Dream Chaser took to the air for the first time, in what is called a “captive carry” test. Designed to test hardware, facilities, and ground operations, the test was conducted at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Jefferson County, Colorado. A heavy-lift helicopter… lifted it. Eventually, they’ll let it go, and see if it can fly!
This one sure looks more like a spaceship than the Dragon, which just successfully docked with the International Space Station, and splashed down today in the Pacific Ocean. Of course, the Dragon is a working system, based on tried and true technology. The Dream Chaser is following in the footsteps of the Shuttle, a very much more complex design.

This submit relies on intensive private testing and use of many advert networks on my largest B2C area of interest web site which presently receives over 2.5 million month-to-month web page views.
With this stage of site visitors, I’m in a position to rapidly take a look at advert networks and decide whether or not they’re price utilizing.
Below is my listing of 15 prime Adsense alternatives or advert networks for extra incremental income.
IMPORTANT: I nonetheless use AdSense. However, I’ve used many advert networks through the years. I take advantage of a number of advert networks presently. This article units out all I learn about advert networks I’ve used and am utilizing. I embody some that I’ve by no means used however have heard about them from writer colleagues.
This isn’t some regurgitated listing of advert networks which you’ll simply discover by looking Google your self.
This listing relies on all kinds of advert networks I’ve tried. Some I proceed utilizing whereas others not any extra, however I embody them as a result of they could be good in your to attempt.
Most importantly, the set of advert networks and choices under are a various set of promoting choices.
The subsequent twist with my advert show is utilizing AdSense Link adverts. The Link adverts are adverts that appear like menu buttons. In order so that you can earn cash, guests should click on each the advert in addition to a hyperlink on the next touchdown web page. It’s a two-click payout.
Now earlier than you shut this web page since you assume income will probably be pitiful if folks should click on twice, maintain studying. I used to not use them both as a result of they carried out terribly. However, in 2016 AdSense redesigned the items in addition to the following touchdown web page. The new design is implausible and the press by charge (i.e. getting two clicks) is actually excessive for me. In truth, it was so excessive once I first applied them in early 2017 I needed to transfer them under the fold to keep away from any “accidental click” penalty from AdSense.
And it’s not simply me. I shared this with a training pupil and he too ended up with such a excessive CTR charge that he needed to transfer them down (and he’s in a very totally different area of interest).
Again, in case your click on by charge is actually excessive, transfer them down a bit.
One HUGE benefit of Link adverts (apart from the income): A ultimate big profit is that since I’m utilizing hyperlink adverts fairly a bit, the one remaining common AdSense advert unit I’ve within the sidebar avoids the “nessie arrow” penalty on the textual content adverts. Yes, AdSense presently runs a “nessie ad” penalty which is triggered if the press by charge on textual content adverts is simply too excessive. What occurs is the arrows within the textual content adverts are eliminated, which hurts income. Now that I garner far more clicks on hyperlink adverts, it deflects clicks on the textual content adverts and so the nessie arrows keep in place. The result’s the best click on by charge.
The listing goes to 19, however 2 on this listing are now not accessible. I saved them on the listing simply in your information.
I’m not presently utilizing Media.internet however I’ve extensively. I’m not utilizing them as a result of my placements are maxed out with a couple of AdSense adverts after which principally Monumetric which has labored nice for me.
However, I feel most smaller publishers ought to attempt Media.internet. Even greater publishers. The adverts pays nicely. This is very the case in case you don’t have an AdSense account.
They supply terrific advert customization leading to excessive advert conversion and the RPM is respectable. The adverts are hyperlink items that look fabulous and are available in many designs. Often they appear like menu navigation with textual content hyperlinks. These items can get a wonderful click on by charges in lots of niches (not all niches, however many). It’s a contextual advert community in that the key phrases within the adverts are primarily based on the websites’ content material.
You can place as much as Three advert items on a web page.
Overall, Media.internet is a bit more lenient about placement than AdSense… though they do have a phrases of service you have to be conversant in. Like Adsense, Media.internet (and all high quality advert networks) is not going to tolerate rubbish site visitors and click on fraud.
Since beginning with Media.internet, I’ve constantly elevated my income with them. Here’s a current incomes screenshot (simply to point out you may truly earn respectable income with their advert community.
Just as you want AdSense approval with AdSense, you should additionally apply and be approved with Media.net.
In November 2016 they’re rolling out in-image adverts. I’m of their beta program to see how they carry out. This might be an thrilling further providing.
In 2018 they rolled out video adverts.
Updated information: Monumetric is now my highest incomes promoting community. I’ve been working with them for many of 2016. This remains to be the case in 2018. I earn extra with Monumetric than with AdSense.
Monumetric makes use of header bidding which has improved efficiency. Of course they aren’t the one outfit that presents header bidding.
They are very progressive in new advert ideas. For instance, they supply desktop/cellular sticky advert items which earn ridiculously nicely. This advert community is a severe various to AdSense.
In the start I rolled them out slowly. It didn’t take lengthy to comprehend this advert community means enterprise. The income they generate for me is great. I nonetheless don’t totally perceive how they do it, however they’ve some wonderful advertisers of their community (along with Ad Exchange).
Monumetric pays on a per web page view foundation as an alternative of a per click on foundation. This is nice, particularly since their CPM within reason good.
Here’s a current earnings chart from Monumetric for my greater web site. While it’s not a fortune in income, have in mind that is purely incremental income from sidebar and footer advert placements.
Ezoic is a distinct advert community idea altogether. I’ve labored with them for fairly some time. Read more about Ezoic here (my very recent and upated Ezoic review).
I’m not presently utilizing Ezoic, nevertheless, if you wish to do some cut up testing, it’s a superb platform to attempt.
Ezoic is a licensed Adsense writer. Ezoic in a nutshell manages and optimizes your advert placement. Their software program for testing advert placement is superb.
They present Ad Exchange adverts which you’ll set as much as cut up take a look at along with your AdSense. The cut up testing options are superb. Moreover, by way of Ezoic you may have 5 advert items in your web site as an alternative of the standard Three permitted by AdSense.
Currently, I’m utilizing Ezoic for cellular (AMP). It takes a number of weeks for Ezoic to conduct testing. In truth, testing by no means ends, however the first a number of weeks is when the system actually assessments a variety of advert placements and layouts. As it does this testing, it guidelines out poorly performing layouts.
You can optimize your web site for income, bounce charge and/or web page views. I select to concentrate on income.
You do want an AdSense account in good standing to be able to work with Ezoic. If they settle for your web site into their system, I counsel embracing the chance. Just be affected person through the first few weeks as a result of the income gained’t be nice because the system begins its testing… but it surely doesn’t take lengthy for income to climb.
Generally, Ezoic states its system can considerably enhance a web site’s advert income by intensive testing, generally as much as 200%+. While I didn’t get pleasure from a 200% income enhance, the income they’ll generate together with the cut up testing may help. Moreover, I like the very fact that they’re a really educated sounding board for advert placement concepts.
If you utilize show adverts in your web site, I counsel giving Ezoic a shot. However, don’t pull the plug on day 3. You have to decide to letting the preliminary intensive testing run its course.
New Ezoic Info (November 2016): Ezoic is launching an AMP (accelerated cellular pages) app that will flip your cellular show into AMP for Google search engine guests. This may be very thrilling. Ezoic is within the strategy of setting me up with this. Moreover, Ezoic will monetize the AMP pages, which isn’t really easy to do since you should create AMP particular adverts in AdSense. I’ll cowl this in additional element as soon as it’s up and operating on my web site (any day now).
