When it comes to that all-important online ranking and improving your customer engagement, creating effective partnerships and localising content are both essential tools. These aspects form part of the digital strategy implemented by Dickon Connolly, Hotel Search Director here at hotel marketing agency Journey, when working with clients. He shared some of his knowledge for you.
In today's digital world there are far more many considerations than ever before for the hotelier when it comes to marketing their hotel. With the far reach of online there is the push and pull factor of local versus out of town visitors, as well as firstly getting a prominent online ranking, and of course all the rest of the concerns that have faced every hotelier throughout the ages.
Localising your content is a key method when it comes to achieving these goals. Not only does localised content give you the motivation to create partnerships within your locality it gives you lots to say on your website, which in turn helps your SEO and online position, is an attraction to local and not so local guests and allows you to create fantastic packages – therefore improving each stay.
In a recent Lionbridge survey, a majority of industry professionals surveyed identified the importance of localisation. Over 90 per cent of respondents localise their product and services pages, understanding that optimising this information for local markets makes their content more impactful.
This can be applied to many forms, from localised landing pages, marketing assets, and press releases. Using this localised content allows you to speak to your selected target audience, about relevant, tailored campaigns, which is key to conversion rate optimisation.
But of course before hotels begin just creating this content there are some steps to take to ensure you get the most out of everything you do.
Marketing communications are far more effective when targeted, and businesses can do this by segmenting the clientele.
This is the process through which you divide your clientele depending on what they're looking for. Knowing whom you want to target should be a key part of any marketing strategy. Segmenting your audience will develop your communications overall, making it easier to personalise your content through localisation. It will also enable your business to target each person with the right information for them, therefore making them more likely to convert into a booking.
For example, if you are trying to promote late weekend deals, you'd be far more effective in marketing this to couples based within a 50-mile radius, rather than families based 70-miles away. Similarly, a family with two children would be more interested in offers during the school holidays rather than mid-week spa breaks, meaning a conversion is now far more probable.
Identifying the people you want to talk to online is being made easier with tools like Google Analytics, allowing you to make insights on your target audience.
Before any hotel business begins to create local content it must be clear about the identity of its own brand and how this sits within the local area. Is it in keeping with the landscape of the area, or does it stand-alone? Has the hotel got a history tying it to another building or business? Is it somewhere lots of people in the local area work or may have frequented at some point in time? The answers to all these questions, and many more, will help to create the local content.
Local partnerships will also play a big part when it comes to creating engaging and developing content. And whether your hotel is part of a national chain or an independent hotel, making small changes locally can have an impressive effect on the success of your campaign.
Forging connections with local organisations is a worthy outreach opportunity, and can be of great mutual benefit in terms of sales and PR as well as giving substance for content. Local businesses can be a valuable market to be involved in, whether it be hiring function rooms or hosting Christmas parties.
Further to this, linking with a local brand or organisation with help to cement your own reputation and give you another channel through which to share your business. They will engage with you on social media, possibly promote you through its own business communication, such as email mail outs, as well as give you the chance to share their product with your own guests. This could give you the opportunity to create a unique offering and will definitely allow you to provide something you couldn't before.
All websites have landing pages and local landing pages are key when it comes to localised content.
There are some key pieces of information to include when creating a local landing page, these include; name, address and contact details, which should link direct to an email or phone, a Google map, information on your product and a few images, calls to action, testimonials and if possible badges of trust associated with your business.
Other aspects to consider include key words in titles and in the content, as well as developing a page with the business title in the URL.
This is the major part of this strategy, but there are many ways to create local content for your website. Of course blogs are a great way to create good quality content, which features important and interesting information on your business, which is updated on a regular basis and provides and opportunity to engage with those local partnerships.
Other popular methods of creating engaging content include local guides. Strava, the running and cycling GPS Tracker app, has fantastic local guides for its members, whether on bike or on foot. These guides feature local information which changes day to day, such as the weather and cumulative totals of its members in terms of miles run or cycled each day in that locality, as well as routes – so maps are essential here, images shared by people on those runs and a break down of what they include. On top of this pit stops also feature, giving Strava the perfect in with some business to create those important partnerships.
Listicles, or articles consisting of lists, are ever popular when it comes to local content, with both businesses and news outlets adopting them. Take BuzzFeed, its endless lists, eg 22 products you and your BFF need in your lives, are total click bait. They encourage people to your website, so make that local. How about, top 10 things people that grew up in Cheltenham remember about the Queen's Hotel. This is a way to create local content that will engage with local people.
Follow a strategy in launching your content, promoting using segmented data and targeted advertising, and measure its success. It's important to follow these steps so you know what has worked for your business. Has it driven traffic – and most importantly has it encouraged conversions? And if it has worked for you, report that and repeat it, continuing to create on-going localised content.

