The CEO

Sonya North CUSTOMER SUPPORT

The New Year is a good time to reflect how beneficial print advertising can be.

For our readers, more advertising means more great services to choose from. For our advertisers, print advertising can give you more ‘bang’ for your advertising buck! Let’s use a car dealership’s TV commercial as an example. In 30 seconds, there’s only time to gloss over the details of a closeout sale and have enough time to tell viewers where to find the car lot.

On radio, you can’t even see the cars.

Sarah Ellis GRAPHIC DESIGN

Monica Mendoza ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE

Ronnisue Servantez 925-237-6805

That’s why print advertisements can boost floor traffic for any business. A full-page ad can show off all the cars, with prices and finance rates, and include a map to the dealership. A reader can study the ad without having the typical TV commercial announcer yelling at her to buy now before it’s too late.

You can choose the correct size of print advertising to meet your needs and budget. If you go to a TV or radio station, your only choices are likely a :10, :15 or :30 spot. But with newspaper advertising, you can study the rate card to choose to advertise just your logo, address and phone number, or a full-color ad that can highlight your entire inventory. For businesses new to advertising, buying a print ad is a more low-key decision than trying to decide how to produce a complicated, expensive TV commercial.

The couponing craze makes a compelling argument to buy print advertising as well.

Many businesses yearn for an increase in floor traffic. Putting a coupon into a print ad is an ideal way for them to get more people through their doors.

TV or radio commercials may say, “mention this ad for 5% off,” but that’s likely not the sure-fire traffic booster as having a printed coupon that gets into the customer’s hand. Plus, a business has

4

an easier time managing expiration dates with a print ad than in the fine print that flies by in a TV commercial.

True, there are some places in a publication that are more desirable than others. But you can definitely get noticed through a magazine insert. When a reader pulls out the inserts from the middle of our publication, their hands will be on the ad and they can’t help but glance at it, especially if it is in color.

In a recent poll of our readers, a whopping 93% told us they prefer print advertising to Internet and other types of advertising. Print advertisements may not be as flashy as their counterparts on radio or television, but for clients interested in a cost-effective, no-frills approach to boosting sales, a full-color image can put green into their cash registers.

Here is to a more prosperous New Year!

Sincerely, Sonya North - CEO

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

A Healthy Smile is a Call Away!

As I look out my window at a beautiful December morning, I can see the sun rising over the distant San Joaquin Delta. With the New Year’s close on the calendar, this is usually the time of year that we all take a look at the year’s “to do” list. One item that often gets overlooked is trips to the family dentist. Off on assignment, I am about to find out why Alpha Dental is the place to go.

Conveniently located in Antioch on Lone Tree Way, Dr. Paul Lee is easily accessible via all major roads and boasts about their state of the art equipment. Now, don’t stop reading because you hate the dentist. I think you will find that this office and staff really do bring the word “gentle” into the equation. Not only are they friendly and accommodating, they offer the best and latest in dental technology and treatment options.

Committed to Your Dental Health for a Lifetime!

8

They offer dental care for the entire family and are proud to utilize the best sterilization equipment available to dentists. In addition to general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry, they work with specialists in Periodontics, Implant Dentistry and Endodontic and other specialists. They focus on comprehensive care, quality and preventive dentistry.

Ok, now you can go to the website and find out the real difference with Alpha Dental and other offices. They educate their patients about their treatment options and health issues. This counts ten points with me. Show me a picture, give me the details on what is going to happen and what it is going to cost. I, personally, would rather do my research before I walk in the door, rather than looking through the pretty binder with all the pictures, as I sit there, breaking a sweat, while waiting for them to call my name. This website explains everything from the diagnostic exam to pictures and detailed information on dental crowns. I have four crowns and had no idea how that all came about.

Dr. Lee is “committed to your dental health for a lifetime”. He and his staff

are dedicated to their profession and are kind, friendly and caring. When talking with them about Alpha Dental, they always refer to their mission to ensure a pleasant experience during your visit to the office. They offer free cosmetic consultation and second opinions. They offer implant restoration, mercury-free fillings, minimal radiation with digital x-ray and they are open Saturdays. With their ad, you can take advantage of a free professional whitening or a $299 one hour inoffice whitening upon completion of patient exam, x-ray and cleaning. Just like I said, affordable, friendly and informative.

So, Dr. Lee, this secret shopper gives you 10 new toothbrushes for offering convenient, friendly and comfortable dentistry to Contra Costa County.

The Monthly Grapevine encourages our readers to tell them the snoop sent you when you call to make your appointment. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

Alpha Dental is located at 5115 Lone

Tree Way in Antioch. They can be contacted at 925-706-0500 or visit them at www.

