Heed The Bard


At thirty, man suspects himself a fool;
Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan;
At fifty chides his infamous delay,
Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve;
In all the magnanimity of thought
Resolves, and re-resolves; then dies the same.
-Edward Young

Be Wise With Speed


Be wise with speed;
A fool at forty is a fool indeed.

Direct Marketing Via Flyers


wealthymattersFlyers or fliers, circulars, handbills or leaflets ,call them what you will,they remain relevant to businesses,even in these days of mobile and internet marketing.If you have just started offering a new service or opened a new shop and/or wish to pull in customers with a discount or promotion,there is no better way to attract customers.Sure, today online ads can be geographically targeted and local cable and FM channels can be used to address a local customer base,but neither offers the level of localization a flyer campaign does.Think! You can have your business listed on Google Maps,but unless a person is actually searching for a service,they are unlikely to find your small business via Google.On the other hand by handing out fliers around the neighbourhood and posting them in prominent places, a person can get  the attention of potential customers not currently actively searching for a service.Facebook and e-mail lists are cheap ways of getting the word out but you first need to build a subscriber base.And cable TV and FM radio require a lot more money to get started and are more suitable to bigger businesses,not tiny businesses.

This November, in a first-of-its-kind exhibition, Indians will get to see the original works of grandmasters from the Flemish Baroque School of the 16th and 17th century, at the Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sanghralaya, formerly the Prince of Wales Museum ,courtesy the Port of Antwerp Authority, along with the Royal Antwerp Museum of Fine Art, the City of Antwerp and the Belgian Federal government .So go ahead and enter this exhibition into your schedule!

In the 16th and 17th century, Antwerp was the hub of the flourishing art industry of a prosperous Spanish empire, and generated painters like Rubens who ran large commercial enterprises and studios, churning out commissions and employing a number of students and artists.

Other than Peter Paul Rubens,the exhibition will feature the works of Anthony Van Dyck, Jacob Jordaens ,Jan Breughel, Jan Cossiers, David Teniers and — a relatively obscure by global standards Michaelina Wautier, the only woman in the show. 28 selected masterpieces as well as 20-odd etchings and prints will be part of the exhibition.  Read more of this post
