San Francisco

5 July

Having arrived in San Fran yesterday, just a few hours before we left home, we were dead beat and slept late, albeit somewhat fitfully.  We bought breakfast in the hotel, just as they were closing the kitchen at 10am – then went back to bed and slept until 3.15! A very weird day for us!!

We then walked the kilometre or two to Downtown, exploring a little as we went, and called in at several places trying to buy a bigger backpack. The one I was using was filled to capacity so we decided to invest in a bigger one.  We finally found a place with a suitable range just a few doors from the Aida Hotel where we will be staying on our way back to Melbourne in a couple of months’ time.  The first time we came to San Fran in 1995, we stayed at Aida and bought a new suitcase at the very same luggage shop we bought the backpack.  On that occasion, we had broken the wheels off our case getting it down the stairs in Richmond before we even left home on that trip so we had to replace it in San Fran after struggling with it at the Tullamarine and SF airports and then the Shuttle and hotel.

We needed to buy a few comestibles – mainly tea, sugar and coffee – interesting that the instant coffee was under lock and key and we had to get a staff member to free it from its prison so we could buy it. Apparently, coffee is one of the things that is commonly stolen (lots of other very basic things were also locked up) but I can’t see how locking it up protects it.  We were still free to walk around with it and presumably hide it in our backpack before approaching the checkout.

Shopping for olives?  Large, mild and nutty!

It was great to see and hear the trolley buses (in my view far and away the best, quietest, most comfortable, cheapest and cleanest form of mass transport – as well as being very traffic-friendly) as well as the streetcars (trams).  I have long advocated removal of trams and all their overblown infrastructure from Melbourne to be replaced with trolleys.  The streetcars have been purchased from all over the world and retain their original livery and branding.  There is even a W-class Melbourne tram here – apparently recently acquired and still under test when we saw it.

The clanging of the streetcars, the police sirens and the mournful wail of the Amtrak locos are all very nostalgic reminders of our previous trips here, and particularly of San Fran.  It always fascinates me how sounds and smells in particular can transport us instantly to another time and place.  Things we have seen and heard in movies come alive when they are triggered by the merest hint of something similar that we experience in real life.

There are so many different forms of transport here.  The car is king of course, and there are lots of pickups, more and mostly quite a bit bigger than those common in Oz, but there are several types of buses (hybrids, traditional, double-deckers, very loooong articulateds) – and several more personal moving machines.  I have seen hundreds of powered and unpowered scooters and numerous variations of Segways – upright ones, simple wheels with foot rests side to side or fore and aft, all manner of 2-, 3- and 4-wheeled bikes and very cute bright yellow 2-seater, 3-wheeled motorbikes rented to tourists.  And of course, there are the iconic cable cars.  No place for pedestrians like us.

There are many hundred homeless people, mostly but not only, black and they all have their little cache of belongings, but some quite large collections that are transported in a range of trolleys.  Some have their own patches, sometimes quite complex.  I have seen mini tent cities, some small homeless colonies, tiny compounds barricaded with wheelie bins or discarded sheets of iron, plastic and so on.  It is sad to see but it is America, Land of the Free, after all.

We bought a pizza on our way back to the hotel and ate it in our room – and promptly went back to sleep.  Alas another fitful night, broken by a series of midnight messages back and forth to Australia about Heather’s SIM – a little more about that later.

6 July

We purchased tickets for the Hop On Hop Off Big Bus from the hotel and walked the mile or so to Union Square, the closest stop to the hotel. We only went about 3 stops on the bus to Fisherman’s Wharf before they made us all get off and join a long queue to join a different bus - no explanations, but being a holiday weekend and short of drivers who weren’t enjoying their holiday BBQs, we queued for about an hour before we managed to get on our way again.  They seemed hopelessly disorganised but off we went on what was about a 3½ half hour trip around the city, out past the huge Golden Gate Park, across the Golden Gate Bridge then back along the beach and Presidio and eventually back to Fisherman’s Wharf where we alighted in time for a late lunch.

