The type of business card you should use depends on your business and the look you need to have. If you own a nightclub you need something very modern and eye catchy. If you are a lawyer, then you need something that looks very serious, uncoated and in a paper that has some feel to it. In the end, people judge you and your business by the look of your marketing materials.

What you never want to do is print your own business cards out of your home printer. It will show that they are very low quality, flimsy paper and make you look unprofessional.

Something like that would kill your credibility and your professionalism goes out the window. With any business no matter if you are a professional in business for yourself or a big corporation; you always want to look as established and professional as possible.

driving lessons

The learner driver industry is hitting the road with digital transformation!

Pearl Boyd

Recently I had the opportunity to present at the ADTA Annual Driver Trainers conference in Sydney on “placing your business in the digital era”. Being privileged to represent Queensland as an Advance Queensland Digital Champion, this was a great opportunity to create more awareness of “going digital” to solo driving instructors and driving schools. It comes down to a change in mindset about how we do business. Gone are the days of pen and paper and ticking boxes. The digital era is here. Learner drivers who have been born with technology expect the ‘customer experience’ they are used to in every other facet of their lives when they book driving lessons.

A perfect example of digital solutions, which I mentioned to driver trainers at the conference, is the new innovative e-learning program, PrepL. Developed in collaboration with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads by Croomo (a pioneering technology company, Brisbane based).

driving lessons

The new program, PrepL, is intended to replace the current 30-question paper-based written test for a class C learner licence. By focusing on developing safe behaviours and attitudes, it will ensure new drivers know the road rules and understand the impact of the Fatal Five.

You’ll be able to access PrepL at any time, on a compatible smartphone, tablet or computer. You will be able to complete the program at your own pace, and you will not have to come into a Department of Transport and Main Roads customer service centre to do the test or pay to re-sit the test if you fail.

PrepL is currently in pilot phase, being tested by 300 students in 6 schools across Queensland. The PrepL pilot will run from September to December and will aim to be available to all Queenslanders in early 2018.

As a driving instructor, myself, I understand first-hand how important it is that learner drivers have a good attitude when learning to drive and understand the consequences associated with driving. The PrepL e-learning programme will play an important role in preparing learners. We, as driving instructors have a role to teach learner drivers these same attributes on the roads in a practical situation. I regularly ask my students for feedback and their views are that the shock-tactic graphic campaigns for road safety no longer have an impact. The timing is ripe for a change in the way that learner drivers approach learning about road rules and road safety.

Summing it up, RACQ spokesperson Lauren Ritchie said the Club welcomed the move to modernise road safety education. “Moving away from the old written test and to an interactive online course is a sign of the times and a great initiative,” Ms Ritchie said. (source: RACQ)

As the Founder of YLOO (You Live Only Once), an innovative automated digital end-to-end business platform designed for driving instructors, we welcome the move towards modernisation as well. YLOO is currently being beta-trialled with driving instructors in Queensland and will be available in early November 2017, with the FREE YLOODrive app being available to learner drivers to book and manage their lessons online 24/7 in real-time. We see YLOO as revolutionising the driver trainer industry and enabling driving instructors to go fully digital a.k.a online, with very little effort or cost. My mission is to add real value to a driving instructor’s business life as sometimes their real value in the education and training that they provide to learner drives goes unnoticed. With the world around us is changing at an unprecedented rate like we’ve never seen before if we as driving instructors don’t make changes in the way we do business, we will get left behind quicker than we think.

YLOO aims to bring about a strong sense of “partnerships in driving” by keeping parents in the loop throughout the learning process with a driving instructor. Feedback from parents and students about the benefits of the information flow has been enormously positive. With the YLOO App being released to learner drivers in November, we believe that YLOO will connect learner drivers with instructors easily through the app.

As with PrepL, we believe that YLOO is also a world first. YLOO provides a niche digital platform for the driving industry together with allowing easy online bookings and payments for learner drivers. So pens and paper are out for young Queenslanders! The opportunity for Driver Trainers is at their fingertips, to say goodbye to manual systems and embrace how technology can add value to their business lives.

What to Do With Your Teeth Whitening Kit

Pearl Boyd

Are your discoloured teeth eclipsing your beautiful smile? Have you noticed lately that your teeth are stained due to prolonged usage of caffeinated beverages, alcohol, and smoking? Sunshine Dental Group in Melbourne offers teeth whitening treatment to restore the shine and dazzle back to your smile.

Consult with your dentist. Your dentist can provide a thorough assessment and determine the best course of treatment for you. Your dentist will take into consideration several factors like the causes of discolouring or staining or your teeth, your overall lifestyle, examination of your gums and teeth to determine their healthiness. From there, they will determine if teeth whitening are the most ideal solution for you.