Manchester City's Manuel Pellegrini: Manchester United away is a must-win.. and we expect to win
Title-chasing Blues after more of the same after September's 4-1 derby rout while Moyes aims for rare win against one of top Prem sides

Turf war: Will Pellegrini's City complete home-and-away wins over Moyes' United? (Image: PA)

Manuel Pellegrini claims Manchester City travel across town to Old Trafford today expecting to win the derby.
United have won just once in 12 games against the Premier League's top nine sides this season, and defeat at home to title-chasing City would put manager David Moyes under renewed pressure.
Moyes admits he cannot afford another defeat and has called on his United players to deliver a big scalp in the form of their local rivals to restore some pride to the outgoing champions in his troubled first season in charge.
But Pellegrini said: "It's very important to be a consistent team from now to the end of the season, starting against United.
"We also expect to go and win there, but not just because United have had a difficult season. If we play a good game, of course we have the chance to win it."
City humiliated United 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium earlier this season and against that backdrop Moyes admitted a sixth Premier League defeat at home this season would be a disaster.
"We want to try to perform better in the bigger games than we have done," said Moyes.
"We want to win them all, but I think it's important for us to show the level of what we've got and I think we've got the level.
"We're not as far away as many people would have us. I've got no doubt it will improve and I want us to show we're still in there fighting.
"I think the fans know exactly where we're at just now. I think they know exactly where we're going and exactly what the club's plans are.
"There's been other clubs recently that have had to go through periods of change and their supporters have had to do the same."
United have already dropped more points at home than in any other Premier League campaign and are on course for their lowest points total since the league was revamped back in 1992.
Moyes revealed his frustration at the setbacks he has endured in his first season at United since succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson.
Man City v Man Utd
"They've definitely hurt," said the Scot. "They've hurt more because I joined Manchester United with big expectations myself.
"I was coming to a winning football club, I've got a winning mentality and that's what I wanted to do, so I'm disappointed with myself and I'm disappointed that we've been unable to do that. But it's not for the want of trying, that's for sure
"You take the games when they come, but looking back we had Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City, all in the first five games. That hadn't been in Manchester United programme in the 20-odd years of the Premier League ever."
United will be without injured Robin van Persie and Moyes said: "It's a massive blow for us and it still looks like four to six weeks, that kind of period."
Who will win the Manchester derby?

Oscar wilde the young prince
It was the night before the day fixed for his coronation, and the young King was sitting alone in his beautiful chamber. His courtiers had all taken their leave of him, bowing their heads to the ground, according to the ceremonious usage of the day, and had retired to the Great Hall of the Palace, to receive a few last lessons from the Professor of Etiquette; there being some of them who had still quite natural manners, which in a courtier is, I need hardly say, a very grave offence.
The lad – for he was only a lad, being but sixteen years of age – was not sorry at their departure, and had flung himself back with a deep sigh of relief on the soft cushions of his embroidered couch, lying there, wild-eyed and open-mouthed, like a brown woodland Faun, or some young animal of the forest newly snared by the hunters.
And, indeed, it was the hunters who had found him, coming upon him almost by chance as, bare-limbed and pipe in hand, he was following the flock of the
poor goatherd who had brought him up, and whose son he had always fancied himself to be. The child of the old King's only daughter by a secret marriage with one much beneath her in station – a stranger, some said, who, by the wonderful magic of his lute-playing, had made the young Princess love him; while others spoke of an artist from Rimini, to whom the Princess had shown much, perhaps too much honour, and who had suddenly disappeared from the city, leaving his work in the Cathedral unfinished – he had been, when but a week old, stolen away from his mother's side, as she slept, and given into the charge of a common peasant and his wife, who were without children of their own, and lived in a remote part of the forest, more than a day's ride from the town. Grief, or the plague, as the court physician stated, or, as some suggested, a swift Italian poison administered in a cup of spiced wine, slew, within an hour of her wakening, the white girl who had given him birth, and as the trusty messenger who bare the child across his saddle-bow stooped from his weary horse and knocked at the rude door of the goatherd's hut, the body of the Princess was being lowered into an open grave that had been dug in a deserted churchyard, beyond the city gates, a grave where it was said that another body was also lying, that of a young man of marvellous and foreign beauty, whose hands were tied behind him with a knotted cord, and whose breast was stabbed with many red wounds.
Such, at least, was the story that men whispered to each other. Certain it was that the old King, when on his deathbed, whether moved by remorse for his great sin, or merely desiring that the kingdom should not pass away from his line, had had the lad sent for, and, in the presence of the Council, had acknowledged him as his heir.
And it seems that from the very first moment of his recognition he had shown signs of that strange passion for beauty that was destined to have so great an influence over his life. Those who accompanied him to the suite of rooms set apart for his service, often spoke of the cry of pleasure that broke from his lips when he saw the delicate raiment and rich jewels that had been prepared for him, and of the almost fierce joy with which he flung aside his rough leathern tunic and coarse sheepskin cloak.

