Tips For Keeping Customers Engaged Over the Summer

Tips For Keeping Customers Engaged Over the Summer

Keeping your customers engaged over the summer can be a challenge. Between vacations, outdoor events, and school being out, the consumer’s buying habits and attention span change. People are in front of their computers less and use mobile devices more to check email in the summer months.

So how do you keep your customers engaged during the lazy, hazy days of summer?

Make sure your emails are mobile-ready. If at all possible, create a mobile version of your email. If you do not have the resources to do this, at the very least make the font bigger and keep the call to action closer to the top and more centered (so you don’t have to slide the email to the right).The same would be true with landing pages.

Try a time-of-day split test. A change in season can mean a change in your contacts’ behaviors. Parents are distracted by children now that school is out, children stay up later, there are more activities outside. If you usually send at the same time, try a different time or split-test one time with another and look for a difference in engagement. There is no magical time – it depends on your audience.

Be patient. In the lazy days of summer, it may take people longer to get to your email. Studies show that it can take 2 weeks for all of your interested contacts to interact with your email. Make sure your offer is still valid or, at the very least, make sure the landing page has an offer of some kind. It may be best to avoid “today only” specials in the summer, unless this is your business model.

Do a “summer tips” email. Retailers – do you have a product that can be used more/differently in the summer (hats, lotions, shoes, equipment)? Do you have information that is more relevant in the summer (healthy tips, travel destinations, children’s study tips while out of school, water safety)? Get creative and your audience will appreciate the tips.

Do a summer auto-responder series. Alternatively, set up an email calendar now and create the emails ahead of time. Schedule these emails in advance – especially if your email manager will be on vacation. An example of a “summer series” could be around deals each week, summer safety tips, motivating health tips related to the summer (skin care, pool exercises, healthy eating). Nonprofits could consider hosting a “summer challenge” fundraising goal and offer winners a prize at the end of the summer.

Express yourself. Summer is a more casual time, making it a good time to relate to your customers on a personal level. People like to feel they are buying from people, rather than companies. Take time this summer to stop selling and start building relationships. Take pictures of your staff at a company cook-out, share pictures from employee travels (this would be great on a blog or social media, too). Have a picture-caption contest – for example, use a picture of your CEO or owner doing something fun and ask your subscribers to write the caption with a small prize for the winning caption. Ask your customers what they did during the summer and ask them to post pictures to your website or Facebook page.

Get creative, find a reason to send to your list, and you’ll find your audience engaged with you through the summer and into fall. Read more about the importance of summer campaigns to small businesses here.

Notarization 101

Notarization 101 what you need to Know

I have often in my blog lamented partial notarizations, especially when the notary only stamps and signs the document. This installment from http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com will cover in detail the proper format for a notarization done in New York State. Procedures and rules will vary from state to state, but most of the essentials are probably the same. I will cover the format from the top down, as it should appear on the page. Minor variations are acceptable; the definitive rules from New York State are available on the Notary Laws and procedures page of my web site.

Generally at the beginning of the document is the Venue, it may also appear later at the start of the notary section. The venue tells the location where the notarization was performed. It has nothing to do with the property address, as in the case of a mortgage. It is “related” to the notary’s stamp – more on that later. The Venue usually consists of two lines. The first, for me, is “State of New York”, as I can only notarize in New York State. The second is “County of ____” – this is the county where the document was signed and the oath was given. Both entries are required and often overlooked. Next, generally, is the body of the document which may be a mortgage, power of attorney or affidavit. At the end of the body of the document is the signature of the affiant. It’s a best practice to have the name printed under the signature line.

After the body of the document is the “Notary Section” – the venue may be here if not at the start of the document. After the venue is the statement by the notary. It tells what type of service the notary provided. The two main services are “Sworn to and subscribed before me” and “This instrument was Acknowledged before me”. In the former, the notary is saying that (s)he actually witnessed the signature. In the latter, the notary is saying that (s)he asked the affiant if (s)he signed the document and received a positive reply. Of course, in both cases, the affiant is required to show positive identification. The notary should add the name of the affiant and the date to whichever format, described above, is used.

After the notary statement is the signature of the notary. There is usually an area for “My Commission expires __________”, whereby the notary states the end date of the current notary commission. In New York State, all entries by the notary are required to be in black ink. After the signature, the notary will stamp their information. That stamp has their name, the statement “Notary Public, State of New York”, their commission number, the county where the notary is qualified and their commission expiration date. It’s required for the notary to use an embosser when a document might be used in a Federal Court, a different state, out of the country, or is required by the Uniform Commercial Code. As a http://newyorkmobilenotarypublic.com I consider it a best practice to always emboss every notarization I perform.

New York City has The Hardest Birth Certificate to Obtain

New York City has The Hardest Birth Certificate to Obtain

It would probably be easier to take bars of gold out of Fort Knox. For me, representing you as a New York Mobile Notary Public to quickly obtain your New York Birth Certificate requires your exacting attention to detail. First, and this must be very clearly understood: Only the “short form” that does Not qualify for an Apostille is delivered “over the counter”. The “long form” – the one with the Letter of Exemplification is Only sent by mail. I will relate the difficulty by retelling events that occurred today. The lady needed her NYC birth certificate in a hurry, or she would forfeit a prepaid vacation cruise.

I ask my clients to very carefully prepare a shipment to me with the necessary: signed application form, notarized permission form, signed copy of ID, and shipping information including phone number; required for the airbill. I always caution clients that all signatures must match exactly, repeat exactly, the signature that appears on the copy of ID. However, my client did not sign correctly on the notarized authorization and the application was refused. But only partially! I also ask for 2 “official documents” showing the client’s address. What qualifies are phone bills, electric bills, bank statements, etc. One of her document was over 60 days old and it was also rejected! It took a while – but she managed to FAX to the Bureau of Vital Records a new and more current document. Finally her Birth Certificate was printed and put in the pre-addressed FedEx envelope – but it would not be handed to me, they said they would ship it that day.

Ken Edelstein has processed many requests for NYC Birth Certificates. But, none was from a more frantic and tearful client. She was literally sobbing at the initial rejection; and it took my Psychology background to calm her down, and get the project back on track. The Birth Certificate office is a very busy place – at all hours. Waits in line to get to the window are literally measured in hours. There is no shortcut if you need same day service. A practical alternative is the on-line service called Vital Check; but results don’t arrive for a few weeks. Note that Vital Check is the best alternative if Apostille processing is necessary. If you need the Letter of Exemplification, be sure to select “Apostille” when asked for the “use” or “purpose” of your request.

