FOCUS
Affordable strategies for growth in a down economy
By ADAM WITTY
Founder/CEO, Advantage Media Group
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
JULY
19, 2010 -- During the panic of 1871 in Paris, everyone was selling.
Everyone! Except for, of course, Baron Rothschild, who made a tidy
fortune swimming against the tide and displaying confidence when
everyone else was stricken with panic and paralyzed by fear.
Witte |
With
July Fourth just behind us, many entrepreneurs and small business
owners are fighting tooth and nail to maintain their independence.
The economic downturn that began in 2008 and continues well into
2010 has left many businesses bruised, battered and broken.
The
disastrous market conditions of the past 18 months have provided
a parallel to the panic of 1871 - and some incredible deals if you
are daring, creative and entrepreneurial enough to see them. During
these troubled times, it's important for business owners to behave
like the late great Baron Rothschild and look for the opportunity
amidst the rubble.
I'd
like to offer you some strategies to help your company not just
stay afloat, but make it to the other side of the ocean of uncertainty.
RECRUIT:
Does your sales force or marketing team need a facelift? The
current unemployment rate means that there are an awful lot of bright
people out there looking for work. Now is the time to build your
team and boost your company's cache with very high caliber people
at a price that before might not have been possible. Your employees
are a direct reflection of you and your company. Invest wisely.
FIFTH-BIRTHDAY
FUNDRAISER FOR PENCILS OF PROMISE
Advantage
Media Group, a Charleston-based publisher of business and
self-help books, turns five years old today and is celebrating
its birthday by partnering with the nonprofit Pencils
of Promise to raise $5,000 to build a school library
in Laos in Southeast Asia.
The
company donated $1,000 to get the ball rolling. Pencils
of Promise partners with communities in the developing world
to build schools and increase educational opportunities,
focusing on early education, high-potential females and
empowering a new generation of passionate leaders. Donations
are tax deductible. Click

APPRECIATE:
Show your customers that you appreciate them. Your existing customers
are your company's best asset. Treat them accordingly. Listen to
their feedback and give them what they are looking for, particularly
if it is of little or no cost. Our company, Advantage Media Group,
is a leading publisher of business, motivation and self-help media,
and our authors have told me that they want help in building speaking
platforms based on their books. To accommodate, I decided to offer
a free bonus day on that topic at our Annual Marketing Summit in
October. By offering our clients exactly what they want, we have
been able to dramatically boost enrollment for the conference. Everybody
wins!
ENGAGE:
What is the best way to keep your customers coming back time
and time again? Engage them, get them involved and give them incentives!
In 2009, a whopping 67% of our new authors came from a referral
or an introduction from an existing author. To ensure that this
trend continued, we introduced a contest called "Author Get
an Author," and the grand prizes are really good (trips to
the Mediterranean, Super Bowl tickets, etc.). This is a creative
way to incentivize clients to do what they are already doing, and
a fun way to get them excited about it.
CELEBRATE:
Celebrate milestones through charity. Nothing makes people's blood
boil more than another story about corporate greed and excess. The
next time your company has something to celebrate, or a milestone
to recognize, do so in an unconventional and charitable manner.
Advantage Media turns five years old today, July 19, and we have
asked all of our clients to help us raise enough money to build
a school library in Laos (see the box with this story for more information).
Connecting with your customers on a more altruistic level will allow
you to build bonds and connection points that transcend simple commercial
transactions.
Despite
some of the most troubling economic times since the Great Depression,
we entrepreneurs must plow ahead. The time has never been better
to pounce - and make significant gains. We must add talent to our
team, we must market and promote more aggressively, and we must
find creative strategies to address fundamental business principles.

Turkey offers
opportunities, examples for S.C.
By ANDY BRACK, publisher
IZMIR,
Turkey, July 16, 2010 – It's almost mind-boggling how small
the world is getting. Witness how Greenville Mayor Pro Tem David
Sudduth could get phone calls on his BlackBerry, post photos to
Facebook and send text messages to his children – while riding
in a bus across the arid, deserted steppe of central Turkey.
Brack |
“It
just proves you can't hide anywhere in the world,” Sudduth
observed.
With
the globe's second highest economic growth last quarter at 11 percent,
Turkey is an emerging economic tiger that has grown to become the
world's 17th largest economy.