Manchester United remain hopeful of keeping hold of Marouane Fellaini by convincing him to sign a new contract, according to reports in the British media.
The Daily Mirror is reporting that the Red Devils remain hopeful of retaining the services of the 30-year-old midfielder as they look to try and assemble a squad capable of winning the title next season.
Manchester United finished second in the Premier League table and without a trophy last season after they were beaten by Chelsea FC in the FA Cup final at Wembley back in May.
Fellaini's future at Manchester United has been a source of constant uncertainty because his current contract is set to expire this summer.
But the same story says that Manchester United are still keen on keeping hold of the Belgian midfielder, with the offer of a new contract remaining on the table.
Fellaini has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent days, although it is not clear whether there is any firm interest from the Gunners or not.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have already begun their summer recruitment drive by tying up deals for both Diogo Dalot and Fred last week.

Wecome to Liberal-land, U.S.A.
Two classes this semester—one filled with very liberal students (my Long Island Experience class); the other filled with a very high percentage of conservative students (my Rhetoric class). I gave an on-line Political Compass Test to the first group and they scored off the charts as having a left/libertarian bent. The latter group, which includes a high percentage of business majors, on the other hand, fought with me over the issue of the death penalty last class, not because they were opposed to the idea of execution, but because some of the students thought lethal injection was too kind. Not exactly a liberal stance to be sure!
Over the past four or five years, I've noticed that the college-aged students I teach are, in fact, becoming much more progressive overall. This is in keeping with nationwide trends that young Americans are moving to the left on many political and social issues. From my experience, the average college student today is extremely concerned about environmental issues, opposes any kind of discrimination on the basis of factors beyond a person's control (race, gender, sexual orientation), thinks that people should have the right to live any way they want provided they don't interfere with the rights of other people to do the same, generally supports the idea of universal health care, has a tolerant attitude towards immigration, believes that the rich control too much power in this country, and thinks government has an important role to play in promoting the welfare of its citizens.
This trend seems to suggest that conservatives will have a difficult time appealing to this generation, because their values are so at odds with those of most young Americans. Indeed, Barak Obama won the under 30 year old voting block by ridiculously high margins in 2008 and will probably do the same this time around as well. In short, the future bodes extremely well for the liberal-progressive agenda.
In the end, the conservative-leaning students in my Rhetoric class represent an anomaly among educated young people in the United Sates. Their views have probably been skewed living in a reactionary place like Nassau County, coming from conservative-leaning families, and having majors that promote a conservative world-view like Business, Law, and Criminal Justice. I have no doubt, however, that many of these students will probably see their views becoming more like the mainstream of their age-group once they leave home and get a first-hand perspective on just how unjust the world actually is.
So, I'm fairly optimistic about the ultimate triumph of the kind of progressive agenda that I've always supported. In another decade, the Eisenhower generation will be gone, and what will be left will be the Baby Boomers who grew up in the 60s and younger generations whose minds have been shaped by the best that the 1960s had to offer: a world-view that is tolerant, open to diverse ideas, committed to social justice, and dedicated to correcting the harm that has been done to our global ecosystems.
And what an amazing world that will be!
Yes, But What Does It Mean?
According to a recent report issued by the Mercatus Center, a libertarian-leaning think tank out of George Mason University, one-third of all Americans received some form of means-based public assistance, like Medicaid or food stamps, in 2010. The report then goes on to say that when Social Security, Medicare and unemployment benefits are included, nearly half the country—148 million Americans—were living in a household receiving some form of government benefits.
This comes at a time when less than half of all Americans are paying income tax.
It makes your blood boil, doesn't it? Just think about it: half the country footing the bill for the benefits of the other half; the industrious ones being crippled by onerous tax burdens to prop up those who are too lazy or stupid to take care of themselves.
The problem with this report is that Social Security, Medicare, and even unemployment benefits are not "gifts" from the federal government. People pay into these programs throughout the course of their working careers, and, therefore, they can hardly be considered government entitlements. So the 50% number is pure propaganda designed to enrage those who look for any excuse at all to bash any and all government programs—even successful ones like Social Security and Medicare .
This is not to say that we don't have a problem in this country, however. When one-third of the country is so poor that they require public assistance and when one-half of all taxpayers make so little that the government can't even tax them, that should concern all of us, because it means that our country is on an unsustainable economic path. The question is how do we interpret this data.
Economic conservatives like those at the Mercatus Center and the Heritage Foundation would argue that the size of the American government itself is the issue. They would probably maintain that government programs designed to assist the poor actually create a perverse incentive not to work, while at the same time penalizing those who are the most industrious in the country. The solution, then, would be to dramatically reduce the size of government, thus lowering taxes, giving wealth creators (i.e., the rich) more money to invest, and creating jobs for those Americans who actually want to work. To do this, they advocate privatizing some current government programs (Social Security, for example) and entirely eliminating other programs (Medicaid) and troublesome government agencies (The Environmental Protection Agency, among others).
