A wedding is one of the most special days of a person’s life, especially when it comes to brides. Although there are many things out there that might be good for the couple, not all of them fall into your budget and others simply aren’t special enough for a wedding day. Some wedding gift ideas you can simply derive for their wedding registries. Even then, you would have to sift through countless stuff that they have sneaked in along with useful stuff.

Artwork

Beautiful artwork is always a welcome gift. The couple is just about to begin their new life, probably in a new home. This means that they will always be in need of stuff that will help spruce up their home. Artwork doesn’t always have to be something generic. You could even get a personalised piece made for them. Something like a portrait or create a mosaic out of favourite pictures.

Paid Vacation or Stay at a Hotel

This is one of the more expensive options on the list. Not too many people have the finance required to back something like this up but it doesn’t necessarily have to be from one person. A number of people could chip in and pay for their dream vacation. A stay for the first 2 or 3 days at an expensive hotel for their first few nights is also a great way to celebrate their new lives.

Bottle of Wine

There are some generic gifts which may become special only by the intentions attached to them. Give the wine a personalised label celebrating their wedding and wishing them a healthy and happy life. Another great way is to tell them to only open it on their 5th or 10th anniversary. This shows the faith you have in them as a couple.

Dinnerware

Dinnerware may sound very boring but ask the bride and groom after a few months of marriage. Once all the exciting gifts have run out and they’re left to tend to their house, dinnerware will feel like a blessing.

Expensive Items off the Registry

These are usually items that the bride and groom have sneaked in. These may be expensive and depend entirely upon your budget and relationship with the couple. Couples are not usually expecting people to purchase these high priced gifts so it will be a nice surprise for them if you do.

Wedding gift ideas can be confusing but if you have a registry at your disposal, you can’t really go wrong. If you want to go off the wedding registry for whatever reason make sure that the present is personal and memorable. Wedding present ideas with a personal touch are very appealing and can set your gift apart from the others.

When you’re negotiating with people who have studied negotiating, and are proud of their ability to negotiate, you can get ridiculously close to agreement, and the entire negotiation will still fall apart on you. When it does, it’s probably not the price or terms of the agreement that caused the problem, it’s the ego of the other person as a negotiator. When that happens, Power Negotiators use a simple technique that positions the other person for easy acceptance.

Let’s say that you market advertising specialties, such as rulers, with the company’s name on it-or custom printed baseball caps and T-shirts. You have made an appointment to meet with the manager at a local appliance store. What you may not realize is that just before you showed up in his office, the manager said to the owner of the store, “You just watch me negotiate with this advertising specialty representative. I know what I’m doing, and I’ll get us a good price.”

Now he’s not doing as well as he hoped in the negotiation and he may be reluctant to agree to your proposal because he doesn’t want to feel that he lost to you as a negotiator. That can happen, even when the other person knows that your proposal is fair and it satisfies his needs in every way.
So, when this happens you must find a way to make the other person feel good about giving in to you. You must Position for Easy Acceptance. Power Negotiators know that the best way to do this is to make a small concession just at the last moment. The size of the concession can be ridiculously small, and you can still make it work because it’s not the size of the concession that’s critical, but the timing.

So, you might say, “We just can’t budge another dime on the price, but I tell you what. If you’ll go along with the price, I’ll personally supervise the printing to be sure that it goes smoothly.”

Perhaps you were planning to do that anyway, but the point is that you’ve been courteous enough to position the other person so that he can respond, “Well all right, if you’ll do that for me, we’ll go along with the price.” Then he doesn’t feel that he lost to you in the negotiation. He felt that he traded off.

Positioning for Easy Acceptance is another reason why you should never go in with your best offer up front. If you have offered all of your concessions already, before you get to the end of the negotiation, you won’t have anything left with which to position the other side.

Here are some other small concessions that you can use to position:

You’re selling a boat, so you offer to take the buyers out and show them how to sail it.

If you sell office equipment, offer to inventory their supplies and set them up on an automatic reordering system.

You’re selling a car, so you offer to include the snow chains.

Hold this price for 90 days in case they want to duplicate this order.

You’re hiring someone and can’t pay him or her what they asked, but you offer to review it after 90 days.

Offer forty-five day terms instead of 30 days.

Offer three years for the price of two on an extended service warranty.

