Furniture is one of the most important facets of making a house a home. Not only is it necessary for a house to function, but it can also turn an empty, bare room into a cozy and fashionable space fit for a variety of people.

Furniture is what determines the style of an entire room, and using designer furniture when furnishing your home is one way to get a style all your own.

Exclusive Furniture in your Home Spotlight #1: It's Not Retail

One of the many reasons to use designer furniture in your home is because it is unique. It will become a piece of your home that is unlike any other. More often than not, the fabrics that are available to an interior designer are not readily available for retail.

If you choose to order upholstered furniture through the designer, you give yourself more options to choose from, including more colors to coordinate with the overall feel of your home and more fabrics to coordinate with the rest of your pieces.

Exclusive Furniture in your Home Spotlight #2: It's Custom Made Especially for You

There is nothing more unique and less generic than using custom-made furniture when decorating your home. Choosing customized furniture made especially for your needs is a great way to put your own stamp on your home.

Working with a designer also allows you the chance to flex your creativity. You are able to communicate your requirements, demands and desires to the designer. The end result should be exactly what you want.

Another advantage to working with a designer to create custom furniture is the chance to design one space in accordance with the rest of your home. Having a flow throughout your home is important to many people and using tailor-made furniture can help you to achieve that look.

Exclusive Furniture in your Home Spotlight #3: It Just Looks Better

It may seem obvious, but buying designer furniture for your home generally tends to look better. If you don't want to buy that generic sofa from the department store down the street, and instead are hoping for a statement piece that would only be suitable for your home, customized furniture is your best option.

For anyone who loves a little style, or for the person who lives for design, custom-made furniture is the best way to transform your home. Even if you are design-challenged, furniture with an edge and with a flair of style can change how you live.

There are many people who are interested in having an internet presence, however are looking for a just a cheap basic website. This article describes how to find a very cheap web design company. There are many people and companies offering a web design service. There is a market for a basic web design service and in my opinion you should be able to obtain a website for under a £100. Please feel free to contact me if you are unable to.

There are various times of the year when web design companies are likely to offer some great deals. This is normally in the summer or at christmas time. Companies who are just setting out in offering a web design service will often offer very reasonable rates at the outset, basically to build up a portfolio. There were many different websites listed, after a few phone calls, he managed to find a very good deal. There are plenty of people offering quality website design services, who do not charge huge fees, just keep looking and you are sure to find them.

A. Custom Website Design - The Cost
I would be remiss if I got into a discussion of custom website design without discussing the cost involved. In terms of actual monetary cost it should be noted that the cost is not owed to the custom nature of the site. If you want an original design, you will need a skilled designer. Professional web design can be costly. Even simple sites often cost more than $100, and more complex sites can range to $500, $1,000, or more. The most advanced sites can cost several thousand dollars to design.

Since your site is to be customized, it is likely that you will also need graphics, multiple pages, and specialized programs. Thus, you would be best served seeking out a website design company that charges based on overall complexity, rather than in discreet amounts by hour or page. Which leads to time. These sorts of websites are not simple drag-and-drop processes; they often require detailed stylesheets, complex programs, and unique graphics.

If an immediate on-line presence is required, you may very well lack the time for custom work. You know your field, your audience. Your knowledge is an integral part of the design process, which means that you will have to spend your own time and effort considering the site, communicating with your designers, and making decisions about the options and drafts they present.

Custom website design can be useful. If you desire your web pages to be created in this manner, then don’t shy away from these costs, but go into things with them in mind—and take advantage of any opportunity to minimize them.

B. Mortgage Website Design Basics for Mortgage Lead Generation Success
The mortgage industry is a competitive business. Practically every marketing medium is used to generate new customers. Mortgage companies are now facing lower conversion rates, which means lower revenue for their company. If you're going to be generating mortgage leads online, then the first step is obvious -- you need a mortgage website that is optimized to do this. The two main problems that mortgage websites have are lack of quality content and lack of Internet marketing knowledge to drive traffic to their websites.

In order for your website to be effective and generate mortgage leads, it must be developed properly. With that in mind, we will discuss the most important mortgage website design factors. Your website architecture, on page search engine optimization, content, navigation, calls to action and the tools and resources you offer on your website are probably the most important factors that contribute to mortgage web sites that generate high-quality leads.

