Who are best actresses for the Buck?

LOS ANGELES -- In the old Hollywood, it was all about the quote: what an actress could demand as an upfront paycheck. Nowadays, strapped studios are just as interested in what kind of return on investment they can get for their money when hiring a leading lady. Sure, Angelina Jolie brings instant press attention to a project, but is she worth upward of $10 million?

Based on our latest estimations of the actresses in Hollywood who offer studios the best return on investment, there are plenty who offer more bang for the buck than Jolie. The women who came out on the top of our list tend to be lower-profile stars who are happy earning paychecks of around $5 million and under.

Top-ranked Naomi Watts is a perfect example. The actress has yet to be involved in any kind of high-profile scandal and she usually shares equal screen time with a male lead, like in last year's "The International," which also featured Clive Owen.

Watts' paychecks are relatively small (by Hollywood standards), which helps her return on investment number, especially when she stars in a movie that turns into a major hit, like 2005's "King Kong," which earned $550 million at the box office worldwide. For every dollar Watts was paid on her last three major films, the movies earned an average of $44.

In order to create our list, we looked at the 100 biggest stars in Hollywood. To qualify, each actress had to have starred in at least three movies in the past five years that opened in more than 500 theaters. (In Watts' case we didn't count her 2008 film "Funny Games" because it only played on 288 screens.)

We didn't include animated films because the actresses aren't really the draw, and they tend to take pay cuts for voice work.

For past lists we have required that actresses earn at least $5 million per movie, but we decided to waive that this time around. We calculated each star's estimated earnings on each film (including upfront pay and any earnings from the film's box office receipts, DVD and TV sales). We then looked at each movie's estimated budget (not including marketing costs, which are susceptible to accounting chicanery) and box office, DVD and television earnings to figure out an operating income for each film.

We added up each star's compensation on her last three films and the operating income on those films and divided total operating income by the star's total compensation to come up with each return on investment number.

One thing most of the actresses on this list have in common is that they did not carry the films on their own. In Hollywood, it's still rare for a woman to be the main star. For the most part, women are co-stars or they appear in ensemble films like "He's Just Not That Into You," which was a surprise hit in February, earning $177 million at the box office worldwide.

That film's success helped Jennifer Connelly take second place on our list. For every dollar Connelly was paid, her films earned an average of $41.

In third place is Rachel McAdams. The young actress is one of the few to really carry a movie, 2005's "Red Eye," which also featured Cillian Murphy. McAdams has scored by appearing in relatively low-budget movies (like "Red Eye" and 2004's "The Notebook") that have done well at the box office, though none have been massive hits. For every dollar McAdams was paid, her films earned an average of $30.

T.R. input - This is star power. how many people would come to a event that P.Diddy starred in or Beyonce came too? Promo is limited when you got the name of the bid fish at your side.

Llama Jerky?


Hey its Ron S., Campaign Director for T.R. Marketing. I just had to go against procedure and jump on T.R.'s Blog here to run a post about a new campaign we signed that I'm Directing. Its for a whole sale meat factory. I thought I heard it all until this.

Now I love food especially meat. A smoked Tenderloin, a tender brisket, a ribeye, and now Flank Steak. OHH Yummy!! So I just sat down to finalize the promotion and low and behold the owner of R&C Meats springs Something funny on me. He says, "I want to do whatever I can to push this Fresh Cut Jerky too." (In his thick country accent) Of course, I'm gonna wonder why? Everybody loves Jerky. Not the most healthy with all that sodium, but the meat is real lean with tons less saturated fats embedded within. So its definately not the worse thing to eat. Especially them cowboys love them some fresh jerky cut from the farm. (Thats my country accent) I thought I heard him wrong when I heard this so I asked him to repeat. Yes, he said "Llama Jerky is not known very well, I want to be the first to supply it" .......... Yes he did say Llama As in CuzKo on "Emperors New Groove" Llama. I could not believe it. I had to try it. Should feel Kind of guilty, but why? Just cause I was chewing on a free spirted lively Innocent Llama with its fluffy coat and cute bottom lip jiggle as they chew the hay. But out here they cut up a deer or a buffalo that we city folk eat so why not?

Well, I reserve my opinon till my next write up. Anybody that has tried this that they call Llama jerky I beg you to tell me your reviews in the comments box below. As a professional courtesy to help me describe it to the new jerky lovers as well as send it to our subscribers that may want to try a sample. T.R. Really wants me to make the trip to hand out some samples. OHHH!!! Why me? Look out for the next write up about Llama Jerky.