Update: Criteo is now not accessible for publishers.
Specifically, I used GumGum picture overlay adverts. These are adverts that show banners on the backside of photographs. I usually contemplate placing their adverts on my websites once more, however I’m fairly maxed out proper now and concern it might be overkill.
My B2C area of interest websites are image-rich, so GumGum is an ideal advert community so as to add to the positioning.
You can select how aggressive the adverts show corresponding to 10% of photographs, 20% of photographs and so forth. I am going with 12% to 15%. I don’t need each picture to have an advert on them.
The one difficulty with GumGum is you should have a minimal of 500,000 month-to-month web page views to be able to have an account. If you get this site visitors quantity and have photographs in your web site, I like to recommend you give them a shot.
Amazon ended their CPM show advert program.
UPDATE 2018: I’m utilizing Spoutable’s exit intent advert on 2 area of interest websites. It’s a pleasant chunk of incremental earnings.
Spoutable is a brand new advert community and it’s a really sensible idea. Essentially, Spoutable makes use of exit intent know-how. When a customer signifies they’re leaving the positioning by inserting cursor on the browser handle bar, the Spoutable adverts pop up.
Spoutable adverts are in the identical format as native adverts. Basically they promote different content material very like Taboola and Outbrain adverts. This is nice as a result of the adverts are selling different fascinating content material… not hard-selling one thing.
The engagement is sort of excessive. I feel the adverts look nice.
Currently, Spoutable is on an invite-only foundation, however you may apply here.
Here are some current earnings I’ve had with Spoutable. Revenue fluctuates considerably, however that’s widespread with many advert networks.
Note: Currently I’m testing Spoutable by turning them on and off to see in the event that they cannibalize different advert networks. I don’t assume they’re, however I all the time do that testing with new advert networks. Overall, the income is respectable. If you get an invitation to make use of them, I counsel you take a look at them as nicely.
EngageBDR invited me to position a few of their adverts on my web site. They provided a really excessive RPM so I gave it a shot.
The income these adverts generated was superior and it was primarily based on a CPM foundation. That stated, I do know their adverts generated a variety of clicks… and if these clicks didn’t occur on my web site, EngageBDR would have ended their relationship with me.
However, I’m now not operating EngageBDR adverts on my web site as a result of their adverts had been slowing my web site down. They had been gif format. They tried to repair the problem, but it surely wasn’t fastened. I had readers complained about web site efficiency, so I eliminated the adverts. I didn’t like eradicating the adverts as a result of they made some huge cash, however I can’t sacrifice person expertise for the sake of income to the diploma these adverts did.
I’m together with EngageBDR on this listing as a result of I feel it’s best to give them a shot if you may get into their advert community. Perhaps you gained’t have the identical web site points I did. If you don’t, you may make some huge cash with them… in reality in case your web site performs nicely for them (i.e. you generate a variety of changing site visitors for them), these adverts may exceed Adsense income on an RPM foundation.
Taboola adverts are native promoting adverts. These adverts hyperlink to fashionable and attractive content material. You’ve probably seen them on different web sites… they’re the adverts that comply with “From the Web” or some related phrase.
Taboola is an advert community I don’t use a lot. It’s one I haven’t had an excessive amount of success with. However, I’m together with Taboola as a result of I’ve writer colleagues who generate an excessive amount of income with them.
For some cause Taboola adverts don’t work all that nice in my area of interest. But they do carry out nicely in lots of niches, so I counsel you give them a shot. These adverts have a comparatively excessive CTR and with a variety of site visitors, can generate some nice income.
Typically these adverts are positioned in sidebars and under content material. You must also positively take a look at some in-content placement as nicely.
FYI, Taboola isn’t the one native advert community. There are lots of them. Too many to listing. Outbrain is one other fashionable native advert community, however you want thousands and thousands of month-to-month web page views to be able to place Outbrain’s adverts in your web site. Taboola doesn’t have such a excessive threshold.
I used Vibrant Media’s in-text adverts for a number of months. I earned $7 to $10 per day. It wasn’t a lot. I don’t use them any extra; nevertheless, I’m together with them on this listing as a result of I feel they’re price making an attempt.
The cause they didn’t do nicely for me is as a result of my B2C websites are image-rich. The textual content is way much less necessary. Since Vibrant Media’s in-text providing is concentrated on in-text hyperlinks, I’m not stunned they didn’t do nicely for me.
If your web site is wealthy with text-based data and also you get 500,000 month-to-month web page views, I counsel testing Vibrant Media.
RevContent is for my part essentially the most progressive native advert community. They have some superb advert choices, particularly for cellular.
I examined them fairly a bit. I like them, however sadly they weren’t an excellent match for my area of interest.
That stated, I feel each web site that makes use of adverts to monetize ought to attempt RevContent as a result of if it’s a good match, they’ll make you a ton of cash. I’ve seen income from colleagues and it’s very, very excessive. The income CPC might be wonderful in sure niches.
I’m presently utilizing EnergyInfield to monetize my e-mail newsletters. If you may’t appear to generate a lot or any income along with your e-mail e-newsletter however have a superb variety of subscribers, give EnergyInfield adverts a shot.
EnergyInfield gives native adverts that you may insert into your e-mail e-newsletter. They’re pretty partaking and their algorithm adjusts over time so that it serves adverts your readership responds to.
The advert items are horizontal and vertical items (known as stripes). You can place one, two or extra stripes in your e-newsletter.
I’m getting $7 to $14 RPM from these items which I’m joyful about.
I’ve identified about Skimlinks for years.
Update 2018: I take advantage of Skimlinks on all websites now and find it irresistible. It makes including affiliate hyperlinks a lot simpler and quicker. I wrote a full-blown Slimlinks review here.
Skimlinks is a monetization platform that turns all hyperlinks to retailers of their community into affiliate hyperlinks. For instance, in case you place a hyperlink to Amazon.com, Skimlinks will flip that into an affiliate hyperlink.
Skimlinks is an affiliate internet marketing device turning hyperlinks into affiliate hyperlinks sitewide.
The important cause I take advantage of Skimlinks is with so many writers on my websites creating hyperlinks to retailers, it saves me a ton of time as a result of I don’t have to return and insert affiliate hyperlinks.
Am I making more cash with Skimlinks?
No, however I’m not making much less. My affiliate commissions have all the time fluctuated, however general my affiliate income stays about the identical. Therefore, I like the comfort of utilizing Skimlinks.
Also, I don’t set Skimlinks to override current affiliate hyperlinks. I solely have Skimlinks flip non-affiliate hyperlinks into affiliate hyperlinks.
Amazon native adverts are a performance-based promoting program. Basically Amazon gives you code which generates engaging product grids you may place wherever in your web site. If your web site content material revolves round subjects for which there are bodily merchandise accessible, these items can carry out very nicely.
In order so that you can earn income, a web site customer should click on a hyperlink or picture within the advert after which buy one thing at Amazon from which you earn a fee.
These items can be found and might be created in your Amazon Associates portal.
I just lately gave Infolinks a attempt. I like their platform. I like a few of their advert choices, however I’m very proud of my present advert combine and since my websites are image-centric, the textual content hyperlink adverts didn’t actually do nicely. I do assume, nevertheless, in case your web site has loads of textual content that Infolinks is price making an attempt.
Infolinks is fashionable advert community. Their declare to fame is popping textual content into hyperlink adverts in your web site. They aren’t affiliate hyperlinks like Skimlinks; as an alternative, the adverts ppc.
