SAN MATEO, Calif. - April 26, 2016 - PRLog -- Attn: Business Editor re MONEY, MARKETING MATH, SALES CALLS, MANUFACTURING…AND NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK

During the course of your coverage of various events and aspects of National Small Business Week, here are some things that your readers might find very entertaining and very interesting, especially along the lines of MONEY, MATH, SALES CALLS AND MANUFACTURING.

Here are four items that will resonate with all kinds of businesses:

1) Re: MONEY...a song about money called "Big Bucks"...You can hear a free clip of "Big Bucks" at www.barrows.com/music.html

Why does anyone start a small business? To try to make a lot of money! And sometimes, making money can be very, very frustrating. One way to vent some of your frustrations about money is with a song about money called "Big Bucks."

You can hear a FREE CLIP of "Big Bucks" at www.barrows.com/music.html

There is also a link on that page where you can download the song for 99 cents on iTunes.

2) Re: BUSINESS MATH...AND SOME EASY-TO-USE ADVERTISING MATH THAT EVERY BUSINESS SHOULD START USING IMMEDIATELY...

During National Small Business Week, and during every week of the year, businesses of all kinds are always trying to figure out the best ways to spend their advertising budget.

Now they can download a booklet about some easy-to-use advertising math that can help all kinds of businesses make a lot more money.

The math will show you how you can actually QUANTIFY the relationship between your advertising and sales and you can use the math to help you increase your sales, increase your profit and decrease your risk. The math and how to use it are explained in a booklet called "The Barrows Popularity Factor." You can read more about it and download "The Barrows Popularity Factor" ebook for $4.95 at www.barrows.com/bpfinfo.html

"You can read the whole booklet in about an hour and the math is so easy-to-use that all of the calculations can be done by one person, in moments, with just a simple calculator, says Barrows...and as they say in advertising...'It really Works!"

3) Re: SALES CALLS...and a never-ending poem about making sales calls

One thing that every business will identify with is the never-ending effort to increase your business by making as many sales calls as you possibly can...and along those lines, every large and small business...and every outside salesperson in the universe, will identify with a poem about selling called "SALES CALLS."

You can see a previous version of the poem at http://prlog.org/12301284

For the most recent version of the poem, contact Robert Barrows at 650-344-4405.

4) Re: MANUFACTURING...AND THE STATE OF MANUFACTURING IN AMERICA... AND THE STATE OF MANUFACTURING IN THE AREA IN WHICH YOU LIVE...

What is the state of manufacturing in your area?

*Is manufacturing increasing where you live, or has it been decreasing?

*How many factories have opened up or closed down?

*How many jobs have been added or lost?

*How many jobs and how much manufacturing has been outsourced to other countries?

*What is the human and economic toll of all that outsourcing?

Those are the themes that run through a poem about manufacturing called "It used to be Made in America." The poem is about the loss of jobs and the consequences of the outsourcing of manufacturing to other countries. You can see the poem online at www.itusedtobemadeinamerica.com and also at www.madeinusa.us.com

Barrows hopes to be able to use the poem to help bring more awareness to the need for manufacturers and retailers to start making more of their manufacturing and purchasing decisions to offer more goods that will be made in America.  He hopes to be able to develop several verses of the poem into some lyrics for some country and hip-hop songs and he hopes to be able to develop the websites into a series of money-making directories about manufacturing, jobs, products, requests for proposals and sources of funding for products and projects that would be made in America. The directories would be on the www.madeinusa.us.com website.

(PLEASE NOTE: Media companies might also be interested in developing these kinds of directories because they could produce very substantial revenues on an ongoing basis and they could also give media companies access to hundreds of thousands of potential advertisers. Companies that would be interested in taking a look at a proposal about these directories should contact Robert Barrows at 650-344-4405.)

SO...AS YOU LOOK FOR THEMES AND THINGS TO WRITE ABOUT FOR YOUR STORIES ABOUT NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK, AND AT VARIOUS OTHER TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR...BE SURE TO TAKE A LOOK AT "BIG BUCKS," "THE BARROWS POPULARITY FACTOR,"  A POEM CALLED "SALES CALLS," AND A POEM CALLED "IT USED TO BE MADE IN AMERICA."

Each of these items can add an interesting perspective to business, and each of these items could resonate with your audience and give you a lot of things to write about.
