General Discussion / Tenant screening
« on: May 14, 2012, 08:13:35 pm »
Knowing where to find tenants is one
of the trickiest parts of getting your
property rented. The truth is, in order
to find a tenant for your property, he or she has to be able to find you!
Potential tenants need to know that
you have a vacancy available. Since
people look for rentals in all different
places, it’s important that you
advertise your property in a variety of locations as well. Here are some ways to advertise your
rental property to ensure the greatest
number of people have the
opportunity to see it. Advertise on Rental Websites Since so many people use the internet,
it is a great way to reach the masses.
Sites such as Craigslist.com allow you to list your rental property based on
location, making it easily searchable.
In addition, there are many state
specific sites where you can advertise
your property. Gardenstateapartments.com, for example, caters to the New Jersey
market. You can do an online search
to find a site that targets your
particular area. If you are interested in accepting
government subsidized housing,
including Section-8, sites such as Socialserve.com can help you reach this market. Of course, if you have
your own website, make sure to list
the property there and be sure to
reference your website URL in your
other ads. Use Social Media to Find Tenants Millions and millions of people use
social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. If you have a company, you should create a Facebook page and a
Twitter account for it. If not, you can
use your personal Facebook or Twitter
account to let people know you have
a property for rent. You can list your
property on Facebook.com’s marketplace, post a status update on
your account, or send out a tweet to
your followers via Twitter. Advertise in Print Media Many people look for rental properties
in the newspaper. Aim to advertise on
the weekend, and in particular, on
Sunday because this is when
newspapers see the most traffic. You
will only have a few lines to make your property stand out, so make them
count. Use abbreviations for words
like bedroom (BR) and washer/dryer
(W/D) to save space. Placing an ad in
the newspaper will cost money, but it
is another way to increase exposure for your property. Advertise on Local Bulletin Boards Put up flyers in the community where
your property is located. This can
include bulletin boards at grocery
stores, churches, Laundromats, and
bus stops. Since people will be passing
by the flyer quickly, use a bold headline and large, color photographs to draw interest to the flyer. On the
bottom of the flyer, include tear-offs
for people to take. These tear-offs
should include the property address,
the number of bedrooms, and your
contact information. List Your Property With a Realtor in
Your Area For their services, brokers typically
charge a commission of about one
month’s rent, sometimes more. You
may want to interview two or more realtors to find the one you are most comfortable listing your rental with.
While this may be the most expensive
way to advertise your property, it can
save you a lot of the hassle and
headache of dealing with potential
tenants. Your property will also be listed on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), which will increase exposure. Find Tenants Through Word of
Mouth Don’t underestimate the power of the
spoken word. If you have current
tenants, let them know you have a
vacancy. They may have a sister,
cousin, or brother who is looking for a
new place to live. Also, tell your brother, sister, hairdresser, boss, and
mechanic that you have a property for
rent. Always have flyers with you so
you can hand them out when needed.
You can offer a referral fee to give a
greater incentive. Place a ‘For Rent’ Sign in the
Window While you won’t reach the masses by
placing a “For Rent” sign in the
window, there is no harm in doing it
either. A passerby may be interested
or may know someone who is looking
to rent in the area. Make sure a phone number is clearly legible from street
level. Find Tenants by Offering Incentives People like the idea of getting a deal or
a discount. You can offer a free TV or a
discounted rent if a tenant moves in by
a certain date. A $250 television may
seem expensive, but if you’re
charging $950 in rent, and the TV gets someone to move in a month earlier,
you are actually saving yourself $700,
and the television will be a tax write-
off for the rental property. Answer the Phone/Email Promptly
and Be Ready to Show the
Apartment Don’t wait a week to respond to a
potential tenant. If you don’t call or
email a tenant back promptly, another
landlord or realtor will. If you do not
want to give out your personal phone
number, you can set up a free Google Voice account which will assign you a new phone number that can be set to
ring to your existing phone lines. For a
small monthly fee, you can even set up
a toll free number, including voicemail,
for your rentals using websites such
as Kall8.com. Similar options exist for email. The point is, if you want to find a
