Coventry has had a very tough year in 2009 on the economic front with some heavy job losses. The city has been through tough times before in its history and “risen from the ashes” both literally and metaphorically.

Coventry has been and still is a centre of excellence for engineering and manufacturing in the automotive industry, aerospace and other engineering disciplines. It also has two excellent universities with world class reputations. For example, Coventry University has an automotive design faculty that has produced some of the top transport designers in the world. These alumni have become top designers in Formula 1 Motor Racing and are leading the way at Jaguar Land Rovers design studios in Coventry. The Eurostar train was designed by a Coventry design graduate. The University of Warwick which was Coventry’s first university is highly sought after by students from all over the world. It has world class research facilities in engineering and medical technologies. Both universities provide the academic training for The University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.

Between the universities and the various National Health Service hospitals and medical centres, they employ over 20,000 people in the city.

The economy in Coventry is getting through the recession and there are still plenty of customers in this city of 320,000 people. They have money to spend but are being very discerning in how they spend it and are shopping around to get value for money.

No longer do consumers and businesses in Coventry just look in the local paper or the phone book when they want to spend money. They are using the internet first and looking for value from businesses that have a significant presence on the World Wide Web.

This is where businesses must be. To be available to customers 24 hours a day, a shop window that never has the blinds pulled down. Sure there is still value in printed marketing but the recycling bins are full of old newspapers and flyers. There are some fine publications in Coventry to advertise in but they all end up in the bin after a very short life. You can close a webpage but it will still be available tomorrow.

Advertising with Activ Coventry gives you a 12 month presence on the most comprehensive online guide to Coventry. During this time you can be in control of your marketing with a few keystrokes and mouse clicks. Yes our customers are given control but we are always there to help if needed. So Coventry is still a great place to do business and there are some exciting developments on the horizon.

Spyker Cars are about to start production of their stunning range of high performance sports cars in February 2010 in Coventry. These cars are sought after around the globe and have not suffered during the recession, quite the opposite.

Modec are at the cutting edge of electric vehicle technology and make their range of electric vans here in Coventry. President Barack Obama recently announced that Navistar would receive a federal grant of $39.2 million in government stimulus funding from the Department of Energy to develop and build all-electric trucks. This is joint venture with Modec and will secure jobs in Coventry and possibly lead to new jobs, fantastic news.

Everyone’s heard about EBay, of course, the online marketplace where you can buy and sell goods of all shapes and sizes. What more and more people are realising, however, is that EBay and sites like it (such as Amazon Auctions and Craigslist) can be more than just an online flea market – they can be a way to begin a very profitable home based business via the internet. You can sell used good, buy goods at wholesale prices, and use a drop-shipping service to source and supply your products.

Of course, like any other home based internet business, you need a few tips to get started if you want to have a real chance of making serious money and having your auction selling becoming a real viable business opportunity.

Research is a valuable tool. If you are intending to sell goods on EBay or any other online marketplace, it is not just advisable but essential to peruse the sites first and work out what price other people are selling similar goods for; there’s not a lot of point in selling your goods at a set price if fifty other sellers are offering it for considerably less. No one’s going to be making you rich that way.

Research can also tell you how much interest there is in the kinds of goods you plan to sell – items that are continually listed, with zero bids, are clearly not exactly selling like hot cakes, so why would you want to distribute those?

Another tool is to avoid the ‘bidding’ option entirely and use the straightforward “Buy it Now” alternative; then EBay or whatever place you are using becomes not so much an auction site as simply an online store where you set the price.

It is very important to research shipping costs before you put your item or items up for sale. There is very little point in setting a price for your goods, only to then find that the cost of shipping (be it nationally or internationally) means that you are earning nothing or, even worse, actually putting you out of pocket when you should be making profits. Do a little homework – pre-package your item, measure it, weigh it, and be certain how much it will cost to ship and include that in the overall price.

The other main question if you are planning to sell goods on EBay or other auction sites, is of course – what should you sell in the first place? If you just want to get a little extra pocket money, then there’s almost certainly some old junk around the house that you don’t want anymore, but someone else might.

If you want to make a regular business out of internet selling, on the other hand, that’s a different matter. Think of your hobbies, or your skills. What could you offer, on a consistent basis, that people would be willing to pay for? Other options include buying products wholesale and then selling on these sites for a profit.

The best advice, as is always the case with any home based business, is to find a niche and exploit it to the full. You’ll never be able to take on big business in the short term, but if you can find a small niche which you can be the big fish in, you’ll have a much greater chance of making real money via EBay and auction selling.

“Reach out and touch someone.”

“The ultimate driving machine.”

“Finger lickin’ good.”

Chances are, you not only know immediately that those slogans come from AT&T, BMW and KFC, in that order. Those catchphrases may also very well have persuaded someone you know to place more long-distance calls, purchase a particular brand of car and decide where to stop for supper.

Such slogans truly influence customers, and that’s why you want one for your own company.

First, Make Them Up

Begin by brainstorming a lot of words related to your business – at least 50 of them. Nouns, verbs, adjectives, phrases – just keep going and going until you have a long, disorganized list.

