TIPS FOR CHOOSING YOUR FIRST LUXURY WATCH

Whether you’re celebrating a major achievement or simply ready to invest in a luxury watch, choosing your first fine timepiece is a celebratory occasion. If you’ve never purchased or been gifted a luxury watch, you might be wondering where to begin. From brands and budget to function and form, there is a lot to navigate in the world of luxury timepieces. That’s where we come in! Read on to learn our top tips for purchasing your first high-end watch. This is the best replica rolex.

What is a Luxury Watch?

First, what defines a luxury watch? While there is no official definition, luxury timepieces are often manufactured with extraordinary manual craftmanship using precious materials (gold, silver, platinum and jewels). A watch’s movement is another element to consider. Mechanical movements that are self-winding or manual winding, versus mass-produced quartz, require more precise labor.

Quality, craftsmanship, and movement are just a few factors that determine the premium pricing and luxury status of a watch.

How Much Should I Spend on a Luxury Watch?

Now, let’s get on to the shopping! One of the toughest questions when embarking on your luxury timepiece journey is: how much should I spend?

With so many great options available, your answer can vary significantly. Based on personal taste and budget, what an individual considers luxury can range from under $1,000 to upwards of seven figures. If you are interested in popular brands like Rolex, Omega, or Cartier, you can find “entry-level” options in the $5,000-$10,000 range. For investment pieces that maintain or increase in value over time, you may consider even higher price ranges.

Tips for Buying Your First Luxury Watch

Once you’ve established your budget, determine what other elements are important to you. Are you looking for something functional that displays international time or has water resistance? Perhaps you are looking purely at style or brand. You may also be considering a pre-owned piece!

To help narrow down your choices, here are some tips from our experts:

  • Find out what your ideal watch diameter is before shopping
  • Find a highly rated local AD (authorized dealer)
  • If you have your heart set on a luxury watch model that is unavailable, or out of budget, you may consider a pre-owned model. Provident Jewelry has a large and ever-changing inventory of authentic pre-owned watches.

En 2011, ils avaient prévu un spectacle pour les 2 à 10 ans avec « Les aventures de Lulu Patacru ». Un spectacle musical qui a été très apprécié par les jeunes spectateurs (vu l’ambiance à la sortie de la salle).

What is affiliate marketing and how does it work?

Given the plethora of choices for digital marketing these days, it can be hard for marketers to keep track and take advantage of everything. One of those choices you may be overlooking in the e-commerce space is affiliate marketing.

So, let’s break down exactly what affiliate marketing is and how this technique can help you drive online sales.

At its core, affiliate marketing involves promoting products or services on behalf of a company in exchange for a commission on any resulting sales. Take a look to these affiliate marketing tips.

There are many types of affiliate programs that your brand could participate in, from product review sites to email newsletters and influencers on social media.

This guide provides an in-depth overview of affiliate marketing, affiliate income, how it works, and how brands can get started with affiliate programs today to boost revenue. We’ll cover everything from the benefits of affiliate marketing to tips for optimizing your affiliate strategy.

What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is an e-commerce sales strategy where a third party promotes your products in exchange for commission.

You see this sales strategy employed a lot on Amazon, social media, and blogs (though not this one). For instance, a travel blogger may be covering their top trips for winter travel in Australia. As a part of the article, they may mention that they redeemed miles from a specific credit card and provide a link to said credit card company.

This affiliate link will take readers to a unique landing page where they are encouraged to create a new account. Should the person fully enroll in the credit card offer, the article’s writer receives a form of compensation — normally a pre-set percentage of the profit.

You also see this a lot on social media and other influencer spaces. When you hear someone say, « click the link in the bio, » you can assume it’s an affiliate marketing link.

Why would a brand use affiliate marketing? 

Adding affiliate marketing to your sales strategy can offer your brand access to new types of customers. These affiliates can also hold more sway with your prospective audience and drive sales more quickly than traditional advertising.

For instance, a new electronics company may try to distribute its advertising all over social media. This advertising will eventually have an effect, but the brand will need to overcome low awareness and low trust on the part of consumers. However, suppose the brand employs a social media influencer to feature their product in one of their posts. In that case, the trust and respect that person holds with their audience can be imparted to your product — thereby driving sales faster.

Affiliate marketing strategies can be particularly effective for brands with lower awareness or may not be able to penetrate a particular market.

