July 29th, 2010

People manning the phones were even instructed to pretend they were talking to people when the camera came their way so it appeared as though they were getting a huge volume of calls. This would give social validation to the at-home audience that this charity was popular and an acceptable organization to which to donate your money.

Your video rental stores use social validity as a means of increasing rentals on high-profit movies. Older movies return the highest profit for video rental stores. When storeowners noticed that many customers check the return stacks to see what videos other people were watching, they had workers put older movies into the return bin. Social validation increased the rentals of the older movies significantly.

The more a brand is advertised, the more popular and familiar it is perceived to be. We as consumers somehow infer that something is popular simply because it is advertised. When people are buying gifts for others, social proof is one of the most effective tactics that a salesclerk can use.”

Many salespeople find great success in telling clients that a particular product is their “best-selling” or “most popular” on hand because such a tactic increases the social validation of the product in the mind of the buyer.

In fact, it was

July 29th, 2010

In fact, it was never really a goal in the first place , at best it was an ambiguous statement.

Goal setting is simple. Like anything, if you want to
experience success, follow those that have been successful and copy them. Gary Ryan Blair aka ? The Goals Guy ? has a quick and simple method. All you have to do to properly plan your goals is to ask 3 questions.

WHAT? will help you define whether it?s something you
wish to be, have or do.

HOW? will allow you to define with precision and
exactness, what you must do to acheve your
goals in a predetermined amount of time.

WHY? is the fuel you need to keep you going and
give passion and purpose to your objective

Once you?ve answered these three questions in detail,
you?ve got yourself a bona fide goal. Yes. It?s very
important to right it down. Writing it down clarifies and crystallizes it for you.

Their root system is restricted

July 28th, 2010

Their root system is restricted to the pot so make sure you keep them well watered. Containers are far more likely to dry out in hot conditions which will kill your plants or have them ‘fruit’ poorly.

It is also very important that a mulch is put on top of the container. This will slow evaporation and keep the surface temperature of the soil cooler. Plants like tomatoes have small, fiberous roots which will dry and die in hot soil.

Container vegetables may need some additional fertilising due to the extra watering. Nutrients will be washed away quicker in a container than in the ground.
