The FREE Investment Newsletter That Really Works!
I've been listening to NPR as I travel to and from my wife's office, and let me tell you...the level of brainwashing and Trump bashing is beyond off the charts. I always gave first place to CNN as being the worst offender of fake news, but after a month of NPR, I think we've got a pretty close contest brewing.
So in this edition of our free investment newsletter, we talk about the brainwashing that's been forced on us via the media and how incredibly dangerous all this has become. Naturally we talk about the stock market and the "miracle" we witness concerning the DOW and it's 200 day moving average. Give us a read, it's good stuff!

Avengers: Endgame has topped $2 billion at the global box office in only 12 days on release.
Have the seeds of the X-Men in the MCU already been sewn in 'Avengers: Endgame'?
"We're probably never going to gather like this again in one place."
Avengers: Endgame premiered in Los Angeles just a few hours ago, and while we'll have to wait a day or two for the final reviews, early reactions on Twitter have landed.
Chris Hemsworth says Captain Marvel - aka Carol Danvers - is "absolutely" a worthy successor to the mantle of the team's most super-powered member.
"I didn't know until I saw the movie," he said.
It's clear that 'Endgam'e isn't going to make audiences wait three hours for the rematch between the Avengers and Thanos.
Captain Marvel has joined Earth's Mightiest Heroes for the first full-length Avengers: Endgame trailer.
Some of this year's most buzzy films were teased during the big game, upstaging the football (in)action. Here's our instant ranking.
It seems that The Simpsons were unluckier than most in Thanos's 'snap' from Avengers: Infinity War.
Samuel L. Jackson may have just accidentally let slip how Captain Marvel will foil finger-clicking mass murderer Thanos in Avengers: Endgame.
This sounds like a "Leftovers" situation.
Part of the journey is the plot speculation.
Avengers, disassembled.
The age of the two-hour movie could be coming to an end, reckons Joe Russo, one of the directors of Avengers: Infinity War.
"He's not done yet," says Joe Russo.
Frank Grillo shared some rumours while talking to Larry King
Ever wonder why Nick Fury seems to know exactly what's going to happen?
SPOILERS (could) follow!
The leading man, best known as Captain America, also chatted about the speculation surrounding his wrap tweet.
Chris Evans, who has played Captain America since 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, seemed to be signing off from the role with his latest tweet.
Someone thinks it's going to be called 'Shrek.'
How things will go down in Avengers 4, which was shot back-to-back with the climactic Avengers: Infinity War, remains a closely guarded secret.

