This suave mauve from Down Under is difficult to describe and easy to love!
Robert Oster is an employee favorite here at Anderson Pens. With a huge assortment of ink, there’s a color for everyone. Plumb Nut is a mauve coral pink that is a unique and pleasant color. Robert Oster ink comes in a 50ml round and tall plastic bottle. A label on the cap is hand-swabbed, allowing you to easily see which color is inside. This review was done with a Pilot Prera F, Platinum 3776 B and on Rhodia blank No.18 paper.
Plumb Nut is a high-shading ink, and has a similar appearance in a fine and broad nib. The ink has a general mauve appearance, but it’s hard to put your finger on the color. At its lightest, the ink is a light rose pink. From there, it shades to a rouge salmon color. The darkest the ink gets is a rich rosewood color. The ink is very matte, and didn’t display any sheen.
Robert Oster inks almost always perform well, and Plumb Nut is no exception. The ink had good flow with no feathering or bleedthrough. Plumb Nut is a low saturation ink with good dry times at 15-25 seconds. While the ink didn’t have any water resistance, clean up was easy.
I didn’t think I would like a pink ink as much as I liked Plumb Nut. It is an intriguing color that is easy on the eyes – and easily legible. While it isn’t appropriate for all workplaces, it’s a nice color for all your other writing needs.

@Erik - The feature is actually ready to go but we are waiting to release a number of other new features at the same time. Shouldn't be too long now.
Why is this immoral? $25 is the lowest amount to select when we add a post and it's a price a lot of us can't afford. Unless he is accepting an offer of $25 and then saying he'll only pay $5 once the post is published I'm not sure what the problem is. I can only afford $10 but I also have to say that I'll accept offers under $25 when I place my post as to say otherwise is against Post Joint's terms of service.

See, like many of you, I didn’t grow up in a family with a lot of money.
I suppose I should give her a break — she’s just trying to connect with some children — but I find this offensive. No one in America faces the kind of poverty that poor children face in the third world. Michelle Obama comes from a working-class family without many luxuries, but with food on the table. For these children, her upbringing would be like winning the lottery.

It's here once again: the world famous Wenonah 4th of July Parade. The theme of the parade this year is "All Things Wenonah!" Holy Trinity is one of the things that makes Wenonah special, so let's honor the church, the town, and the country as we march in the parade!
We need your help! It takes many people to make our parade participation a success--folks to carry the banner, to throw out candy to the kids, to give dog treats to the pups, and to pass out flyers for Holy Trinity. Everyone is welcome to participate. Contact Ben Maddison or sign up online for more details.
Please wear red, white, and blue!
We hope you'll come out and support Holy Trinity in this 63-year Wenonah Tradition.

I've been using this color for over 10 years now. This color is the main color I use when I do a day time/night time brown smokey lid. This color is also perfect for highlighting because it isn't too shimmery and it has a perfect hint of iridescent colors with golds yellows and adds a great effect to your lid.
I love all mac products. I think they're mac up looks the best and feels the best. Their mac matte lipsticks look the best on me. They last forever and really a need to make your make up and look have that special pop. I love using the dark matte lipsticks in fall and winter they really make a difference.
I've been using this for years now. I am OBSESSED. I use this after my foundation, bronzer and I use it on my cheekbones and it gives such great dimension and contours my face so much. It is not a really pinky pinky barbie color, it's a perfect natural sweet soft pink which isn't over powerful to the rest of your makeup. I'm pretty fair skin and I use it and love it and my sister is constantly stealing mine and she's the completely opposite color of me she's very deep oil skin tone and gets extremely dark and it still looks amazing on her. This product is a MUST HAVE you literally won't regret it.
Garnier nutrisse is my go to for when i need or want to dye my hair black. This is the absolute only black hair dye that doesn't fade in my hair within a month. Given if you dye your hair black it will be extremely difficult and hard to change if you use this product, but that's what I need and want when I want to dye my hair and keep it black. I have tried so many brands and most will dry my hair out, smell so horrible dying it and leave my hair that way for a few days and have a disgusting lingering smell but this one doesn't. It's easy to apply and covers everything even if you aren't that good at applying it to yourself.
I literally have about 8 of their lip balms. They are such a cute design, the smell of the different lip balm flavors are AMAZING. I use this product numerous times throughout every single day. I have an addiction applying it to my lips. My lips feel so great after I use it and not to mention the smell just makes me feel so good about myself. My lips haven't been dry or cracked like it normally happens to me when the weather starts getting colder. I've been using eso lip balm and products for over 3 years already and I have no desire to change that.

