If a Skunk Saunters Through Your Yard You Probably Have Grubs

Posted by nunum on 8th June 2010

Grubs may be harmless to humans, but they can be destructive to your lawns. No need to worry though because there are visible signs that will warn you when grubs start to populate your beautiful garden. Do not be scared of grubs because they can easily be sloughed off. The most important thing for you to do is to monitor your lawn for unusual scenarios so that you will know exactly when to get rid of your uninvited guests.

So where do grubs come from anyway? It is beneficial for you to learn the life cycle of these insects so you can better determine the season of the year in which grubs breed or reproduce in great numbers and stop them dead in their tracks.

Grubs are whitish in color, with dark, yellowish-brown heads and have three pairs of legs. They usually grow from 1 centimeter to 3 centimeters long and they are the larval stage of various insects such as Japanese Beetles, European Chafers or June Bugs. White grubs are labeled as June Bugs because they surface from the pupal stage or from their cocoons in the soil in the latter part of the month of June. As adult bugs, they feast on caducous plants and lay their eggs in the soil until they cease living in about the middle of the August.

The eggs of the adult beetles then hatch into small grubs near the end of July until the beginning part of September. At their beginning stages, grubs feed on the roots of grass and other plants and during the fall season, they increasingly grow larger in size. That is when grubs become destructive to your lawn and if not controlled or eliminated, they will become an infestation in your garden. You will not easily spot them at first because they hide about 12 inches beneath the soil surface to protect themselves from the snowy winter.

What is the most obvious sign for you to watch out for to determine if your garden is ravaged by terrible grubs? When you see skunks sauntering through your yard, then you definitely have grubs underneath your garden. Raccoons may also show up in your lawn to hunt for grubs so keep an eye out for them. As soon as you see these creatures loitering around your garden, then make the necessary call to your pest control experts. Get their advice and educate yourself of their lawn treatment programs such as chemical, biological and organic lawn maintenance programs.

If you cannot control the spread of grubs in your garden, contact your local pest control agency expeditiously to assist you in getting rid of your grub problems. Always be on the lookout for critters in your lawn so that you can make a determination whether or not your garden is in danger from grubs attack. Be persistent in controlling these bugs so your garden will remain radiant throughout the efflorescence season.

Asking For a Referral is Easy With a Reward Marketing Program

Posted by nunum on 5th June 2010

The one constant in marketing for most Chiropreneurs is referrals. It still ranks as the number one, best way, to grow a practice. And, yet, when I audit a practice, the actual referral rate is often very low and in many cases is not number one in terms of new patient production. Most practitioners actually receive less than one referral per patient, per year.

The changing landscape of broadcast marketing reveals that Prospex are more inclined to listen and ask the advice of their peers when it comes to determining their brand of chiropractic. In other words, the more people who are familiar with your brand of chiropractic, the more referrals you can expect from patients and non-patients alike.

In recent years with the advancement of social media marketing, word-of-mouth has become even more important, because your Patients don’t just tell a few people about a positive or bad experience, they often tell thousands if not millions in the click of a key.

This decade is coming to a close and it’s a good time to review your own referral marketing initiative. Boost your referral performance by answering this question: Are you rewarding patients and centers of influences for telling others about you?

Referrals can be the most powerful form of marketing and it’s also the least expensive. Your referrals have more of an impact than any other marketing strategy or advertisement. But, you must have a plan. A structured approached. A system.

What does a referral mean to your practice? It’s a warm Prospex with an interest in your brand of chiropractic. Don’t dismiss the value of those referral Prospex and be sure to reward those that send them your way… you’ll be glad you did.

Ah, you confront… “Lawton, it is illegal to reward people for referrals.” And, mostly you are right. Not in every state, but most. However, that only applies when the inducement is overt and direct.

You can reward patients for many reasons… not directly tied to a referral, but, one that builds your relationship with the patient and is the conduit for a solid GIVE2GET marketing strategy.

You could reward patients with points for specific activities, i.e., attending workshops or events. You could reward patients with points on product or ancillary services. You could reward patients with points for video testimonial. You could have drawings for points! Wear branded apparel and stop by the office for points! Points for a wellness house party! I could go on and on, but, you get the picture. The more the patient interacts with you and is rewarded, the more likely they are to refer. It’s just plain, ordinary human condition. It’s the Law of Reciprocity at work.

