“The Community Settlement Association is increasing attendance in their DUI program by asking for more people to attend. Advertising works when it’s done right,” says Carl Dameron.
(SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.) With 24 months of increased employment and retail sales it is quite clear we are in an economic recovery. “But tough economic times convinced too many companies stop advertising their business, or they cut their public relations budget because its easier than cutting people,” says Carl M. Dameron, founder and Creative Director of Dameron Communications, (DameronCommunications.com) a leading public relations and advertising agency serving California.
“The problem is many companies have been so lean for so long they have forgotten they must increase their ad budget to get more customers. They are still in survival mode and afraid to advertise. Waiting could very well be the wrong thing to do now,” said Dameron.
A free brochure from Dameron Communications, Effective Advertising & Public Relations, outlines a step-by-step program to effectively reach a company’s target market, create a positive image of the business and entice their target market to use their products and services.
According to Dameron the solution to increasing business in a changing economy is to change your advertising strategy. “The recession is ending and pent up demand is driving increased traffic and sales at many businesses. Buyers are redefining their purchases based on what they need, not just want.
Dameron offers more solutions to energize or create and implement an effective advertising and public relations strategy.
The program consists of four major components: research, ad development, media planning and placement and finally ad monitoring for effectiveness. While a successful campaign fulfills all four components, a combination of effective planning and consistency is also required to be effective.
Additionally, Dameron’s guide gives information on developing effective public relations, government relations and community relations strategies.

I wish I had the words to commemorate such an important day of gratitude to our creator. I do not so I humbly share with you Abraham Lincoln’s first Thanksgiving proclamation in fervent hope that it will bring “ . . . the Almighty’s hand to heal the wounds of the nation, and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility, and union.”
October 3, 1863
By the President of the United States
A Proclamation
The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God.
In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign states to invite and provoke their aggressions, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere, except in the theater of military conflict; while that theater has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union.
Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense have not arrested the plow, the shuttle, or the ship; the ax has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege, and the battlefield, and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom.
No human counsel hath devised, nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people. I do, therefore, invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a Day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens. And I recommend to them that, while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners, or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation, and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility, and union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United Stated States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-eighth.
Abraham Lincoln
–
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

(SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.) “This is one of the best experience’s of my life,” said Paul Martinez, an Intern at Dameron Communications.
Martinez is a recent graduate from the University of California, Riverside, with a degree in Business Administration and Marketing. “Most of my college friends are looking for jobs to make good money, but I want a career,” said Martinez. “I know Dameron Communications can help me reach this goal.”
Martinez found his internship through the Lagrant Foundation, a non-profit that focuses on career development for minority students. “I attended a workshop hosted by Dameron and was surprised at the company’s achievements.”
An internship is on-the-job training that usually lasts for three months. Interns range from students in college to high school students. Students participate in internships to decide if a particular career interests them, build contacts with professionals, and to gain college credit.
While in college, Martinez was involved in extracurricular activities and organizations. Martinez was a member of M.E.Ch.A. de UCR, a cultural organization that serves the community. He organized conferences, committed time to community service, and created promotional materials for M.E.Ch.A.
Martinez also participated in the UC Honors Program, a challenging academic program for top students. “I have always believed in challenging myself to get ahead.”
After graduating, Martinez was in search for a career that would allow him to serve the community. “I chose to intern at Dameron Communications because of the free Public Relations work it does for The Salvation Army,” said Martinez.
“I am impressed by Paul’s hard work and dedication. He has the right attitude it takes to be successful in this business. I am happy to work with him,” said Carl Dameron, Creative Director of Dameron Communications.
Martinez has plans to make a name in the fields of food and fashion. “I want to own a fine-dining restaurant and clothing brand in the near future.”

