When people are rich, price is no object. A certain mentality is in the air which is to “shop till you drop” or until the card has reached its limit.

Most of the consumers in the market are women. These people don’t just buy items made off the street or from China but prefer to get branded items such as designer handbags and shoes from the fashion capital of the world that is, Italy.

What is the big fuss about products made from Italy? For starters, most of the designers in this part of the world set the trend in the fashion industry. The materials used are of the highest quality and nothing is released until it passes strict quality control tests to always keep customer satisfied with the product.

There are two brands that stand out among the rest. The first is Gucci. This company has been producing shoes and bags using genuine leather. Those who want to party can try to get Britt Mid Heel boots.

This is easy to slip on since this can be zipped or unzipped from the size. This pair of boots isn’t flat since it comes with 3-inch heels making the girl look sexy and tall in a room of crowded men.

The price for all this attention, $1022, which should be no problem for the hand working woman or daddy’s little girl.

The second that produces a lot of quality-crafted products is Prada. Those who don’t want to wear high heels but still want to look tall can try the pair of boots this brand offers that is made of suede leather. It also has a zip lock on the side making it easy to wear or take off.

These are only available in black but given the material used in making this pair of boots, the customer can get this for $540.

If this pair or the other is out of stock in the department or specialty store, there are some online retailers that can take the order and have it delivered at home. The customer will just give the credit card details then get it after two or three days then begin enjoying the new pairs of boots while partying out or walking to work.

The pair of shoes one decides to wear tells a lot about a person. This is the reason those who are rich can designer brands because this shows how concerned an individual is about appearance from head to toe.

Try to imagine that you suddenly remembered that your wedding anniversary is next week and you forgot about getting your wife a gift while you’re busy at the office. Try to imagine how frustrating it can be for you and how disappointed she may be if she discovers that you didn’t buy her anything for your special day.

When you think about it, it’s really not a pretty sight to see. So, if you forgot about buying her a gift, you would then need to buy her a gift immediately. However, you know how confusing and how frustrating it can be with just thinking about what gift you should give her. Surely you don’t want to buy her the latest gaming console available in the market that you have been really wanting as a gift.

You want to buy her something that she will treasure for a long time and at the same time, show your creative side. It is important that you should give her something that she can use and one that she can show off to her friends.

Flowers alone just don’t cut it. If you want to really impress her, you should try and think about what kind of thing she would really want to use and at the same time, remember you.

An example of a perfect gift idea for your wife in any occasion is a handbag. Sure, a regular designer handbag can be great, but what if you can personalize it? What “personalize” means is that you can put something on the handbag that she will truly appreciate.

An example of a handbag is called photo handbag. Because of today’s advancement in photo printing technology, you can now print pictures anywhere you want. You can print your wedding photo on the sides of the handbag with designs that she will truly appreciate.

You can even put in different photos. You can put in a family photo, or just about anything as long as the quality of the photo is good. All you have to do is look for a photo printing service that offers photo handbag printing service near your area. However, if you don’t see any of these services in your area, you can try and look for it in the Internet. Today, there are quite a few websites that offer photo handbags and other printing services.

There are even websites that offer designer handbags with the photo of your choice printed on the sides.

To do this, all you have to do is look for the website of your choice, subscribe in the website, choose a handbag, choose a design pattern, submit the photo and wait for it to be delivered to your home.

There are also available websites that offer photo handbag printing with the preview feature. In this feature, you choose what kind of design pattern you want and where you want the photo placed. With this kind of feature, you can really create a unique photo handbag design that your wife can truly appreciate.

If you want to make it more special, why not buy her two gifts at once. Buy her that pearl necklace she’s been wanting and put it inside the handbag. With this kind of idea, you will surely make your wife happy.

Always remember that simple gift ideas are better.