Progressives, on the other hand, would interpret this data as evidence that the middle class is being squeezed economically to the point of oblivion and that our public policies, which are skewed in favor of the top 1%, are creating a nation of rich and poor. If 50% of Americans pay no taxes, they would argue, it's because they aren't making anywhere near enough to be taxed in the first place. Cutting government programs like unemployment benefits, Social Security or Medicare is exactly the wrong thing to do, especially at this time, they would argue, because all this will do is push more Americans into the ranks of the poor. Taking their refrain from Franklin Roosevelt, progressives would argue that, especially during difficult economic times (i.e., right now), what we need is an even stronger safety net reestablished for the most vulnerable Americans and large-scale public spending to stimulate the economy.
So what's the right way to interpret the data put out by the Mercatus Center? This issue, I believe, gets to the heart of politics in the United States. It pits those who believe that "government is the problem" (conservatives/libertarians) against those who believe that government has an important role to play in insuring that all citizens have a decent minimum standard of living and have access to those goods that are vital for human flourishing—employment at a living wage, adequate health care, and some degree of economic security in their old age (progressives/liberals).
So which side of this issue do you come down on and why?
March of the Crazies
As I was reading the New York Times on Saturday morning, I happened upon two stories that give a good indication of just how dangerous the reactionary right-wing in this country can be.
The first story has been all over the news this past week. The Susan B. Komen for the Cure foundation is one of the country's largest charitable organizations in the fight against breast cancer. You've undoubtedly seen their ubiquitous pink ribbons on the back on people's cars, and may have even given donations over the years to help this organization in its important work.
Last week, Komen, caving under pressure from conservatives who are determined to kill off Planned Parenthood, made an announcement that it would no longer be helping to fund Planned Parenthood's successful program of offering breast exams to low income women, because there was supposedly a question about whether they have used taxpayer funds for abortions (they don't and never have). Fortunately, the sane majority of our country was outraged by this decision, and Komen received a barrage of hostile emails from people who, not surprisingly, were disgusted by the politicizing of this issue. Reeling from public pressure, the Komen foundation finally announced that they would, in fact, be continuing to fund breast exams through Planned Parenthood.
The other story that caught my attention was one that hasn't been in the media much, but may even be more important than the Komen story. The Times reported today that over the past few years activists associated with the Tea Party have been using their clout to attack local programs to conserve energy, limit sprawl, and promote public transportation. Apparently, they view these green initiatives as part of a "United Nations-led conspiracy" to undermine the freedom of Americans to live as irresponsibly and destructively as they want. Although normal Americans might laugh off this type of activism as the by-product of the paranoid and delusional mindset of the typical Tea Party fringe lunatic, the protests that have occurred in recent years have actually caused some important environmental legislation on the local level to be undermined, according to the Times.
In a recent post, I argued that younger Americans are increasingly becoming more progressive in their politics, so you would think that the type of right-wing activism that is trying to kill off Planned Parenthood and eviscerate all decent environmental programs (not to mention deny women, gays, minorities, union workers, and immigrants their legal rights) would be doomed to fail. And, indeed, it will fail in the end. The problem is that the right-wing in this country is well funded, vocal, and highly motivated, and progressives, unfortunately, are not. In the short term that means that reactionaries like those who seek to cast doubt upon the reality of global warming, for example, can do a great deal of damage to our planet and the people who live on it.
Fortunately, progressives—and I speak of real progressives here, not Democrats, who haven't stood up for their beliefs since the time of Lyndon Johnson—are learning to fight just as tenaciously as their reactionary counterparts. The efforts to defund Planned Parenthood have failed so far precisely because people on the left were able to shame the Komen foundation. This shows that political overreach on the part of the right in this country can be thwarted, but it will take constant vigilance on the part of everyone who considers themselves part of the sane majority.
Rabid reactionaries may score some victories in the short-run: they've already succeeded in causing grave harm to an environmental movement that has been teetering on the precipice of irrelevance for some time now. But the future is not theirs. It belongs to those on the left who have the courage and conviction to stand firm during the dark times that are undoubtedly ahead of us.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip -- Made with Garbanzo Beans (And It's Good, Not Just Good for You)
Laura Gill
Laura Gill | May 3, 2012 | 12:00pm
Chow Bella shared this recipe on Pinterest a long time ago, before Pin Up Girl, on a board called "Dare you to try this."
At first glance, I couldn't understand the dare. What's so daring about cookie dough dip? But then I looked at the recipe...
What makes this rebellious is that this is a healthy cookie dough dip. It's so healthy that you could potentially eat the whole recipe and not feel like a complete loser. Indeed, you could even let your 5-year-old eat a bowlful and be all right with it. Which is why I'm all about it.
What makes this good for you is that the base of the dip is made with garbanzo beans! Yep, as in chickpeas. I know, I know. Yuck, you say. Disgusting! But it's actually really good . . .
And it really isn't as strange as it may seem at first. A lot of cultures use beans in dessert recipes. I've seen them on Thai menus, bean pies are fairly popular, and you've probably heard of black bean brownies. Plus, with over 600 re-pins, this recipe is becoming quite known itself.
There are two versions of the recipe and I've tried both. The sugar-free version uses dates as a sweetener whereas the regular version uses brown sugar. While they're both pretty good, I prefer using the brown sugar. It makes the dip taste almost exactly like cookie dough because it provides a slightly crunchy texture.
This recipe comes from the blog ChocolateCoveredKatie.com which is dedicated to healthy dessert recipes. It's worth checking out.
Here follows my adaptation of the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
Ingredients 1 can organic garbanzo beans, drained heaping 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon baking soda 2 tsp pure vanilla extract 1/4 cup almond butter 1/3 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Add all ingredients except chocolate chips to a food processor and process until smooth. Chocolate Covered Katie says not to use a blender. Mix in the chocolate chips. Eat by the spoonful and let me know what you think!

