Because of the rise of sedentary jobs, the gym business has been booming in the last decade. Relying on membership fees to keep a gym going is good, but as a business owner, you always want to grow your operations. An excellent way to do this is by adding an income stream. If you’re interested, here are some suggestions:

Sell Food

One of the simplest and best ways to increase revenue in your gym is by adding a food stall or a small restaurant area. Gyms these days are no longer sweaty pumping rooms. Putting up a healthy food franchise like Chop Stop inside the gym is not a wild idea, and it’s probably going to be patronized by your current customers. People are becoming busier, with folks going to the gym before the sun is up. Why not help them skip a step by offering breakfast at the gym? It can only be good!

Run Boot Camps

A proven way to add money to your register each month is to tickle your membership’s competitive bones. Run boot camps that both members and non-members can join. Sweeten the deal by adding prizes for the best finishers. Use unique themes to keep things interesting. Be creative! Charge a small fee for people to join and schedule weekly group workouts to monitor everybody’s progress.

Offer Massages

Do you want to earn more money? Offer massages in your gym. Sometimes, foam rollers aren’t enough. Members will be interested in getting the services of a licensed massage therapist. Tie up with a local professional therapist and design a profit-sharing split that both parties are happy with. You can handle the schedule and space, and the therapist can take care of the rest.

These are just three things that you can do to increase the earnings of your gym. Are you excited to try them? Good luck!

Bestsellers are the lifeblood of a restaurant business. However, sticking to a fixed menu without ever changing it is a recipe for disaster. These days, innovative and unique dishes attract customers, especially millennials who are the top food spenders. If you're about to launch a new recipe in your business, here are three ways to make sure you get the word out:

Visuals Make the Launch

While taste and service are the pillars of the food business, having the right visuals can make or break a marketing campaign for a new dish. When planning a dish launch, make sure that you consider presentation. For example, desserts, cold cuts, and pastries look fresh and delicious when inside deli display equipment. Hire a professional photographer and videographer to take some photos and videos of your place. You can use these things to market the new dish online.

Social Media Is Your Best Friend

These days, it's normal for people to look up a restaurant on social media before going to the actual place. Make sure you use great photos and interesting descriptions when posting about your food offerings. It also pays to spend a bit of money on promoting social media posts to spread the word on your new dishes. A launch promo can also help spread the word and get new customers into the restaurants.

Food Deals Are In

Regular customers always have go-to menu items. However, you should still recommend your new dishes to them. You can create promos that include your best-selling items. Group deals and free sample-size servings can work in your favour.

Introducing a new dish is exciting for any restaurant owner. It's a sign of more better things to come. The anticipation of how new customers and regulars react to new offerings is very exciting. Follow these tips to make the most out of it!

One of the most practical investments that will generate income is owning a rental property. However, not everyone is aware of the ins and outs of the rental industry, nor is ready to be a landlord. But, like other things in life, there’s no better chance than now.

Instead of pushing it for another day, here are some reasons to finally buy that condo for sale in Pasig and make your dreams of renting it out for profit a reality. Here’s a quick guide to help you:

Do your own research

You might have friends or family members who have had the same investments. There will be tips and opinions given to you, which could be helpful, but this doesn’t mean that you’re exempted from doing your own research. Do your homework and know more about the developer, the property you’re planning to buy, as well as the terms you would get yourself into. There’s no better way to have a successful rental business than being prepared.

Have a budget

You would have to shell out a great capital for this, so having a reasonable budget is a must. Don’t forget to consider additional payments like taxes as well as monthly association dues when doing your calculations.

Make sure you’re ready to be a landlord

Being a landlord is not easy. You have responsibilities toward your tenant, the condominium, as well as the government. Knowing what to expect before accepting the job can help you prepare for what’s to come.

Understand the market

As part of your research, you should be able to understand the local market trends. Why is your chosen property going to be rented by others? Is the area safe? Will the trend grow in the long run?  You might not be an economist, but taking these things into consideration can help you make the right investment decision.

Start educating yourself and see how you can enjoy the benefits of having your own rental property in no time.

For a while, Brisbane was Australia’s fastest-growing urban area. Although the growth rate has tapered off, it still registers some of the highest median value growths. This means that the neighbourhoods and residential developments around Brisbane are experiencing value appreciation. This is good news for those who want to invest in property as well as for those who already own property around Brisbane.

Property Value Growth

The property appreciation in Brisbane stems from several factors. The city has a high population growth rate and a growing job market. It is the third largest city in Australia with more than 2.3 million residents. It has a large influx of immigrants with a resulting diverse population. It has a sub-tropical climate, with winters seldom going below 20 °C. In summer, the temperatures are usually above 30 °C. Those who like wearing shorts and T-shirts can do so year-round in Brisbane. Brisbane has sunshine 261 days of the year. Unlike other major cities that are located along the coast, Brisbane is about an hour away from sandy beaches. The Brisbane River flows through the city. It also has its own man-made beach, Streets Beach. Tropical cyclones hit the area annually, and during summer, rainfall can reach 450 millimetres.

