Booklet printing is used for a variety of commercial purposes. People print booklets to make training manuals, travel guides, program overviews, pamphlets and many other things.
The booklet is nimble, perfect for use in a variety of industries because of its readily distributable nature as well as the ease with which people can read them. Since booklet printing can be done in several different ways you may be daunted as to how to create particular full color booklets for a certain type of task. Do not worry, there are several general guidelines you can adhere to to produce efficient and quality booklets.
Below are 5 easy tips to take in consideration whenprint booklets? Why seven you ask? Well we judged that these are the key guides that encompass all the jobs a booklet has to deliver. It is not as hard to remember as the Ten Commandments. Think of it as the 5 habits of highly effective booklet making that will make your life easier.
( 1 ). Booklet templates. The most efficient way in designing a booklet is by using a template. Templates already have the proper formatting and style which you can use. More often than not, there are several booklet templates out there for the different kinds of booklets that people can create. Booklet printing services can also offer a few booklet templates themselves for you to choose from. Using these templates save time. This frees you from concentrating on the main purpose of the booklet which is the content.
( 2 ). Write concisely and well. A booklet is not a novel. It is a "small book" hence the name right? Try to convey your thoughts clearly with a constant style. You can of course be flowery with your words, but not at the expense of lengthening the booklet. Booklet printing is about having an easily read material for everyone. So write as simple and effective as possible.
( 3 ). Use headings and subheadings. Headings and subheadings are the major markers for a booklet. Don't be afraid to use them. It is actually better for readers to have these headings. This gives them the chance to skip to the information they find most interesting. For a theatrical program for example, some people want directly to read about the cast and characters. You can even try to be memorable and use interesting tag lines as headings.
( 4 ). Use simple easy to read fonts. Some people think it is cute to use different styles but this can affect the readability of the booklet. Use a relatively simple and easy to decipher font for most of the content. Use a theme if possible and be consistent when using it.
( 5 ). Add pictures and graphics. A booklet full of text isn't very fun to look at. Even if it is a training manual, realize that a picture can paint a thousand words. Besides describing something in a booklet why not show it? Use images as well to improve the look and feel of the booklet. Add in dividers or borders. Place "clip arts" if applicable and of course have an eye-catching cover picture.
Those should be the bare basics you should remember when making a booklet. They are a quick reference guide to help you create any kind of booklet you desire. Of course there are other specific things you can do, but these five will lead you to have a decent and respectable booklet ready to print.

---> Survive The Recession <---
"In a recession all small business owners need to be alert, keeping a watchful eye on their enterprise.
So what should they be keeping an eye on?
What is most important?
If your answer is "sales" or "turnover" or profit", you are wrong! The most important is "cash".
It could be foolish or illegal to trade without profit but it is impossible to trade without cash.
"As recession starts to bite there will be casualties; weak or vulnerable businesses will go bust.
"Amazingly profitable businesses with robust business models will also go bust; despite their sound business, it will be the lack of cash that pushes them over the edge.
"So how do you increase your profits during a recession? Most small business owners will say "The best way to increase profits is to sell more, do more marketing, make more sales"... "by reducing prices we can win more business".
"Invariably incorrect. This is the method to turn into a busy fool. Do yourself and your family a huge favour! Relax and use 10 minutes playing with the numbers. (or ask an accountant to do this with you). Look at how much additional revenue is generated by a 5% or a 10% price increase. It may be 30 or 40%. Yes, you might lose some business, but overall it's likely your revenue will be higher....., your workload will be reduced.
"Pay attention to the value you offer to your clients/customers, this can be making things handy for them, providing quality, offering excellent customer service - all these services matter to customers much more than just cost.
"So getting back to what matters you need a system to tell you what your position is - to forecast if you are going to run out of it, we are talking of course about the Crosby, Stills and Nash', the 'for mash get smash', the 'Arthur Ashe', the 'bangers and mash', the 'jumping Jack Flash': that's right - cash.
You require some up to date accounts - every week, or at the very least once a month (not once a year) -it's your duty to know what you owe, how much you are owed, how much you have got and how much you are going to need. The accounts will provide you with a snapshot of the financial health of the business and its profitability.
2. Do a cash-flow forecast - think carefully about how often you need this, every quarter/month/week. Failure to do often enough to keep you in control is inexcusable. Your accountant can help you or you can find a book on Amazon, also find or build a simple excel spreadsheet that you can use to track your cashflow.
3. Clarify all terms in your initial contract and on all invoices.
4. Assess new customers for credit worthiness - you can easily check it on the internet - and assess them until they have proved to be reliable.
5. Have a system for invoicing, following-up and collection. Be reasonable but be firm. Speak to your debtors. Listen. Be clear and be determined. It is your money that they owe you. Here's a basic version of the procedure we use:
---> Day 1: Issue invoice as soon as work has been completed
---> Day 7: Phone up to confirm receipt of invoice with the right person; confirm that you can expect the invoice paid on the appropriate date.
---> Day 14: Polite email if no payment received "We are sure that payment is on its way to us but just in case it has been overlooked"
---> Day 20: Phone call "re outstanding payment", asking when it was due to be paid.
---> Day 25: Send a letter outlining the communication to date (including their so-called promises to pay) and explain that you can call within 48 hours to find out how the issue will be resolved
---> Day 27: Phone to confirm payment has/is going to be made and when it can be expected.
---> Day 30: Send letter including the 'Statement of Account' and 'Terms and Conditions' they agreed to and saying what you intend to do next.
The 'what to do next' bit can be difficult. You should weigh up how much the client is worth for you , and how they may respond. You can say you will refer the issue to a lawyer, and a straightforward lawyer letter shouldn't cost much. After that it may be time to threaten Court action, or to issue a statutory demand (the form can be found on some websites and costs free). You might come to a decision that the client is valuable to you, and you would choose to give a little longer. Keep in mind though - that is your money!
"The whole procedure teaches your customer that you mean business and that you are not the supplier to string along. Most of the time, it is the case that if they are allowed to take advantage - they will!
If you are polite and firm, and clarify that you are purely following the process they signed up for, then they'll normally understand.
"If it is a problem, think twice if you want trade with an organisation that doesn't keep its word and tries to keep hold of money that belongs to you!
6. Keep cash on your hand as long as you can. Here is the other side of the coin! You could delay payments owed to your suppliers. Bargain more favorable payment terms & conditions. Understand that not paying suppliers when cash is tight could be a very temporary way out, leading eventually to failure. If something in the business has gone wrong in the beginning eg lack of revenue, there should be information to hand to warn you that.
7. Find yourself a reliable accountant! Often, many small business owners manage to survive without profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow information on hand. But how long can you be lucky for? Choose your own danger!
So what should they be keeping an eye on?

