Press Release Body = On Friday December 16, 2005 Howard Stern made his last joke
about bodily functions, strippers and crack whores over the public air waves ending
a nearly 20-year tear as the nation\'s leading morning-drive emperor. Starting Jan.
9, Stern will take his show on the road beaming down into your vehicle from his
perch on Sirius Satellite Radio

Love him or hate him, small business owners need to take stock in some of the
tactics the "King Of All Media" has used to create an veritable empire of raving
fans who consume every word, product and affiliate he endorses.
Two of America\'s premiere small business advocates and marketing experts, Jimmy Vee
and Travis Miller () say \"Howard Stern has a
lot to teach the small business in the way of marketing themselves. Regardless of
whether you like him or not he undeniably has left an indelible mark on a huge
marketplace. Small businesses should strive to achieve a similar thing in their own
market."
Vee and Miller, who consistently urge and persuade small business owners to buck the
establishment and use non-traditional marketing methods, reveal 3 tactics Stern uses
effectively that small business owners can "rip off" and use to grow their business.
1. The institution of broadcasting is not unlike the institution of traditional
marketing. Stern uses an "against the grain" approach, a contrarian position to gain
attention from people and the media. Small business owners should strive to take a
polar position as well. Trying to be all things to all people and the need to please
everyone will actually get you less attention and fewer customers. If you are afraid
you will offend someone with your personal style you run a high risk that you will
be no one\'s first choice and invisible to most. Stern understands that it takes some
people to hate him to gain a portion that love him.

2. Stern vows to uphold a certain image and standard whether it\'s good for business
or not. Small business owners should do the same. Many times because small business
owners are operating on limited capital and trickling cash flows they take any
business that comes along even if it conflicts with their better judgment.
Pain-in-the-butt customers who do not fit a business\' profile of an ideal customer
hurt a small business more than they help. Many times a few bad clients can make the
work environment less productive and the business less profitable.

3. Like Stern, small businesses have the ability to be flexible and quick. They have
the ability to make the changes required for them to succeed. Although many small
business owners have the ability to be flexible, their thinking and egos make them
unable to adapt and change in order to achieve the success they desire.
