  One of the best ways to capture and use customer credit card information is with a merchant account (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) that is tied to your electronic shopping system. It used to be hard to get such a merchant account but no longer. It seems like every company out there is ready to give (well, not give but sell) you a merchant account, but beware...

  If you read this article and can honestly say that your Web
  designer doesn't engage in these practices, by all means keep
  them around! There are, Heaven knows, precious few such designers
  around. But if you're like most of us, at least a few of these
  behaviors are likely to sound all too familiar. In that case,
  it's your duty to turn off your Web designer's money spigot and
  find someone else (or learn to do this stuff yourself; it's not
  that hard).

  Sigmund Freud wrote: "The most favorable condition for comic pleasure is a generally happy disposition in which one is in the mood for laughter."
  
  This concept is called "in fun." If you want your audience to laugh, they must be in fun. You, the speaker, must be in fun. The emcee or program coordinator must be in fun. The whole program should be designed in fun. Do anything you can to be sure your audience knows that it's OK to laugh...

  People like to get good deals on the things they buy. Using electronic coupons and rebates is one good way of doing this. And, as a bonus, some people shop specifically for discounted products, so if you are known as a merchant who gives coupons from time to time, you'll be on the "watch list" of these bargain shoppers...

  Personally, I don't really like coupons. I rarely use the things. In fact, I come close to going berserk in the check-out line at my local grocery store when I see a thick stack of coupons being pulled from the purse of the lady ahead of me...

  RESEARCH YOUR AUDIENCE It amazes me how some speakers will go to
  a speaking engagement and really not know anything about the audience