I’m contemplating operating their inframe adverts once more. I don’t have these sorts on my web site and so it’s a novel providing that might add some good incremental income.
I consider you want an lively AdSense account to make use of Mediavine. You additionally want 35,000 month-to-month web page views. While I don’t use Mediavine, I’ve talked to many publishers who do and have had excellent outcomes.
Based on what I’ve heard, they’re a particular must-try.
Why don’t I take advantage of them? They denied me. I nonetheless can’t determine it out. I’ve by no means been denied an advert community apart from Mediavine and AdThrive. Go determine.
Like Mediavine, I’ve heard from publishers that AdThrive will get superb outcomes. I’d prefer to attempt them however my software was rejected. I used to be given no cause both.
If you may get in, it’s price making an attempt. They handel all advert optimization which saves you time. I do know I’d save time from my tinkering.
Nativo is a brand new addition to my web site. Revenue has been okay. The idea is exclusive. The advert they put in your web site hyperlinks to an article they supply. The article can also be in your web site (they load the article and advert from their finish).
Nativo advised me they like websites inside a distinct segment fairly than basic web sites.
Underdog Media has some nice show advert choices corresponding to gutter adverts, slide-in adverts and sticky adverts. I see their adverts on a variety of websites. They’re a fairly large participant. I ran them for some time, however want Monumetric’s sticky adverts.
I like Underdog’s gutter adverts, however like in-image adverts, it’s simply an excessive amount of at this level for my web site.
If you may get permitted, attempt exponential (previously known as Tribal Fusion). I feel that is can be an excellent various to AdSense.
I utilized to exponential (when it was known as Tribal Fusion) and was denied. This was about 2 years in the past, so possibly I’d be permitted now… I don’t know. They speak an enormous speak and it appears they do carry out nicely. However, they’re very, very tough to be permitted for. They have a 500,000 month-to-month web page view threshold, strict web site high quality necessities and so they require that you place their adverts above-the-fold.
If you might be permitted, I feel you positively wish to attempt Tribal Fusion. One day possibly I’ll be permitted for considered one of my websites.
If you’ve been banned by AdSense, you positively wish to see if you may get into exponential.
One of Ezoic’s current updates is that they now allow you to run advert networks along with Ezoic. When I first used Ezoic I couldn’t use further networks that participated on Ad Exchange (corresponding to Media.internet). That was an enormous drawback for me as a result of Media.internet has all the time been such an excellent income supply.
However, in 2015 Ezoic utterly revamped their platform and now allow me to make use of Media.internet and different advert networks along with Ezoic.
It’s a balancing act when including extra adverts to any internet web page. You wish to keep away from cannibalization of your increased incomes adverts.
This why it’s good to check new advert networks one-by-one to find out how further advert networks affect general income.
The cause the above mixture of adverts works nicely as an Adsense various or along with Adsense adverts is they provide distinctive options and function in a different way. For instance, GumGum allows you to monetize photographs.
Media.internet adverts carry out very nicely in content material and under content material as a result of the adverts appear like navigation choices. Amazon CPM adverts work nice as a result of you may place them wherever and earn on a strict CPM foundation.
More just isn’t needed extra. Less just isn’t needed extra. It takes testing. Every web site is exclusive. What works nicely for me might not work nicely for you. Nevertheless, the above listing is a set of confirmed advert networks that you may take a look at.
Even in case you uncover just one further advert community that works nicely for you, the 6 minutes it took to learn this listing was time nicely spent.
As far as I do know, all the above advert networks are nice to make use of with Adsense on an online web page. Please notice that I’m not a Google Adsense worker and so I don’t know for positive… nevertheless, I’ve no difficulty incorporating the above adverts on my web site with Adsense. I simply make sure the adverts aren’t positioned subsequent to Adsense and I make sure the adverts don’t seem in an analogous type to Adsense adverts.
If you continue to have an AdSense account, you’ll most likely embody AdSense items in your web site as a result of it undeniably will earn cash very nicely relative to different networks… however I counsel testing further advert networks. Even although AdSense lifted the advert unit cap, it’s not a free-for-all … in reality I just lately discovered how many AdSense units was too many on considered one of my area of interest websites.
If you don’t have an AdSense account anymore or are ready for AdSense approval, don’t sweat it. There are many different nice networks and advert varieties you need to use to generate income.
You’ll additionally wish to ask what are among the increased CPM charges different publishers with them earn. I ask this instantly. If they reply $2 or much less, I’m not . If they are saying $5 or extra, we’ll speak. I’ll then inquire which varieties of adverts are producing such CPMs. If the adverts are insanely annoying, I’ll decline.
When I take a look at a brand new advert community, I don’t simply stick the unit in one of the best spots. I put the items under the fold and see how they do there. I notice they gained’t earn a ton there, but when they do nicely there relative to different networks, I’ll maintain working with them.
I NEVER select an advert community primarily based on minimal payout. That’s sort of lame characteristic to advertise. Don’t get suckered by the bottom a low payout threshold. What you need is to search for advert networks that pays nicely per 1,000 guests.
FYI, a cost threshold is how a lot you should earn earlier than you’re eligible to obtain cost.
I like distinctive choices. In truth, I like advert variety on my web site. That’s an enormous cause I work with a number of advert networks.
These days you may put adverts wherever at nearly any time. When selecting advert networks, take into consideration what every presents in your web site and the place they’ll go. That stated, you don’t need so many adverts in your web site that guests can’t learn/view/watch your content material. It’s a balancing act.
Here’s an inventory of the primary varieties of adverts (a web site promoting glossary) accessible for a web site.
Should you utilize an advert optimization service?
If testing and organising adverts drives you loopy, you may choose to go together with an advert administration service.
An advert administration service handles all advert monetization. Their payment is often a p.c of the income generated. If you’re inexperienced with advert testing or can’t be bothered doing it, utilizing an advert optimization service can dramatically enhance your advert income.
What do advert administration providers do for you?
All of those components go into advert optimization. Because there are various variables, there are various, many configurations that might be examined. I explain more about site layout and ad optimization here. If you don’t use a service, these are variables you’ll wish to take a look at as nicely so that you maximize the income from every advert area in your web site.
Ezoic: Ezoic presents full administration (by way of software program) as nicely self-directed choices for advert placement. I’m an enormous fan of Ezoic as a result of they work with a variety of advert networks, their testing capabilities are terrific, they’re progressive with cellular and their reporting is implausible. FYI, for cellular I’ll be utilizing the complete structure tester platform with the AMP module very shortly. I feel this will probably be big.
AdThrive: I’ve by no means used AdThrive, however I’ve learn good issues. I’ve seen some spectacular income numbers from them. Moreover, I’ve seen websites that they handle and I can say from my expertise, they know the place to place adverts so that they generate good income. While I haven’t used them, I feel they might be price making an attempt out in case you don’t like testing adverts your self.
IMPORTANT tip for utilizing advert administration providers: Some advert administration providers will need you to signal a long run contract. I might not do that except the promised cash was mind-blowing. However, and that is the kicker, extravagant guarantees means the variety of adverts and annoyance stage could also be very, very excessive. If you commit long run, you might lose management over this, which is one thing I don’t assume I may hand over. The truth is a few varieties of adverts can (or will shortly) damage search engine marketing (i.e. interstitial adverts). In my view, adverts that damage search engine marketing aren’t price it in any respect except you actually don’t care about search engine site visitors.