In
a society that pays attention to economic might, Turkey seems to
be flexing its global wings. But the Turks, a gracious people who
once ruled people on three continents, today appear caught between
the desire to be a first world nation and the reality that there's
a lot of the second world still left inside its borders.
“I
just get a feeling that there's not a strong consensus on what they
want to be,” said Sudduth, one of several South Carolinians
on a cultural exchange this week in Turkey.
On
one hand, there's a great pride in Turkey for being a pro-Western
secular democracy that has shunned the injection of religion in
government since the 1920s. (Just about everyone in Turkey is Muslim,
although reportedly half are observant.) The country has modern
hospitals with fancy technology found in the best American hospitals.
Students are steered to study math and science so they can help
the nation grow its professional class.
Turkey
is filled with cultural gems, like the Roman ruins of the
ancient city of Ephesus along the coast south of Izmir. |
Perhaps
taxi ("taksi" in Turkey) drivers are the same everywhere.
In stores, visitors find T-shirts sporting American slogans and
logos. If European industrial dance music isn't playing loudly on
overhead speakers, then it's some kind of American pop. While few
people seem to speak English, Western influences abound in the Coca-Colas
and Pepsis found in the smallest roadside stands along the Anatolian
plain to congested downtown markets.
On
the other hand, Turkey has increasing business ties to Arabic neighbors
and other countries to the East. The ruling political party has
links to faith-based movements that want more moral values in everyday
governance. Other than in Izmir, the most Western of Turkey's large
cities, it's common to see women in conservative dress – scarves
that cover their heads and robes that cover their bodies. (It's
also not uncommon to see some of these very same women connected
to the latest cell phone and sporting flashy designer sunglasses.)
In
the Turkey tied more to the past, tourists find it hard to spot
street signs. There's little recycling and a lot of cigarette smoking.
One occasionally can spot a donkey pulling a cart as cars, buses
and trams whiz by. Electricity can go out due to heavy loads on
hot days. Agriculture is still a large part of the rural economy
as Turkey is considered self-sufficient in its food supply.
In
the years ahead as the Turks figure out what they want to become,
a week-long visit makes it clear that South Carolina businesses
might want to put Turkey on their maps because the country is growing.
Here are two ideas:
-
Tourism. This is one of Turkey's biggest sectors as 25
million people visit a year. Perhaps a partnership between Turkey
and South Carolina could allow each to learn lessons from the
other to boost tourism.
-
Education.
Turkey puts a priority on science and math education. It sends
smart students to the U.S. and other countries for advanced degrees.
When students receive their education, they return to Turkey to
fulfill a public service commitment to train more Turks in science
and math. Compared to Turkey, South Carolina gives lip service
to improving science and math education – generally considered
a key to future economic success. To compete in the future, South
Carolina needs more math and science scholars.
Turkey,
like South Carolina, is filled with warm, generous people. As Turkey
becomes more of a world player, there have got to be ways for us
to partner to improve both places.
This
column first appeared Friday in StatehouseReport.com,
a sister publication. Brack on Sunday returned from Turkey where
he was a member of a state delegation of a cultural exchange arranged
by Istanbul Center
in Atlanta.

Signups
now under way for United Way's Day of Caring
The
largest United Way Day of Caring not only in the United States,
but in the world, takes place in Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester
counties, and Trident United Way announced last week that it's time
to sign up to keep the effort going.
Some
7,000 people are expected to be involved in this year's Day of Caring,
which is planned for Sept. 14. The event brings groups of employees
from local businesses as well as other volunteers together for a
day to conduct projects at nonprofits around the Lowcountry to improve
the lives of others.
Companies
or volunteer teams can sign
up online here to take part. United Way officials say a project
for unaffiliated individuals will be announced in coming weeks.
Aquarium
conducting name-the-gator contest
The
South Carolina Aquarium has been taking suggestions for a name for
its albino alligator -- one of only 50 albino alligators in the
world - and has now narrowed the nominees down to four for a public
vote.
Members
of the public are asked to text their vote through Aug. 12. For
Alabaster, text ALABASTER, for Big Al, text AL, for
D'wight Gator, text DWIGHT, and for Lightning, text
LIGHTNING to 45203.