Carl Dameron, creative director of Dameron Communications; Wendy Gladney, author, entrepreneur and motivational speaker; and John A. “Jack” Calhoun, senior consultant for the U.S. Department of Justice and the National League of Cities. All spoke at the Riverside County Department of Mental Health PEI Summit in Palm Desert.
(Palm Desert, CA) Dancing and sliding across the floor, clicking through YouTube Videos and PowerPoint bullet points, voice in hushed tones, then booming “victorious””! Carl Dameron creative director of Dameron Communications recently delivered a rousing presentation on effective communication at the Riverside County Department of Public Health’s Prevention and Early Intervention Summit.
“Presentations are often less that exciting, so I push the envelope with my multi-media presentation to keep the audience involved and engaged,” said Dameron. “I tell the audience that developing an effective message includes: Make me care; Make me remember and Make me act. That means I have to do the same in my presentation.”
Dameron’s presentation is memorable. He spent most of the hour-and-a-half performance in the audience asking participants questions and floating from table to table. He surprised participants with impromptu questions and rap videos.
Dameron is the founder and creative director of Dameron Communications, a full-service advertising and public relations agency serving California since 1989. He has won media coverage and placed product selling ads with the most prestigious and popular media channels, locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
“Carl is high energy person, who definitely knows what he talking about, that is why we selected him for the personation,” said Diane Brown, Social Service Planner/Training & Fidelity Liaison, Mental Health Services Act – Prevention & Early Intervention, Riverside County Department of Mental Health.
“Are you an actor in movies, TV commercials or something?” asked one member of the audience after his presentation. “I laughed and said no, I just love what I do,” said Dameron.
Dameron show's the video "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five to warm up the crowd
Dameron has acting experience preforming in plays starting in the third grade. He also took acting classes in high school and college but he admits he’s no Denzel Washington.
“I wish I was that good, but I’m not. I’m at the point where I’m not afraid to perform in front of an audience,” said Dameron.
His presentation was for those delivering Prevention & Early Intervention services for Riverside County Department of Mental Health.
The county web site says: an objective of Prevention & Early Intervention is to increase capacity for mental health prevention and early intervention programs. These programs are to be provided in places where mental health services are not traditionally given, such as schools, community centers, faith-based organizations, etc.
The intent of PEI programs is to engage individuals before the development of serious mental illness or serious emotional disturbance or to alleviate the need for additional or extended mental health treatment.
Dameron’s suggestions for successful advertising include:
Use a graphic artist to design brochures, flyers, ads and billboards. “Your secretary is not a graphic artist. Ad designers must understand color theory, typography and the best way to design advertising for effective communication.”
In the Inland Empire billboards and radio are king. Use your budget to buy and use these media.
Don’t buy promo items if your annual ad budget is less than one million dollars. Buy billboards, radio, TV, print or web ads. Too many promo items end up in the closet and not used. People often buy the wrong promo item and then not enough. One good billboard in mall or flight of radio commercial will reach more people and deliver more results that your promo items.
For public relations Dameron suggests:
Contract with a PR professional to write your press releases. Unless your Ph.D., Masters or Bachelors’ degree is in communications, marketing or journalism you are probably not the best person to write your press releases. The media want and need the message delivered in a specific style. If you don’t understand that style, it’s difficult to earn media coverage.
Use a photo with every story and give the media more than one photo choice.
Post all of your news releases to your website where they can be easily found.
Dameron’s PowerPoint presentation can be found on line at the Dameron Communications website: http://www.dameroncommunications.com
Creating campaigns that work is harder than it looks, and Dameron makes it look easy. He has launched companies creating millions in profits, increased profits with existing firms and used crisis communications skills to save companies from failure.
He is creative and tenacious. He pays attention to research, gets on the ground and communicates with customers and front line staff to find customer “hot buttons”. The creative team digests all of this information and together they create a solid thread weaved into a tapestry of effective messaging creating multi-media campaigns that work.
Dameron effectively implements current technology and finds ways to effectively adopt new technology into campaigns. He leads a team of creative professionals that create big ideas, engineer’s words and images that capture the audiences’ attention and motivates them to act.

The good thing about seminars/webinars in that its great info. The bad thing is that some like to attend these events in the mornings, some like lunch, some like evenings and some (usually employees) prefer their continuing education during the work day.
What’s the solution to maximize your attendance? Here are my suggestions in order of preference.
Option 1
Hold four seminars/webinars at four times: Breakfast, mid-morning, lunch and early evening on the same day or the same week. Then post the best presentation on-line with sign-ins to collect contact information.
Option 2
Create a Survey Monkey Research instrument and send to all of your prospects. Hold the seminar at the best time for responders and then post the presentation on-line with sign-ins to collect contact information.
Option 3
Hold the seminar at lunch time and then post the presentation on-line with sign-ins to collect contact information.
Select the answer that fists your ability to perform.
Good luck!
