Other than this general etiquettes of business card exchange, there are certain etiquettes that are specific to certain countries. Two of most remarkable instances are found in China and Japan.

In China, it is general etiquette to hold business card in both hands while offering it to somebody and you should never write on someone’s card unless you are told to do so. It is customary in China, to mention your title in business card and it is preferred if you have one side of business card printed in Chinese with golden fonts as gold is considered to be an auspicious color.

In Japan, accepted rules of business card exchange are somewhat opposite to China. Here business cards are always received in two hands but can be offered in one hand. Business cards are treated with same respect as that of actual person. Business cards should mention title of person as much emphasis is given to status and hierarchy in Japan.

Business cards are one of most powerful marketing tools for your company. If you know how to use cards to their best advantage you can be sure that they will give you multiples of what you have invested to get those business cards done.

Unfortunately for some, cable and satellite companies can’t reach everyone, especially in remote parts of world. There are various reasons why this happens, but it doesn’t help those who are left without.

One of problems with cable TV is expense that goes into running cables through a town. All too often towns cannot afford contracts required to get cable, or they feel monthly charges would be too steep for their residents because of wiring problems cable companies would have to overcome. Some towns just don’t want cables running through their streets.

The trouble with satellite is that you need a clear view of a certain part of sky in order to get good reception, and many in wooded areas just aren’t able to cut down enough trees to accomplish that. So there are quite a number of people forced to watch local TV through haze of antenna interferences. No cable, no satellite, no hope of it changing in near future.

For some, who might not even get good or adequate reception from an antenna, there's always VCRs and DVDs. But even they can get old fast, and depending on quality of service from local video store, their choices could be limited.

Recently there has been some advancement in online TV and movie viewing, however, that just might solve problem for these people as well as for those who feel monthly fees of cable and satellite are outrageous. New companies are springing up that offer same services of cable, satellite, and even video store companies for a one time fee to download their application to your computer. One of leaders of this new type of online service, TV.org offers a great package that includes a large number of TV channels, premium movies, MP3, DVD, and game downloads.

So it won’t be long when everyone will be able to watch HBO, or Discovery Channel without worrying about location, budget, town ordinances, trees or anything. In this world of high tech, there’s something for everybody!"

End of Story

If you happen to have visited TV.org, you'll discover that there actually is such a company, and yes, they have an affiliate program.

And yes, it was pretty much taken out of thin air! And it's just one example of how to use a storyline with a niche market. There are countless other ways and styles depending on your purpose and product. Isn't Niche Marketing wonderful?

There are just so many different ways and reasons you can come up with them. The above example came just as scenario stated, by simply browsing news blogs and creating a storyline based on a few short clips.

But until now, some Niche Markets were nearly as hard to get customers to, as "brick and mortar" storefronts. The most that could be done with them is to set up a shopping cart page and generate traffic for them from exchanges.

Then you'd have to wait and hope someone was looking for what you were selling at exact time your page came up in their browser.

However, if you start Using Storylines With Your Niche Marketing, all sorts of new venues will open up for you. By using storylines as sales campaigns, your areas of advertising broaden greatly. You can send out press releases, advertise directly through ezine articles, create news clips for syndication, you name it!
