Mobile advertisingtakes to the skies

In the age of mobile Internet, old-school aerial advertising

might seem a little out of step.

But the reality is that aerial advertising has en-joyed big-time success, es-pecially when it comes to messages on the sides of large blimps. While blimps are not planned for Fresno, something similar is on its way.

Fresno advertising agen-cy Boling Associates plans to take advertising to the skies with a fully function-al hot air-inflated advertis-ing airship.

Airship | from 1

U.S. Globally, fewer than 30 of the airships are in operation, with the majority in Europe.

Along with advertising, Boling plans to make airship marketing partner opportunities available.

He said Boling Associates has hired a pilot from Sacramento, and the airship is currently being refur-bished in Germany. It is expected to be ready for use by the end of March.

Boling said the previous owner of the craft had a contract with DHL delivery company, which had its name displayed on the airship. The craft is made by Gefa-Flug of Ger-many, which is an offshoot of the Zeppelin Company.

Boling declined to disclose the cost of the airship and its refurbish-ing, but Gefa-Flug sells new airships with a four-passenger compartment for about $160,000. That does not include extras like an automatic heat system for automatic altitude control.

The airship is fairly easy to pre-pare for flight, taking only about 45 minutes to get inflated. Its maxi-mum speed is 23 miles per hour and it can fly for up to five hours on a full tank of fuel.

The craft can carry as much as 500 pounds in the passenger com-partment.

It can take off from an airport or a parking lot free of obstructions. Possible takeoff sites include Chan-dler and Sierra Sky Park airports. It can fly over metropolitan areas and near stadiums and public events.

After flying, it is deflated and folded up. It can fit in a trailer be-hind a medium-duty pickup truck.

The advertising space consists of two interchangeable banner sta-tions on each side of the aircraft. Additionally, smaller permanent advertising will be affixed to the tail fins of the airship.

Pricing for the advertising will be based on a per–flight-hour basis. Pricing will also be based on the overall block of hours purchased.

Rick Bubenik, owner of Ricana Media Group in Fresno, said bal-loons and airships have been suc-cessful ways of advertising for a long time. And being old school, he also likes the use of tracking lights at night to draw customers.

“It’s just going back to what works,” he said. “If it brings atten-tion to your business, that’s great.”

Bubenik added that he brought banner-pulling biplanes into the area three years ago to advertise above Fresno State football games.

Boling said the airship advertis-ing would be combined with tar-geted mobile, online and social media campaigns to build a brand for the adver-tiser. He added that although traditional blimp advertising was not financially feasible for all ad-vertisers, purchasers of airship advertis-ing would get the same blimp exposure at one-tenth of the blimp advertising cost.

The airship is much less expen-sive to operate than a traditional blimp because it is filled with heat-ed air instead of helium. It operates more like a hot air balloon, but has the blimp shape and blimp-like pas-

senger compartment instead of a basket.

The Goodyear blimp, by compari-son, uses about $300,000 worth of helium per filling.

The ship can be flown day or night as long as Federal Aviation Administration minimum visibility requirements are met. It can safely

fly upwards of 10,000 feet, but 1,000 to 1,500 feet will be the targeted altitude.

The airship oper-ates on two differ-ent types of fuel. The first is propane used for the heating of the air for lift. The airship carries two 45-pound propane cylinders.

The second fuel is standard high-

octane gas used for the propulsion engine. It consists of a built-in six-gallon tank that burns roughly one gallon an hour.

digital and mobile content to remain competitive and profitable.

Bruce Batti, president of Jeffrey Scott Agency in Fresno, has seen growth in demand for content writ-ers who provide information and storytelling while answering ques-tions on company pages on social media sites such as Facebook.

The effort can help to build a com-pany brand, Batti said.

Providing short videos for so-cial media and other websites are also considered useful in building a brand. Batti said the advertising vid-eos must be short and to the point.

“Length is always a concern,” he said.

Use of iPads and iPhones to view online information and social media sites is another strong growth area. That is one of the reasons why Jef-frey Scott Agency acquired Tricycle Inc. in 2013.

Tricycle’s expertise in interactive media design and software devel-opment made it possible for Jeffrey Scott Agency to handle its comput-er-smartphone-digital-social media services in-house.

“We wanted to reach out with Tri-cycle to develop a smart phone and web presence,” Batti said.

