Add You - Snowbirds, Bi-Coastal and Life in 2 Locations
The answer is yes. According to Bill Watterson, author of Calvin and Hobbes, “The problem with the future is that it keeps turning into the present.” Businesses are well aware of mobile phones’ potential for wireless marketing, advertising, sales, and payments although many thought this potential would be realized somewhere down the road. But it seems like that future is now here.Critical MassAlmost a third of North Americans now say they could not l
• All report of being tired of air travel, airports and carrying luggage back and forth.
• Emotional consideration: social life becomes an important issue. Missing the friends/family in one location does not seem to be healed or made-up by having new friends. “You don’t replace people you love. You just keep missing them…”
• Missing personal, special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries of family and friends.
• Most ‘Double-lifers’ reported missing hobbies, collections, books, art and things they have in one of the locations.

It is almost like a dream come true. After working very hard at your business, you get a huge purchase order from one of your best customers. You can almost feel the sweet taste of success. Soon, however, reality sets in. If you are like most small to mid size businesses, you realize that you don’t have enough money to buy supplies because your suppliers are demanding advance payment. You now risk losing the order unless you find a way to finance it.If your company has
The Retired Couple.
My friends, the snowbirds, who are retired, fly to Florida for the winter and appear to love the life in 2 locations; over the years they had created two entirely separated lifestyles two households, 2 golf-club memberships, warm climate wardrobes and new friends for the winter months.
Their friends and family visit with them often for holidays and long weekends. During the summer they come back to the Midwest, sun-tanned already from Florida sun. Their comments: “Living in two places while you retired have the benefits of both worlds. We don’t remember life in the snow and ice, nor do we want to.”
The Working Couple.
Tina and Josh were gracious enough to give me some inside look into their ‘double life’: Tina is a writer: I can work from everywhere, providing I have my lap-top and electricity…why would I stay in the heat of Arizona during the summer? Josh did not mind the heat, he is an expert in internet marketing, and he too can live anywhere and work from home. Now they live in Minneapolis on the lake during the summer. “My wife is so happy here, in the summer. This makes me a happy man.”
The Single Executive.
My neighbor Sheila, single in late 30’s, was promoted to an executive position in a national corporation. Now she is traveling between N.Y. and LA. She is spending two weeks in each location and she loves it. After every trip she gets ‘a travel day’, that is a day off from work to rejuvenate before resuming her job at the next location respectively.
Sheila says: “my friends in LA have very little time to socialize. By moving away half the time to NY, I am ‘forced’ to have quality time with my LA friends and find new interesting contacts in NY. I am dating in both locations and curious to see what will happen next...”
Family with school-age kids.
Now that is a challenge. The couple of families I’ve interviewed have young pre school children. They act like the retired couple; snowbirds style; one family spends summers in NY and winters in Palm Spring, CA. They registered their kids to 2 preschools, have 2 sets of baby sitters, 2 households and 2 Pediatricians, of course. They plan to continue the Bi-Coastal lifestyle till the oldest child will go to first grade.
What double-locations home-owners have in common?
• Feeling of adventure and anticipation before ‘coming home’ to the ‘other’ location.
• After being away for a while, there are some feelings of alienation, estrangement and separation from each home.

Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated to all of Israel, and the world last night that the moment of truth had arrived. Announcing his resignation as Finance Minister in the Sharon cabinet, he stated that he had been forced to remain in the government, and also remain mostly silent regarding his opposition to the disengagement over these last several months in order to complete his economic reforms, he claimed that he anguished over the continued march towards the dise

Guides for RetailersThe regulations about marketing pearls are listed in the FTC’s Guides for the Jewelry, Precious Metals, and Pewter Industries. The guide is very specific about what retailers should call a pearl. Gems that are created when a mollusk is nucleated must be called “cultured pearls.” “Imitation pearls” are any product that is designed to look like a pearl. “Seed pearls” are a small pearl that measures less than 2 mm.The FTC goes into specifics t

When trade show exhibit goers walk the vast exhibit hall floors and come upon highly creative, interactive trade show displays, they get to stop and join in some fun. The trade show attendee becomes part of the exhibit. By using experiential activity, the trade show exhibitor not only entertains but also educates their key customer prospects with entertaining hands-on experiences.Why are such participatory activities important at trade shows? Quite simply: they boost