How was your weekend? I spent most of the weekend indoors looking at vacation pictures. On Thursday we got about a foot of snow. It snowed again on Sunday and boy at that point I was really starting to second guess my decision to not relocate in 2012. Don’t get me wrong. The snow looks so beautiful all nice and fluffy. It really makes for some great family pictures. However, have you tried driving in that stuff? If you’ve never driven in the snow it is not fun at all. Every time I have to drive in the snow. I think about the time I asked my mom to go somewhere when we had a snow day and she was like heck no. Sigh, as a mom, I’m the same way, LOL. The fewer people that don’t like driving in the snow off the roads the better. Anywho, this week I had planned on making ziti twice. The plan was to make two batches at once and freeze the other batch. I opted to make the baked tortellini instead. This week I also decided to keep it simple. I wanted to create meals that if need be I could cook them in the crockpot or make them in advance. I don’t plan on trying any new recipes this week. Maybe some desserts, of course, I’ll keep you guys posted. You also probably noticed that our sides are pretty much the same. I purchased a huge bag of veggies from Costco or Bj’s (I think it was Costco) and with every meal, we’ll have a side of veggies. Oh, how I’m looking forward to having fresh veggies from my garden. Also, if you’re wondering what I’m going to have to eat. When I make the baked ziti I will probably make myself a pan of baked ziti without the meat. I also have a few sweet potatoes on hand so I plan on trying a loaded sweet potato recipe. I do have to go to the store this week to pick up a couple of items needed. So I may purchase some avocados and have an avocado tuna bowl as well and maybe a bean burrito. Maybe need to share next week what I typically eat in a week. I know when I first started out as a pescatarian it was really hard for me to eat healthy because I would just go with the foods that I was used to eating like french fries, cheese pizza etc. Now I try to be little more adventurous and not eat the same ole unhealthy stuff.
I think it is so great that you plan your menu a week in advance. You have something to look forward to each day :) Great food choice, by the way!
I need to be better about my meal planning. I think it'd help save the stress I feel at the end of the day when I'm staring at so many unprepared groceries in the fridge!
OK can you ship me dinner every night please? Yum. I'm ready for some .
oh my perfect timing its lunch time here and am reading your meal plan :) yummylicious!
This is such a great idea. We struggle to stay committed to meal planning, but I feel like blog posts would keep us accountable and maybe give readers ideas for possible meals.
What a great idea to plan your weekly menu ahead of time. It certainly does make the week much easier. Out of curiosity, what makes the chicken legs the "best ever?" Cheers!

PHOTO CAPTION: Illustration of Tesla solar charging station.
HAWTHORNE, CA. - Tesla Motors Inc. unveiled a solar-powered charging station on Monday that it said will make refueling electric vehicles on long trips about as fast as stopping for gas and a bathroom break in a conventional car.
CEO Elon Musk said at a news conference at the company's design studio that the company's roadside Supercharger has been installed at six highway rest stops in California.
The innovation is "the answer to the three major problems that are holding back electrical vehicles, or at least people think are holding back electrical vehicles," Musk said before a curtain was lifted from a giant model of one of the devices. "One is this question of being able to drive long distances conveniently."