Digital videoExperts say media marketing

will depend more heavily on visual story telling this year, and that has spawned and expanded companies that specialize in short digital vid-eos to full-length films that can be presented on a variety of platforms including company websites, social media sites and television.

They can also be designed for use in popular mobile devices like iPhones and iPads.

Multimedia and visual storytell-ing is considered one of the top 5 marketing trends for 2014 by Social-

CONtriBUteD | Digital video is increasingly becoming a more lucrative marketing tool as more Americans watch more Internet videos every year.

Media Today.The site states that smart content

marketers offer visual information in addition to text.

ComScore Inc. of Reston, Va., re-cently reported that about 189 mil-lion Americans watched 49.1 billion online videos in October 2013, up from 183 million watching more than 37 billion videos during the same month one year earlier.

In its top social media trends for 2014, unrulymedia.com predicted that mobile devices would become the most popular way to view videos in 2014. Sarah Wood, chief operating officer of Unruly Media, said mobile video would account for 70 percent of total mobile data traffic by the end of 2016.

“The genie is out of the bottle,” said Paul Quebe, owner of J.P. Mar-keting in Fresno, in regard to digital filmmaking.

“This is where we see the most growth.”

Quebe cited Walt Disney Co.’s Live Well Network as a good example of informative digital programs that cover topics from recipes and cook-ing to home makeovers and fashion topics. Live Well is presented on ca-ble television, but its videos can also be seen on the Live Well website at www.livewellnetwork.com and on Facebook.

In addition, an app is available to pick up the videos on iPhone and iPad.

In an article published by wired.com, Bismarck Lepe, co-founder and president of Ooyala Products, pro-vider of online video management, publishing, analytics and monetiza-

tion, said faster internet, more con-tent and more devices capable of streaming high-quality video have created a larger and still-growing audience for streaming video.

Fresno has a variety of video and film production companies includ-ing Windsong Productions. Once part of J.P. Marketing, Windsong Productions, split off and now oper-ates as its own company.

The company’s work includes movies, TV shows, web content and commercials.

Windsong Productions also works with Live Well Network including the program “My Family Recipe Rocks!”

“We have enjoyed steady growth,” said Byron Watkins, managing part-ner and creative director of Wind-song Productions. “We started about two and a half years ago and been busy the whole time.”

Watkins said some of the work goes toward the Internet and social media sites in the form of short vid-eos. Other jobs include making com-mercials and story-telling films.

Some are videos that tell an infor-mative story about a product or ser-vice. Many are designed for use on all digital platforms.

“The digital platform continues to grow and gain momentum,” Quebe said. “Content marketing is becom-ing more and more necessary.”

Telling a story has also become a big part of marketing programs. And today’s videos are designed to tell a story, while providing information.

economic output.”California, on the other hand, has

sunk below the national average in terms of economic growth, Schloss-berg said.

Even though last year started to look good for the state, he expressed concern over the recent loss of mo-mentum in the housing market caused by higher interest rates.

Very modest growth, he said, was seen in the Central Valley and even in the Bay Area in places like Oak-land that haven’t benefitted from the high-tech boom the way San Fran-cisco and other coastal cities have.

“I would say there are pockets of strength here as well,” he said. “The hospitality industry and the tourism industry, when just looking at the raw numbers, are showing recently good economic growth.”

The hope, he said, is that such in-dustry gains will lead the U.S. to a more self-sustained growth, unlike the stop-go ups and downs of the last four or five years since the start of the recession.

A year-over-year growth rate of 3 percent is the “magic” number that

economists look to for indicate reli-able job growth, he said.

Issues stifling economic growth, Schlossberg said, include uncertain-ly among businesses about potential up-heavals in the finan-cial market, causing many to hold back on hiring and investing.

Gridlock in the gov-ernment over how to handle the impending debt ceiling has cre-ated even more strain both in the public and private sector, while requirements of the Affordable Care Act could cost businesses more than expected.

The labor market continues to be challenged by a short supply of skilled workers to meet de-mand, something Schlossberg said is being further exacerbated by a slowing population growth.

Income equality is also increasing among the lower and middle class, he said, with no clear strategies on how to resolve the gap.

“It’s not healthy for a democracy to

see that inequality becoming more and more skewed toward upper in-come families,” he said. “The risk is that the upper income families will

be taxed more heav-ily to try to even out that income mald-istribution, if you will, and that works against economic growth.”