Next think in general terms about what you want to say – the motivating message you want to get across to current and potential customers. Focus, so that it’s something specific rather than something any competitor might say. Note that the BMW slogan works as well as it does because it’s not a statement Toyota or Ford wants to make. Likewise, a burger place that caters to parents and children probably wouldn’t want to use the idea of licking fingers in its motto.

Now combine the words and refine the combinations until they sing and dance on the page. Don’t stop when you get one slogan that feels really catchy – keep on going. Play around with the wording so some are funny, some are serious, some are weird or edgy and some are homey.

Second, Choose the Best

Look through your catchphrase candidates and identify up to five that seem most promising. We’ll now run them through a few crucial tests.

Is the slogan fresh and original? Don’t poach phrases that have already been used, like American Express’s “Membership has its privileges” or Nike’s “Just do it.” That diminishes your business and might even land you in legal trouble.

Does the slogan pass the telephone test? That is, if someone heard it without seeing it, would they understand what it means? Will people understand what you mean without a whole lot of context or a long story? If seen on a truck whizzing by at 70 miles per hour, would it make sense? Your answer to all these questions should be yes. If not, cross out that candidate or tinker to improve it.

Is the tone right? Think about your customer base, and make sure the personality of the slogan matches what they expect from your company. A bank that wants to appear solid and traditional normally wouldn’t use slang or a sing-song rhythm, while a club for twenty-something singles probably wants wording that hops and excites rather than cool, understated elegance.

Is the message clear and unambiguous? Test your favorites on people who haven’t heard them yet, who resemble your customers and who may not know much about your business. Ask them what each slogan conveys to them. If they don’t get it, or if they get a negative message or one you weren’t intending, that’s a big minus for that slogan.

Sometimes we have to nix options that almost make it but have something tricky or wrong about them. If one of your candidates communicates positively and clearly to all your testers, you have a winner.

Third, Use It!

Now it’s time to use your chosen catchphrase everywhere. Put it on your web site, on T-shirts, on pens, in ads, on invoices, on sales material, on shop windows, even on the walls of your rest rooms. If you’ve chosen well, your catchphrase sticks in people’s minds and reminds them over and over again why you’re the one they want to buy from.

You make dozens of choices as a marketer on every campaign. All pulled by the natural tension between truth and manipulation. How innovative should we call our newest feature? How easy should we make our new user interface seem? And so on and so on. Fundamentally, how big should our promises be?

The easy choice: don’t be at the extremes-

Monk-like truth: We’re ABC printing company, brand new, inexperienced and desperate for our first customer, so, we’re under-pricing our product to get our first few customers!

Predator-like manipulation: We’re ABC printing company, brand new, you’ll love our experience, we have the lowest price in town, guaranteed, and if you aren’t happy with your job, we’ll give you your money back.

But if the extremes are bad, where in the middle is good?

I bump up against these two concepts every day, and for a long time, since my IBM selling days. If you were caught disparaging a competitor you got fired. That was as much a part of our culture as our white shirts. Excuse me, as our starched white shirts.

With IBM, is was simple because they took the choice away; cross the line and you’d be fired. But it isn’t that easy for you or for me today because we have temptations choices, lots of them. So, how do you decide? Simple, you say, be honest. Of course, I say, we’re good, honest people. Yet, the monk might shake his head at some of your sales copy and the predator will likely sometimes think you’re a pansy for using such limp-wristed nursery rhythms.

How do you decide? Usually, you write it, read it and do a gut check. Does it over-promise, do you feel uncomfortable, does it portray your company the way you want to be seen? This works.

But let me suggest two additional ways to decide where along the monk - predator continuum to strive for.

Merlin Mann characterizes this natural tension by comparing our attempts to communicate along a continuum: connecting with shared truth (the monk); or pushing people toward forgetting who they are (the predator). His prescription for success is sending a message that connects with the truth you share with your audience in the context of what you are selling, as opposed to creating discord (pushing people to forget who they are so that the solution you offer solves the discord).

I say: find out what is important to your customer, today, in the context of what you are selling, and connect that to your product or service in a positive, authentic manner. If you don’t understand what is important to your customer and how what you sell fits into that equation, what do you do? You simply pull the old manipulative tricks out of the bag. It’s lazy. It’s wrong. And it simply isn’t as effective as authenticity.

Beefy stuff! But hey, this is important. When I wake up at night, and it’s just me and my thoughts, nothing else, I want that grumbling in my stomach to be hunger, not guilt. Plus, I believe positive authenticity, what Mann characterizes as connecting to the shared truth, creates more sales in the mid- and long-term. You are creating relationships, not just sales, and relationships are the most difficult barriers to entry into a market there are. Here is a talk he gave (long!) where he makes these points along with about a million others (that’s part of the package). I urge you to watch/listen to it and if it resonates with you, to follow his posts.

No, this is not a kumbaya moment. No, I wouldn’t secretly rather be a minister or save poor people. It’s the ethical thing to do and it’s also more effective.