As your agent with your notarized letter of authorization, I face an extra processing delay. With the assumption that your signature on that document Exactly matches your signature on the copy of the ID you submitted; they do some additional checking. They then contact the licensing authority for the notary on your letter of authorization to verify that the signature and commission of the notary you used are valid! More delay, and much more time in a chaotic and noisy office with many people upset at the long wait; and some Really upset at having their application rejected. So, be forewarned – each and every item I mention for you to prepare is vital to the acceptance of the request I submit on your behalf. I try to “get it in hand” so I can ship it myself, but if all the paperwork is not perfect, especially your signature on the notarized form matching Exactly the signature on the copy of your photo ID – often the only option is to depend on them to ship; and hope that they get it out the same day.

Branding

Thu, 19 May 2011 09:01:53 GMT

Delivering on Your Brand

Your brand positioning has been agreed on, your target customer has been identified, your message has been refined to reach that audience, you have a new logo and tagline, a new email marketing template and your website has a new design. All of this really captures who you are and where you want to go.

So, your work is done. Right?

Wrong.

Good start, but you’ve only scratched the surface. Your smart positioning, new site, new template and new logo will only get you so far. Now, the real challenge: delivering on your brand experience.

Experience can make or break a brand. Say you’ve premised your entire brand on exceptional service (á la Nordstrom), but your frontline employees don’t deliver. At all. What stays with your audience is not that winning tagline about service, but the abrasive rep who rubbed them the wrong way. And at that point, no amount of appealing logos or clever messages can salvage your brand.

Retailers provide an example of how to think about your brand experience. In fact, the emphasis on brand experience in retail has inspired a whole cottage industry. Perfumers develop special scents for specialty shops. Of-the-moment DJs craft brand-inspired soundtracks for store stereos. But before you write this off as a trend for retailers only, think again. While you might not need to rush out for that perfect fragrance for your office headquarters, the lesson is this: Take a hard look at your brand experience.

Getting your brand experience right requires a top-to-bottom sweep of your touch points. So, do yourself this favor. Get your team in a room and start mapping out all the possible ways your audience might interact with your organization. In other words, audit your brand experience.

As a warm-up, start with the obvious conveyers of brand: your emails, your website, your ads. But then get into the not-so-obvious: how your staff interacts with your audiences, the atmosphere in your lobby, how you answer the phone, the music playing when a caller goes on hold, the tone in your email marketing messages.

Also, think hard about whether your processes actually reinforce your brand promise—and identify the gaps. For example, are you promising “easy” but making customers take a dozen steps to complete an order? Do you want to target young families but aren’t actually offering family-friendly policies for your employees? Do you want to be known for hospitality but have a less-than-welcoming presence at the front door? All of these details add up to an impression of your brand—good or bad.

So, get beyond the big picture and think through all those details that make up the experience. Then, make some changes, start actively managing the experience and watch your brand take off. Written By: Anna Adlard, Director of Account Planning at capstrat

The Danger of using the Office Notary

Get a Bottom Line Mobile Notary Fee

Wed, 10 Nov 2010 08:56:49 GMT

“Are there any other fees or charges?” is a common question when I quote a price for my mobile notary, fingerprinting, or Apostille/Legalization services. My standard reply is “I don’t like to get or to give surprises”. It seems that some notaries are advertising in a “bait and switch” manner, adding fees and surcharges to a low starting number. I consider that deceptive. When I quote a price for services, based on your stated requirements, that’s the price – unless the requirements change. I am one of the very few A+ rated notaries with the Better Business Bureau of New York, (I know of no other). http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com is dedicated to the highest standards of ethics and I maintain a very pro-consumer business policy.

Some are very creative with the “add ons”. I receive regular feedback from many clients about the “games” some play. Sometimes it’s humorous, “that is outside of my basic area”, my new client was told. “What is the basic area”, they asked. Silence, was the reply! Another common deception is to “not mention” that the return delivery of the Apostille incurs an additional “trip” fee, or having a high premium for same day service. I appreciate clients meeting me at the time scheduled, but I don’t charge a dollar a minute for a short wait, as some others do. It is my standard policy to suggest a duplicate, where practical, also be notarized; an official, original, backup copy. I make no additional charge and routinely request my client to have a copy ready for me to also notarize. It takes me little extra time to process and adds value to my visit.

As a http://newyorkmobilenotarypublic.com I meet many people. The vast majority are very honest. However, most are New Yorkers’ and tend to be wary of new business relationships. They are my most favorite prospective new clients. I invite them to compare my web site with the various alternatives. Most other sites give very little, if any, information about the key person, the notary who will actually be going to you. My site gives my real name, home address, and a host of “clickable” verifiable links, to a variety of information about me. I also provide, in place of hammering, mind numbing, sales pitches; a variety of useful information. I do the same with phone calls; stopping at the point where I am being asked for “legal advice”. I am not an attorney, and not qualified, or permitted, to give legal advice.

It’s always wise to ask, very firmly, for the “bottom line”; the “what must I pay” amount. Ask if there are any additional charges whatsoever. Of course, you must describe the job accurately. I have arrived at a “just one item to notarize” and been presented 17 “copies” – to also notarize. Be aware that the majority of the mobile notary’s time is spent in transit. I might be at your location for only ten minutes, but it can take over an hour to get to you. If you make many calls and ask “How much is a Notary?”, I can almost guarantee you that the lowest response will never be what you are asked to pay. There is also the issue of quality. Quality of service can vary from the professional service with proper supplies to handle virtually any situation. Ask about a variety of forms, sizes of notary stamps, embossers, a FedEx account, an on-line credit card acceptance (to keep your credit card information secure), etc. At the other end of the scale is the disorganized amateur, with a last 2 digits of the year shaved off, worn out stamp – and who, upon their (late) arrival, will ask to borrow your pen!

Bank Notary Refused because I am not a Customer

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 07:21:46 GMT

That is not only rude, impolite and bad business; it’s also illegal. On my web site there is a link for Notary Laws and Procedures. At http://newyorkmobilenotarypublic.com that link leads to a direct link to the official notary law for New York State. Under Section 195 “Official Misconduct” which is defined as a “Class A Misdemeanor” it states: Notary must officiate on request.

The Penal Law (§195.00) provides that an officer before whom an oath or affidavit may be taken is bound to administer the same when requested, and a refusal to do so is a misdemeanor.