Schlossberg men-tioned some good things to look for-ward to in the year ahead include fuel prices beginning to come down com-pared to the last few years, a pull back on government spend-ing and taxes as the

economy improves and household wealth growing at a near double-digit rate.

And although long-term interest rates are rising to the vexation of mortgage payers, the Federal Re-serve is still able to control short-term rates by buying up securities to jumpstart the economy, a program that’s expected to end in the next 12

to 18 months.“What we’re going to be seeing

this year and out beyond that is an economy driven less by pump prim-ing and more by income changes, by business investment decisions,” he said. “It means the stock mar-ket is going to have to rely more on earnings growth to validate recent gains and build on those increases as well.”

What the U.S. has going for it more than anything, Schlossberg said, is a sense of entrepreneurism not seen in many other countries, led by strides in the high-tech sector and innova-tions such as hydraulic fracturing for oil and cloud computing to share ideas and encourage venture capital investments.

“The benefits of low cost energy in driving manufacturing led growth are becoming increasingly appar-ent,” he said. “As we take the longer view, we think that the U.S. is better positioned than many other devel-oped economies and some emerging markets to take advantage of oppor-tunities that are growing out there.”

Fresno’s WET-incubated companies raised $7M last year

One of the region’s best-known hubs for business startup assis-tance, the Central Valley Business Incubator has recently assumed a new title with a revamped mission focused on helping entrepreneurs in the water and energy sector.

Since its establishment in 1996, the Fresno-based organization has been providing startup and ex-panding companies with business consultation, education, access to capital and even office space to help them make their ventures profit-able.

Only in the last few years, how-ever, has the push to promote tech-nology gained prominence, driven by the staff and services at CVBI’s Water and Energy Technology Cen-ter built on the campus of Fresno

State in 2007 in partnership with the International Center for Water Technology.

In fact, this past month saw CVBI wrapping up the closure of its for-mer launching pad office along Shaw Avenue and consolidating into the WET Center where it houses five startup technology companies and works closely with 15 other member businesses to help them grow.

According to the WET Center’s new Director Helle Petersen, the move came out of a need to special-ize in specific industries while step-ping aside for similar organizations to handle more mainstream busi-nesses.

“When we took a look at the land-scape in Fresno and the services provided here, we felt there was some overlap,” said Petersen, who came over to the WET Center after

receiving her Master of Business Administration degree from Fresno State and an engineering degree from the Technical University of Denmark. “All the other organiza-tions like SBDC (Small Business Development Center) and SCORE do a great job in helping entrepre-neurs.”

Petersen suggested that incuba-tors around the country are most successful when they are focusing on one area, something the WET Center plans to do even more of now that its staff of four and part-ners are all working out of the one building at 2911 E. Barstow Avenue.

Some rented space in the Cali-fornia Agricultural Technology In-stitute building across the street is also used as an area to hold work-shops and do administrative work like accounting.

For WET Center members, the annual fee pays off in the form of public relations and advertising as-sistance, technical development, business counseling and help mak-ing industry connections that can increase their visibility.

WET Center staff can also direct member companies and all else seeking help to partner agencies like the nearby International Cen-ter for Water Technology as well as small business advocates like SBDC and the Fresno Regional Workforce Connection’s www.fresno4biz.com.

“I think we’re going to come out with even greater resources and outcomes and be able to help many more entrepreneurs and companies in water and energy ag space,” Pe-tersen

said. “We have the university and

ENERGYTulare grape producergoing solar

Sundale Vineyards in Tulare has broken ground on a 1.13-megawatt solar photovoltaic system expected to offset energy bills for its cold stor-age facility by 91 percent.

The system from Cenergy Power is being built on four acres and is ex-pected to pay for itself in four years. Over the next 25 years, it is estimat-ed to save more than $5.7 million in electricity costs and remove 30,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

“This solar project is a testament to our commitment to the environ-ment and social responsibility,” said Todd Kinosian, owner of Sun-dale Vineyards, said in a statement. “Sundale firmly believes that envi-ronmentally-conscious agriculture practices are vital to the sustainable growth of the industry.”

Sundale Vineyards is a grower, shipper and packer of various table grapes with roots dating to the 1930s. It shipped about 4 million boxes of grapes for the 2013 season.