Premiums and Freemiums – Who’s Doing What? by Shira Linden

Just like in the fashion industry, premiums have their hot
sellers and their has-beens. The industry is sensitive to
changes in technology that render some premiums obsolete, and to
political events that affect the business climate. Stan Konik,
President of Konik and Company, a merchandise premium supplier
to the publishing industry for over 30 years, reports that
cameras, which used to be very popular, are now defunct, thanks
to digital photography. Calculators and many electronics have
also gone by the wayside, he added. Some premiums simply go out
of vogue. Pens, for example, are now dead. Umbrellas are only
used on a limited basis, because the quality is not there at the
price point marketers want to pay – between $2.00 and $2.50 per
item and decreasing. “People are looking for lower priced items
with high perceived value,” Konik declares. He reports that many
want imprinting, so his firm offers customized products as well
as drop-shipping. September 11 turned the premium industry on
its head. “All business ceased,” said Konik. He noted that now
business is back to pre-9/11 levels, but the nature of the
business has changed. Scissors and knives were popular before
9/11, but have practically disappeared, save for one magazine
catering to hunters. Conversely, security devices, such as
radios with attached flashlights and sirens are good movers.
Current top sellers include jumbo display clocks with time,
temperature and date, travel alarm clocks with temperature, date
and alarm, binoculars, mini radios and scan radios, databanks
(mini PDAs that incorporate calculators), pedometers, especially
for health newsletters, and tools like the motorized power
driver screwdriver. Stainless steel travel mugs and tote bags
are also doing well. Konik likes to see clients feature the
premium on the envelope, on a 4-color buckslip and in the
letter. He claims that when the premium is predominantly
featured, marketers will see a 28% lift in response versus a
non-premium mailing.

Premiums Can Send Results South Overall, the majority of
marketers who weighed in looked favorably upon freemiums and
premiums. The exception was VNU. Neil Eisenberg, Circulation
Director of VNU Business Publications, stated that American
Artist previously used pamphlet-sized books with repackaged
editorial content, such as 101 Tips for Painters, as well as
canvas duffle bags. When they removed the premiums about three
years ago, response went up. “I can’t say why – I don’t know if
it was just luck or the premiums didn’t inspire our prospects to
reply,” Eisenberg stated.

Premiums, Freemiums = Business as Usual On the other hand,
several publications use premiums routinely. For over a decade,
Highlights for Children has been using premiums and freemiums in
their packages to consumers as well as teachers. “We’re famous
for our freemiums, said Bill Hummel, Senior Vice President of
Marketing. “We use them as door openers. We get lots of brand
identity with those. They definitely lift response and have a
high perceived value. We create our own – they’re unique and
distinctive, and tie into the publication. We’ve used them for
so long it’s pretty much a given with us.” Most, although not
all Highlights packages also have premiums. Their gift sub offer
includes a free “Hidden Pictures Calendar” with each
subscription ordered, a premium that refreshes itself, which
makes it attractive. Highlights also mails a teacher package,
which includes a choice of items teachers can use in the
classroom, such as reward stickers.

Premiums Out, Freemiums In For the past year, freemiums have
substituted for premiums at Kiplinger’s. The freemium enclosed
in their statement of benefits package, “12 Grade-A Ways to
Build a Nest Egg for Retirement,” is an attractive, 4-color
laminated insert. Subsequently, Kiplinger’s dropped the
lamination, and went to a lesser paper weight with an aqueous
coating and results still held up. Carol LePere, Circulation
Director and Associate Publisher, indicated they tested the
freemium along with a new package. “The whole package worked
like gangbusters. The freemium doesn’t cost much, yet provides a
value-added benefit subscribers have come to expect.” Recently,
they redesigned the freemium for their upcoming mailing to keep
it fresh. LePere reports that retirement is the most popular
personal finance topic, followed by taxes. The market changes
too quickly for stock tips. Previously, Kiplinger’s relied on
editorial premiums with their renewal promotions. They also tied
editorial premiums into a soft offer.

Combination Offer “We’re not a big premium user,” said Ken
Godshall, Senior Vice President of Consumer Marketing at Hearst
Communications, Inc. “We like to sell the magazine on its merits
at a reasonable price.” But when Hearst tried a combination sale
in the Quality School Plan setting, “It boosted response so much
it got our attention. We wanted to appeal to a younger female
consumer, so the offer was buy Seventeen and get a six month
subscription to Cosmo Girl. It turned out to be one of the
biggest successes in publishing last year.” A postcard mailer
enticed prospective Cosmo subscribers with a bonus 6-issue sub
to Marie Claire. Goodshall indicated the combination sale is
quite new – just one to two years old. He called it, “smart
marketing,” indicating they’ve had some success in renewals as
well, which makes the response even more attractive. But every
marketing coup has its down side. “We can’t do it all the time.
The limitation is that we can’t make this offer continuously,
just a few times per year,” he said.