There is a nearly unbelievable amount of uncertainty and confusion out there in the news, in the alternative media and "real life". I immediately do not trust anything that the mainstream media says and have all but completely eliminated watching or listening to what they broadcast. But now I am seeing more and more conflicting information and opinions about current event and interpretation of signs of the times. One of my trusted sources says one thing and another of my trusted sources says the opposite. It is very hard to know which one is right or at least the most correct. If you feel the same let me say to you, don't be discouraged. There are many of us out there feeling the same.
Our topic this week on PrepperCon Radio is the first mission of PrepperCon, which is: Prepare. (Prepare, Protect, Survive, Thrive) With such a broad topic I feel that it is essential, first of all, to identify your beliefs. When you have cemented your well thought out beliefs in writing you can then better determine your course of action and priorities of how you will then prepare. It is the "Why" that drives us; that gives our preparations purpose. We can then determine the "How" to prepare and the "What" to prepare with. These same principles that were written about by Simon Sinek don't apply exclusively to the sales profession. "Start With Why".
I have compiled a list of things that I believe, that have to do with our current time and situations. They are in no particular order. Let me also say that what I believe on certain topics may change from time to time. No this does not mean that I'm a flip-flopper but rather that I have received more information or had more time to consider the information and facts and have changed my opinion on the subject. If any of you have a problem with that, tough.
1. First and foremost; I believe in God the Eternal Father, and in his son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. This one does belong at the top of my list.
2. I believe that God has lead and guided me along this long, crooked and bumpy path to where I am now. Sitting here, writing this post, realizing that very few people may ever see it, but that I am trying my best to fulfill my calling in life.
3. I believe that the Constitution of the United States of America is an inspired document, written by men inspired by God.
4. I believe that America is a blessed land. For those who are righteous, obedient to God's commandments, we could not live in a better place. If you are against God, this is the worst place you could live. Because America is a blessed land all those those who do not obey God's laws will be wiped off the land.
5. I believe that the US government is corrupt. This includes the courts and many law enforcement agencies and 'alphabet soup' government agencies. However, I do believe in being subject to them... up to a point.
6. I believe that these days are the "end of days". That the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ is very near. I believe in the prophecies in the scriptures concerning the events that will take place prior to His 2nd coming.
7. I believe that the bankers and the wealthy ruling elite are running, controlling and manipulating governments, politicians, corporations, etc. I believe that their intent is to control the entire world with their "new world order" plans including agenda 21 and other treaties and secret combinations you may have heard of, and to establish a single world currency.
8. I believe that the bankers and wealthy ruling elite (or whatever else you may call them) will not succeed with their plans. They are not taking into account the events that will surely happen before the coming of Christ which will foil their plans. The more and more you look and investigate the deeper the rabbit whole goes and the darker the outlook is for mankind. I believe that the only way to return to a Constitutional Republic is for all things to collapse and foil the plans of the evil ruling world elite.
9. I believe that rights are given by our creator and not by government including the right to defense of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as acknowledged by the 2nd amendment.
10. I believe that we are responsible for our own happiness and prosperity and that I am not entitled to anything that I have not earned for myself.
11. I believe that knowledge is power.
12. I believe that we don't have much time left to prepare.
I could continue to go on and list my beliefs. Indeed I may come back and add more in the future but these are some of my core beliefs which cause me to do what I do.