Thus, it is illegal for a Notary Public to refuse to notarize a document when requested. There are some practical limitations to the requirement. You certainly cannot demand entrance to a private residence to see a notary; no rule requires that the notary permit you into their home. It is generally viewed as applicable to “places of public accommodation”, such as a bank, law office, or pharmacy. You probably would not be able to disrupt someone’s lunch break. But the flat out refusal because you are not a “customer” is totally improper. If you run into this situation; print out a copy of the law from my site, and remind the reticent notary that they took an oath to uphold the notary laws of New York State – and criminal penalties apply to lawbreakers.

There is a practical side to public places. You generally have to wait your turn, sometimes in a very long line. “Walk In” notaries are not always available at your convenience. Some are only available on certain days and / or times of the day. Their primary job certainly takes precedence over their secondary accommodation of providing notary services. It’s a good idea for you to find out what day / time the “walk in” notary will be available. When http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com goes to you – at the place and time that suits you best; there is absolutely no wait. In fact, generally arriving a few minutes early, I check my email while waiting for you to become available. If you arrive with a complete “loan package” and require 43 notarizations; I doubt if you would be accommodated. Even the New York County Clerk will not process a large number of notarizations for an individual – it is too disruptive to the others waiting on line for service. It’s different when you have an appointment and the notary can allocate sufficient time for your processing.

There are some gray areas related to what a notary will process. Some notaries refuse to do Powers of Attorney, or documents in a Foreign Language. Banks typically refuse both. The former, they see as an exposure of the bank to possible litigation. The latter, I can only guess, is fear of the unknown. There is no legal requirement for me to be able to read the document. I only need to be able to administer the notary oath to the person signing in English, the only language I know. It is not permitted to administer the oath via an interpreter. There are probably other “cases” – but the general law is inflexible. The notary must accommodate your request as long as it is, in the notary’s opinion lawful. That includes proper date, lack of blank spaces, proper ID, etc.

Notarizing Foreign Language Documents | NYC Mobile Notary

“The bank refused to notarize the document because it is written in Hungarian”

Said the exasperated client to me. “No Problem” for Kenneth A. Edelstein was my reply. There is no requirement for the notary to be able to read the document, none whatsoever. Consider a 765 page document regarding the sale of a Supertanker – do you think the notary will read it prior to notarizing the signature on the last page? Well, if they are not going to read all pages of all documents – why would they want to be able to read some pages of some documents? I doubt if I will ever know.

There are some interesting considerations regarding languages involved in the notarization process. But none have anything to do with the actual document. The main language requirements are related to the required oath given by the notary. The notary must be able to give the oath directly (no interpreter allowed) to the person whose signature will be notarized. The person signing must be able to read the document in order to swear/affirm that the document is truthful/correct. That is the relevant language consideration – the document could be in Braille or Latvian – it does not matter to me.

Part of some notaries’ refusal to handle this situation is their employer’s desire to avoid the possibility of being involved in a lawsuit. Some banks will not notarize a Power of Attorney, some refuse a Bill of Sale – the reasons are the same; avoiding being involved in litigation. If the notary can’t read any of the document it “might” be a prohibited (by “bank” policy) – thus all “unreadable” documents are often refused. At New York Mobile Notary Public that is never the case. While the notary has no requirement to read the document – if – at a glance – the document is “improper” – for example a contract to commit a crime; all notaries should refuse to notarize. However, there is NO requirement for the notary to determine that the document is lawful.

It is a “best practice” to prepare foreign language documents in both languages. Most times this is done by formatting the document into two columns with English on one side and the other language on the other. One advantage of doing this is that it allows the affiant to sign twice. The signature on the English side will be compared to their ID – the other language is not. Thus, it is the English signature that is being notarized – and most ID documents in this country have English signatures. However, I personally would accept a Chinese signature if it matched the signature on a Chinese passport and the picture of the passport holder looked like the person signing the document in front of me.

Tie a ribbon around the book and give to your partner along with your dozen rose gifts. * Another variation to buying a journal and filling it with quotes is to write all the memorable moments you have shared and how you felt during those times.

What ��being romantic�� means varies widely from person to person, but at its core, romance involves doing something to express affection in a meaningful yet unexpected way. A true act of romance requires creativity and sincerity, inspired by love. There are millions of romantic ideas in books, movies, and on the Internet, but true romance comes from within. Here are some thoughts and ideas to get in touch with your inner romantic person. What Is Romance? Romance is a gift from God! Although it��s not so much a definition, as it is no more precise than the word ��romance�� itself, one way to describe romance succinctly is ��what women or men want out of a relationship��. But though romance may not be definable, there are still some heavenly, universal laws that bestow an appreciation, a gratitude and a gift of experience that we so long to desire. Below, we have documented many of the inspirational elements of romance. Mix these infinite jewels up, and you have a treasure chest of happiness, romance and unconditional love. Intrinsic Romance Being Intrinsic is belonging naturally. It means essential. Intrinsic Romance is an essential ardent emotional attachment/involvement between two people. Love your partner naturally. Low Light Candles are romantic. Sunrises and sunsets are romantic. Any kind of low light, is romantic, hence why dinner dates after dark are more romantic than lunch dates at noon. Combine low light sources, and it stands to reason that the air of romance will be so thick, your beloved will be blind to anything else but the radiance of her shimmering knight in armor. Red Red is romantic, because red is the color of love and passion. Consider roses. Red roses mean, ��I love you.�� So you do not want to be wrong. Get her red roses, red ribbons, red balloons, red teddy bears, red puppies, and red tickets to the World Series, and she��ll fall hopelessly under your spell. Background Music Background music is romantic, and note the word ��background,�� because not just any music is romantic. Base your selection on music that is soothing and pleasing to your senses. Chocolate There is nothing sweeter than showing how you really feel for one special person especially by presenting him or her with a box of Belgium pralines or a basketful of assorted chocolate squares, drops and bonbons with or without a bouquet of flowers. Impulsive Act out an impulsive gesture every once in awhile. It should proceed from natural feeling or impulse without any external stimulus; ��an impulsive gesture of affection�� is a perfect way to be romantic, when she least expects it. Your Time One of the required ingredients of romance is your time. Enjoy each other, together. Remembering Birthdays and Anniversaries Remembering your beloved��s birthday and your anniversary is a necessity. If you are the forgetful type or do not abide by a calendar, you can always utilize www.RoseFarm.Com International to remind you of any special dates coming up. Simply signup, enter the dates you want to remember, and Rosefarm.com will send you an email. Style Even if you get all the essentials of romance right, a lack of style could still foul you up. Try to be as honest, sincere and loving as you possibly can, as this is the optimum romantic style. Your lover will notice how elegant, humble, refined, independent, thoughtful, responsible, compassionate, spontaneous, reputable, graceful, polite, literate, entertaining, discreet, funny, upstanding, sensitive, fun, sophisticated, pleasant, selfless, reverent, and genuine you are. ��LIVE IN LOVE.�� -Charlie and Jenny Share and Enjoy with Everyone: About Charlie Farricielli Charles E.

