Practical Marketing Strategies for your Business

0 comments
If you're constructing a marketing strategy, you've probably already heard the classics like "create a memorable logo" and "join social media." What if you're looking for something a little different? Something fresh and outside-of-the-box to really get your brand out there? 

Here are five ways to advertise that you might not have been taught in business school.

1: Offer Freebies

Everyone loves swag, so the next time your city hosts a marathon or parade, make sure you're on the sidewalk passing around balloons, water bottles and goodie bags emblazoned with your company name.

2: Hire A Waver

Find a youngster with a free afternoon and pay them minimum wage to stand outside your business and attract attention. They don't even need a costume, just their natural exuberance.

What You Need To Know About Fiber Glass Insulation

Choosing the right type of insulation is an important step toward creating an energy efficient barn or building. Metal buildings are especially susceptible to seasonal temperature changes and may become extremely hot or cold according to the climate in your region. The right type of insulation can help you maintain a constant temperature in your barn or building efficiently.

The most common type of insulation available today is fiberglass based insulation. Fiberglass insulation is sold in rolls that may be precut, depending on where you make your purchase. Some companies offer to build custom insulation sets that include premeasured insulation, tape and other tools that are needed for installation. For example, CMI Insulation offers insulation packages that are customized to your specifications. This type of package is ideal if you don't have a lot of time to figure out how much insulation to purchase or want a fast method to install insulation in your barn or building.

Boltless Projects for Home and Office

0 comments
Modern construction technology has produced some innovative solutions for setting up hardware and other structures in commercial spaces. Boltless construction now allows for the easy assembly of different useful structures that can be installed in offices and convention centers. Such a design concept eliminates the need to use nuts, bolts nails and other fasteners within heavy metallic frames and other components. Boltless construction has innovated the field of modular design and assembly of small scale projects used in commercial settings for work and meetings.

Some common examples of boltless structures include shelves, work stations, office dividers, display stands, carts, steps, storage racks and scaffolds. All of these useful structures and hardware items can be assembled by using unique metal tube components. Each tube is designed to perfectly fit into corresponding tubes. Aluminum is the most common choice of boltless tubes used for modular assembly. This metal is very lightweight and therefore easy to handle by only a few individuals. Steel tubes are also readily available for heavy duty applications such as large scale projects used in convention centers and other entertainment venues. For example, stages and stands can be assembled using steel tubes that don't have a single fastener inside.