Of course, sending a thank you card is a nice touch for a specific referral. (Just don’t make it a Hallmark card in California… they think the card is an inducement because of its retail value!) Better to send your own branded note card anyway.

Focus your marketing on building relationships and your referral rate will increase. Have a benchmark established to see if your marketing system is working. A benchmark of THREE referrals, each year, from each patient is a recommended target!

Now do you see why building relationships and internal marketing are important to your success? Yes or yes?

The Plug-In Profit Site Affiliate Internet Marketing Program

Posted by nunum on 3rd June 2010

Plug-In Profit Site (PIPS) has been around for some time now. I think that it could be used as a model of a program that is the perfect place for someone new to the industry to start out.

The reason is that as an affiliate internet marketing program goes, PIPS has all of the pieces of the puzzle all put together for you. When you are just starting out, sure you can learn about the various components of an internet marketing program.

However, can you say that you know how to associate everything and can it all work together seamlessly? I wish the answer was always yes. From my own experience and that of others who have shared with me, I can tell you the answer is more often no.

I will note here the various reasons that the Plug-In Profit Site is a premier affiliate internet marketing program.

To start with, most affiliate programs give you a free affiliate sales page and some paltry documentation (FAQs) to lead you in the right direction on what you need to do to promote the affiliate program.

Usually you are not allowed to change this affiliate page at all – you do not have either access or permission to alter it in any way – not even for critical search engine optimization.

PIPS will build you your own fully customizable website free, that is embedded with your own IDs for 5 to 6 core affiliate programs. You can then add other programs of your choice, make the site unique in content, and change the look.

In addition to the website, you receive a lengthy sales page, also embedded with your own IDs for the core affiliate internet marketing programs.

Both the website and the sales page have web forms which allow your visitors to opt-in to a free follow-up newsletter.

Your membership in PIPS includes a free auto responder account pre-loaded with a 400 day series of follow-up newsletters.

Last but not least, members of this superior internet marketing program have access to online internet marketing training and videos, a member support forum, and other free bonuses.

It is hard to believe that PIPS really is a free internet marketing program. The only requirement to have all of the above, is what would be required for any website – to register a domain name (unique address for your site) and a Host4Profit hosting account (hosting is required for any website).

Posted by nunum on 27th May 2010

Here are some funeral program ideas for the memorial service. Making funeral program designs might not necessarily seem as difficult as one may imagine, especially if you are creating a program under a limited time. Typically the funeral or memorial service is normally within just a seven days connected with the loss of life and primarily allots for roughly seven days with organizing and also making preparations for the funeral service.

Because the funeral service program is likely to be valued and saved for months or even years immediately following the service, this is an essential memorial treasure intended for family members, close friends, and associates. The style may perhaps change dependent upon your loved one’s personality, age, gender, and most desired things in everyday living.

A religious or Christian themed design can display a cross, heaven’s entrance, angels or saints. Waterscape themes might consists of a design and style with waterfalls, seashores, sea, or even water. The Infants or Youth themes or templates generally include brighter hues and added whimsical layouts such as toys and games, pets, or perhaps shapes.

Outdoor Landscapes are generally among the preferred for a charming landscapes background which may be a striking mountain landscape to a blooming meadow.

Homemade Coupons Template – How to Make a Homemade Coupons Template

Posted by nunum on 24th May 2010

What exactly is a coupon template and how is it beneficial to you and I? A coupon template is a compilation of coupons which can be used to redeem something as listed in the coupons and it can be given as a gift as a novelty item or lets say you are helping out with a charity bake sale or something alike, a coupon template comes in handy. So how does one make these homemade coupons template?

The first step is to create these coupons by either (a) Designing them with design software on your computer or printing them yourself, or (b) by drawing these coupons by hand to give it that personal and more intimate touch. These coupons can be about whatever you wish to include. For example, coupons for a charity bake sale may include coupons which can be bought with cash as a method of payment during the bake sale, or as a novelty gift, these coupons can be funny or romantic with redeemable “gifts” Such as a movie night out, a free spa treat or a free dinner at your favorite sushi restaurant. Whichever method you pick, make sure to put in some hard work into making these coupons to ensure quality. Keep in mind that if you do use design software, remember to save the template file to be able to print the same coupon as and when you need it again. You can also use a word program; find a suitable font like “Comic Sans” For a more playful look or “Times New Roman” For a more formal one. Divide the page into half by making sure its landscape view and then insert a page break. To make these coupons, insert text boxes of the same rectangular size and type away.