Why you need an Apostille

Why you need an Apostille

We all know what it means to have a document notarized. The notary, a sworn independent officer of the state verifies your signature and identity documents. The notary then proceeds to place the notary stamp and embosser on the document. At this point, your signature has been verified and your document is, after the notary oath, considered notarized. But, there is the reason for an Apostille: considered notarized by whom? If the stamp of the notary is unknown to the receiver of the document, it adds little value. I, Kenneth A Edelstein have notarized thousands of documents. Most are for use in the USA and my notary stamp + raised seal is all that is required for the document to be considered notarized.

It’s a very different case when the document leaves the USA. Foreign officials are not familiar with the notary stamps and seals of American notaries. They certainly would have an especially difficult time if verification of the notary’s commission and status were required. Add the possibility that the document is going to a non-English speaking country; the “good in the USA” notarization would be worthless. It might be viewed as a “tax stamp”. Clearly there is a need for a notarization to be recognized on a global scale. That is exactly the purpose of the Apostille.

The Apostille, a standard document added to a notarization provides a common format, and verbiage, for the global acceptance of notary functions. It’s not just for documents leaving the USA for France. It works both ways: an Apostille bearing document originating in France is accepted in the USA – exactly as if the signature had been notarized in Manhattan. The French government is “on record” as having authenticated the validity of the Parisian notary. There is no need to be able to research – or even read the notarization done in French.

As a New York Mobile Notary Public – I process and obtain Apostilles frequently. There are two formats, loosely referred to by the inclusive term: Apostille. The more common is the true “Apostille” – issued by and for signatory nations of Article 12 of The Hague Convention. This agreement is in place to facilitate the international flow of personal, compared to business documents. For business documents, a more complex and costly procedure: Embassy / Consulate Legalization is often required. Non-signatory nations receive a “Certification” – often serving the same purpose, but sometimes not. Some non-signatory nations still require Legalization for personal documents such as: Birth Certificates, School Documents, Marriage Documents, etc.

Notarization is a Serious Process

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:08:32 GMT

It’s a popular misconception that Notarization is a trivial process. This paper will ignore the issue of improperly processed (by the notary) notarizations, and address the issue of what it really means to have your signature notarized. I http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com will work with the assumption that the notarization is done legally and properly. Speaking only for New York State, the notary is a Commissioned and sworn officer of the New York State Department of State. That means the notary has taken a legal oath to uphold, and follow, the laws of New York in discharging their duties. It is the responsibility of the notary to be aware of, and follow changing regulations and procedures.

As an “officer of the State”, the notary administers an oath to persons whose signatures they will notarize. There are several formats, but the concept is the same – you are “under oath” to tell the truth. But what if you are not telling the truth? When I ask “Do you acknowledge that this is your signature, that you understood and willfully signed this document, and that the statements are true and accurate to the best of your knowledge and belief”, it’s an official question. A positive reply allows me to add my credentials and signature to the document. Then the document is considered to have a notarized signature.

A false statement under oath to a notary public is exactly the same as a false statement in a courtroom after being sworn by the Bailiff of the Court. It is the crime of Perjury, lying under oath. As a http://newyorkmobilenotarypublic.com I pass no judgment on the content of the document – you are the one testifying as to your belief and understanding of the document’s truthfulness. My responsibility is to verify your identity, to a reasonable extent. A well forged driver’s license will fool many Police Officers in addition to fooling a notary public.

Thus, the notarized document is a sworn statement by the affiant who signed the document. Such documents are generally permitted to be presented in a court of law – without the need for the affiant to be present to identify and testify as to having signed the document. It is the impartial notary’s signature and seal that lends validity to the signature (not the content of the document). Consider carefully your response to the notary’s question when giving you the oath. You are “going on record” by your signature, it would be difficult later to say “I did not sign that”.

Protect Yourself from Shoddy Notarizations

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 07:14:44 GMT

I see it ever day. Shoddy “half” notarizations being done by notaries who either don’t know proper procedures or just wish to save themselves a moment of time. However, the damage such improper work can cause is hard to assess. I doubt if it’s a case of “don’t know” as all notaries in New York State are required to pass an exam to obtain their commission. You can find a copy of the notary law on my web site New York Mobile Notary Public probably worth reading if you have many documents notarized; or if your documents are important.

The most common partial notarization merely consists of the notary using their rubber stamp and signing the paper. That is NOT a notarization. To the untrained eye it looks like a notarization – but it certainly does not follow the requirements for a proper notarization. A properly notarized document has statements and signatures from BOTH you – and the notary. You need to make a statement, not just sign your name. The notary must also make a statement, in addition to signing the form.

It is also REQUIRED that the “venue” – the State and County where the notarization took place; be clearly stated on the document – usually at the top of the page (or above the notary stamp). This is one of the most frequently overlooked aspects of notarization. In addition to using the rubber stamp, the notary should emboss (use the raised seal) for any documents that might be going out of New York State. It’s a good practice for the notary to emboss every time.

The notary statement should include the date and the name of the affiant (the persons whose signature is being notarized) and the “type” of notarization service performed. Common types include the “acknowledgement” and the “sworn to and subscribed” formats. As a New York State notary, Kenneth A Edelstein is often asked to process documents that have already been notarized to obtain apostilles and certifications. That is usually when the flawed notarization is rejected – when it is examined by trained municipal employees. Sometimes the document can be easily redone – other times the holder of the document has a big problem.

Worst SEO Blunders

Sun, 13 Jun 2010 06:06:51 GMT

Worst SEO Blunders

According to Search Engine Land Many consider search engine optimization as a sort of black box. But once the essential features of a search engine optimal website are laid out in a concise list, SEO is not nearly as mystifying.

The Big secret is, "There is No Secret"

Every web site owner wants more traffic and higher rankings in the search engines. In the midst of an SEO campaign, however, it’s easy to lose sight of the forest for the trees. So before you change a single title, you might want to shift your focus to answer some important questions.

