4 Remarketing Tips That Will Help You Stay on Your Customers' Minds
Out of sight, out of mind. Sure, you've heard the saying but have you ever considered just how important it is to get seen and re-seen in a digital world that's flooded with messages, memes and madness?
That's why remarketing is so powerful – it allows you to reach users who have already interacted with your brand and remind them of your mighty presence.
Never lose sight of the importance of delivering contextually relevant messages to the right people at the right time. It never lets users forget your brand, your message…what you stand for.
And you'll be first in mind when that user finally does decide to make a purchase. Below we list the 4 most important remarketing tips that help your brand stay in-sight, on mind and bang-on-message.
Why Does Remarketing Matter? (Stats):
- One in five marketers now has a dedicated budget for remarketing (DIGIDAY).
- Thirty percent of consumers have a positive or very positive reaction to retargeted ads, vs. 11 percent who feel negatively about them (comScore).
- The average click-through rate for display ads is 0.07 percent, and the average click-through for retargeted ads is about 0.7 percent (DIGIDAY).
- CPY company, Kimberly-Clark received 50 to 60% higher conversion rates among customers who have been retargeted (DIGIDAY).
1. Segment Your Audience Already
Let's get this straight from the outset – all of your website visitors are not the same. So stop showing every visitor the same ads. With remarketing it is absolutely essential to segment your audience in order to identify and understand the different intent and behaviour of the users on your site. Create your segments based on your digital marketing objectives, business goals and which part of the buyer funnel your visitors fall into.
Top Segmentation Tips to Master:
- Segment sections of your website with the highest traffic (at least 5,000 cookied visitors) to ensure you maximise your return on investment.
- To ensure a new segmentation list doesn't overlap exclude people who are already being targeted on other lists.
- Recency is an extremely important factor when segmenting lists – for example, users who have visited your site and have viewed your product a few hours ago are significantly more likely to convert than those who visited 2 weeks prior.
- Match 'like' with 'like' – for example, if a customer has visited your blog you can then retarget them with gated content-heavy pieces like whitepapers and webinars.
2. Create Compelling & Clickable Messages
Whether you're remarketing on Facebook, Twitter or the Google Display Network you'll only have a small amount of space on your banner ad to make a big impact. The best remarketing campaigns, therefore, adopt a minimalist design with one strong visual and one sharp message. Your call to action has to work hard to stand out in such a small space so it's essential that you choose the right verb from the outset – it must be compelling, clear and concise.
You will need to pay equal attention to your visual – focus on creating a beautiful and powerful design that stands out and captures your user's immediate attention. Simplicity and size are key so think bold colours, large clickable buttons and a strong and clear image that catches the unsuspecting eye. Don't forget to make your creative completely contextual and relevant to your customer's experience – that means that your retargeted messages should make sense from your user's first visit.
3. Maximise the Upsell Opportunity
So your remarketing efforts have paid off and you have landed a conversion? That's great – congratulations but your "good luck" doesn't have to stop there. Why not take this opportunity to try and cross sell to your new customer too? Think about it – if you are remarketing to a user it means they have previously interacted with your brand and they have now invested further by responding positively to your message – be that through making a purchase or by downloading a form.
Upselling through remarketing has found to increase conversion rates by 3-5%. But what does an upsell opportunity look like? Say, for example, your customer has bought a car, you could then add them to a unique segment list and retarget them with messages about relevant car accessories across different networks (for example, Facebook and the Google Display Network).
4. Concoct a Powerful Testing Plan
Part of the reason why remarketing is so powerful is that it allows you to test the impact of your campaigns and to change elements of them according to the results you receive. You should A/B test your campaigns for each audience type. However, before you begin testing, it is essential to identify clear and measurable metrics – do you want to improve your conversion rate by 15%, for example?
Testing not only allows you to check what works and what doesn't but it also acts as an insightful research tool to help you enhance the understanding of your audience's behaviour and preferences. You can use this information to inform every element of your digital marketing campaign – not just your remarketing strategy.
Top Tips for Testing Your Campaigns:
- First identify a set of measurable metrics based on your digital marketing goals.
- Then decide how you are going to measure them – can you track your conversions in Google Analytics, for example?
- Isolate and test only one element for a set period of time – for example, make a slight tweak to your CTA for one week and measure its impact against the original copy.
- Testing can help you choose the best digital marketing channels to retarget on – keep a note of the CPC and reach of each campaign so you can see which ones deliver the best results for your money.
- Remember that it's not just your creative that can be tested – try trialing a completely new offer instead.
Remarketing results in 400% more conversions. It's an essential tool in every digital marketers toolkit. Learn how we're remarketing to you and how you can use this powerful tactic to drive visibility for your own brand.

2013 Race Across America
The focus of WSI's 2013 community involvement effort is the 2013 Race Across America, which aims to raise proceeds for the Children's Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation.
WSI, MCPH and ReachLocal are geared to support Kathy Roche-Wallace, a member of the WSI cycling team, who also happens to be a 2011 RAAM record-holder in the Solo Woman's 50+ division. This year, Kathy is aiming to beat her personal record and complete the race in less than 12 days.
