Preserve good health by canning food properly
Special to Valley Community Newspapers
Home canning of fruits and vegetables is regaining popularity thanks to the economic downturn and a growing interest in eating locally grown food. A downside to this practice is that if food is preserved improperly, consumers may become ill or die, according to University of California Cooperative Extension nutrition advisors.
If practiced properly, home canning is a safe method for preserving food. The canning process involves placing foods in jars and heating them to a temperature that destroys the microorganisms that cause food to spoil. During this heating process, air is driven out of the jar and as it cools a vacuum seal is formed. This vacuum seal prevents air and microorganisms from getting back into the jar.
If tested recipes are not followed, food-borne microorganisms can survive and they will spoil canned foods. Worse, consumers can get botulism from eating improperly home-canned foods. Botulism is a rare, but serious paralyzing illness caused by a nerve toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botulism can kill if not promptly treated.
There are two safe ways of canning food – the boiling water bath method and the pressure canner method. Boiling water is used with high-acid foods such as fruits. A pressure canner must be used with foods such as vegetables, meats and combinations containing these foods such as salsa or spaghetti sauce. Tested recipes and guidelines must always be followed to ensure safe home-canned foods.
"It is very important to follow scientifically tested canning instructions to avoid illness." said Susan Algert, UC Cooperative Extension nutrition advisor for Santa Clara County.
"The boiling water bath method is safe for fruits, jams, jellies, pickles and other acidic preserves," she said. In this method, jars of food are completely covered with boiling water (212 degrees F at sea level) and heated for a specified amount of time.
High-acid foods such as peaches naturally have a pH of 4.6 or less and contain enough acid to prevent the growth of Clostridium botulinum. High-acid foods can be safely canned using the boiling water bath method.
"Certain foods, such as tomatoes, pears and figs, have a pH value close to 4.6 and must have acid added to them to lower the pH enough to use the water bath method," Algert said. The pH can be lowered by adding commercial lemon juice or powdered citric acid.
When canning homemade salsa or other tomato products, Algert recommends following a scientifically tested recipe and using commercially bottled lemon juice to increase the acidity.
"You can't use juice squeezed from a fresh lemon because we don't know exactly how acidic the juice is," Algert said. "Commercial lemon juice meets a standard acidity."
To can low-acid vegetables such as green beans without a pressure cooker, the vegetables must first be pickled using a recommended recipe to ensure the final acidity is too high for Clostridium botulinum to grow.
Clostridium botulinum can form spores, a heat tolerant form of the bacteria that can survive boiling. If spores survive because of inadequate processing, they can revive and allow the bacteria to grow and produce toxins. Clostridium botulinum thrives in low-acid foods like meats and vegetables and in the absence of air in canned foods.
"The only safe method of preserving vegetables, meats, poultry and seafood to prevent botulism is pressure canning," Algert said. "These low-acid foods require heating to at least 240 degrees F for a time specified for each product. This temperature can only be reached using a pressure cooker."
To ensure safety of home canned goods, she recommends using new lids to ensure a tight seal and following scientifically tested instructions.

My name is Moon Stumpp and I�m a mixed media artist. I create the places and things from my imagination with dashes of humor. My work ranges from still life to abstract to whimsical but my passion is mixed media infused with color. Lately, I've been pulled more towards the whimsical and I don't want to leave. My painted works are a co-existence of acrylic, watercolor, molding compounds, metallic and iridescent mediums, pastels, inks, printmaking, and various collage aspects that have been infused with fun, sometimes emotion. The subject matter comes from a direct spontaneous poof of imagination that is a journey of color, shape, and energy. My other focus is digital, which seems to be taking over my creative energies.

Nectar of the gods.
Super HD Weight Loss by Cellucor was a very useful product for me recently. If you are trying to cut body fat this is a great way of heating up your body to increase the metabolic rate of burning fat. This however isn't a stimulant free substance and can cause you to feel hot and sweaty because of the thermos it contains. Overall this product is a great arsenal to have in your system when working out.