Hugo Junkers Innovation Prize shines with a high quality specialist jury
The Chairman of the jury, Prof. Karlheinz Brandenburg looks optimistically at the competition entries: "I am interested to see what innovations are found in Saxony Anhalt and how the companies introduce their know how in a forward-looking way," says the Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT, Ilmenau. The expert in audio and multimedia technology is very well versed in the development and research of new technologies. Together with two colleagues, he developed the MP3 format and was honoured for his outstanding contribution to the further development of Germany as a research location in 2009 with his appointment to the "Hall of Fame of German Research".
Regina Mehler, who assesses the competition entries as the marketing expert, gives the following advice: "Entrepreneurs should seize their opportunity, for it is not just for the victors that participation in the competition is essential added value as far as marketing is concerned." As Director of the Marketing Department for Central Europe at Adobe Systems, she has over 20 years of marketing experience in the IT sector and has specialised in innovative marketing strategies, amongst other things.
The jury is also supported by Dr. Efstratia Zafeiriou. The Greek native is completing three teaching assignments on the subject of trend and innovation research in St. Gallen (CH), Munich and Tongji Shanghai. She knows how important it is for companies to recognise trends early and bring them to the market. "This doesn't just include courage and perseverance, but, most importantly, a targeted strategy," says the innovation researcher, who has been responsible for the AUDI AG China Strategy and the AUDI Tongji partnership since 2008.
Dr. Michael Brandkamp is taking part for the second time. The Managing Director of High-Tech Gründerfonds praises the promotion of innovation by the State Ministry of Employment and Economic Affairs. He considers it to be important for a region to give companies the opportunity to present themselves and their achievements to the public in such a competition. Of course, financial funding, for example the prize money of 10,000 Euros, also plays a role. Michael Brandkamp was active as the Head of Department for Innovation Financing and as the Investment Manager. Today, he provides funding with the Gründerfonds High-Tech company to make innovations possible.
Another member of the jury is Martin Ertl, Chief Innovation Officer at Bombardier Transportation in Berlin. At AUDI and BMW, he learned to use various strategies to find trends, innovations and developments early that bring sustainable economic successes for companies. "Ideas and, above all, a curiosity about research form the basis for innovation. Far-reaching innovations have arisen from many an insignificant deliberation."
It is not only the five jurors who should be excited about the competition, which is taking place for the tenth time. As the Commissioner for Innovation, Dr. Reiner Haseloff expects a number of applicants from companies from the whole of Saxony Anhalt. "The State Government does everything in its power to support the innovation process. For we only remain competitive if we can score points with innovative products", says Haseloff.
This year, the prize is awarded in the category of Special Prize Life's Work for the first time, in which entrepreneurs are awarded for many years of interdisciplinary activity, for curiosity about research, passion and dedication. Prizes are also awarded for the most innovative product development, the most innovative alliance and the most innovative breach of the rules. Prize money of 10,000 Euros is awarded in each of the four categories.
Companies and alliances based in Saxony Anhalt can take part in the competition until 31st August 2010. Information on the Hugo Junkers Innovation prize and on the application can be accessed online at www.innovationspreis-sachsen-anhalt-2010.de.

How SOUL Demands Respect for Females
A new organisation aims to replace prejudice and discrimination toward women with respect and empowerment
Julie Bartlett is the last person you'd expect to admit to being prejudiced. For two decades, she has worked tirelessly for others, through Save the Children, Alzheimers Foundation, Autism NZ and Multiple Sclerosis Society. She and husband Roy Bartlett founded StarJam, empowering thousands of talented members of the disabled community, and helping to change perceptions.
In 2013, she was appointed Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for her work. A longterm vegan, she has a warmth about her that suggests she's kind to every creature she meets. But yes, she says, in the past, she's been guilty of skimming over the "less familiar" sounding names of people who have applied to work with her.
"It's a shocking realisation, and I'm ashamed to think, 'oh do I do that?' That's terrible. I didn't even realise I did it. And we all do, it's part of human nature.
"I don't want to justify it but I guess we discriminate where there's some level of discomfort or unfamiliarity or it's outside our comfort zone. It happens to all refugees and migrants in this country, or anyone who is seen as different, who doesn't fit or speak our language or wear the right clothes or whatever it is."
Bringing such unconscious behaviours into the light is one of the aims of her new charitable organisation, SOUL (Sources of Unconditional Love). Launched on International Women's Day, a few months after the United Nations announced gender equality as one of its global goals, SOUL's feelgood aims are to replace discrimination and prejudice against girls and women with respect and empowerment.
Despite legislation, quotas, political correctness, airtime and the Spice Girls, in New Zealand one in five women have experienced discrimination, and women earn, on average, 88 cents to the dollar compared to men.
"The suffragette movement was over 100 years ago and still women don't get equal pay," she says. "How bizarre is that?"
Bartlett spent two years trying to work out the social area with the greatest need.
"There are all these issues — family violence, poverty, suicide, and I came to the conclusion that underneath all of that, people felt discriminated against... girls feel pressures through social media, that they don't fit the mould and they're in a sub group. What happens to girls who wear a head scarf at school? They get completely left out of the whole scene."
Research has shown that those most affected by discrimination in New Zealand are female, starting with young girls in primary school. Data from Statistics New Zealand shows that 24 per cent of women aged between 15-34 have been unfairly treated because of the group they belong to, or seem to belong to.
Part of the philosophy of SOUL is not to dwell on the discrimination itself but to focus on positive, fun ways to overcome it. Bartlett says she's found it interesting that women have responded to the idea with enthusiasm and a sense of relief that someone is tackling the issue, whereas men have tended to ask why she was bothering.
"It's so pervasive that people don't even realise, and so subtle," she says, pointing out that the prejudice women in New Zealand face is not as obvious as what you might find in countries such as India or Saudi Arabia.
Bartlett is in the process of contacting schools to invite girls from all walks of life into "SOUL Circles", groups that can meet regularly, on or offline. With the guidance of mentors, the hope is that they'll build trust and friendship while engaging in activities and learning life skills.
They'll also create videos that challenge prejudices and discriminatory behaviour in others. In an early production, smiling girls of various ethnicities hold up placards with inspiring messages, such as "Be your own role model" suggesting that the first step to dealing with discrimination is not to repeat the behaviour.
"They're positive and upbeat," Bartlett explains, "to make people laugh at their own biases, rather than guilt-trip them."
SOUL needs to raise $8000 per programme, per year. Group participants can then "pay it forward" by running fundraising campaigns. Helping the cause are "Soulmodels" such as Lorde, Lydia Ko and other young women who have risen above social or cultural constraints.
Bartlett concedes it won't be easy to measure the impact of SOUL but she's driven by the prospect of isolated young people finding friendship. Through StarJam, the kids who had never been invited to a sleep-over or birthday party would suddenly find themselves a raft of new friends.
Focusing on females makes sense, she says, "because if we fixed it for girls, it would be fixed for everyone".
"If we can empower girls to know what's acceptable and what's not, and give them the power so that they know how to deal with those situations, not tell them how to do it but give them the confidence to say, 'Look, I don't have to put up with that, I can say no to that', then that will cause a shift for fathers, brothers, uncles too. That's going to be a little bit intangible, but I truly believe this has a possiblity of making a big difference in the way people think."

