Going International: A Marketing Strategies Conference.

An information program sponsored by the National Student Marketers Association 

Are you ready to go global?

Recent research has shown that over half of medium-sized firms are looking to expand their business into the overseas market within the next five years. Is your business one of the majority? You may think you have all the tools necessary to go global, or that your product can sell itself-no matter what part of the world it's in. It has been proven, time and time again that our successful strategies for domestic marketing are, all too often, a tremendous failure when used abroad. That's the reason so many companies have failed, and that is the reason you should know better than to follow in their footsteps. The National Student Marketers Association is sponsoring a must-see event for any business owner planning to expand their product lines internationally.

The two-day conference will enlighten you and your employees on the following topics:

-Spotting your weaknesses ... before your customers do!

-Understanding culture - and using it to your advantage.

-Legal and taxation issues. Don't let your company suffer!

-Dealing with international customers. How to execute appropriate service plans.

-Developing & implementing a global marketing strategy. 

If you are a small or mid-sized firm owner or CEO, you must attend this conference! Cost is $250 per person. Discounts are available for groups of 3 or more. Total includes six meals and all materials. Visit www.NSMA org to register. Space is limited, so sign up today!

Hi Rica,

I have something you may be interested in. It relates to solo travel, which has become increasingly popular lately. To keep up with this growing trend, we would like to feature a review of a cruise that offers solo travel in our next issue. Would you be willing to take this assignment? Naturally, we will cover all expenses. Since we are pressed for time, you will have to sign up as soon as possible. Your review would be published in the September issue, so we would need the first draft by August 13.

Let me know if this is possible.

Planet Voyage September Issue
The Solo Traveler: Seabird Ocean Liners
By Rica Foust

Seabird Ocean Liners offers getaways from Los Angeles to a variety of destinations on the West Coast of North America. I booked myself a three-night cruise from Los Angeles to Baja, and must say that the experience was well worth the cost of the trip. The rooms were modern, comfortable, and spacious for a cruise ship. Housekeeping was exceptional and my stateroom was always clean.

Although smaller than some cruise liners, the vessel I took boasts a modest pool, a restaurant, and a recreational deck. Because of the vessel's size, I found it easy to get the crew's attention and to get to know my fellow passengers. In fact, I made several new friends on the trip. If you're not the outgoing type, the crew organizes fun activities designed to help passengers relax around one another. Now, whether your goal as a solo traveler is to enjoy time alone or to meet new people, I think you will be satisfied with the overall experience. Taken against the backdrop of Baja's beautiful scenery, it was one I will remember for years to come.

MUSICAL RECORDINGS BY: SHAWNA KRALL

Midsummer Day's Dream
Krall's first recorded album from the 1980s is a collection of mostly self-written songs, with some composed by collaborator Ken Lewes. The album sold 3.5 million copies and propelled Krall to fame.

Listen Here
In her second album, Krall collaborated again with Ken Lewes, and two songs they wrote together became number one hits. The album's strong social commentary appealed to many fans.

The Temptation
Many called Krall's third album her best work yet, citing the interesting musical arrangements and intelligent lyrics written by Ken Lewes. Despite receiving the most critical acclaim, the album sold only moderately well and "Bright Days Ahead" was the sole song on it to make the top ten list.

Little Thoughts
After taking a break from the industry, Krall came back with this reflective album. Critical reviews were mixed, but fans appreciated its similarity to some of Krall's early work. The album sold 28 million copies, and all songs were written in collaboration with Ken Lewes.

On The Whole: For her fifth release, Krall has re-recorded ten of her most famous songs with a live orchestra. The album contains two new songs written by Krall and Lewes.

Dear Ms. Oliver,

I produce and direct documentary programs for The Music Network. I am currently working on preparations for a series about popular musicians that have been culturally influential. We hope to interview many artists like Ms. Krall on our show. I missed your livestream interview with Ms. Krall but caught the episode on its next showing and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was very impressed with your rapport with Ms. Krall.

I am looking to cast an interviewer for our series. My colleagues and I would like to know if you would be interested in filling this role. If so, I can provide you with further details.

Regards,

Brian Rivers