Kathy's race will be dedicated to raising funds and boosting awareness of the Children's Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation (CNCF). The 3,000 mile race begins on June 11 and the contributions collected will work to support Kathy and her Race Across America, and then distributed 50/50 between CNCF and MCPH. With the worldwide exposure generated by the event, we can all help to bring awareness to both of these causes. Together we'll be helping improve the quality of life for children across the globe.

text: Virtual teams, in which the members work from multiple locations, have become a common feature at many global organizations. In spite of this new reality, collocated teams experience difficulties in adapting their established processes and practices for a newly virtual working environment, greatly impeding their performance, productivity, and morale. In this paper, we present findings from a qualitative case study of five software teams that hired and onboarded their first remote team member. Our analyses focus on three underappreciated aspects of the virtual onboarding process: trying to learn team practices as the team changes them, building and maintaining social relationships with physically remote teammates, and evaluating and managing expectations of performance from afar. From the results of our analyses, we pose seven propositions about virtual onboarding that should be explored in future studies.

SAGE veterinarians have spoken to hundreds of dog owners at our Wilderness First Aid talks at local REI stores. Here are some of the most common questions we hear:
Are there any NSAIDS that are safe for dogs?
SAGE Redwood City criticalist Dr. Sara Lefman says dog owners can administer low dose aspirin if it is needed in a pinch. However, there are safer, canine-specific non-steroidal medications (carprofen, meloxicam, etc.) that are available from your veterinarian. If you are using aspirin, always consult your veterinarian for the proper dose.
Is hydrogen peroxide the best thing to use if my dog eats something toxic?
If you are unable to bring your dog to the veterinarian, hydrogen peroxide can be used to induce vomiting at a dose of 1 tsp/10 lbs. However, hydrogen peroxide irritates the stomach lining and may cause ulceration. If vomiting is unsuccessful after one dose, it should not be repeated. Ideally, patients should be brought to a veterinarian to have vomiting induced safely with injectable medications.
How do I get a dog to release something from their mouth that they shouldn't have?
Dogs get into the strangest things! If we catch them in the act, the easiest way to get them to release the item is to offer them something they love. SAGE Concord surgeon Dr. Lissa Richardson has used treats (freeze dried liver or chicken on the trail, or liverwurst at home) with great success.[1] Her dog Pepper grabbed a rat skull on the trail once and refused to drop it until a fragrant treat became part of the bargain.
The key to success is to practice at home first. Give your dog a tasty, hard-to-eat treat (like a pig's ear or Kong with peanut butter) and then say "May I have it please?" Take it from them and immediately give them a nice, easy-to-eat treat, like freeze-dried liver.
Will Krazy Glue work on a paw pad laceration?
Dog paw pads are thick with a layer of fatty tissue and they have a slightly rounded shape. Krazy Glue is not strong enough to hold a paw laceration closed. If your dog sustains a cut to a paw pad, seek veterinary care for cleaning and stitching.
What if I remove a tick and I don't remove the head?
SAGE Dublin Emergency veterinarian Dr. Zuhal Elhan says this is not a cause for concern. If the head is left in, it will eventually scab over and fall off. However, we know that it can be disconcerting to know that blood-sucking head is still there. Dr. Richardson recommends this extra step prior to removing the tick: Annoy it! Dr. Richardson spends about 2 minutes flicking the tick with her fingers. Just flick it over and over again. This will annoy the tick and get it to release its jaws, making it easier to remove the whole tick body, head included.
[1] Dr. Richardson learned this tip at Sirius Puppy Kindergarten training classes.

SAN JOSE (CBS SF/99.7 NOW) – In one word, "Lucky" sums up San Jose State student Steven Haryono. The 22 year-old is now a millionaire all with the help from Facebook and Chase Bank.
PHOTO: Facebook/Chase Contest Winner
We've all seen those little banner adds on our Facebook page where it says "click LIKE" for your chance to win a tv, vacation or even money. When Steven saw a contest Facebook tile by Chase Bank called "Chase Freedom Million Dollar Sweepstakes" he didn't ignore it. He clicked "LIKE" and that was it. The drawing was held and he beat out thousands of other people who clicked and won the top prize.
According to the MercuryNews.com, Haryono has already picked up his requisite giant check from the Chase branch in Fremont. A Chase spokesman said Haryono was not available for interviews on Friday.

The Nissan GT-R is a tricky car to understand. That is, if you go on the words of car reviewers alone.
According to the writers and video-ers of the automotive world, the GT-R is both soulful and soulless, surprisingly filled with character but also devoid of it. The car is a mini-Bugatti, exciting, boring, bespoke, cheap, expensive, common, attractive, and ugly.
Everyone, at least, has agreed that it is fast.
Which car review do you think most accurately reflects the reality of driving or owning a new R35 GT-R? Post your favorite below.

Some .WTV files that were recorded in Windows 7 Media Center can not be converted to iPad .MP4 using Recode 2018. I believe the common element with these files is that the Video Bitrate value is listed as "Not available" and Recode only converts the audio. I'm not certain yet if there is anything else common among the files so I will keep looking.
