Have you made your mark on Mr.Case's brain?

Today is the day before a long weekend, and personally I cant wait! For one reason, I have three days[Friday is my day off] to work on my summatives and try to complete most of them, as they are due the following week. And for two, I can use my free time to just relax a little, because there has been so much pressure lately, I've been short on sleep. But on the long run, I am very excited because the end of the school year is just four weeks away, and I cant wait for a long two month summer of relaxing and having fun!
Today in class, we talked about another way in which we can advertise our business other than a business card and letter. Something people wont throw away, or lose, or not care about. Its a brochure. It is a great way to talk about your business in a more detailed, yet simple manner. Brochure is next to being as effective as a web page, because business cards can get lost, and they don't contain much information about your business. A letter will usually end up in the garbage. But a site can be accessed anytime, and will provide the reader with a lot of information. Just like a brochure. We learned how to make our own brochure for our business on Microsoft Publisher 2003. *HINT: If you want to get a better mark, try not to use the templates, because Mr.Case has seen them all. And if you are absolutely stuck and cant make your own brochure, use the templates, but change things around to make it more like your own- unique and attractive.*
It is also a good idea to first make your brochure and then your website, because your brochure will contain everything your website will. So an easy way is to get all the information for your brochure, and once your done, you can simply copy and paste your brochure information onto your website. However, if you are REALLY lazy and cant even be bothered to copy and paste the information, what you can do is save a second copy of your brochure as a web page, and that will make it into a website. But if you do that, you might want to go into dream weaver and edit your site, because what might sometimes happen is that when you save your work as a web page, it might get messed up. Another key to a successful business is if you use a domain for your email rather than something@hotmail.com or something@gmail.com or anything like that. Your business will look more professional if it is something@somethingcool.com , it will be remembered more easily, and will be easier to access.
Here comes the hard part, the due date. Start thinking from now how you are going to present your information. Think about it, if you hand in a pile of disorganized paper, that has food stains everywhere and looks like your dog might have taken a bite out of it, do you think Mr.Case will take it seriously? Most likely, no. You want to try and make yours the best and most outstanding. Try to put all your information into a nice binder or folder or anything else, so that it will make its own mark on Mr.Case's brain! ;]
After all, that's what business is all about- COMPETITION!
Have a great loooooooong weekend!
