			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why pay a publicist outrageous fees to get you a tiny insignificant article in a newspaper or magazine rag when you can literally become an industry niche sensation overnight using a carefully constructed video and a handful of <a href="http://www.baltimore-movers.us" class="kblinker" title="More about long &raquo;">long</a> tail industry specific keywords?</p>
<p>Traditional publicists have become that&#8217;72 bowling ally loitering, disco dancing reject while a new breed of publicists have stepped in and transformed the industry from paper, to cyberspace in only a few short years. Why traditional publicists have been adjusting that pathetic comb over hairstyle, young and aggressive publicists have been creating publicity techniques that deliver results in 24 to 48 hours as opposed to 6 to 8 weeks and as far as results, there is no comparison.</p>
<p>Internet marketing and publicity techniques such as strategic video submission, if done correctly will transform the direction of a failing company to &#8220;THE&#8221; industry powerhouse almost instantly by loading the video with solid, well thought out descriptions and targeted long tail keyword tags. A publicist who understand the concept of pure video publicity can tailor a campaign that can outperform any traditional publicity technique ever devised by the good ole&#8217; boy networks who overcharge and under deliver for their clients.</p>
<p>Video promotion will expand far past the tiny geographic proximity of a city, across state lines and into international territory. Publicists that specialize in video marketing and other online methods used in strategic combination with one another, will have the client dominating every aspect of their industry niche.</p>
<p>Targeted video promotion by the Web 2.0 type publicists translates into instant client results that build stronger client relations and can transform the future of any company in any industry. Publicity marketing will always offer a turn-key solution to massive amounts of traffic, branding, marketing exposure and all the bells and whistles of a dozen traditional publicity firms.</p>

Call Princeton Corporate Solutions at 267-233-0183 to feel the power of real <a href='http://princetoncorporatesolutions.com/princeton_corporate_solutions_publicity_marketing_services.html'>Internet Publicity</a> you can count on.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[So many companies dream of going public both as a growth and exit strategy but unfortunately few succeed with this process. The third party audit, sponsoring of the S1 and 211 by a market maker and SEC comments stage is just one of the obstacles involved with taking a company public.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So many companies dream of going public both as a growth and exit strategy but unfortunately few succeed with this process. The third party audit, sponsoring of the S1 and 211 by a market maker and SEC comments stage is just one of the obstacles involved with taking a company public. The attempt at going public and actually achieving a symbol are two entirely different things and if you are lucky enough to achieve a symbol there&#8217;s a completely separate area of expertise needed to keep your stock trading and to preserve a company&#8217;s longevity in the marketplace.</p>
<p>Here are some things you need to keep in mind when gearing up to take your company public. Forget everything that you&#8217;ve read and heard and pay attention to what you&#8217;re about to read because this is the straight forward, objective reality of the process. First, do not hire an attorney to take you public as they will take you on a <a href="http://www.baltimore-movers.us" class="kblinker" title="More about long &raquo;">long</a> drawn out process to get as many billable hours as possible, instead, hire a consulting firm whose sole business model is to take companies public and take advantage of the relationships that they have with attorneys. This is the first rule: hire a consulting firm that offers a <a href="http://www.baltimore-locksmiths.com" class="kblinker" title="More about complete &raquo;">complete</a> A to Z turn-key solution for taking a company through the process of going public, achieving a symbol and preserving the trade with a solid, ongoing post public investor relations strategy.</p>
<p>Next, when you&#8217;ve decided on a consulting firm evaluate their team, don&#8217;t ask for references to call to research their track record, better yet, ask for symbols of previous clients and links to the Edgar database to check out current deals in the comments stage. The proof is in the empirical track record, not potentially fraudulent phone references that are easily engineered and BS.</p>
<p>Now look at their team. Make sure that the consulting group has a solid legal team, market makers, investor relations team, auditing group and someone well versed in the comments stage response as this can be one of the major hang-ups in achieving your symbol in a timely manner. Also, most important, they absolutely MUST have a solid group of investors to fund the process for equity and to sell their shares into the marketplace post public to create a market for your stock as well as a network of market makers familiar with your deal to piggyback off of the sponsoring market maker&#8217;s 211.</p>
<p>About one month away from symbol achievement you&#8217;ll want to meet with your consultants to get a solid IR strategy together for a big offering dbut. You will want to set up a strategy for 30 day IR intensives every other month with general corporate publicity strategies in between. I suggest changing your IR firm each quarter to keep it fresh and open up your trade to a new network of investors.</p>
