Living in a Travel Trailer in Winter

Travel trailers are hot in summer and bitter cold in winter. There isn’t much you can do about that, it’s the nature of the thing and something you’ve got to live with, if you decide to live in a tin box.

I do whatever I can to keep the temperature at a bearable level – even a gain of five or ten degree is a big deal when you wear thermal underwear to bed.

The first thing I did was tape plastic over the windows and check the seal around the door. Next I replaced the light weight “summer curtains” with heavy weight acrylic fleece curtains (made from material bought at Wal-Mart) to further block drafts and keep the heat in and the cold out.

My trailer has two ceiling vents, one in the bedroom and another in the bathroom. These are great in summer to let the heat out, unfortunately during the winter months they let a lot of heat out and cold in.

I cut two pillows from a four inch thick piece of foam bedding. These were cut slightly larger than the space for the vents so they could be pushed into place and held by friction.

From an old emergency space blanket, I cut pieces large enough to cover the pillows on all sides then neatly folded and taped this over the pillows forming a reflective cover. They are easily removed if needed and should keep the heat in and cold out.

Travel trailer doors are poorly insulated and have single paned glass, as a result they aren’t very energy efficient. I taped plastic over the windows. I hang a heavy wool blanket over the door during cold snaps.

I also lined the walls inside the closets, shelves and under my bed with reflective type insulation. This is the first time I’ve used this type of material, so I can’t guarantee the performance, the reviews I’ve read were positive. If you’ve used this material or have other ideas for winterizing a travel trailer, please leave feedback in the comments below.

Direct Marketing

Direct Marketing – The Basics

Direct marketing is a very recent trend for most businesses. However, there are a still a lot of people out there who still does not know what it is, what it’s for and how can it help your business. I prepared some basic FAQs about it for your convenience.

FAQ #1: What is direct marketing, anyway?

It takes place when you initiate contact with your current and potential customers through unsolicited means-email. phone call, text message, etc.-whose primary motive is to increase sales and raise awareness of other people on your products.

Most businesses favor direct marketing because it is, by far, one of the most cost efficient way of marketing. Direct marketing reaches a wider customer base than any other methods while minimizing cost.

FAQ #2: How do businesses contact their customer when they perform direct marketing?

There are two types of customers: existing and new customers. Contacting your existing customers is fairly easy because you don’t have to find their customer contact information because you have all these information in your database. Your client database is your most valuable resources for direct marketing schemes. For a more efficient customer database, your database should always include:

Your customer’s ordering behavior – when are they more likely to order your products or subscribe to your services, how much they are paying, the interval of orders and how often to they purchase.

Your customer’s buying behavior – what types of goods are often bought, how much are being bought and your customer’s value

Contact details – these are personal details pertaining to your customer which includes your customer’s post code, type of area, age, gender and other details about their lifestyle or socio-economic status.

If you are aware of your customer’s personal details, then you can devise a marketing campaign which can be very effective in promoting your business. Using the right technology and method, you will be able to reach and recruit more customers.

FAQ #3: What methods are being employed in direct marketing?

There are various methods involved in direct marketing which may include one or more of the following:

1. Direct mail. In this method, you are sending information about your products and services straight into the mailbox of the people who might be interested on that you are offering. While most people do not even bother opening these mail/advertisements, it is still considered as the most effective means of direct marketing.

2. Fax marketing. With the recent advancements in faxing technology, people are now able to send and receive fax messages simultaneously and in bulk through online fax. Since most businesses have websites and online fax uses the internet to communicate, it can send fax messages to hundreds of people with just one click of a button.

3. Email marketing – if direct mail is the most effective, email marketing is cheapest form of direct marketing. You can send one email to millions of recipient using the internet. Very few energy is consumed because all you need is a simple click on mouse.

Tina L. Douglas is a skilled writer from California. She’s an expert writer of online fax. She believes that online fax websites can help promote the benefits of using internet fax than the usual way of faxing.

A Trademark can be registered by filling in Form No-1 provided by the Trademark registration office. There are various forms available at the registry for different type of trademark registration such as service mark, collective mark, etc. The application has to be filed in the Trademarks registry office in the territory according to the place of business. The place of business here means the place in India where the proprietor is carrying on his business. If he is carrying on business in more than one place, then the place of business would be principal (i.e. headquarter) place of business in India. If the person is not having a place of business in India but has a residence in India then such place of residence would be his address for place of business in India. In case, who has no place of business in India then the applicant shall need to provide an address for Service in India.

The applicant has to provide details such as proprietor name, place of business and address, first date of use of trademark, the trademark name used or proposed to be used, the court which would have the jurisdiction in case of any infringement, any translation or transliteration of the trademark name (if any), copies of representation of trademark, etc., and other details required in the form. After filing, the Trademark office shall issue an application number for the Trademark filed for which registration is pending. After receiving the application number, one can use TM next to the Trademark name, for e.g. INTEPAT™. Once the registration is complete one can use r in a circle next to the registered trademark name, for e.g. CADBURY®.

Any modification or amendment can be made to the application for Trademark registration even after its acceptance by the Trademark registry office. The Trademark registration office after accepting the application shall advertise the trademark application for opposition. If any opposition arises then both parties would have to prove their stand by necessary evidence before the Registrar of Trademark. Thereafter, after receiving appropriate evidence the Registrar may decide whether the applied trademark can be registered or not.

If the trademark is registered then an entry into the register is made including:

• Address of principal place of business of the proprietor in India

• Particulars of the trade, occupation or business of the proprietor

• The scope of the registration i.e. class of the goods or services

• The convention application date(if any)

• If the mark is collective or certification mark or any other mark

• The registration is done with the consent of the proprietor

• The appropriate office of the Trademarks registry in relation to the trademark.

Thereafter, a Certificate of Trademark registered is issued in Form no-2.

The whole procedure for registration may take approximately 18 months or more from the date of application.

Ozeri Gen II Digital MultiFunction Bathroom Scale with Instant Weight (440lb / 200kg), Body Fat & Water Measurements, now with Built-in Memory for 10 Users Great Promotion!We bought 3 of their products after receiving an email promo from a friend. Very happy with the products and what a great deal. We had to contact them for an issue with one product that was not turning on and it turns out we had not removed the battery protective slip that it shipped with the product to prevent it from turning on during shipping. At first I was concerned with that one negative review about customers who bought and rated several products, but ending up buying 3 products based on the promotion we received, so not sure the others didn’t do that too. Can’t tell you how long the promotional prices will last as that wasn’t written in the email, but these prices are great. BTW, one thing the manual was not clear about on the bathroom scale was taking off your socks for the Fat and Water readings. It took me a couple tries before I realized that. Continue Reading.
