raleigh home inspector: Is this your Mothers Mold? by Dave Park "The Maverick Builder" - 02/16/10 08:52 PM
Molds are ubiquitous in nature, and mold spores are a common component of household and workplace dust. However, when spores are present in large quantities, they can be a health hazard to humans, potentially causing allergic reactions and respiratory problems.

raleigh home inspector: "Something in the Air" or PCB's by Dave Park "The Maverick Builder" - 02/16/10 08:29 PM
"Something in the air" takes on a whole new meaning today than that magic spring night in the 60's or the Tom Petty song. Mold, Fungi, Radon, Chinese Drywall and now PCBs.
Polychlorinated biphenyls or PCB's have been around since the 1940's. They where manmade chemicals that were widely used in construction materials and electrical products. They were banned by Congress in 1976 because of a "concern" about their health and environmental effects.
The use and disposal of PCBs before the phase-out resulted in their widespread presence in our soil, air, water and food. Despite the federal ban, they remain present … (0 comments)

2. Where is the purchase or buying decision made?
This is a great question because unless you have researched this question or brought in focus groups, you are probably not sure of the #2, #3, #4, and #5 answers.
Please re-read the question. I did not say "Who" made the decision, but "Where" was the decision made.
Now go ask everyone you know. Whether it's a Realtor, a Vendor, a Leeds Group or online. Find out where the purchase decision is made.

raleigh home inspector: Have You Thought About Selling Fashion? - 08/02/09 02:38 PM
EBay has been referred to as the fashion capital of the internet, and with good reason. According to one ratings website, EBay's Clothing, Shoes & Accessories category is the #1 website for fashion. The site attracts well over one million buyers a month who are specifically looking for fashion-related items; these same buyers spent $2.4 billion last year alone on items from the CS&A category.
EBay is often the first port of call for buyers looking for unique, rare or limited edition fashion items that no one else has. So if you're thinking of expanding your business into another area, … (3 comments)

Machete Innovation to Jungle Growth
Part 1
When Procter & Gamble first championed brand management, astute marketers quickly boiled it down to four things:

This means gathering and applying insights at every touch-point along the path to … (0 comments)

Yup, it's Girl Scout Cookie time in our part of the world. [And, yes, my English teacher DID tell me never to start a sentence with the word "Yup."] For those of you who are unfamiliar with the sights, tastes, and overall experience of helping your daughters sell Thin Mints, Samoas, and Do-Si-Do's, you're missing a fundamental and wide-ranging education about the dynamics of sales, selling, and salespeople.
Here are some points I've garnered while helping my daughter, Nicole, age 12, and Troop 429, make their sales numbers. These pointers are hard-earned, field-tested, and as applicable to you and your business … (8 comments)
