Beauty, Laser & Wellness Center Can Help Reveal a ‘New You’

Newport Beach, California (PRWEB) January 26, 2012

January is traditionally the time for new year’s resolutions, and Dr. Monica Bonakdar of the Beauty, Laser & Wellness Center wants to help men and women reach their goals that involve enhancing the appearance of their skin. She offers tips on Newport Beach med spa and skin rejuvenation treatments.

“Because of the beautiful weather that we have in Southern California, correcting sun damage is No. 1 on many of my patients’ wish lists,” Dr. Bonakdar says. “They’ve spent too much time without sunblock and hats, and now they’re paying the price. They have that leathery skin that makes them appear much older than they are.

“When they ask me about treatment options for skin care in Newport Beach, I often suggest laser therapy. Laser treatments can resurface the skin to remove sun spots and replace that leathery look with evenly toned and textured skin.”

Dr. Bonakdar says the benefits of these treatments can be maintained by following her No. 1 tip for beautiful skin of any age: “Minimize direct exposure to the sun. Always using sunscreen and wearing a hat is the best way to protect your skin’s appearance, and its health.”

Another common new year’s resolution is: Do something about those wrinkles and facial lines.

“I have people come in who have spent so much money on over-the-counter lotions, potions and creams that claim to remove wrinkles,” Dr. Bonakdar says. “In general, those drugstore remedies don’t live up to their marketing promises.”

She says the best solutions are usually professional skin rejuvenation treatments such as injectable fillers and BOTOX® Cosmetic. Newport Beach patients with crow’s feet and frown lines typically can benefit most from BOTOX Cosmetic.

“For those with facial creases, such as smile lines and hollows under the cheeks, I usually recommend an injectable filler such as Artefill® or JUVÉDERM®,” Dr. Bonakdar says.

Beauty, Laser & Wellness Center offers a free Beauty Social on the second Thursday of each month for people who are interested in learning more about how Dr. Bonakdar can help them enhance their appearance. These gatherings provide a relaxed introduction to the doctor and her staff, as well as information about the many treatments they offer.

The Beauty, Laser & Wellness Center (http://www.believeinagelessbeauty.com) is an Orange County skin care practice headed by Dr. Monica Bonakdar, who has more than 15 years of experience with an emphasis on cosmetic dermatology. She is currently a Platinum Plus Provider of BOTOX® Cosmetic, an Allergan Medical Facial Aesthetics Speaker, a National Trainer of Artefill®. She completed her medical education at University of California Irvine and her postgraduate training at University of California Los Angeles. Dr. Bonakdar performs a number of nonsurgical procedures such as Fraxel® Laser Skin Rejuvenation and Injectable Liquid Facelifts. Men and women come to her for the personal attention they receive, the advanced technology she uses and the inviting environment she has created.

MyTownInsurance.com Unveils the Big TOMA Disconnect in Insurance Internet Marketing

Ft Lauderdale FL (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

It is no exaggeration to say that most major sporting events are underwritten by insurance companies. Top of Mind Awareness or TOMA is serious and expensive business within the industry, and for good reason. It is not unusual for an insurance carrier to have an annual advertising budget in excess of 750 million dollars, most of which is ear marked for TOMA ads. Unfortunately there is a big disconnect between a company’s marketing efforts and what consumers actual do when it’s time to shop for insurance.

It’s an accepted industry statistic that more than 75% of all insurance consumers begin their search for insurance on-line. It’s also a fact that people will, more often than not, comparison shop whenever they are in need of purchasing insurance. Comparison shopping has proven to be even more common in these hard economic times.

