Pinterest: Can it drive your business? | Katonah Homes

Image
Is EVERYONE a photographer? Pinterest ! It’s the latest shooting star in the social world, and if you don’t know, it’s a place to post and share photos. REALLY GOOD photos. It’s basically Twitter if you throw out 90% of the users and keep only the serious photogs, then instead of a stream of text, display a wall of pics. There’s only one problem: Have you seen the web recently? There’s a lot of pinterest, e-commerce, e-commerce marketing, online marketing, marketing analytics, pinterest e-commerce, pinterest marketing, social sharing, social marketing, social commerce, social trackingad photography and worse Photoshop, and we’ve accepted it.

Technology Helps Your Business Be More Visual | Pound Ridge Homes

Image
Small Business owners can use cool new visual technology tools to showcase their business. My first camera was an AGFA 35 which at that time was a leading edge “film camera”. As a kid I remember the thrill of going to a camera store to buy the camera with my dad and my brother. How times have changed! Little did I know that my phone would now be my camera of choice. I have a Samsung Galaxy S 2 and it takes 8MP pictures and uploads them in real-time to various social networks. We are so lucky that the process of taking a visual picture of the business from “click to share” has become a very easy process. Your customers are doing it. See all the pictures on Flickr for the search term Whole Foods . Also look at the results for a Google Image search for Whole Foods Now think about all the times you had a great happy moment in your business -an arrival of a new product, a happy customer, a colorful holiday display, anything that conjures up a image in your mind.

Maximize your Building Envelope’s Energy Efficiency with Insulation | Green Bedford Hills Realtor

Image
  Advice provided by: David M. Pratt, As traditional energy sources become more scarce and costly, people are scrambling to develop new sources of energy that are plentiful in the most cost effective way. What often gets lost in the shuffle is the “greenest” form of energy of all – the energy that is never used. The environmentalist as well as the economist inside you will agree that saving energy is always the best decision. The very first place to look for energy conservation measures, or ECMs, is your building envelope. The building envelope encompasses a facility’s walls, windows, doors, roof and floor – basically anything that separates the inside from the outside.

Title insurance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Bedford Hills NY Homes

It is meant to protect an owner's or a lender's financial interest in real property against loss due to title defects, liens or other matters. It will defend against a lawsuit attacking the title as it is insured, or reimburse the insured for the actual monetary loss incurred, up to the dollar amount of insurance provided by the policy. The first title insurance company, the Law Property Assurance and Trust Society, was formed in Pennsylvania in 1853.