These are the building blocks to a successful mortgage website. If any mortgage website lacks just one of these factors, their mortgage lead conversion rates will go down and ultimately they will be leaving revenue on the table. In any case, if you're dealing with a mortgage website design company, it's important to keep the end goal in mind, which is:

Mortgage Website Design Factors - Mortgage website architecture, on-page seo, high quality mortgage related content, visitor friendly navigation, calls to action, and mortgage tools and resources are some of the elements that make up high converting mortgage websites. These are the building blocks of building successful mortgage websites and mortgage website design, but are by no means exhaustive.

In the pharmaceutical industry, a lot of research, time, manpower and money goes into R&D for the development of novel drugs and bringing them into market. If the innovations are not protected with a proper fence of integrated technologies then generic companies would exploit the invention without giving much benefit to the innovator company. Hence, it is mandatory for the innovator company to apply for patent protection at least in those geographical areas where the innovator company wishes to market their product, retain monopoly and refrain their competitors entering into the market till the patent term for the innovation expires. This article discusses various strategies employed by the innovator companies in US to extend the life of the patent and gaining market exclusivity for the pharmaceutical product.

It is estimated that around 7 to 12 years of extensive research is involved to bring the innovation into a shape, which can be marketed. Apart from product development there are hassles regarding approval of the pharmaceutical product by respective drug authorities. Considering the patent term or the protection offered by the patent to be 20 years from the filing date of the patent, effectively a period of 8 to 10 years would be available with the innovator company to get benefits of their developed product. Innovator companies execute various strategies to extend the life of the patent as well as the product.

On grant of patent for the invented drug and regular payment of maintenance fees gives the patent holder monopoly over the drug and rights to exclude other from manufacturing, using and selling the patented invention for a stipulated time. On expiration of the patent, generic competitors would exploit the market, which would lead to reduction of market share and revenue loss for the innovator company. Hence, additional patents are filed in order to fence the invented drug or product. These additional patents for the extension of invention / product protection could comprise of method of preparation, new formulation, method of preparation of formulation, drug derivatives and its metabolites, polymorphs, stereo-selective enantiomers etc. Additional patents filed could also cover improvements to the invention or new uses, which are not mentioned in the initial granted patent.

We will discuss in brief various strategies employed by the innovator companies in US to extend the life of the patent and reap maximum fruits for an extended period of time.

The Hatch-Waxman Act provides a system wherein the New Drug Applicant (NDA) holder could apply to have extension of its patent. The extension was meant to compensate the applicant for a portion of any time lost after the issuance of a patent during which the testing and approval phases of the FDA's regulatory review process commenced.

Following are the paths by which patent term can be extended:

1) Patent term adjustments - delay during patent prosecution

The patent term adjustment is provided in case of United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) fails to act to patent application from patent filing or fail to reply to applicant's appeal in a stipulated time.
The purpose of the patent term adjustment provision was to guarantee that patent applicants would still have a patent term of at least seventeen years from grant under the twenty-year patent term system.

2) Patent extensions - delays due to regulatory approval

USPTO can restore the term of a patent that is lost due to delays during regulatory approval by Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Patents relating to drug products, medical devices, food additives, and color additives are eligible for patent extension. The maximum of patent term that may be restored is five years.

3) Interim term extensions

If the term of the patent expires before the certificate of extension is given to the application, then the Director extends the term of the patent up to one year under Interim term extension. This extension is only possible if the director feels that the patent should be considered for extension.

Apart from patent term extensions, market exclusivities can be gained separately. Exclusivity gives FDA approved drugs market exclusivity which does not allow the generic competitors to enter into the market till the exclusivity is valid.

Following are the market exclusivities offered by FDA:

1) New Chemical Entity (NCE) exclusivity

NCE exclusivity is awarded for 5 years to NDA applicant who receives the first approval for a drug product. No salt or ester of the novel chemical entity should have ever received FDA approval. During this 5-year period, the FDA is stopped from accepting an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for review. The only exception is that if a patent is also listed on the NDA product subject to NCE exclusivity, the FDA may accept an ANDA after 4 of the 5-year period has expired, if the ANDA contains a Paragraph IV certification challenging the patent. NCE exclusivity can be considered as a total exclusivity as generic competitors cannot submit or approve their product while the exclusivity is valid.