lowercased:
there is a nearly unbelievable amount of uncertainty and confusion out there in the news, in the alternative media and "real life". i immediately do not trust anything that the mainstream media says and have all but completely eliminated watching or listening to what they broadcast. but now i am seeing more and more conflicting information and opinions about current event and interpretation of signs of the times. one of my trusted sources says one thing and another of my trusted sources says the opposite. it is very hard to know which one is right or at least the most correct. if you feel the same let me say to you, don't be discouraged. there are many of us out there feeling the same.
our topic this week on preppercon radio is the first mission of preppercon, which is: prepare. (prepare, protect, survive, thrive) with such a broad topic i feel that it is essential, first of all, to identify your beliefs. when you have cemented your well thought out beliefs in writing you can then better determine your course of action and priorities of how you will then prepare. it is the "why" that drives us; that gives our preparations purpose. we can then determine the "how" to prepare and the "what" to prepare with. these same principles that were written about by simon sinek don't apply exclusively to the sales profession. "start with why".
i have compiled a list of things that i believe, that have to do with our current time and situations. they are in no particular order. let me also say that what i believe on certain topics may change from time to time. no this does not mean that i'm a flip-flopper but rather that i have received more information or had more time to consider the information and facts and have changed my opinion on the subject. if any of you have a problem with that, tough.

Popcorn is surprisingly a healthy snack for kids! It’s in fact 100% whole grain. It’s high in antioxidants, high in fiber, and still low in calories.
Consequently, we’ve been eating a lot of it, and so we decided to try different toppings and seasonings. Of course this one is a keeper! We call it Apple Pie Popcorn, and we usually serve it in round dish.
In small bowl, mix together spices and sugar.
Combine popcorn, dried apples, and pecans.
Dump sugar-spices over popcorn mix, and shake to coat.
This delicious snack will arguably become a number one favorite on your kids’ list of healthy snacks soon enough! It is easy, fast and fun, and for this reason will be requested over and over so try it tonight!
LOVE popcorn! I’m usually a purist when it comes to popcorn and just a little butter and salt is perfect for me, but, when I want something a little different, some freshly grated Parmesan on top gives it a great flavor hit. A little goes a long way too.
Good idea to go with a machine if you like to make a lot of popcorn. It’s the healthiest way to go. Your recipe sounds really delicious.
How unique and delicious this looks. I have been trying to eat healthier and provide my family with healthier options and found this healthy way to prepare chips and oh how I love chips. I add herbs and some sea salt and they are tasty.
I have gone through your whole site. Tremendous recipes are presented which I love to make at home. Thank you so much for sharing such nice recipes here.
Love to add whey protein isolate to my morning breakfast.
wow, sounds so yummy! i love our popper and popcorn is a snack we all enjoy in our house too!!!
Maybe I’ll have to invest in a popper. I do the microwave paper bag thing, but the yield isn’t great! We end up re-popping after the first round since there are so many unpopped kernels.
This really sounds delicious! It is filled with such healthy ingredients!
What popcorn popper do you use?
I use a regular air popper just from the drug store!

Bhagwat had made the statement at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s three-day lecture series in September this year.
“Hindu Rashtra doesn’t mean there’s no place for Muslims. The day it is said so, it won’t be Hindutva any more. Hindutva talks about Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” Bhagwat had said.
“We had joined the RSS 52 years ago considering it to be a Hindu organisation. But now we feel it is only concerned with the interests of Muslim community,” Togadia added.
He said that instead of demanding a temple be constructed, the RSS chief should “order” Prime Minister Narendra Modi to get the government to enact a law in Parliament to pave the way for a Ram Temple.
He also accused PM Modi of “appeasing” Muslim community and going back on the promise to build a Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
“When it comes to the SC/ST Act, Modi says Parliament will decide on the matter and not the courts. But when it comes to building the Ram Temple, Modi backtracks and says the courts will decide on the issue and not Parliament,” Togadia said.
Speaking about the Antarrashtriya Hindu Parishad (AHP), an outfit he formed after quitting the VHP, Togadia said the organisation would pursue “Hindu politics”.