I am not a big fan of fat burners because my experience with most of them is that they give me stomach problems and suppresses my appetite to the point I can barely eat. This stuff works really well for me. It's very easy on my stomach compared to others, it is reasonably priced, gives great energy throughout the day and can be a good substitute for a pre workout. I saw noticeable improvements in my body fat % going down while using super HD. I'd day probably 2-3 % in a month (1 bottle) so the effects were good. Overall I would recommend this to anyone looking to shed somebody fat or just gain clean energy throughout the day.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Cafe Dupont Restaurant Review: There's a good reason why Café Dupont has become a favorite for couples celebrating anniversaries; the food is attractively plated and the atmosphere romantic. But those seeking a business lunch without leaving downtown will enjoy dining in this renovated circa-1870 space as well. The kitchen excels at light and crispy fried foods, so fried oysters and okra is a good choice, as is the lunchtime buttermilk fried chicken laid over creamed potatoes with a splash of lemon beurre blanc. Pan-seared confit duck breast sits atop Chilton County peach hash ringed by blueberry reduction, gnocchi and port-poached apples. Smoked Prime beef rib-eye with potato mushroom custard and fried red onions will brighten the day for steak lovers. Beignets with a snowy topping of powdered sugar bow to chef-owner Chris Dupont's stint in New Orleans, and the chocolate budino with fresh fruit and candied pecans is a rich and satisfying finish to any meal. There's a nicely selected wine list with some served by the glass, along with craft beer and cocktails. Wednesday happy hour from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. is a particularly good time to indulge in an after-work tipple, since that's when Sidebar offers a lagniappe of snacks along with discounted drinks.

Are some people more prone to ingrown toenails?
There are a number of risk factors that may predispose a person to having an ingrown toenail. The following are some of the more common:
- Athletics, particularly stop and start sports such as tennis, soccer, and basketball
- Improper shoe gear that is either too small or too large
- Repetitive pressure or trauma to the feet
- Poor foot hygiene
- Abnormal gait
- Foot or toe deformities, such as bunions and hammertoes
- Congenital toenail deformity
- Abnormally long toes
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Fungus infection of the nails (onychomycosis)
- Arthritis
- Soft tissue or bony tumors of the toes
- Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the feet)
- Edema of the lower extremities
Which nails are most commonly affected by ingrown toenails?
Ingrown toenails most commonly occur in the large or "great toes." However, any of the toenails can be affected on either border or side.
What causes infections in ingrown toenails?
The warm, moist environment of the feet can be a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. These commonly include Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, dermatophytes, Candida, and Trichophyton. When there is a break in the skin from the offending nail border, these organisms can invade the area and cause an infection. Treatment for these infections is essential to maintain healthy toenails and feet.

ORONO, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- On Wednesday night the Asphalt Orchestra will play a concert at the UMaine Collins Center. To help drum up interest the orchestra had a little surprise for people on campus.
The orchestra performed a flash mob concert on campus Wednesday. It started in the Hilltop dining commons at noon and they performed at a few other places on campus.
Co-Director of the Asphalt Orchestra Ken Thomson said the group is a 12 piece marching band and they play a wide variety of music ranging from rock, to jazz, to classical. Thomson said he has noticed that performing flash mob concerts before the main event helps bring in a few more people to the show.
"We've discovered that doing the flash mob thing it actually works that people show up for the concert latter so even if they don't know about the band or they don't know what's going on here on campus tonight that they actually find out about it and they say 'hey, let's go down to the show,'" Thomson said.
The Asphalt Orchestra will only have one performance at the Collins Center. The concert starts Wednesday night at 7.

Gladstone leverages property management system to book customers
TORONTO—Known as an innovative boutique hotel, Toronto's Gladstone has also been leveraging its property management system software in some innovative ways.
"We've done some great things," says the Gladstone's creative director, Jeremy Vandermeij. "We've created a welcome page on our Facebook page that looks just like our booking page, and has the same options we have on our site.