So what do I mean by losing sight of the forest for the trees anyway? You’ve probably heard that expression since you were a teenager at least. You may even know that it means focusing on the details to the point that you lose sight of the big picture – and with the amount of detail work that goes into a proper SEO project, that’s easy to do.

The mission of search engines is to supply their visitors with relevant results, so penalizing or banning sites that appear to interfere with that mission is a necessity. Understanding which blunders adversely impact your search engine rankings is a prerequisite to a well-optimized site.

1. Do you use pull-down boxes for navigation? Search engine spiders can’t fill out forms, even short ones with just one pull-down. Thus, they can’t get to the pages that follow. If you’re using pull-downs, make sure there is an alternate means of navigating to those pages that the spiders can use. Note this is not the same as a mouseover menu, where sub-choices show up upon hovering over the main navigation bar; that’s fine if done using CSS (rather than Javascript.)

2. Does your primary navigation require Flash, Java or Javascript? If you rely on search engine spiders executing Flash, Java or Javascript code in order to access links to deeper pages within your site, you’re taking a big risk. The search engines have a limited ability to deal with Flash, Java and Javascript. So the links may not be accessible to the spiders, or the link text may not get associated with the link. Semantically marked up HTML is always the most search engine friendly way to go.

3. Is your site done entirely in Flash or overly graphical with very little textual content? Text is always better than graphics or Flash animations for search engine rankings. Page titles and section headings should be text, not graphics. The main textual content of the page should ideally not be embedded within Flash. If it is, then have an alternative text version within div tags and use SWFObject to determine whether that text is displayed based on whether the visitor has the Flash plugin installed.

4. Is your home page a “splash page” or otherwise content-less? With most webites, as mentioned above, the home page is weighted by the search engines as the most important page on the site (i.e., given the highest PageRank score.) Thus, having no keyword-rich content on your home page is a missed opportunity.

5. Does your site employ frames? Search engines have problems crawling sites that use frames (i.e., where part of the page moves when you scroll but other parts stay stationary.) Google advises not using frames: “Frames tend to cause problems with search engines, bookmarks, emailing links and so on, because frames don’t fit the conceptual model of the Web (every page corresponds to a single URL.) “Furthermore, if a frame does get indexed, searchers clicking through to it from search results will often find an “orphaned page”: a frame without the content it framed, or content without the associated navigation links in the frame it was intended to display with. Often, they will simply find an error page.What about “iFrames”, you ask? iFrames are better than frames for a variety of reasons, but the content within an iframe on a page still won’t be indexed as part of that page’s content.

6. Do the URLs of your pages Include “cgi-bin” or numerous ampersands? As discussed, search engines are leery of dynamically generated pages. That’s because they can lead the search spider into an infinite loop called a “spider trap.” Certain characters (question marks, ampersands, equal signs) and “cgi-bin” in the URL are sure-fire tip-offs to the search engines that the page is dynamic and thus to proceed with caution. If the URLs have long, overly complex “query strings” (the part of the URL after the question mark), with a number of ampersands and equals signs (which signify that there are multiple variables in the query string), then your page is less likely to get included in the search engine’s index.

7. Do the URLs of your pages include session IDs or user IDs? If your answer to this question is yes, then consider this: search engine spiders like Googlebot don’t support cookies, and thus the spider will be assigned a new session ID or user ID on each page on your site that it visits. This is the proverbial “spider trap” waiting to happen. Search engine spiders may just skip over these pages. If such pages do get indexed, there will be multiple copies of the same pages each taking a share of the PageRank score, resulting in PageRank dilution and lowered rankings.If you’re not quite clear on why your PageRank scores will be diluted, think of it this way: Googlebot will find minimal links pointing to the exact version of a page with a particular session ID in its URL.

8. Do you unnecessarily spread your site across multiple domains? This is typically done for load balancing purposes. For example, the links on the JCPenney.com home page point off to www2.jcpenney.com, or www3.jcpenney.com, or www4.jcpenney.com and so on, depending on which server is the least busy. This dilutes PageRank in a way similar to how session IDs in the URL dilute PageRank.

9. Are your title tags the same on all pages? Far too many websites use a single title tag for the entire site. If your site falls into that group, you’re missing out on a lot of search engine traffic. Each page of your site should “sing” for one or several unique keyword themes. That “singing” is stifled when the page’s title tag doesn’t incorporate the particular keyword being targeted.

10. Do you have pop-ups on your site? Most search engines don’t index Javascript-based pop-ups, so the content within the pop-up will not get indexed. If that’s not good enough reason to stop using pop-ups, you should know that people hate them – with a passion. Also consider that untold millions of users have pop-up blockers installed. (The Google Toolbar and Yahoo Companion toolbar are pop-up blockers, too, in case you didn’t know.)

I expect many of you will look at these questions and think that they should be asked well before a site goes live, very early in the design process. That’s probably true. But it’s also true that web sites evolve over time, rather like people. They change, grow, and adapt to conditions in the marketplace. By the time a web site has been up for a couple of years (or even less), it might be a very different creature from what the site owner originally had in mind.

This kind of change is not a bad thing, per se. We all get a certain amount of satisfaction out of growing and tweaking our sites, and then watching what happens. If we’re not looking clearly at what the site is turning into, however, we can’t see what it needs.

Search engine optimization could be a tiring task but with time it sure helps you get better traffic.

Today Google Real-Time Search Changes Everything. Not being where your customer is looking could be costing you their business! Search engines are tightening up the loopholes to manipulate positioning.

What are Search Engine Optimization Services?

Search engine promotion services are designed to promote improved rankings for web sites. Basically, the term refers to a wide-range of activities which are combined for the sole purpose of securing top spots at major search engines, such as Google, Yahoo and Bing and boosting the size of your web site's traffic.

These services typically include researching keywords extensively so that the best are chosen for your site. The development of SEO content, including tags, and link building are also important aspects of search engine promotion services.

Why Use Search Engine Optimization Services?

Using Search engine optimization services is important for one because of all the new technologies being incorporated by leading search engines. For example, Google is now using a process called Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) to help calculate the page rankings. This technique involves the use of language and the relationships between words. The purpose is to weed out sites that are merely fluff content wrapped around keywords. SEO Specialist Online has now begun incorporating this same technology into their search engine promotion services to ensure continued high rankings for our clients.

LSI is only one example. The search engines are constantly changing their ranking methods in order to create the best possible experience for users so using professional search engine promotion services is the only one way to keep up with those changes without losing your ranking.

