Change The Style Of Your Interior With A Minimum Of Costs
Clark Vansteensel
The style of your interior depends for a great part on the decoration on the walls. Using the right picture on the right place can make your room look bigger. I experienced this for myself when I came in this business. I do sell reproduction paintings, you know.
Actually, I came in the reproduction painting business because I was amazed about what one painting can do to your living room. Let me explain. I had an old painting on my wall that looked very nice. But, there was something missing. I decided that I had to replace it. I always wanted a Van Gogh, but I knew I would never be able to buy one.
After a few months I discovered that there was a business that did just what I was looking for. I bought a reproduction painting from them, and this is the way my own business started. I was overwhelmed by the artistic talent of the reproductionist who captured the realistic impressionism of Van Gogh. So I decided to work together with these guys.
I figured out they use the same techniques the old masters used. With several painters who are specialized in one artist, and only reproduce work of that artist. There are specialists of Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin and a lot more impressionists.
Since I started this business I feel like helping other people realize there dream. They are affordable for everyone. You can already buy a "real" Van Gogh for as less as 120 USD. This is not too much for a beautiful lasting post-impressionistic piece of artwork.

PR Trump Style – Marketing
PR Trump Style
Susan Harrow
If anyone knows how to toot his own horn its Donald Trump. How does he get away with it How can you follow in the footsteps of his success
1. Balance Your Bragging with Boyishness.
Sure, Trump is a loud mouth, but hes also self-deprecating, making fun of his hair, his bimbos, and his appetites. He lets you know that he knows hes being a braggart, but its all in good fun. You can do the same by making light of your foibles while touting your achievements.
2. Coin a phrase.
How many times had we heard the words *Youre fired* before Trump used it in The Apprentice Boardroom Trump made the phrase new by using it in a surprising way. Once he discovered its effectiveness he made it his trademark. Hes fair, but tough. He walks his talk by making instant decisions, then pointing that fat finger at one of the unsuspecting apprentice hopefuls and uttering the feared phrase. Is there an age old phrase you can make yours by some unique gesture or by using it in a surprising circumstance Phrases are all a part of branding. Find a few that suit you.
3. Do Something Outrageous.
The public loves a daredevil--be it with words or actions. Trump lives large. He jets around in big planes. He owns big places. He has lovers with big bosoms. He has big hair. While *bigger* isnt necessarily better, bigger gets noticed. Its not my style, but maybe its yours.
Big comes with many faces. The public loves actions that take courage--or a lot of money. What impresses me isnt money, but the adventuresome spirit. Adventure filmmaker Scott Lindgren, who is considered one of the extreme sports most prominent heroes, kayaked down the Tsango River in Tibet. Navigating down it was likened to *snowboarding down Everest.* Lindgren is devoted to doing treks in wild and challenging rivers in circumstances that havent been done before. Hes after a *pure* experience, and eschews publicity and moneymaking. The irony is that he gets both.
Ultimately, no matter how much publicity you want, its letting go of the need for it that will take you to places that perhaps Trump or even Lindgren have not gone.
