EDITOR’S PREVIEW Volume 40 • Number 4 APRIL 2021 Landan Kuhlmann Lead Reporter

Cultivating atmosphere of trust makes Integrated Pest Management a cut above The moment you walk into Integrated Pest Management’s office and retail store at 1118 E. Highway 90A in Richmond, you become part of the family.

At least, that’s what it felt like when I walked in to do the interview for the cover story in this month’s Fort Bend Business Journal.

From the moment I entered the storefront to the time I left, I was welcomed. The entire team was friendly and said hello as I walked through the common area to talk to General Manager Jeff McQueen, then politely said goodbye when I walked back through.

I could see the company’s philosophy, which Jeff said was the basis of the company’s founding under his father Bob and his father’s business partner Frank Comstive when the company was created in the early 1980s, epitomized during that short time.

Jeff told me that just as he protects his own family through pest control, he’s going to

protect other people’s families and loved ones the best way he knows how – eliminating pest from their homes and businesses. And you know what? He wasn’t just selling me some oceanfront property in Arizona – he’s the real deal.

You see, in this writer’s eyes, the only way a company stays around for nearly four decades is by committing to a vision and sticking to it, creating trust among its client base. From the beginning, Jeff said, Bob McQueen and Frank Comstive were committed to following through on their promises.

To this day, it looks as though the company is going strong with no signs of slowing down, and that’s not at all surprising to me after spending just a few minutes there.

So go on ahead and read this month’s cover story on Integrated Pest Management, Inc. inside today on Page 8 to see what they have to offer.

Small business marketing costs more than ever

By Jonathan McElvy jonathan@mcelvypartners.com Easy marketing tools on digital and social media do not mean digital and social media marketing is easy. It’s not. Don’t believe a single person who tells you otherwise. Even when that 20-something down the street tells you social media is way easy, that person is way wrong.

Look at any survey of small business owners – national all the way down to our own company’s recent Small Business Sentiment Survey – and you’ll find more and more companies begrudging the difficulty of this new era in marketing.

A new language of small business marketing Let’s be honest and at least admit most small business owners do not understand the language of digital and social media marketing. You may think you understand SEO, or Ad Words, or Boosted Posts or a dynamic website, but the reality is you don’t.

And small business owners shouldn’t feel bad about that, because there are too many so-called digital marketing companies that don’t understand, either. Well, it’s either that or they

McElvy outright lie to the customers, which is why they churn so many on and back off the client roll.

SEO – appearing organically at the top of search engines (Google) – is an easy acronym but it’s one most small businesses do not really understand.

Case-in-point: Our company had a small business that told us they wanted to be at the top of Google search in their business category.

That business owner allocated $2,000 a month to be at the top, and it needed to happen within a week.

If you don’t see the problem, then it’s more evidence for a lack of understanding. If your business starts an SEO campaign, you can certainly appear within the Top 4 listings on the first page of Google over time. If you want to be

$

absolutely first, in virtually any category, it’s going to take a higher investment and more time.

SEO is not about writing a check, appearing in search and raking in profits. Even after you start a campaign, it takes time. And once you appear, and people start clicking your link, you still are guaranteed nothing.

The idea that you just easily buy your way to the top of search is a misnomer, and it has forced a lot of businesses to flush thousands of dollars away on nothing. SEO is an investment.

It takes time to show up at the top of the page.

You can’t afford it Another approach to getting on page one quickly is Google AdWords. According to an analysis, most effective small businesses spend between $9,000-10,000 per MONTH on pay-perclick advertising. Is that in your marketing budget?

It’s not to say small businesses have to spend that much, but that’s an average. Why the enormous price tag? Well, it starts with competition. The more competitors you have, and the more they realize they, too, need to be SMALL BUSINESS CONTINUES on pg.12

Q: A:

ASK THE EXPERT

What to do About Hives

Hives are the skin’s reaction to certain things that may cause red or white itchy patches in the skin. Chronic hives, or uticaria, occurs when the itchy patches last more than six weeks or come back every few months or years. Symptoms of this condition can include wheals on the face, arms, legs, and trunk, itching, swelling, and welts that vary in size.

Common triggers may include exposure to insects, extreme changes in the temperature, sunlight, or alcohol.

