Getting recipients of your viral advertising e-mail to forward it to their friends and coworkers isn’t as hard as it sounds. The whole trick is to make them WANT to share it and thereby share your advertisement. Neat! Cool! Free!

Because entertainment has value, interactive content like a quiz or test can inspire forwarding, especially if it’s fun. Personality tests, fitness quizzes, or compatibility questionnaires are all things that I have received and sent at one time or another.

A really cool, multimedia experience is always going to achieve some pass-along action. Rich media email is getting a lot of press of late. Someone is always touting the benefits. It does take more time and a little money but the messages have great appeal. Rich media has the advantage of being new and therefore has the novelty and tech factor. That alone is often enough for the message to be seen as valuable and worth forwarding.

There are vendors like RidicalMail and AdTools that have “Forward to a Friend” capabilities built right into their technology. Right now this works but eventually marketers will still rely on the value of the proposition in their message to be enough to distinguish it from the rest.

So should you try to capitalize on viral marketing? Absolutely!

At the very least, it would be unwise to leave out factors in your e-mail advertising campaign that would inspire forwarding. After all, don’t you want maximum penetration into your target audience?

You need to stretch those advertising dollars so hard you make George cry. You do, however, need to understand that viral marketing is a tactic that works toward achieving your campaign objective.

Oh…one more thing. No matter how brilliant you craft the offer and no matter how great the message, if the customer visits your site and has an experience less than what was promised, it will come back to bite you.

It is essential for anyone buying an RC to know it's components. Knowing the parts that make up an RC car help you to make an informed decision on whether you'll be getting your money's worth or not, and is also important later on, in case you may decide to upgrade parts of your RC to improve it's performance. Here are the major parts of an RC car, and more importantly, the things to watch out for in each one.

Remote Controller - this is the transmitter that you hold in your hand. It allows you to control the actions of the RC, telling it to stop, go, and which way to turn. When buying a remote control, make sure that it's comfortable. Don't pick one with tons of features but which will sit clunkily in you grip. Also, look for a controller that allows for variable speed and wheel angle steering adjustment. Without the ability to adjust the extent of speed or steering, your car's only options will be turning full left/right, and go full speed/stop now!

Receiver and Gearboxes - the receiver gets the signals from the transmitter and conducts them to the gearboxes, which allow the motor and the wheels to operate. Find ones with high degrees of sensitivity. A receiver that picks up signals easily is determined on the specs sheet by the maximum operating range of the car. The farther the operating range, the better. The gearboxes on the other hand have to be capable of making minute adjustments to steering. Test the RC before buying it to make sure that the wheels get angled properly by the gearboxes when you attempt to steer.

Motor - the heart of the RC. No matter the type, whether electric or nitro driven, look at the power output of the motor and compare it to the energy or fuel usage of the motor. Go for fuel or battery efficiency as a first pick, while you're still learning the ropes, and modify it for power as you gain more experience in RC operation.

Undercarriage - like a real sized car, the engine, receiver, and gearboxes are all mounted on a frame. Find a sturdy one, as the undercarriage protects the valuable and sensitive components of the RC car. Composite plastics have to be high impact, preferable, to make sure that your RC can survive punishing crashes. Replacing a cracked undercarriage is easy, but replacing the internal parts can be much more expensive.

Wheels and Shocks - yes, these are, just like a real car, very important. Most of the considerations that apply to picking these for a real car apply. Get tires with good road grip, and shocks that have a medium level of bounce - too soft, and your internal components get rattled from bouncing too much. Too hard, and your RC will tend to jump far too high over even small road bumps, incidentally jarring your RC and causing wear and tear to the parts of the chassis supporting the shocks.

Personalized corporate gifts refer to certain items or gifts that are emblazoned with a company name or logo. If you decide to send out personalized corporate gifts, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

First, when deciding upon the items you will be using for corporate gifts, ensure it is in someway related to the service provided by your company.

Ensure the item or items are appropriate in cost. Remember, items may vary according to the type and amount of business the recipient has provided to your company. The items provided as gifts should be given according to the relationship you have with the recipient of the gift. A client who provides you with a large amount of business should be compensated with a sizeable gift.

Once the items have been decided upon, it is time to have the company logo branded upon them. When deciding on the size and positioning of the logo, keep in mind that even though the personalized corporate gift is a means of advertising your business, it should not appear to be obvious. Do not make the logo too big or gaudy. Ensure it is small and tasteful, and in a position to be noticed.

Remember to be consistent with the provision of corporate gifts. Make the corporate gift an imperative part of each sale. The gift does not always have to be the same; it can very each time a new gift is given, just ensure a gift is provided each time. If this is not done, the value of the first gift will continue to diminish, and eventually you will find you may lose a valued colleague, partner or client.