Learn strategies to centralize and coordinate efforts against inappropriate opioid prescribing and misuse.
Opioid misuse and abuse is one of the most pressing public health issues in the U.S., and hospitals and health systems are on the front lines. Currently, most health systems focus their opioid management efforts on select medical specialties, and providers typically intervene only after the patient has shown signs of misuse and addiction. Given the accelerating epidemic it’s clear that this is not enough.
This research report outlines three imperatives to guide hospitals and health systems in their efforts to reduce the impact of inappropriate opioid prescribing and misuse.

The Lieutenant Governor has several official symbols.
The Vice-Regal Salute accorded to the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba is a musical greeting and mark of respect performed in the presence of The Queen’s representative. It consists of the first six bars of the Royal Anthem, “God Save The Queen”, followed by a short version (the first four bars and the last four bars) of the National Anthem, “O Canada”.
It is played at the opening of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba, military march-pasts and other events attended by the Lieutenant Governor. Because it is a salute to the Lieutenant Governor, the audience does not sing either of the abbreviated anthems when the Vice-Regal Salute is played. It is played when Her Honour reaches the dias in the case of ceremonial functions and when she reaches her seat in the case of other events.
The Vice-Regal Salute was approved by Her Majesty The Queen in 1968. The same salute is used for the Governor General and for the Lieutenant Governors of the other nine provinces.
The Lieutenant Governor is entitled to a 15-gun Royal Salute on the occasion of the opening of the Legislative Assembly and when making an official visit to a military saluting base within Manitoba.
A Guard of Honour is accorded to the Lieutenant Governor on the occasion of the opening of the Legislative Assembly and may also be mounted on other occasions of provincial significance.
The Lieutenant Governor’s Standard is a blue flag with the Shield of the Arms of Manitoba at its centre, circled with 10 gold maple leaves and surmounted by a Crown which symbolizes the role of the Lieutenant Governor as The Queen’s representative in Manitoba. The symbol at the centre is also used by the Office of Lieutenant Governor on Her Honour’s stationery and other material.
The Vice-Regal Standard of the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba was approved by the Governor General of Canada, acting in the name of The Queen, in 1981. A standard was adopted for all Lieutenant Governors and all are similar, except that the Shield in the centre is different in each case to portray the Arms of the respective province.
It is customary for the Standard to fly at all times at Government House, the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba. It is flown on the car in which Her Honour travels, and from flagpoles outside of buildings in which official visits and duties take place. It is also flown in the Lieutenant Governor’s office in the Legislative Building, as well as in the Blue Room where official ceremonies occur.
The Standard takes precedence over all other flags in Manitoba, including the Canadian flag. The Standards of The Queen and of the Governor General take precedence over the Lieutenant Governor’s Standard. The Lieutenant Governor’s Standard is never lowered to half-mast but, on the death of a Vice-Regal representative, it is taken down until a successor is installed.
From the time of Confederation, Lieutenant Governors have been granted the courtesy title “His Honour” or “Her Honour” while in office. The courtesy title was extended to the spouses of vice-regal representatives in 1985.
Additionally, since 1927, the title “The Honourable” has been given for life to Lieutenant Governors. Some earlier Lieutenant Governors had the title, but it was because of their membership in the Privy Council or as a former Senator.

One of the unique blogs I check regularly is Contemporary Nomad. A collection of authors from around the globe, it has a unique perspective and often unique content. Yesterday was a good example. Olen Steinhauer posted a short Q&A with fellow author and nomad John Nadler. Nadler’s latest work, A Perfect Hell : The True Story of the Black Devils, the Forefathers of the Special Forces, was released March 28 and only sat down with him to ask a few questions.
3. Reading A Perfect Hell, I was struck by the great sympathy you clearly have for the soldiers, and the respect you have for their experiences. The same is true in Searching for Sofia. It comes through in your word choice and the way you construct scenes and elaborate characters. Who do you think are your biggest influences as a writer?
As a teenager, I guess I was most influenced by the new journalists of the ’60s and ’70s: George Plimpton, Gay Talese, Peter Maas, Truman Capote, Jimmy Breslin, Tom Wolfe, and even Hunter Thompson, writers who pioneered the use of literary techniques to tell a non-fiction story. This technique seemed to create new vistas in journalism that even as a young guy I was really excited by. A fascinating sub-genre was the participatory journalism of Plimpton’s Paper Lion and Thompson’s Hells Angels, which inspired me in Searching for Sofia because circumstances demanded that I be part of the story. A Perfect Hell is straight narrative, but for me it was a fascinating writing experience because it was a literary non-fiction exercise, a journalistic exercise (based on my interviews with veterans), and a chance to try my hand at popular history.
I am sure Jeff will want to check this one out.

