Your White Rock Reporter Johan Sandstrom thanking you for your attention.

White Rock Polar Bear Swim 2012. “Cool, cold & brave tourists & residents made traditional plunge this very first day of the new year”.

This New Year Day’s White Rock event is a tradition taking place by the famous huge white rock located on the seaside and beach between rail road track and the water’s edge on the Marine Drive and promenade…just east of the White Rock pier.

A good guess really is that the number of participants this January 1st 2012 at noon time was larger than 2011.. This time the weather this blustery bright overcast midday with challenging temperatures, wind-chill factor and the icy cold easterly wind sweeping in on the Semiahmoo Bay and the public and swimmers became uncomfortable for some…

Geared for Growth

Surrey is British Columbia’s fastest growing city and Mayor Watts is proud to be a part of the development of this beautiful seaside oasis of 500,000 people. Coming from an architectural background, Mayor Watts spent nine years participating in and helping to direct Surrey’s growth as a member of the city council. When she was elected mayor in 2005, she knew that her inherent grasp of the future and detailed planning skills would serve her well.

Since then she’s been an advocate for change. Not change by the government for the government but rather change by the government at the request of the people. Her unique ideas concerning the city’s growing concerns about congestion and air pollution, the education system, and the shaky international economy may seem broad and sweeping at times but she’s never forgotten about the people for whom she is working.

The key to bringing Surrey and the surrounding areas successfully into the future lay in cooperation. By bringing multiple groups of people together with a common cause, Mayor Watts hopes that she can inspire people to take pride in and ownership of the city. Once people become invested, she hopes their excitement about changes to come leads to active participation.

But her team building spirit doesn’t stop with her own people. She continually reaches out to community leaders and individuals with the influence to make changes for the better. For instance, Mayor Watts is in constant contact with Catherine Ferguson, Mayor of White Rock, concerning plans about how the two cities can work together to prosper.

While it has been suggested that White Rock should once again be incorporated into Surrey (as it was until fifty years ago when Ward 7 officially became a separate legal and political entity), Mayor Watts is adamant that any merger must be made only at the request of the citizens of White Rock and that the needs of citizens of Surrey must not be overlooked during the process.

Some sticking points involve public services like the fire and police. While it makes financial and logistical sense to combine the services of White Rock (which currently has roughly 18,000 residents) with the much larger Surrey (500,000 residents), many of the entrenched leaders of those services don’t want to see their organizations dissolved.

Expanding Local Business Internationally

But the Mayor has a much wider field of view than just the greater Vancouver area. In order to open possible trade avenues with the goal of diversifying Surrey’s economy, Mayor Watts recently led a team of 34 individuals representing 24 companies from the Surrey area on a trip to India. While there, Mayor Watts facilitated discussions between Surrey business leaders and potential partners across the sea.

Surrey sits on the ocean and has a deep water port, a modern transportation system, and one of the lowest tax burdens in the greater Vancouver area. It is an area that is primed for international expansion. Mayor Watts hopes that by finding trade partners outside of the United States (which is responsible for the vast majority of Canada’s international trade) she can help not only solidify Surrey’s economy but help it continue the rapid growth it has recently enjoyed.

Handling Issues that Hit Home

Despite her international endeavors, local matters which affect Surrey residents are Mrs. Watts’ top priority.

She sees two fundamental areas in which Surrey can modernize in order to make life better for everyone: education and environmental consciousness.

Schooling is one of the most important factors in growing a successful city, maintaining a vibrant and thriving economy, and developing talent native to the area in order to benefit as much as possible.
Mayor Watts’ stance on the public school system is a bit forward and, at some times, controversial. She feels that the traditional school infrastructure (big, costly brick buildings that cannot expand or contract to fit population and budgetary needs) are outdated. Instead, Watts envisions a modular education system as the backbone of the Surrey of the future. By using modular school units (what some wrongly label “trailer schools”) the city can not only provide plenty of learning space to all of the students and teachers but it can do so cost-effectively. Mobile units are able to quickly relocate if the population of an area increases and the demand for classrooms follows. Conversely, if the population of an area declines, there’s no sense in having a massive brick building sucking up city funds when a modular school design could be minimized to fit the student body.

By spending less on the infrastructure of the school system Surrey could spend more on the quality of education, thus meeting and exceeding the needs of the students while maintaining a budget everyone is comfortable with.

It’s no secret that Surrey is growing and with that growth comes some pains. With an ever-increasing population comes congestion, traffic, and air pollution as the number of automobiles increases. One solution is mass transit. However, Mayor Watts feels that Surrey’s current mass transit system relies too heavily on fleets of buses. While better than individual automobiles for everyday commutes, buses themselves contribute to the congestion and air pollution rather than detracting from it.

A better solution would be to develop the city’s existing rail system, modifying it to better suit the needs of a modern world-class city. Though the process of increasing rail access points and broadening the system’s reach to allow more and more people easy access to mass transit (and thus the city’s center and everywhere in between) is an costly one, the investment will pay for itself multiple times over in the future.

Mayor Watts as a Role Model

With her sweeping and sometimes seemingly “radical” ideas it is no wonder that many people see Mayor Watts as a role model. She’s a very successful elected official who has been doing her best to improve the lives of the people of Surrey for over two decades.

However, becoming a role model was never her intention. In fact, it’s a term that is a little unsettling to her. In her eyes, she’s just performing a duty to the people who elected her to the best of her abilities. That tenacity and perseverance comes through in every aspect of her public life and that duty carries an almost sacred weight with her.