Each
voter will receive a discounted admission coupon in a confirmation
text. The coupon saves aquarium guests $5 off one child admission
after the purchase of one adult admission at regular price. Simply
show the text message coupon on your phone at the aquarium's admission
window.
The
albino alligator exhibit opened to the public in March. Living in
the recently renovated Blackwater Swamp, the gator occupies an area
with minimal light, imitating a real blackwater swamp. The exhibit's
design ensures negligible contact with UV light, protecting his
delicate skin, which lacks melanin and causes him to be translucent.
Local
man to lead American Lung Association board
Charleston
resident H. James Gooden, a longtime American Lung Association volunteer,
will serve as the association's national board chairman for the
coming year. The association's board of directors elected him to
the post. Gooden will serve a one-year term with the more than 100-year-old
charity.
Gooden |
If
Gooden looks familiar, it might be because you've seen him on TV:
He's the actor who portrays Sgt. James on the Lifetime series "Army
Wives," which is filmed in the Lowcountry. In addition to acting,
Gooden is the owner and president of ACE Communications.Net, which
specializes in marketing, media design/production, and website solutions.
Gooden
has been a member of the Lung Association's board of directors since
2003 and has chaired the agency's marketing and communications committee
and its strategic planning committee. He also served on the board
of directors' task force on minority health awareness partnerships.
"Losing
loved ones to lung disease caused by cigarette addiction and seeing
children needlessly suffering from asthma are some of the reasons
that I became involved," Gooden said. "Knowing that we
can do great things to improve the lung health of millions of Americans
and save lives is why I am honored to serve. It is an honor to work
with a nationwide organization of volunteers and staff in our fight
for air."
Conservancy,
Gibbes partner to beautify courtyard garden
Tourists and even many local residents may not realize that the
garden behind the Gibbes Museum of Art is open to the public as
part of the Charleston Gateway Walk. Now, with help from the Charleston
Parks Conservancy, the garden is getting a facelift with the hope
more people will explore the hidden gem.
The conservancy has partnered with the Women's Council of the Carolina
Art Association, an auxiliary group that supports the Gibbes, to
enhance and maintain the courtyard garden. The groups will conduct
their first workday today from 9 a.m. to noon, adding a mix of shrubs
and perennials to the space to accommodate shady and sunny areas
and keep the garden flowering nine months out of the year.
"This is a perfect example of how the conservancy works - partnering
with other organizations to beautify gardens and parks around the
city of Charleston," says Jim Martin, executive director of
the conservancy. "A beautiful garden is truly a work of art,
so it makes perfect sense for us to join with our premier local
art museum."
The courtyard garden is one of few public spaces on the Charleston
Gateway Walk, which connects private and public garden areas between
Archdale Street and Philadelphia Alley on the Charleston peninsula.

SC
ENCYCLOPEDIA
Slave
badges
Slave
badges served as the physical proof required to demonstrate the
legal status of slaves hired out by their masters. Laws controlling
such hiring began early, and badges or "tickets" were
mentioned by 1751, with wearing them mandated by 1764. With its
1783 incorporation, Charleston immediately passed badge laws. Although
other cities had similar laws, only Charleston badges have survived,
suggesting that it may have been the only city to manufacture and
sell them and to police their wearing. In 1800 laws became more
uniform, and the earliest surviving badges known date from this
year.
 |
By
around 1806 badges were valid for a calendar year and were sold,
at varying fees, in specific categories: mechanics, fruiterers (hucksters),
fishers, porters, and servants. Most badges bore the geographic
locator "Charleston." All sported a category, a number,
and a year. Surviving badges have holes for suspension since all
slaves, except servants, had to wear them. Badges were made of copper
of various shapes, depending on the design of the badge makers,
who were appointed annually by the city council. Round, diamond,
and square badges in differing sizes are known.
Enforced
until the end of slavery in 1865, badge laws required the keeping
of records and the swearing of oaths by those purchasing them, and
the laws stipulated punishments for failure to wear, produce, or
buy badges. As many as one-quarter of Charleston's slaves wore them
in some years, and the income from badge sales added significantly
to city coffers. By the end of the twentieth century, these throw-away
items had become highly collectible, often selling for thousands
of dollars.
