Karate studies generally seek the best way to attract business and motivate new students to take an interest in martial arts, self-defense, and discipline. Adding attractive signs is a great way to grab the attention of the meek and listless or energetic and undisciplined and bring them into your studio. Here’s a rundown of the 8 best karate studio poster ideas.

Garden signs

Using yard signs for advertising in your neighborhoods and around local hot spots like schools, daycare centers, and grocery stores is a great way to build your school’s reputation and gain awareness. Include the name and phone number of your dojo, and the variety of classes it offers to both children and adults. Be sure to list the benefits and strengths of enrolling in your martial arts studio.

Vinyl banner

Hang an eye-catching and demanding billboard over your martial arts studio to attract potential students. The strong design and motivational message designed with a large font is easy to read from a distance and extremely motivating. Keep your message direct and add a motivating image. A large outdoor sign is the ideal way to celebrate a grand opening or announce a new promotion. Posters must also be used at all events. Martial arts posters are the perfect way to announce your dojo’s top students, celebrate the belt test, or promote an upcoming competition.

Wall decals

Increase motivation within your karate studio by using decorative vinyl. These fabric decals are reusable, can be cut to any shape, and are specifically designed to be applied anywhere without causing damage. Cut a reusable decal in the shape of a martial arts teacher or a specific move and place it around the walls of the dojo and competitions to motivate students, teach about the moves, and emphasize skill mastery.

Vinyl lettering

Vinyl letters are cut to the shape of your school schedule and the studio name adds a professional look to any business and is a common way to share information. You can also list your classes along the windows, such as Kids Classes, Self Defense, and After School Program, as a way to inform the community and potential enrollees of what you offer.

Vinyl decals

Add impact to the front of your studio by using vinyl decals that can be printed for a variety of uses. Vinyl decals are a sticky material that works great for adding window appeal and attracting attention. They are made to go outside so they are weather resistant and better suited to tinted windows, but can also be printed inside out and cut into any shape. Cut to size a vinyl decal in the shape of your dojo emblem or create a window sign listing your services in full color.

Window clips

Enrollment Specials and Enrollment Promotions are a great way to increase student enrollment. Add window stickers promoting your upcoming classes and promotional offers to attract new business. These are also great for special self defense classes, after school registration, and tournament dates. Window stickers can also be used as fun and motivational decorations for classroom mirrors. Continue your wall decals in the classroom by cutting out ornaments in the form of poses or martial arts instructions as a fun way to motivate students to check their poses.

One-way vision

If your study classroom is covered with distracting windows and peeping spectators, one-way vision is ideal for advertising on your windows while still blocking visibility from outside. The material is solid from the outside and visible from the inside, offering great noticeable publicity and privacy, but still letting in light.

Car stickers

Let your parents and students promote your dojo using car stickers. Car stickers are a great way to show off student activities and promote your study of karate. Car stickers can be placed on the windows of parent vehicles with the name and emblem of the dojo and personalized with the student’s name. This is a great way to allow students to spread the word about their school.

2016 ended with Americans exhausted by emotionally harrowing politics, stories of foreign entanglements and violence at home. Companies have also struggled with modest economic growth and a turbulent stock market. As we begin 2017, everyone – consumers and organizations alike – faces uncertainty in a variety of areas.

Against this backdrop, companies have yet to develop, plan and execute strategies for profitable growth. After speaking with various colleagues and clients, and reading feedback from various experts and forecasters, here is my take on what awaits small and medium-sized B2B and B2C businesses in the coming year:

one. A significant number of marketers, both large and small, will conduct agency reviews in 2017. The current Advertiser Insights report (based on 420 marketers representing about 90 percent of the top 100 US advertisers) reveals a staggering number of planned reviews:

· 66% Creative Agency Review Plan;

65% plan to check search agencies;

64% plan to review media agencies;

61% plan to review digital agencies.

Why? Beyond the lack of trust in the authorities of society as a whole, trust has also been lost, rightly or wrongly, between marketers and their agencies. So if you are feeling concerned about your agency relationship, acknowledge that you are not alone.

two. There will be significant increases in the number of companies hiring “temporary workers”, that is, freelance contract workers and freelance specialists. Faced with minimum wage increases, increases in health care costs, and rising payroll taxes, companies are obviously doing everything they can to reduce their fixed labor costs. But the ability to hire top-tier talent in the short or long term is also a practice that’s gaining a lot of momentum. In fact, a recent Deloitte University Press survey showed a “significant 7 percent increase” plus a “44 percent increase” in planning to hire casual workers in the next few years.

Keep in mind that these “outsiders” bring fresh energy and ideas to any type of organization and, at the same time, can provide some savings to your bottom line.

3. Media fraud and ad blocking will increase in 2017. Much was uncovered by the National Advertisers Association’s eight-month investigation into undisclosed refunds flowing from digital media companies to agencies. However, there is an incentive for scammers to keep doing what they are doing due to the ability to bypass fraud detection systems. This widespread practice can influence agencies’ media recommendations (and bottom line), although it obviously does not serve the best interests of clients.