Ideally, your teeth whitening treatment will commence in a dental clinic. However, with an increasing number of people preferring teeth whitening treatment in the comfort of their homes, your dentist can offer home teeth whitening kits customised for you. This kit offers you the flexibility of doing your whitening treatment at your preferred time. These home teeth whitening kits are a great option for people wanting to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their homes at their own leisure time.

Your dentist will take moulds of our teeth and create custom fitted trays for you. Along with your customised teeth mould trays, you will be given a whitening gel as well. Your dentist would thoroughly explain the working of these trays to you and resolve all the doubts you have. The home teeth whitening kits are fairly simple to use. All you need to do is fill this teeth mould tray with the whitening gel each evening and wear this tray for about 30-45 minutes depending on the intensity of your treatment. The duration of this treatment is usually for 2 weeks; however, it can vary a bit depending on the intensity of the treatment.

A lot of over the counter teeth whitening options are available these days at the pharmacy such as whitening toothpastes, teeth trays and gels. Toothpastes can help eliminate the stains, but they are not as effective as the teeth whitening gels. Over the counter whitening gels might contain harmful chemicals like hydrogen peroxide that might cause harm to the teeth and gums. Over the counter teeth trays are not custom made but are one size fits all, they might result in patchy colouring of your teeth if it does not fit perfectly. Very often the home teeth whitening kits purchased online do not publish their ingredients. Using such kits can be harmful to your teeth.

Why Your Child Should Learn About Robotics

Pearl Boyd

What is a robot anyway? Most seem to agree that a robot is a physical machine, programmed to perform specific tasks on its own. From self-driving cars to the mechanical arms building them, robots are all around us. As our dependence on them grows, so does the demand for those who program them.

This is why introducing robotics to children at a young age gives them such an edge later in life in terms of finding a successful and sustainable career. In celebration of the National Robotics Week, we wanted to share why we think getting an early start in Robotics is a good idea.

The importance of having a background in robotics is becoming more and more important. Since the invention of the first industrial robot in 1954, robots have grown to be pivotal in the manufacturing industry. Now, recent reports say it is possible that by 2030, robots will have replaced nearly one third of the workforce in the United States! This means that job opportunities in robotics are only increasing.

One of the most effective things you can do to ensure your children are well-equipped for the future is through robotics and STEM education. Given that only 35% percent of high school in Texas offer any kind of coding or robotics, a parent’s best bet it to look to afterschool and summer camp programs, where kids can start to develop valuable skills early on in life.

Aside from the cool ones on TV and in the movies with lazers, robots help us humans in more ways than we can count. Being familiar with how robots work early will lead countless opportunities down the road! after school programs pflugerville tx.

Armored Vehicle Rental – The Top Five Things to Know

Pearl Boyd

If traveling to an area of increased risk, or the risk level is due to the VIP traveling it is important to consider three things.

  • Use Trusted providers:

Once a vehicle has been armored its driving characteristics can be affected. Armor plate can weigh a lot, although most IIIA/B4 armor is normally quite manageable. Braking distances and acceleration can be affected, also you must take into consideration armor may make the vehicle more prone to roll over. Therefore it is important to ensure the vehicle has been professionally fitted and had suspension and brakes modified. Other modifications to insist on include the use of ‘run-flat’ tires. Use security companies that you can trust and have proven experience in the theater of operations.

  • Blend In:

It is strongly advised that any armored vehicle is of low profile and that your use of an armored vehicle hire united arab emirates uae dubai is not common knowledge. ETS can provide low profile executive, sedan, SUV and Sprinter type vehicles in various countries throughout the world.

  • Identify What level of Armor You Require:

There are multiple ratings of armor, and each will have varying levels of effectiveness against different ammunition, and explosives.

  • Security Drivers are Vital:

Armored vehicles are vulnerable if trapped and cannot escape the immediate threat. As with all security proactive action and avoidance is key. Well-trained security drivers, with evasive and defensive driving skills and with excellent working knowledge of local roads are invaluable. If an incident occurs drivers must react immediately to extricate the vehicle from the immediate threat. Armored vehicles are only designed to take a certain number of shots in one location before they fail

  • Use as Part of a Comprehensive Approach:

Armored vehicles are but one tool in a comprehensive security repertoire. They are utilized to provide an extra layer of security during ground transportation. They should, however, not be overly relied upon and not used at the expense of other security procedures. If the assessed risk determines that best practice is the utilization of armored transportation (accurate risk assessments are key to any security plan) then journey management planning and the potential use of Executive Protection Officers should also be considered as part of an integrated security plan.