Is there a work around for this problem? I'm hoping for some help or guidance with this. Any suggestions?
Help get this topic noticed by sharing it on Twitter, Facebook, or email.
Recode 2018 does not convert video in some .WTV files
Recode 2018 does not convert video in some .WTV files
I neglected to mention that the video does work in the .WTV files when viewing them using Windows Media Center, Windows Media Player, or VLC.
see the change log
Hi Mike-
After importing those files, click on More Options, Video.
Can you change the bit rate after checking the box for "Change quality for this video only?"
Thank you for your quick response. The "Video bit rate: Not available" on the left side under the slide bar cannot change. The "kbit/s" on the right side does change when I move the slider. The "Average bit rate" is set. I can post a screen shot if that would help.
You should be able to change the Average bit rate to Constant bit rate but I don't know if that helps convert the file.
Couple of things you can do-
Go here- https://sourceforge.net/projects/medi...
and download Media Info. Open your file in it. Select View/Tree. Post a screen shot which shows the video and audio characteristics.
Open Nero Video and select Make Advanced Movie. Import your file and put it on the time line. Select Export, Export to File and select mpeg-4 (which should work on your iPad). I don't know what the resolution of your original file is but if it's not shown correctly, change it in configure. Export it to file.
Does that work?
You can import the WTV files into the free XMedia Recode, in 'Format' tab, in 'Profile' select 'Custom', in 'Format' select MPEG2 or MPEG TS (or MP4 if HD videos), in the Video and Audio tabs select 'Copy', then press the 'Encode' button.
XMedia Recode will simply change the container from WTV to MPEG2 or MP4 (no conversion will take place) and you can then import them into Nero Video or Nero Recode.
This reply was removed on 2017-12-28.
see the change log
Wither 1 & nbdg223: Thank you for your suggestions. I had success importing into Nero Video and exporting using the MPEG-4 profile. The video and audio are in sync so this is a good work around, although the export process takes much longer than Recode.
Recode exports files in much less time than Video so my plan is to run the .WTV files through Recode to convert the files with a known bitrate, and then use Video for the files with no bitrate available.
I will continue to investigate why some .WTV files have the bitrate available for Recode and some do not. BTW, MediaInfo isn't of much help with .WTV files providing only the name of the file, the format (WTV), and the file size. MediaInfo does provide lots of information on the exported MP4 file.
I have not yet tried XMedia Recode to change the container from WTV to MP4. I will report back as soon as I try doing that.
Thank you both for your help steering me in the right direction.
Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year to you both.
I didn't know one could even import .wtv into Recode. I knew you could do it in Nero Video starting with v2016, I believe.
I'm glad my suggestion worked.
You didn't give me the screenshot I requested.
Uploading an image isn't working for me. I did mention in the previous reply that MediaInfo provided no output other than the three lines noted previously: the name of the file, the format (WTV), and the file size. There is no video or audio data provided for the .WTV container.
I did experiment a bit with XMedia Recode as suggested by nbdg223 and that may be the answer to my recode needs. So far, it has converted all the .WTV files I've thrown at it including the ones with no video bitrate, and it's much faster than Nero Video.
If you select Tree after you select view, the full video and audio characteristics should e shown. Here's an example for a .wtv (the only one I have)-
To add an image, simply click on Add Image in the right hand corner of a reply box. Browse to an select a video. Click on Upload. It will show up as a href until you click on Reply.
Thank you. I appreciate your feedback.
I did select tree in MediaInfo. However, I only receive the three lines I already noted. I tried a bunch of .WTV files and they all gave the same three lines of output. MediaInfo does work on other file extensions like .MP4 for me.
I did get the URL when I tried to add the output from MediaInfo as you requested. So, here it is.
Your files are suspect if MediaInfo can't display the information.
Do you have a smaller one that you could upload to a cloud service such as dropbox.com and provide a link to it. In dropbox, after the file is uploaded, you would click on Share, Get Link, Copy Link and then paste the link here.
I just tried more than 10 WTV files and MediaInfo gave me the same three lines for all of them, Complete name, Format, and File size. The WTV files all run fine in Media Center and Media Player so I don't think there is a corruption issue.
Could the problem be caused by a version difference in MediaInfo? The version I have is 17.12. MediaInfo produces the correct output for other containers like MP4.
I will load a shorter WTV file to Google Drive and post the link later today.
Thanks again for all your help.
I think you're right about media info. I was using an older version and when I updated, it gave the same results as you provided.
Looking forward to your file.
If you search for WTV in the upper right, you will find that this issue has been around for years, across many versions of Nero. In fact, the WTV that Wither 1 has exhibits the very issues (I provided it years ago). So, there's no need to upload an example file for him to try!
I would like the file.
Wither 1,
I provided the WTV file that you have. Why waste even more of Mike's time?
I appreciate everyone's help and I do not mind sharing a WTV file. Below is the link to a half hour show that my wife watches. I hope it helps.
Hi Mike-
That file is shown at the website and downloads as a mpeg-4.