Cortisone cream can help relieve the inflammation and itching associated with mild forms of hives. Second-generation antihistamines such as loratadine (Claritin), fexafenadine (Allegra), and cetirizine (Zyrtec) help reduce itching and do not cause as much sleepiness compared to the older antihistamines. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen (Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) may be taken to help reduce inflammation and pain. Omalizumab (Xolair) is approved in teenagers and adults with urticaria who do not find relief with antihistamines.

Q: A:

ASK THE EXPERT Why can’t I just buy a hearing aid on the internet?

Buying a hearing aid on the internet usually results in limited success for the patient. The state of Texas prohibits mail order hearing aids.

Audiologists need documentation that they fit the patient with a hearing Terry Snook aid in their office or they are in jeopardy of losing their AuD, FAAA medical license to practice Audiology. In addition, a hearing test should be performed in a controlled environment. Audiologists are required to have their equipment calibrated each year and the hearing test has to be performed in an anechoic chamber to reduce noise levels and standing waves. When considering fitting a hearing aid, it should be programmed precisely for a patient’s hearing loss and hearing needs. One test that should be done is real ear measurement. Real ear measurement is a test that measures sound in the patient’s ear. A microphone is placed in the patient’s ear canal and sounds are presented through a speaker. The aid can be precisely programmed while the audiologist is analyzing what the aid is doing in the patient’s ear.

Purchasing a hearing aid is a big investment and not a simple endeavor.

Precision of testing and programming is of the utmost importance to obtain quality results. A patient should also be very comfortable with the audiologist they are working with since the best results are usually achieved after working closely with that person.

Q: A:

ASK THE EXPERT

Why create an Estate Plan?

May God Bless our Men and Women in the Military

Legacy: The fundamental purpose of estate planning is to leave a legacy for the living.

It is not that death and taxes are unimportant, they just pale in significance to the legacy you leave behind. Margie Connolly, Attorney Unfortunately, numerous studies show that over 50% of Americans have no estate plan, no will and no medical directives. Why do so many people fail to properly plan for what happens at the end of their life? Simon & Garfunkel may have gotten to the heart of things in one of their songs: So I’ll continue to continue to pretend / My life will never end....

Carefully Consider Dispositions -- Can the recipients handle the assets you leave them…. Should you set up a trust to help with that?

Choose Trusted Team members – who will step into your shoes and take over paying your debts, collecting your assets, and disposing of your assets in the manner you request…

Plan Ahead - Don’t wait until it’s too late. Talk with an Estate Planning Attorney today.

Charlton’s Body Repair

Margie Connolly, Attorney

An honest repair shop will always say “no” to saving deductibles. Your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance carrier. It basically says that if you Chuck Charlton have a collision loss, you are responsible for the first portion of repairs (your deductible) and the insurance company will pay the rest. If the final repair cost is less, you’re still responsible for the predetermined deductible amount. Any reduction should correctly go back to the insurance company.

There are legitimate ways to reduce your cost. An appearance allowance (credit towards your deductible usually for minor cosmetic repairs not completed) is one way but must be consulted with your insurance company. Be wary of the repair shop that offers to save you your deductible. Are they completing all repairs or is your safety being jeopardized with an inadequate repair?

treats community through pest control COVER STORY BY

LANDAN KUHLMANN

Integrated Pest Management, Inc.’s story began with a two-man sales team.

Nearly 40 years later, the book on its success is far from finished, thanks to a simple concept. It may seem like a rudimentary concept, but at Integrated Pest Management, it’s much more. It’s a philosophy that General Manager Jeff McQueen and his father Bob, who co-owns the company with Frank Comstive, have strived to instill in each employee.

It is one that has sustained the business for nearly four decades, and led to three generations of the McQueen family working at the company that serves the pest control needs of Richmond, Sugar Land, Missouri City, Stafford and other Fort Bend County communities.

“We’re treating every customer like they’re a member of the family,” Jeff McQueen said.

“I do everything I can to protect my family, and I’m going to do everything I can to protect

everyone else’s family as well.”

Integrated Pest Management’s story started forming in late 1983 and early 1984 thanks to Bob McQueen and business partner Comstive. The pair was a sales team for a small Houston-based pest control company, when Jeff said the pair realized the owner of the business was not able to follow through on promises and services made to them and the customers.

From there, the pair decided to turn into entrepreneurs, eventually serving the customers themselves and then taking things one step further in efforts to help their community.

They eventually took the business over and renamed it as Integrated Pest Management, Inc. At Integrated Pest Management, Jeff McQueen and his team offer residential and commercial pest control services for pests such as termites, mosquitoes and more. They also offer specialty services for pests such as bats and snakes, along with services for lawn and landscape pests.