Example:  Venezuela, Caracas – In 2014 a German Businessman was traveling from the airport to a Central Caracas 5 star hotel in an armored vehicle. Assailants followed him, waited until he exited the vehicle and attacked him in the lobby of the hotel – killing him in the process of a failed protection effort by his unprofessional local security team.

Choosing the Right Armored Vehicle Rental Provider:

It is vital to use trusted suppliers with vetted resources that have been utilized prior and have proven capability and experience in that country and city. Security plans have multiple tiers and start at the very beginning with accurate risk assessments. Make sure that your provider is asking the right questions, risk assessments should be utilized by the security provider to design best practice methodology. Certain situations may require armored vehicles and local security teams to work in unison.

How to Get Rid of Soreness and Keep Training to Get Fit, Lean, and Strong

Pearl Boyd

We have all experienced that one workout or game that left us completely out of commission. The constant aching in our bodies makes it hard to move and is not a pleasant feeling. So what do you do? Below are a few tips to help you get over the soreness day a bit quicker. A personal trainer in Richmond Fitness Centre can give you helpful tips on this matter.

Foam roll

Grab a foam roller, or any stiff tube-like object, and get rolling! Foam rolling is like a self-massage with hopes to loosen up tight muscles. Roll slowly over top of sore muscles until the soreness decreases or goes away. A personal trainer in Richmond Fitness Centre can show you how to use a foam roller.

Light static stretches

Performing light stretches of the muscle generally alleviates the dull pain that comes with delayed onset muscle soreness. Going through these stretches also help with increasing a bit of range of motion as well. A personal trainer in Richmond Fitness Centre can show you a few stretches for soreness.

Rake leaves

General movement, but light intensity, is probably the best way to get through soreness days. Light movement moves blood into the muscles, delivers nutrients and eliminate wastes from the muscle. Be sure the intensity is low so that the soreness feeling is kept down.

Marketing For Gyms

What Potential Clients Look for in a Fitness Marketing Website

Pearl Boyd

With all the different gym services out there right now, most people like to check the websites of local fitness centers to find one that is right for their needs. Since customers rely so heavily on fitness marketing websites to make their decision, having the right site can help to attract plenty of customers to your business. An effective gym website will always contain these categories.

Services Offered by the Fitness Center

One of the key sections in any fitness marketing website will be the types of services a gym offers. List all of the tiers of membership along with their costs and the benefits you get with each tier. Also, include the types of fitness opportunities your company provides.

Clients are interested in finding out about things like weight lifting machines, cardio machines, and free weights. Be sure to include every service offered, even small ones like tanning beds or working televisions. People who are thinking about visiting your gym want to learn what types of things they can get when they go to your location.

Schedules and Descriptions for Gym Classes

If you offer any sorts of classes at your fitness center, be sure to include these on your website. Classes normally require enough details to be their own page instead of simply being included on the gym’s website. People like to see which days of the week classes are offered on so that they can decide if the classes fit their schedule before they join the gym.

It is a good idea to include the name of the class, the name of the instructor for the class, the prices, the dates, and what sort of activities are included in the class. A good format can be a monthly calendar that lets you click on the name of each class for more information.

A Frequently Asked Questions Section

Often called an FAQ section, this is an area where you will list out common questions that people have and then provide a quick answer to them. Be sure to include questions about when you are open, the age limit for your center, the types of machines you have, and anything else you notice a lot of people asking about.

Having an FAQ section is helpful to both you and your customers. Potential clients will like it because they can quickly and easily get answers to questions they probably have. It will also be useful for you because you will not have to spend time answering the same questions over and over again.

Fitness Marketing

Customer Testimonials

At your website, you should have a client feedback section. You can post a form for customers to fill out and possibly post some of the good reviews for others to read. Having reviews are important for a number of reasons. Reviews let potential customers know that others enjoy spending time at the gym and using the fitness services there.

Having a spot that asks for reviews on your website also boosts your business because it signifies that you care about what customers think. Potential clients who see your website asking for feedback will feel like your gym cares about a positive customer experience.

Information About Trainers

Most of the people checking out a gym’s website will be those who do not have a lot of experience with working out in gyms. For these sorts of clients, knowing that the gym has trainers can be quite reassuring.

Include a section that lets the customers know how many trainers you have and what areas of fitness the trainer specializes in. If possible, provide a list of prices and trainer contact information. This will let people email or call trainers to ask about the possibility of scheduling a meeting at your gym.

Conclusion

Remember that your fitness marketing website does not just need to contain this information; it also needs to make it easy for customers to find the information. Instead of jumbling up all of these categories on your website, cleanly divide them into sections that can be accessed by clicking a clearly labeled title on the gym’s homepage or menu. Having an informative and accessible website will help your fitness center appeal to new people who might be interested in signing up for a membership.