Till next time, Ron S. - Promo Man from T.R. Marketing --) www.trmarketmanage.com (--

Franchise - Mondelis Part 3

In light of the current Pre-launch and Launch of Mondelis - The Newest Premier On-line Society, we have dedicated this release to touch on Franchises. Couple tidbits we've encountered aiding in Lauching and Marketing a concept that is adopted to turn Profit.
We at T.R. Marketing urge the possiblity of buying Franchises all the time. As marketers its a lay in the park. We now have inherited a campaign for a business that has already gone through ringers. They have already gone through the trials to see if the phone book will give them business or how many commericals they should run. Corp "rules" have to be inherited but Even so, its still your business. The Buy -In Fees have to come from you, any additional marketing, a portion or all of supplies. You almost ask "Why don't I just start my own Business?" Because your not seeing any money for about a couple years. Say that you bought a Taco Bell Franchise. The name is already there. Even if you could, you wouldn't name your Franchise John's Taco Bell. Just that one word in front, people wonder what business that is. How does the Brand Recognition help with your marketing. The Name! Brand recognition! Most Franchises get their money back fairly quickly because of it. You could name it on the books whatever you want, but if customers see a McDonalds, their going to go. If they see the McRibb come back, they're not going to say "I want to grab a McRibb since its back out. Lets got to that McDonalds Franchise to grab it". As Far as they are concerned, you are the founder and inventor of the McRibb. The Buy-in Fees are over $50,000, alot of time but are worth it in the long run. The "Feel out" work has already been done.
Corps that offer Franchise Opportunities require only to "Keep up the Image", but it still your business. It a Marketing Coordinators Dream. We once ran promo for two seperate State Farm Agents only 1 Block from each other. One kept saying the "Budget" was too low to do alot of extravagant Promo. Allegedly, State Farm had put restrictions on everything. We had to scrounge all we could to street team for him and follow up on past clients. Yet the other agent only 300 feet south, with the same Affiliation and same market, gave us a couple thousand dollar budget. We were able to spread it out to Phone Book, Radio, a couple T.V. Spots for him.
That is one of the biggest reasons we signed on to promote Mondelis - The World Leading Internet Society. It is a sure fire way to have a inexpensive successful business. Its directly tied to Social Networking. Picture Myspace or Facebook. What you do on them, how many hours you spend on them, how many people you contact on them. Now imagine earning a part-time/full time income also. The same exact thing your doing on Myspace and Facebook your doing on the New Mondelis Social Network and getting kick back. The best Franchise Opp. Its the ONLY lucrative On-line Franchise. Buying in is only $174 and you have the infinitate ways to promote your business. The most minimum investment to Receive a hefty return in way less time just like you would a McDonalds.

Having a Marketing Coordinator

It's a fair but an interesting question to hear people ask "Why would I pay the extra salary for a Marketing Coordinator?". Its kind of funny to hear because people love to worry about mandatory needs when they deem them mandatory, but by then alot of money and time has been wasted.
Lets explain by giving an example. Is it possible to replace your water pipes when you don't have the experiance, nor the patience, nor the time to do the job. Yeah of course you can do it. Its not rocket science. Lets subtract the negatives, like the mandatory basics of not knowing to turn off your water valves from all sources or that you must change all pipes throughout the house, not just the rusted ones. You actually can figure it out for the most part and it can be palable to perform the job. What materials do you need? Which ones will do the job so your not doing it again in 2 years? Which Materials are efficient and cost effective? How Long will it take? With this duration how will your everday be effected? If it can not be done at a specific short time, How will you and your family manage? These are only some of the keys to consider for any influencial project. There is a good amount of facets to consider before starting. What has to be done to make it palable? The possiblity it gets done well at a reasonable time and well is slim. But you need your plumbing replaced, configured, and maintenanced regularly in order to have, not only good plumbing, but save you loss of investment and agrivation in the long hall.

Lets not delve really deep into the analogy, and bring the point. Marketing for a business is as essential as having your foundation of materials to do the job. Your a repairman, you need a toolbelt; your a baker you need dough. Your in Business, You need to MARKET. No business last without promoting efficiently. Its just that simple. However, its tedious, its calculating. It's not calculus, you can figure alot of it out. But to have it down will take years of trial and error and experimentation of new resources. Every business is different. The phone book may work well for one Business but not another. As well a radio spot will be pointless to one business in contrast to bread and butter of another. While your "Experimenting", you have taken away from upgrading and adjusting what you need to perserviere your business. Times change the market changes Especially today. You are digging into your pocket more and more because you gave a half cocked effort in your marketing. Owners throw away thousands of dollars, especially on start up, because they just wanted to do the "essentials" to save money. Marketing is usually what they "save on". What "essentials" can you do when you now let a salesman talk you into a $1500 promotion that gives you barely any return. Why? Because you were so configured with all the other start-up costs, inventory, compliance that "Something" had to be done to launch your business. So a untold deadline is now given to force you to jump into the first Marketing resource you think will work without knowing what is cost to ROI? What demographic uses it? How much penetration has it garnered? $1500 have now gone to one resource that could have been spread to several more effective resources.

I quote one of the Premier Marketers of our time when I say "Let go". You know what your doing in your craft. Unless you are Marketing Company, Hire a Marketing Coordinator. We suggest T.R. Marketing - Some of the most Influential Marketing Coordintors around. LOL. When you have a marketing coordinator it falls under a simple principle. "You called Joes Plumbing. 30 years of service under our Belt". The stress you will face is unbelieve able when launching a new business or campaign. You will not have patience or time to put into what it takes to promote your business. Put in the hands of someone who knows ins and outs of the most important factor to your business. Its a investment as well as a need. Make those pipes last 15 years rather than 5 by spending on the copper bearing rather than the aluminum. Relaying those wall plasters are expensive.