“Chennai is so hot January end onwards, you both are going to have a tough time!” was what everyone was saying to us in a teasing tone when we moved to Chennai post marriage!!
But look at the climate here…..I am loving it in Chennai right now. It is raining since two days and its just lovely to look outside the window or stand in the balcony or to ride my red scooty all alone on the damp roads.
As I rode my way to my office today my mind was filled with only admiration for my new hometown, the wet green trees, the coolness due to the rains mixing tenderly with the breeze unmistakably bringing a smile on my face, the wheels of the vehicles on the road were squirting the yellow leaves fallen from the trees haywire, everyone walking around with pleasant faces.
It was purely a magical morning.
It was 17th February 08. It was a Sunday. It was 8.30 pm. And we were excited about our upcoming trip to Mumbai. We were shopping….listing things which were still to be bought and the things we had already purchased. We actually could not contain our happiness!! We were on the bike traveling from one shop to another! Amit was humming a kishore song while I rested on his back listening to his voice and thinking of the fun we both were going to have in Mumbai! And suddenly I felt my body falling down to the left. I looked ahead with terror in my eyes and I saw a car right in front. It hit us from the right and we both banged to the floor. The bike fell too. I was crying loudly. Yelling actually amidst the tears. I was in a state of complete shock. What has happened?? I was asking myself.. I was blank! I saw Amit jump up as instantly as he must have fallen down. He came running to me. He was almost on the verge of crying. Yet he stood there brave. There was blood on my right knee. My jeans had torn. There were people around us. We both had never ever felt so lonely ever before. The people were really helpful. They bought me a bottle of water, helped me sit in the Autorikshaw. And Amit and me were on the way to some nearby hospital. I was crying and crying more. Amit was trying to fold my jeans up so that he could see what had happened…but I was too scared to let him touch!! And I would plead not to touch so he would feel really sorry and squeeze my hand tightly. He couldn’t talk too. We reached the hospital. Someone brought the wheelchair. They placed me in it and took us to some room. There was an x ray machine. And they asked me to sleep on the bench attached to the machine. The doctor available at that time suggested that we take an x ray first to see if there is any fracture. I lied down while Amit consoled me. I suddenly looked at him and asked him if he had hurt himself. He fortunately hadn’t!! We both waited while they came in for the x-ray. I collected all the courage lying around in my heart and folded my jeans up till the thigh and there it was! My knee was cut. I could see flesh and I felt numb! It was such a deep cut…oh god! I was terrified of what was going to happen. Amit was telling me in a sharp voice to not look at it. But one sight of it was enough for me to fall flat back. The x ray was done and to our fortune I dint have a fracture!! It was a relief.
An orthopedic doctor was on his way they told us and we waited. With ice placed on my knee to make it feel numb. Now the story was upside down. While we waited there silently Amit was losing it. He was trying hard to stop his tears. I was not crying at all. I was consoling him. I was telling him not to cry, that I felt fine now, much better. He would say okay and again after a few seconds there would a tear in his eyes ready to pop out! It was so hard for both of us.
By the time the doctor arrived I was given 2 injections. One on my wrist and the other on my waist. These injections were to stop infection to spread and the other was to reduce the pain. But the worst part was that the injections pained even after they were given. Maybe the trick was to increase the pain of the injection and divert my mind from the knee. At least that’s what I thought at that moment.
After the doctor arrived he said he would have to give a local anesthesia and clean the wound first. Two stitches would be needed to help the wound get better. He said that he would give some injections in my knee….and I was petrified! Oh God what is happening…I would ask myself. But I had no option but to listen to the doctor. He began. Amit was telling me to squeeze his hand tightly if it pained. And I nodded. The first injection pricked me hard. And I shivered. Shivered more….cried. I was shivering the whole time he operated. By the time it was done I had taken 4 injections & 2 stitches.
Finally the doctor said, it’s done. He insisted that I get admitted because there were line of intravenous anti biotics to be taken ahead but we pleaded that the treatment we would continue in Mumbai. So he agreed. I was trying to smile because I thought it was over now for the time being. But the doctor informed that there were still three injections to be taken. One of them intravenous and the other two normal and I almost fainted. I screamed as they pushed in the needles one after the other. The intravenous injections are demons actually!! Finally it was done!! Done for the night. I had to be given intravenous injections for three more days, three times a day. That was awful and I felt nausea gripping my throat and total weakness within my body. I kept telling myself that I could be brave and that it would be fine.
And I was placed on the wheelchair again. Doctor warned not to walk, take complete bed rest for at a week at least! We nodded. Amit’s friends waited for us. It was 12.00 at night. We reached home. His friends were gone. And we both were alone. Amit gave up. He had been waiting for this moment. He cried in my arms, loudly. Just like a small child would cry. I cried too. No one consoled. We knew we were lucky enough to escape something major which could have happened.
This incident brought us closer to each other than ever before. I always used to tease Amit that he will understand my importance only when I won’t be around and he warned me not to say that ever again. He kept saying that he had suddenly had a glimpse of something terribly ugly and he did not wish to think ahead.
He wanted to rejoice and so did I.
Just the other day I was listening to the song ‘Making love out of nothing at all’ and I flew into my past…when I used to chat with Amit. We used to chat on the mobile for hours together. The whole bunch of those sweet and sour days mingled in my mind. It was like I was watching a movie in which I and him played the lead roles and the song was the director. That song did wonders. It actually rewound a particular time in my life which I can relate to strongly with that song because I used to listen to that song a lot around that time!
When I listen to the songs of Dil Toh Pagal Hai…..they take me back to my 10th standard year…..they take me back to those times when we all so called 10th standard grown ups used to watch this movie again and again…..the songs were by heart known to all of us!!
The fun we all had at that time was flashed back into my senses.
When ever I listen to the songs of Mukesh……I go back to the time when I and my brother were young and we used to travel a lot with our parents in our Maruti 800. My dad used to play these songs which I did not enjoy much back then…Me and my brother hardly listened actually…we were busy giggling and teasing and having fun. But now when those songs are played anywhere they automatically take to me to that period of my life. Its so wonderful! I don’t even have to close my eyes or anything…..open eyed yet not looking ahead…I am enjoying peeping in that time of my life without any efforts….!!

