New book, Salon Success, Tweaks & Tips, Building The Highly Effective Salon or Spa, hits shelves for the Salon, Spa, and Personal Service industry.

Newport News, VA (PRWEB) March 1, 2006

New book, Salon Success, Tweaks & Tips, hits shelves for the Salon, Spa, and Personal Service industry. The book is arranged in logical sections, and broken down into manageable pieces. It is loaded with small changes that a business owner, or staff-member can make.

Erin Snyder Dixon has lived on the Virginia Peninsula for most of her life. Working in the beauty industry as a Nail Instructor and traveling to coach Salons in business skills, led to the collaboration of this new book. Salon Success, Tweaks & Tips, building the highly effective Salon or Spa, was born after Erin Snyder Dixon and a colleague, Robin Gibbons (also an expert in the Beauty Industry), discovered that industry professionals were consistently asking the same questions. How can I make more money? How can I keep my clients? What do my clients expect? Where do I go for help?

Under its cheerful hot-pink exterior, lay the nuts and bolts of client care. The information is woven through small snippets that can be easily read and implemented. The print is large enough to read easily and the tone is fun and uplifting, reminding uthe reader not to take themselves too seriously. Written by industry experts, this 'un-textbook' , is designed specifically for the beauty-service industry.

Erin Snyder Dixon is a bestselling coauthor in the Wake Up Live The Life You Love series, making it to no.6 with Giving Gratitude, on the Barnes & Noble list in January 2006.

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (PRWEB) June 18, 2008

Winning bidder Aaron Chronister of Kansas City, Missouri states:

"My search engine optimization business keeps me really busy too busy, in fact, to pay attention to thousands of domains being auctioned off everyday. However, I can pay attention to one domain per day. In fact, I just put in a low-ball amount and went back to work. I later checked on the site and saw it was up to $ 800. I put in $ 1,200 as a max and stole it at $ 911! It worked perfectly and I got a great investment. I'm planning to hold on to it, park it for cash-flow, and sell at a profit later."

It persuades customers, that are searching for cheap images, to visit this website. At the same time the customers will be expecting to pay for images. This domain is suitable for all kind of advertisement, like TV, radio, internet and word of mouth advertisements. It is easy to spell and to remember. A Google adword for the term "Discount Images" cost $ 1.71 per click"