2) New Use / New Clinical Studies exclusivity

This kind of exclusivity is granted for a period of three years to NDA holder who applies for new use of approved drug. New clinical studies are to be carried out to get approval from FDA for use of the approved drug for its use for new indication. Exclusivity can be granted for new dosage form (Sustained release dosage form, Controlled release dosage form), a new use or indication, a new salt or ester of a drug product, change in concentration, novel drug delivery etc. The 3-year exclusivity may block FDA approval of a generic version until after the exclusivity expires. It is also possible that the FDA approves generic version if approval does not infringe on the protected change.

3) Orphan Drug exclusivity

Seven-year orphan drug exclusivity is granted to promote research and marketing for the development of drugs to treat rare diseases. US FDA had defined Orphan drug / rare diseases as those diseases affecting 200,000 or fewer patients in the US. This exclusivity period can block the FDA from approving competing generics of a drug product for the orphan use. Applicant may request orphan drug designation for a previously unapproved drug or for an already marketed drug. One or more applicants may receive orphan drug status for the same drug for the same orphan disease.

4) Pediatric exclusivity

Pediatric exclusivity gives an incremental 6 months exclusivity to an existing marketing exclusivity that has been earlier granted or to a patent protection. This type of exclusivity is granted to clinical studies of drugs for pediatric population. This type of exclusivity ensures an incentive for an NDA applicant for the clinical studies carried out specifically for pediatric patients. Products with no patent life or exclusivity remaining cannot qualify for pediatric exclusivity.

Hence, it is seen that various methods are adopted by the innovator companies to extend the term of their patent to extend their monopoly in the filed of pharmaceuticals.

The term "intellectual property" denotes the specific legal rights which authors, inventors and other property holders may hold and exercise, and not the intellectual work itself. The laws confer a bundle of exclusive rights in relation to the particular form or manner in which ideas or information are expressed or manifested, and not in relation to the ideas or concepts themselves.

They are designed to protect different forms of subject matter. Copyright may subsist in creative and artistic works (e.g. books, poems, movies, music, paintings, photographs, databases, and software) and give a copyright holder the exclusive right to control reproduction or adaptation of such works for a certain period of time.

A patent may be granted for a new, useful, and non-obvious invention, and gives the patent holder an exclusive right to commercially exploit the invention for a certain period of time (typically 20 years from the filing date of a patent application).

A trademark is a distinctive sign which is used to distinguish the products or services of differentbusiness.

An industrial design right protects the form of appearance, style or design of an industrial object (e.g. spare parts, furniture, or textiles).

A trade secret (which is sometimes either equated with, or a subset of, "confidential information") is secret, non-public information concerning the commercial practices or proprietary knowledge of a business, public disclosure of which may sometimes be illegal.

Patents, trademarks, and designs rights are sometimes collectively known as industrial property, as they are typically created and used for industrial or commercial purposes.

The protection of intellectual property is that the laws facilitate and encourage the pursuit and disclosure of innovation into the public domain for the common good, by granting authors and inventors exclusive rights to exploit their works and invention for a limited period. From the perspective of economics, intellectual property is a temporary monopoly
in the use or exploitation of that good, supported by legal enforcement mechanisms.

Designer goods are coveted by one and all but not everyone can afford them. This is not hard to understand - they are very pricey and you can get cheaper products that are similar in function. However, the real appeal of designer goods is not in their functionality but in their brand name. These goods are coveted essentially because they reflect on the person who is wearing or carrying them. They have thus traditionally been in the realm of celebrities or the uber-rich.

However, now there are ways in which you can get designer goods at very huge discounts of up to 90%. These are the actual goods and not fakes or cheap knock-offs. So how is this possible? Through penny auctions. Penny auctions exclusively for designer goods offer a great way to grab these items at a few dollars apiece. You can get everything, from Bloomingdale's gift card to Louis Vuitton designer bags all at prices that ordinary folk can afford.

So what is the catch? Well, there is no catch as such but you need to understand how penny auctions work. These are quite unlike traditional auctions like eBay where items sell near their retail price, even if it is less than the store value. At these auctions, the final price of the item is usually a few dollars, even for very pricey goods. However, the model is a pay-per-bid auction model, which means you will need to pay a fixed amount of money for every bid that you place. This of course is quite different from say eBay where bidding is always free and the winner pays the final price and gets the product. At these auctions, the bids are paid, so the auctioneer makes money through the bidding process as well as the final price of the item. It is precisely for this reason that these auction sites can afford to offer such huge discounts.