Diebold Nixdorf announced this week that it partnered with Emirates NBD to bring consumers in the United Arab Emirates access to its digital kiosk that offers a variety of banking services.
The bank has called the kiosk EasyHub, and the capabilities go far beyond a typical ATM. This kiosk allows customers to conduct many of the activities they would typically do in a brick-and-mortar bank, all outside of bank operating hours. Users interact with a video teller and follow written instructions on the screen to sign up for new products and services, apply for and receive a new debit card, update their personal details, request a checkbook, authenticate statements, and even apply for a personal loan.
Diebold Nixdorf's Vynamic Connection Points, a multi-vendor software allowing for customized applications, is powering the EasyHub kiosk. The device comes with a debit card dispenser, biometric signature pad, document scanner, statement printer, ID reader, cash recycler and coin dispenser, and an NFC reader for contactless transactions.
In a blog post, Abdulla Qassem Emirates NBD group chief operating officer cited EasyHub's customer-first approach, increased flexibility, and superior service among the benefits of teaming up with Diebold Nixdorf.
Diebold Nixdorf appeared on the Finovate stage alongside Zenmonics at FinovateFall 2014 to showcase an in-lobby terminal. Founded in 1859, the company is partnered with almost all of the world's top 100 banks and most of the top 25 global retailers. Diebold Nixdorf is headquartered in Ohio and has 23,000 employees across the globe.

Jazz drummer and band leader Winard Harper will perform at Jersey City's 172-year-old Grace Church Van Vorst on October 18 to kick off the monthly Cathedral Arts Live concert series.
Harper has gained a devoted following in Jersey City, where he runs the "Meet the Artist" Series at Moore's Lounge each Sunday. He's a virtuoso on the drum set and the balafon — the West African equivalent of the marimba — and has performed around the world, but especially in the New York area.
His performance in October is described as "jazz propelled by a dynamic sense of Swing — from African roots to today."
Grace Church Van Vorst launched Cathedral Arts Live five years ago as an extension of the already successful Cathedral Arts Festival, founded in 1989. The modern version is meant to "create a transcendent musical experience and strengthen our community by welcoming and celebrating a diverse group of artists, performers and audiences in our beautiful space," according to a release.
The church itself was built in 1847 and is the oldest Episcopal church in Jersey City. Besides still serving a congregation, it also offers a breakfast program to the hungry and a weekday program for seniors.
The other upcoming monthly concerts will include country/folk singer Abbie Gardner on November 22, and blues and spiritual singers Walter Parks and Rob Curto on January 17 with their "soaring American sound."
There will be other performances, from poetic hip-hop to rearranged Tom Waits compositions, through spring. For the schedule and tickets, visit cathedralartslive.org.
Tickets for the October concert are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Hot food and cold beverages are available for purchase. Doors open at 7 p.m. to purchase tickets. The church is located at 39 Erie Street.