Your old Vital Records are often useless

Sun, 18 Apr 2010 07:12:27 GMT

It happens two or three times a week.

My clients are positively stunned to discover that their Birth Certificate is useless for the processing they desire. That Birth Certificate is the one that Mom received so long ago. “But it’s the original – how can it be useless” is the most common lament. As a New York Mobile Notary Public I tell them what they need is a newly issued “Certified Copy”. “A copy? – but I have the original, certainly that is better than some copy”. Alas, but they are wrong – and there are several reasons for that reality.

Perhaps the major reason is the nature of their original certificate – issued so long ago. That was a time when photocopiers did not exist, identity theft had not been invented, and the need for information security was epitomized by storage in a safe deposit box. I use a Birth Certificate as an example here. But the same problem applies for many “old” records: Marriage, Divorce, School records, Death certificates and many others. They are just too easy to manipulate with modern computers; graphic software, photocopiers, and color printers. They are all products of our modern era, which did not exist when the documents were issued.

Certified copies, from the vaults keeping the original records are basically photocopies of the same document you have in your possession. However, they are certified with complex and hard to duplicate technology. I have seen “wavy” multicolored seals, embossing, watermarked paper, and other anti-forgery technology used when “certified copies” are issued by various municipal governmental entities. It is that “tamperproof” aspect that makes the newly issued “certified copy” acceptable for modern day use. The content will often be exactly the same as your treasured old original document, only the “packaging” changes.

Kenneth A. Edelstein strongly advises you to take an inventory of your “old” records and apply for modern versions – prior to any personal or “estate” need. The processing time for obtaining these documents can be lengthy. A sudden need, as when you have to show an “acceptable” Birth Certificate to board a cruise ship, is not the time to begin the application process. In my personal opinion, everyone should apply for and have a current passport – the gold standard for identification. That, with a certified copy of your Birth Certificate, again in my personal opinion, is the absolute minimum for personal documentation. However, they are just the starting point. You should review all of your “old” records and have a competent attorney advise you as to which documents should be upgraded to current versions.

Bank Notary Refused because I am not a Customer

Sun, 18 Apr 2010 07:07:17 GMT

That is not only rude, impolite and bad business; it�s also illegal. On my web site there is a link for Notary Laws and Procedures. At http://newyorkmobilenotarypublic.com that link leads to a direct link to the official notary law for New York State. Under Section 195 �Official Misconduct� which is defined as a �Class A Misdemeanor� it states: Notary must officiate on request. The Penal Law (�195.00) provides that an officer before whom an oath or affidavit may be taken is bound to administer the same when requested, and a refusal to do so is a misdemeanor. Thus, it is illegal for a Notary Public to refuse to notarize a document when requested. There are some practical limitations to the requirement. You certainly cannot demand entrance to a private residence to see a notary; no rule requires that the notary permit you into their home. It is generally viewed as applicable to �places of public accommodation�, such as a bank, law office, or pharmacy. You probably would not be able to disrupt someone�s lunch break. But the flat out refusal because you are not a �customer� is totally improper. If you run into this situation; print out a copy of the law from my site, and remind the reticent notary that they took an oath to uphold the notary laws of New York State � and criminal penalties apply to lawbreakers. There is a practical side to public places. You generally have to wait your turn, sometimes in a very long line. �Walk In� notaries are not always available at your convenience. Some are only available on certain days and / or times of the day. Their primary job certainly takes precedence over their secondary accommodation of providing notary services. It�s a good idea for you to find out what day / time the �walk in� notary will be available. When http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com goes to you � at the place and time that suits you best; there is absolutely no wait. In fact, generally arriving a few minutes early, I check my email while waiting for you to become available. If you arrive with a complete �loan package� and require 43 notarizations; I doubt if you would be accommodated. Even the New York County Clerk will not process a large number of notarizations for an individual � it is too disruptive to the others waiting on line for service. It�s different when you have an appointment and the notary can allocate sufficient time for your processing. There are some gray areas related to what a notary will process. Some notaries refuse to do Powers of Attorney, or documents in a Foreign Language. Banks typically refuse both. The former, they see as an exposure of the bank to possible litigation. The latter, I can only guess, is fear of the unknown. There is no legal requirement for me to be able to read the document. I only need to be able to administer the notary oath to the person signing in English, the only language I know. It is not permitted to administer the oath via an interpreter. There are probably other �cases� � but the general law is inflexible. The notary must accommodate your request as long as it is, in the notary�s opinion lawful. That includes proper date, lack of blank spaces, proper ID, etc.

I do want top rankings
I do NOT want top rankings.

Which one of those statements is true for you?

I am willing to invest time or money to get top rankings.
I am NOT willing to invest time or money to get top rankings.

Which one of those statements is true for you?

Not many things in life are black and white...but getting top rankings for your website is.

You either have them or you don't AND you are either willing to do something to get them, or you're not.

I think a lot of people fool themselves into thinking they will do what it takes and then when the times comes to invest the time or put up money, they don't follow through.

I don't mean to be too blunt, and I definitely don't mean to be offensive but I do want to be honest and hopefully get you thinking.

It's worth repeating.

You either have top rankings or you don't.
You are either willing to do something to get top rankings, or you aren't.

What is true for you and what does that truth mean to you, your business and your goals?

It has been said that inaction is action, in and of itself. So, the question is - you are already taking action in some form, so are you taking the right action?

SEO may not be for you. You may not want a lot of new traffic and leads and sales. If that's the case, that's OK.

But if you want or need traffic, leads and sales - then you need top rankings.

Not sure where that come from, but I guess that was my little rant for the day! Stay tuned for more SEO tips.

The Easter Lily is the holiday symbol of life made anew, a new beginning

Enjoy and share the following poem by Louise Lewin Matthews, which captures the spiritual essence of the Easter Lilly:

Easter morn with lilies fair
Fills the church with perfumes rare,
As their clouds of incense rise,
Sweetest offerings to the skies.
Stately lilies pure and white
Flooding darkness with their light,
Bloom and sorrow drifts away,
On this holy hallow'd day.
Easter Lilies bending low
in the golden afterglow,
Bear a message from the sod
To the heavenly towers of God.

Celebrate this Easter with this celestial collection of beautiful blooms.

This bouquet consists of 3 Asiatic Lilies (native to the Ryukyu Islands of southern Japan), 3 Alstroemeria, 3 stems each of Daisy Chrysanthemums and Cremons accented with Solidago and Leather Leaf.

This magical Rose Whispers our love in every conceivable emotion for you. Please accept my gift from the heavens . . . “to you from me”!