I must have clicked on the wrong file. My apology. Below is the correct link.
I have an interesting find. After you load a .WTV file on to Xmedia Recode, if you then right click on the file in the top area and select MediaInfo from the drop down, it will display the full three areas of output, General, Video, and audio. Lots of valuable data.
Strangely, Media Info shows the video to be mpeg-2 but doesn't identify the audio.
As you noted, the recoded file comes out as audio.
Previously, I indicated that I didn't know that you could recode .wtv in Recode. I was going by memory. It seems to me that when the issue of .wtv came up previously, Nero fixed it in Nero Video but not Recode. However, I looked at the release notes for v2016 through v2018 and nothing is mentioned in regards to .wtv.
You can always ask tech support about it. You can contact them by going here-
and submitting the contact form.
Please let us know what they have to say.
I looked at a number of very old threads on this subject. This is a response from tech support in response to a similar question in regards to v14. I think it may sum things up-
The latest version of Nero Recode 12 does also not support WTV files. (available via onlineupdate)
Currently it is not planned to re-enable WTV usage at Nero Recode 2014.
But the WTV files can be processed within Nero Video.
In the most cases WTV files using Nero Video will lead to audio/video async.
If the source videofile was already async before it cannot be "repaired".
If the source WTV file does not contain async, we recommend to rightclick the WTV file at your Windows Explorer and use the Windows function to convert it to a dvr-ms file.
The dvr-ms file usage at Nero Video will make better results than the WTV.
Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
If you intend to pursue this with Tech Support, here's some links.
A link to the 11 MB .wtv 'Vampire Diaries' video mentioned above by Wither 1:
As I said above, it is sufficient to demonstrate the issues.
A link to the topic quoted by Wither 1: http://gsfn.us/t/493t1
A more recent link; http://gsfn.us/t/4q3gq
Thank you Wither 1 and Omega Tester for your help. I will pursue this issue with tech support and will report back what I learn.
Mike, there's a free software called MC-TVConverter. This software can run in the taskbar and automatically convert/stream copy WTV to MP4, etc. after the WTV recordings are finished by WMC.
After installation, in the MCTVConverter folder in C:\Program Files in Windows, there is a file named 'profiles'. Copy and paste this file into the same folder. Right-click on the 'profiles' file and select 'Edit', then copy the following profiles and paste them immediately under where it states:

Comprehensive Public Safety and Revitalization in Madison
Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation project is an 18 month planning grant awarded to the Madison Police Department in late 2015. The project's purpose is to create a comprehensive public safety and revitalization plan for the Raymond Road corridor neighborhoods by obtaining input from residents, local organizations and service providers, businesses, and government agencies to develop the plan. The plan will be used to apply for possible implementation funding from the U.S. Department of Justice and/or other sources.
The Raymond Road target area is located in southwest Madison. It consists of several neighborhoods: Meadowood, Prairie Hills, Greentree and Park Ridge/Park Edge. The community, made up of 8,800 people, consists of single family homes as well as several large apartment complexes and townhomes.
The project's multi-focused goals are:
- create a durable framework to support grassroots leaderships and social cohesion;
- build trust and collaborative problems solving among police, residents and community groups;
- improve affordable housing through code enforcement and nuisance abatement;
- enhance job training, employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, expand access to substance abuse and other wellness services and explore community justice alternatives for first time and non-violent offenders.
Dr. Jeffrey Lewis of Sustaining Natural Circles, LLC will serve as the grant's research partner to support participatory, evidence-based approaches to gathering and using data to help develop strategies for the planning process.
For more information, please contact Stephanie Bradley Wilson at email@example.com.

The 2nd Summit of CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) Osteoporosis Societies met in St. Petersburg on September 23, 2012 to review the status of osteoporosis in the region since the landmark IOF Eastern European & Central Asian Regional Audit of 2010. The delegates' signed appeal outlines five clear areas in which action must be taken in order to reduce the enormous socio-economic burden of osteoporosis and related fractures.
The Meeting was held under the auspices of the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and with the participation of osteoporosis societies and medical doctors from the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Republic of Belarus, Republic of Moldova, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Five of these societies Russian Association on Osteoporosis, Ukraine Association on Osteoporosis, Armenian Osteoporosis Association, Belorussian Public Association "Overcome Osteoporosis Together" and Moldovan Anti-osteoporosis Association - are members of the IOF Committee of National Societies.
In 2010, representatives of these osteoporosis societies, together with colleagues from other 11 countries from the Eastern European and Central Asian Region, jointly prepared and issued the 'IOF Eastern European & Central Asian Regional Audit Epidemiology, costs and burden of osteoporosis in 2010'. The document demonstrated that osteoporosis is one of the major health problems throughout the region. According to the data reported by the authors of the Audit, the situation might be called threatening. By 2050, the population of the majority of CIS countries will have substantially decreased while the proportion of patients with osteoporosis fractures will have increased among those who are 50 years and over.