That is because the lottery agency is predicting that the next pot will reach a size of 2.7 million euros.
If you are interested, from Sunday to Thursday, you can buy your ticket for the La Primitiva draw on Thursday or for the two draws of the week (Thursday and Saturday) by choosing "Weekly" bet.

So try to guess the winning combination in the corresponding draw, consisting of 6 balls out of 49 drawn from the bass drum (commonly known as 6/49 ). An extra ball is also taken as an additional number, which serves as the Joker. Lastly, another ball of a different drum, between 0 and 9, is drawn. This last digit acts as a reinstatement. To win the biggest prize (BOTE), you have to hit the six numbers plus the refund. So it would be a good time to visit your local lottery agency and see if you can purchase a lotto ticket from La Primitiva.

So, do you know what to do with cremation ashes? When I first start talking to people about what they want to do with their loved one's cremated ashes, inevitably the first question that comes up is "What can you do with cremated ashes?". In general, I've found that most people think their options are:
A. Keep them in an urn somewhere in the house, most often hidden away
B. Scatter them in the wind or spread them in a river or some water,
C. Do nothing – ignore them (often leave them at the funeral directors) and deal with them later.
The answer to the ultimate question, 'What can you do with cremated ashes?', is Celestial Rise.
It saddens me when you hear these options because the reality is you can do anything you like. It's worth thinking about that for a second, you can do anything you like – so it's amazing how few people do so. I think there is a stigma around cremated ashes, leaving people reluctant to do anything unique for fear of people's judgement.
Firstly it's your loved one – it's your right to do as you like and often you'd be surprised once you have a chat to people about it, once they realise this is something you care about, very quickly they will support your plans.
Personally I think we've really learned a lot in the last 2 years, about how the value we add isn't necessarily where we send the cremated ashes, it's actually about offering an opportunity for a family to come together and say goodbye in a memorable way. Thats why we added the customisation we do, as every family wants to do something different – and we try and facilitate that as much as possible. Firstly it's your loved one – it's your right to do as you like and often you'd be surprised once you have a chat to people about it, once they realise this is something you care about, very quickly they will warm and support your plans.
When you give people options and when you provide a platform for them to do something creative and meaningful with their loved one's remains – they really jump at the chance.
So I think the answer here is that you are only limited by your imagination, but don't let the stigma around death and the mostly disappointing options from many funeral directors hold you back.
Recently we've seen people put their loved one's ashes in fireworks, released from a Spitfire, sent into Space, sent to the bottom of the ocean, made into jewellery, made into glassware – there is so much choice and it's just a short google search away! So be bold, dare to think what matters to you, what mattered to your loved one and why not do something a little more customised and unique?
The options are there and if you fancy curating your own customised goodbye ceremony, followed by sending your loved one's ashes to the edge of space, get in touch with us!