Information and Communication Technology or “ICT,” includes products that store, process, transmit, convert, duplicate, or receive electronic information. Examples are: software applications and operating systems; web-based information and applications such as distance learning; telephones and other telecommunications products; video equipment and multimedia products that may be distributed on videotapes, CDs, DVDs, email, or the World Wide Web; office products such as photocopiers and fax machines; calculators; and computer hardware. Electronic textbooks, instructional software, email, chat, and distance learning programs are also examples of ICT.
How is "ICT" different from "AT"?
Assistive technology, as it relates to information and communication technology, includes special tools or software to help people use computers, software, the Internet, telephones, or other technology used in education. Examples are: special keyboards; software to magnify a computer screen or audibly read the text on a computer screen; text telephones (TTYs) to help people who are deaf communicate using the telephone.
Information and communication technology may be inaccessible to people if it provides only one way to access the information. For example, those with visual impairments cannot read documents presented only in a visual format; people who are deaf cannot understand content that is only presented orally; people who have limited use of their hands or arms may not use a computer mouse; and people who use wheelchairs may not be able to operate a fax machine if the controls are impossible to reach.
Many of these barriers can be reduced or eliminated when the principles of "universal design" are used to design and develop the information technology. The decision to plan ahead for accessibility can reduce the need for special accommodations.

Never thought I would have to use a service like SERVPRO but when I discovered mold in my son's closet I called them. Quick response and great communication! The process was fast too. Thanks everyone!
When I discovered mold in my attic I was so nervous. I called SERVPRO of Milwaukie Happy Valley and they came right over with in an hour. They walked me through the process of getting rid of the mold and made me feel much better about living in my home.
We had a water damage back in 2017 and thought nothing of the matter, now we have come across some mold. Our Neighbor had some work done on her home and recommended we use SERVPRO of Milwaukie/ Happy Valley. We were very impressed with their work and their professionalism!
Helped me understand just how bad the mold was, and took care of it in a timely manner!

The multihyphenate artist talked about his collaboration with Adidas Originals and where he finds inspiration for everything from style to music.
It may have been the pink hue that tinged the sound stage at The Lot studios in West Hollywood, or perhaps it was the puffy faux clouds that hung from the ceiling, but the dreamy setting seemed just the right one for Pharrell Williams to get deep on where he drew inspiration for his collaboration with Adidas and life in general.
The Grammy-award winning music artist, producer and designer — whose name has been linked with Karl Lagerfeld, Comme des Garçons, Moncler and Colette — was on set Friday night at the site of his and Adidas’ launch event to talk the second drop of his Adidas Originals = Pharrell Williams Pink Beach collection.
The first iteration became available earlier this month. The second drop for spring presented a fuller range for men and women along with children’s versions. Friday’s event was also linked to a Snapchat takeover by Williams and a retail pop-up at Nice Kicks in downtown Los Angeles that runs through Sunday.
It all started in 2014 when Adidas sent Williams leather versions of its classic Firebird jacket. He doodled. The drawings were then embroidered onto the jackets, which became the inspiration behind Pink Beach.
It’s another level of thinking. For Adidas, the idea behind Pink Beach was about drawing people in.
Williams, who describes himself as curious and ever the “perpetual student,” said he finds inspiration from just about anywhere — whether that be Lagerfeld or strangers on the street.
Technology and social media have certainly helped the ability to discover those individuals much easier, Williams said.
As for how the artist’s relationship with Adidas might evolve, Williams was mum in respect to any future collaborations with the German brand.

Tucked away in Montgomery, Alabama, is the world’s only museum dedicated to writer F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda.
The Fitzgeralds, along with their daughter, Scottie, moved into the house at 919 Felder Avenue in the fall of 1931. At the time, Fitzgerald was working on his novel Tender is the Night, as well as a screenwriting job on Red-Headed Woman, a Jean Harlow movie. In January, 1932, Zelda had a mental collapse which led her to a Baltimore clinic. Scott and Scottie remained in the home through April of that year.
Slated for destruction in 1986, Julian and Leslie McPhillips saved the home and established the Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum Association, opening it to the public the following year. Zelda was from Montgomery, which led the couple to return there a number of times. The Felder house is the last surviving home in Montgomery either Scott or Zelda lived in.
The main entrance to the house leads into a small foyer, with doors to the right and left, and stairs going up. The museum itself occupies the first floor, with private apartments above. The tour begins with a half hour video from the 1980’s telling the story of the house and the Fitzgeralds, including interviews with people who knew them during their time in Montgomery. The place is filled with photos, books, letters, personal possessions, and Fitzgerald-related memorabilia for sale.
The museum, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2014, hosts annual galas and other events throughout the year.
Not far off of I-65, the museum is in an old neighborhood near Alabama State University. There is plenty of street parking available.
The country music legend's grave is surrounded by Astroturf because fans kept plucking out the grass.

While Jobvite’s latest Recruiter Nation Survey shows that almost 40% of companies plan to hire extensively in 2017, some industries—like manufacturing—might have it harder than others when it comes to finding quality talent.
1) We have a new U.S. President.
It’s no secret that President Trump wants to bring manufacturing back to the United States as part of his efforts to reinvigorate American jobs. Sounds promising—but for manufacturing companies and tech companies who currently have factories outside of the U.S., this kind of shift calls entire recruiting strategies into question.
More homeland manufacturing means ending jobs overseas, which in turn triggers a massive need for American candidates for at least the next 4 years (and possibly longer). And—to make matters worse (or better?)—the more companies bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States, the more competitive the war for skilled talent will become. Companies looking to come out on top need to get the right recruiting tools in play fast. In particular, look for tools that streamline sourcing and help you fill the pipeline.
2) You’ve got an image problem.
Millennials are the most up-and-coming group of candidates out there, and the reality is that their number one industry by far is tech. They see tech companies as young and innovative and impactful—whereas manufacturing, on the whole, seems older and more functional. Not bad, just not as engaging.
Of course, we know that manufacturers most certainly use cutting-edge technology. The challenge now is branding your company as that kind of employer—a place where highly skilled employees thrive, and where real change and innovation happens. Craft a consistent message targeted at millennials, and get the word out via all your channels, including your career site and social media.
3) The right talent is scarce.
Contrary to what millennials might think, manufacturing companies are actually evolving substantially. They’re implementing more advanced technology, and as a result, they’re dramatically increasing project complexity. On the one hand, that means many old-school factory jobs have become automated. But on the other hand, many of the manufacturing jobs that do need to be filled now require a lot more knowledge and experience than in the past. That translates to a difficult truth—because there simply aren’t many highly educated, technologically-savvy candidates with backgrounds in manufacturing. Career professionals from the baby boomer days are getting set to retire, and millennials—while an excellent source of technical expertise—lack on-the-job wisdom.
You’re going to need to work hard to attract—and train—tomorrow’s workforce. Make the most of recruitment marketing tools that help you create segmented campaigns by role and persona, so you can find people who truly have what it takes to fill key positions today and in the future.
4) You can’t ignore mobile.
As we shift to a younger and more tech-attached workforce, make sure you focus not only on who you recruit, but on how and where you recruit as well. That means promoting your brand and building candidate relationships via mobile. Millennials in particular are on their smartphones all the time, with research showing they job shop on mobile devices from just about everywhere—including bathrooms and bedrooms. Manufacturing companies need to step out of the old-school recruiting mentality and go after candidates on their turf. That means formulating a solid mobile recruiting strategy based on technology that easily adapts to mobile platforms. Think about whether your career site and job application are accessible from an iPhone on a commuter train, for example.
5) Candidates expect more from you.
The candidates you’re looking for are exceptionally bright, so they know you’re courting them. They know you’re working to change your image and step into the next generation. They know they have the upper hand. And that’s why they expect you to do it right. Now more than ever, manufacturing companies have to ramp up their candidate relationship management practices so they can more effectively capture, nurture, and engage with top talent—before the competition.
You’ll need the right technology to help you track candidate profiles and interactions, automate critical communications, intelligently schedule interviews, and even onboard more efficiently. The candidate experience needs to be fluid, fast, and friendly. Are you prepared?
Jobvite is ready to assist you with all of these challenges, so if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send them our way. I know that this year is bringing a lot of change to a lot of industries, and manufacturing is at a critical juncture when it comes to hiring. I’d love to see how we can help you succeed.

