Benefits Of Advertising Through Print Media
Sam Young 925-301-7448
About 160,000 magazines are published in the world. There is a great deal of respect and demand for this traditional form of media advertising. For the advertiser, there are many great advantages of print media advertising. The main fact is that they can target a specific audience. This is in spite of the fact that magazines have lesser coverage as compared to national newspapers. In print media, the advantage of catering to specific target audience opens up countless opportunities to enhance sales figures. A fashion magazine would highlight cosmetic products and fashion accessories. At the same time, a sports magazine would display sports related ads to cater to its readers. There is no wastage of resources as ads get to reach the target audience. Over a period of years, magazines create a vast pool of loyal readers who feel safe in its very credible environment. The interactive element may be less when you compare it with the aggressive online advertising. But the key factor is credibility that print media continues to reign over. It explains why magazines are known as potential promotional vehicles. It adds improved quality branding that adds great value to your range of products. Compared to websites or national newspapers, magazines enjoy the longest life span. There are some magazines that are treasured across decades like valuable references. The National Geographic is such an example as its content is never redundant.
4
Unlike newspaper advertising, magazine advertising gives great scope to ads. These are usually trend setting and eye catching. The best thing is that every body loves to look again and again at the full color ads. So maximum visibility is again reiterated through magazine advertising. It is stated often that consistent advertising ensures a cumulative effect. The more familiar buyers are with a brand, the more likely they would buy it. That is why print media advertising will never be out of fashion. Sonya North, CEO Reference: Content Management Software

BUSINESS
Law Offices of Joan Grimes Everyone recognizes the importance of having a plan in place to protect loved ones during times of illness or casualty, however, over 50% of Americans don’t even have a Last Will and Testament, leaving their estate vulnerable to costly court fees and legal proceedings. Estate planning safeguards your family and assets when something injurious happens to you. The necessity of having an estate plan is not limited to seniors or the wealthy; if you own a home, have children or elderly parents, or possess a savings account, the Law Offices of Joan Grimes can guide you in creating a customized plan that will deliver peace of mind and financial security to you and yours. Estate planning goes beyond will preparation. An estate plan stipulates instructions to beneficiaries on how to proceed should a detrimental event occur, eliminating conjecture and reducing stress during times of hardship. In addition to will preparation and comprehensive estate planning, the Law Offices of Joan Grimes provides expert consult in the matters of estate tax planning, revocable and irrevocable trusts, probate services, trust and estate administration, charitable and asset protection planning, Power of Attorney, Advance Health Care Directive, business succession and wealth transfer planning, and estate planning for blended families.
Although estate planning is based on incapacitation or fatality, creating one doesn’t have to be a morose process. Formulating a well-crafted plan gives you the chance to evaluate your life’s accomplishments and the value of your holdings. It initiates the opportunity to carefully assess who means the most to you and how you can help protect them in the future. Joan Grimes began her business concentrating on bankruptcy cases, and she felt very privileged to serve the many East Bay families that were overcome by the economic recession. Although her focus today is estate planning, bankruptcy services are still available to provide relief for those experiencing financial setbacks. If your mortgage is in arrears and creditors are aggressively pursuing you, she and her dedicated team can help you to devise a financial plan that will stop the madness and assist you in rebuilding your life. No two families are alike and each has its own unique requirements when it comes to estate planning and finances. To produce an individualized plan, the Law Offices of Joan Grimes takes the time to genuinely get acquainted with each client to gain a better understanding into each distinctive situation. Comprehensive support and education is provided from start to finish, assuring that every client fully understands the plan and is confident about its future execution. Ms. Grimes has over 30 years of legal experience. Previously, she was employed at a large law firm in the city but came to
realize that her desire was to serve clients on a more personal level in a warm and welcoming environment.

Estate planning may not be as much fun as planning a party or a vacation getaway, but without a plan there could be a long–term negative impact on those you love. In the absence of an estate plan, the courts may intervene and decide who receives your assets, prolonging the process at a substantial cost. You’ve worked hard for what you have; let the Law Offices of Joan Grimes help you to safeguard your family when you can’t. A secure plan lets you decide where your money will go, stops beneficiaries from excessive taxation, and provides clear instruction to circumvent family squabbles. Stop procrastinating and call today. A free 30-minute consultation is offered for new clients at both the Brentwood and Walnut Creek offices.

Calling All New Parents: Do You Have An Estate Plan? And…hello grandparents! I can guarantee that if your adult child saw this article, their eyes glazed over and they moved on. But that is ok. Young parents tend to believe that estate planning is for old people. So grandparents, next time you talk to your adult child, gently ask if they have started thinking about an estate plan. And, “hello” to all young parents that took a big gulp of coffee for that caffeine surge before diving into this article. Life Insurance Many young parents tend to think that they don’t need life insurance because they are young, healthy and are not going to die anytime soon. Yes, we hope that is true. But if the worst happens, will your children be ok? Can they live without your salary? Will your family be able to pay the rent or mortgage payments? Will there be enough money to hire a babysitter to
CHRIS J. HELD
Leaving a Loving Legacy: Getting Started Today, two-thirds of women identify themselves as the primary decision-maker in their home. Many of these women are also the breadwinner, earning 62% of the household income. If you find yourself among this growing group of women, you play a vital role in managing your family’s finances – from overseeing the household budget, to paying the mortgage, to determining where to invest your retirement assets. But imagine for a moment, what would happen if you couldn’t continue to play this role due to death or sudden incapacitation. A sobering thought indeed. Most of us prefer not to think about the inevitable passing of those we love, let alone ourselves. This may be why only 33% of women between the ages of 45 and 54 have drafted a will.2 Yet failure to focus on basic estate planning activities can often create family conflict, cause the dissipation of assets you’ve spent a lifetime building, or result in the payment of taxes that might have been avoided.

help out? Also, good news: if you buy a policy when you are young, it is significantly cheaper! We recommend a term life insurance policy. If you should die when your children are young, the proceeds of this life insurance policy will be transferred into a “trust” that will be managed by a “trustee” and can be used to care for your children and family. Choosing a Guardian Many young parents also don’t realize that an estate plan is used to appoint a guardian for your children if you pass away while your children are minors. This decision is possibly the most important estate planning decision you will make. If you already know exactly who want the guardian to be…great! Time to write it down and make it official and avoid a lengthy court process following your death. But for the rest of you, here are some things that you may want to think about: a) Where does this potential guardian live? Will your children have to change schools, neighborhoods or states to go live with their guardian?
c) Is this potential guardian interested in raising your children as his or her own if something happens to you? Children’s Access to the Estate If something happens to you and your significant other when your children are young, at what age do you want them to have access to your estate (ie savings accounts, retirement accounts, life insurance proceeds)? Some parents appoint a trustee to manage the estate until the children are well into adulthood. Other people distribute assets once the children have completed college or have a trade. There is no right answer, but this estate plan will help your family carry out your wishes when you are gone. Creating an estate plan can be daunting. It is tough to think about death. There are lots of questions that must be answered to create a comprehensive estate plan. If these questions are left unanswered at your death, someone else will make the decisions and in many instances it will be the court system. This is completely unnecessary and not in the best interest of either you or your family.
b) Does this potential guardian have the same religious, moral and general parenting beliefs as you?

One of the most important things you can do in leaving a loving legacy for your family is to help them understand what is important about you . . . and important to you.
In addition to organizing all of these details about your life, the Family Records Organizer answers important questions:
Getting Started A good first step is to gather critical information about your family finances and take an inventory of your legal documents. It’s important to know what you own, what you owe, and how you have protected yourself and your family against certain risks.