In anticipation of the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, Lake Erie College faculty and staff have joined forces to organize a year-long celebration of the numerous Lake Erie College alumnae who fought for women's rights and for the right to vote.
The year-long project will see students engage in active research related to LEC alumnae activities at the local, state, and national levels of the suffrage movement. These activities include the Painesville Equal Rights Association and the Ohio Suffrage Association, both founded by Frances Jennings Casement, a LEC alumna and Painesville citizen. In 1885, Casement hosted Susan B. Anthony in her home for one week and organized her visits to Lake Erie College, the Painesville Methodist Church, and The Union Chapel in Newbury where she gave speeches and inspired the community to support the suffrage movement.
Recently, in an extraordinary find, a hand-written, personal letter, dated May 21, 1885 from Susan B. Anthony to then LEC President Mary Evans was discovered in the College archives. The letter thanks President Evans for the opportunity to visit and sums up with this heartfelt show of gratitude: "give my kindest regards to the teachers and the students alike -- I enjoyed that morning's look into the faces and talk with the heads and hearts of those dear young girls...very much." The letter was signed affectionately, "With great respect & love, Susan B. Anthony."
In the letter, Mrs. Anthony also mentioned her forthcoming gift to the College of a set of History of Woman Suffrage. The cherished, commemorative volumes have since been located in the library and will be displayed with Susan B. Anthony's letter among other letters and photos of Lake Erie College suffragettes, including Frances Jennings Casement, Elizabeth Bartlett Granniz, Luette Bentley, Emma Gillette and Ellen Spencer Mussey, among others.
As part of this initiative, the college is also inviting sponsorships and donations to support student research. A full sponsorship is $2,020 to support travel and entrance fee expenses, as well as copying and scanning of documents. Ten women have been identified for student research in the Rhetoric of Women's Rights sequence, offered in successive semesters in 2020. These courses offer experiential learning through local tours and archival research. Students will have the choice to present their research through multi-media, exhibit display, historical interpretation and/or interactive website. LEC employees involved in this project include Assistant Professor of Communication Dr. Nichole Kathol, Assistant Professor of Sport Management Dr. Amanda Curtis, Dean of the School of Education and Professional Studies Dr. Katharine Delavan, Coordinator of Academic and Co-Curricular Engagement Annalise Kelleher and Director of the Lincoln Library Jeanna Purses. These women have agreed to collaborate from departments all across campus.
To kick off the Centennial Suffrage Celebration, Lake Erie College will host a Rally for Ratification event at the Helen Rockwell Morley Memorial Music Building on Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at 5 p.m. The event will feature Women of History in character as Susan B. Anthony, Victoria Woodhull and Frances Jennings Casement for historical reenactment. The Centennial Suffrage Celebration will continue throughout the year to bring awareness to the suffrage movement and its continual efforts in modern times.

Astrology Timing: Mapping Your Key Windows of Time
Mapping the key windows of time throughout your life is possible through comprehensive astrology and numerology.
As a rule, in order for a person's collective timing to symbolize rewards (or challenges), those rewards must first be promised in the natal, non-timing patterns.
In other words, exclusive focus on collective timing, or worse, mere individual time cycles, won't give you consistently high accuracy rates.
Each area of life must be scrutinized separately in the non-timing (natal) comprehensive charts: love, career, partnerships, friendships, finances, family, and so on. Then, I review the collective timing and determine when the events and circumstances supported in the natal patterns will occur.
For example, I review the natal patterns searching for great financial success. If apparent, then the timing of when it will occur can be identified.
Even after reviewing thousands of people's natal and timing patterns, it's still exciting to me to find promise of life's rewards in a subject's comprehensive charts. Though it's also fascinating to see the challenges represented in the charts unfold in real life. The more extreme the patterns, the more obvious they are and the more of an impact the symbolism has on an individual's life. The patterns can be either friend or foe.
I've found that about 50% of people I encounter have faith in the sciences of astrology and numerology, and about 50% don't; it's understandable when you consider the form of astrology the skeptics have been exposed to (modern trivialities).
Let me be clear—not believing in astrology doesn't exempt you from life circumstances (fate) mirroring the patterns in your comprehensive charts. Everyone has different timing, and my findings show that it's impossible to cheat fate.
You have a choice: you can be prepared in advance to face negative life circumstances, or you can be caught off guard.
Having exclusive intelligence about the pitfalls and rewards along your path, the key windows of time in your future through astrology and numerology, gives you a significant edge and allows you to make the most of your fate.