tenant and get your property rented,
you have to make yourself, and your
property, available. Visit http://www.starpointtenantscreening.com . Best of luck. Thanks

General Discussion / shopping cart abandonment
« on: May 14, 2012, 02:14:23 am »
Recent studies indicate that 7 out of 10 online shopping carts are exited
before a sale is completed. This
abandonment rate seems to be rising,
as online shoppers become more
comfortable comparing prices and
other product or service attributes. SeeWhy, a website conversion service, reported that shopping cart
abandonment rates rose from about
71 percent in mid-2010 to 75 percent
by June 2011. These figures are much
higher than the rates of about 46
percent that Forrester Research reported in early 2010. In the past, each cart abandoned was
seen as a sure sign that a sale had
been lost, but this may not necessarily
be the case. “Shopping cart abandonment is an
important part of the normal buying
cycle for many customers and for
many types of purchase,” wrote
Charles Nicholls, founder and chief
strategy officer for SeeWhy in a whitepaper on the topic. “This leads to
the conclusion that abandonment,
rather than being a rejection of the
brand’s value proposition, can be a
step in the decision process for some
buyers and for the majority of purchases. This is visible in the way
that some customers will come back
multiple times as they consider the
purchase, storing items in their
shopping carts as ‘wish lists.’” While it is important to remove barriers
to completing the sale — these
barriers are often things like price,
shipping rates, user experience, trust,
or even having to deal with a multi-
page checkout — online retailers may also want to reinforce the buying
decision, welcome returning
customers back, and being patient
about all of those abandoned carts. 1. Support the Buying Decision Encourage the shopper to return and
make a purchase with remarketing
and emails. If, as Nicholls suggests, shopping cart
abandonment is part of a natural
buying cycle as shoppers either take
time to consider the purchase or
compare prices, then marketers will
want to assure shoppers that buying the product and buying it from the
marketer's company is a good choice. There are a few tactics that can help. Remarketing seeks to show shoppers
display advertising after they have left
a site or shopping cart. Specifically, a
shopper who abandoned a cart may
start to see remarketing ads from the
store on other sites. Google AdWords, for example, makes remarketing
relatively easy. Marketers place a
conversion code on key pages,
prepare remarketing ads, and those
ads are shown across the Google
AdWords network, encouraging the shopper to come back. SeeWhy found that this sort of
remarketing boosted eventual
conversions by 18 percent. “This reinforces the need to follow up
immediately on abandoned shopping
carts since it’s clear that a customer’s
interest in making a purchase goes
cold fast,” Nicholls wrote. It may also be a good idea to email
cart-abandoning consumers shortly
after they leave a site. As an example
Bronto Software, an email-marketing
platform, found that about 13 percent
of leading brands emailed a shopper within three hours of a cart
abandonment. Collecting an email address early in the
checkout process means that the
retailer may email even an
unregistered shopper, asking, as an
example, if there was a technical issue. 2. Welcome Returning Shoppers Show a returning shopper the cart or
product front and center. If a site recognizes that a particular
shopper is visiting for a second time, it
can be a good idea to show that
shopper a larger than usual link to the
cart or even place products from the
cart directly on the landing page. SeeWhy estimated that roughly 90
percent of online sales conversions
come from shoppers already familiar
with a site. 3. Be Patient Keep abandoned shopping carts
active for at least 60 days. The longer a virtual shopping cart sits
empty, the less likely a shopper is to
return, reclaim it, and make a
purchase. With this in mind, some sites
have a tendency to clean up
abandoned carts frequently. There's little reason to do this. Virtual shopping carts do not typically
consume much memory and,
generally, have little impact on site
performance. SeeWhy suggests
keeping a cart active for at least 60
days, giving remarketing campaigns and email follow-ups time to work..visit http://www.barilliance.com/shopping_cart_abandonment

General Discussion / retractable screen door
« on: May 06, 2012, 06:54:42 am »
A screen door can refer to a hinged storm door (cold climates) or hinged screen door (warm climates) covering an exterior door; or a screened sliding door used with sliding glass doors. In any case, the screen door incorporates
screen mesh to block flying insects
from entering and pets and small
children from exiting interior spaces,
while allowing for air, light, and views.
For the purposes of this article, a retractable screen door will be considered to be
the latter type used with a sliding glass
door.visit here http://www.plissescreen.com