To get started, you should first choose the right penny auction for you. If you are looking for the best designer goods, it is preferable to choose niche penny auctions. This is because these sites cater exclusively to people who want to own 100% original designer products without paying a fortune. You will not find other goods here, which means the bidding members are limited and thus you will face lower competition. In addition, these sites are helpful because they are streamlined towards catering to a particular section only.

Designer goods interest everyone but part of their appeal is exclusivity. Now, ordinary folk have a chance to feel a part of the elite through penny auctions that cater to the luxury goods section.

When it comes to careers for women, it was normally stability that was given precedence over salary. Over the last decade, with better education and opportunities, women have started coming out of the preoccupation of family carer and home management and instead are choosing more high paying jobs that don’t provide the previous stability yet give them the satisfaction of both career and a higher income.

What are those high paying jobs?
There has been a gradual shift from the traditional careers for women like nurse, dental assistant, etc to non-traditional and alternative posts like general practitioners, dentists, etc. This is a welcome change for women and society in general. When we talk about the best paying careers for women today, we easily notice that the field of medicine is dominating the charts.
A gynaecologist is a special stream of doctors who handle the diseases related to the reproductive organs of women and childbirth. This is a very important job and women have played a massively important role. No wonder such an important job is paid so well.

• It is time women stopped limiting themselves to dental assistants and instead become a dentist.
• If you try to step aside from the field of medicine and consider other alternatives, you will find there are other equally fulfilling jobs for women. Being a teacher has been a rewarding career for many women both in terms of satisfaction and income (in most locations).
• Human resources in larger firms is another attractive field where women dominate and earn a good pay package. The human resources department of a company handle the employee welfare, recruitment, social activities, etc.
• The Fashion industry has always attracted women. Fashion designers, make-up artists, event managers, etc. have amazing take home salaries that can turn a top model turn green with envy!
• The post of financial advisor may be quite a risky job as it involves giving advice on the financial matters of people, but it is a high paying job precisely for that. There are many fields like sales, psychiatry, analysis etc. that are also rewarding.

Wow! Traditional jobs which women used to hold required little educational requirements in many cases. However, all the high paying jobs usually require proper, formal education as they are most often more complex. Most require degree qualifications and in the case of a career in medicine, it’s usually a tough five to six years medical degree plus some internship.
Education may seem costly sometimes and you may be tempted to slip back and settle for a low paying job. You can always pay it back over time after you get those dream jobs.

A. Fashion Designer Education
Fashion designer school is for people that have a passion or extreme interest in all things fashion. Fashion designers will be taught to sketch their ideas, draw and cut patterns, create simple garments, fit and modify finished garments, arrange showings for press as well as buyers, compare merchandise to that of competitors, learn how to keep current, and how to visit textile showrooms when they attend fashion design school. These skills will all contribute to helping someone with a passion for fashion develop their skill and utilize it in the real world.

Most fashion designers are self-employed and simply design for individual clients. A great way to learn how to create your own methods of creating great clothing, accessories, or jewelry is to become a designer's assistant. Some fashion designers work for larger firms and this may be a great way to get a fashion designer education when you get out of fashion designer school, as well. These firms or corporations typically have a head designer, which is responsible for most of the creative aspects and supervision of the design room staff.

Assistant designers are often hired by firms and often make the first patterns and help the head designer oversee creative and personnel issues. There are also specialty designers that may be hired by corporations that will work with other designers to help create limited or special lines of clothing. Special designers will often have a specific article of clothing or accessory that they work with and often they design for a specific market or country and can play a vital role in a large design company.

There are also theatrical costume designers that create costumes or articles of clothing and accessories for plays, movies, or other theatrical productions and these designers may work on contract. The work environment for every designer varies, as some work in very professional settings while others work in very cramped and rushed environments. If you are looking at working for a firm, be sure to ask hard questions about the work environment and schedule.

Just because you just graduated from fashion designer school doesn't mean that you should be subjected to less than comfortable working conditions! Freelance fashion designer work can also be done outside of your own job so that you can slowly create your own client base away from your corporate job. Many designers make more than $20 an hour and the average salary for a designer is more than $57,000 a year!

Online income businesses are a lot more cost effective to run than the bricks and mortar type, but in these difficult economic times even they are failing and more and more businesses are closing their doors.