GOVERNMENTBrown talks water, rail in Fresno

California Governor Jerry Brown addressed the Fresno media during a rare visit to the Central Valley Mon-day, fielding questions on everything from the budget and drought to high-speed rail and the state’s pending water bond.

Much of Brown’s tour through the Valley was in promotion of his state budget proposal released a few days ago.

He also visited with growers and officials of the Westlands Water Dis-trict in Fresno to hear their views on California’s water crisis followed by meetings with the heads of Fres-no City College and Fresno State, Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer and a tour with Mayor Ashley Swearengin through the Fulton Mall.

During a press conference later at Fresno City Hall, Brown had a lot to say in favor of the state’s high-speed rail project, which now sits in limbo since Sacramento Superior Court Judge Michael Kenny blocked the sale of $8 billion in bonds to fund the 520-mile system.

“Sixteen other countries have high-speed rail,” he said. “America should be strong enough, big enough and visionary enough to construct high-speed rail.”

Another issue taking precedence at the state capitol, he said, has to do with California’s limited water supply that has farmers gravely con-cerned about the upcoming crop sea-son.

In response to questions about whether he will call for a drought emergency to seek federal assistance for the problem, Brown simply said that will happen soon.

In the meantime, he conveyed his intention to work with water offi-cials to promote better groundwater management practices and more ap-propriate water rules while continu-ing to flesh out the details of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan anchored by a twin-tunnel system to convey water through the delta region.

“If we have a delta conveyance

that’s constructed properly, the re-verse flows that kills the fish will be avoided and that will mean a greater availability of water and more reli-able supply of water and that’s why a number of water districts are very eager to see a water project con-structed,” he said.

He said an $11.14 billion water bond slated for the 2014 state ballot is also being finalized to fund goals like water management programs, water treatment improvements in small communities and increasing surface water storage capacity in the form of new dams.

Mozier to head Fresnopublic works

Scott Mozier has been named the City of Fresno’s new Public Works Director, City Manager Bruce Rudd announced today.

Mozier began his career with the City of Fresno in 2002, and has served as assistant director of Public Works since 2006. Mozier replaces Patrick Wiemiller, who is the new city administrator in Lompoc.

Mozier has served as the city’s lead contact for the high-speed rail project, remaining actively involved

with the engineering aspects of local construction planning.

“Scott has an extensive engineer-ing background in the area of pub-lic and private development and is well-regarded by the local business community,” Rudd said in a state-ment. “He has worked diligently throughout the years to ensure the quality and maintenance of the City’s diverse and ever-evolving infrastructure systems, and I am pleased that he will continue to play a leading role in these efforts.”

Mozier, who holds a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering from the University of California at Davis, is a licensed California civil and traffic engineer.

In addition to Mozier, Kerri Do-nis—an 18-year veteran of the Fresno Fire Department—has been named the city’s fire chief.

AGRICULTURE temporarily” suspending operations again.

Foster Farms said Sunday it was closing the plant in Livingston for several days so it can properly imple-ment new food safety measures. The company said in a statement that it is “exercising vigilance” and dedi-cating additional time to ensure its preventative plan is realized.

Work had resumed Saturday after Foster Farms announced that it met the demands of the U.S. Department of Agriculture by performing a thor-ough cleanup and treatment of the plant.

The plant closed Jan. 8 when in-spectors found the cockroaches on five separate occasions in various parts of the plant over four months. That closure came three months after inspectors threatened a shut-down because of salmonella prob-lems at the Livingston plant and two Foster Farms sites in Fresno.

Those facilities stayed open as the company agreed to improve safe-guards. It also issued no recalls of products and instead advised con-sumers to handle chicken properly and to cook it thoroughly.

The company said in its statement on Sunday that maintenance work-ers will remain on the job during the voluntary closure. The company also said it has temporarily shifted production to its other plants in Cali-fornia’s Central Valley.

The 85,000 square-foot facility in Ho Chi Minh City will enhance cleaning and storage processes for black pepper and add processing ca-pabilities for cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg products.

The facility is one of the largest in the world in its category, employing more than 400 people.

“Our regional presence in origins such as Vietnam for the past eight years allows us to take control of the commodity at the farm gate level and closely manage the product from post-harvest processing to storage and final delivery,” said Olam SVI President Greg Estep, in a statement.

“Our customers can be confident the ingredients that make their prod-ucts great are of the highest quality and sourced through our unparal-leled processing and logistics capa-bilities.”

