Posted on April 26, 2015 by bermanevansretail
Looking to make your blog as good and effective as possible? Then, consider the 50 tips in the infographic below.
The infographic was developed by Cent for Your Escape from 9 to 5:
“There are plenty of blogging tips all over the Web. Unfortunately, they are all spread across multiple Web sites. I wanted to create a list of awesome blogging tips from the experts all in one place. I chose 5 expert bloggers, picked 10 of their best tips, and came up with a list of 50 of the best blogging tips. These blogging tips will be useful for beginners and pros alike. I chose the experts with varying perspectives, so the tips are not focused on the same area or too generic. For example, one expert provides blogging tips for a business blog, another provides tips to improve Web site traffic, and another provides quick blog improvement tips.”

Pricing in Action: Discount Wedding Dresses

Posted on April 23, 2015 by bermanevansretail
Discount prices are still a major competitive advantage, even as global economies emerge from the Great Recession.
One deep discounter is Bootleg Betty, located in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Bootleg Betty reports that:
According to a report published by The Knot in 2014, the average wedding dress cost $1,281 in 2013. At the moment, the average price of a wedding dress at Bootleg Betty is $457. That’s right…just $457…saving the average bride $824 on her wedding dress by shopping at Bootleg Betty.”
“We can think of at least a thousand better things to do with $824 than overpay for your wedding dress, like buy plane tickets for your honeymoon, pay for your wedding cake AND favors, or enjoy a $70 date night every month for the first year you are married. So get down to Bootleg Betty and check out our wedding dresses at 30-60% below retail.”
Here’s a Bootleg Betty YouTube video.