Winners Rely on Premiums According to Hallie Mummert, writing in
Target Marketing, “Blockbuster Direct Mail – Secrets of the
decade’s most successful controls,” April 2005, “The biggest
predictor of success between long-term controls and those that
burn out within two years can be boiled down to one word: gifts.
Grand Control winners (257 Axel Andersson winners whose mailings
were tracked over the last decade) offered premiums or freemiums
in their efforts nearly 400 percent more than their general mail
counterparts. Specifically, 44.7 percent of the Grand Controls
used such incentives as name and address labels, special
reports, tote bags, plush animals, flower bulbs, stickers,
calendars and calculators to drive response.” Or do they? Yet,
according to the CircTrack 2004 study of paid consumer magazine
circulation, premium usage in direct mail control offers has
dropped from 41% in 2000 to 26% in 2003, the last year that
figures were available. When consumers were queried in the
CircTrack 2004 consumer survey, 58% of consumer magazine
subscribers prefer price discounts, 21% favor an extended term
subscription and only 14% prefer gifts. Of those who have
renewed a magazine subscription in the past 12 months, 64.3%
were motivated by a price discount, 20.6% by extended term, 7.4%
by gifts and 6% by the editorial product itself.

The CircTrack findings are upheld by ParadyszMatera, a leading
list brokerage and consulting firm serving the magazine
publishing industry. Glenn Lalich, Vice President, reports
premium use was down across the consumer magazine marketplace,
dropping from 51% in 2003 to 47% in 2004, although not all types
of incentives saw declines. The most common incentive, premium
upon payment, held steady at 36% of consumer magazine promotions
in 2003 and 2004. Freemiums stayed at 7% for both years. As
expected given the growth of hard bill-me offers tied to voucher
packages, incentives designed to increase upfront response
(premium on order) declined from 9% in 2003 to only 6% in 2004.
Lalich reports use of editorial versus merchandise premiums has
seen little movement in recent years, adding that on the
merchandise front, one of the more popular items of the past
year or so has been the personal organizer from mailers like
Time, U.S. News & World Report and even Details. Conde Nast also
offers a variety of interesting fashion bags/handbags for titles
like Glamour, Lucky and Vogue.

Pictures, pictures; it is definitely everywhere. You can see it when you’re reading the daily newspaper, magazines, or when you’re driving on the road. You can find a lot of them in your own home, or in your room.

Pictures have been used for many different ways but one thing that most people, especially women, have discovered is its use in bag designs. Other people are also finding unique ways to use their photos and turn them into pocketbook covers.

The picture pocketbook that is referred to in this article is not the actual pocketbook itself, but it is all about the different bag designs with pictures incorporated in it and other photo design uses.

There are different bag models referred to as picture pocketbooks because it contains picture on both the front and back sides. It is one special feature of some picture handbags and petite bags.

Picture pocketbook handbags are just like any other photo bag, only that it has photo on both sides. Most commonly, photo bags have pictures only on the front side, and that is probably how the name turned out to be.

Most manufacturers already have a complete line of different picture handbags in their store or website, but you still have one option. And that option is to design your very own bag. You are made to choose a picture to incorporate into the bag. Send the picture to them and wait for more than two weeks for the bag delivery.

However, if you can find one that catches your interest, than you can buy it. There are a lot of designs to choose from, there are dog picture pocketbooks, cats’ picture pocketbooks, and many more.

Aside from picture-pocketbook bag designs, many people are playing with what the digital technology can actually do. If you have special collections that you want compiled, like you and your loved ones favorite songs, stamp collections, or any other typical collection which requires a specific cover, you can turn it into a picture pocketbook. All you have to do is to select a picture, and it will be instantly transferred to the pocketbook, making it its new cover. What a good way to customize such personal items.

If you still want to know more about picture pocketbooks, there are a lot of search engines available on the net that can give you your needed information. If you are seeking for professional help, it would be a lot easier to find one on the net. Doing business with the use of the internet has made different transactions a lot easier and more convenient for most individuals.

Because of the fast improvements in technology, people are now enjoying the many benefits it brings. And to think that ordinary ‘pictures’ were also subject to great amount of changes.