The Big Bus was not quite up to scratch really.  Commentary was light on and a bit trivial, but passable.  Some parts of the route were very slow, almost gridlocked in one stretch approaching the Golden Gate Bridge.  As they said, it was a holiday weekend, every man and his dog (and cat and horse) were out and things were chaotic.  At least we got to see a lot more of SF than we otherwise would have and we got a better perspective of places we might visit at the end of our trip.

The crowds along the wharves were overwhelming, but we checked out the sea-lion colony and the birdlife in one partially enclosed area before heading for lunch.  (We had been thinking of doing a Bay Cruise, but seeing the queues for that, we decided that a couple more hours queueing and getting sunburnt BEFORE boarding wasn’t really desirable.).  We eventually settled on Aliotos Restaurant (partly to avoid the long queues of people waiting to use the public toilets).  Heather had her heart set on clam chowder in a big crusty bun - the signature dish for the wharf area.  We enjoyed them immensely when here 24 years ago, but they seem to have lost the recipe in the meantime (or maybe the clams just weren’t biting) but it was a bit disappointing, mainly vegetarian with very few clams!  I had the Fisherman’s Basket and we helped each other with our respective orders but couldn’t finish either of them anyway.

An interesting thing we heard about the sea-lions on the bus (we were on the bus, not the sea-lions!) was that the whole colony lived out on the beach for as long as anyone could remember – until 1987 when for reasons unknown, they migrated up-Bay to Pier 39 and they (and their squealing pong) have been there for the tourists to ogle ever since.  We saw, heard and smelled them when we were here in ’95 and imagined that they had always been there.

We then caught a grossly overcrowded streetcar back to near our hotel and walked home.  Called in at the local shop for a very small snack and brekky fare, still bloated from our 3pm lunch.

7 July

Heather has spent many hours (mainly in the very early hours of the morning) conversing with people in Australia and New York trying to get the data component of her phone contract working.  She bought some SIMs in Australia to be activated along the way and although the voice component worked, the data wouldn’t and she has spent hours virtually rebuilding her phone in consultation with the phone company, but she finally got it working late morning - thanks to a very helpful guy in New York, and absolutely no thanks to the Cretans in Australia.

We then walked to the Bus Transit Station, a few blocks down the hill, to suss out what we had to do to transit to our train tomorrow.  All pretty easy so we walked down to the Embarcadero and the edge of the Bay.  It was a beautiful summer’s day and there were plenty of strollers out, most with dogs.  We walked a kilometre or so to a market in the huge Ferry Terminal and wandered around that for a while before returning to a bayside restaurant for a late lunch and to watch the world go by.  One wonderful thing happened over lunch when an Anna’s Hummingbird visited a row of WA kangaroo paws right next to our al fresco table.  We managed to get a few photos and had a good look as it hovered around several of the flowers before heading off to places unknown.

That was Bird 13 for me, having seen American robins, American crows, Brewer’s blackbirds, Californian gulls, vultures and hawks, night-herons, cormorants, starlings, sparrows and so on.  The gulls are everywhere, but they are well outnumbered by hordes of the dirtiest scungiest pigeons imaginable.  Some of the many homeless people here look very sad and bedraggled, but the pigeons look a whole lot worse.

We went to an Indian restaurant for dinner and over-ordered as usual.  I thought it was a really good meal and a little cheaper than many places we have looked at.  They boast more than 3000 restaurants in San Fran (I imagine Melbourne has as many!) but competition is so fierce that the average lifespan of each establishment is only a few months.

Boxing Day Canada

What Is Boxing Day, And Why Do Canadians Celebrate It? You may have been Celebrating Boxing Day for decades without actually knowing what it stands for.

Observed annually on December 26 in Canada, the U.K. and Commonwealth countries around the world, Boxing Day Canada was traditionally the day employers would give their staff Christmas presents, called "boxes," to celebrate the season. But since the day after Christmas is now usually a statutory holiday, in our modern society, we now often give those boxes to ourselves.