"We can also run our own social media campaigns such as 24 to 36-hour deals." A recent campaign netted 109 reservations, outperforming all other deals the Gladstone has done on Twitter.
The hotel has 10,500 Twitter followers and more than 3,400 followers on Facebook. They host an average of 90 events per month at the 37-room hotel.
Vandermeij says they'll use their Northwind Maestro system for future promotions. "More than 90 per cent of all people who book with us, book through our website and the Maestro system," he adds.
This is no small achievement as just about every major brand in the hotel industry is working hard to get customers to book on brand websites rather than online travel agencies.
"They might look at Expedia, doing their research to find the cheapest price, and then they'll book with us."
New chef at the Gladstone
In other Gladstone news, Michael Smith is the new executive chef at the Gladstone Hotel. Smith comes to the Gladstone from the Royal Ontario Museum's C5 Restaurant and he brings over 10 years of professional experience to the kitchen. He is constantly being inspired by the diverse and multi-cultural city of Toronto, and believes that the key to making a restaurant successful is through growth and leadership.
His passion for food is infectious and his strength as a teacher invaluable. Smith has intensive training in both Italian and French cuisine, and is excited to work with the Gladstone's network of local food producers and suppliers.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) FAQs (cont.)
Will I have to have tests to see if I have GERD?
Your health care provider may be able to diagnose gastroesophageal reflux disease just by the symptoms you report. If symptoms continue for more than 4 weeks despite this therapy, you may be referred to a gastroenterologist. If your symptoms are severe, you may have to undergo some tests.
There is no simple blood test for GERD. The tests used to diagnose GERD include the following:

Jamie Lee Focuses on the Funny: An Interview with Comedian Jamie Lee
If you haven't been acquainted with Jamie Lee's comedy yet, you will be soon. She's popping up everywhere. The semifinalist for Last Comic Standing is all over the Internet with videos on YouTube, making The 18 Funny Women You Should be Following on Twitter on Huffington Post and will soon be seen on television doing a guest spot on an episode of Conan slated for September 26.
I recently had the amazing opportunity to sit down with Jamie to discuss the state of Polynesian politics, eat crumpets and braid each others hair. Just kidding. We used GChat and each sat at our respective computers while on other sides of the country because this is the 21st century and we are modern women who conduct business while riding surfboards of productivity and technology. I hope you didn't believe my crumpet-based lie, but it's your own fault if you did. People don't meet face to face anymore, you bozos. What do you think this is, 1998?
You've been named one of the Top 18 Women You Should be Following on Twitter and have recently appeared on Stand Up in Stilletos. While it's great to see amazing women getting exposure, you would be hard-pressed to see a list titled Top 18 Dudes You Should Be Following on Tumblr or Stand up in Boxer-Briefs. Dudes just aren't categorized as being part of — or a representative of — their gender in any field, but particularly entertainment. They're the majority. They don't need representatives or special interest shows. Do you ever feel boxed in or limited by this? By being pegged as a female comedian instead of just a comedian?
I don't feel boxed in by it, but I do feel sorry for those who attempt to do the boxing. "Chicks doing comedy? Can you believe it? Broads being funny? Wowee! Let's round em up!" It's such an archaic outlook on gender. I never go around actively thinking, "I'm a female." I go around actively thinking, "How am I going to adjust the wording of this joke so it hits harder?" I think having all-women comedy shows/twitter round-ups etc. are fun in the slumber party sense, but for the most part, I think funny people, men and women, should be created equal – performing and working together. Funny is funny. Focus on the funny – not the difference in hormone levels.
What can you tell us about your latest writing gig, the new television show produced by Conan O'Brian, The Midnight Show with Pete Holmes?
It could potentially be a show that would follow Conan between one and four nights a week on TBS. Pete is a very gifted stand-up and improviser, but he's also very good about being open, friendly and inviting with an audience. He wants them to feel like, "we're all in this together!" We were trying to put our own unique spin on the traditional late-night format. There would be interviews and recurring segments in-studio, but there [would] also be sketches and room to play around. Traditional late-night meets "Pee Wee's Playhouse."