A growing problem compounded by lack of awareness and scarcity of diagnostic facilities:
At the Summit, Professor Olga Lesnyak, President of the Russian Osteoporosis Association, stated that even at that time every third woman and every fourth man over 50 years had osteoporosis. The problem of osteoporosis in the population is worsening steadily due to longer life spans. Professor Lesnyak stated that an estimated 34 million Russian people are at risk for fractures associated with osteoporosis. Meanwhile, in the Russian Federation a hip fracture occurs every five minutes. "We carried out research among people aged over 50 and came to the conclusion that vertebral fractures are very common. We diagnosed fractures even in those who didn't suspect they had a problem," said Lesnyak. "Overall, nearly 10% of the population of Russia had vertebral fractures with no awareness of the problem and registration in the statistics."
The available data on osteoporosis points to an unfavorable prognosis: By 2035 the number of Russian people aged over 50 years suffering hip fracture will have increased almost two-fold, by 96% in women and 105% in men.
Ageing of the population and the low awareness of the problem of osteoporosis are distinguishing characteristics for other CIS countries as well. In Uzbekistan, it is predicted that by 2050, 40% (14 million) of the population will be 50 years and older, 12% (4.2 million) 70 years and older along with increasing the population up to 35 million people. Given the population growth in the Republic, by 2020 the number of people suffering from osteoporosis is predicted to increase to up to 250,000 people. In Uzbekistan, the incidence of osteoporotic fractures is also growing. According to the Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics of Uzbekistan, the main reason lies in lack of awareness of the problem among the population of the Republic. Furthermore, there are still difficulties in studying the problem of osteoporosis at a national level, including due to inadequate numbers of diagnostic equipment. In Uzbekistan, there are only 4 sonar and 5 DXA machines.
There is a lack of diagnostic equipment in many other countries throughout the region as well. Double X-ray absorptiometry is the most accurate modern method of diagnosis which is available only in big cities, although in one third of the reviewed countries 40% of the population lives in urban areas. In most of CIS, pharmacological treatment of people with high risk of fractures is not reimbursed, therefore citizens just can't afford it themselves. It is known that low levels of calcium and vitamin D intake pose a negative effect on bone health. Meanwhile, in almost all CIS countries the intakes for these nutrients fall far below FAO /WHO recommendations. Additionally, the majority of the population has already suffered from obvious vitamin D deficiency leading not only to fractures but to rickets. Over the last years the proportion of children affected with rickets has reached up to 54-66% in some Russian regions.
A few positive trends outweighed by inaction in most countries:
At the same time the Summit participants did report that, since the publication of the 2010 Audit results, some positive changes had occurred in their countries.
Despite these welcome, if modest, signs of progress, it is too early to declare that osteoporosis has been recognized as a priority for health care systems in CIS countries.
New epidemiological study underway:
The governments of CIS and adjacent countries do not draw enough attention to the problem. Despite evidence that fractures resulting from osteoporosis pose a major public health burden, neither epidemiological nor health-economic studies that might encourage specialists to be engaged in prevention are being carried out.
In many countries there is still a complete lack of relevant statistics. That is why the Russian Association on Osteoporosis has initiated the multinational population-based study in the countries of the region "Epidemiological study of osteoporotic fractures in Eurasia (EVA)". The goal is to obtain the data on incidence of main osteoporotic fractures.
Summit participants sign Appeal requesting action:
Given the dire state of affairs, the participants of the Summit proposed that osteoporosis be recognized as a health priority at the state level, and that treatment and prevention strategies, as well as urgent surgical treatment for patients with hip fractures, be provided. An appeal with such proposals towards the governments and health ministries of CIS countries was signed by the summit participants presenting 10 countries.
The signed document calls for the following five measures to be taken:
Speaking on behalf of IOF, CEO Judy Stenmark supported the CIS Summit call for action. "As representatives of osteoporosis medical and patient societies, the delegates of the CIS Summit on Osteoporosis have seen at first hand the devastating effect of osteoporotic fractures on the senior populations of their countries. IOF strongly supports their Appeal and asks that health authorities take concerted action to combat osteoporosis and thereby reduce the unnecessary loss of life and costly long-term disability."

Bonjour French Property Insider Subscriber,
Yes, Paris property prices have hit a record high, but mark my words, the record will continue to be broken and prices will rise even further.
The Local just published an article touting the "amazing news" -- as if we are all shocked by it. We are not. If you are reading French Property Insider regularly, then you know we report on the Paris property market regularly and timely, based on the reports issued by the Chambre de Notaires. The statistics quoted in The Local or by Seloger also come from the Chambre de Notaire's partnership with INSEE, known as the notary-INSEE index:
"Price indexes for resale dwellings (with the Notary-INSEE label) are calculated quarterly by INSEE, and serve to enrich the statistical information available on the French housing market. These reference indices, produced in partnership with the Notary authorities (Higher Council of Notaries and the Paris Chamber of Notaries), are calculated on the basis of net vendor transaction prices (excluding transfer fees, notary fees and agency fees) of sales completed in the quarter."
So, when you're reading that "Buying a property in Paris is more expensive than it's ever been with house hunters now having to fork out a record €9,000 per square meter on average if they want to own a piece of the French capital, according to new figures," readers beware. This is only a small part of the picture and the figures could fool you. The truth is, that the average price is much, much higher! And is sure to go much higher if the trends continue.