For centuries, flowers, herbs and various plants have given much pleasure to people of all nations, because their beauty has the unique ability to bring cheer when someone is ill or downhearted, their fragrances can be used to make lovely perfumes, delicate foliage can be used for certain medicines and foods, and pungent smells can bestir mood.

In fact, they have been so outstanding in this regard, that there is no wonder that mankind has attached significant meanings to them . . . actually going as far as to formulate a language all their own called "fluorography." This "language" was particularly utilized during the Victorian era; however, flowers well into past generations have had religious and symbolic meanings, and still do today.

For example, there were references given to flowers, herbs and plants in Biblical times, and during the Middle Age, Herbs were even believed by some to have magical powers. Therefore, they were given a place of honor in the royal floral gardens. The use of these floral gardens existed well into the Victorian Era and helped to create the elaborate list of meanings to describe these beloved flowers.

History relates that during the reign of Queen Victoria in England, which lasted from 1837 to 1901, (known as the Victorian era) the language of flowers was as important to people as being "well dressed." For example, the recognizable scent of a particular flower, plant or perhaps a scented handkerchief sent its own unique message.

Flowers adorned almost everything . . . hair, clothing, jewelry, gowns, men’s lapels, home décor and china, and stationery, to name a few. A young man could either please or displease a lady . . . by his gift of flowers. Flowers would convey messages of love or dislike depending upon which ones were given, their sizes, how they were held or also grouped together. They had a silent meaning of their very own, and could say what was not dared to be spoken. Even the manner in which flowers were sent had a special meaning. A flower presented in an upright position represented a "positive thought; whereas one presented in the opposite direction had a negative meaning”. Also, a person could say "yes" by offering a flower with the right hand - the left hand "no."

Next time: Dictionaries were written to explain this language to all, and were especially used by "lovers."

NYC Mobile Notary | Foreign Languages and the Notary

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 10:48:37 GMT

"It's written in Bulgarian, can you notarize it?"

Sure, not a problem is my response. It is not the responsibility of the notary to be able to read the document. However, language issues do come into play in the notaries' profession. A distinction must be made between the language of the document and the language of the affiant, the one who will be signing the document. While the notary does not need to be able to read the document, the notary does need to be able to communicate with the affiant. It is the responsibility of the notary to give the "notary oath" to the person signing.

This is often a problem. It is not permissible to use a translator. Communication between the affiant and the notary must be direct. Furthermore, the notary must be certain that the affiant understands the gravity of the oath. Merely giving the oath and receiving the "yes" is not enough - I, Kenneth A. Edelstein am required to actually communicate the oath and be sure that it is understood. When speaking to the affiant - and finding that the notary and the affiant share a common language - usually English - the understanding is obvious. But, when the affiant does not speak the language of the notary there is no real direct communications.

The best solution is to find a notary that speaks the language of the person who will be signing the document. This, at times, can be nearly impossible, even in New York; where almost every language is spoken. However, there is a solution. The use of the "subscribing witness" procedure can sometimes solve the problem. In this scenario, it is the signatures of the "subscribing witnesses" that are notarized. They, in turn, are stating that they know the affiant, have seen the affiant sign the document, and it is their signatures that are notarized. Care should be taken to be sure that this form of notarization will be acceptable by the receiver of the document - as this is a very rarely used procedure. To complicate matters, some jurisdictions require that the subscribing witnesses be "personally" known to the notary - prior to the signing event.

As a New York Mobile Notary Public working in New York City, I have frequently been in mixed language situations. Not all are solvable. Direct notarization of the affiant's signature is one option for a document, there are others. Sometimes the more complex "Court Appointed Guardian" - who can legally sign "in place of" the affiant, is the way to go. The simpler "Power of Attorney" solution has the "how does that (the power of attorney itself) get signed" problem - and is often not the solution. As is often the case, situations that are beyond the skill and legal authority of a notary should be brought to an attorney for resolution and advice.

"It's written in Bulgarian, can you notarize it?"

I receive blessings and pleasure, and incredible gratification

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:35:59 GMT

“Roses are Gods Messenger of Love and Feelings!”

There have been many overwhelming and numerous posts and articles and so called facts in regards to “The Meaning of Roses” and “The Language of Roses”. I thought since I have dedicated my life to roses, fresh rose growing, retail sales and the wholesale rose business as well as consumer experiences since 1974, which is over 34 years that I would research this subject and hopefully “correct” and clarify the true meanings of the wondrous and most magical fresh rose.

I have been successfully and contentedly involved in the business of selling fresh superior roses through RoseFarm.com to lovers and compassionate amorous men and women all over the world, that I wanted to investigate and demonstrate authentic words that could accurately be used to enhance your feelings when giving a miraculous rose.

I receive blessings and pleasure, and incredible gratification when I could assist a loving individual lost for words with the secret language of the rose. Fresh cut roses are the ultimate timeless “expressions verbalizing unconditional love, uttering inner unexplainable feelings and whispering silent messages of ones accurate thoughts from nature’s awe-inspiring rose.”

The language of flowers is a lost art, but some strive to keep the meaning alive through websites. The Victorian era gave rise to "meaning" behind flowers. But just as the Eskimo language has several words for "snow", the floral language may have several meanings for the same flower.

Part of the interpretation of the language of flowers is the powerful emotions between the giver and the recipient. Sometimes even a simple dandelion picked from a lawn by a child can be the most powerful symbol of love to a mother. Buy her what she likes or her favorite rose color or a soft-scented rose and perhaps the emotions behind the gift will give a new meaning in her mind and heart for this flower.

Roses send feelings through the gift of nature! They can converse through their astonishing life form without speaking a word. They bring heaven to the planet and sorrow to joy.

Single roses are simple! They are exceptionally passionate and are the unspoken environmental representation of our pure secret emotions!

The magical rose is nature’s demonstration of effortlessness beauty and mysterious inborn divinity and Heaven’s gift to the planet earth. It is God’s Love Flower from His personality to our humanity! The single rose wordlessly secretly, anxiously, whispers passion, romance, love, honesty, trust, gratitude and every human emotion to “Her” admirable deserving recipient!

The Single Rose is Nature’s Gift for the Heavens! This magical flower, a wonder of the planet, represents a single uncomplicated symbol of unconditional and unexplainable emotions for us to transmit and bestow.

The single rose represents a universal appreciation and power that exploits even the most dominant unseen energy in the universe! The phenomenon of unconditional love! A love so effortlessly concealed by the human soul and yet so powerful it could move mountains of feelings! With the giving of a single rose with love, it can infiltrate the world around us, in us, and in you as well.