EAC calls for Kiswahili presence in Uganda
Bid notice from Ministry of Water and Environment...
IGAD to discuss South Sudan peace process...
By Petride Mudoola
Added 16th November 2018 08:00 AM
"It is unfortunate that there is slowness in implementation of the treaty that it is only Tanzania that has the Kiswahili Council but other member states are still failing to set up the facility which would be promoting the language," Simala observed.
PIC: Professor Kenneth Inyani Simala the East African Kiswahili Commission Executive Secretary makes a point as Kiswahili Regional experts listen attentively. This was during a meeting on the development of principles and guidelines for Kiswahili Training programmes held at the Inter- University Council for East Africa headquarters.( Photo by Petride Mudoola)
The East African Community Kiswahili commission has asked Government to harmonise the development and use of Kiswahili to ensure regional integration and sustainable development.
Professor Kenneth Inyani Simala the East African Kiswahili Commission Executive Secretary made this request while officiating at the Regional Kiswahili experts meeting held at the Inter- University Council for East Africa headquarters on Tuesday.
Article137 (2) of the East African Community treaty states that Kiswahili shall be developed as a lingua franca of the community to support sustainable development and regional integration unfortunately some member states have failed to adhere to the agreement.
Simala appealed to partner states to show commitment in promoting Kiswahili within the region.
"Each member state should be committed towards promoting Kiswahili. The language should be taught in primary, secondary and university level because teaching of Kiswahili is central to the harmonisation of education across the East African Community," Simala advised.
In Kenya and Tanzania, pupils are taught in Kiswahili, while English is taught as a mere subject; in Uganda, English is the major medium of instruction and Kiswahili is taught in a few schools while Burundi and Rwanda hardly have Kiswahili in their schools.
The late Eriya Kategaya the then minister of East African Affairs in 2011, issued a directive that by 2012, Kiswahili, as a language, be taught and examined compulsorily in Ugandan institutions of learning right from primary level.
Simala believes this initiative has been long overdue and that promotion of the Kiswahili language will not be limited to its practice but it will enable member states co-operate in trade, politics, media and the educational sector play its role as the regional lingua franca.
Kiswahili experts agreed that Kiswahili should be a major consideration in the efforts to harmonise education within the East African Community states, this they noted would promote peaceful resolution of conflicts, unity, life skills and economic growth within the region.
With a regional population of about 132 million people, the East African Community Facts and Figures report of 2009 estimated that the five member states occupy 1.8 million square kilometers.
Simala observed that, the regional population is a huge market and source of skilled and semi-skilled labour for the East African community unfortunately, Uganda may miss out on the job market since many of its citizens cannot speak Kiswahili.

I work with HSP adults with concerns about depression, anxiety, emotions, self-esteem, abuse and trauma, relationships, work, sexuality, creativity and spiritual matters. I am also an HSP.
My focus is on the strengths and challenges of highly sensitive, energy sensitive, and empathic persons. Self-awareness and acquisition of skills to manage symptoms of reactivity and hypervigilance often improve mood and outlook. Practicing strategies to protect our personal energy resources can prevent our being constantly drained by others. Learning to thrive, rather than just survive, in relationship with self and others brings us closer to our whole and authentic selves. My clinical training was in cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies, and in psychophysiology and drug abuse research. My approach reflects the Rogerian tenet that empathy is the healing ingredient. Decades working as a registered nurse have heightened my medical intuition, and so I can often also offer help with management of medical issues that affect well-being.

Scotty McCreery recently sat down to talk about what he's most looking forward to this Christmas. His wish list is, not surprisingly, humble. It's the simple joys of the holidays that the North Carolina-born singer says are his favorites come December 25.
In this video exclusive to Taste of Country, the 'See You Tonight' singer talked about who and what he looks forward to this time of year. Now on break between semesters at N.C. State University, the 20-year-old will no doubt be waking up in his own bed at his parents' home in Garner, N.C. Living the life of a normal college student is important to this star.