There is a way that it is possible for these internet businesses to increase their chances of survival and that is to offer more exclusivity in the products that they are selling.

Exclusive products will appeal to people in many different ways and at different levels. As an example people to whom status is important will always spend money no matter what the state of the economy is. Those in the lower income groups will also consider buying something exclusive if they feel that they are getting a better quality or more valuable product. You need to make sure that your product is still priced at a point where you are still able to sell it.

As a typical example let's look at the way people view clothing. There was a time when only the rich and famous wore designer label clothing, but today everyone from young children to adults aspire to own clothing and accessories with designer labels. These items are in actual fact no better than any other clothing that is available at less than half the price, but that is not what is important, people are attracted by the perceived status that goes with the designer label.

What you need to do with your legitimate internet business is develop the same kind of awareness about the product that you are promoting. How, you might wonder are you going to do this?

One method that you can use is to talk about all the exciting details that your product offers. If you are marketing an affiliate product then you could use a pre-sell page or landing page to promote the product. You can do this by sending your visitors to a pre-sell page first where you can build excitement by giving them the great details of what to expect before they even reach your website.

The idea here is to have your own unique pre-sell page which is totally different from the page provided by the affiliate company, which is the page that every other affiliate marketer will be using. In this way you are creating an immediate feeling of exclusiveness.

When things are unique they appear to be exclusive and if you highlight the features on your product in a way that makes them appear to be luxurious and go into great detail about the unique qualities your product has people will begin to believe what you are telling them. This is why copywriters will write such long sales copy on their web pages. Although to you it might become boring when you have read through it several times, to someone visiting your website for the first time, it can be very exciting.

When people are easily impressed by status them spending extra money on something does not phase them. Generally if they spend more than their budget actually allows they will feel as if they are getting something which is more exclusive than their peers can aspire to.

The beauty of this strategy is that it will create a viral effect and your sales will begin to increase dramatically because you will then be marketing from an exclusive position of status. With this kind of marketing your legitimate internet home business will grow and the state of the economy will not impact on your business in any way.

When getting a mortgage, borrowers fill the lead forms in person at the lead provider's office or online at the lead provider's website. Except in the case of Internet Mortgage and Telemarketing Leads, the lead providing companies collect the leads during office working hours, and then mail them out at night to brokers. This means that there's at least an overnight's delay in the lead transfer process.

If, on the other hand, Mortgage Brokers have their own web sites that can gather Mortgage Leads, will it not be better? Today, Lead Proving Companies are bringing in the advantages of Web based technology to their Broker clientele as follows: They help the Mortgage Broker, who is registered in their site, with efficient Lead Generation and Management Systems. These are basically web pages that can be handled by the brokers independently. They are designed in such as way that they cover all lead distribution needs as desired by the broker.

By using such Lead Generation and Management Systems the broker can manage the content, upload an Online `Form of Request for Loan' filled in by the Borrower, track visits [knowing the number of people who visited the web page], advertise the website in search engines, allocate the desired choice of lead format - html emails, .pdf email attachments, text files, fax, etc. and accomplish many more tasks.

Several independent Mortgage Brokers and Broker Firms go in for this type of system due to its obvious advantages. Broker Firms use the system with an option to work as an exclusive system [where leads reach one loan officer] or non-exclusive system (where leads reach many loan officers) by using their networking facility.

Though these leads cut an edge over other type of leads, these are more expensive, as such systems include a custom designed web site, a few hours of internet and search engine marketing. Lead Providing Companies usually charge a setup fee for the site and a fee per lead with a minimum stipulated fee. Let's take an example. A Lead Provider charges $1,000 for the website and $1 per lead per day, or a minimum fee of $30 if the leads are less than 30 per day. If the Broker's web site mobilizes 50 leads per day, the monthly fee comes to $50. If on the other hand, the site collects only 25 leads per day, the monthly fee is $30. The price includes electronic data transfer just like in paid web based email services.

Though relatively expensive, speed, confidentiality of data and the degree of freedom to the Broker render Exclusive Mortgage Broker Leads unique and popular.

Exclusivity, rarity, or uniqueness is a very strong psychological trigger for the right product or the right situation. The basic concept is to make the prospect feel that he or she is special-that you are really allowing that prospect to buy a particular product that few people can obtain regardless of price. (Sugarman, 1999).