Population Diversity

The city’s diversity is seen from the 2011 census, where it showed that up to 24% of Brisbane residents were born overseas. There are also six neighbourhoods where there are more foreign-born residents than Australian-born. There is a large diversity in the population with 6% of the population were originally from the UK, and another 4% are from New Zealand. About 15% of those were from a non-English speaking country. Besides the UK and New Zealand, Brisbane residents come from China, Germany, Samoa, South Africa, the Netherlands, the Philippines, and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

Brisbane is a bustling city with a large sprawl. It has a suburb with plenty of cultural diversity. It is a growing city with large stretches of development. The area is open to further growth in the coming years.

Investing in Lithium Ion: Three Questions to Ask http://theatlanticbridge.com/investing-in-lithium-ion-three-questions-to-ask/ Thu, 11 Oct 2018 01:00:00 +0000 http://theatlanticbridge.com/?p=2177 In spite of being popular, there are still many questions that surround lithium ion.

In spite of being popular, there are still many questions that surround lithium ion. For those keen on investing in it, here are three questions that matter:

What’s the demand for lithium ion?

The demand for lithium ion is strong. Data from Technavio revealed that it has a compound annual growth rate of more than 11%. Within the same forecast period, it can reach an income of $81.65 billion. This only refers to batteries.

The increased need for these batteries will come from electric vehicles. International Energy Agency forecasts that there will be over 122 million of them by 2030. It’s not only Tesla that will manufacture these types of cars. Even the mainstream ones such as Volkswagen AG are producing them.

Where can you get more information about the lithium market?

Those who have an interest in the minerals industry can participate in a lithium conference. There are many of these events coming up. Each symposium can have its own objective. It might be to talk about the market or dispel myths. Either way, you can get plenty of pointers that can help you make smart decisions.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of lithium ion?

All types of minerals have strengths and weaknesses. When it comes to lithium ion, the most significant benefit is that it is lightweight. It is the reason why most types of electronics use it. It takes only a short time to charge, and the self-discharge rate is much slower than that of nickel-metal hydride.

On the other hand, the cost of production remains high. As long as the prices are high, the final goods will also be pricey. It can also become unstable and combustible. The safety concerns can be one of the reasons why some people want to stay away from it. Still, multiple studies aim to make these minerals not only more efficient but also much safer.

Should you invest in lithium ion or not? It depends on the goals of your business. Many minerals can provide you with lucrative opportunities. Joining mineral conferences is one of the ways to help you decide.

Is the sandwich just a passing craze or will they stand the test of time? The appeal that a sandwich brings to consumers is only beginning to increase. Sandwiches offer great amounts of control and are always upfront and honest.

Creating your own sandwich shop can be difficult, but following business models that are tried and tested can be a cost-effective way to reduce risk and ensure profitability. You can, for instance, franchise a sandwich shop to get your foot in the door of the food service industry.

Run a Sandwich Shop

Running a franchise is an affordable and profitable investment especially for someone just starting out in this type of business. Franchising is easier, cheaper, and less risky than creating a brand new business because there are already tried and tested business models that you can follow.

Sandwich shop franchising, like most other franchises, is a team effort. It is important that people skills and work ethic go together.

Sandwich shops have new, improving, and nutritional menus. The menu changes so frequently because there are wide ranges of food for all hours of the day. There are huge selections of vegetables, spreads, and bread to choose from. As a franchisee, you’ll often get to constantly update the sandwich of the week.

The popularity of sandwiches and sandwich shops ensures that you’ll be catering to a big audience. You get to sell more and see how a sandwich can bring people together.

Attraction of a Sandwich

Sandwiches offer you great amounts of control. The ease of creating a sandwich allows you to tailor it to the way you feel. Have it your way by making it big or small and adding whatever condiments you want.

Warm sandwiches serve as comfort food. They are appetizing all year round, no matter the weather and no matter your mood.

Sandwiches display true honesty. You always know what you’re going to get because they always lay all their cards out on the table. They speak for themselves without providing any mixed signals or messages. They can often look a mess, but they are delectable no matter what. They can, for instance, look plain on the outside but be filled with richness within.

As the owner of a sandwich franchise, you can reap the many benefits that making and having a sandwich has without the risks associated with beginning a business from scratch.

How to Select the Right Air Conditioner http://theatlanticbridge.com/how-to-select-the-right-air-conditioner/ Fri, 05 Oct 2018 21:29:44 +0000 http://theatlanticbridge.com/?p=2162 When the warm Aussie summers come, there is nothing like the cool breeze of air conditioners.