Many cellular providers will give you the unlock code if you had been a customer of theirs, using the phone you are trying to unlock, for a certain period of time. 2. Check forums dedicated to cell phone unlocking. It's a great resource with a lot of people who are very knowledgeable. Sometimes there are special tools (such as Motorola's RSS software for iDen phones) which can unlock phones from a computer.

>---> Keep a Woman Happy <---<
Relationships between opposite sexes are very complicated, but more so for men. While it is important for both men and women to be happy in a relationship, it's common knowledge that keeping your woman happy enablesyouto live in peace.
It's important to know "how" to keep a woman happy now that you've got her. This is no time to relax or stop trying to please her. Here's some proven good advice on how to accomplish this feat:
---> 1. Do the SMALL things:Show her you appreciate and value her bynottaking her for granted. Acknowledge her role in the relationship by fulfilling your role or "doing your part." Perhaps you can take it upon yourself to . . . I don't know . . . say . . . clean out the gutters? Or something like that.
Always consider her feelings as valid, andnotas over-reactions to issues. Women's moods can change in the blink of an eye, so be in tune with her as much as possible, so that you don't end up suffering verbal or emotional punishment for "not knowing."
---> 2. Find a way to become part of her interests:Even if it's not a particular interest of yours--this will show that you care about what's important to her, and also that you love her so-o-o much, that you're willing to endure that thingjustto be with her. Trust me, she'll find it to be noble, and women love nobility in a man because it shows that you can come out of yourself after all, to show goodwill toward others. It speaks of sensitivity.
---> 3. Family is important:No woman wants to be with a man in a serious way if hedoesn'tget along with her family . . . or friends for that matter. Her parents' opinion of you makes all the difference in the world, especially her mother's. A mother's approval is validation that your girl has made a good choice. Don't be like "Eddie Haskell" from Leave It To Beaver, where it's obvious that you're sucking up and putting on a front, thinking that you're some great smooth talker, who can get on anybody's good side. This leads us right to number four on our list.
---> 4. Be yourself:This is not just some clich�. The most attractive thing to a woman about a man is his ability to just be who he is and nothing more. This says that he's confident, stable and trustworthy, not flaky. A certain arrogance and cockiness comes with this self-assuredness and it shows strength in character, which is important to any lasting relationship.
---> 5. Don't take yourself so seriously:Women appreciate a man who can be funny much more than men appreciate funny women, and it should absolutely be that way. If you can keep her laughing enough, then you've also succeeded in keeping her mood light; therefore, making itharderfor her to just . . . switch gears and bite your head off!
These are really just some common-sense pieces of advice that came from T 'Dub Jackson's theMagic of Making Upsystem. And while you're not trying to make up right now, you definitely want to know how to keep a woman happy so that you don't "have" to make up later. You should check it out and join the league of men who "live in peace" with their significant others!
It's important to know "how" to keep a woman happy now that you've got her. This is no time to relax or stop trying to please her. Here's some proven good advice on how to accomplish this feat:

