Calculate the beds proportions

You might think that all twin beds or king sizing beds are standard, but sadly it is not so. Also the top measurings, all the rest can be unique depending on the brand. The bottom line is that you need to estimate the height, width, largeness of the bed and also check how thick the mattress is. Often similar beds from the same brand are taller or wider than each other. It is always better to be available with your beds proportions prior to shopping.

Choose your Storehouse

Bigger departmental storehouses have a separate division for linen and bedding and offer branded sheets and in-house brands under the same roof. For a unique look, some people also go for embroidered bed sheets with sequins. Another choice is to shop online for the largest diversity. The basic bedding are sold in discount storehouses for a small cost.

Do you know what is a thread count?

The amount of threads that are present in a square inch of the sheet in back and forth direction of its weave is known as thread count. This count is mentioned on the label of the bed sheet itself. A lush grain calls for a higher thread count. Beware of a very high thread count as the sheet may have thinner threads and not the texture you want. It is advisable that you go for a thread count in the range of 175 to 250 for a soft sheet under you.

Determine on material for your bedsheet

A material that is reasonably priced and feels nice to sleep on is the one for you. If you prefer wrinkle-free sheets then go for cotton blends or you can purchase basic cotton fabrics. A chilly night calls for a flannel bedsheet. Those who wish a smooth sheet can go for satin or silk.

Calculate the size of the bed sheet

Measuring the bed sheet before buying is as important as measuring the bed size. It is crucial to verify if the bedsheet you are buying will fit well on your bed. Take into account the average 7% shrinking that all bedding undergo after the first laundry. If you have really liked the bedding you plan to buy, always invest in some additional sets. these extra sets come in handy if you have kids at home.

Userplane’s Michael Jones explains why online video must be
included in your marketing mix.

Thanks to online video ads, guys with bad hygiene and pathetic
social skills can try wooing VH1 VJ Rachel Perry– and they even
get a well-mannered response. Ah, the wonders of the internet.

The ad campaign was an innovative partnership between laddie-mag
Maxim and Pontiac to hype the carmaker’s Solstice Roadster.
Users logged onto the magazine’s website and submitted pick-up
lines to an image of Perry, actually an incarnation of the
beautiful celebrity compiled from hundreds of pre-recorded
videos. People with the best lines registered to win a car.
Depending on the attempt, the program culled Perry’s retort in
real time from hundreds of pre-recorded responses. The site was
flooded with users. According to Advertising Age, 16,000 people
registered in its first three weeks.

The titillating Pontiac campaign was the successor to Burger
King’s Subservient Chicken, an online craze of its own. The two
demonstrate the unique potential for online video ads. They lock
millions of users to the sites, create a viral response by
allowing fans to email the links to friends, and generate pop
culture buzz. And of course, the online video ads paid off in
higher chicken sandwich sales and registrations.

We shouldn’t be surprised online video ads are becoming so
popular. The streaming ads are a natural outgrowth of
technological advances, evolving consumer habits and the
perennial desire to gain traction with users. They are a
much-needed advance in the maturation of the internet and will
help ensure its future profitability. Fortunately, companies are
realizing this. The online research aggregator eMarketer
projects streaming video spending will nearly triple to $640
million in the next two years, and grow to $1.5 billion by 2010.

Three key factors have caused the rise of online video ads, and
will guarantee the medium soars in 2006. 1.) A tech-savvy
culture If the internet were a child, we could say it’s leaving
the awkward ugly stage and beginning to blossom. Let’s face it,
only a small number of consumers jumped on board with the latest
technologies when they over-promised on the results or didn’t
work out the bugs. At first, technology was holding back
advances, which held back the profits. I was like a parent,
cringing and wincing at those banners and pop-ups. It was like
seeing my youngster lurching through puberty. Hang in there
little buddy, you’re gonna make it! Now, technology is catching
up with expectations, which entices a broader range of consumers
and gives marketers a piece of the action. I’m beaming.

The rapid adoption of broadband internet access is the primary
driver of online video ads. And it’s only going to get better.
The U.S. market hurdled a barrier to internet advertising this
year when more than half of online households were using
high-speed connections. A study by eMarketer estimates the
number will continue to grow, from 42.3 million households in
2005 to 69.4 million in 2008.

