A KNACK FOR FLARE

The SmokesterStrikes Again!

Smokey_Mizu_pg3 2/13/10 2:47 PM

In the west coast town where I grew up, the most exotic species of wildlife found crawlingaround outside my house was the rollie pollie. Not so exotic wouldn’t you say? They were harmless; very skiddish in fact. Touch one ever so gently and it rolled tightinto a ball until the coast was clear to continue its journey.

When I moved to the tropical climate of the south, I found that you folks lived with abit more of an extensive (not to mention more aggressive) array of creepy crawliesthan the timid California rollie pollie. In fact, every Spring since I first arrived I havelearned about other types of fantastic critters, some even carnivorous in nature.

If you are an avid Sea Island Scene reader, you may recall a discovery about palmetto bugs I made two summers ago. Lillie had justturned one and we were having our usual girl time hanging out and giggling on the living room floor. Not to my surprise, a palmettobug decided to join us. Squeamish as I am at the sight of not-so-attractive insects, I threw the television remote at the party crasher.This didn’t really accomplish more than a longer search for it's new hiding place as it scurried under the couch. I had learned quickly byexperience that palmetto bugs are climbers so I waited, shoe in hand, for it to make its way up a wall. Of course I found it! The bug hadcruised around the corner and up the dining room wall. Lillie, standing next to me, watched the stand off intently. It was going to be adual to the death, and definitely not mine! To make a dramatic story short, the palmetto bug attacked in the most unexpected way. Itflew at me! I had no clue the thing could fly so I screamed like a girl, then Lillie screamed... then I smashed it. I’m sure the palmettobug rights activists may be after me for sharing this, but I can assure you it was purely out of defense!

Though it is common to open your front door and find a frog trying to get in, not all wildlife is nosy and impeding. There is an array ofbirds (ospreys, eagles, hawks), gators, deer and other eye-catching wildlife waiting to be gazed upon in the marsh-laden Lowcountry.Boat tours such as Beaufort River Tours and Eric Horan’s Photo Tours are available to create excellent Kodak moments and memories.These tours are especially exciting during this season as babes of all kinds begin peering their heads from behind the long grassland.Just beware of the ones that buzz and bite!

As the seasons change different winged birds migrate in and out of the area, they are professional vacationers. Spring seems to be thetime of year when the most unusual and beautiful flocks show up on golf courses and in backyards of Beaufort. They sure know that thebest time to visit our town is now! Whether you are like the birds and have found yourself migrated here for a spring stay, or you areplanning to visit soon, keep in mind that you are possibly in coastal Carolina during the best time of the year. It’s not too hot, it’s nottoo cold. The historic town of Beaufort is just right!

Establish a memorable and unmistakeable brand identity:- The secret to business success is determined by yourability to powerfully communicate your business withlaser precision and your ability to deliver a clearly-defined and consistent experience.

- In a nutshell... it’s called branding, and, when done right,it ensures a thriving business with all the customers andprofits you need. The secret is to establish a powerfulbrand identity that sings distinction. And establish thatidentity before you launch any marketing activities.

- Create a deep connection with your core target audience- your potential raving fans! Who wants and needs what

you have to offer? The only wrong answeris “everyone.” If you’re a pediatrician,

you may see infants andchildren. Are they yourtarget audience? No!

They are your patients,but it’s the parentsyou need to connectwith to get the

kids in your door.And it’s not justany parents - it’s adefinite group of

parents.

- In marketing, you get a lotmore “bang for your buck” if you

focus your spending on a well-defined group of peoplethat you enjoy working with. The better you define thisgroup, the more effective your marketing can be.

Design compelling offerings that pull customers inlike a magnet.- 80% of all purchase decisions are based on emotion.It’s your job as a marketer to know how your customerswant to feel and to get them to visualize how yourservices can meet their needs.

Building a house today doesn’t mean you haveto use the same old materials. Thanks to a littlething called progress, new building materialsare popping up all over the place.

Although the principle has been around forhundreds of years, green roofs are new to thearchitectural scene. These vegetated roof coversuse plants in place of tiles or shingles, decreasingstorm water runoff, filtering pollutants out ofrainwater and decreasing energy usage. If usedwide-scale, green roofs could reduce the urbanheat island effect of a city.

Green roofs are available in different depths andrequire strong structural support. With just a fewinches of growth medium and wedding-cake layers of waterproofing membranes and rootbarriers to prevent leaks, they can be planted withalpine plants. In some cases, deep soil andirrigation systems may be used to grow shrubs,grass and trees. Green roofs are being usedsuccessfully on at least two buildings in the UnitedStates, city hall in Chicago and the headquarters ofthe American Society of Landscape Architects.

Concrete is no longer the drab, gray buildingmater ia l i t once was. Manufactured by Lafarge, Ductal, which has been on the market fora few years now, casts like concrete and feels likeconcrete but behaves like metal once cured. It isfive times stronger than regular concrete thanks tothe small fibers of steel or polymer dispersedthroughout the matrix. Ductal costs about as muchas traditional concrete and steel and comes incustom recast shapes. It has been used in severalpedestrian bridges around the world and a lightrail transit station in Calgary.

Similar to Ductal, bendable concrete resistscracking 500 times more than traditional concrete,weighs less and requires fewer jo ints and reinforcements. Bendable concrete uses

synthetic fibers, which are placed in the mix withtraditional construction equipment and techniques.It has been used in projects in Australia, Japan,Korea and Switzerland.