Make-Up Tips For Women
Women want to look their best at all times. Skin tints, body and face highlights and concealers are the most popular sought after make-up gears. When applying make-up, the first step is cleansing the face. An exfoliation cream is used to wash off the over night oil residue. This is followed by moisturizing and toning.
The application of make-up begins after the skin is moisturized and toned. A foundation matching the skin tone is applied which is usually of lighter shade than the facial skin. The concealer covers skin blemishes and adds a little color to the other wise pale cheeks. Using loose translucent powder with a brush sets the make-up.
For mature women, this is more effective than compressed powder which accentuates lines and wrinkles. A non-frosted powder under the chin reduces sagging neck line. The shade used is slightly darker than the natural skin tone.
Cream blushes in golden almond and copper tone is gently blended from cheeks to temples to produce a soft transparent effect. Eyes are the most expressive part of the face and highlighting them with make-up is one of the simplest ways to look beautiful. For this purpose kohl pencil, eye liner and eye shadow are normally used.
Eye shadow is the most creative cosmetic. The eye make-up techniques and choice of eye shadow colors should match the color of eyes. Prior to the application of eye shadow, a neutral concealer matching the skin tone of the eyelid is applied and then the lightest eye shadow shade is applied over the entire area from lash line to brow line. This creates a smudge resistant base.
Frosted eye shadow creates a younger look but it has to be applied expertly. Usually for a better appearance which emphasizes and creates depth in eyes, the lightest shade is applied under the brow with the darker shade close to the lashes while the darkest shade is applied on the crease.
Blends of pink and grey eye shadows are normally used by mature women. A soft eye brow pencil, matching the hair color, accentuates the eyes but use of black eye brow pencil should be avoided. For glamorizing eyes for night outings, shimmer highlights are applied.
Eyes look wonderful when the eye lashes are accentuated by mascara. When using mascara, application should commence from the root of the eye lashes and then to be moved towards the tip for better results. For a softer and flattering look, brown mascara does the trick. Lips are another primary facial segment. Special attention is paid to lips while applying make-up. Initially the lips are smoothened before applying lip color.
Foundation is applied and the lips are defined by a lip liner. For thick lips, instead of lip liner a Qtip helps in the application of lip color while thinner lips look fuller with light shades. Soft matte colors in pink, berry, coral or peach make the lips appear luscious.
Make-up procedure changes with the season. During rainy season, light and sheer make-up with water proof mascara, transfer resistant lipstick and water proof foundation avoid the risk of make-up smudging. During winter season, women look more glamorous and polished by using shades such as coffee, chocolate and berry tones for cheeks and smoky shades for the eyes. Gloss and glimmer are used in plenty during the festive winter season.
In summer a dewy fresh face is possible by using the lightest touch of translucent powder and colors such as golden green for eyes with light shades of bronze on cheek bones and chin to provide a sun-tan effect.

Cinderella the Beautiful girl
Cinderella had no father or mother. She lived with her aunt who had two ugly daughters. The aunt and her daughters didn't like Cinderella because she was very beautiful. Cinderella did all the work in the house and stayed in the kitchen all day she cooked, washed the dishes and looked after the fire. She had only one dirty dress and wore it all the time. She was very unhappy.
One day the king was looking for the most beautiful girl in the land for his son, the price, to marry. She would become a princess. The king asked all the ladies in the land to come to a great dance. On the night of the dance the prince would choose his wife.
The two ugly sisters wanted to go. They wanted to marry the prince. cinderella wanted to go too, but her aunt and the ugly sisters laughed and said, ' you can't go.
On the night of the dance, after her aunt and the ugly sisters had gone to the dance, poor cinderella cried.
Suddenly cinderella saw a little old lady. She said, 'don't cry, cinderella. You shall go to the dance. I will help you. She waved her wand. Suddenly cinderella was wearing a beautiful dress and glass shoes. She looked beautiful. Then the old lady waved her wand at a pumpkin and some mice. The pumpkin became a coach and the mice became the coachmen and horses. 'now get into the coach', said the little old lady,' and go to the dance. But remember! You must be home before twelve o'clock.'
she looked radiant and the prince danced with her all the time. Suddenly she ran outside when she heard the block striking twelve. The coach was not there and poor cinderella walked home and started work again. She was very unhappy.
The prince looked for cinderella and found one of her glass shoes. 'if anyone can wear this small shoe,' he said,' she must be the beautiful lady and i will marry her.
Every girl tried the shoe. The ugly sisters tried too, but their feet were big and the shoe was small. 'let cinderella try,' said one of the men. Cinderella put the shoe on easily. So the prince married her and they lived happily ever arter.