With all those high-speed connections out there, comScore
Networks found consumers putting them to good use. More than 94
million people in the United States viewed a streaming video
online in June of last year, according to comScore. The company
recently released the first comprehensive assessment of the
online streaming marketplace and, surprisingly, discovered that
technology isn’t just for youngsters anymore. Consumers between
ages 35 and 54 accounted for more than 45 percent of online
video ads watched in August 2005. It is 20 percent more likely
that these mature adults will watch an online video than the
typical internet user, the study found, and people between the
ages of 25 and 34 are 12 percent more likely to watch a
streaming video. These are hot marketing targets, and they love
their streaming media.

“Contrary to public perception, it’s not just ‘college kids’ or
‘bleeding edge’ internet users who are streaming videos,” said
Erin Hunter, senior vice president of comScore Networks media
and entertainment solutions. Publishers are using innovations
like high-quality video product clips, music videos, movie
trailers — even news broadcasts — to engage consumers, Hunter
said. “This creates a fantastic opportunity for advertisers to
capitalize on what is now a mainstream audience,” she added.

2.) An evolving business mindset The video ad pioneers have
mainstream companies hot on their heels, jumping on the online
video bandwagon. Todd Herman of MSN told Clickz.com that 23 of
the top 50 brands have advertised on the site since its launch
in August 2004. They include Pfizer, Procter & Gamble, General
Motors and Johnson & Johnson.

Hunter, of comScore, says advertisers are “waking up” to the
potential of online video ads. “People want more than a
two-dimensional experience online, and this powerful medium now
reaches everyone with engaging and interesting content,” Hunter
said.

The internet makes users part of the media experience. They
aren’t just viewers, as they are on television. They’re
participants. They’re members of the online community.
Advertisers are taking advantage of this increased engagement
and loyalty. On New Year’s Eve, MSN aired 30-second video ads
from the entertainment and automotive industry throughout its
live web cast from Times Square. The coverage allowed internet
viewers to become part of the show– sending emails that were
included in the web cast.

Companies are also mainstreaming online video ads because they
use quantitative data to connect consumers to products and
services. This is the new “golden metric” to determine ROI,
according to Diane Mermigas, contributing editor to The
Hollywood Reporter. “It is impossible to counter the logic that
paying 28 cents for a click on Google by a targeted consumer who
might engage in an electronic transaction is not preferred to
paying 10 cents per reader for a national magazine print ad that
might not be seen,” Mermigas writes.

Mermigas says traditional media outlets can cash in on the
online action by moving consumers and advertisers to websites.
In the future, look for more joint marketing sales between
internet video advertising and traditional media outlets.
Companies will integrate campaigns, combining online videos with
TV spots run on cable networks. This naturally extends the
campaign because video production costs were paid when the
content was prepared for traditional media.

3.) Interactive, engaging and informative Finding your ads’
target audience is only a start, you have to lock them in to be
effective, get them to engage. TV, radio and print have skinned
this cat every which way for decades, but they’re still
handicapped. They’re dealing with passive mediums and can’t
snoop while the consumer interacts with the pitch. The truth is,
they don’t know who’s paying attention or for how long!
Meanwhile, customers who check out the new online video ads by
Ross-Simons not only get a behind-the-scenes peek at the styles
of jewelry merchant, their interaction with the ad teaches
marketers what works.

Ross-Simons just launched its streaming ads on its website. They
star soap opera actress Lauren Koslow of NBC’s “Days of Our
Lives,” and allow consumers to click on highlighted items to
learn more or order the product. The videos engage customers and
allow them to take action at the moment of interaction. It’s
more than an advertisement– it’s a prelude to a transaction.

Shot on digital video, there is little comparison between online
advertisements and their passive cousins. Programmers can blend
interactive concepts with the campaigns, like hidden “Easter
eggs,” flash, 3-D and high-resolution images. Many online ads
include viral elements like emailing the ad to friends or
allowing users to become part of the online community by posting
comments on the site.

David Hallerman, senior analyst at eMarketer, said, “More than
any other advertising format, internet video has the potential
to blend hot marketing elements together– branded
entertainment, paid search, viral marketing, consumer generated
media, behavioral targeting, website brand marketing and online
gaming.”

And every time a user emails an ad, clicks on an Easter egg or
conducts a search, we’re learning more about our target
audience. We’ll take that information and improve, giving
consumers what they really want next time, and the time after
that, and the time after that. The best part is that this is
only the beginning.