At a recent breakfast seminar we asked franchisors to share their experiences of franchisee recruitment marketing. We wanted to know where and how people were marketing and whether it was effective, and provide franchisors with tools and information to get more and better sales leads.
We asked franchisors what sources they found to generate the best quantity of sales leads: franchise-targeted traditional media, industry targeted traditional media, daily and local newspapers, online or word of mouth. We then asked which of these sources generated the best quality of leads, relative to spend.
Franchise-targeted traditional media includes magazines that have a target audience of people in the franchising industry. Industry targeted traditional media are those targeted at a specific industry – for example, a hairdressing franchise advertising in a hairstyling magazine, in order to directly and exclusively target hairdressers. Online marketing includes social media such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and blogs, online directories, and their own company websites. Finally, word of mouth marketing includes verbal referrals from influencers.
We also looked at research showing the degree of trust that the public place in particular types of advertising, including online banner advertisements, word of mouth, newspapers, billboard advertising and many more. This was presented as a percentage – so, 60% trust means that 60% of those surveyed trust 'completely' or 'somewhat' a certain form of marketing.
When asked to share which type of advertising generated the most, and secondly which type generated the best sales leads, most franchisors agreed that online channels generated by far the most leads and the best quality leads. However, collectively they agreed that the other advertising channels were crucial for driving online investigation. Therefore building brand awareness offline through print and other media was believed to drive people onto the internet where they investigate opportunities further and make enquiries.
Brand awareness is vital in building word of mouth marketing, and our research showed word of mouth marketing is worth working for, with 90% of people placing trust in recommendations from people they know. This was the most trusted form of advertising – far ahead of consumer opinions posted online, and brand websites, both with a 70% level of trust.
So, how can you maximise your marketing to take advantage of both print and online, and generate fantastic leads?
Online marketing can be daunting for some because it is an ever changing world. It pays to have an organised strategy. Focus on an end goal – usually, this is to drive people to your website. Many online activities are interconnected and when you know how to integrate them, you will save time and see results.
Create a strategy that incorporates all of your marketing activities – this might include advertising on radio or in franchising magazines, social media accounts like Facebook, in an online directory and distributing press releases. Assign a date or regular day of the week for each task, and make someone responsible to ensure the activity is carried out.
Write your marketing content with honesty. Give prospective franchisees a realistic insight into how your franchise business model operates, the type of skills required and what they will get out of running it – emotively speaking as well as economically. If you tell them who you are and what makes your business unique right from the start, your marketing will stand out and your sales leads are likely to be higher quality because you will attract people with a genuine interest in your franchise.
Regularly analyse which types of marketing are generating quantity and quality sales leads. Make sure to take into account the amount of money you are spending on each type comparative to the results. It's also vital to go deeper and understand how your different marketing strategies complement each other. Traditional media may be great for brand awareness and online may produce sales leads – this doesn't necessarily mean one would work without the other.
While most franchisors at our breakfast seminar agreed that online is the most effective form of marketing in generating both a high quantity and quality of sales leads for prospective franchisees, they also thought traditional media still has a place. Traditional advertising often generates awareness of your brand among industry and franchising and from there, people search online. So combine the two for maximum sales leads in your franchisee recruitment marketing.

Forced retirement appeal fails
A Supreme Court ruling in a key direct age discrimination case is a reminder to employers that a worker's age should not be "shorthand" on which to base their ability to do their job, says the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).
In the ruling, delivered on 25 April, the court dismissed an appeal by solicitor Leslie Seldon, a partner in the Kent law firm of Clarkson, Wright and Jakes, who was forced to retire when he reached the age of 65 in 2006.
At the time, the default retirement age (DRA) of 65 still existed – it was scrapped in October 2011 – but as a partner rather than an employee, this did not apply to Mr Seldon. However, 65 had been agreed in the firm's partnership agreement as the mandatory retirement age.
Mr Seldon – now 71 and still working as a notary – took his case to an Employment Tribunal, the Employment Appeal Tribunal and the Court of Appeal and, after losing in all three, to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court ruled that the retiring of partners enabled the firm to retain younger solicitors who might otherwise go elsewhere by opening up partnership opportunities and was a "legitimate" aim of the partnership.
However, the court sent the case back to the Employment Tribunal "to consider whether the choice of a mandatory age of 65 was a proportionate means of achieving the legitimate aims of the partnership".
John Wadham from the EHRC, which is funding and running Mr Seldon's case, said it was a reminder to employers "that a worker's age is not shorthand for their competence and should never be used in that way".
He added: "Every employer must think carefully about whether it really needs to have a policy that directly or indirectly discriminates against people based on their age. The court has made it clear that such policies must be justified on a case by case basis."
Barrister Caspar Glyn QC commented: "Any employer which still has a policy of compulsory retirement would be well advised to review this in the light of the court's remarks."
Employers may still be able to retire employees lawfully at a set age provided that the retirement age can be objectively justified "as a proportionate response to a legitimate aim".
According to guidance from employment relations specialist Acas, employers would need to justify such a policy by ensuring that the retirement age meets the legitimate aim test, for instance in workforce planning (the need for business to recruit, retain and provide promotion opportunities and effectively manage succession) or the health and safety of individual employees, their colleagues and the general public.