Pocketbooks are not just about romance novels, detective stories, or suspense novels. Picture pocketbooks are a whole new different thing. Today, its all about bags, covers, etc. If you have been sulking in your room, you’re probably not aware of this yet. Get up, and move with your fast-changing world. Be creative and keep up to date with things.

Are you interested in buying a replica of a Gucci handbag? If so, you are not alone. But if you want to buy an original as opposed to a replica there are many things that you must consider. The fact of the matter is that Gucci handbags are among the best in the industry. If you want to buy an original you are probably doing so for the top notch styling, elegance, and of course the quality.

If you get duped into buying a replica of a Gucci handbag you will not be getting any of this. Instead, you will be buying a knock off that does not have nearly as many benefits. You should learn as much as you can on how to avoid buying a replica of a Gucci handbag as opposed to an original.

The first thing that you should look for when buying a Gucci handbag is the details. When you buy an original you will be able to see all the finer details that have become synonymous with the Gucci name. But on the other side of things, a replica of a Gucci handbag is not going to have nearly as many details. You will notice that there are loose ends, and that it is not put together as well.

Additionally, replicas of Gucci handbags do not carry the initials on all of the zips; this is something that all the originals have. Also, on the inside of the originals you will be able to find information on how the bag was made, as well as the location in which it was manufactured. Again, if you cannot find this information it is safe to say that you are looking at a replica of a Gucci handbag.

All in all, quality and durability are much better when you buy an original Gucci bag. The fact of the matter is that it can be tough to determine an original from a replica of a Gucci handbag.

Even if you do not find anything, what do you lose by searching around online? Not only can you find stores that sell cheap designer handbags, but auction sites such as eBay are great places to search as well.

If you are going to buy your cheap designer handbag online make sure that you are careful. You want to make sure that you are getting an original and not just a replica; this is something that you need to be wary of when it comes to buying cheap designer handbags online. But the good thing is that if you are careful you should never run into any problems.

As you can see, you can find a cheap designer handbag if you put your mind to it. Not only should you be able to find something that suits your needs, but you should also be able to save plenty of money as well.

Link popularity is by far the most important factor for determining your search engine ranking. You need to know what link popularity is, why it is so important, and how Google measures your link popularity (over 50% of all search engine traffic comes from Google, and if you can rise to the top of Google, you will rise to the top of all the other search engines as well). But, before we talk about how Google measures linking, we need to cover some basics.

Link popularity is defined as the number of sites that are linking to your site. Some websites have thousands or even millions of sites linking to them, while others might have only a few. The search engines use the number of inbound links your site has as a measure of how important your site is, which translates into your search engine ranking.

The actual number of links to your site is not the only variable used to calculate your link popularity. The search engines also examine the relevance of the links to the subject matter of your site. For example, if a website that sells vitamins has 4,000 inbound links, but the source of most of the links are websites that have nothing to do with vitamins, then the algorithm that search engines use to determine link popularity will take that into account, and the link popularity score will not be very good.

It is possible for a website with a relatively small number of quality inbound links to be ranked higher than a site with a bunch of irrelevant or insignificant links. If I have a website that offers quotes for auto insurance, and I have 800 quality inbound links, then I might receive a much higher search engine ranking than another mortgage site that has 3,000 links that stem from link farms or Free For All (FFA) pages.

If you try to acquire inbound by using link farms or FFA pages, not only will it hurt your search engine ranking, but you might get permanently removed from the search engine listings. Links farms are sites where you can instantly exchange links with all the sites listed in that directory. FFA pages are pointless link directories. The search engines usually discount any links that come from either of these sources.

Now that we understand what link popularity is and how it works, we need to look specifically at how Google measures it. Google uses a number of variables in their algorithm to calculate your overall link score. The higher your score, the higher you will be ranked in the search listings.

One factor that Google uses in their algorithm, obviously, is the total number of sites linking to you. The more links you have, the higher your score will be. However, their algorithm is a little more complicated than that, and it is possible for a website with fewer links to be ranked higher than a website that has more links.

The reason for this is because Google also measures the quality of your links. If your website is about vitamins, and the site linking to you is a video game site, then that is not considered a quality link. The link still helps your score, but the link would help your score much more if it were from a website whose subject matter is the same as yours.

Also, Google gives a higher score to a link if it comes from a page that has actual content that relates to your keywords. For example, if your site is about jewelry, and another jewelry website has posted a link to your site on their links page, that link is not as valuable as a link to your site coming from a blog or a message board where a lot of information about jewelry is being written or discussed.

