Starting a Small Business
Okay gang - sorry about cancelling at the last minute last week. I had a family emergency come up.
First of all, I'd like to introduce you to Piper Halliwell![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cookinggeek, my new TA. In the future if I have to cancel class, Piper will have copies of my lesson plans and be able to collect homework, give assignments, etc.
Second - Final Roster for Starting a Small Business
cookinggeek & the4thsister
allie_cameron & lisacuddy
12parseckessel & kawalsky
iwasawesome & not_an_ex_demon
veronicamars1
taylorjustin & kinneybrian have been kicked out of class for non-attendance.
aka_vala has dropped the class, leaving Veronica without a partner. See me after class and we'll figure out how to handle this.
Also -iwasawesome and the4thsister will get detention if they don't show up for class this week.
Third - We're going to start our section on advertising tonight.
What Advertising Can Do For Your Business
*Remind customers and prospects about the benefits of your product or service
*Establish and maintain your distinct identity
*Enhance your reputation
*Encourage existing customers to buy more of what you sell
*Attract new customers and replace lost ones
*Slowly build sales to boost your bottom line
*Promote your business to customers, investors and others
What Advertising Cannot Do For Your Business
*Create an instant customer base
*Cause an immediate sharp increase in sales
*Solve cash flow or profit problems
*Substitute for poor or indifferent customer service
*Sell useless or unwanted products or services

Re: Lorelai's Office Hours
Dr. Phil is the devil, OMG"Is everything okay?" she asks. "And if you want in Starting a Small Business, I actually have a spot open. Someone dropped at the last minute."
Re: Lorelai's Office Hours
But the article said he was Martha Stewarts love child with J.K. Rowling's first husband's ex-boyfriend! OMG!"It is now," He replied, looking thoughtful for a moment. Then, he grinned, as if to dispel it. "Small business was exactly what I wanted."
Re: Lorelai's Office Hours
"Well, you'll be working with Veronica Mars setting up a mock detective agency. I'll go see the Dean tomorrow to get approval for you to join since it's after the official add/drop period."