Your impression of Kim Kardashian is hilarious, and HuffPo tells us that you made the video after watching a marathon session of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Out of my own selfish curiosity, because my feelings about the Kardashians and what they represent in American society are more complex than any interaction I've ever had with a real human being, what are your opinions on Kim Kardashian? Or are you just above it all and too busy to think about them as much as I do?
Thanks! I'm just fascinated at how the Kardashians manifest drama out of thin air. They don't have to go to soul-sucking 9-to-5 jobs, they live luxuriously, the family seems pretty happy and close… yet they find (or create) problems in their lives to harp on and solve. I'm guilty of that as well – like when everything's fine, I find something to be bummed about just to have something to toss around in my big, goofy head.
What prompted the move from Texas to New York? Was it more to get away from the Texan scene or was it about chasing the New York comic dream? (I'm sorry I can't make the last half of that question not sound cheesy.)
How old were you when you did your first open mic stand up performance? What went through your mind before you got on stage?
I started stand-up when I was 23 and I performed my first open mic at the Village Lantern in New York City's West Village. I did okay – considering it was my first time and my standards for how well I did weren't even in place at that point. If I got, like, one laugh during my whole set, that was considered progress. I had nothing to compare it to. As for what went through my mind, I think I was trying to fight feeling tired! It was like 1 a.m. and I had work the next day.
Has that changed? What goes through your mind now?
Do you prefer stand up or making videos? How come?
I don't have a preference, really. My stand up allows me to share stuff I've written, and connect with a live audience. Videos allow me to show off characters, different sides of personality, that kind of thing. I don't do many act outs in my stand-up. I kinda save acting and silliness for videos. Not even sure why. I guess I just feel more comfortable doing videos because it's just me and a camera. You aren't distracted or thrown by the instant feedback of an audience's laughter – or lack thereof.
Who were 3 people who made you laugh growing up?
Steve Martin, Wayne & Garth and my best friend Bonnie. And Miss Piggy. Is that three? What are numbers? They're like letters, but for accountants?
3 people who make you laugh now?
My boyfriend Dan Black is a hilarious improviser and sketch performer so he's definitely one. A bunch of my comedian friends and my family. My aunts, my uncle, my grandfather. They're all so funny. That's more of an Oscar acceptance speech than a proper answer to your question… Bonnie is still a hoot!

The Baltimore Ravens have shored up some depth in the backfield, reportedly signing former Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams to a deal.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Williams agreed to a two-year deal worth $2.5 million with incentives that could boost the contract to $4 million total. Williams must pass a physical on Tuesday for the deal to be complete.
Fantasy: Ray Rice owners will have to adjust their plans
Williams will back up starting running back Ray Rice and will fill the void left by Willis McGahee, who was cut by the Ravens last week.
Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams were the headliners in Miami's rushing committee last season, but as both were aging unrestricted free agents, the team has moved on with rookie Daniel Thomas and former Saint Reggie Bush as its new 1-2 punch.
Williams, a former Heisman Trophy winner, rushed for 673 yards and two touchdowns for the Dolphins last season. He has 9,569 career rushing yards and 68 touchdowns, recording 325 receptions for 2,523 yards and eight touchdowns.

The Airport Adventure Guide
on December 3, 2012
From the wilds of the rainforest to mom and dad's turkey dinner, there's nothing quite as exciting and satisfying as getting out of your own city for a little something different. There's just one thing that can cast a shadow over your traveling adventures: navigating the tangled web that is the US airline hub system. Whether it's last minute bad weather cancellations, striking pilots, or long layovers, it's often more of a surprise when things go right than when they go wrong.
But before you get aggravated just thinking about the upcoming holiday travel season, take a deep breath. There are more than a few ways to beat that airport boredom. Here we list our top 10.
1. Check into the airport lounge.
These days, most business and airline lounges sell day passes for around $50 a pop, even if you're not a member of the elite. Here you'll find drinks, snacks, Wi-Fi, comfy chairs and a little peace and quiet.