Singapore-based Olam Interna-tional established Fresno as its West Coast headquarters in 2011. It opened its Innovation & Quality center in Fresno for research and development last year.

RETAILDowntown GroceryOutlet in works

Fresno’s fourth Grocery Outlet store is being planned for an empty building formerly occupied by a Fresh & Easy store at 2820 Tulare St. in the downtown area.

The 15,033 square-foot structure will be refurbished and should be ready to open by mid-2014, said Me-lissa Porter, vice president of mar-keting for Grocery Outlet.

CONTRIBUTED | A record 13.5 million tons of processing tomatoes is on tap in a new forecast for the state.

The USDA-NASS California Field Office surveyed the state’s tomato processors for their in-tended contract acreage and ton-nage and found contract sales will total 13.5 million tons this year.

The data reported by proces-sors was either tonnage with de-rived acreage, or acreage with de-rived tonnage.

If realized, it would be the larg-est crop on record. Processors estimate that the contracted pro-duction for 2014 will come from 290,000 acres producing an av-

erage yield of 46.55 tons per acre. The contracted planted acreage forecast is a 12 percent increase from what was reported under contract in the August 2013 Cali-fornia Processing Tomato Report.

California’s processing toma-toes are grown in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys.

The early processing tomato estimate is funded by the Califor-nia League of Food Processors in cooperation with the California Department of Food and Agricul-ture.

TheSaleS GuruJeffrey Gitomer

I get a ton of emails from people seeking insight or asking me to solve their sales dilemmas. Here are a few that may relate to your job, your life, and (most important) your sales thought process right now.

Dear Jeffrey, This is my first week in car sales. Can you tell me what sections of any of your books I could go to for help with deflect-

ing that first, "What's your best price?” question. I want to build rapport and provide the value of my ser-vices in addition to the vehicle. I was thinking of using your "Can you close a sale in five questions?" as my porcupine close, ignoring the price ques-

tion, and asking my own question, "Jeffrey, how do you select a car or truck?" Any suggestions? Rich

Rich, Yes, I have a bunch of sug-gestions. First of all, you're battling 100 years worth of doing it the wrong way. Yes, there have been a lot of cars sold, but oftentimes in spite of themselves. And the reason people come in and want the best price is because they've already shopped online. They already know what the car costs. The customer is now more educated in the car business than the car salesperson is because the customer has probably shopped ten different brands and the car salesman pretty much only knows his own.

So the challenge for you as a salesperson is if you get a ques-tion of "What is your best price?" get it down to the model and say, "Look, I'll give you my best price, but don't you want to know if this is the right car for you? Why don't we take it for a drive and then we'll talk about how much it is if you really want it. If you don't want it, there's no sense in negotiating for it and I'm assuming if I give you may best price, you'll say ‘Thanks’ and buy it. Otherwise, you're going to go shop around and thank me and then go talk to my competition and that's not what we want to do. We want to put you in a car. We want to make you feel great, and we want you to get the best car for your money today and when you sell it, and we want to make sure along the way that it's maintained. Is that fair enough?" Jeffrey

Dear Jeffrey, I'm in sales and the manager of the office is also an agent. She distributes the Internet leads for the other agents and regu-larly keeps the highest dollar leads for herself. We have a transpar-ent database that percentage-wise

shows she's been doing this for over a year, yet she denies it. How do I deal with a manager like this? Bill

Bill, You quit! You don't want to work for a liar. You certainly don't want to work for someone who garners all the leads for herself. Why don't you give her all the leads and go get your own leads? Or, why don't you go someplace where it's fairer? My recommendation is first talk to her boss and ask if there is any way the leads can be distributed more fairly. Obviously, if you were getting all the leads you might do the same thing yourself. It's called cherry picking. She knows not only what the best lead is, but also what the easiest lead to close is. Maybe it should just be random, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, and split up the leads like that. If she fights it, she's doing it the wrong way. You gotta be ethical, you gotta be honest, or you gotta find another job. Best regards, Jeffrey

Dear Jeffrey, I have a large insur-ance agency and we interview for salespeople quite often. "Looking for a professional with an aggressive sales demeanor." Somebody told me of an interview question that they ask and I'd like to get your opinion. During an interview, this person will ask the interviewee to bark like a dog. That's a pretty rough ques-tion isn't it? If they don't do it, the person will end the interview. If they do it, the interview continues. The rationale is that if they don't do it, they're not inclined to get out of their comfort zone. If they bark, and they're comfortable in doing it, they'll be comfortable in doing things out of their normal task. What do you think of this? Jay

