Happy New Year! May 2012 Bring Forth Massive Success
Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past. ~Henry Ward Beecher

Businesses Don’t Have To Struggle – Businesses Choose To Struggle
Businesses are failing due to the lack of preparation and know-how. For the past two years, my team and I have established several hundred strong relationships within the small business community within the Sacramento Market. With countless hours of presentations and conversations our conclusions have come to six main speculations. With most small businesses in Sacramento we found that they have:
1. No business plan (goals both short-term or long-term)
2. No core identity (logo, mission statement, tag line)
3. No database (email addresses, cellular phone numbers for text messaging, addresses for mailings)
4. No online presence (website, mobile apps, listings, directories, social media)
5. No marketing budget (advertising, marketing, events, promotions)
6. No time (overworked, focused on production, in need of massive help)
As the saying goes, “people don’t plan to fail, they simply fail to plan”. Every successful business development plan must have a very solid foundation first. Listed above are six key and strategic areas of believe that our team believes should be main areas of focus. Naturally, businesses are stronger in some areas more than others and every business is different having its own process. What would a business look like having all six as strengths?
Nu Digital Media Group has a business development team that can and will completely add value to the suggested six mentioned points as their team has over 50 years combined experience in process and business development not to mention that NDMG is also a full scale marketing agency.

Have a Great Memorial Day and Holiday Weekend – From Sacramento’s Nu Digital Media Division
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 30 in 2011). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates men and women who died while in military service to the United States. First enacted to honor Union and Confederate soldiers following the American Civil War, it was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars. Memorial Day often marks the start of the summer vacation season, and Labor Day its end.
