Labradors and Friends Dog Rescue
- 14 years 1 month
Animal Welfare
Labradors & Friends Rescue is a licensed, private, small, all volunteer, non-profit
rescue in Orange County, CA. We've been rescuing dogs for 10 years, and
have owned Yorkies since 1976. Our all volunteer group is passionately dedicated to rescuing
these terrific terriers and their friends. We foster dogs from shelters, and take
in other dogs in need. Some are strays whose owners cannot be located, some
are abandoned, and some are surrendered to us by their owners.

Lily Sanctuary - Parrot Rescue
- 8 years 1 month
Animal Welfare
Since 1993, when importation of exotic birds was banned in the U.S., domestic breeding has flourished. Animals that once were rare and costly became more obtainable, and far too many parrots were purchased as “impulse buys.” Parrots are not only beautiful and fun, they are highly sensitive and intelligent creatures.

Have the conventional tools become less effective for you? You tried direct mail, networking, print advertising, and cold calling. Nothing seems to work anymore. Welcome to the "new normal."
New and different marketing techniques are needed for you to remain competitive and to stay in business. This new landscape is very complex:
• Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter have replaced the water cooler as the customer hangout.
• E-mail marketing letters are often considered SPAM and don't even get opened.
• Bricks and mortar stores are now being trumped by websites that offer e-commerce, online chat, blogs, and deep discounts.
• Personal selling has never been harder since customers seem to hide behind voice mail and e-mail.
• Getting your website found in a Google search is increasingly difficult as the battle for keywords rages.

Music Venue Analysis: Using Real Feedback to Develop the Ideal Venue
-
ABSTRACT
Music, movies, and pictures are more inexpensive and easily accessible than ever before as a result of the digital revolution, digitized media sources, and the trend of file sharing. This has led to an increase in the importance of live performances from bands, both famous and unknown; while the price for gaining access to music decreases, the necessity to make income off of performing live increases. As live performances become more essential to surviving in the music industry,…ABSTRACT
Music, movies, and pictures are more inexpensive and easily accessible than ever before as a result of the digital revolution, digitized media sources, and the trend of file sharing. This has led to an increase in the importance of live performances from bands, both famous and unknown; while the price for gaining access to music decreases, the necessity to make income off of performing live increases. As live performances become more essential to surviving in the music industry, it would seem equally imperative that the venues providing locations for those live performances understand how to best attract and please performers and audience members alike. In order to recognize the wants and needs of these three groups, Michael Dittman has conducted first hand research through band and audience member surveys and interviews with the management and promoters of music venues. His research is limited to music venues and local bands located within Orange County, CA. From the information gathered from these surveys and interviews, Michael describes the “ideal” music venue for that area and discusses the difficulties he encountered throughout the course of his research.Other creators