Jay, What do you think of it? Do you think it's professional or do you think it's third grade? Well, I'm sorry candidate, you didn't bark like a dog, so even though you're a great salesperson, you're a smart guy, and you've got a great attitude, you're disqualified. Dude, that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life! Why don't they just cluck like a chicken? The challenge is this: If I’m interviewing someone, I want to know if they're smart, I want to know if they're self-starting, I want to know if they have a great attitude, and I want to know if they have some kind of past history of success. All the rest is irrelevant. Best regards, Jeffrey

INSIDE

The day of the lonely farmer’s daughter (or son, or anyone else on the farm) may be coming to a close.

FarmersOnly.com, a dating website for single farmers and people who like the country, is building ties and even helping to tie the not in some cases by providing a means of communication between farmers who live nearby or miles away, but might not ever meet otherwise.

It is a different take on singles match sites, some of which — like Match.com, eHarmony and Christian Mingle — have become well advertised. FarmersOnly.com has its own advertisements that have viewers laughing, but are bringing new singles

to the site every day.Jerry Miller, owner of

FarmersOnly.com, based in northern Ohio, said some non-country viewers have asked if the commercials are for real. Miller responds that they are not only for real, but are filling an important need.

And he said it doesn’t matter if the single person owns a farm or ranch. It’s more of a longing for the country and a love of plants and animals that matters, Miller said.

“These people are laid back and not as materialistic,” Miller said. “It is more of a mindset.”

One of the FarmersOnly.com commercials features farm animals talking about how lonely Jill is and “she is walking the cornfields again.” Another features three farm

friends and a dog.Two of the farmers begin

arguing about the length of a fish one caught, when the third farmer holding a iPhone breaks in showing a date he landed on FarmersOnly.com and that he’s “got to go.”

The commercials end with a jingle, “You don’t have to be lonely at FarmersOnly.com.”

Kicked off in 2005 with a few farmers in the Midwest, FarmersOnly.com now has more than 200,000 subscribers from all over the U.S. and Canada. It has also taken hold in the San Joaquin Valley where several weddings resulted from singles visiting the site.

The site provides a means of finding someone with similar interests. Full names are not given out on the site.

Instead, user names

Farmer dating site gaining traction with country folkCentral Valley users find FarmersOnly.com

are provided along with information. One recent example is cowgirl415565 in Lemoore:

“My name is Lisa and I am originally from a small town in Texas. I grew up with cotton fields, horses, cattle and small town values. I am a high school English teacher and I love my job! It is the joy of my life. My family is my rock and everything I do involves them. I grew up with a dad who served in Vietnam, cowboyed on the Pitchfork ranch in Northern Texas. My mother is a constable and also grows fruits, vegetables, and poultry on organic open range farm. I am looking for someone who I can relate to and spend my life with, someone with similar interests and upbringing. Hope you are out there!”

The site includes a photo of Lisa and information about the kind of person she is looking for.

FarmersOnly.com also has a Facebook page where Michael Gomes of Clovis praised the dating site for being much better than the others. “I met my better half on Farmers Only and never saw a commercial until after,” he commented.

Miller, who operated an ad agency, said he designed the site to be easy and fun to visit.

He got the idea for the dating site from a female client who had just been divorced. He suggested that the client put a profile up on a major dating site.

She did so, but was disappointed. Asked how the dating site was working out, the client responded that she wasn’t meeting country-oriented people. “These guys just don’t relate at all,” she said.

In addition, Miller had inquiries from farmers from all over the country about how to meet people when you live in small rural areas. Some farmers traveled to big city singles parties only to be disappointed by people puzzled by why farmers were there.

“I saw a serious need,”

Miller said. So he formed FarmersOnly.com.

“I had no idea what I was doing,” Miller added. “And it is hard to start a dating site without any members.” Soon he put out fliers and slowly the business began to pick up.

But it was the media that really gave Miller a boost. “A small farm publication did a story on FarmersOnly.com and all of a sudden News Week magazine was calling,” Miller said.

That was followed by calls from the Associated Press, TV stations and USA Today. Miller found himself swamped by 1,400 requests for interviews in one week.