Brake Upgrade
Vehicle Information: Model: 911; Year: 1986; Body Type: Coupe; Engine (type, size, modifications): 3.4 Turbo Conversion; Total Mileage: 250,000+++;
I was recently fortunate enough to purchase a full set of 79 930 calipers in great condition which I plan to install on my car. I already have 930 rotors on it (78-80.5 fronts 930 351 047/8 and rears 93035204501/601). I have a number of questions: (1) I have read Stephen Kaspars post in Q&A dated Sep. 13/04 wherein he says that The only way you will get the 930 brakes to fit is to change the front spindle and strut assembly. Yet, in other web sites such as Rennlist, Bill Gregory of Connecticut Valley Region states that I only need shims. Please clarify. (2) what is the easiest way to modify the rears to fit my 911? (3) Some articles indicate that new brake lines need to be manufactured. Why can this not be achieved with steel flex lines?, and, (4) Do you have any recommendation for the flex lines? Always enjoy your Q & As, Thanks.

The COVID-19 virus has created uncertainty and anxiety for most everyone - most everywhere. Except for one place - The Elizabeth House Maternity Home. At The Home, the moms and their children feel "safe, guarded, protected and abundantly blessed." Those are their words.
The moms have expressed this is one of the hardest things they have been through. They have jobs they can't go to and lost their childcare when daycares closed their doors. In spite of these unforeseen difficulties, the moms feel so well cared for by The Elizabeth House's volunteers, staff and Board.
One of the moms said, "I'm so glad I'm here. So glad."
The moms in The Elizabeth House don't have to worry about losing the place they live because they can't work right now. They know they will have a safe place for their babies and children even if they can't work during the stay at home order.
The moms feel God's protection and are growing in their faith.
This is the vision and mission of The Elizabeth House Maternity Home. And our community is rising to the occasion to help meet the needs – physically, emotionally and spiritually.
During this time of uncertainty, because of the generosity of volunteers and donors and the direction and guidance of the staff and Board, the moms continue to receive support. Several of the good things happening in The House are:
Good things are continuing to happen at The Elizabeth House Maternity Home in spite of the bad things happening in the world.
The House cannot be successful without our community coming together to help provide protection, love and encouragement for the moms and their children so let me say a great big "THANK YOU!" on behalf of the moms, staff and Board.
And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' Matthew 25:40
If you want to volunteer or donate, please go to the volunteer page or the donate page.

In the example below the condition evaluation will be done as follows:
- If the value of NETx\VAR\Numeric\Item1 is 0 then URL1 is used (Picture1).
- If the value of NETx\VAR\Numeric\Item1 is 1 then URL2 is used (Picture2).
- If the item quality of NETx\VAR\Numeric\Item1 is GOOD and the none of the prior conditions is met then URL2 is used (Picture3).
- If the item quality of NETx\VAR\Numeric\Item1 is not GOOD then URL3 is used (....).
Testing the control with navigation buttons
To test the Multi Picture control we create controls to show the current value of the used server item and controls to modify this value.
A simple implementation would be by adding two different buttons one to navigate Up and one to navigate Down, and a "Text-box" in between to shows the current "ItemID".
Create the navigation buttons from the "Libraries" section in the object catalog. In the library there is a large variety of NETx Styles to choose from.
Assigning the buttons to navigate through the Multi Picture control.
First the "Up-Button", assigning can be done by double-clicking the button, and on "Object" tab, function is Standard button, Confirmation type is none, Operation mode should be "+Value" (to increase the value of the server item connected to the Multi Picture control), Step increased by 1 and the max. value "2" beside on URLs count - 1 (Index starts at 0). After that in Server Items in the Description the First Undefined filed can be assigned to the URLs Item ID (Numeric - Variable 1). Also Send and Receive should be checked.
- +Value will increase the Value with the Defined "Step" amount.
- -Value will decrease the Value with the Defined "Step" amount.
The following figures show the configuration.
Same thing should be done with the "Down-Button", but the Operation mode should be "-Value" and the Min. value is "0".
Current ItemID
Viewing the current Item ID of Multi Picture control can be done by adding "Text-Box" , after that Double-Click on the "Text-Box". in the "Text-Box" dialog and in the "Object" tab, Function is Indicator and the Item ID is Variable 1.
The following figure shows the configuration.
When all has been done is correct, the project should be ready to Start.