Here is the Big Disconnect:

Since the majority of all insurance products, i.e. home, car, life, health and business are produced by the captive and independent agency distribution channels, the current portfolio of on-line multi-rating and lead generation consumer portals fail to effectively leverage an insurance company’s TOMA ad dollars. They also violate the two basic rules of insurance marketing 101, which are:

1.     Give consumers exactly what they want.

2.     Do it at the lowest over head to the agent and insurance company.

The Underlying Cause of the Big TOMA Disconnect:

The majority of on-line nationwide consumer portals are owned and controlled by leads vendors. By and of itself that isn’t bad, it’s how they typically function is the problem. Since most leads vendors will sell a lead to multiple agents at an average rate of $ 15 to $ 30 a lead, this creates a race to the unknowing consumer by the agents to sell the account. Understandably this results in the consumer being “hounded” by uninvited sales calls, sometimes for weeks, from agents representing their respective companies.    As a result consumers end up feeling harassed and out of control of the on-line shopping experience. The whole process is also a total waste of time and money for the agents. The end result is a bad experience for the consumer and missed sales opportunities to the agent and their respective carriers. In summary the insurance company’s TOMA ad dollars end up being less effective at the most critical time in the sales process.    

The Solution to the Big TOMA Disconnect:

The solution is simple; follow the two basic rules of insurance marketing 101. The question is how? Here’s what we suggest:

Rule 1: Give consumers exactly what they want.

So what does the on-line shopper want when comparative shopping for insurance? In a word, control. They simply want to choose who they send their quote information to. They don’t want to have to submit the information more than once, and they don’t want to get hounded by uninvited sales calls. Consumers understand that they will need to have some kind of conversation with each of their selected agents before a policy can be accurately quoted and issued. In fact the agent’s follow up calls are expected and welcomed. It just boils down to the ability for consumers to control the process.

Rule 2: Do it at the lowest over head to the agent and insurance company.

There has to be a more cost effective way to leverage TOMA ad dollars and competing on line for business other than using conventional leads vendors and traditional ad word campaigns. Now there is.

Introducing MyTownInsurance.com by IAIMS Inc.…………The Cure to the Big TOMA Disconnect:    

On January 23rd on-line shopping for insurance became a more pleasant and empowering experience for consumers with MyTownInsurance.com.

Article by Dennis Leech

Welcoming a brand new baby into the family is always an exciting event and gives one the chance to shop for baby gifts and that is always fun. A baby shower is the initial place you welcome the new baby into the family and you want to be unique with your gift. Lots of people will buy quilts or bath sets but you might want to give a gift that no one else has thought of.

With a customized gift basket you can include anything you like. Pick a basket that can be reused for another purpose like a low shallow wicker basket that can be kept near the changing table filled with supplies. You can add bath towels, clothes, bath products or grooming aids. How about a tiny little rubber duck or bath toys.

A gift nobody else will think of is a sonogram frame to treasure that first look at the baby. You are able to put in a little title towards the bottom like, sneak peak or love at first sight. This thoughtful gift will surprise the brand new parents and provide them their first picture for the nursery before the baby arrives.

How about a gift for the mom to be, a pair of fluffy personalized slippers. She can pack these away for the trip to the hospital. When the baby arrives she will have these special slippers to warm her feet. Once you learn the gender of the baby you could have them monogrammed with It’s a Boy or It’s a Girl and if you don’t you can have them say New Mom.

For those stroller rides a strollometer is a wireless speedometer/odometer that attaches on the stroller to assist the new mom get back in shape fast. It records just how long the walks are are if the new mom is a jogger how quickly she is moving. It gives taking the baby for a walk a brand new meaning and is good for both the baby and also the new mom.

Question by : How do I get downloaded music to go directly to my Itunes from Ares?
I had Limewire but of course they got sued, and when I had Limewire, every time a song finished downloading it would go straight to my Itune library.
Now I have Ares and it doesn’t do that, so i was wondering if you can like change a setting maybe?
And please dont say ” just drag and drop it” cause you cant with Ares.

Best answer:

Answer by Colanth
You can’t (drag and drop) with Ares, you can with Windows, and that’s what people mean.

But the easy way is to tell Ares to download to the folder iTunes is looking in. Or tell iTunes to look in the folder Ares is downloading to. They both have to use the same folder.

Give your answer to this question below!

Seasoned Charleston, SC Real Estate Professional and Residential Appraiser Predicts Market Upswing in 2012

Charleston SC Real Estate – 2011

Charleston, S.C. (PRWEB) January 19, 2012

With dual roles as a Buyer Representative for Charleston Preferred Properties and an active residential real estate appraiser, Bart Jackson spends the vast majority of his days examining the Charleston, SC real estate market. According to this seasoned professional, there are many indicators in place that suggest the Charleston market is heading towards recovery.