“We try to find the least toxic route to solve your problem – inspections are the number one tool that we use when we go out to a property,” Jeff said. “We are a familyowned and operated business, so we want to make sure we’re taking care of all the families we go to.”

The company also has a retail store where community members can come in and purchase the product if they prefer to do it themselves and get educated on how to use April 2021 H The Fort Bend Business Journal

the products.

“Anything pest-related, we can pretty much take care of,” Jeff said.

In a standard year, Jeff said there is a fairly even split between commercial and residential clients. During COVID-19, however, he said there have been more residential calls due to many people working from home in the region.

That increase in working from home, he said, has now coincided with the beginning of the spring season, when he said homes and businesses typically see an uptick in pest activity. And that’s where they come in.

“When it comes to dealing with pests, it’s a health risk if you’re not doing some sort of preventative maintenance,” Jeff said. “And with more people being at home there’s more of a chance for something to spread.”

What’s more, Jeff said he doesn’t see jobs as simply business transactions. It’s about building relationships with their clients, which is the principle he said the company was founded on with Bob and Frank. It’s in his blood to help others no matter what, which often leads to what Jeff called the most rewarding part of the job.

“Problem-solving has always been the biggest thing for me – to be able to go in there, it’s like being a detective. You’ve got to figure out what the problem is, why they have it, and how to solve it,” he said. “The ‘thank you’ that you get from them in being able to protect their family is the best.”

Area home builders open model homes in Richmond community

By Landan Kuhlmann LKuhlmann@fortbendstar.com Several home builders in the area have opened new models in Richmond’s new Candela living community, according to a news release from Johnson Development.

Builders Coventry Homes, Perry Homes and Westin Homes have recently opened three model homes each in the community, located along FM 359 about a mile south of the Westpark Tollway in Richmond.

President Michael Cox of Johnson Development, who is developing the Candela community, said more than three dozen buyers have already chosen homes in the community and that the new models should bring an uptick in sales.

“These builders are offering an excellent array of floor plans, with something for just about every buyer,” Cox said in a news release.

Candela’s first phase includes 302 40-, 50- and 60-foot homesites, according to Johnson Development. The 460-acre community is planned for more than 1,500

In addition to the models, the builders have dozens of inventory homes under construction in the community. Candela’s Axis Amenity Center, which features meeting

space, a courtyard with large fire pit, a fitness center, resort pool and more, is also nearing completion for residents’ enjoyment, according to Johnson Development.

“Residents should be able to enjoy Candela amenities as soon as they move in,” Cox said.

at the top of a search engine, companies like Google start the bidding war. Let’s say you’re a plumber and you want to appear at the top of Google. And let’s say you choose your keywords (the words consumers type into Google) as “Plumber near me.” To get one person to just click on your website will cost $25. If 10 people click your ad, it costs you $250.

If you have an enormous marketing budget, making the investment is a sure-fire way to success. If you get 100 people to click on your ad, and you get 10 plumbing jobs for the $2,500 you spent, you’ll make a lot more than $2,500 in profit from those 10 jobs.

The problem for most businesses is they don’t have that sort of marketing cash. And that leads to the next problem: You can’t spend that $25 per click for one month and walk away. Once the PPC starts, it needs to be managed and updated regularly to get the best return on

investment. Most small business owners don’t have the time or the understanding to do that.

The final piece A lot of good companies spend money showing up in digital searches and they cancel before they even get started. The response (and we hear this from our clients all the time) is that they have spent money on PPC for two months and they’ve only gotten a few calls.

Any idea why? It’s because a click does not guarantee anything. If a potential customer comes to your site and you have a poorperforming site, you don’t have recent reviews, you don’t have fresh content, you don’t have original photos, you don’t blog about anything, you don’t show competitive pricing – all of those things send your would-be customers packing.

You see, spending money on search advertising does not make your phone ring.

Paying for any sort of digital advertising simply gets people to find you. Once they find you, have you invested enough to actually close them as customers? The answer is usually no, because April 2021 H The Fort Bend Business Journal

most businesses can’t afford it. If they’re going to spend a ton on having a perfect website (our suggestion), then the budget for SEO or social advertising is diminished.

And if they dump all their money into digital marketing, but they don’t have a good website, they may as well have taken a nice vacation with the funds.