The year 2018 is upon us as we progress into regression. The violent and frenetic pace of life continues to take its toll on sacred values we once held dear Fortifying our continued archaic state of being. The greatest atrocities we hurl onto mankind is the quenching of the dynamic life. The dynamic life – violently and frenetically driven by eloquence – elegance – philosophy – theology and a powermad thirst for knowledge – is laid waste by mankind's regression in holding these sacred values dear. I was shown by a living legend the necessity of dynamics. Meaningless conversation is futile…Meaningless vision or strategy such as in chess – where even the mightiest begin with such a small seed in the humble pawn – meaningless movement will decimate a man without a proper foundation and the critical ability to strike at the right time….in the form of music….if you have something to say – with proper dynamics – one can expose every morsel of their soul – allowing a sanctuary for whom it is meant…a sacred temple where we meet – need not to converse – but allow mere tones the honor of storytelling….A boy tells this story of his father – his teacher – his guide…intertwined is the harmony and the dissonance – the adventure and the solitary – the schooling and the nurturing – the love and the longing – the call and the answer.
This is a portrait of my Dad – Iconic….

Cult Corner
CULT CORNER: Star Trek: First Contact (1996)
Dylan Spicer
Dylan goes back in time to revisit the Next Generation's best movie on its twentieth anniversary.
Who made it?: Jonathan Frakes (Director), Ronald D. Moore, Brannon Braga (Writers), Rick Berman (Producer), Paramount Pictures.
Who's in it?: Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, James Cromwell, Alice Krige, Alfre Woodard.
Tagline: "Resistance is futile."
IMDb rating: 7.5/10.
Going back to the Next Generation cast is a huge shock after the '09 reboot. It makes you realise that the Star Trek franchise has changed irrevocably since Picard and his crew first stepped foot on a starship. This isn't just a case of changing cast, but altering the tone, costume and visuals of the series to something much more like the original show. It's a barometer for how science fiction in pop-culture has changed as whole; what was once a zeitgeist of detailed and specific technology, languages and beliefs, has changed into something more fantastical and adventure-orientated. That's not to say sci-fi like Star Trek: First Contact isn't out there, but in terms of mainstream big-budget movies, this is from a different age. It is also one of the most-loved of the Trek films. The concept behind First Contact was even important enough to influence the acclaimed Enterprise two-parter "In a Mirror, Darkly," which perceived an alternate timeline with an evil Federation after humanity's first brush with extra-terrestrials. Of course, this is irrelevant for how the movie works on its own, so how does First Contact fare in terms of cinematic achievement?
The plot follows the crew of the Enterprise as they break orders to fight the Borg, the technological terror they faced previously in The Next Generation two-hander "The Best of Both Worlds," where they assimilated Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). When the crew sees them go back in time to change the world's history, they follow after them to the 21st century, the day before mankind first meets aliens. From there, it becomes a case of saving the Enterprise from assimilation, and making sure that First Contact actually happens.
As I said in my review of Wrath of Khan (1982), I've never been a Star Trek follower, and this movie throws you into the deep-end of the mythology. Whilst there is some backstory on how Picard was once a part of the Borg, we are never made privy to exactly what they are, why they are so close to Earth, and to be frank, what the Federation is. We get some knowledge of the characters from their actions, but no real idea of the structure and rank of the fleet. I do remember watching this at age nine and being a bit flummoxed by what was going on, and there must've been a lot of parents/girlfriends/boyfriends in the same camp. This is especially true as Earth is essentially destroyed in the opening few scenes. It's a huge event to happen before some of us even know who the characters are, and this makes what is essentially the apocalypse lose gravitas.
However, this is only a problem for the first ten minutes. Once the plot actually gets going, everything slows down and the main structure of the story is actually pretty straight. It's a relief when they head back to the 21st century and the world becomes more recognisable. From there, all of the elements start to play off each other well. The idea of going somewhere that is the past for the characters but the future for us is fun, and the Borg's plan does make sense. Although there are a lot of different subplots going on, they all work as they involve different crewmembers with very different motivations. As such, there really isn't one main plot device, only diverse themes. First Contact actually gains momentum as the plot goes on, when it could have easily run out of steam. The "time travel saves the world" plot expands into something much more interesting, and the "Borg Queen" (Alice Krige) stuff with Data (Brent Spiner) allows for some philosophical sci-fi subtext. Even the Holodeck scenes make for some interesting visuals, and a refreshing change in pace.
I always thought that the Borg were by far the most chilling adversaries in Star Trek, and here they look fantastic. The practical make-up effects and spooky performances make them feel like a formidable, unstoppable and genuinely alien threat. They raise the film up so much, and make it much more terrifying than, say, Malcolm McDowell with a big weapon (ahem). The make-up appliances for the crew slowly being transformed into Borg still look fantastic, too, and land smack-bang in the nightmare visions of the uncanny valley.
This is in perfect contrast to Zefram Cochrane (James Cromwell), the first man to meet aliens. He provides some much-needed warmth and light to the film, as well as throwing in an extra problem in his ill-refusal to face the future.
I still think there are some problems. For a lot of the running time, there is never enough emotion to signify that the world is under threat, that the crew are being turned into inhuman monsters, and that they get to travel back in time to meet the first people who greeted Vulcans. It is treated like any standard mission. I do appreciate that these are trained soldiers, but the lack of grief dissipates some of the tension. In many ways, these characters are so far ahead in the future, and so used to terrifying things, that they have become otherworldly to us. Just look at the scene where Picard walks through the Enterprise with Lily (Alfre Woodard), a character from the past, and see how she reacts. It's a shame they didn't play around with the similarities between the Federation crew's stoicism and the Borg.
This problem is solved in the last thirty minutes when the Enterprise is at risk, and the characters do start to crack in the last half-an-hour or so; we see the emotions that director Jonathan Frakes (Riker himself) should have pumped into proceedings from the start. First Contact really comes into its own in the last section, and the fact that it was unintelligible at the beginning is soon forgotten. The plot is both packed with information and moves very slowly. It could have done with ramping up its action scenes and letting the characters breathe more, because there are some genuinely interesting scenarios going on here which play spectacularly well. They deserved more time than they are given.
Though its not perfect, First Contact is a pretty tight piece of science fiction. It could do with another half-hour at the start to really develop the characters and the setting, as well as feeding my need for an emotional connection. It's fascinating to see it twenty years later in terms of how the franchise has changed. Also, the movie doesn't quite reach the epic nature needed to totally make it the definitive film of the television series, but it's a glimpse into a world of sci-fi films that is already gone. First Contact has more than enough going for it to deserve a place in Star Trek history. Those without any knowledge of the saga or science fiction in general may find it a difficult and rather unintelligible watch at times, but there are enough interesting sequences to make it a fun watch. Needless to say, massive fans of the series will find a lot to love here.
Best Scene
Despite all the majestic sci-fi and the epic visual effects, my favourite moment comes when Picard loses his cool when the ship is under threat.
Useless Trivia
(Via IMDb)
The character Zefram Cochrane was first seen in classic Star Trek episode "Metamorphosis" played by Glenn Corbett. There are differences between the original Cochrane and this character, most notably Kirk's identification of "Zefram Cochrane of Alpha Centauri?" but they are both noted space flight pioneers. This Zefram Cochrane role was actually written for James Cromwell. Tom Hanks was also considered for the role, but was unavailable as he was filming That Thing You Do!. Corbett could not reprise the role, as he died from lung cancer in 1993.
For inspiration prior to filming, director Jonathan Frakes says he viewed the films Alien, Aliens, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Blade Runner and Jaws.
Earlier drafts of the script called for the USS Defiant to be destroyed in the battle with the Borg, but screenwriter Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica) objected to the needless destruction of the ship from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in a story that didn't even involve the DS9 characters (apart from Lt. Commander Worf). It would also prove to be inconvenient for the television show, so the Defiant was eventually allowed to survive the battle.
When Dr. Crusher says "In the 21st century, the Borg are still in the Delta Quadrant", it was intended as a teaser for upcoming episodes of Star Trek: Voyager, in which the Borg were featured prominently.
Robert Picardo reprises the role of his holographic "Doctor" from Voyager in a cameo.
Was released the same day that Mark Lenard (Spock's father Sarek) died.