Also, Google gives an even higher score to a link if it contains anchor text that matches one of the keywords that describes your site. For example, if I have a site that sells lawnmowers, and a blog about lawnmowers has posted a link to my site, it helps my score even more if the link text (also known as anchor text) is LAWNMOWERS. To learn more about anchor text, go to a search engine and look up ANCHOR TEXT and you will be able to learn about it.

Another factor used by Google to score your link popularity is the diversity of keywords contained on sites linking to you. For example, if you have a site that sells handbags, and all the links to your site are from other sites that contain nothing but the keyword HANDBAGS, Google considers that to be abnormal. To get a higher score, you need to have links coming from sites that contain a variety of keywords related to handbags, such as BUY HANDBAGS, LEATHER HANDBAGS, etc.

It is difficult to increase your link popularity, but now that you understand how your score is calculated, you can devise a plan to improve your score. You might want to consider posting to forums and blogs that contain information that is related to your site, and when you post, include a link to your site. As long as you are persistent and tailor your strategy towards Google, you will do fine.

Handbags are an accessory and are not worn on the body itself, which may sound obvious, but is something that affects the way women buys a handbag.

In many instances women buy without thinking of style or how it flatters their body.

If a handbag looks good, fits or is functional, then many women simply buy it without thinking how it changes their overall look.

A handbag however can affect your body, look and shape in the same way as a well fitting dress. Follow the tips below when choosing and buying a handbag, not only will it be in proportion with your body shape it, can also make you look slimmer.

Handbag Shapes

Try to choose a shape that is the opposite of your body type.

If you are slim and tall choose a slouchy, rounded bag to compliment your look.

If on the other hand your body type is short and heavier build, go for the opposite in your choice of handbag. Choose a handbag that is tall and rectangular or maybe long and sleek.

As a rule of thumb the rounder your figure, the more structured your bag needs to be.

Large rectangular or square handbags in soft leathers or fabrics will compliment your figure nicely. Scale

So we our first choosing a handbag tip is that the shape should be the opposite of your body type now we need to look at getting the right size of bag.

The scale of bag you choose is just as important as the size in relation to your body type when choosing a handbag.

The size of your handbag should ALWAYS be in proportion to your figure.

So here are some tips for choosing a handbag in relation to your body size.

Tall and slim

Being tall and slim allows you to get away with most purse styles. Oversize bags, shoulder bags and clutch bags will all look good.

The only point you need to keep in mind:

Is the size of the handbag you choose. Small bags should be avoided as they will make you look bigger. Mid size, large, floppy or bulky handbags are best. Petite

The most important point here is the size of the bag you carry.

Keep in mind scale. Small bags work best for petite women. Wear small bags and keep them close to your body.

Large hips

Choose one with a short strap, which can be tucked easily under the arm. A good look for a shoulder bag or a hobo bag that hangs slightly but ends well above the hips, any handbag that falls on the hips draws attention to this area you may not want!

Top heavy

If you have a large bust, you may want to draw attention away from your bosom. If you want to wear a shoulder bag make it one that has a long strap and is large in size.

Curvy Figure

A shoulder bag that ends just above the waist is the most flattering style. The only type of bags to avoid are ones that are too big or too small in relation to your overall body size.

Plus size

You need to keep away from bags that are small as they will look lost against your figure.

Go for bags of reasonable size i.e. in proportion to your body size with short to medium length straps.

As you can see bag type and size can influence your overall look and can make you look slimmer.

Having the wrong hand or shoulder bag can make you look bigger and can also draw attention to areas you may not want to emphasize.

Overall, a handbag is necessary, but also can be fashionable and compliment your figure.

Whether it is making the outfit complete, adding to it as an accessory, or just holding all the essentials, handbags are an essential part of every women’s life.

There not just practical they are a fashion statement in their own right, so make them complement your look.

Here are some tips to follow when buying your handbag

Tips

Take time in a store to try on handbags in front of a mirror just like you would with any other item of clothing.

Don’t be tempted by trendy styles that don’t suit your figure: there are plenty of great alternatives and one will be right for you. Think style rather than fashion here!

Think lifestyle as well and make your bag practical if you’re with kids and have nappies an beautiful vintage bag, may not be the best choice!