Small business marketing is not easy, it’s not cheap and, most importantly, it is not easily understood. The next time you’re thinking about a digital campaign for your business, you’re much better off calling a marketing company and having a nice, long discussion. That’s something we do with our clients all the time, and we’ve learned our lesson about making sure clients understand the level of commitment digital marketing really takes.

Any company that tells you otherwise just wants your money; they care little about your results.

FOCUS You might contribute to your IRA for decades to help pay for your retirement. But if you don’t need all the money, you may want to leave what’s left to your children or grandchildren. However, if you want to ensure they get the most from this inheritance, you’ll need to do some planning.

Here’s a little background: Up until a couple of years ago, when you left the proceeds of your IRA to your beneficiaries, they could choose to “stretch” required withdrawals over a long period, based on their life expectancies. These required withdrawals were generally taxable, so this “stretch IRA” allowed your beneficiaries to greatly reduce the annual taxes due, while benefiting from longer tax-deferred growth potential. And the younger the beneficiary, the longer the life expectancy and the lower the withdrawals, so this technique would have been especially valuable for your grandchildren or even greatgrandchildren.

Changes in laws affecting retirement accounts have significantly limited the stretch IRA strategy. Now, most nonspouse beneficiaries must withdraw all assets from the IRA within 10 years of the IRA owner’s death. The beneficiary generally does not have to take out any money during that 10-year period, but at the end of it, the entire balance must be withdrawn – and that could result in a pretty big tax bill.

The stretch IRA strategy can still be used for surviving

Help Protect Your Family’s Inheritance spouses, beneficiaries who are no more than 10 years younger than the deceased IRA owner, and beneficiaries who are chronically ill or disabled.

Minor children of the original account owner are also eligible for a stretch IRA – but only until they reach the age of majority, at which time the 10-year rule applies.

So, if you want to leave your IRA to family members who don’t meet any of the above exceptions, what can you do?

One possibility is a Roth IRA conversion. You could convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA over your lifetime, so your heirs would receive the Roth IRA. They would still be required to withdraw the assets within 10 years, but unlike with a traditional IRA, Roth IRA withdrawals are generally tax-free. These conversions are taxable, so you’ll want to consult your tax professional in addition to your financial advisor, to determine if this strategy can help you achieve your legacy goals.

Another option is to purchase life insurance, which can provide a specific dollar amount to your heirs or be used to help cover additional taxes. This may be especially advantageous if you are 72 or older, in good health, and taking withdrawals – technically called required minimum distributions – from your retirement accounts, such as your traditional IRA and your 401(k). If you don’t really need the money, you can use these withdrawals to pay for some or all of the insurance premiums. Life insurance can’t replace an IRA as a means to save for retirement, though, so you should consult with your financial advisor to make sure you are working toward all your goals.

In any case, if you have a sizable IRA or you don’t need the funds that you’re required to take from your retirement accounts, you may want to start thinking about what you want to do with the money. The more thorough your legacy planning, the better your chances of meeting your legacy goals.

Nehls

One of the most hotly-contested and high-profile races in Fort Bend County history is over.

Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls, a Republican, defeated Democrat Sri Preston Kulkarni to assume U.S. Rep. Pete Olson’s seat in Texas’ 22nd Congressional District, which includes Fort Bend County and parts of Harris County and Brazoria County.

Per the Texas Secretary of State, Nehls prevailed by a margin of 50 percent to 45 percent, or 155,809 votes to 138,694 votes.

“I want to personally send heartfelt thanks and sincere gratitude to the many volunteers who made calls, worked the polls, and served on advisory committees,” Nehls said in a Nov. 8 Facebook post. “This is a tremendous team effort and I could not be more appreciative to you. I’m especially proud of our interns for getting involved and learning more about

the political process. Lastly, thank you to all who cast votes.

I will work tirelessly to represent

the best interests of all residents in our district.”

In a Nov. 6 message to his supporters on Facebook, Kulkarni said he was “not done fighting for our future.”

“Our campaign in (Texas’ 22nd Congressional District) has always been about bringing real representation to our communities and ensuring everyone has a voice in our political system,”

Safe haven

Kulkarni said. “Over the past three years, we built the most diverse and inclusive grassroots campaign for Congress Texas has ever seen, with more faiths and ethnic and linguistic communities than anything we have ever seen before. This campaign was about all of us, not any one person running for office, and about the potential we have to restore reason, compassion and