2. Take advantage of mini-comforts from home.
Whether it's a neck pillow, your toothbrush, or a tablet stocked full with books, movies and games, it's always smart to pack slim versions of your home comforts in the case of delays and long layovers. Pack a physical book, too, in case you run out of battery and can't find a plug.
3. Make a Friend.
Yes, it sounds like sacrilege, but you can, you know, actually talk to people at the airport. The best way to start is generally to commiserate about the experience and swap horror stories. "You on the Chicago flight that just got canceled? Yep, me too." Asking people for tips on what to do is always a good way to go, as is inquiring about any books they're reading. Just keep aware of "go away" social cues, like putting in earphones or responding only in grunts (always a bad sign). Or, use a tool like Google Latitude or Facebook check-ins to see if any of your friends are nearby. Turn that ridiculous layover into an opportunity for a college reunion.
4. Grab a Bite (or a Drink).
You know all of those restaurants and bars you regularly sprint past on your way to catching a close connection? Yeah, they're there for a reason. Pull up a chair, indulge in something delicious, and wile away the hours, pretending you're some place more romantic.
5. Snatch Some Zzzzs.
While those hardback airport chairs may not be the ideal place to sleep, you can always scour the airport for something more comfortable, and bigger airports will have stores that sell blankets. If you're really stranded, consider checking into a nearby hotel. Some airports even provide small rooms in terminal, equipped with a bed and a flat screen for a minimum of four hours.
6. Workout.
Sure, you've probably tried powerwalking through the terminals before, but how about heading to an actual gym? Ask airport workers for recommendations, or check AirportGyms.com for listings of gyms in or near your airport. Don't worry. They've got showers, and some of them even provide extra clothes.
7. Head to the museum
Many airports house museums with hands-on exhibits, though they do tend to be mostly flight-centric, so if that's not your passion, make it so. Fast.
8. Shop.
From duty free to luxury goods, many big airports these days are the equivalent of upscale malls. If you know you have a long layover, plan to indulge in a little retail therapy.
9. Use your smartphone to your full advantage.
Your smartphone is really your best friend in the airport. Use your device to research airport facilities and potentially rebook your canceled flight over Twitter (which sometimes has faster customer service response times than the traditional routes) or just do it yourself on the airline site, checking with your trip insurance provider to ensure they'll compensate you. You'll also want to download your airline's apps or an app like Trip Tracker to keep abreast of the latest changes. Or, use your smartphone to give up on the whole flying concept and book a car, bus, or train.
10. Explore the region.
When you know you'll be stuck in the airport for awhile, turn your idle time into an excuse to see some place new. Most airports are well-connected to cities via train, bus or taxi, making it easy to bop into town for a good bout of exploration before continuing on to your real destination.
As aggravating as flying can be, it can also be an opportunity to relax. After all, how often do you have an excuse to just sit around and read? The important thing is to accept the situation for what it is, and then do what you can to make the most of it. So step away from the haggard airline representative, take a deep breath, and go for a stimulating ride on that moving walkway.

JACK COWAN: In politics, you can't always believe your eyes
SAN ANGELO, Texas - In handicapping the 2004 presidential race, I remember thinking that John Kerry had a clear edge over George W. Bush in the military flap that arose that summer and fall.
Republicans painted Kerry, who had been a Navy officer in Vietnam, as ineffectual and an opportunist; Democrats accused Bush, who served in the Texas Air National Guard, of being a near-draft dodger who escaped combat because of his family connections.
It got ugly, and both were unfairly smeared, but it seemed to me that when it all was boiled down the issue would help Kerry for one reason: He went to Vietnam and Bush didn't. Kerry was wounded and endured miserable conditions, and Bush lived safely and in comfort. I reasoned that would overshadow all the side issues.
But Karl Rove and the rest of Bush's re-election team essentially recast reality and in the end few would say Kerry came out ahead on the question of military service in the minds of most voters. Amazingly, being wounded and earning a Silver Star not only didn't work in Kerry's favor, as had historically been the case in politics, those things were reshaped into negatives.