Are you paying Mortgage Insurance?
Are you paying Mortgage Insurance? Have you purchased a home and were not able to come up with 20% down to avoid paying mortgage insurance? If so I may be able to offer some insight as to how to potentially lower your payment by removing the MIP (Mortgage Insurance Premium).
You may be asking what is Mortgage Insurance? Well if you were not able to come up with 20% of the purchase price when you bought your home, the lender would have required you have a mortgage insurance premium added to your payment as a form of added insurance on the amount they were lending you. The type of mortgage you have will dictate the method or process to remove the MIP. Below are the two common types you would be dealing with.
If you have an FHA Mortgage The only way to remove the MIP (Mortgage Insurance Premium) is to refinance. FHA mortgages do not automatically remove this for you. It is solely up to you. Many people never give it another thought. They will end up paying far more then they need to throughout their ownership of the home. This is where I can help you.
Contact your realtor (ME: Jackie Mihalchick) to do a local market analysis on your home to see if the value has gone up enough since you purchased it.
If your value has gone up, the next step is to contact your mortgage holder or a lender to see about the cost and process of refinancing. If you do not currently have a lender, I can help you with that as well.
The next part in the refinancing process is deciding on a term and new interest rate.
Once those things are decided upon the lender will order an appraisal. After the Appraisal comes in at value you will sign papers and close on the new loan.
When the loan has been closed you will now just have what is often called a PITI payment (Principle, Interest and Tax Payment) no longer MIPITI payment (Mortgage Insurance Premium, Principle, Interest and Tax Payment).
If you have a Conventional Mortgage With this type of mortgage, you have some options on how to get rid of the Mortgage Insurance Premium. The best is to always call your mortgage holder and see what they suggest. Typically you have a few options.
Below are some simple steps you can take to make the process a bit easier and most efficient.
Contact your Realtor (me) and have a new market analysis on your home completed. This will let you know what your current value is on your home and can save you time and money should you need to go the route of an appraisal.
Do nothing and wait it out. The conventional mortgage allows you to wait it out. Once your (LTV) loan to value reaches 80/20 on the original amortization schedule it will automatically drop off. This is a nice feature of the conventional loan however in the long run you are probably paying the extra premium longer than you have to.
Look at your current property taxes. If the assessed tax value reflects an 80/20 value then you can call the mortgage holder and ask them to remove the MIP portion of the payment.
Call the lender and let them know you would like to remove your MIP. They may require an appraisal only, or that you Refinance (which requires an appraisal). Refinancing does risk losing out on a really low interest rate, so it is always smart to have your lender run the numbers for you.
Hopefully this was a bit insightful. I am not a Mortgage Lender and am not sure of all the requirements, however I think it helps to understand that you do have some control over your payment. Let me know if you would like more information, or if I can connect you with one of the trusted lenders I work with.

Google chief executive officer (CEO) Sundar Pichai during his August 29 meeting with IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad sought two more months from the government to comply with the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) norms to store all the data related to its payment service, Google Pay, in the country.
Google chief executive officer (CEO) Sundar Pichai during his August 29 meeting with IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad sought two more months from the government to comply with the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) norms to store all the data related to its payment service, Google Pay, in the country. The RBI’s deadline ends in October. “Pichai in his meeting with Prasad assured the minister that Google Pay will comply with all the regulations related to digital payment services in India. He, however, sought two months additional time to comply with the RBI notification,” a senior government official said on Monday.
Pichai urged Prasad to allow free flow of data across borders. Pichai said he appreciates the government’s efforts in creating a conducive business environment in India. In a letter to Prasad later, he urged that free flow of data across borders, with a focus on user privacy and security, will encourage start-ups to innovate and expand globally and encourage global companies to contribute to India’s digital economy.
On data localisation, tech companies, including Google, are of the view that storing data within the country could have an adverse socioeconomic impact on innovation, information, technology access and trade. These companies say except national security issues, there should be no general requirement to store data locally. Data localisation requirements could pose an additional burden on service providers. Small and medium-sized enterprises would particularly face the brunt of such requirements.

Anytime people envision "rentals", a large number right away picture modest-sized housing—like townhomes or apartments, which in turn won`t give tenants their own identity. Apartments are not the lone option, though, as you can additionally find many lovely houses for rent in 77289. In fact, there are many noteworthy arguments for renting a house instead of purchasing or opting for a townhome or apartment, and when using the proper methods, you can quickly find the perfect house for rent in 77289 that matches your everyday life and unique identity.

Considering they`re rentals, they make it possible for residents to have much more freedom and flexibility; namely the opportunity to take off after only 6-12 months and not being held responsible for serious maintenance and other fixes. Each lease contract will be different though, so remember to look over yours entirely to examine precisely which obligations are your landlord`s and which belong to you.
Throughout 77289, houses for rent are located primarily in outer-lying locations, instead of the downtown area. Bear in mind, if you are truly set on living downtown, there are always going to be a few exceptions. Houses for rent in 77289 provide a lot more square footage when compared to apartments or condominiums, which means that they are ideal for families with children and groups of multiple housemates. While numerous sorts of housing alternatives have common amenities and may or may not include an outdoor patio area for barbequing, single-family houses sit detached from surrounding properties and possess their own facilities like laundry and perhaps even a pool. Even though they might be a greater distance from the city`s center, houses for rent in 77289 still exist inside of easy travel distance to a good number of places of work, attractions and entertainment destinations.
Utilizing RentFinder, we can help you pinpoint available houses for rent in 77289 that match factors that matter to you personally.