Or at least that's one way of looking at this longtime tradition, which has been noted for centuries. There's no exact definition of Boxing Day Canada, though some tie it to British servants who helped their lords and ladies with Christmas dinner and literally took home boxes (and got a day off) the next day. Samuel Pepys noted the existence of such boxes in his diary in 1663.

In Canada, as well as the U.K. and Australia, December 26 is now better known as a day for scooping up shopping deals, similar to Black Friday in the U.S. Most stores open their doors early and discount prices on items ranging from clothing to technology to appliances. In recent years, some shops have started their sales even before Christmas has begun, hoping for more spending from customers.

In other countries, December 26 has taken on a different name. In Germany, Poland, Scandinavia and the Netherlands, it's known as Second Christmas Day, simply extending the holiday for an extra day. In Ireland, they celebrate St. Stephen's Day, or the Day of the Wren, participating in parades in masks and suits.

Boxing Day In Canada: December 26, the day after Christmas, is the Feast of St Stephen, the first Christian martyr. It is also known as Boxing Day, a secular holiday celebrated in parts of the Commonwealth, including Canada. December 26, the day after Christmas, is the Feast of St Stephen, the first Christian martyr. It is also known as Boxing Day, a secular holiday celebrated in parts of the Commonwealth, including Canada.

Origin The ecclesiastical celebration stems from the appointment of Stephen by the Apostles as one of seven deacons to attend to the distribution of alms to the poorer members of the Church. A Jew who converted to Christianity, Stephen usually preached among Hellenist Jews and was known as a powerful orator. His selection as a deacon identified him as a man of Christian faith and of good reputation. He became a target of those unwilling to be converted and ultimately was charged with blasphemy and arrested, cast out of the community and stoned to death.

Alms-giving has long been associated with the day after Christmas, going back to at least the early tenth century and the duke of Bohemia, Wenceslas I (c. 903-935)--he of the Christmas carol "Good King Wenceslas." He was the son of Duke Wratislaw, a Christian, and Dragomir, a heathen. On the death of Wratislaw, Dragomir acted as regent to oppose Christianity. Wenceslas, by the will of the people, assumed the regent position, and officially broke from heathen tradition to promote Christianity. (He put his duchy under the protection of Germany and was given the regal title by Emperor Otto I.) Wenceslas became known for his virtue, which was memorialized in the well-known Christmas carol. According to the song, as he surveyed his land "on the feast of Stephen" he saw a poor man gathering firewood ("When a poor man came in sight,/Gath'ring winter fuel") and ordered a servant to gather food and wine and help him deliver them to the poor man. Whether the story is actually true is unknown, but it exemplifies the duke's beliefs and actions. Wenceslas was murdered by his own brother for religious and political reasons and was considered a martyr immediately after his death. He was canonized several centuries later.

The etymology of Boxing Day is not definitively known, but it may come from the traditional opening on that day of Anglican Church poor boxes that had been filled during Advent. Another possibility is that it arose from the custom of the aristocracy giving gifts to servants, employees and trades people the day after Christmas.

Boxing Day Customs Boxing Day throughout the Commonwealth involves a range of traditions. It has been a national holiday in England, Wales, Ireland and Canada since 1871. (It is listed in the Canada Labour Code as a general holiday.) In England, traditional Boxing Day fox hunts, which have been conducted for hundreds of years, were threatened in 2005 by Parliament's ban on using dogs to kill prey. Although the dogs' role has been limited to chasing only, thousands of people continue to participate in the Boxing Day hunt.

In Ireland, December 26 is still known as St Stephen's Day, and is traditionally the day for Hunting the Wren. Birds are prominent in Irish mythology and the Wren, which has a reputation for treachery, is said to have sung loudly to betray Irish soldiers sneaking up on the Norse. The wren is also said to have betrayed St. Stephen. In former times it was hunted by Wrenboys, killed and the corpse carried on a stick at the head of a procession. Today, it is a day for people to dress in costume, wear masks and parade around the town accompanied by musicians.