She has even put aside thoughts of a professional political campaign in order to best serve Surrey. While she hasn’t yet ruled out the notion of running for a bigger office sometime in the future, her immediate plans are to concentrate on her beloved city and continue to help it grow and adjust to an ever changing world.

As our technology has evolved, so have marketing techniques. As a result, now more than ever it is really difficult to reach out to new customers. The modern consumer is not only bombarded with ads on TV and the Internet, but they also have to worry about scams.

The advent of the Internet has been both a curse and a blessing. Hackers and spammers are around every corner it seems, and they have made it so that legitimate online entrepreneurs have a tough time doing business because many potential customers have been tainted by their practices. Currently, most of the consumers in the market are wary of everyone.

If you’ve met with resistance using old techniques, you might want to try out video email. Video email software, such as Talk Fusion, is a new way of doing things that often takes customers by surprise. If you’d like to send video email to reach out to new and existing customers, you may be wondering if it really works. Let’s see if it bears up under scrutiny.

What About Text-based Email?

To answer the above question, you first have to ask yourself, how has it been working out for you? It has its place for sure. I have been sending text based emails for years. But what if you could increase your conversion rate a couple of points by moving from text to video emails? It’s an interesting question.

With all the detritus online today, it’s no surprise that web surfers don’t read such emails and don’t click the links. The reality of it is that most such emails end up in spam folders and simply get deleted. So how should you get prospective customers to click the links in your emails when they are so apprehensive?

The Modern Solution

First, you have to come to grips with the fact that no one is going to cold click your links, so you might as well just stop doing that altogether. Instead of text emails, consider video email. Programs like Talk Fusion allow you to stick a video still in the email for potential customers to click on. When they do so, your full video opens externally for viewing.

Arguably, the best thing about Talk Fusion is that it was designed for us non-IT gurus. It is intuitive and made so that anyone who knows their way around a computer can figure it out. With even children nowadays habitually uploading cell phone videos to YouTube, there really is no excuse for such programs being hard to use.

Cost Analysis

Text-based email is pretty much free, that’s true. So maybe you are hesitant about the cost of video mail software. But, you have to think about what you are getting out of your old emails, which is probably not nearly what you could. So to give you more information, let’s explain the cost of video email software in more detail. To initiate your video email endeavor, you’ll need:

• BombBomb or InstantVMail (which costs $25 a month)
• GoToWebinar or WebEx (which costs $75 a month)
• TrafficGeyser (which costs $97 a month)

That all tallies up to $197 a month. The alternative is Talk Fusion, which costs $35 a month. It does require you to pay $250 up front, but in the long term it’s worth the money you’ll save.

In conclusion, Talk Fusion is the video email solution for increasing revenues, personalized marketing, lead generation, product demonstrations, quotations, improving customer retention, testimonials, unboxing presentations, thank yous, and increasing conversion rates.

James Martell, expert affiliate marketer, President of Net Guides Publishing Inc., and successful author and host of the Affiliate Marketers SUPER Handbook is always on the lookout for new technology that will boost conversions and give him and his students an edge over the competition. He was one of the first to use audio as a sales tool on the web and quickly latched onto the power of video.

Video is king:

• YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world and hosts millions of hours of video that’s watched by millions of users.
• In split testing, video sales letters have been found to convert over 400% more often than text only letters.
• Only 1% of people have ever received a video email
• Video is easier (and cheaper) to make now than ever before

Imagine if you could harness the power of video and put it in your customer’s inboxes.

In this edition of Coffee Talk, James speaks with Bryan Conley, owner of a brick and mortar window tinting service, who did just that–literally saving his business and propelling it to a new level of profitability!

Recession-Proof Your Income with Direct Marketing Video Emails and Autoresponders from Talk Fusion

Bryan’s residential and commercial window tinting service fell on hard times in 2007 when the housing bubble burst. His customers dried up. His revenue fell. He was marketing in magazines and newspapers but none of it was getting results.

Then he found Talk Fusion—a web-based suite of 8 different marketing tools including video emails and autoresponders. Bryan began using video emails to thank current clients and those new prospects who had requested a quote . . . and that was all it took.

The clients began placing second and third orders and referring him to friends and neighbors. The prospects converted more easily and more often than ever–sometimes choosing Bryan’s business over another because of the video alone!

Now Bryan is making more money than he ever has in the worst economy he has ever faced—even without print advertising!

Video Emails for Internet Marketers

Bryan’s business is brick and mortar and he’s making a killing. Think of what video emails could do in the hands of a skilled Internet marketer. The potential to make a massive profit is huge.

Listen in on this edition of Coffee Talk as James combines his years of experience in Internet marketing with Talk Fusion’s video email service to come up with a handful of creative ways Internet marketers could effectively (and profitably) use video emails, including:

• Converting new prospects
• Retaining current customers
• Extending the sale process over weeks or even months if necessary
• Putting a human face on your brand
• Building confidence, loyalty and trust
• Building brand
• And, of course, direct selling

The list is endless. This edition of Coffee Talk with James Martell will teach you how to leverage the power of video into higher conversion and retention rates which equal more profit for less effort!

Recognized as one of Canada’s most accomplished painters, his work is well known internationally. While his subjects are universal (he has painted in many countries), he excels in portraying Canada. Robert Genn is perhaps best known for his work on the West Coast and in the Rocky Mountains.

Robert’s technique includes a tradition of strong design with patterns of color and form, with a pervasive sense of personal style. Grand themes are transposed onto small panels and larger canvases in a manner similar to members of the Group of Seven. Most of Robert’s current work is in acrylic. He has also done considerable work in oils, watercolour, and silk screen printing.