It seems every Friday, street racers head out to Hulhumalé to practice. I hear the car racers sometimes hire out a small landing craft to transport the race cars from Malé to Hulhumalé just so they can race on the deserted street expanse of Hulhumalé. It is good to see that these riders are wearing good protective gear from respected and reputed brand names in the field. And these guys ride fast!

Ballet for Martha

Appalachian Spring is a ballet about freedom and endless possibility…the joy and terror of the blank slate at the heart of the mythical American pioneering spirit. The story centers around a young, newly married couple and the building of a farmhouse on an open plot of land in early 1900s rural Pennsylvania. It's easy to sense a longing for a mythical America of wide open spaces, which had long vanished by 1944 when Aaron Copland and Martha Graham created Appalachian Spring. At the same time, the ballet explores universal themes. There is a tension between the freedom of youth and the grounding of experience. Here is how Copland described the piece:
The bride-to-be and the young farmer-husband enact the emotions, joyful and apprehensive, which their new domestic partnership invites. An old neighbor suggests, now and then, the rocky confidence of experience. A revivalist and his followers remind the new householders of the strange and terrible aspects of human fate. At the end the couple are left quiet and strong in their new house.
Last month I offered a few thoughts on the music of Appalachian Spring and a unique performance by students at the University of Maryland. Now let's watch a 1959 film of the complete ballet, featuring choreographer Martha Graham in the role of The Bride. Copland wrote the music under the working title, "Ballet for Martha."
Here is part 2, part 3 and part 4.
