Electric Horseman Are Getting Attention

 Another flyer came in my mailbox yesterday about a horse show. After quickly glancing at it, I threw it in the pile of magazines and "stuff" to be read at a later date.

I'm sure the content was carefully thought out to provide the information about the show classes and the printer spent time balancing the copy so that it was pleasing to the eye. It was printed on quality stock and had a mailing label neatly attached. It was mailed well in advance of the show date.

I spent little time looking at it because it was in living black and white and was just, yawn, boring. Don't misunderstand, printed black and white promotional material conveys the message adequately, if you can get my attention to read it.

Get my attention. That is a challenge for all people in business today. How do we get our customers' and prospects' attention?

Don't try to sell using "The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet" programming when the customer expects "Desperate Housewives".

Try putting some wow in your marketing for your: lesson program, training clinics, horses for sale, summer riding camp, horse show, Pony Club event by using an electronic approach. Gather e-mail addresses and start a newsletter like this one to stay in contact with your group. Add photos of last year's event to your horse show flyer. We love to see our pictures. Add links to your newsletter to your website for more information.

Remember that black and white flyer on my pile? If that flyer had come to me electronically, I would have been able to click on links to:

a website to see photos of the past event
read more information about the show including testimonials of past show participants
see a photo of the stabling available
mapquest to see how far away the show is
see availability for overnight lodging
read about the food available at the show and about the best place for dinner that serves tired, slightly horsey smelling diners
download an entry form in pdf format
have someone call me or answer a question via e-mail
read a list of vendors at the show
know who the farrier and vet on call are
You get the idea. Going electronic with your business marketing will give your business or event the excitement it needs to stand out from the hypnotic effect of black and white printed marketing. If you are trying to attract customers with Ozzie Nelson's three page manual on marketing maybe it's time to create a new buzz with colored fonts, e-mailed announcements, color photographs, a website with more information.

How can I help? Shout, call or e-mail me. Just DON'T write me a letter. Neither of us has time for that any more.

Want To Be An Electrician?

The electrician is one of the most respected of the tradesmen in our society. The understanding and harnessing of electricity has changed the world like few other things. The loss of electricity would plunge the world back into darkness. Most people are involved with electricity to the degree that they insert a plug into a wall socket or throw a switch. Making sure the right thing happens when they do this is the job of the trained electrician. So, how does one become an electrician?

The path to a career as an electrician usually runs through an apprenticeship program of some type. The apprenticeship program will consist of a mix of on-the-job training and formal classroom instruction. The average apprenticeship program will run about 4 years. The classroom training usually amounts to roughly 144 hours of instruction. So, it is obvious that the majority of learning takes place on the job. This is not unexpected as the electrician is much more involved in the hands on work of installing and maintaining electrical systems than in understanding the theory behind them.

This is not to say that the theory part is unimportant or unnecessary. The aspiring electrician is going to need a minimum of a high school education or GED. It is important to have math skills and a good command of English. Electricians often work from manuals, so reading and comprehension skills are needed. The ability to solve math problems and understand blueprints are essential electrician skills. These skills must be acquired before beginning the apprenticeship program. Classroom training within the apprenticeship program shows how to apply these skills to the work place. It also includes teaching how to use testing equipment, and even includes first aid training.

Many trade unions and contractor associations sponsor vocational schools to prepare electricians. This is an alternative to the apprenticeship approach. At the vocational school, the aspiring electrician completes the classroom portion of their preparation first. Graduates are usually hired as beginning electricians, generally at a higher rate of pay.

A person may select to go through an apprenticeship program or attend a vocational school. The electrician can look forward to good financial compensation and quite a bit of job security. The job is demanding, however, and is not for careless people. School guidance counselors, local contractor associations, and even trained electricians can give advice on the best ways to prepare yourself in your local area.