Addis Fine Art gallery continues its programme with a solo exhibition of works by multidisciplinary artist Leikun Nahusenay (b.1982), featuring works in photography, painting, mixed media, and sculpture.
Process and Progression is a retrospective of Nahusenay’s work over the last 16 years. Though wide-ranging in his choice of medium, Nahusenay’s exploration of the Himeme Siqlet, a sacred Ethiopian Orthodox text, is what grounds his seemingly disparate pieces together, through its evocation of the world’s opposing forces (light, dark; flesh, spirit; good, evil) and the futility of their reconciliation.
Using the checkerboard motif that appears throughout his work, Nahusenay probes the Biblical passage, which illustrates the drunken gambling and revelry that took place underneath the cross during the Crucifixion. Using rows upon rows of black and white squares and etchings, he takes this meditation to a more secular context, as the alternating squares sinuously trace the calm repose of a woman seated behind a café table, clasping her mobile phone.
In his photography, the use of double exposure, collage, and scratch-and-peel methods allows Nahusenay to create irreproducible, dreamlike worlds in which the spiritual ostensibly strains against, and spills into, the physical. The ghostlike rendering of a busy street scene hollows out the solid but battered exterior of a green and yellow public bus, in turn allowing us a glimpse into its inner function. A colorful market scene curdles and coagulates—its participants juxtaposed against the raw grains they will soon consume.
Nahusenay’s fascination with life’s cyclical nature, and its expression in physical spaces, is evident throughout the collection. Informed by the simple yet layered, circular structure of a traditional hut, Gojo Bet (2000) one of his earliest works, features interposed cardboard shapes, each of various textures, sizes, and shades of taupe, suggesting movement, and a certain playfulness of perspective. This playfulness seeps into other pieces where Nahusenay quite literally offers us a window into a dark, tenuous landscape, albeit through the protective shield of a woman’s shawl.
Leikun Nahusenay was born in 1982 in Addis Ababa. While primarily identifying himself as a self-taught artist, he nonetheless completed his art degrees from the Ale School of Fine Arts (2006) and Teferi Mekonnen School (2011). His multidiscipline practice is based in Addis Ababa, where he works from the Nas Gedame studio. He is also a member of the Netsa Art Village and contributes to the growing Ethiopian art scene. His work has been shown at numerous exhibitions, including Addis Calling Group Show, Addis Fine Art (2016), Flying Spoons sculptural exhibition at Asni Gallery in Addis Ababa (2015), Draw Me A Castle, Alliance Ethio-Française, Addis Ababa and Paris (2011), Future Makers international group photo exhibition at the National Museum of Ethiopia and Goethe Institute (2012) and The Fine Line Between, Lela Gallery (2008). Recent solo exhibitions include Child Art 1, Lela Gallery, Addis Ababa (2011), Cartoon Relief Sculpture at Grazmach Tasse Cultural Centre and Trinity at Alliance Ethio-Française, Addis Ababa (2009). He took part in the fourth annual Photographer’s Portfolio meeting at the Bamako Encounters Biennale.
Founded by Mesai Haileleul and Rakeb Sile, the Addis Fine Art gallery addresses the limited number of international art enterprises in Ethiopia, as the country experiences resurgence in artistic expression and appreciation. The partners bring a high level of expertise to this establishment. With over 20 years of local and international experience between them, the new gallery is well positioned to promote the work of an impressive roster of artists both in Ethiopia and abroad. Located in the heart of Addis Ababa, Addis Fine Art will be a hub for an innovative arts programming, including: exhibitions, lectures, and events showcasing modern and contemporary artists from Ethiopia and the Diaspora.

We run around looking for the ideal gift – often times stopping in multiple stores until we find the exact pie server that Mama described – and invest countless hours into perfecting our home's Christmas decor. We finish our gifts off with large, silken bows, and send timely thank-you notes post-festivities. If you're a gift-giving perfectionist, you've likely run into a few guests on your list that are particularly hard to shop for – and this holds up your whole Christmas schedule.