In every metropolis throughout the United States, what were so lovingly known years ago as the "civic center" have now become "The Giant Conglomerate Sports Arena," or, "The Mega-bank Arena & Sports Complex." Somewhere, somebody got the bright idea of soliciting banks and other multi-billion dollar corporations to be the main or sole sponsor of these arenas, in exchange for certain exclusives.

For example, theirs is the only name associated with the facility. Every item sold or given away has their name and logo on it. Every performer has their name on every poster, ticket, and television commercial. They have VIP privileges for officers, who can then view the event in a cloistered box, meet the stars, and participate in exclusive flesh pressing events not available to the general public. In addition, I'm sure even the lowest employee on the corporate totem pole has their butt properly kissed when introduced to the celebrities they meet at the events had in their corporation's facility!

Exclusivity is not limited to arenas and sports complexes but to the car you may have purchased and paid a little extra for because it's a designer edition, or because the paint color is exclusive to a certain limited number produced. You may be wearing an exclusive, limited edition lipstick, dress, suit, pair of shoes - just about anything anyone gets the idea to sell, and then limit, whereby designating that item as being exclusive, and therefore more desirable.

There was a county that I worked for whose County Executive wanted to be thought of as having his pulse on the needs, and concerns of his constituency. Part of my job was to make sure he always appeared accessible, human, concerned, and informed about what was on people's minds. Among other duties, it was my job to come up with a community health objective that the county could issue RFP's for from grassroots organizations. There was a certain measure of exclusivity attached to these annual projects.

- The RFP was specifically for grassroots organizations, which automatically exclude the larger more established nonprofits.
- The health concern was exclusive: women's heart health, free breast cancer screenings with instructions for self examination.
- An "invitation-only," end of the year luncheon with awards, and a keynote speaker.
- Photo opportunities with the County Executive.
- Exposure to the press for participating agencies including photo and interview possibilities.
- An exclusive "partnership" with the Government which added to an agency's credibility, and made them automatically more "funder-friendly"

There is also exclusivity in being the "first;" the first program of this kind, our first annual "whatever" event; the first program/project of its kind in (a specific geographical location). Exclusivity can also be represented by your event guest list. If the governor is going to be there, that's exclusive, if other dignitaries will be there, that's also exclusive. If you are limiting your number of sponsors to one, or two, that is exclusive.

You can make a regular funding experience an exclusive undertaking by:
- Planning an event that will honor the funder.
- Making sure there are dignitaries there to publicly thank the funder for their insight in recognizing a need, and for their generosity in providing the funding.
- Make sure that hand-outs and novelties have the funder's name and logo if possible. Ask the funder if they have novelties or information that they'd like you to share on their behalf.
- Make sure there is always some press associated with the project/program, and that the funder's name is simultaneously linked with that of your agency or organization.
- Under the right circumstances, you could even have a "meet & thank" the funder event.

This is also an opportunity to find out what other interests the funder has, and to see if you can offer to do other programs or projects they may be interested in if they provide the funding.

Use your imagination and come up with a dozen ways you can make your product more exclusive, unique, or rare. You can limit quantities, sign and number your products, or under-produce them. Then share that information with your prospect. We all like to be treated as special, and one of the best ways to do it in a very emotional way is through the power of exclusivity. (Sugarman, p. 130)

Remember the Cabbage patch dolls? How much more exclusive could a thing be? Each doll had their own name and birth certificate. Furthermore, it was rumored that no two dolls looked alike!? Hmmm... they kind of looked alike to me, but that didn't stop people from standing in lines for hours, sometimes even days, to procure one of these dolls for their child. I remember one night watching the news to find out the top story of the hour was the kidnapping of a Cabbage Patch doll. I think there was a ransom involved...

Just a few things to make the ordinary a little more exclusive:
- An autographed photo of the highest ranking politician you can get to say "thank you".
- A resolution signed by the body politic in power.
- A special event put on by the recipients of the funds (this is great if it's a program that involves kids, seniors, the disabled) lots of tugs on the heartstrings, great opportunity for publicity and photographs.
- An interview on a local television station, or an invitation to be a keynote speaker at an exclusive event planned around the specific program/project they're funding.
- A plug complete with photograph on your agency or department web page where everyone can see how helpful they've been.