Certainly there were other factors in that result, not the least of which was that nothing in Kerry's demeanor or personality in 2004 enhanced his campaign's effort to portray him as a war hero. Still, on an issue that should have gone the Democrats' way, it was the Republicans who won the imagery war.
The same thing appears to have happened again with regard to health care. Republicans are incensed over the central feature of the health care legislation signed into law in 2010 — the individual mandate — but that idea was hatched by conservatives and almost wholly owned by them 20 years before Barack Obama became president.
Market-oriented economists came up with the idea in the late 1980s as an alternative to Democrats' proposal for a universal single-payer health care system.
After the conservative Heritage Foundation embraced it, so did many Republican politicians, who wrote it into legislation in the 1990s.
Granted, those GOP proposals weren't as expansive as the one passed by Democrats and signed into law by Obama, but they did include what is now the unthinkable: a requirement that every American buy insurance.
Back then the argument was couched in terms of forcing people to accept personal responsibility. The idea was that others shouldn't have to pay for the medical treatment of irresponsible people who selfishly declined to purchase health care coverage and then were seriously injured or became gravely ill.
If there were objections at the time that the individual mandate wasn't a sufficiently conservative notion, they weren't raised very loudly. It's safe to say broccoli was never brought up.
Somehow the narrative today has turned everything upside down. Obama is trampling on individual rights by trying to force people to buy health insurance, and apoplectic conservatives are doing everything in their power to block the president's unconscionable assault on Americans' freedom.
Will the Supreme Court rule the individual mandate unconstitutional? Maybe. But if it had passed 20 years ago, would the issue even have come before the court? Probably not.
If an individual mandate is abhorrent on its face, how did it even get a second look from conservatives in the 1990s?
It is a testament to Republicans' political abilities that the individual mandate is now viewed as an outrage against American principles engineered by Democrats, that it is vilified lustily and without embarrassment by people who once would have done that very thing if they could have secured enough votes in Congress.
All this is not to say Republicans are awful and Democrats are wonderful. Hardly. Democrats try just as hard to distort reality for their political benefit — they're just not as good at it.

Shortly after making the SQL Server 2012 available for the general public, Microsoft also announced the availability of SQL Server 2012 Best Practices Analyzer.
Basically, this is nothing more than a diagnostic tool, which has been designed to perform a series of functions on SQL Server 2012.
The Best Practices Analyzer for Microsoft's latest SQL Server release was made available for download with support for both x86 and x64-based systems.
It was developed with support for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, and requires PowerShell V2.0 and Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer V2.0 to be installed in order to be used.
Some of the main features that the new tool arrives with include:
- Gathers information about a Server and a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 instance installed on that Server
- Determines if the configurations are set according to the recommended best practices
- Reports on all configurations, indicating settings that differ from recommendations
- Indicates potential problems in the installed instance of SQL Server
- Recommends solutions to potential problems
It is important to note that SQL Server 2012 Best Practices Analyzer was destined to offer scanning of both local computer and remote machines.
In both local and remote cases, the PowerShell settings should be modified. The changes support PowerShell remoting, and increase maximum number of concurrent shells for a user.
A series of commands will be executed on the machine where SQL Server 2012 BPA is initiated. The "Select to continue…" box must be selected to apply modifications. There is also the option to select Cancel to exit.
Through Enable Remoting using "Enable-PSRemoting", configuration actions to enable the machine for remote management are performed.
Some additional info on Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Best Practices Analyzer are available on Microsoft's website. The diagnostics tool is available for download from Softpedia as well, from this page.

It appears as if the 3 core locations of financial investment in advertising for 2014 are most likely to proceed to be Mobile and also Content Marketing as well as Big Data in several companies. One of the most considerable adjustment is in mobile marketing where there is a decrease in appeal, possibly proposing a realisation of the problem of motivating clients to purchase as opposed to internet browser through this network.