Remember, it’s the timing of the concession that counts, not the size. The concession can be ridiculously small and still be effective. Using this Gambit, Power Negotiators can make the other person feel good about giving in to them.

Never, ever gloat. Never, when you get through negotiating, say to the other person, “Harry, you know, if you’d hung in there a little big longer, I was prepared to do this and this and this for you.” Harry’s going to say unkind things about your mommy when you do that.

I realize that in the normal course of business you’d never be foolish enough to gloat over the other person because you felt you out-negotiated him. However, you get into trouble with this one when you’re negotiating with someone you know really well. Perhaps you’ve been playing golf with this person for years. Now you’re negotiating something. You both know you’re negotiating and you’re having fun playing the game. Finally, he says to you, “All right. We’re all agreed on this and we’re not going to back out, but just for my own satisfaction, what was your real bottom line there?” Of course you are tempted to brag a little, but don’t do it. He will remember that for the next 20 years.

Always when you’re through negotiating-congratulate. However poorly you think the other people may have done, congratulate them. Say, “Wow. Did you do a fantastic job negotiating with me. I realize that I didn’t get as good a deal as I could have done, but frankly, it was worth it because I learned so much about negotiating. You were brilliant.” You want the other person to feel that he or she won in the negotiations.

Have you ever watched attorneys in court? They’ll cut each other to ribbons inside the courtroom. However, outside you’ll see the district attorney go up to the defense attorney and say, “Wow, were you brilliant in there. You really were. True your guy got 30 years, but I don’t think anybody could have done a better job than you did.” The district attorney understands that he’ll be in another courtroom one day with that same defense attorney, and he doesn’t want the attorney feeling that this is a personal contest. Gloating over a victory will just make the attorney more determined than ever to win the rematch.

Similarly, you will be dealing with that other person again. You don’t want her remembering that she lost to you. It would make her only more determined to get the better of you in a rematch.

Key points to remember:

If the other person is proud of his ability to negotiate, his egotistical need to win may stop you from reaching agreement.

Position the other person to feel good about giving in to you with a small concession made just at the last moment.

Because timing is more important than the size of the concession, the concession can be ridiculously small and still be effective.

Always congratulate the other person when you get through negotiating, however poorly you think he or she did.

Presentation folders are one of the most popular means of transferring documents among the world’s business communities.

Whether promoting a product, a company or an individual, the presentation folder is the foremost visual connector at the beginning of the transaction, and the opportunities to impress are countless.

The introduction of ‘oversize’ digital presses has further enhanced the benefit and impact of the presentation folder by allowing personalisation of information as well as catering for multiple page presentations when including a gusset in the product.

As well as personalisation, digital presses also offer the option of a unique design for every folder produced – and it costs no more at the print stage.

Digital of course also implies, quite correctly, print runs as required – one copy and upwards. This is a far cry from as little as three or four years ago when the only method of producing a folder was using offset technologies which frequently necessitated larger than necessary print runs to obtain a perceived scale of economy.

Presentation folders are traditionally manufactured to accommodate A4-sized documents in countries using international paper standards. These folders are generally within the limits of what is achievable on a digital press, but smaller folders such as A5, or square shapes (cd case size for example) can have equal or even greater impact on their intended markets.

The well-designed folder may also cater for additional materials such as a business card inserted in a pre-cut location. If you think your unique folder may have subsequent applications, it is worth taking this option into consideration before designing the product, as the cost of manufacturing a die for cutting the folder’s shape following printing is substantial.

Folders manufactured using recycled paper stocks are extremely popular and help to promote and reinforce good green practices. The range of recycled materials available to digital printers is substantial and growing rapidly, while contemporary digital printing itself is the most environmentally friendly method of ink/toner transfer yet devised.

A further benefit of the presentation folder may well be its re-use by the client to whom it was originally given. Folders are handy items for storing any amount of printed matter that is of interest to that person. Hence its shelf life (along with your name, message or idea) may be extended indefinitely.

Presentation folders are offered by a variety of print firms, many of them on line. The better companies offer a template for downloading so that you or your graphic designer may generate the personalised item you require. The completed design is simply uploaded back to the printing firm where the file will be proofed and printed to your specifications.

Be bold in your folder designs for they remain your invisible handshake when you are no longer in the presence of the person to whom the folder was given. Primary colours can make an outstanding statement, so remember, bold is beautiful and colour has never been more affordable.