<p>One special note to consider is that when you are raising your initial round of capital from seed investors, the fastest way to do this is to have a fist full of contracts and purchase orders in hand to strengthen your position and publicize this reality with an arsenal of press releases. Its 100 times easier to raise capital if you are showing seed investors a handful of &#8217;soon to be&#8217; cash than to solicit them empty handed.</p>
<p>Obviously there are a multitude of other issues that you need to take into consideration when going public so find a consulting firm that can help you make it happen. Don&#8217;t try to venture out into these <a href="http://www.baltimore-waterdamage.com" class="kblinker" title="More about water &raquo;">waters</a> on your own as you&#8217;ll be diving into shark infested waters and you&#8217;ll almost certainly fail.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Private Placement Memorandums and Direct Public Offerings, the most common mistakes made. When gearing up to raise capital it is typically a business owners first instinct to simply throw together a business plan and find the cheapest company to put together the private placement memorandum and then seek funding. What these professionals don\&#8217;t realize is that they are doing things in reverse and often times a PPM is not a standalone solution to financial needs.</p>
<p>The first problem is the most companies will first write a business plan and cheap PPM and look for a capital solutions last, when strategically speaking, one should first find a full service solution who has a database of investors ready to fund properly structured corporations with well authored business plans and private placement memos. After you find a company that has a ready network of seasoned investors you will often find that this firm will also structure your business and documents so that you are able to attract the attention of these investors. Next, don\&#8217;t make the mistake of hiring just anybody to write your biz plan. You need to find a professional author who is well rooted in the art of technical writing and has a solid comprehension of your industry.</p>
<p>Now it\&#8217;s time to write the PPM. Here is a warning that will most likely go in one ear and out the other but you must never choose the cheapest service for your PPM you will regret it and this is a guarantee. Investors see these documents all day everyday and they know a template when they see it. Don\&#8217;t believe for a second that you will get a viable private placement memo that will actually achieve funding for anything less than $3,000; it\&#8217;s just not going to happen. There is too much work involved in putting a fund-able strategy together and you\&#8217;ll never find an experienced firm to do it for cheap.</p>
<p>The moral of the story is to first find an investor finder solution with a solid network of investors, second have this company write your business plan and private placement memorandum to fit the needs of their investor base and lastly, talk to this consultant about helping you perform a DPO (Direct Public Offering) to their group. This is what separates the men from the boys in the venture capital consulting industry.</p>
<p>Legitimate consultants who stand behind their work will take your PPM directly to their investor base and help you raise capital quickly. In return for this service the company may want a modest equity position in addition to their fee but it is always worth it and typically they will take the final step and have their investors pay to take your company public. This is the ultimate for any company that is seeking a <a href="http://www.baltimore-movers.us" class="kblinker" title="More about long &raquo;">long</a> term funding solution.</p>
<p>Remember the order: 1. Find an investor finder 2. Have that company write your biz plan and PPM 3. Convince the firm to perform a DPO for fast funding 4. Offer some equity to sweeten the pot so that they take you public!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are several reasons why a company would decide to go public; here are some of the advantages. Liquidity is a popular reason for going public via OTCBB or IPO, many global lenders and private equity groups will lend against stock collateral. Private companies lose time jumping through hoops with various FICO driven line of credit and lending programs with outrageous interest rates while a public company can strategically offer stock for sale or collateral. Run a solid company with growth and a sea of content stock holders and you&#8217;ve got your own cash register to grow your company.</p>
<p>Another popular reason for going public is to offer stock options to <a href="http://www.baltimore-locksmiths.com" class="kblinker" title="More about key &raquo;">key</a> employees which creates and retains loyalty while reducing cost of compensation. There is no better way to have employees go the extra mile day in and day out than rewarding them with a piece of the company. Stock options are also a way to attract those prized executives that are in demand.</p>
<p>Having a public company allows massive buying power from the perspective of growth through acquisition. Find a company that is the perfect strategic alliance and buy them with company stock. This method of expansion has served the interests of top tier companies since Standard Oil.</p>
<p>What about those companies owned by an individual or a close knit group of entrepreneurs who are getting up there in age and need to start thinking about an exit strategy? Public companies demand higher sale prices and sell faster because of the flexibility of the structure. We could go on and on about the advantages of going public.</p>
<p>Start-up companies wishing to investigate this concept of fundraising you may want to consider the OTCBB, this is a solid and regulated formation to trade your stock publicly with stock holder confidence as opposed to a lesser trusted option called Pink Sheets. For corporations with some age and capital and IPO may be the best way to go, though this process is expensive and can take more than a year, it&#8217;s worth it for the right</p>
