		<description>I agree that we can&#039;t afford NOT to outsource tasks that we are not good at.

Particularly when it comes to marketing, when times are tight, we must push through and continue to get more marketing tasks off our plate so the pipleline gets filled.

It pays to expand your bandwidth, outsource your weaknesses and focus on your core strengths now more than ever.

		<description>Mack Camera (www.mackcam.com) has developed a program using instant film to create a photo of the customer with the restaurant logo placed on the image. The image becomes a &quot;discount coupon&quot; that encourages the customer to return to the restaurant to receive a small &#039;dollars off&#039; reward and to engage, again, in more great food and FUN through the use of instant imaging. The image co-brands the Restaurant with their customer using this easy-to-use, inexpensive &quot;photo coupon&quot;.

Please contact Sam Peacock (swp54us@yahoo.com) for more information.</description>