In other words, planning to see it for yourself live in-person, not simply viewing pictures forwarded your way from the realtor or landlord, or even found through the web.
When you go to go see a house, scope out what kind of shape it is kept in. The owner is traditionally the person accountable for its overall care, so it`s present-day state could be a giveaway of the manner in which it will be taken care of via the owner when you will be residing there. Has the front lawn been given attention? Do you observe any walls that are in rough shape or cracking everywhere? Do all of the lamps, lights and appliances switch on? Do all of the doorways going outdoors lock or bolt securely? You`ll typically also want to have a look at the neighborhood and note whether or not the adjacent houses compare well to your expectations. Regardless of the fact that they might have separate owners, their appearances and all around condition can be quite informing about what that location is really like.

(MEMPHIS, TN), February 26, 2018 – Without hope and the skills to cope with the trauma in their lives, children who have witnessed domestic violence are likely to perpetuate the same cycle of violence when they become adults. Camp HOPE America strives to break that cycle. It is the first camping and mentoring program in the country focused on children impacted by domestic violence, and the Family Safety Center in Memphis operates the only Camp HOPE America site in Tennessee.
Camp HOPE America started as a camping program in San Diego, CA but it has now moved on across the country with support from the Verizon Foundation and many other corporate and private donors. In 2017, Camp HOPE America operated in 11 states, including Tennessee, with more than 22 weeks of camp in the summer as well as year-round activities. Camp HOPE America in Tennessee, a six day overnight camp experience, will take place July 22-27, 2018 in Raleigh. Both locally and nationally, the camps are netting positive results.
“Hope is the best predictor of long-term well-being in children exposed to trauma,” says Dr. Chan Hellman. The OU report concluded that an increase in children’s hope was associated with increases in the child’s belief in self, others and their dreams, psychological resilience, and positive attitude toward academics. Similarly, higher resilience is positively associated with academic self-perception, academic goals, motivation, and self-regulation.
Camp HOPE America in Memphis is offered to children of Family Safety Center clients. The Family Safety Center is part of a national alliance of Family Justice Centers and Multi-Agency Centers serving victims of domestic violence under the Alliance for HOPE International umbrella.
“Locally, our campers last year reflected the same positive improvements stated in the national report,” says Olliette Murry Drobot, executive director of Family Safety Center. “This program has a good track record in those states that have operated the camps for several years. We hope to expand the Memphis program this summer. We have some funding from Verizon but we are looking for individual donors and local businesses to step up. It is a good investment in the future of our community,” says Murry-Drobot.
The national research report is attached and more information can be found at www.camphopeamerica.org/outcomes/. For information about Camp HOPE America in Memphis visit familysafetycenter.org/camp-hope/.
About Family Safety Center: Founded in 2011, the FSC co-locates domestic violence services in Memphis and Shelby County in order to improve outcomes for victims. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Department, Memphis Police, the District Attorney, and Memphis Legal Services have a fulltime presence at FSC. This innovative approach brings together the resources necessary to help victims find safety, justice, and hope. FSC navigators work closely with victims connecting them to appropriate services either at the Center or at partner agencies in the community.

Your offer is the center of your sales piece, which should never simply be an advertisement for your company. Direct mail is capable of so much more than getting your company name out there.
So how do you create a sales piece that really sells? Step one is to avoid focusing on the features of the product or service -- how shiny it is, how cool it looks, or what that red button does.
You love all those features and you put a lot of effort into building them in, but the fact is people don’t buy features, they buy benefits -- whiter teeth, a slimmer waist, more money. This goes for whether you’re mailing to consumers (B2C) or other businesses (B2B).
Let’s say you’ve developed a new piece of exercise equipment. You spent a fortune on research and development to get the gear system just right. You could go on for pages about all these exciting (to you) technical details, but put those in the sales piece and you’ll turn it into a snooze fest.
Instead, talk about how prospects will enjoy their workout so much, they’ll look forward to it each day, and they’ll lose twice as much weight in half the time and all their friends will ask them what their secret is.
Let’s be honest. Most people don’t care about how much work you put into designing the product. They want to know how your product or service will benefit them. So you have to paint a very clear picture of how much better their lives will be as a result of buying what you’re selling.
2. Minimize perceived risk. Purchasing from a direct-mail solicitation may cause a bit of uncertainty for some -- or at least that’s the way it may appear to potential buyers. The problem is perceived risk, and it can make a promising sale simply disappear. You can reduce or eliminate the perceived risk by taking it on your own shoulders.
One way, of course, is to offer a guarantee. Most buyers expect a guarantee period of 30, 60 or 90 days. But if you extend your guarantee even longer, you’ll find that it works even better.
Another option is to use risk reversal, where you take on the risk and the customer feels risk-free in buying your product.
For example, if you sell a diet system or supplement, you could let people begin participating in the weight-loss program at no cost, and they only pay you after they've lost 10 pounds. If your sales material made that point clear, it would totally eliminate the risk from the customers' point of view.
Of course, with offers like this, you have to be careful to only deal with people who are serious.
3. Testimonials. If you’re like me, you’ve become addicted to reading people’s comments before buying anything on Amazon. We want validation that we’re making the right decision, and what could be more sincere than the spontaneous assessments of people who have already bought and used the product?
One of the reasons testimonials can be more effective than you simply talking up your own business is that they seem more authentic, and therefore trustworthy.
If prospects know nothing about you, they require a good deal of selling on your part to convince them that you deserve their business. Testimonials can be an important part of that sales process by making prospects feel more at home with you.
Use testimonials in all your written sales materials. If you have video testimonials, put them on your website, and extract quotes to use in your written materials.
Use a variety of testimonials from different customers and clients, and keep updating them. If you use the same testimonial for 20 years, it may look as though that’s your only testimonial. In general, the more testimonials you have, and the more you change them out, the more it looks like you’re a growing company that is continuing to get new satisfied customers.
Bonus! Perceived value. Have you ever wondered if it’s better to give a discount based on the dollar-amount off the usual price (for example, $50 off) or a percentage off (30 percent off)? Which gets a better response?
A 2008 study conducted by online retailer Evo analyzed the promotions with its existing customers using an A/B split-email campaign. The ads were the same except that one offered 15 percent off the total sale, while the other offered $50 off.
The results of the test were quite clear. The $50 off coupon generated 170 percent more revenue than the 15 percent off coupon, and its conversion rate was 72 percent higher. The authors of the study believed the $50 off coupon had a higher perceived value. They also concluded that the $50 off did better because it didn’t require buyers to do any math. Customers saw immediately what their discount was.
A great way of testing if a dollar or percentage discount is right for you is with A/B testing. An A/B split on a small segment of your list will help you determine which offer to use when you roll out to a larger mailing.