Why? For a number of factors, one must consider the reported figures with certain truths in mind:
1. The figures are reported based on the final sale. The negotiations for that sale took place AT LEAST three months prior to the sale -- as long as when the pre-sale agreement was signed. Then, the report is issued about two months later, therefore the figures are already five months out of date.
2. The figures DO NOT include transfer fees, notary fees and agency fees. That's a big difference. Property prices advertised INCLUDE agency commissions which are normally about five percent. So, now you can immediately add that five percent (of the gross, not the net) to the equation. If the average price was €9,000 per square meter, then it was advertised at about €9,500 per square meter including the commission.
3. Smart buyers will insist that the furnishings values be listed and deducted from the sale price to reduce the basis on which the notarial taxes and fees are assessed. So, let's say the apartment has a fully equipped kitchen and you're buying it that way. All of the appliances and cabinetry account for furnishings and can easily amount to €10,000 or way more. That comes off the top, too, further reducing the per square meter average that is reported...but of course, that's not the price that is advertised or that will come out of your pocket.
4. Then, there's the cash exchange between buyer and seller, that is absolutely illegal, but done. It's a well known practice that the two make a deal on the side to avoid paying taxes -- notarial taxes and fees for the buyer, as well as capital gains tax for the seller. No one knows how much that accounts for!
5. Let's remember, too, that averaging takes place within each district and when considering the quality of the properties, further changing what you would expect to pay for a good property investment. If you want a property that has valuable assets, such as a great view, lots of light, an elevator, a guardian, etc., etc., then you will be at the top of the price range. All the others -- that don't have such desirable assets, drag down the average prices.
So, let's review this. If the reported average in the city is €9,000 per square meter, and that's already five months old with an average annual increase of at least eight percent, then today, that figure can be expected to be about €9,300 per square meter. Add five percent to that for the agency fees, and you get about €9,790 per square meter (remember the commission comes off the gross, not the net). And if you further add a small percentage for furnishings (let's estimate five percent of the price), that gets you to well over €10,000 per square meter on the average. That's more like it -- and that's the truth. The bottom line is to compare the reported prices to comparable properties on the market and use that as your true barometer.
And yes, Paris "has become an exclusive city, reserved for high earners (management and liberal professions)," but haven't just about all other international cities? According to CNN the ten most expensive (affordability) cities are Hong Kong, Sydney, Vancouver, Aukland, San Jose, Melbourne, Honolulu, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Bournemouth & Dorset. No matter what report you look at (I looked at about a dozen), Paris has a long way to go before it hits the prices of such places as Monaco, Hong Kong or London. This means there's room for growth.
I also agree with The Local's article that "the election of Donald Trump, Britain's decision to leave the EU and Emmanuel Macron's election in France have apparently all played a role in boosting property prices in the French capital." We know this first hand. The moment Mr. Trump was elected, our phones and inboxes saw a big boost in activity. Add Brexit to the mix and the British are doing the same...getting "the hell out of Dodge," at least financially if not physically. Then M. Macron came along and welcomed the deserters. That added fuel to the property fire.
One last thing that is very, very important to remember: Paris is a finite market. Parts of it may go UP, but it can't go OUT. Even if the city is successful in creating new-build high rises within the "périphérique," and even if Madame le Maire Hidalgo thinks she can expand that circle to include some of the suburbs, there will never be a devaluation of the historic center of the city...never. The demand is high and the supply is low. We all know what that means as students of Economics 101...higher prices.
The moral of the story: Waiting will cost you a lot of money and you'll be kicking yourself later that you didn't act faster.
A bientôt,
Adrian Leeds

David Child and Katrina Parker have been filming our Kinfolk Dinners and ERL Pop Up Dinners for a while now and I LOVE what they do. Both Sydney based, David and Kat are creative content producers creating engaging content through visual storytelling, both working with various lifestyle brands to create beautiful content. Both love to work collaboratively. Both love to travel the world sharing their experiences on camera and film. And BOTH are fantastic at what they do and so easy to work with. A little while ago David and Kat launched the noun collective, a documentary series created to inspire motivate and educate. The idea was born from a mutual love and respect for exploring, meeting new people and seeking out the unfamiliar. I have loved working with both of them on many events and it is always such a treat when the final edit video link comes in via email....forever grateful for all of the event videos that myself and all of the event partners and team will treasure. I hope you like this latest video from one of our recent KINFOLK Dinners created by David Child and Katrina Parker. You can view them on my vimeo.
Its a team effort after all....
All of the KINFOLK events are a team effort. Nothing would happen if it wasn't for the entire team of people contributing to this event in their own special way. I would like to make a very special thank you to all of our special event partners listed here. As many of us, including me, volunteer our time, products and services to help bring these events to life - from the event management, ticket sales, event run sheets, event space hire, blog posts, social media sharing, venue sourcing, menu creation, catering prep, gift bags, sponsorships, table styling, floral prepping, menu design, event photography, videography, artworks, setting up, cleaning up and more... hundreds of hours go into each event, behind the scenes and on the day, away from our families, and without your help and support these events would not be possible. So a BIG thank you to all for collaborating with us. And of course to our lovely guests. Thanks for sharing the table with us.