December 26 is also a day for mumming, which is carried out around the world during the Twelve Days of Christmas. In Canada, mumming, or mummering, is a tradition mainly in Newfoundland, with mumming practices having come from Ireland and the UK as early as 1583. It went out of practice in Canada after the First World War and was resurrected in the early 1970s after scholarly researchers rediscovered it. Mummers typically take part in a parade and go from house to house to perform a play based on a central character such as St George, that includes combat, the resurrection of the slain champion and the collection of money by the performers. Less formal traditions involve visiting homes to seek admission, reversing normal modes of behaviour, attempts by the host to identify the disguised characters and the sharing of refreshments.

Modern Boxing Day has largely moved far away from the traditions of almsgiving and has become a day for shopping for post-Christmas deals, eating leftovers and lounging.

How to Optimize Sales Funnel Using Content

The key to generating more sales is by one; targeting the right audience, two; generating content that specifically helps to drive more people through your sales funnel, and three; giving them a pleasant experience. In short, Targeting, optimizing sales funnel, and providing value. 

Generating sales for any business is a primary goal, yet many businesses still struggle to make the sales they’re looking for to help improve their profit margin and ROI.

This expert guide will give you a rundown of how you can boost your sales funnel and generate profits by using clever content placement.

Let me explain.

Best Content Methods To Boost Your Sales

1. Showcase Good Reviews and Testimonials

Content comes in many forms. Reviews and testimonials are great content sources that, when leveraged right, can really push your visitors through the sales funnel.

In this growing digital age, more and more consumers are relying more on the testimonials and reviews of other previous customers to determine whether they will purchase from your company.

This is why it’s crucial to showcase good reviews and testimonials on your website or product pages that are related to the reviews.

When showcasing this type of content, there are a couple of things that you need to keep in mind:

Where possible, have a review tab on your product page. This allows your visitors to decide whether they’ll buy from you without having to leave your page. A good percentage of the time when a visitor leaves to search for a product review, they may not return back to your website, thus you lose out on a potential sale.

Monitor the reviews and feedback given by your previous buyers to see whether there’s a continuous problem with one area of your business or a certain product. Always respond to negative reviews politely and help to resolve any issues a previous customer may have had. By responding to negative reviews in a polite manner it helps to build trust and your reputation. You’ll find your consumers will feel as if you care about them and their needs which can lead to repeat sales.

Showcase both bad and good reviews, as long as you have more good ones than bad ones. A company that has no bad reviews is rare and may send up a warning sign to your new visitors. As long as you politely deal with your customer’s bad reviews, you won’t have a problem.

Remember:

Testimonials and reviews are an essential element of the sales funnel process. Due to the heavy reliability of people wanting more information on a specific company or product, it’s more important now than ever to incorporate this content into your website.

2. Deliver Professional, High-Quality Product Descriptions

The downfall of many businesses is that they don’t have adequate product descriptions. When a consumer is in the market for a product, they want to know more about it, especially if they’re paying a lot of money for it. If you stop and think about it for a moment, would you purchase a $300 product if there was a one-line product description? The answer is no because you aren’t convinced whether the product is the right one for you and can do what you need it to.

To help increase more sales you need to have adequate, informative, professional, unique and high-quality product descriptions on all of your products. Yes, even if you have 10,000 products, you need 10,000 good quality product descriptions. In delivering your visitors with informative product descriptions you gain their trust and their interest. This goes a long way to help push your visitors down through the sales funnel further.So how do you write product descriptions that will gain sales momentum?

Here are some tips:

Make sure the product descriptions don’t contain any spelling or grammar mistakes. This is very important as mistakes will damage your reputation and make you appear unprofessional.

Add specifications or special features in bullet point format or with their own images as seen in the image below. You’ll find that consumers will skim the specifications first before reading the actual product description. If the bullet points contain something they’re after, they will then look to the rest of the content to help them decide on the product.