If you type the words ‘I met with’ into a Google search, in Ireland at least, an obliging or very prescriptive algorithm will add the words ‘Napper Tandy’ immediately. I haven’t tried this in the UK, the USA, Uzbekistan or the Falklands so I’m not quite sure if it works there as well. Maybe if you’re listening on the web you might give it a try and get back to us.
All of which goes to show that Google has obviously engaged the services of a number of Irish Republican algorithms, because the phrase ‘I met with Napper Tandy’ comes from one of the great rebel tunes The Wearing of the Green. The song starts with the patently ridiculous assertion that ‘the shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground’, goes on to claim that there is a law against ‘the wearing of the green’ – presumably it was just out of fashion at the time – and goes on to observe that ‘I met with Napper Tandy and he took me by the hand and he said ‘How’s poor old Ireland and how does she stand’ – which scans very badly indeed as you have to extend the ‘how’ to a ‘how-ow’ to make it work.
The song was a Dublin street ballad about the failure of the 1798 rebellion and the bloodletting that followed. The version that includes the reference to Napper Tandy was written by the playwright Dion Boucicault for his 1864 play Arrah na Pogue, set in Wicklow during the United Irishmen’s insurrection of 1798.
But who was the remarkable Mr. Tandy?
Well, like a lot of the United Irishmen, James Napper Tandy was a Protestant, Irish Republican revolutionary, born in 1739 who went to the same Quaker school as Edmund Burke. He became a Dublin City councillor, railed and fought against municipal corruption, and advocated an Irish boycott of British goods in retaliation for tariffs and restrictions imposed by the British government on Irish products. Except, of course, they didn’t call it a boycott back then because he didn’t happen for another century or so.
In 1784 he became involved in a major spat with the powerful Irish Attorney General John Fitzgibbon. Fitzgibbon, provoked by Tandy’s support for parliamentary reform, accused him of being unable to pay his debts and of being responsible for riots in Dublin . Tandy, in response, took out an advertisement accusing Fitzgibbon of lying. It was tantamount to challenging the Attorney General to a duel. Just in case Fitzgibbon didn’t get the message Tandy strapped on his sword and paraded up and down College Green, in front of the Irish parliament building. Fitzgibbon haughtily chose to ignore the challenge on the basis that Tandy was ‘not a gentleman’. Ouch!
Tandy was always to the fore when it came to radical causes, he was, for example, strongly influenced by the ideas of the French Revolution, and equally supportive of the American colonists in their struggle for independence. In 1791 he, along with Theobald Wolfe Tone, became one of the founding members of the Society of the United Irishmen. None of this endeared him to the authorities and in 1792 he fell foul of his second top lawyer, John Toler, the Solicitor General. Toler made a reference in a parliamentary debate to the fact that only Tandy’s own mother would have found him physically attractive. [Based on the attached portraits you can decide for yourselves!] Rather than issue a challenge, which Toler indicated in advance that he would be happy to accept, Tandy sought an explanation for the derogatory remarks. His fear was that, as the insult had been made under parliamentary privilege, if he fought and won a duel against Toler, he would be sentenced to death for murder. The episode did little for his reputation until the issuing of a challenge led to Tandy’s arrest. He ended up spending barely an hour in jail but his brief inacareration went some way towards rehabilitating his reputation as a radical firebrand.
He also had a short career as an architectural critic, albeit more muscular than the current Prince Charles, when he led a mob against the building works taking place at the new Custom House, designed by James Gandon. This particular riot was conducted on behalf of the inhabitants of the area around the older model whose trade would be affected when the new building was finally commissioned. Later, fearing arrest for having taken the oath of the Catholic secret society, the Defenders, Tandy fled to the USA. When he fetched up in Boston the Freeman’s Journal waspishly noted the fact and warned the people of the city of the imminent threat from Tandy of ‘plague, pestilence and sedition’, suggesting that he was capable of some primitive form of germ warfare while rousing a mob to violence.
Tandy returned to Europe in 1798 and was all at sea during the United Irishmen’s rebellion, having been given command of a French ship which landed in Donegal. It left rather hurriedly, without achieving very much, after the defeat of General Humbert’s invading French force in Mayo. He was later arrested in Hamburg and handed over to the British authorities. He was sentenced to death for his brief Donegal vacation but was freed under pressure from Napoleon Bonaparte himself, and fled to France.
Radical United Irishman, James Napper Tandy, who never quite managed to fight a duel with anyone very interesting, died of dysentery in Bordeaux two hundred and fifteen years ago, on this day.