The leadership battle between Marcin Bialoblocki and Yanto Barker is set to take another turn when the British Cycling Elite Road Series descends on Staffordshire on Saturday 2 August for round seven, the Stafford Kermesse.
Velosure-Giordana RT's Bialoblocki and Team Raleigh's Barker have traded blows throughout the series and prior to last weekend's Circuit of the Fens, Bialoblocki held a slender advantage.
However, the Velosure man missed the crucial break in the Cambridgeshire race, handing the lead back to the 34-year-old Team Raleigh pro.
Barker now leads the series with 133 points, with Bialoblocki 14 points behind on 119 with just three rounds remaining.
Round one winner Alex Peters of Madison Genesis has never been far from title contention and is now just two points adrift of Bialoblocki in third, while behind him, NFTO Pro Cycling's Russell Downing is closing in on the overall top three, aided by a podium finish at the Circuit of the Fens beside race winner and teammate Adam Blythe.
The strong NFTO team performance in the fens means that the outfit currently top the team standings by a slender three points from Team Raleigh and Madison Genesis, who tie on 48 points apiece.
The Stafford Kermesse takes its name from the popular Belgian race format. Literally meaning 'festival', kermesse races were built around town festivals and the Staffordshire event is no different.
The British Cycling Elite Road Series event is part of the weekend-long Staffordshire Cycling Festival, which incorporates a Women's Road Series double header on Friday and Saturday, a sportive on Saturday amid a plethora of family-friendly activity throughout the weekend.
Kermesse races traditionally use short courses passing many times through the host town and again the Stafford event is faithful to the format, with 14 laps of a 5.7-kilometre course centred on the majestic Shugborough Hall affording spectators plenty of opportunity to get close to the action as the 80-kilometre race progresses.

Property Solutions (Smart Buildings)
The life span of a buildings is several decades, sometimes even centuries. This means that more than 80% of the total cost and environmental impact of a building arises after it has become operational, i.e. during the facility management phase.
This is also the period when the full value of a building can be realized, i.e. when and if the building is used to its full potential. For this to be possible, the building needs to meet potential and existing users' needs and expectations regarding attractiveness, productivity, efficiency and sustainability.
Coor assists you, in and around your buildings, in creating experiences that mean that your customers and employees want to spend time there, that the space promotes well-being and allows staff to optimize performance. We also help you to minimize the cost and environmental impact throughout the building's life cycle. As a provider of complete facility management solutions, we help you optimize your buildings over their entire life cycle. We call this concept SmartBuildings.
SmartBuildings start with users and their needs
SmartBuildings provide
- A beneficial and healthy indoor climate
- An attractive user experience
- Good accessibility, functionality and security
- Additional services that increase the value to the employees that work there
A positive and healthy indoor climate
The quality of the indoor climate has a significant impact on well-being and health. Research has shown that an improved indoor climate can increase productivity by up to 8-11%. This means that continuous measurement and analysis, and optimization of the indoor climate, are key to Coor's offering.
An attractive customer experience
Creating an attractive user experience requires more than just good building design and an attractive interior. Positive experiences are created and enhanced by well-managed external environments, effective cleaning and in particular the responsiveness of service staff. Our service design specialists help customize solutions that suit your needs, and we also deliver most services ourselves.
Good accessibility, functionality and security
SmartBuildings and associated services should be accessible whenever the user needs them, while also guaranteeing security, both from an access and health and safety perspective. SmartBuildings are also reliable, functional and efficient, both from a technical and logistics perspective. Coor helps you provide the full range of services, from operations to physical and technical security. We also take care of all logistics in the building, including mail reception and delivery, and preparation and serving of food and drink. Our complete solutions ensure that everything runs smoothly, and that nothing is left to chance.
Value added services for users
Most companies and public bodies are currently fighting over limited labor market resources. This means that the workplace has become an important tool for attracting and retaining the best staff.
Apart from the services associated with a building's communal areas, Coor is also able to tailor-make service packages for delivery in tenants' individual workspaces. These service packages can either be customized for each tenant, or packaged in standard bundles in collaboration with the customer. Some of these services may be included in the rental cost, while others are paid directly by individual tenants, or even employees. Packages can include everything from cleaning, food and drink, customer hosts and concierge services.
SmartBuildings are cost effective and minimize environmental impact
SmartBuildings ensure
- Cost-efficient operations, maintenance and investments
- Minimal environmental impact
Cost efficient operations, maintenance and investments
SmartBuildings are cost efficient from an overall perspective. Coor ensures the effective delivery of all the services we provide. We capitalize on synergies between services, and optimize the operational and maintenance plans of each building according to your needs, goals and conditions. We always focus on delivery quality, sustainability and customer satisfaction. With the help of new technology, we're now increasingly moving towards proactively working with condition-based and predictive maintenance.