When the warm Aussie summers come, there is nothing like the cool breeze of air conditioners. They give instant comfort from the blistering sun with the flip of a switch. However, not all air conditioning units are the same, and finding the right fit for your home can be a challenge.

 

Every air conditioner has different specifications, and selecting the wrong model can damage not only your house but also your budget. Thus, before ordering one in Sydney, air conditioning contractors advise that you do your research first. Here are some things to consider before buying an air conditioner:

 

Size Matters

 

The most significant consideration is the size. Measure your room’s size and use that as a guide to picking out the right air conditioner. Picking the wrong size means that your unit will have to work twice as hard to make the room cold.

 

A low-capacity air conditioner will not only cause a strain on your electric bill but on the air conditioner as well. The reverse can be said for an air conditioner with a capacity (measured in tonnes) that is too large for your room. Larger air conditioners will gobble up your savings.

 

Location

 

Where you put your air conditioner is just as important as what kind of air conditioner you have. Your AC must be in the centre of your room. That way, it can cool the room evenly.

 

If you choose an installation spot far from the room's centre, pick a place where the air can flow freely. Most air conditioners come with a swing feature that helps direct the flow of air.

 

Air conditioners come in all shapes and sizes. With the right pick, you and your family can retreat indoors and bask in the cold air without having to sacrifice your savings or standards.

The green movement is continually expanding and has now found a home in funerals. The number of green cemeteries has been growing steadily. These are the number one option for over 64% of adults aged forty and above.

There are now different green cemetery options a funeral service home like Lindquist Mortuaries and Cemeteries in Roy will have for those interested. These burial grounds are categorized according to their degree of natural resources and environmental conservation. Here are the three primary green cemetery categories.

Hybrid Cemeteries

These in most instances are regular cemeteries. Hybrid burial grounds, unlike traditional options, offer burial without an inverted or partial vault, concrete box, partitioned or slab liner or a vault lid but rather green funeral caskets. Bodies interred in hybrid cemeteries have no embalming restrictions.

Natural Cemeteries

These cemeteries have more restrictions compared to hybrid burial grounds. Bodies interred here are also buried in natural casket materials which will degrade over time. They should also be embalmed using eco-friendly chemicals and natural means only. Natural burial grounds, unlike hybrid ones, use pesticide-free systems to maintain the landscape and have restrictions on the size, visibility, and type of your memorial markers. This is to preserve the cemetery’s natural landscape.

Conservation Cemeteries

These are the highest level of eco-friendly burial grounds available. They meet all the requirements of natural and hybrid burial grounds. Other than these criteria, conservation cemeteries have established conservation groups which augment eco-conservation goals.

Other than the green casket materials required in the above burial grounds, green headstones are also a standard requirement. If you or your loved one want to contribute towards the earth’s sustainability even after your passing on, then the above burial ground options are your best choice.

There are now pre-planning funeral services available which you can use to guarantee your wishes are followed and ease a funeral planning burden for your loved ones.

Bed bugs have always been something small but sinister in the collective mindset. “Don’t let the bedbugs bite” is a common enough phrase said to someone about to sleep. It seems as if bedbugs are always in bed, and waiting for the hapless sleeper.

The truth is that bedbugs don’t need to be always in bed. They don’t need to be infesting your home. The remedies may sound easy to do, but it does require a professional to properly heat a room for bed bug treatment. They are easy to find and can be tough to control, but the room or the house can be cleaned and rid of this infestation.

Signs of Infestation

The most telling sign of a bedbug infestation is the smell. It is a distinctive musky, fetid, and sweet smell. It comes from the dried bedbug feces. These are tiny reddish or brown spots left on the bed, sheets, walls, or upholstery. The reddish or brownish spots are the dried blood which comes with the bedbug poo. These spots can be found in clusters, with the heaviest clustering indicating where the bedbug spends the most time.

Like a parasite, the bedbug bites the victim without killing it. They do not transmit diseases. The only pain inflicted on humans and animals is the itch where the bedbugs bite. The bedbugs inject an anticoagulant into the bloodstream of the victim. This prevents the blood from clotting while it is being sucked by the parasite. Unfortunately, the anti-coagulant causes some itching sometime afterward. The victim does not feel the bedbugs while they bite.

Where They Hide

Bedbugs are flat insects and burrow between the linings of clothes and linen. They can also be found in tiny spaces in furniture, mattresses, bed frames, headboards, chairs and other small recesses less than the width of a credit card. Professional treatment is required to address an infestation. The chances of a homeowner controlling bedbugs are very slim.

Detecting a bedbug infestation is easy, as well as finding where they hide. It is hard to remove them all, however, due to the way they hide from sight.