A small German company has developed LiTraCon,a translucent concrete containing glass opticalfibers as thick as a human hair. To make sure eachfiber makes contact with surfaces on both sides,the blocks are built in stages. A thin layer ofconcrete is poured into a long, narrow mold; thisprocess is repeated until a long beam is formed,which is then cut into short, rectangular building blocks. These are riddled with thin, lightpipes that transmit light from one side of thematerial to the other. Through the use of differentdiameters (two microns to two millimeters),different illumination effects can be achieved. The size of the block has no effect on theillumination of the fibers.

Although it is not available on the market,SmartWrap, a thin material made from the sameplastic as soda bottles and pressed into rolls, is strong enough to provide protection from aCategory 3 hurricane. An organic light-emittingdiode technology of organic molecules is depositedonto the plastic film. This emits light when an electriccurrent is applied, providing lightning protection.Microcapsules of change-phase materials areembedded in the film, absorbing heat in thesummer and releasing heat in the winter, thereby controlling the climatein the building. Organicphotovoltaic cells arealso embedded inthe film to absorbsunlight andp r o d u c epower.

SiS Fan Gary Bianchi recentlyrequested an article on “the sportshistory of Beaufort, S.C.” My dictionary’sdefinition of “sports” is “diversion ofthe field, as hunting, fishing, racing,games, especially athletic games; alsoany various games, usually playedunder cover.”

Let us consider hunting and fishing. In 1776, during the AmericanRevolution, with British warships offthe Carolina coast, the AmericanProvincial Congress orderedthe “removal of all cattle,hogs and otherstock f rom “theHunting Islands” toprevent their seizureby royal forces,”a c c o r d i n g t o D r . L a w r e n c eRowland’s 1996History of BeaufortCounty, vol. I.

Thus, we hadcoastal islands bythat name alongwith the first settlers, some of which islands were

reserved for hunting and fishing untilfairly recently. Sportsmen visited themto hunt wild game and to use theirwaters in which fishing for sport is stillknown far and wide. On Hilton HeadIsland, there are names like Fish Hauland Fish Haul Plantation which mayhave a sports connotation as well as a food source.

William Elliott III (1788-1863),according to Walter Edgar’s 2006

Encyclopedia of SouthCarol ina , wrote thatElliott’s most famous and

lasting contributiont o s o u t h e r nl i t e r a t u r e w a s“Carolina Sports byLand and Water,”published in 1846.“ I t h a s s i n c ebecome a classic oft h e A m e r i c a noutdoor genre,”and is still in print.

Planning before you head off to the supermarket will helpyou shop more economically. Take the time to do a quickinventory of your kitchen to determine the food that you need. Prepare your shopping list and make notationsof applicable coupons that you may want to use. Read thenewspapers and circulars to find the best deals.

Coupons, Rebates, and Frequent Shopper ProgramsYou can save hundreds of dollars a year by takingadvantage of product incentives. Even the less enthusiasticcoupon clipper can shave an average of 10 percent offtheir bottom-line by cashing in a small handful of couponsper trip. If your supermarket offers a frequent shopper program,why not sign-up? You will receive advanced notice ofspecial loss leaders, double-coupon days and other moneysaving information.

Store Brands - Try it, You May Like ItThe days of generic type packaging and bland tasting foodin store brand products is over. Companies have workedhard to improve their private-label brands (eg. Tesco,Giants) and often the taste is equal to the national brands.Do not be afraid to experiment. If you find the productmeets your standards, you can save an average of 40 percentoff your annual grocery bill.

Setting LimitsSticking to a well thought-out shopping list will help willhelp cut down on grabbing for things that you do not need.In addition, giving yourself enough time to shop will helpprevent dashing in and reaching for the first item that youcome to.

Comparison ShoppingTo determine the true value of a product read the unit price,not just the package price. The unit price information isusually on a sticker located on the shelf that holds the item.The package price only tells you the cost of the entire item.The unit price shows the cost per liter, grams, etc. Taking amoment to compare this information in similar products willhelp you get the best value for your money. Also, be certainto check “expiration” and “used by” dates to insure you arebuying the freshest products.

Building The Small BusinessConvert customers into publicity agentsDevelop an incentive for them to tell associates and friends about the valueof your products or services. An endorsement from them is more effectivethan any amount of advertising - and it is much cheaper.

Try Unusual Marketing MethodsLook for unconventional marketing methods. Investing in uniquepromotional give-aways is a low cost, excellent way to keep your businessin the eyes of the community. Put your logo on pens, grocery totes andstickers or try more unusual items like stress balls, beach balls, sun screenor desk accessories. See page 18 for more on this.

Make Informed Print Advertising DecisionsDo you know how much you are being seen in your print advertising? Print advertising is a vital part to growth, even if you don’t think so. Some advertising agencies (like Sea Island Scene) offer additional freemarketing to advertisers, including free website ads, free Facebook news blasts, and free editorials. Make sure that you are getting accurateinformation and the best exposure for your money.

Can the publication - and your ad - be seen online? Does the distribution only cover your town or is it outside the immediate area?Is the publication direct mailed? For free or are there consumer costs?Which publication offers the most for the least? Making informed advertising decisions is key to your success!

Use Various Marketing TacticsNo single marketing effort works all the time for every business, so rotateseveral marketing tactics and vary your approach. Your customers tune outafter awhile if you toot only one note. Not only that, YOU get bored.Marketing can be fun, so take advantage of the thousands of opportunitiesavailable for communicating your value to customers. But don’t be arbitraryabout your selection of a variety of marketing ploys. Plan carefully. Get feedback from customers and adapt your efforts accordingly.