Perhaps most importantly, the staggering growth of ad blocking in the markets poses a huge threat to digital media. At least 419 million people around the world are blocking ads on their smartphones, almost double the number blocked on desktop computers. That’s 22 percent of the world’s 1.9 billion smartphone users (PageFair – Ad Blocking Goes Mobile).

Digital and mobile media won’t go away, but using them effectively is challenging. Find professionals you trust to make sure you get what you expected.

Four. Since customers and followers are the lifeblood of any business or nonprofit organization, organizations will need to significantly increase their efforts to better understand their real-world wants and needs. A recent McKinsey & Co. study of about 700 top executives found that: 1) only 6 percent of companies felt they understood their customers’ needs very well; and 2) seventy-two percent considered the knowledge-of-the-client budgets inadequate.

There has been an explosion in the amount of customer data available, with new software programs mining all kinds of purchase and opinion information, including social media. To be competitive, organizations will need to continue expanding their knowledge using this new information. It just doesn’t seem smart to even consider developing a specific strategy or plan without knowing your customers, so make sure you have the skills to obtain and interpret the correct information.

5. Developing and maintaining a positive customer experience will become the new king of marketing. Distrust of institutions appears to be rampant: products are withdrawn from the market, passwords are stolen, online tweets have as much credibility as government agencies. Starting with employees, make sure they have the knowledge and tools to provide better customer service, create a positive experience, and promote repeat buying and customer referrals.

Confidence is the new black. All aspects of a brand’s life must convey reliability, delivered consistently and credibly, at every point of contact.

6. The acceptance and use of direct mail by millennials will continue to explode. Yes, millennials. And yes, traditional mail. This demographic is the one most likely to open and read direct mail. In fact, 63% reported that they made a purchase based on a direct mail article that they opened in the last 3 months (Direct Marketing Information Trends Study in the US).

Perhaps their flood of spam, disrupted advertising, and meaningless content will leave you tired of staring at screens and searching for a “new” medium. After all, it’s not about technology; it’s about efficiency.

7. While internet media spending will be tied to television for the biggest spending in 2017, more marketers will acknowledge that the majority of top media spending is still accounted for by traditional media (65%). Spending on television will increase by 1 percent, away from home by 4 percent, as radio will remain unchanged and only magazines and newspapers will show decreases (by 5 and 9 percent, respectively). Additionally, the Marketing Services category will increase by 2.8 percent to $ 237 billion, led by sales promotion, telemarketing, direct mail, and event sponsorships. (Age of advertising)

It goes without saying that determining where to spend your money on marketing communications is becoming increasingly complex. The key to doing this successfully is understanding the difference between selecting the newest “efficient” tactical tool and selecting the most “effective” one. This becomes increasingly important for small businesses, which cannot afford costly mistakes.

8. Much more time and smart thinking will be spent developing marketing strategy, positioning, and planning for marketing and marketing communications. A study of “Significant Brands” conducted by Havas in 2015 reported that most people wouldn’t mind if three-quarters of all brands disappeared forever. Also, most brands haven’t updated their strategies to satisfy today’s internet shoppers. These buyers have access to a wealth of information and have a wealth of purchasing options at their fingertips. It is more vital than ever that, to survive, you must continue to keep your brand meaningful to its constituents.

Both for-profit and non-profit brands must make absolutely clear how they differ from the competition and make their value proposition completely credible at every opportunity. Once your plan is implemented, you also need to know what is working and measure everything.

Marketing Communications and Value Marketing Consultants

2017 brings a considerable number of unknowns and concerns facing your customers, prospects, and even your employees. Clearly, they are more cautious about what to believe and who to trust for the next year. All organizations are faced with these problems and the dilemma of how to run a successful business in this climate.

Many small and medium-sized organizations are partnering with established and independent senior consultants to assist them with marketing communications and marketing plans and budgets, evaluating, developing, refining and, if applicable, implementing. If this is something you might consider, look for people with extensive experience in B2B, B2C, and nonprofits across all industries and brands. Look for consultants who are media neutral and don’t sell a particular discipline. And make sure they are passionate about analyzing the results and willing to “tell it like us” so that candor can flourish.

Improving the ROI of profitable sales and marketing communications is a daunting task. Finding the right consultant to partner with can take a bit of searching, but as Yogi Berra said, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

Following a super strict diet or spending every waking moment in the gym are the only ways to lose weight. However, what good is going through so much hard work when at the end of the fight you are going to end up gaining all the kilos you lost or, worse yet, you will gain more kilos than you lost? Sounds like a nightmare, right? Hard work pays off for a short period of time and then the results are reversed in no time.

