defend these cases which are not a light affair. All for sending out a fax to a company promoting your business.

I think this directly speaks to the immoral, litigious nature of the american population. These people are cannabilizing corporate America. They are making everybody afraid to do anything for fear of being sued.

THE TRUTH ABOUT SUING FAX BROADCASTING COMPANIES AND COMPANIES THAT SEND OUT JUNK FAXES
The lawyers make the money. They are profit oriented. They want to make money. That is their motive. They don't necessarily want to help out the plaintiffs. They want to settle with the insurance companies who have liability insurance. They want to take their 35% contingency fee and then run.

The innocent company sending out the faxes promoting their product and service are stuck with $thousands of dollars of legal bills. All for sending out a fax to start to develop a relationship with a customer.

Marketing and promotions is the essence of the American Market place. American Companies pride themselves on marketing and branding the day lights out of absolutely everything.

These companies have marketed themselves into moral bankruptcy, and they're complaining about innocent companies sending out a 1 page fax to a fax list.

THE LAWYERS MAKE THE JUNK FAX MONEY
The lawyers are making the money and leaving corporate corpses lying in the ditch. As long as the lawyers get paid to sue the fax broadcasting companies this hurtful activity will continue.

I say that people should not sue fax broadcasting companies. Call them and scream at them for the inconvenience. Don't set up a class action suit against an innocent company. The class action suit may force the company to close its doors and lay off its employees.

That is bad for the economy.

When I hear about class action law suits and fax broadcasting company s I absolutely cringe to think about it. The lawyers are smiling all the way to the bank.

Junk Fax - Junk Mail Junk Fliers, Stop Junk Mail For Good - This Is Money

TIRED OF JUNK FAXES, FAX BROADCASTING, JUNK MAIL?

Many people complain about junk faxes and the fact that they waste their phone time, fax toner etc. That's nothing compared to how many trees are destroyed in the name of junk print fliers, business promotion fliers, newspaper ads, hand outs etc.

Environmentally speaking junk faxes are really a small part of the problem.

Newspapers and newspaper ads consume millions and millions of pounds of natural wood each month.

Here's a solution to not receiving junk (fax) mail.
If you don't want to receive mail that comes through your mail box, or by mail man (woman) call up the postal service and ask them to discontinue bringing you mail that is unaddressed.

The U.S. postal service / Canadian Postal Service are required to bring you mail that is addressed, as they can't tell if it's junk mail or not.

Stop your newspaper subscription, or at least request that they don't put fliers in your newspaper. I believe that newspapers are a waste of paper as most goes unread, and then gets thrown in the garbage.

If you're really concerned about stopping junk faxes, fliers etc, contact your local government agencies and ask them if there are laws related to receiving junk faxes and fliers. Ask them if there is a set way to STOP receiving these paper wasting ads with certainty.

HOWEVER, if you don't really want to stop receiving junk faxes from fax broadcasting companies, and paper flier advertisements from newspapers, postal distributors etc, stop complaining about it!

Junk Fax - Junk Faxes Fax Broadcast New California Law Challenged - Best Syndication

It's interesting how governments try to govern things like fax broadcasting, just faxing etc.

When you get down to the intent of it, it's really hard to prove that somebody sent a junk fax to a company.

Here's a junk fax ?? scenario:
You're in business and you want to prospect a business to sell them some of your products and services. You've been trained over the years to send out some preliminary information to the prospect before contacting them so that they have a better chance of knowing who you are.

You want to make your initial phone contact one that counts. You don't want to contact the prospect, whom you don't really know, to bother him/her with a request to send over a fax. You want your discussion to start with your products and not if you can send over introductory material.

You take the initiative to look up the company's fax number in the phone directory. You then send over your preliminary fax document to your desired prospect with the intentions to contact them in the next few hours.

YOUR PROSPECT CAN SUE YOU?
According to the TCPA and probably the California Law mentioned below, you have just broken the law civilly and can be fined up to $1500 per instance. This action of innocent "junk fax" prospecting can turn in a small court matter, technically.

IT'S COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS
As long as fax machines have existed, sales people , marketing people of all types have used this method of fax marketing. Sending out a preliminary fax advertisement to a prospective client to make them aware of their product. All of these people are breaking the law however because they are sending "unsolicited faxes".

What would happen to sales departments / marketing departments if they had to get written permission to send faxes to their prospects?

WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT DOING ABOUT IT?
Assuming there are several thousand of these single junk fax infractions taking place each day, what is the Federal government doing about it? What is the Government of California doing about it?

The better questions are:

1. ) What can they do about it?
   
2. ) How can the regulators of junk faxers find all of these sales and marketing professionals who are innocently breaking the law, and prosecute all of them.?
   
3. ) Is it practical to do prosecute all of these junk fax broadcasters? NO!!

Junk Fax - Transitioning From A Canon Mask Aligner To Next-Generation Equipment

Fax equipment seems to get more and more complex. I was looking at these articles from Yahoo.com when doing a search on fax broadcasting equipment.

Digital Faxing from Samsung seems to get more and more automated.

I found this article: Feeling overwhelmed by faxes

I love that new terminology: Fax-o-rrhea.. Hilarious.

When our practice's fax machine, once a symbol of office efficiency, recently turned into a practice-choking monster, we had to act. What started as a trickle of patient-specific faxes had expanded over the years into a flood of paper.

To fight the resulting administrative condition, which I diagnosed as "fax-o-rrhea," our office used a mix of 21st century technology and old-fashioned diplomacy. It's a solution that could work for your practice, too.

Too much information

Our office, Skyline Family Practice, opened in 1994 with an integrated electronic health record (EHR), scheduling program and medical billing program. Our telephone system and our facsimile machine were vital pieces of business equipment. However, the amount of incoming fax traffic and the necessary outbound faxes had escalated exponentially over the years.

To get a handle on who was sending us so many faxes, we mentally sorted them into two categories: medically related faxes and unsolicited junk. Medically related faxes were being sent to us by insurance carriers, pharmacy mail-order companies, nursing homes, hospitals, home health agencies and other doctors' offices. The junk messages were being served up by stockbrokers with tips see: Junk Fax Investment Fraud , restaurants with specials, salesmen with real estate offers and the like.