Affiliate marketing and Black Friday

Employing an affiliate marketing strategy can be especially useful during peak sales seasons like Black Friday. At this time of year, every brand is trying to break through with deep discounts and sizable media investments. A trusted third party can help your brand reach customers by extolling the value your good or service delivers.

You’ll need to push the boundaries, though. Many brands in your category may likely be using affiliate marketing, too. Just look at all of the holiday shopping guides that emerge every year. These guides often contain links that direct readers to buy those products online using UTM tags – a sign of affiliate marketing.

However, depending on your category or audience, there may be less traditional ways to utilize affiliate marketing to realize a boost in sales. Influencers can be a great way to break through.

As an added bonus, as your marketing tactics help you reach customers more effectively than competitors, you can rely a little bit less on deep Black Friday discounts to get people in the door. That means higher profit margins at a time when every dollar counts.

Parking Tips for begginers

TIPS FOR TEACHING YOUR TEEN TO PARK CONFIDENTLY

For new drivers and even experienced drivers parking in different situations can become stressful and difficult. I know that for many, parallel parking is often avoided as it can be a bit more challenging to master. This week I felt it would be beneficial to share some tips and tricks as well as some great resources with you to help you teach your teen to confidently park in any situation!

Angled Parking

 Angled parking is where the parking spot is at about a 45-degree angle to the lane. This type of parking is common in cities across North America.  Use the following steps in assisting your teen:

  1. Have your teen locate a vacant parking spot and advise them to use the signal to notify surrounding traffic of their intentions.
  2. Have your teen drive parallel with the curb, and once he/she can see the left side of the vehicle that is parked to the right of the stall, advise them to turn the wheel to the right and proceed.
  3. Once your teen is about halfway through the parking stall, have them begin to straighten your wheels and drive forward ensuring that the front left and right side of your vehicle are not too close to the vehicles parked on either side.

Parallel Parking

Parallel parking can be daunting, especially for new drivers but proper instruction and practice can help your teen become confident in their new skill. Use the following steps to aid you in instructing your teen with parallel parking:

  1. Practice with your teen using “props” such as cones with a PVC pipe or other objects that won’t raise your insurance if your teen accidentally hits them.
  2. Once you are confident, they have the idea, have your teen look for a spot that is big enough for the vehicle to fit, and ensure they are checking for traffic and pedestrians.
  3. Instruct your teen to pull up beside the vehicle in front of the spot they are going to be parking in and align the rear tires with the rear bumper of the other vehicle. Have them check for traffic and use the signal to indicate where they are parking.
  4. Before your teen begins to reverse, have them crank the steering wheel all the way to the right.
  5. Instruct them to reverse slowly keeping the wheel cranked.
  6. When the front right wheel is aligned with the rear left corner of the vehicle in front, instruct your teen to crank the steering wheel left and continue to slowly reverse further into the parking space.
  7. Have them make any necessary adjustments to ensure there is enough room in front of and behind.

 

Here’s a great video resource from our Coaching New Drivers program on parallel parking, instructed by Mike Pehl, our veteran crash investigator and driving educator! The video gives you a step-by-step process to progressively teach your teen to parallel park. Also make sure to check out Dallas Texas the most complete driving schools list.

Some helpful tips include adjusting the mirrors, practicing in larger spots before progressing into tighter spots, and being calm and patient while your teen is learning. Just like any skill, practice will make them better!

Reverse Parking

Your teen may ask, “Why do I need to reverse into a parking space when I can just drive straight in?” Reversing into a parking space can reduce the risk of getting into an accident. The reason behind this is when leaving the parking spot, your teen will have more visibility. Did you know that 20% of accidents happen in parking lots? (IIHS, 2018). Use the following steps to aid you in practicing the skill with your teen:

  1. Once your teen has located an empty parking stall, instruct your teen to drive in front of the stall so that the back bumper is partially in front of it.
  2. Ensure your teen uses the signal to advise other drivers of their intention to enter the parking stall.
  3. Instruct them to check their surroundings.
  4. Have your teen begin to reverse slowly and turn the steering wheel to straighten the vehicle out.
  5. Have your teen continue to reverse and straighten out until the vehicle is fully in the parking stall.

Before having your teen reverse into a parking spot between two vehicles, practice in an empty parking lots until they get the hang of it.