Conversion Rate Optimisation as well as Marketing Automation will certainly raise in financial investment because these are concerning procedure as well as boosting efficiency, so they could possibly provide reduced threat returns compared to various other tasks.
Considering that the primary first-class styles, the "Usual Suspects" are most likely to be comparable for 2014, this year it would certainly be intriguing and also better to pierce much deeper to view which particular electronic advertising innovations and also strategies will certainly be very important styles in 2014.
STRATEGIC Trends
Defining Future vision of "Modern" or Integrated Marketing
How Digital Marketing incorporates with various other advertising and marketing networks is the most significant obstacle of carrying out electronic advertising, more crucial compared to any type of methods for particular networks. It calls for leaders to specify a vision of exactly how stations will certainly incorporate as well as the change required in folks, procedure, metrics and also devices to maximize electronic advertising and marketing. In shorts, it requires a lasting approach.
Modern Marketing has actually been embraced by various other suppliers such as Oracle/Eloqua with the "Modern Mark" character which is a cool tool, however I directly do not like "Modern Marketing" as a tag because it's a tautology– present advertising and marketing is constantly contemporary as well as its not detailed! Rather I favor to believe of exactly what's required for Digital Transformation to Integrated or Multichannel advertising … Still, it's far better compared to a straightforward vision on Inbound Marketing which does not stress the requirement for assimilation.
Managing efficiency vehicle drivers via development hacking
Development hacking is a principle from start-up organisations that is being used even more to bigger organisations in 2013– some also have Growth Hacker in their Job Title. Digital marketing experts might understand it as CRO- Conversion Rate Optimisation, but it's wider compared to this, taking a look at examining different company designs and refining Product providing as well as Pricing versions too.
CXM: Investment in Marketing Personas and touchpoint satisfaction mapping
Modern Marketing naturally focuses on the customer as well as we've seen more focus on use of Customer Personas to help here as part of Customer Experience Management. Our customer persona toolkit is among one of the most preferred functional resources on Smart Insights.
In 2014, the trend to managing the total customer experience to continue. CXM signifies a change from a concentrate on User Experience and functionality of the first touchpoint to broader touchpoint mapping throughout consumer trips and through the customer lifecycle consisting of evaluation of post sales assistance and customer care.
Increase in micro-targeting making use of paid as well as had media
As we've stated in our once a week informs, 2013 has actually viewed a development in targeting choices in each of Facebook (e.g. Promoted Posts, Custom Audiences, FBX), LinkedIn (Sponsored Updates adding to targeted advertisements) and Twitter (Keyword, Interest, Device and Geographic targeting of Promoted posts), these have given many more options to target the user particularly on mobile devices where most of social media sites communications happen today in lots of customer markets. Anticipate to view lots of business will certainly be screening as well as refining these targeting alternatives in 2014. Will certainly we advertisement targeting alternatives in Google+?!
Trend 6: Use of adscription designs to examine media efficiency
We have actually assessed various media adscription methods for numerous years now, yet they were never ever going to be widely adopted until free tools were available as Google has now done via Multichannel Funnels.
Google's earlier advancements to bring customer touchpoint point modelling to the mainstream have actually been contributed to in 2013 by the brand-new Attribution Modeling Tool and also its Customer Journey Mapping standard.
Mobile customer online ad investment
Google as well as Facebook behaved in 2013 to improve their advertisement earnings from consumers utilizing mobile tools, this was a significant risk to their profits design. Google's brand-new Enhanced AdWords projects have actually had a huge effect on CPC (for instance, Greenlight has actually viewed a 30 % boost in CPC given that Google's Enhanced campaigns) were introduced.
SEO Signals = Content, author and outreach quality
Search proceeds to be a major driver of visits, leads and sales for most businesses, so it's important that business, or their agencies are on top of the current adjustments in the Google formula. I advise these 10 trends from the Search Engine Journal recap for the best sensible assistance. You can consider the Moz ranking aspects, yet this is a lot more technological, much less functional.