An OAP who loves penguins was given a pppppick-me-up by care home staff – who invited one in to meet her.
Annie Thelwell, 92, always wears a penguin pendant and has filled her memory box with photos of the birds.
She said she’d always wanted to meet one of the friendly animals – so carers organised one to pop in.
The hand-reared penguins turned up to surprise Annie and other residents at Mountbatten Grange care home in Windsor, Berks.
The two Humboldt penguins were brought up at Heythrop Zoo and are friendly and relaxed around humans.
Originating in South America, the Humboldt penguins are used to warm weather and can adjust to different environments.
Charlie and Pringle live in a specially-constructed enclosure at Heythrop Zoo, which includes a swimming pool, a pebble beach and a penguin house.
The pair regularly meet new people and attend workshops and educational talks all around the UK, aiming to raise the general public’s awareness of conservation matters.
Mountbatten Grange Home Manager, Saad Baig, said it was “incredible” to see Annie’s reaction after she wished on the care home’s wishing tree to see the birds.
He said: “We always like to go the extra-mile for residents here at Mountbatten Grange, and make their wishes come true, no matter how small – or unusual.
“We managed to keep the visit a complete surprise, so it was incredible to see her light up when they waddled into the care home.
“They are truly wonderful creatures and it was a fantastic moment for everyone involved.
“The penguins were so friendly, and we know just how beneficial animal therapy can be for older people, especially for those living with dementia.

The ever-changing world of digital marketing, combined with declining demographics, has created a perplexing time for those working in higher education enrollment and marketing. To help marketers keep up with these changes, Elliance created "Inbound Marketing Flashcards, a Full Deck of Insight".
This free resource, the first of its kind, is an easy way for higher education professionals to keep up-to-date with the most innovative ways to attract more right-fit students.
Since inbound marketing is a relatively new concept, this website serves as a primer to show all the components in an easy-to-use format. It includes five sections; audiences, strategies, tactics, tools and ROI, so those working in higher education marketing can understand how inbound marketing works.
The Inbound Marketing Flashcards cover such topics as, how and why colleges should create audience personas, why storytelling should be used in marketing materials and why analytics are one of the most powerful tools in an inbound marketer’s toolbox.
In the past, universities would market to the masses; purchase lists of thousands of potential students, use billboards, commercials and direct mail. Inbound marketing is a more personalized approach and it turns marketing into more of a match-making game instead of a numbers game. By sharing valuable content with potential students, the potential students learn the brand essence of the college.
"Inbound marketing addresses three key factors of the admissions funnel," explains Abu Noaman, CEO of Elliance. "First, it brings more right-fit prospective students to your website. Second, these prospective students are more likely to apply and enroll. Third, schools will have a better chance at retaining these students."
The growth of inbound marketing started when Google changed their algorithms. Suddenly, everything marketers knew about being found on the web changed; enter inbound marketing. By continuously creating relevant and high quality content, such as social posts, blog posts, videos, infographics and white papers, the content creates strong, authentic connections with prospective students. All of this content draws people to a website, hence the name inbound marketing.
"We will continue to add new flashcards as the industry evolves," Noaman adds.
Elliance, a Pittsburgh-based marketing agency specializes in branding, results-driven web sites, marketing and enrollment campaigns. A few of the colleges and universities that have turned to Elliance for assistance with their higher education marketing efforts include Saint Leo University, Carnegie Mellon University, St. Edward’s University, Appalachian Bible College, St. Norbert College, Pepperdine University, University of Pittsburgh, and many others.
