Brief History of the Xerox Company

Nov-30-2008 By EdTerran

In 1906, the Xerox Company was founded in Rochester, New York. First known as The Haloid Company, it specialized in manufacturing photographic equipment and paper. It became “Haloid Xerox” in 1958 and then “Xerox” in 1961.

Its name is so ubiquitous that to “Xerox” something has become a verb and part of American vernacular instead of just a company name. And in fact, its claim to fame is as the manufacturer of the first plain paper photocopier, introduced in 1959. By 1961, Xerox had made almost $60 million in revenue, and by 1965, revenues jumped to over $500 million. Its burgeoning profits were very welcome news for the investors who had believed in and helped finance the research and development of the product in question, which finally made them wealthy. In fact, some of them became millionaires.

Xerox introduced desktop copying in 1963, laser printing in 1969, and color copying in 1973. However, its product line didn’t just stop there. In 1970, it opened a new research facility in Palo Alto, California and developed such innovative products and techniques as the graphical user interface and the mouse. However, its developments remained focused on its basis for household recognition, Xeroxing — that is to say, photocopying.

To that end, after a brief foray into computer products that weren’t particularly successful, Xerox returned its focus to photocopying and improving design and quality of its product line in the 1980s and 1990s. It regained a technical lead over competition by revamping its product line to include high-end laser printers with scanners attached that could be connected to computer networks. This gave its customers ease of use by giving them a complete service in regard to document handling, including user support, configuration, supply and maintenance.

An acquisition of the Tektronix color printing and imaging division in Wilsonville, Oregon further gave a Xerox of leading edge with its new focus on the Xerox Phaser product line and its printing technology in solid ink.

New lease on life

As of 2000, Xerox completed its turnaround and is once again a solidly established company with a leading edge in the marketplace. Xerox continues its dominance in the photocopy and document-managing sector of the industry with its current line of printers. Currently, the major players in the photocopying and printing sector include printers that function in multiple ways, Xerox Phaser printers, photocopiers, and new workflow software under a new strategy called “FreeFlow.” FreeFlow in particular has brought Xerox into the graphic arts market and the print industry. The company has also begun to sell selling digital scanners and printers.

In addition, it continues to sell the “legacy” products that made it a household name — but those, too, have been revamped for the 21st century. Xerox still specializes in printer sales, selling both black and white and color printers. It also sells digital presses (the newest, the Xerox iGen 4, was launched in May of 2008).

It also continues to sell professional printers, black and white copiers and fax machines, among other products. Xerox has also recently branched into selling office supplies.

What’s perhaps most notable about Xerox, though, is that its products cover the gamut, from commercial to home use. Several of its products, for example, are priced for the average consumer and yet produce high-quality results regardless. For example, the Phaser 6110MFP is priced quite reasonably for its abilities, with some models under $600. Various Phaser models include the ability to print, copy, fax or scan; another model copies, prints or scans. Both will do so in either color or black and white. Put very simply, this is very high quality for a very reasonable price.

In conclusion, Xerox is a company that’s been around for more than a century. It revolutionized business with its ability to inexpensively and quickly make copies, and has since gone on to become so ubiquitous that its name has become part of the vernacular. It remains top-of-the-line in the 21st century as it adjusts its product line to meet the changing needs of consumers and businesses alike.

Cost To Rent A Trade Show Display

Nov-30-2008 By A.Nutt

Establishing a solid trade show presence is an important part of the marketing plan for many companies. Trade shows can provide a great arena to promote your products, both existing and new. Attending trade shows can also help you learn about new industry trends, increase your sales, and create new contacts with important industry players.

But before you attend your first trade show, you need to have a display. It is typical for most companies to allot almost a third of their marketing budge to creating their trade show presence, which includes renting or buy a trade show display. But how much does it cost to rent a display? Could it be a better plan for your business?

What Makes a Great Trade Show Exhibit?

The best trade show exhibits give potential customers a memorable and positive view of the company. In addition, they attract potential customers and make it easier to achieve sales, while still controlling traffic to your booth and presenting a positive view of your company. Additionally a great trade show exhibit needs to stay within your budget.

Cost to Buy a Display

Before evaluating the cost of trade show display rental, you need to know what it would cost to buy a display. Custom trade show displays can retail in the neighborhood of $10,000 to $20,000 and can take about six weeks to be created. Prices are lower for simpler displays, such as about $1,000 for a simple table-top version. This upfront investment is a hardship for many new business or smaller companies and can handicap the marketing efforts of the company.

Trade Show Exhibit Rental Costs

Renting a trade show display can be a great solution for small businesses, those who have not exhibited in the past, and those who attend only a few trade shows a year. Additionally, renting a trade show display is a smart move for businesses that have double bookings, since it is only possible to have your display at one trade show at a time.

The cost of renting a trade show exhibit is about 30-40 percent the cost of owning an exhibit. So for a very basic table-top display, you could pay as little as $300. This is a significant cost savings over purchasing a display.

Other Advantages of Rental

There are several other advantages to renting a trade show display, rather than making the large initial investment of purchasing one:

- Renting provides flexibility. Renting a trade show display gives you the option to change your mind about how you want to represent your company. Perhaps you initial trade show exhibit design failed to impress customers at a recent show. If you are renting, you can make changes and end up with a better result. If you own your display, you are stuck with what you have.