Next time: This magical Rose Whispers our love in every conceivable emotion for you. Please accept my gift from the heavens . . . “to you from me”!

Can you Apostille this?

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:08:37 GMT

As a general rule, anything that can be notarized can receive an Apostille.

However you must consider that the notary does the notarization; often at the client premises, while the Apostille is issue at the office of the Department of State. I have actually notarized a fish, honest. The angler wrote with magic marker on the side of the fish "I caught this fish" and I attached a "loose acknowledgement" with a staple to the tail. Thus, he had from Kenneth A. Edelstein a validly notarized fish! However, I would hesitate to bring the notarization bearing fish to the office of the State Department for an Apostille. I suggested he take a picture of the fish, which I notarized and then Apostille processed the photograph. He simply signed the back of the picture with his "I caught...." statement.

It is much more common to notarize paper documents. These vary from: copies of a passport, officially issued copies of a marriage license, to business contracts. Just about any document that can be signed can receive an Apostille after a valid notarization. After the notarization, which must be flawless, some jurisdictions require the notary's signature to be validated. I would not bring a fish to the municipal building to have my signature verified! Some documents contain a "notarization" when they are issued. In New York City, the "long form" of Birth, Death, and Marriage certificates are issued "notarized".

As a New York Mobile Notary Public, over the past decade, my experiences have varied from the routine to the extraordinary. I have obtained a single Apostille for a Power of Attorney for a lady's attorney in Italy to sell her villa. At the other extreme, I was instrumental in processing literally dozens of Apostille bearing forms, for several nations; relating to the sale of a supertanker. Many of these also required Embassy Legalization for the sale to proceed. That was a project! However, most clients have lesser needs - but to them the accuracy and speed are just as important. The key to a successful Apostille project is the foundational notarization - it must be perfect.

As a general rule it is best to obtain an Apostille, when state or county issued documents are involved; in the state where the documents were issued. It is possible to bypass this suggestion - but the Apostille obtained might not be acceptable at the point of use. You should discuss the actual ultimate use of the document with your notary. If the notary is not sure how you should proceed, your situation should be brought to an attorney. A notary is forbidden to give legal - "how shall I proceed" advice - and the additional skills of the attorney are worth the expense to be sure your plans are achieved.

Another Happy Camper: Apostille for use in FRANCE

Kenneth Edelstein is the best! I had a "catch -22" that would have made Joseph Heller do somersaults... Ken found a way out through his tenaciousness, his competence, his knowledge, his insightfulness... what can I say but a humble "thank you" in front of this amazingly kind and thoughtful man... it doesn't hurt that on top of it all, he has a wonderfully dry and "New York" sense of humor!

Lots of best wishes and love to you and Sandy... will call you if you don't mind for that champagne when we come back in the summer...

PS it goes without saying that if you come over to Paris we'll do the town together ...

Google Buzz goes after Facebook, Twitter

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 07:43:15 GMT

Is Google Jumping into the Social Media Waters?

Facebook, Twitter and Now Google!

Just reported on CNN Google is Jumping into the Social Media Waters!

Google is expected to plunge into the world of Facebook and Twitter, using its popular Gmail service to allow users to post status updates and items.

The search-engine giant, which recently tweaked its search function to allow easier access to social media results, has planned an event for Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET at its California headquarters.

That comes a day after the Wall Street Journal quoted "people familiar with the matter" saying the feature would allow Facebook-style status updates, as well as pinging when users post something to affiliated sites like YouTube or Picasa.

If it appears as described, it would be a sort of anti-Twitter, making a user's updates private by default, as opposed to open, as they are on the micro-blogging site.

The hands-down leader in the search engine world, Google has been branching out on projects that include its Nexus One smartphone -- the company's first foray into hardware marketing.

Late last month, Google announced that people could tweak their accounts to make results related to friends, co-workers and other members of their social networks appear above all other results.

The Social Search feature was introduced to a limited number of Google users last year and was made available to everyone in beta status on January 28.

The change came with a hint of more things to come.

"This is just a first step in our ongoing effort to ensure that Google Web search is always as social as the Web itself," the company said in an instructional video posted to its official blog.

Fingerprinting vs. Police Department

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 07:06:41 GMT

NYC Notary Fingerprinting vs. Police Department?

I fingerprint dozens of people each month in New York City. However, sometimes I must decline. It's not that I would not do a high quality job; it's that in some very rare circumstances I am not qualified. The recipient of the fingerprint cards "sets the rules" and there are some that mandate fingerprinting must be done "by a law enforcement officer". I am a certified, insured, and highly experienced fingerprinting technician, but I am not a law enforcement officer. As a New York Mobile Notary Public, I ask that you carefully read the instructions you received from the agency requesting the fingerprint cards. They set the rules. Fortunately, this requirement is very rare.

Obtaining Police Department fingerprinting can be quite a frustrating experience. They rarely are willing to make appointments. When an appointment is secured, it is common for the fingerprint officer to be "on police business" and no one knows when they will be returning. Some larger police stations will have an entry line with metal detectors; require you to remove your shoes, etc. It is common that cameras and communications equipment must be "checked" at the door - and are returned upon departure. Some Police Departments only do "live scan" and will not give you a set of inked prints. Often there are no chairs, and a long wait....

That is not how Kenneth A. Edelstein operates. The main difference is that I go to you at a time of your convenience; bringing all necessary equipment. On my web site there are several helpful suggestions to facilitate successful fingerprinting. The key ones are having the room slightly cool, good lighting, and a counter height midway between your waist and shoulder (more or less - it's not that critical). However, fingerprinting at an ankle height cocktail table is impossible. Equally impossible is obtaining good prints in a hot and humid kitchen where food is being boiled amid billowing clouds of steam!

Unlike the "in a hurry" Police personnel, I take the time for proper finger preparation. I will ask you to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water. Next, I will apply a pre-fingerprinting finger preparation wipe of alcohol that removes any remaining moisture. I take the time to explain how you can assist me in obtaining the clearest prints possible. Lastly, my fingerprint cleaning wipes will remove all traces of ink and leave your hands spotless. I am one of the very few (I know of no other), but hesitate to say "the only one"; who fully guarantees acceptance of the cards. My guarantee gives you the choice of receiving a full immediate refund, or having me redo the job. Fingerprinting can be both convenient and a pleasant experience, call 917-864-3564 for more information.
