Add a Personal Touch to Your Correspondence

Posted by Guest - October 3rd, 2011

When you send any kind of business correspondence to a customer, vendor or
business associate, you want your message to be memorable. One of the ways to
create a lasting impression is to add a personal but professional touch to all
of your correspondence with personalized stationary and mailing labels.

Letterhead

Your letters will stand out more if you surround your text with a template
that will get the recipient’s attention. Have personalized letterhead
created that uses your company’s contact information, your name and your
company logo. It adds an air of professionalism to your correspondence as well
as creating a correspondence format that reminds the recipient about your business.

Remember to add your company motto at the bottom of your letterhead in quotation
marks. A catchy slogan will give customers something to remember you by.

Address Labels

When you are trying to personalize your business correspondence, you need to take
advantage of every element of your letter. One area where you can continue your
personalization is with recipient mailing labels and return address labels.

Have customized recipient labels printed that will allow you to put your
recipient’s name and address on something that stands out. Try something
as simple as having your company logo as a background watermark on your mailing
labels. That way you can clearly print the recipient’s name and address
on the label while still maintaining the personalized theme of the letter.

A return address label with your company name and logo on it can add another layer
of professionalism to your letter that will grab the recipient’s attention
before he or she even opens it. The use of brilliant colors will enhance the
personalized look of your return address labels and clearly announce who is
sending the letter.

To gain more market share in your industry, you need to take every opportunity for
your business to stand out. Personalized business correspondence lets your recipient
know that you take your company’s image seriously and that your company is worth
the additional attention. It helps to create anticipation for your correspondence and
gives your letters a higher sense of credibility.

PHP Error Running WordPress on Godaddy Hosting

Posted by Dewain Johnson - August 4th, 2011

Here’s a quick fix for any of you trying to update to WordPress 3.2.1 on a Godaddy shared hosting account. When you go to do the automatic update, you may see an error stating that you cannot upgrade to 3.2.1 due to the fact that your server is not running PHP 5. There’s a really simple fix. Simply edit your .htaccess file and add this line of code to the file just before the “# End WordPress” line:

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

Once you add that bit of code, you should be able to get 3.2.1 (as well as future versions and iterations of Wordpess), up and running. Enjoy.