To make sure you pay off your hard work, you don’t need to take the hard road all the time, you can take the easy solutions and still be in shape. In fact, you may be able to lose weight with small lifestyle changes. It is time for us to break the myth.

Clearly, those many fad diets work to lose weight quickly, yet these diets and exercises leave you hungry and deprived.

To keep the pounds off once and for all, it is better to do it slowly than quickly. (Slow and steady wins the race, remember?)

Experts have also claimed that you can lose weight without “dieting.” The key is simple adjustments to your lifestyle.

Simple weight loss lifestyle changes are the easiest weight loss changes you can make in your life.

So here’s the plan, the contours of which significantly reduce your appetite, make you lose weight (without hunger), and improve your metabolic health.

one. Cut down on sugars and starches – This is the most important step: reducing sugar and starches (carbohydrates). Once this is done, this reduces hunger levels and therefore you end up eating fewer calories. Therefore, instead of burning carbohydrates for energy, your body begins to feed on stored fat. It also lowers insulin levels, causing the kidneys to remove excess sodium and water from your body. This further reduces bloating and unnecessary water weight.

two. Eat protein, fat, and vegetables – Each meal you eat should be a source of protein, a source of fat and vegetables (low in carbohydrates). The best sources of protein are meat, fish and shellfish, and eggs. High protein diets have been shown to reduce cravings and obsessive thoughts about food and thus cut the desire to snack late at night in half. Don’t think twice about loading your plate with low carb veggies. A diet based on meat and vegetables contains all the fibers, minerals and vitamins that keep you healthy. Your fat source can be olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, and butter. If you tried low-carb and low-fat foods at the same time, the diet would result in failure.

3. Lift weights 3 times a week – It is not necessary to exercise to lose weight, however, it is recommended. The best option is to go to the gym 3 times a week or 4 at the most. All you need to do is warm up and lift some weights. When you lift weights, you burn calories and also prevent your metabolism from slowing down, which is a common side effect of losing weight. If weight lifting is out of the ordinary, you can always do some cardio like walking, jogging, running, biking, or swimming will suffice too.

In addition to changes in your diet, there are some tips on lifestyle changes to lose weight. These tips are more likely to act as a catalyst in weight loss.

1. Drink water half an hour before meals.

2. Drink coffee or tea.

3. Eat your food slowly.

4. Weigh yourself every day.

5. Get a good night’s sleep. Every night (very important)

6. Add more steps to your routine. (Walk 10,000 steps per day)

7. Eat breakfast every day.

8. Close the kitchen at night. (You don’t want to get into mindless snacks or late night snacks)

9. Drink water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

10. Avoid doing anything else while eating.

conclusion

When you lower your carbohydrate and insulin levels, your hormonal environment changes and your brain and body adapt to the new changes. This leads to a reduction in appetite and hunger and thus eliminates the reason why most people fail with conventional weight loss methods. These methods have been shown to help you lose weight 2-3 times the weight of a typical low-fat, calorie-restricted diet.

Adding green tea to your list of lifestyle changes for weight loss is also recommended. Green tea has been shown to be associated with several health benefits, including weight loss, due to its rich nutritional and antioxidant composition. It is beneficial for weight loss by helping the body’s metabolism to be more efficient. To complement the weight loss, 2-3 cups of green tea a day will suffice. Try these methods and you will surely achieve your body goals.

Good luck!

We thought Tyvek would be great for making our own bivouac bags. It seems like the ideal material: light, resistant, waterproof and breathable. So we decided to do a basic bivouac for the two of us.

We use two sheets of Tyvek to make the equivalent of a top sheet and a bottom sheet. The second step was to place the sheets, one on top of the other. Using Tyvek tape taped around the bottom 3/4 of the two sheets. The net effect was something like a giant Tyvek sleeping bag that would fit our actual sleeping bags. We also used a soldering iron to melt some holes into which we glued grommets. We thought we might want to use some line to tie the end of the bivouac.

Our first night was in the snow at about 5 ° F. It was very quiet, but very cold. I kept my head at the open end of the bivouac. It seems obvious to me. I tied the end and could feel some of that really cold air on my face so I slipped into my bag a bit and ended up feeling comfortable all night long. My bag of feathers stayed dry and warm.

My friend seemed to think it would be a good idea to head in and didn’t think it wise to tie up the end of his bivouac. His breath ended up condensing inside the bivouac during the course of the night. In the morning, he said that every time he filmed there was a tiny little shower of ice crystals. It wasn’t that nice.

Because it was freezing, we went down a lot in altitude for the next night with the Tyvek. We ended up camping by car. It just so happens that the second night was windy even though it was much hotter. In the morning we agreed that being on Tyvek was like sleeping inside a bag of chips. It was pretty loud!

On the positive side, a woman from a nearby camp asked us if we were testing equipment for a technical manufacturer. He used to work for Patagonia and said he saw a lot of people trying unusual equipment. Apparently at least we looked cool enough that she thought we weren’t just crazy!
