If you are even a casual Facebook user, and really who isn't, then you've probably come across a contest encouraging you to interact with a brand or a store for a prize. However, not all contests are created equal. Some fail to live up to expectations of the potential customer, which tarnishes your brand and some do not achieve the goals that the business set to achieve by implementing the contest. So, if you are a business owner and you are looking to implement a contest we have found a great piece on socialmediatoday.com on:

First Anniversary of the Richmond Hill South Ozone Park Lions Club
Last Sunday, November 10, 2013,
saw the members of the Richmond Hill-South Ozone Park Lions Club present a
sparkling First Anniversary Celebratory function at the elegant Villa Russo
Catering Hall on 101-12 Lefferts Blvd. in Richmond Hill.
Billed as the Club’s First Year of
Service Celebration, the event attracted over 150 enthusiastic members and
supporters, including several senior Lions from other Districts and prominent
residents of Richmond Hill/South Ozone Park.
The Richmond Hill-South Ozone Park
Lions Club (RHSOP) was chartered as the 78th Club of Lions District
20K-1 just about a year ago with its executive committee headed by Lion Romeo
Hitlall as the first President. The Club then set about on a busy schedule of
service to the community. The list of
activities included visits to senior homes to bring cheer to the residents,
cleanup of Smokey Park, actively participating in relief efforts for victims of
Hurricane Sandy, book collection for the needy etc. However, the Club’s record
breaking achievement was the establishment and charter of its Leo Club during
its first year in existence. Most Clubs launch a Leo Club, if they do, several
years after being chartered.
The function got underway with a
brief but impressive opening ceremony lead by the NYC Ceremonial Unit’s
presentation of the colors, followed by the Nation Anthem. Greetings and
congratulatory remarks were presented by the District Governor of Lions
District 20K-1, Lion Barbara Moody, Lion Gloria Askew, Past Council Chair and
Past District Governor of District 20K-1, Immediate Past District Governor Lion
Clarence R. A. Higgins, NYS Assembly Member Phillip Goldfeder, Commanding
Officer of the 106th Precinct Deputy Inspector Schiff. Zone Chair
Lion Audrey Doorn, who was very instrumental in the establishment of the Leo
Club, spoke glowingly of the new Leos and expressed her admiration for the
RHSOP Lions who dared to launch a Leo Club so early in their
own existence.
The well turned out Leos, smartly
attired and beaming with pride at the achievements of their parent Club, took
center stage to register their support and made a presentation to Leo Advisor
and 2nd Vice President, Lion Carolina Soto, for all her hard work in
guiding them along to this stage.
The Club also recognized and
thanked Mr. George Russo for his help and support over the past year and
presented him with the prestigious Lion recognition award, the Robert J.
Uplinger Distinguished Service Award.
After the ceremonies, the guests
were treated to the rhythmic Indo-Caribbean sounds of Tassa Drumming by the
Amman Tassa Group, whose members received a well-deserved citation from State
Senator Joseph Addabo for their community service. Entertainment and music for
dancing was presented by the Soundextreme DJ system. It was an excellent
program presented by the Lions and Leos of the Richmond Hill-South Ozone Park
Lions Club!

2nd Annual Sunnyside Santathon Pub Crawl for Charity on Saturday, December 7th - Presented by Sunnyside's Boulevard Bars
The 2nd Annual Sunnyside Santathon presented by Sunnyside's Boulevard Bars will
take place on Saturday, December 7th, starting @ 3 PM. It's a festive pub crawl
for charity that celebrates the community of Sunnyside, local businesses,
residents, visitors, and the jovial spirit of the holiday season.
Santa attire is required and all proceeds from the
sale of wristbands will go to buy toys for local kids most in need this holiday
season. All participating bars (Bar 43, The Courtyard Ale House, Maggie
Mae's, The Gaslight, Arriba Arriba, Sidetracks, Molly Bloom's, PJ Horgan's,
McGuinness's, and Bliss St. Station) will also be collecting new, unwrapped toy
donations from now until Christmas.
Anyone looking to
participate can pick up $10 wristbands, at any of the bars, that will entitle
them to $3 drink specials on the day of the event. They can also submit their
email addresses to be entered to win gift vouchers to any one of the Boulevard
Bars.
Last year's
Santathon raised almost $5,000 and collected hundreds of toys in the first
holiday-themed pub crawl of its kind in Sunnyside. Additional toys were bought
with the money donated and delivered to St. Teresa's in Woodside, St. Raphael's
in Sunnyside, the 108th Precinct, the MercyFirst Angel Guardian Orphanage in
Brooklyn, the post-Hurricane Sandy 94th Street toy drive in the Rockaways, the
Metro homeless shelter on Queens Boulevard, and the Hour Children Center in Long
Island City.
Since its inception
a year ago, Sunnyside's Boulevard Bars has held multiple events in the
neighborhood. Most recently, their Halfway to St. Patrick's Day Music Festival,
featuring live Irish music and food and drink specials in all the bars, raised
$5,530 for the Sunnyside/Woodside Boys & Girls Club. They also raised $3,000
for the Leary Firefighters Foundations and local 51st Street Fire Station
(Engine 325/Ladder 163) back in March. Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer was
present for the check delivery.
Pat Burke, owner of
The Courtyard Ale House, says: "We formed Sunnyside's Boulevard Bars to create
events as a group that would bring more business to the area, really make it a
destination spot, and highlight what a great neighborhood we have here. Once we
got together, we also saw the opportunity to raise funds for charities,
specifically local organizations. Our group is still relatively new, but we are
excited about what we have done and will continue to do to promote Sunnyside and
give back to the community.
For more
information about Sunnyside's Boulevard Bars, as well as pictures from past
events, please visit their Facebook page:

Sunnyside's Boulevard Bars

Gaslight. Dedicated to our neighborhood and customers, our mission is to elevate
our community by utilizing our joint efforts to organize monthly events that
bring people together, give back to organizations in the community, and keep
locals and visitors alike up-to-date about what's happening in Sunnyside.

Local Review Sites- Where should you be seen
In their article about local review sites from local visibility system's website the conclusion is : everywhere. Their point is this; each site has their own attributes and features that have positive and negative attributes.
Take Yelp for instance, although they are arguably the biggest review site they have some serious strikes against them:
1. They do not allow a Facebook log in, which means you need a separate log in just to post a review and some of your customers might now go through with it just because of the hassle.
2.They have a policy that does not allow businesses to ask for reviews, if you can't ask people for a review, you may get less reviews or even worse get a disproportionate amount of poor reviews since people are more apt to praise than to compliment
3.Yelp puts more emphasis on reviews by their "Elite Squad" a group of people who have had a lot of Yelp reviews, but are they really an expert on your business?
All this is not to say you don't want your business reviewed on Yelp, its just not the only game in town, and if you are steering reviews to one site it may not be helping your SEO results as much as you think.

42% of Consumers to Use Newspaper/News Website as Shopping Guide
For years we have been telling our customers that consumers "Research Online and Buy Offline" and although consumer spending online has increased, their research has increased. An important part of this research is done in the pages of newspapers and on the websites of these same companies. Part of the reason why is that newspapers, and their websites, are trusted news sources and command large audiences, audiences deemed valuable by advertisers who then use display ads to drive business to both brick and mortar and cyber locations.