The next step is to print the coupons in high quality. This can be done by either printing at home or by bringing it to a shop. After printing, draw some “cut” lines in between each coupon with a ruler and a pen as to give it a more professional touch to it and to guide you while cutting these coupons.

Design yourself a cover for the coupon book, perhaps with a title in a larger font in bold letters such as “Coupons for you”. Print these covers on either card or colored paper to distinguish it from the coupons and to act as a protective cover. Bind the coupons and the cover by either stapling it, which is definitely the faster and easier option or by using duct tape and taping the ends of the coupons together, cutting the extra tape off with a pair of scissors. These coupons are ready to be used and to be distributed.

See how easy it is to make a homemade coupons template? Saves money and makes as a great addition for an array of events!

Mindfulness and Money: Monkeying Around

Posted by nunum on 20th May 2010

Kasia is a talented landscape designer who speaks several languages, and when she jokes about being a “Polish princess” it’s because she actually has the pedigree to support that claim.

That’s not why she’s amazing. What’s remarkable about Kasia is her ability to play with words in a creative way.

You don’t have to speak five languages in order to play with words, but I’m guessing that playing with words is pretty helpful when you’re trying to learn five languages! So, let’s take a page from Kasia’s multilingual notebook and see how she plays with one particular word in English.

The word? Money.

Now, Kasia could rattle off the appropriate word for “money” in more than five languages if asked, but what she focuses on is tweaking that word so that it loses whatever negativity, scariness, or other baggage it might have for her.

So, whenever she hears or says the word “money” she substitutes it in her own head with the word “monkeys”–and watches how that completely shifts the tone.

Think about it. What if whenever you said, “I don’t have enough money for that” you instead said, “I don’t have enough monkeys for that”?

Or how about this: “counting money” or “saving money” becomes “counting monkeys” or “saving monkeys” instead.

Suddenly, those retirement plans and college savings programs don’t seem so scary. In fact, they start to sound kind of fun and interesting.

Now, I’m not saying you can give up on the concept of money altogether and just joke around about the idea of financial security.

No, no, no. I’m saying that you can use this quirky little mindfulness technique to help you lighten up about an area that may cause a great

deal of stress or frustration for you
.

Money can be a pretty malleable concept, and depending on how we were raised (and a whole bunch of other factors), we develop our own sense of its value, importance, purpose, and possibilities.

Substituting the word “monkey” for “money” allows us to become more aware of the number of times per day we hear, see, or say that word, and it helps us zero in on the physical and psychological responses we may have as it triggers our own particular reaction.

Listen as you and others say the following phrases:

“If only I had enough monkeys for that!”

“I’m saving my monkeys to buy _____.”

“I need to make more monkeys.”

“When I have enough monkeys, I’ll live the life of my dreams.”

“It seems like I’m constantly running out of monkeys.”

“My husband and I are always fighting about monkeys.”

and my personal favorite:

“Monkeys don’t grow on trees, you know.”

I once spent a winter studying primates at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. I stood outside in the snow for hours making little notes about the Japanese snow monkeys I was observing. I became quite attached to them by simply watching them interact with each other.

They had their grouchy days, just like humans, but overall, they were lighthearted and playful even in their old age. And their demeanor could shift dramatically when one of them would initiate play–suddenly, there was much chasing and chattering before they all settled down again for a group grooming session.

In other words, things were unpredictable, but even during chaotic moments, they seemed to recognize that soon enough, they’d be hunkered down together quite calmly.

Money can be like that. You try hard to control it, but whether you invest in the stock market, real estate, college tuition, or orthodontia, there are times when you wonder why you bother at all. Just when you think things are going smoothly, something comes along and zaps a huge chunk out of your bank account.

Start viewing money management as monkey management, and you’ll begin to feel lighter about the whole process of saving and spending. There are benefits to controlling your finances, no doubt about it. But there are also advantages to seeing money as an unpredictable and even amusing character that sparks greater mindfulness and helps us see what matters most.

Try a little monkey mindfulness whenever you write checks or make a deposit. Picture them having a swingin’ good time in your bank account, and grin a little even as they leave the compound.

There will be others climbing in soon enough.
