How to Make the Most of a Small Outdoor Space

By: Chip Wade and Belgard:

Function
Decide what is most important to you. Do you want a place to sit, relax and enjoy company? Is outdoor cooking important to you? Would you be willing to sacrifice seating to accommodate a larger cooking space? If you can’t have it all, prioritize.

Flow
The importance of having a good flow to your outdoor space is exponentially greater when it comes to small spaces. You’re already in an area with low square footage, so avoid crowding it with furniture, plants, or other accessories arranged in ways that inhibit you from navigating your patio. Practice walking through your outdoor space – what is your most logical pathway? Do you feel like there’s a roadblock maneuvering around your accessories? What about when other people are around?

Furniture
Picking out furniture for your outdoor room is no different than measuring a couch to make sure it will fit through the doorway and work in your living room. When you’re choosing furniture for your small outdoor space, keep in mind that the size of your furniture should pair well with the size of your space – you don’t want overwhelming furniture that overtakes your entire outdoor room. Don’t be afraid to shop around awhile to find something you love. Be sure to ask about the store’s return policy so you don’t take something home just to find out it won’t work in your space. Always carry a tape measure with you when furniture shopping so dimensions are top of mind.

Another happy customer: Everything is what I expected!

March 1, 2012: California Homepro removed my existing concrete patio system and installed a Belgard paver system. Everything is what I expected! They have great workmanship and a great company. Richard Wallace, Napa, CA

March 1, 2012: I recently had a new paver driveway and walkway installed by California Homepro and I am very happy with the result. The workers were courteous and professional and I was impressed by the precision with which they cut those pavers to fit the design. The entire project was completed in less than 3 days and the area was left neat and tidy. Several neighbors have stopped by to admire my new addition. The pavers improve the look of my whole house. All in all; it was a very positive experience and I would definitely recommend California Homepro to my friends. I am a happy customer! Elizabeth Ng

Title: Company Positioned As A Leader In The Burgeoning Local Search Market

ue to its unparalleled effectiveness, online advertising has gained popularity among marketers, causing a shift in ad spending from offline ad media towards the Internet.

Forrester Research, a technology research company, surveyed 126 B2B marketing executives from various industries and concluded:

“Business-to-business (B2B) marketers struggle most to reach decision-makers and measure effectiveness. As a result, they are shifting advertising dollars toward more direct and interactive tactics – supplementing sales forces with higher spending on e-mail, direct mail, and online advertising.”

The trend of spending more on the Internet compared to offline media is expected to continue as more and more businesses discover the benefits of advertising online.

The Kelsey Group reports that one of the fastest growing local online advertising companies in North America, Local Corporation, is well-positioned as a leader in the burgeoning local search market, which is expected to outpace top-line search growth through 2013.

They go on to say that “Research shows that consumers typically spend about 80 percent of their income within 20 miles of their homes.” These consumers are the crown jewel of search because they typically convert into buyers at a higher rate than any other type of online search traffic. As a result, advertisers often pay a premium to place their ads in front of these highly valuable consumers in order to reach them.

California Homepro, Inc. has enhanced its branding of Windows, Pavers and Coating within the competitive home improvement industry covering the Greater San Francisco Bay Area Market by joining Local.com. Coupled with California Homepro’s aggressive marketing strategy via home shows, canvassing and telemarketing, their online marketing has been an area of intense focus over the past few months. The key now for the company will be to measure results accurately and react accordingly. Internet marketing changes every day and it certainly isn’t dull. There’s a whole new world of opportunity for those that have a passion for their company and their function.