ON THE HOUSE

but not least, the best time to check for wood rot and other fungus damage at a wood subfloor is when the floor covering is being changed. Having made this decision, the next thing you’ll have to do is decide between self-sticking tiles or the type used with adhesive. We think the type that requires adhesive will stick better and last much longer.

Installing Vinyl Flooring Putting down vinyl tile flooring is a project that can be done relatively quickly, even though it might well cover a large surface area in your home. If you know a few simple “rules of the road,” you can do a kitchen in a weekend, if you decide to replace the entire floor, or in an afternoon, if you tile over it.

Except for the application of the adhesive, the process is the same with both types of vinyl tiles. In either case, the substrate that will receive the tile must be absolutely clean and free of any debris, grease, oil or wax.

We think that spending the entire weekend and removing the old floor first is the better way. There are several reasons why covering the old floor can be a problem:

NOTE: When an adhesive is used it should:

First, if there is a heavy texture in the existing flooring it will more than likely telescope through to the surface of the newly laid flooring.

2) It should be allowed to get tacky before tile is applied (20-30 min. in most cases).

1) Be applied SPARINGLY with a grooved trowel.

In our example, we will use a square room, but the same procedure applies to all shapes. This procedure is the same whether you are covering over new underlayment or the old floor covering.

Second, adding a thin smoothing layer of 3/8” underlayment over the old floor covering and under the new one may raise the floor just enough to make it difficult to remove built-in appliances from lower cabinets for repair or replacement.

First, make a mark on the floor at the center of each of the four perimeter walls.

String a chalk line from each opposing wall to the other and snap a heavy bright line.

The point where the chalk lines cross is the

It also might raise the floor just enough to keep doors from swinging freely. And, last

center of the room and also is the place where you will want to begin laying tiles.

It is important that the edges of the floor end up being balanced and symmetrical.

To ensure this result, lay one course of loose tiles along each of the two reference lines you snapped onto the floor. Center each course of loose tiles so that they end up an equal distance from opposing walls.

Another line might have to be snapped parallel to one of the two existing lines. If a second line is required, wash away the first one.

Next, start installing the tiles from either of the two reference lines, working from the center out. If adhesive is being used, don’t apply more than you can cover in about 20 minutes.

The last part of the job is “cutting in” the edges. We have a trick we think you’ll like.

You should lay the tile you want to cut flush with the wall-side edge of the installed tile nearest the wall. Next, lay a full tile over the one to be marked, and against the wall. Use the top tile that is against the wall to pencil mark the tile below for cutting.

Then, cut with a razor knife and place it.

Heart To Heart Ball Celebration Dinner Dance And Auction For Senior Wishes.

An Elderly Wish Foundation has announced the date of February 22, 2014 for it’s major fundraiser, the 12th Annual Heart to Heart Ball, “Treasured Wishes.” The majority of funds generated from this gala event will help “to enrich the days of the chronically ill seniors, in Contra Costa County, by making a life-long wish come true.”

This elegant dinner dance and auction will be at Antioch’s Lone Tree Golf and Event Center, 4800 Golf Course Road. This semi-formal evening is held from 5:30pm to 11:00pm and tickets are $60 per person. Guests will enjoy dancing to the music of Vocal Ease and the Boogie Men Band. The Heart to Heart Ball begins with a Silent Auction and delicious gourmet dinner with wine, followed by a short wish program and Live Auction. If you attend, you will have a chance to bid on a number of wonderful gift donations from individuals and businesses supporting the foundation’s mission. To date, some of the gifts available are: two round-trip tickets anywhere on Southwest Airlines, a two day Disneyland Hotel Getaway for four with two-day Disneyland Hopper tickets, also tickets to The S.F. Ballet, Oakland Warriors, S.F. Aquarium and Beach Blanket Babylon and dinner for two at the Yacht Club and overnight at the Renaissance Club Sport in Walnut Creek. Family Fun Packages for four include admission to the Academy of Science, S.F. Aquarium, Lawrence Hall of Science, Scandia and Pier 39, to name a few.

If you or your business is interested in becoming a Cash Sponsor or Gift Donor please call or send an email. Donations of gift certificates, gift cards, gift baskets, weekend getaways, fine wines or a sponsorship of $150 to $1000 are accepted. Each year, the support of the community in East County is just amazing. Join with other donors and share in the “gift of joy” seen through the eyes of a special senior when their wish comes true! If you have any questions or would like to join in for this fun-filled evening, please call 925-978-1883 or email at info@elderlywish.org.
