Rude awakening #56: We aren't all graphic designers and book cover creators. Bad news I know, but it's true. And even if you are a gainfully employed graphic artist like me, then you know the right creative flow for a particular book cover design isn't always there. It happens. When it happens to me, I have to look outside of my own little world for new inspiration. 
Since Kindle books are becoming more and more popular, not just for readers but for indie writers too, the demand for new and interesting book cover designs and software is skyrocketing.

I've created several book covers already with more requests coming in all the time.

Today we're going over the proper application procedure for Dazzle Nail Lacquers, a Vegan, Hypoallergenic and toxic chemical free nail polish system, free of Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP, Camphor and Nitrocellulose. Watch our video below to see it all step by step.

Dazzle Dry is the only long lasting nail polish on the market that is a natural nail strengthener, dries rock hard in 5 minutes without UV or LED light required, is non- yellowing, will not Chip or Crack, yet can still be removed with non-acetone nail polish remover.

The System consists of Nail Prep, Base Coat and Top Coat, in addition to having over 150 colors to choose from. The Nail Prep is an alcohol based nail cleanser which also contains hydrolyzed protein, proVitamin B6 and Calcium to help strengthen and fortify natural nails. It also acts as a natural bond aid to assist with the adhesion of the Base Coat.

The Base Coat is the foundation of the Dazzle Dry system, which is a polymer blend that helps the nail polish flex with everyday heating and cooling of nails. The Base Coat must always be clear like water prior to use. If it is foggy at all we recommend running it under hot water, placing in a hot towel and some nail tech’s even keep it in their pocket to warm up at the beginning of the day. This will ensure the Base Coat is performing to its full capability throughout the day.

Apply the Base Coat generously to the nail plate with three strokes, down the middle and both sides of the nail, and be sure you cap the free edge for complete encapsulation of the nail. Allow the Base Coat to air dry, which typically takes about a minute, repeat this step again with a second coat of Base Coat to each nail. Please make sure you dip the brush between each nail to ensure the nail is coated sufficiently.

For clients that have significant ridges on their nails, a coat of Top Coat can be applied following the 2 coats of Base Coat to act as a Ridge Filler, and give the nail the fullness you are looking for. Make sure you allow this extra step to dry prior to applying the nail polish.

If there are any smudges, imperfections or bubbling on the nail, no need to reapply nail polish as our Top Coat is self correcting and will smooth that out. 

All Nail Lacquers will dry matte, but don't be alarmed because the Top Coat will give them the high gloss finish you are looking for. A matte Top Coat called Mattie is also available if desired to create the trendy matte finish on any nail polish.

Applying the Top Coat is the final step in the Dazzle Dry process. Much like the Base Coat, a generous coat of Top Coat should be applied on top of the Nail Lacquer with 3 strokes, down the middle and both sides of the nail. Again, avoid over brushing the Top Coat and cap the free edge with each stroke for encapsulation purposes. Once the Top Coat has been applied, feel free to set a timer for 5 minutes, at which point the nails will be completely dry with Gel-Like Rock Hard results. That's how to apply Dazzle Dry, the long lasting nail polish!

Not all  radio audiences listen listen in via radio. They listen online through streaming radio. Why bring that up? Because when it comes to local radio advertising in a big city like the Phoenix Metro area, the rates can be astronomical and thus not practical for small businesses.

True, the traditional signal reaches hundreds of thousands of potential listeners, but those listeners still need to hear an ad enough times to remember it. If they hear it while driving down the road, there's not much they can do about it but try to remember the name of a company, the web address, or the phone number till they reach their next stop.

Streaming radio takes local radio advertising to another level of interactivity and affordability.

First, streaming radio listeners are already online. If they're online their computers are close by. If they like an ad and want to check out a product, service, restaurant or Amazon.com to order that neato-frito Kindle book they just heard about, they can do it even before the radio ad is finished playing.

The second reason to consider streaming radio commercials as part of your marketing plan is affordability. Because the listening audience is smaller than that of traditional airwave listeners, the cost per radio play falls dramatically, without any drop in quality. Listen in to a sample of two streaming radio spots produced by the Arizona Video Company that will soon play on KKNT 960 AM "The Patriot" in Phoenix, Arizona.

Now let's compare costs: The average rate per thirty-second spot on a talk radio station like KKNT recently was about $25-$35 per play. For streaming radio that rate could be between $3 - $5 per play. If you wanted to have your ad play 3 times per day Monday through Friday, your streaming ad cost is only $45-$75 for the week! And remember, your audience is already online. If they hear your website address, the likelihood of interested listeners responding is significant. It's just a click away!

Does this put local radio advertising in a whole new light? Streaming radio commercials may be an affordable marketing option you haven't considered before!

Recently, we caught up with the Tempe Plumbing crew of King Plumbing, Heating and AC for a photo shoot, a new company video, and some streaming radio ads. Yes, the Arizona Video Company does all that! We'll be adding the photos and videos to the rest of their online marketing plan. The streaming radio ads will play on a local talk radio station.

For the new company video production, we used our Canon G10 to shoot Terry Cope against our in-studio green screen, then used our magic to place him into a virtual studio background. Terry read the script from a teleprompter and tried to be as relaxed as possible. He admits to being more comfortable with a pipe wrench than a video camera, but we think he did all right. Watch the YouTube video below then ask yourself if you you'd like to do business with these guys...