Minimized environmental impact
A smart building minimizes the environmental impact on the basis of specific conditions and potential improvements. Coor is an expert in energy optimization and energy efficiency, and in addition to ISO 14001:2015 certification, we also use our own environmental labelling system Coor Green Services to evaluate and highlight environmentally friendly service delivery.
SmartBuildings are optimized throughout their life cycle
As a complete FM solutions provider, Coor has the unique ability to assist you in optimizing your buildings throughout their life cycle. Even if service delivery during the management phase is our primary focus, we also provide support at the planning stage and during production of new buildings. During this phase, we can influence a number of conditions that then provide the foundation for maximizing attractiveness, productivity, efficiency and sustainability during the management phase, particularly with regard to optimizing logistics flows, choice of surface materials and technical solutions. A key enabler for life cycle optimization is management of building information. Accordingly, Coor offers management of factors such as architect's plans, operating and maintenance documentation, and full-scale BIM models.
Coor has more than 750 highly skilled employees working on property solutions, and who are the strength behind the solutions we offer our customers. Read more about the services included in property service.

3 Things We Learned About Intuition From Broad City's Ilana Glazer
Erin Hanafy・October 26, 2016
On Broad City, Ilana is a whirlwind of id, running the streets of New York City fueled by an intense mix of can-do swagger, dreamy enthusiasm, and mama bear protectiveness toward BFF Abbi. But how does the real Ilana—AKA show co-creator Ilana Glazer—run her life? Yep, intuition is a big part of it.
"I do think your destiny is written inside you. And engaging with people, engaging with exercises that develop that intuition helps you get there," says Glazer, who spoke with David Ludden, PhD, a professor of psychology at Georgia Gwinnett College near Atlanta, about intuition at a Rubin Museum of Art event in New York City this week.
"Daring to hear your instinct of where you should be—I feel like everybody can access their personal destiny if they're attuned to it," she says.
Intriguing, especially coming from someone who is seriously crushing it professionally right now. (If you don't know the backstory, Glazer and co-creator/co-star Abbi Jacobson started Broad City as a DIY web series and turned it into a hit show on Comedy Central, produced by Amy Poehler. In other words, they are living their dream and hanging out with Leslie Knope on the reg—#goals.)
So what else can you learn about intuition from Glazer, who taps into her instincts as a creative genius-on-the-rise, and Ludden, who is a scientific expert on the topic? Plenty.
Read on for three things you might not know about intuition, as it relates to decision-making, mindfulness, and hyper-productive states of mind.
1. You already have intuition; you just have to pay attention to it
As a writer, actress, and improv comedian, working on an intuitive level is what Glazer does every day. But you don't have to make a living coming up with GIF-worthy moments to get in touch with that skill. In fact, Dr. Ludden says it's the most basic form of thought.
"We're all intuitive. That's the basic machinery we have. It takes effort to become analytical," Dr. Ludden explains, adding that intuition takes extremely subtle physical clues and processes them on a subconscious level. So, for instance when you meet someone and feel a recognition—no surprise, Glazer says she felt that jolt when she met Jacobson—it's often because your intuitive brain is perceiving an incredible number of details that make you feel comfortable with that person, without you consciously realizing it.
So why are some of us so disconnected from it, if it's such a basic built-in brain function? "As we grow up we're told not to trust our intuition, and we're really taught to value the analytical mind. But the reality is we need a balance of both," Dr. Ludden says. "The mindfulness craze within psychology right now is really about getting back in touch with intuition."
2. Getting into "flow state" is all about rhythm
"Flow state" (an idea popularized by the 2008 book Flow) is when you're doing something you're good at, which you also enjoy, and you lose track of time and maybe even disconnect from who you are, Dr. Ludden says. The result? Usually, your performance goes up several notches.
Think: those days when crow pose is a breeze (even though you've fallen on your face for the previous 30 days). Or when you've got a packed calendar and an overflowing inbox—and suddenly it's 6 p.m. and everything, somehow, got done.
For Glazer, getting in that state where her comedy mojo is flowing is a physical sensation. "I'm a drummer, and in performance I think about rhythm all the time," Glazer says. "When things feel really effortless, it feels like a body sense and intuition at the same time."
She's also in favor of unplugging: "There's something about all this content coming at you all the time…. My instinct is to go back to those old Nokia phones," she says, adding that, yes, she could just turn her smartphone off. "I could. But so many texts." (Feel ya.)
3. And what about those times when you think of a friend, and right then she calls?
Dr. Ludden says it's all about confirmation bias: "You're not remembering all those times when you thought about her and she didn't call. Or when you didn't think about her and she called anyway."
But Glazer believes we can still find meaning in the random. "This has been happening to me more and more as I get older, and it feels so mystical. I really do think people are magic, and we tend to dampen that with the way we live," she says, while admitting to feeling foolish talking about "magic" with a scientist. "But there really is something magical about exercising that sense that's always there."
Another person who's firmly pro-magic? Elizabeth Gilbert, who says being creative gets you to a happier, more fulfilled place—whether you think you're good at it or not. And then of course there's Marie Kondo, who at this point may be able to transform everything from your home to your diet to your mind.
