Data recovery is a nightmare

I never thought it could happen to me, but I was completely and 100% wrong. I was working late into the night on a power point presentation that I would give the following morning at 8 AM. Don't ask why I didn't have it ready before. I went to save it to my USB drive, and instantly my screen went black and I couldn't turn on or get a response out of my computer at all. After cursing and stomping around for a while, I realized that was nothing I could do besides go to bed and give my presentation without any visual assistance for me or my audience.

After all that grief, I realized that I needed some way of instantaneously recovering my data. I originally had a plan, whose name I won't mention, that stopped allowing data recovery for a 30 day window, which happened to be when my computer crashed. There are some data recovery service options that are perfect for recovering vast amounts of information in a short period of time. What I need though is something that I can personally manage and can get from a variety of sources. This is part 1 of the data recovery series, part 2 will update you on what I end up doing! Let the suspense build! ;)

Having a diverse and appropriate marketing mix can determine the type of future customers you reel in, and whether or not you keep you existing ones. When evaluating the marketing mix you use, it's important to know the five P's of your business, product/service, price, place promotion and understand if your methods are appropriate. Sorry if you disagree with my choice of P's, that's how I was raised. If you think print advertising is dead, think again. Services like the postal service and other advertising agencies offer services delivering print media to thousands of potential and existing customers. It just might be what your business needs to kick itself into a higher gear!