- There’s less commitment associated with renting a display. Maybe you don’t know if you want to keep going to trade shows. You may find that they are not the best way for your company to market itself. If trade shows end up not being for you, you can stop renting your display. If you own your display, you are stuck with it.

- Renting may also make more sense if you are an infrequent attendant at trade shows. Some companies go to trade shows all the time, but others simply attend once or twice a year. If you are not a frequent trade show attendant, renting may be the best way for you to spend your trade show marketing budget.

Providing quality trade show display rental, display booth rental and custom trade show displays for all your trade show exhibit needs.

The Note Industry in Tough Economic Times

Nov-30-2008 By FrankLucer

Whether you get your news online, on television, or in a newspaper, it’s no secret that the global economy is in the process of shifting. With foreclosure rates skyrocketing, and tighter lending practices being put in place many business people involved in the private cash flow industry are wondering how exactly their bottom line will be affected. There are many different theories, but in reality we just don’t have enough data to be certain on the effects of the current market. One thing we can be certain of is that in the current economic climate there are numerous opportunities for the private cash flow specialist to help both home sellers and note holders. Likewise, note buyers with a nose for cash are fortified by the potential growth in numbers and availability of private real estate notes in the market.

The potential growth in the numbers of real estate notes available is primarily due to two main factors. First, traditional lending practices are tightening. This means that some borrowers who in the past would have no trouble securing the financing needed to buy a new home are having trouble qualifying for some or all of the funding they need. Seeking that financing through private sources, such as the current owner of the home they wish to buy, is an option that allows this would-be home owner to become a home owner in reality. A private real estate note is created between the home seller and buyer in this process, which opens many opportunities in the form of new notes for note finders to work with. Most of these note holders had no intention of creating a note with the sale of their home. The combination of a limited number of traditionally qualifying home buyers and the excess of real estate inventory creates a situation in which note creation becomes appealing, and in some cases, a necessity. The note finder can be of great service helping these reluctant note holders get the cash they wanted in the first place.

The second manner through which more real estate notes become available in rough economic times is through the notes that already exist. Note holders may become less inclined to hold onto these types of cash flows - they may have a sudden need for cash due to the changing economy, or may lose confidence in their payor’s ability to pay. Rather than getting backed into a corner by a payor in default, the note holder may prefer to sell the note at a time of their choosing.

Of course, some note holders may wish to hold onto their stream of payments – and that is okay. Opportunity may still exist for the note finder in these cases. It is always a possibility that the note holder will change their mind – especially if the payor does fall behind on their payments. In good times and bad, smart note finders will make certain even the most satisfied of note holders has a means to reach them just in case the note holder’s needs change.

Starting a Home-Based Business

Nov-30-2008 By FrankLucer

Starting a home-based business can be an exciting and sometimes scary experience for any new business owner. While the owner may or may not have prior business experience, there are a few things that should be taken into account in the planning stage. Every successful business either explicitly or inherently must address a few simple concepts in order to develop a strong and thriving business enterprise.

One of the most important things you must do as a business owner starting out is to assess your own talents and abilities. Are you creating a business that you have experience with and therefore already have a strong knowledge base? Is it a business you are going to enjoy doing? Both are important contributing factors and cannot be discounted. If you do not evaluate yourself effectively and honestly you are going to have a difficult time progressing successfully, as you could be starting on a false premise where you do not have the capability to be successful.

A great question to ask yourself early on is, “do you have the time, energy and funding in order to make your business work?” Every business takes a combination of those three factors. You can have better funding than Donald Trump, but if you do not have the time and energy to implement a plan to effectively spend that money you will waste efficiency and opportunity. If you have money and energy but no time, you may have a tough time getting anything accomplished because running a business takes time! Even if you have all the time and money in the world, if you lack the energy and initiative you will not be as effective in starting your business right? As you can see, you need all of these factors working together in order to make your business work.

How does a new business owner begin this planning stage? You should start by sitting down with a pen and paper and doing some honest assessment. Start writing things out, beginning with who you are and also your statement of purpose. Who are you, and what are you doing? “Bob’s Batman Supplies. Bringing you the finest in utility belt apparel, at an affordable cost.”

Since Bob’s Batman Supplies is going to focus on fine apparel at affordable cost, the overriding goals should be to discern the best suppliers for fine goods, and to find pathways to bring those supplies to customers at low prices. Listing out possible suppliers for your needs is important, and you also must list the strengths and weaknesses of each. Obviously, reducing overhead costs as much as possible is important in finding the most affordable costs, so you will want to brainstorm and write out ideas to reduce costs.

Every business needs to literally sit down and think things through and plan things out, constantly evaulating where it stands and where the business plans on going. This first brainstorming period is necessary to get started in whatever home based business you choose.

Realistically, you will need to build a business plan that takes all of your strengths, weaknesses and resources into account. You need to look at both the present and the future as well. Sit down and spend some time writing out what you do and do not have in your favor, and what you can and cannot do, and of course how you are going to go about doing it. If you take the time to organize and build your business plan, positive future results will be much more likely. As Alan Lakein once said, “Failing to plan is planning to fail!”