Astyanax is a side-scrolling platform game. The controls are fairly simple: the A Button makes Astyanax jump, the B Button will attack with an axe called Bash, and a combination of up and attack will perform a special magic attack. The game also contains a few role-playing elements, such as weapons upgrades. It had a unique feature (for the time) of a bar that grows between attacks; the length of the bar determines how much damage Astyanax will do with his next attack.

Credibility is defined as "the quality or power of inspiring belief" (1). Some of the word's synonyms include believably, honesty, integrity, truthfulness, authenticity, and genuineness. The undercurrent connecting all of these phrases and definitions together for a company is their ability to truly deliver on who they say they are. Whether a company guarantees the best customer service, the number one products, or one-day delivery, a business needs to keep its word every time in order to maintain credibility with their customers.
However, this is not always easy to do. Just a quick web search revealed some big name companies, that have some of the worst reputations.
For example, Wells Fargo promises on its website that: "We place customers at the center of everything we do. We want to exceed customer expectations and build relationships that last a lifetime" (2). While that may very well be the intention, many one-star reviews reveal otherwise. One customer complained that the bank never has "merchant tellers and the lines are always long. Terrible customer service: (3).
Another instance of a company with poor credibility is Sears. While it promises on its website for finding jobs to be an "integrated retail company that provides superior value through trusted brands, great products and convenient, reliable services" (4), customer reviews tell a different story. One review said that after her experience she was "done with Sears and I will let all my friends and family know my experience today." Another claimed that she was "not at all surprised reading about horrible customer service" (5). It seems that, unfortunately, Sears's poor reputation preceded them.
The problem with having a hard time living up to a promise is that when a company grows large enough, it can be at the mercy of its employees. And if those employees aren't dedicated to living up to a company's vision and promises, then the reputation of the company will suffer. Which, as we discussed in the previous blogs, will affect everyone in the business.
While the problem of building or rebuilding a company's credibility can most certainly not be solved overnight, focusing on maintaining a positive brand identity is certainly a step in the right direction. Last week, we discussed how positive branding can help a company send a clear message about the company. Furthermore, branding can also help display and confirm a company's credibility.
How Signs Can Solve this Problem
A creative sign that reflect positively on a company's brand can most certainly impact a company's reputation and nudge it in the right direction. Let's take a look at how:
Signage: Displays Company Credibility
It may be hard to imagine how a sign can help send the message of credibility to your customers. However, a recent study found that "more than two thirds (68%) of consumers believe a store's signage is reflective of the quality of its products and services" (6). That means that two out of every three potential consumers who view your sign, believe that what they see on the outside of your store, will reflect what they see on the inside.
That's because for many people, a company's sign is the first impression that they will have of that business. It's the first thing that greets them when they pull up into your parking lot or head into your store. And as the old saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
There are many signs that can send the first impression of credibility and dependability.
For instance, a Monument Sign tells passers-by that your business has longevity and is here to stay. A Gold Leaf Sign shows customers that your company and all its customers are as valuable and solid as gold. And an elegant Wall Sign shows consumers that you have a reputation for class and quality.
The right sign can help transform your brand by setting a tone of trustworthiness, dependability, and credibility.
One of the founders of our country, Thomas Jefferson is credited with saying that "honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." If a company and its employees expect to experience long-lasting success, they must first prove that they can be trusted. A company that is establishes itself through false promises might as well have built its foundation upon sand. With a solid base of trust, it is only a matter of time until their walls will crumble.
Whether you are a new business looking to establish a reputation of trust or long-lasting one looking to rebuild your brand as a credible, using a well-made sign will send the right message about your company from the very start. Call or email Landmark Signs Inc today, to display your company's credibility.