“I really think 2012 is shaping up to be a year of true market stabilization for the Charleston area,” says Jackson. “It is my belief that we will look back and say that 2010 and 2011 were the bottom for the Charleston real estate market.”

For the past three years, inventory in Charleston has steadily declined and activity has shown steady increases. In 2011, the Charleston region saw the highest number of single-family home sales since 2007.

“Prices have declined to the point where buyers appear to be getting comfortable with real estate again,” Jackson notes. “There is still concern about what the future holds for prices and values, but the outright fear of real estate seems to have subsided.”

Among the indicators in 2011 that Jackson points to to support his claim are: A continued, but stabilizing, decrease in median sales price; a continued increase in sales activity; a continued decrease in inventory; an increase in the number of businesses and people moving into the Charleston region; a notable reemergence of new construction in several areas; a decline in foreclosures; an increase in rents; continued low mortgage rates; and an increase in consumer confidence. According to Jackson, these trends all suggest that the market is headed towards recovery.

“There does remain a looming concern about a shadow inventory of foreclosure properties that will be released into the market over the first half of 2012, but it is uncertain how many of those properties are allocated specifically to the Charleston area,” Jackson says. “It is also uncertain exactly how banks will liquidate this inventory.”

There has been a national discussion regarding the possibility of large banks packaging foreclosure properties and selling them in bulk to investors in lieu of liquidating them individually via local real estate agencies. Bank of America is even reported to be considering a program to rent homes back to the borrower after foreclosure to try and create a scenario that helps both parties.

Jackson has observed an increasing number of buyers who are actively seeking aggressively priced properties. And with list prices in some Charleston submarkets showing a distinct increase throughout 2011, an increasing number of buyers have begun to act.

“In one example from 2011, I helped some clients place an offer on a bank-owned property in Mount Pleasant, and their offer ended up being among five received. Another client was so concerned about competing buyers on a specific property, that as soon as it was foreclosed on I began tracking the property within the bank so that my client could be the first to make an offer,” Jackson says.

Indeed, Jackson believes many of the low offers accepted by banks for foreclosures in certain Charleston subdivisions in recent years would not be accepted today.

“If anything, I think any shadow inventory of foreclosure properties in 2012 should be looked at as an opportunity for buyers who want to take advantage of any remaining attractive pricing in this unique down market. I am currently advising clients to have their financing in place and be ready to act quickly when the right priced distressed property comes to market,” says Jackson.

Jackson also points to national research conducted by Eli Beracha of East Carolina University and Dr. Ken H. Johnson of Florida International University to determine which makes more sense financially: To rent or own a home. Their findings indicate that drivers appear to be in place that favor homeownership over renting in the near term future. According to both professors, the time to buy is now.

“To me, this research also indicates that in 2012 we will likely see more investors add income producing residential properties to their portfolios as rents continue to rise and prices maintain at an attractive level,” says Jackson. “There are still many properties in Charleston that – with today’s sales prices and low mortgage rates – will produce immediate cash flow with 5%-10% return on investment. That was unheard of during the height of the market.”

While there are still some really hard hit areas around the country that will require additional time to rebound and recover, Jackson points out that all real estate is local.

“Just because it’s raining in Detroit doesn’t mean it can’t be sunny and warm in Charleston at the same time,” he says. “On a local level, the Charleston area appears to be regaining a measure of normalcy.”

New Video From ChiroBullets.com Reveals How to Make a Daily Online Newsletter for Chiropractic Patients & Why It Is An Effective Chiropractic Marketing Strategy

Chiropractic Marketing Consultant Ben Cummings

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) January 19, 2012

Ben Cummings is founder of Practice Building Center, the web’s largest chiropractic marketing forum and training site containing over 300 tutorial videos and downloads.

In his popular chiropractic marketing blog, ChiroBullets.com, Ben Cummings has just released an article containing a detailed video tutorial teaching chiropractors how to create a daily online newsletter.

