Atricle Dump - How to Choose the Right Paper - Part 2
Your definition may differ, but I define a lapsed donor as someone who has not donated to your organization within the last year, two years or three years. Donors who have not sent you a gift in over three years are not lapsed donors. They are former donors.Lapsed donors are valuable. Unlike strangers, they have supported you before. And they believe in your mission enough to have sent you a gift (or gifts). That means they are worth mailing to. You can expect to receive an 11 percent response rate from a mailing to lapsed donors if your results are typical, says fundraising expert Kent Dove (Conducting a Successful Fundraising Program. Jossey-Bass, 2001).Here are some tips on writing an appeal letter that will win them back. In the fund development profession, the letter you write is called a recovery letter because it aims to recover donors who have lapsed.1. Write to one personYou will likely not know why each donor has lapsed. Donors stop giving for any number of reasons. Some forget. Some lo

The ‘Spirit of Service’ Award is given to uniquely deserving teams and individuals who go way beyond the call of duty to serve, aid or comfort the heart of another human being.One worthy winner is an unnamed night nurse in the maternity ward of a nearby hospital.A new father wrote to me with this report:‘My experience at the hospital was very positive. I was staying over with my wife after the delivery. One night I had a headache (maybe from the lack of sleep and being a first-time parent). I asked one of the staff for a pain reliever. She gave me a neck rubdown for a few minutes instead! That really made me feel better, and no need for medication. I was impressed that the staff went out of her way to satisfy a “customer”, even when I wasn’t the baby or the mother. Is that good customer service or what?’You bet it is! Three key characteristics of an ‘UP Your Service Mindset’ are: abundant generosity, genuine compassion and seeing the world from your customer’s point of view. Whoever she is, this night nurse at the hospita
In part 1 of this article, we talked about the economy of the design, style and finish, and here in Part 2, are three more priorities to consider when making your selection.
Color and Brightness
There is white, white and white. And let no one tell you anything different. Papers are available in blue-white, balanced white, natural white, soft white -- you name it.
Blue-whites, which are very popular at the moment, have a higher-brightness and allow colors to stand out, while warmer whites, which have a lower-brightness, are more comfortable on the eyes for reading or extended viewing.

When a young man or woman joins the military, they are making a commitment to serve their country. When an employee is hired onto your staff, they should be making a commitment to serve the good of the company.However – there’s one glaring difference between the business world and the military. When you join the Army, Air Force, Navy, or Marines, they make sure that they first strip you of bad habits and negative character traits that you possess before they train you to be a winner in the greatest military on Earth.In the business world, you hire someone on as is – and you often cross your fingers and hope they possess the skills you need them to have. There’s a level of boundaries you must adhere to – you can’t yell at your new-hire to get a move on like a drill sergeant can.But there are ways you can employ tactics to get your new-hires or existing employees to fall in line and act in the same manner a highly trained soldier would – with the skills and respect necessary to give 110% toward the success of the business.D

Once you’ve made the choice to promote your business with engraved or printed keyrings, you have to start looking at keyring materials. There are three basic types of printed keyring textiles – metal, plastic and leather. There are hybrids as well, like those that contain metal and leather as well as metal and plastic. Which is best for your business?Very Small BudgetIf you need a lot of promotional items and a very small budget, you may think keyrings are out of your price range. Not so, but you may have to settle for a keyring with fewer features.The least expensive printed keyring is the mini ad loop keyring. A soft, flexible plastic loop holds your message while a sturdy metal ring holds the users keys. These are great for hanging keys on hooks at front entry ways. You can order these printed key rings with a single color imprint. There’s a massive range of color choices for both the loops and closures.If you like the look and feel of hard plastic printed keyrings, you can find a plethora of choices that fit in

Most bound documents last longer than unbound documents. Binding is a procedure by which pages and cover of a book are bound together through a strip sewn over or along an edge of a book for strengthening or decoration. Current binding processes are done mostly with machines rather than manually, for greater efficiency and better finishing.A binding machine may work with a manual punch or electric punch. Manual punch is frequently used for small and medium volume jobs, whereas electric punch is used for medium and large volume jobs.Manufacturing speed, visual appeal of finished product and number of pages per bind will decide which binding technology is best suited for a particular application. Electric binding machines are efficient and mostly give higher quality binding.There are two ways in which binding knots function, friction type and knotted ends type. Binding knots go by once around a stack of papers and they are kept in place by friction caused among the windings of the line that goes by over top of other winding. Bindi

This is the second part of creating your own business card. If you missed the first one, let me know: mailto:webmistress@janes-place.comClick in the box, where you want your text to appear.Type in your text. Make sure the text is where you want it. For example, in my card the bottom text wasn't under my logo. To put it under the logo, I highlighted the text I wanted under the logo and clicked on the left button on the tool bar.You can change the font, by going to the 'Format Menu' and choosing 'Font'. Choose your Font size and the type of Font you want. Click 'ok'. NOTE: Be sure you choose a Font that is easily read. If you don't, you may as well not have a business card.NOTE: If you create your card and don't like the way it looks, you can undo the changes, by going to the 'Edit Menu' and choose 'Undo'. You can also highlight the area you want to do over and undo it the same way.If you create your Business Card with a URL or Email, be sure to turn off the h
As you can imagine, not every white fits every purpose. Don’t print warmer tones, such as skin tones, on a blue white sheet. It can easily make healthy-looking people look grey. This is what warmer white papers are made for.
Brightness
Yes, there is a definite hype going on when it comes to brightness. Don’t get hung up on finding the brightest paper because even when two sheets are placed next to each other, you won’t see a two-point difference in brightness.
Originally, AF&PA standards for paper grades determined that a No. 2 sheet had a brightness of 83-84 and a No. 3 sheet’s brightness was 80-83.
So, why do we see No. 3 sheets with brightness levels of over 90 these days? Let’s just say, brightness is not the only paper mill concern anymore and a sheet is whatever a manufacturer chooses