Keep it short and simple. Don’t use too many large words. It needs to be written so your audience can understand it. Keep the description around the 200 words mark or less. You can write larger descriptions but many consumers won’t end up reading large blocks of text. You need to catch their attention fast and push them to make a decision fast.

Write unique content. If you duplicate the manufacturer’s description, it not only hurts your website ranking, but your consumers don’t want to be bogged down with the same information over and over as well. They would want to see the product they're interested in, in a new light, and creating a unique product description is the best way to achieve this.

Write with an objective in mind. Showcase in the product description what the benefits are and what they can gain from using the products. Writing something like: “This stroller shade parasol helps to keep the sun off your baby while reducing skin damage from sunburn” is better than “This stroller contains a shade parasol.”

Creating new product descriptions and giving your customers more information can help to really improve your odds of your visitors making a purchase as this helps you to gain their trust faster.

3. Give Them Helpful Information

Information is valuable when it’s written well. When you want to improve sales, make sure you have content that can help them understand your products better or that is informative to your industry. This can be done by incorporating different blogs and articles into your website. Consumers like it when a company can help to solve their questions and problems. You can do this by providing them with content that ranges from:

Buyers Guides

Product Guides

How Tos

Tips and Tricks

Infographics

+ much more!

When writing content, however, there’s a trick to it. You need to:

Make sure the content is unique and isn’t duplicated from other websites as this will hurt your reputation and your website ranking. Use Copyscape.com to help check for plagiarism.

Make sure the blogs and articles are relevant to the products, industry, or the different services that you’re providing. There’s no point talking about horses if you’re into breeding rabbits.

Ensure all content created is checked for spelling and grammar mistakes. Mistakes make you appear unprofessional in your consumers’ eyes.

Use engaging titles with power words. Example: “Powerful New Fast Acting Anti-Aging Serum Is Now Available!” is more appealing than “Anti-aging Serum Now Available”.

Balance out bulky text by using paragraphs, subheadings, and bullet points. The bulky text is hard to read and is a deterrent for many readers.

Make sure the content is informative, answers their questions, and gives them something they can take action on straight away. A generic article won’t help to drive more people through your sales funnel.

Overall the content should be of the highest quality. It should be useful and your readers should gain something from it.

4. Trigger Emotional Responses

Last, but not least, it’s a good idea to aim for an emotional response from your readership. Many companies use emotional marketing with their content to help push more sales. The two most beneficial emotions to trigger are: Happiness You can generate happiness in a number of ways, but the best way is by sharing content that has a feel good and happy message in it. If you’re selling something you can trigger happiness by:

Giving them a price cut or deal.

Installing a product for free.

Offer free shipping.

Give them a gift voucher after a purchase is complete.

People love to be given things for free or to save money where they can. This is a great way to generate happiness and to generate loyal customers.

Passionate Anger

Passionate anger is often used by charity organizations to help get people behind a cause. When using passionate anger, you need to make sure you don’t overstep your boundaries. When selling your products, service, or company image, it’s important that you let people know you’re a proud supporter of a charity or cause that is worth fighting for. Passionate anger comes when you’re passionate about something. By showing your support, customers who are also in support of your cause will begin to trust you more and become loyal to you. This loyalty, in turn, can help to generate more sales. When triggering passionate anger, though, make sure you have a positive spin. Example:

Not A Positive Spin: Too Forceful

Many Dogs Are Passing Away In Kennels Each Year. Do Something Now

A Positive Spin:

200 Dogs Pass Away Each Day In Kennels Across The Country. Your $1 A Day Can Help Save 2 Dogs From Death This Month. Leveraging emotions from your content and powerful images like in the below screenshot can help greatly to generate more sales and conversions depending on your audience and your business.

Conclusion

Generating more sales with your content is all about how you use it to your advantage. By considering this content above, you can easily start to generate the sales you’re after. Are you going to implement any of these things?