Most people conceive of a career in fashion designing as merely drinking cocktails, dressing celebrities up and attending chi-chi affairs. But fashion designing is more than that. Fashion is not just about clothes design either; designers pursue other interests like shoes, accessories, or bag designs. Excited about pursuing a fashion designing career? In setting up a fashion design business, a budding designer needs to know the basics. Knowledge and experience in designing, drawing, sketching, and CAD applications are necessary to facilitate design illustrations. Certification from design schools and workshops give additional points for a budding designer but are not really necessary.

Possessing the above-mentioned skills does not guarantee fashion designing success. As a starting fashion designer, you must identify the type of design you are interested in pursuing. Are you going to concentrate on women, teens, kids, men, or be a general designer? Some starting designers opt to concentrate on a special market by being a formal wear designer or a bridal gown designer.

Starting design businesses opt to open their own store and hire their own pattern-makers, sewers, and staff. Custom and per-order designing are the usual pursuits of budding designers. Fashion business experts recommend the latter two to most starting fashion design business as these require less capital and workforce.

To jumpstart a fashion design career quickly, applying as an employee in a fashion house is another option. Positions for entry-level applicants are usually pattern makers, sample maker, and sketcher. Fashion house managers agree that they tend to look for individuals with great style and flair for fashion.

Are you concerned about the authenticity of the designer merchandise you would like to purchase online?

Would you feel more confident making these kinds of purchases if you knew your purchase came with a verification of authenticity?

This is a concern that many online buyers share when deciding to make these kinds of purchases. Research in the field is necessary to educate yourself, before making your purchase. Researching the authenticity of on-line items would be the hardest task. This is because there are so many replicas being sold online. Replicas are being manufactured and sold, without regard to copyright laws and exclusive rights of companies or individuals. It is unfortunate, but its a reality: every person wishing to purchase these items must face this challenge.

One could safely say that verified authentic designer handbags and accessories are a complex treasure hunt. I say this because only the most elite and reputable designers create the treasure that people value and desire. It is only through these designers that the treasure has been created. These treasures are not easily found without research, knowledge and skill.

Because of this, one is forced to do countless hours of research, and still one may be left still wondering if the products were legitimate. Another choice is to find a reputable company who has the knowledge and skill who has already done the work for you. The hunt is on and the sole mission is to find the company that sells verified authentic handbags and designer accessories.

According to the Webster's Dictionary, treasure means:

1. "Jewels and precious objects: Wealth, especially in the form of jewels and precious objects, often accumulated or hoarded."

2. " Something valuable: Something of great worth."

After finding a verified, authentic handbag supplier, authentic handbags and designer accessories can be found and purchased online. Because of this, some websites are able to sell authentic merchandise at competitive prices.

Verified, authentic handbags and designer accessories are an investment. This merchandise is considered valuable. These are precious items hoarded by those who can get them and those who can afford them. These items set the standard for style. They are symbols of wealth and class. Even though you may find discounts online, the merchandise is priced according to industry standards. Merchandise available online is that of trend-setting styles from prior years. Some merchandise may be new, overstocked items. This allows the consumer to buy brand new merchandise at prices below suggested retail. If something looks abnormally under priced, than it is probably to good to be true.

If you are interested in purchasing current styles from any major designer or you prefer Louis Vuitton or Chanel and you have the money, your option would be to purchase directly from the designers of choice. Louis Vuitton and Chanel are very exclusive. If you want to purchase merchandise from one or both of these designers, we recommend you purchase from them exclusively.

When you are looking for a legitimate company that sells verified, authentic designer handbags and accessories, it is important to know that there are only a few select individuals and companies that specialize in verification. If at all possible, doing business with them is best. Once the consumer finds a legitimate company, the hunt is over.

In conclusion, consumers can find verified authentic designer handbags online. The most important thing to consider is to find a reputable online company with whom to do business. Find a company who has done the research, verified the merchandise, invested money, and has gained exclusive access and rights to sell this valuable merchandise. Only a company that operates in this manner and who is affiliated with other experts in this field can be truly relied upon.

CONGRATULATIONS! The buying process has now become confident, worry free and marks the beginning of a trustworthy business-consumer relationship.

Jewelry shopping is the dream and indulgence of every woman, all over the world. The excitement and confusion when viewing and sorting the short listed pieces can be overwhelming. However, you need to consider certain guidelines while purchasing jewelry. The jewelry available is usually made of gold, silver, platinum or glass. These may be set with precious stones like diamond, rubies and even pearls.

