>My Fondest Camping Memories Posted by nick_niesen on October 27th Cheap Air Max 96 , 2010
I have very fond memories of different camping trips when I was a child. These trips really brought my family together in many different ways and I always had a great time. One of my favorite things to do is to camp in the wilderness. I really love to hunt and fish, and camping puts you in a great position to do either one. Sometimes I like to just sit out in nature and observe the animals in their natural habitat.
The hustle and bustle of every day life can drain all of your energy, but a stay in the woods can really rejuvenate your soul. One of the best things about camping in the woods is how quiet and peaceful everything is. The best camping trip I ever took was a canoe trip with my mom when I was around twelve years old.
We drove to Arkansas to take a canoe trip down the Buffalo River. The camping trip was scheduled to take about a week, and I was very excited, because we would be staying near the river in a tent every night. We started the trip and I was designated the navigator, so I was able to read the map Cheap Air Max 95 , which I thought was very cool. Most of the time the river was very tame, and we just floated down the river very slowly. During this time I was able to fish, and generally be lazy.
I caught about twenty perch during the trip, but I was disappointed, because I could see rainbow trout all around the canoe and I could not get very many to bite. I think I only caught three trout during the entire camping trip. However when I did catch these trout it was a lot of fun, because they would pull the canoe around a little bit while I was reeling them in. A few of the sections of the river had some small rapids in it Cheap Air Max 93 , and we even went over a small waterfall at one time. This camping trip was great fun and I will remember it the rest of my life.
Under normal circumstances, you'd shout it from the rooftops. After all, when you have something urgent to say, you want others to know about it, right? But when it comes to "limited time only" offers, lately I've noticed a disturbing trend. Copywriters seem to actually be hiding the phrase! Let me give you some examples.
I received a fabulous email from a ladies clothing site at which I like to shop. It was for 50% off my entire purchase of anything on their site (clearance items or regular price). Wahoo! What woman wouldn't love that? Trouble is Cheap Air Max 90 , I almost missed the deal due to procrastination.
Like most busy women, I was going to go to the site and shop? later. However, I happened to notice, way down at the bottom of the email in tiny, little type, that the sale ended in two days. Why would they think the phrase "Limited time only - sale ends Friday Cheap Air Max 720 , July 15, 2005 at midnight" was insignificant?
When I saw that phrase, I immediately zipped over to the site and began bargain hunting. (Found some fantastic deals, too!)
Here's another example.
As I was sitting at a fast food restaurant eating lunch, I was fiddling with the paper "tent" ads on the table. One was for a new salad (nope, not in a healthy mood) and one was for strawberry cheesecake. That sounded good Cheap Air Max 360 , but I was almost finished with my sandwich and fries so I really didn't have room. I wasn't going home so I couldn't take it to go. I thought I'd just pick up a slice the next time I ate at this place until I saw - at the very bottom of the ad in teeny, tiny type - the "limited time only" phrase.
I know this restaurant. They bring new, test items in and out all the time. If they said, "Limited time only," I knew they meant it. Chances are (since I didn't get to eat at this restaurant often) I wouldn't get to try their cheesecake. If I had known it was a limited time offer, I would have ordered a slice before I got full.
Don't Play Games With Limited Time Offers
Make a point to let customers know they have to act fast Cheap Air Max 2 Uptempo , or they'll miss out. The fear of being left out or left behind is a basic human motivator that can be triggered pretty easily. The trick is to actually let your customers know an offer is limited in some way. Here's how to create a powerful limited time offer.
Things go on sale all the time, so if you're selling clothing or food or office supplies, you might have limited time offers that end simply because the sale date has past. However, if there is a reason your offer is limited (limited supply of items, testing a new item, etc.) Cheap Air Max2 Light , tell the customer. This can actually increase the sense of urgency.
Make your offer credible. How do you do that? By sticking to your word. If you say an offer will end on a certain date, end it or give a darn good reason for extending the offer. If customers see that you continually tout "limited time offer," but keep the discount running past the deadline, you'll lose credibility and sales.
Give a reasonable deadline. Customers need time to act. Car manufacturers run incentive offers for a month or longer in part because of the high cost of vehicles and the need for arranging financing. The online clothing site I mentioned earlier set its deadline at two days (customers could easily click over to their site and shop immediately). Depending on the item, the purchasing medium and whether there is a need for financing or such, you can adjust your deadline to whatever works best for you.
When your customers understand you're making an offer that will expire shortly Cheap Air Max 270 , they are motivated to act now, rather than later. If you give them a good enough reason not to procrastinate, you can see a major surge in sales. Urgency is never something you want to hide in your copy.
