October is “Self-Promotion Month”, according to NationalDayCalendar.com. This “Month” was started by Debbie Allen, an international self-employed business speaker. By the nature of her business, she must promote herself in order to make a living. Based on her philosophy, we offer these tips on promoting yourself, if you are an entrepreneur.

  1. Keep your eyes open to new ideas. Other people can give you tips on how to promote your business better.
  2. Ask your customers to refer you to their friends. Don’t be shy about this.
  3. Make new contacts. Join the chamber of commerce and go to all their business parties.
  4. Be an opportunist. If you sense a deal, jump on it. If you sell only donuts, and some of your customers ask about peanuts, get into the peanut business, also.

    You already have a captive audience. If you give them what they want, you will increase the size of your business.

  5. Improve yourself in your personal life, and that success will carry over into your business life. Examples are joining the church choir, developing a hobby, volunteering with civic groups.
  6. Pass out engraved flashlights with your company logo. They will last a lifetime, and so will the name of your company.

 

Engraved Flashlights Just Entered the Era of Technology

Flashlights aren’t what they used to be. Do you remember the big old ones of the 1950’s? They had an incandescent bulb and 2 D batteries. The bulbs would burn out once in a while, the batteries would leak and destroy the flashlight. Or you would drop it and break the glass lens.

Then came the 6 volt lantern batteries and the accompanying lantern flashlights. They were very bright and would last a long time. But, same old incandescent bulb.

Then in 1979 Anthony Maglica invented and manufactured Maglites. This flashlight had a rugged aluminum barrel, and was well built. Still it had the same old incandescent bulb.

The era of technology then drove Mr. Maglica to change the bulb (and the accompanying circuitry) to the LED bulb. I don’t know the year of this change.

Now, in 2021, Some engraved flashlights use COB bulbs, which are even brighter than LED bulbs. And some circuits even make it possible to have different light levels, flashing, strobing, and SOS blinking.

Flashlights have come a long way since the 1950’s. Let’s remember this on January 6, National Technology Day.