The jewelry designs depend on personal preferences and could either be ready made and showcased or customized, exclusive jewelry. The showcased jewelry designs are the standard ones where many pieces of the same design are sold. Whereas, the exclusive customized jewelry is unique and made by special order only. Exclusive jewelry should always accentuate the features, attire and personality of the woman. You should consider among the feminine, bold and exotic categories.

Exclusive jewelry is created to showcase exquisite craftsmanship. You should also consider the cost factor and between contemporary and the 'culture' based designs. Among all the metals used to make exclusive jewelry, gold and platinum are the most chosen options. Gold has been indulged in for centuries and designers have always preferred the yellow luster and the malleability. Gold is almost always mixed either with silver or copper. This alloy is known to increase the strength of the jewelry.

Platinum exclusive jewelry is very expensive. Platinum is a rare metal that does not fade and lose luster. In the case of jewelry with set precious and semi precious stones, you need to look into the design and its ability to 'hold' on to the gems firmly.

You should also know your chosen gems. While amber is formed from fossilized sticky pine resin, emerald is a mineral green in color. Jade is available as Jadeite and Nephrite and is the hardest of all gems. It can be carved into various forms. Nephrite is green, while Jadeite can be red, blue, green or black. Lapis Lazuli is blue, while onyx is mostly black. Pearls can either be freshwater or cultured.

Buying jewelry is an expensive affair. Since your choice is the exclusive collection, you should also know how to maintain the exclusive jewelry. It should be protected from dirt, that is basically the residue of the body oils. You should always apply any cream, lotion or make up prior to flaunting the jewelry. Nevertheless, beauty products like lotions do get into the pieces and result in a tarnished look.

You should clean the pieces with the help of a soft brush in warm water, preferably soaked a while before cleaning. The jewelry should be dried thoroughly before storing it. The boxes for each piece should be different, especially in the case of jewelry studded with real gems.

In the case of gold plated jewelry, you should avoid contact with water. The jewelry will become dull in time, if you do use a damp cloth or wash the individual pieces. Always remember that pearls and corals should never be soaked. Jewelry is very costly but with a little care, it can last a lifetime, handed down through generations.

A fashion statement is incomplete without all the accessories in place especially for women. A lady's perfect apparel always relies on small details which include jewelry, brooches and much more. But most important is the little article that they carry along with them to the powder room which conceals all their little necessities such as make up, tissues, perfumes and much more, and this article is nothing but her purse.

Purses are necessary for women of all ages. They prove to be very useful while traveling, partying, or even just moving around town as they carry the bare necessities of a lady. Now apart from makeup these purses are also helpful in carrying around medicines, first aid and various other objects.

With purses being quite in vogue now, it is what one will find every lady accompanied by. With them being the talk of the town and with the trend of an exclusivity designer purse, they are now available. The latest trend is the clutch purse. These little purses hot in fashion and are in rage with their sleek design and bold statements. Not only do they come in various shapes and sizes to suit various needs but also various colors and high bling-bling quotients in accordance to any occasion. While going for a formal occasion, a sleek black clutch with minimalistic design will definitely suit the occasion where as for club party a clutch with bright funky colors in harmony with ones apparel will definitely work its magic, and as for an occasion such as a wedding, a heavy clutch with sequin work will definitely grab everyone's attention.

Even for an occasion of such as a ball room dance, a clutch with a bold brooch or a pretty tied ribbon would make the mark it needs to. However, clutches tend to get a bit cumbersome as the name goes it must be 'clutched' at all times. Thus this purse is only for those who can take a little pain in the name for fashion. As for those who aren't the 'clutch' type can opt for purses similar such as a carry bag but with fabulous designs. A bag with a handle or a strap is easier to carry as it keeps the hands free from holding the purse.

Despite the many designs available, purses also have various differentiating indicators; such are purses with press buttons/magnetic buttons - these purses are more of those who carry a little less in the purse with respect to how much the bag can hold, since the button is only way the purse is closed; purses with zips - such bags can pretty much be filled to the brim as they are a little more secure and can be handled a little lackadaisically in comparison.

Also, if not for the plain Jane rectangle bags, bags of all shapes are pretty much in mode as well! Oval, pentagonal, circular in respect to shapes and also in the shapes of flowers and various objects can be easily obtained.
