Expect less control over the bat if you go with one that is too long or short for your build. Follow guidelines regarding a bat's appropriate length and width for your height. Do so even if you're a younger player who hasn't finished growing, since picking a bat for your future self will negatively affect your performance in the here and now. Search online for sizing charts, such as this one: http://www.desisport.com/how-to-choose-your-cricket-bat " If you already have experience playing cricket, think of where along the bat you tend to hit the ball the most. As you inspect each new bat, examine its blade, because shapes vary from one bat to the next. Locate each blade's "sweet spot," which is wherever it is thickest. Choose a bat whose sweet spot is located wherever you strike the ball most often. This will translate to more durability and power during play. If you're a beginner, favor bats that are thickest in the middle for the best coverage. As you develop as a player, take note of exactly where along the bat you tend to favor when hitting the ball for future reference. Take the bat in your hands and simulate gameplay to judge how the bat's weight feels in motion. Take test swings and practice pick-ups to make sure it responds quickly when you need to react fast. Hold the bat out on arm's length with your weaker hand to see if it tires you too soon. Also keep in mind that: The location of the blade's "sweet spot" will affect how the weight feels in your hand. Lower sweet spots will make the bat feel more bottom-heavy, while higher sweet spots will do the opposite. This is why it's so important to visit a brick-and-mortar store, since an online description of a bat's weight alone won't inform you how a bat will actually feel in your hand. Don't expect all bats to be ready for immediate use. Know that bats can crack in play without prior treatment or "knocking in." If you are unfamiliar with how to do this, limit your search to bats that have already received this treatment and are ready for immediate play. "Knocking in" refers to a process of lightly striking the wood with a bat mallet or leather ball. This strengthens the wood by compressing it. However, be aware that too much "knocking in" can damage the bat. If you're unsure of how to safely do it, go with a pre-treated bat as well.

summary: Choose a size recommended for your height. Look for the "sweet spot. Feel the weight. Go with "pre-treated" bats if you're a beginner.

Many of these sites like Craigslist, for example, allow you to advertise for free. Make sure you place your ads in relevant categories. For instance, if you're a baker, you'll want to list your ad under services rather than "for sale." You can create and send press releases to local news outlets or websites to market your business for free. Examples of successful press release subjects include human interest stories, awards, meetings, and new products. However, to be effective, the press release will need to be interesting to potential customers and to the outlet you are sending it to. You can also make use of online press release services like PRWeb, Business Wire, and PR Newswire. One really good way to get the word-of-mouth ball rolling is by exceeding your customers' expectations. Doing so is going make them talk about you, whether it's the new menu item that is incredibly delicious or an atmosphere that makes the customer feel comfortable.This is the primary way small businesses get new business. To be most effective, you need to make sure you are kind to your customers or clients, and that you maintain good business relationships with partner and neighborhood businesses. This is really important if you are new to a neighborhood with several established businesses. A single complaint on Yelp can lose you tons of customers. A two-for-one deal is a great way to get the word out about you, especially if it's something that will require an extra person to take advantage of, like a second beer or coffee. Avoid jargon in employee-customer relations. Customers see through and often hate jargon. They want to feel like they're having an authentic experience. Set up in-house promotions for your existing customers by offering exclusive discounts or free items through your email list. Send out new product/service information and recommendations to existing customers through the mail or email. You can also set up a system that rewards customers for referrals. To be most effective, the system should also reward the referred (new) customer, perhaps with a discount or a free item.

summary: Post an ad on Internet classifieds sites. Send out press releases. Leverage your existing customers.

If you have experienced hair loss, it's important to see your doctor to find a cause. You may have an underlying disease that's causing your hair loss, and this may require treatment for you to regrow your hair. Your doctor may order blood tests to assess hormone levels that can cause hair loss. Minoxidil is an over the counter liquid or foam that you massage into your scalp twice daily. This medication may help promote hair growth or decrease hair loss, or even both. Men and women can use minoxidil and you don't need a prescription. Regrowth peaks at about 16 weeks. You need to continuously reapply minoxidil to maintain the benefits. You may experience some side effects such as scalp irritation, rapid heart rate, and may even have some hair growth on the face and hands. You can purchase minoxidil at most pharmacies and some grocery stores. If medications and home treatments don't help hair regrowth, have hair transplant or restoration surgery. This can immediately help fill out thinning hair and can stimulate hair regrowth. Hair transplants or restoration are procedures in which you doctor takes small plugs of hair from different parts of your scalp and implants them into thinner or bald sections. You may need to take hair loss medication before surgery. Hair transplants can be very painful and cause infection and scarring. Be aware that hair transplants and restoration are expensive and insurance may not cover either procedure. Some studies have shown that lower-level laser device treatment can help decrease hair loss and improve thickness. Although more research is necessary, laser treatment may be a good option for you if medications don't work and you don't want to undergo a painful hair transplant. There are no known side effects of laser therapy for hair loss.
summary: See your doctor. Rub minoxidil into your scalp. Have surgery to restore or transplant hair. Undergo laser therapy.