Chiropractors can access the new video tutorial here:

http://blog.practicebuildingcenter.com/how-to-create-a-daily-online-newsletter-for-patients/

In the latest edition of ChiroBullets.com, Ben Cummings has tackled the subject of online newsletter creation and discusses how valuable it can be for chiropractic marketers.

What is a daily online newsletter? “Today’s patients are looking for their doctor to be a leading voice, an expert, in their community,” says Ben Cummings.

“When a chiropractor creates an online newsletter that contains useful health news and daily articles, this is very impressive to patients as well as prospective patients,” says Ben.

The daily newsletter for chiropractic patients that Ben Cummings recommends is a “curation blog.” Ben asserts that a curation blog is easy to set up and manage since it aggregates information and articles that have already been written.

In his new blog article, Ben details how to create one of these curation blogs. “They cost nothing to start and I even share a free host that you can use plus the setup takes less than 10 minutes,” says Ben. “This is what I show on the video tutorial that I made.”

Ben says that once you set up your curation blog, it will run on its own and will generate high quality content without the need for a chiropractors input.

How should a chiropractor promote the online newsletter that they create? After the setup of the daily newsletter, promotion of the blog can be as simple as a signature at the bottom of all your outbound emails and a Facebook Fan page to drive new readers to your site. An additional step for those who are interested in fully maximizing traffic to their new curation site, is to also make use use Twitter and email to proactively drive patients and leads to the site.

The chiropractic marketing strategies outlined in the newest blog entry from Ben Cummings “are free to utilize but highly effective” says Ben. Mr. Cummings used this strategy to create a sample daily newsletter and shows the process on a video on the blog.

Where can a chiropractor learn more? Chiropractors can subscribe to ChiroBullets for free. They should visit Ben’s chiropractic marketing blog at ChiroBullets.com. Ben says, “There is no cost to participate in the excellent articles and tutorials being shared on the ChiroBullets.com blog. Chiropractors will be impressed by the quality of our tutorials.”

Ben thinks this is important information for chiropractors, and asks chiropractors to Like his Page on Facebook to learn exclusive tips and tricks. “I’d appreciate your help in spreading the word amongst chiropractors,” says Ben Cummings.

Without the C.L.A.S.S. Act in Effect, Who Should Californians Turn to for Long Term Care insurance Information? The California Partnership of Long Term Care

Source: California Partnership of Long Term Care

Beaumont, California (PRWEB) January 17, 2012

The California Partnership for Long Term Care is an innovative program established in 1994 and is endorsed by the California Medical Association, California Commission on Aging and the California Department of Health Care Services. The Partnership was designed to help Californians navigate long term care issues, but the state and CPLTC do not sell LTC insurance policies personally. They cooperate with a select number of private insurance companies which have met special standards set by the Partnership and the state to offer high quality insurance policies that uniquely fit the buyer’s needs. Each policy is developed to protect the buyer and their families from the ravaging costs and hardships that are often associated with long term care.

“Two out of three Californians will need long term care.” (Source: California Partnership of Long Term Care. “Are You Ready?: Tackling Long-Term Care.” 2012) A buyer of a ltc policy has many choices when opting for a long term care insurance policy, such as the length of coverage desired (from 1 year to a lifetime), amount of coverage, and which policy they see fit. Two types of long term care partnership policies include comprehensive or facility-only. A comprehensive policy covers care in a facility and/or care received at home, or just in the facility. A facility-only policy covers care in a facility, such as a nursing home or a residential care facility. “Nursing home costs in California average about $ 230 a day in 2010. Of those who enter a nursing home, 44% will remain longer than five years.” (Source: A Long-Term Solution to a Medicaid Problem, National Center for Policy Analysis, Nov. 17, 1995)

As a health care provider for the past 20 years, Robert Cardona Long Term Care Insurance Solutions Inc. would be honored to serve as the agent of choice for the consideration of the appropriate LTC product to meet every individual’s needs. It is Robert Cardona LTC Insurance Solutions Inc.’s sincere desire to assist clients in planning for in-home custodial/ hospice care in accordance with the philosophy of occupational therapy and to promote self-esteem through emotional and physical well being throughout all of the human experience.