He was even mentioned in the 2014 Farmer’s Almanac.

Soon his FarmersOnly.com membership numbers exploded.

“It was like building a restaurant good enough to seat 100 people and 10,000 people show up for dinner,” Miller said.

Now he had to develop a state-of-the-art dating site that could handle thousands of new members and make it easy to contact others. But most of the investment was in making the site usable on mobile devices.

“Smart phones have grown so much,” Miller said.

With improved technology, interest in the FarmersOnly.com website has grown substantially. About 1 million people have filled out profiles.

Approximately 42,000 people visit the site each day. FarmersOnly.com has more than 200 subscribers.

Putting up a profile is free. Paid memberships allow visitors to communicate back and forth.

Miller said the site has resulted in many farmer weddings. The result is a lot of new farm families and fewer lonely farmers.

“Loneliness is a serious problem,” he said. “But I wanted to put some fun in getting the message out.”

FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2014 www.thebusinessjournal.com 9The Profile

Owner and chief strategist

Paprika Studios, LLC

What we do: Online strategy and communication, website and email campaign development

Education: B.A. in Communication Studies from University of North Carolina, Greensboro; M.A. in Leadership & Organizational Studios from Fresno Pacific University Age: 31

How did you come to establish Paprika Studios?I started learning how to use online tools and build websites to carry out my own ideas — one of those being TasteFresno, which has grown into a large community of local foodies. That led to freelance projects, which led to more ideas. With the rise of social media several years back, I realized there was a need for helping businesses and community organizations navigate the web’s ever-evolving communication channels, so I created Paprika Studios.

What were you doing before that?I was in fundraising — for Fresno Pacific University, and for Community Food Bank before that.

What sparked your interest in web marketing?It started with an idea of how to use the web for connecting people with a shared interest in local food. With each project I took on, I realized more of the web’s potential, and I was hooked.

You’re the driving force behind such promotions as the Frebby Awards, TasteFresno and the Best Locally Owned Business (BLOB) awards. What do all of these have in common?Collaboration, a celebration of what’s found in Fresno, and a desire to help grow our creative assets.

Many of the ideas start with me, but they’re executed by our team in partnership with other businesses and community organizations. The BLOB Awards are different, though — that project started with the Fresno Regional Independent Alliance (with which I’ve also been involved).

What other local efforts or groups are you involved in?I’ve served on the board for Creative Fresno, am a past president of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, and currently serve on boards for HandsOn Central California and Slow Food Madera.

What would you say Fresno has going for it in terms of its creative web and marketing community as well as education in those fields?There are creative professionals here that are dedicated to constantly being better — at design, at communication, at utilizing the evolving set of tools the web offers. And that community is growing; as it grows, we collaborate, and we challenge each other.

Is there still a place for print marketing and how can it stay viable as the Internet becomes ever more useful?Of course there is! Print is tactile—no matter how engaged we feel online, we can’t touch the Internet, so our experiences and interactions with online information are different than they are in print.

I’d be a rich man if I could outline a path for print’s long-term viability, but as with most things, I’m sure the answer lies in understanding the differences between print and the web, and in emphasizing those differences.

What are some key components that every business’ website should contain to make the most impact on their audience? This may change, depending on the nature of the business, but almost any website should answer common questions from a customer or consumer: What services are being provided to meet that customer’s needs? What expertise does the business offer? Perhaps most importantly, how does an interested or existing customer get in touch?

Besides being an avid blogger, you’re also a photographer. How did you get into that and why?I’ve had an interest in photography since childhood, but started really exploring it when I began sharing food experiences; a photo shows off a good meal much more than words can describe. I still take pictures of food, but have broadened my photographic interests, and look for ways to tell stories through photographs.

What three words best describe you? Tenacious, independent and crazy…I mean creative.

What was your first job and what did you learn from it?I started my first unofficial job working under the table for a carpenter, helping with various construction projects. He skipped town and abandoned his customers, teaching me a valuable lesson in integrity.

What are your roots in the San Joaquin Valley?I moved here a few weeks after I finished my bachelor’s degree. One relationship led to another, and I picked up a temporary gig, which then turned into a fulltime position at Community Food Bank. That’s where my interest in the valley’s food culture really began.

What do you do in your spare time? What spare time? Ha!

Honestly, when I’m not working, I’m either working on a photo project or crafting a new idea.

we have growers that are interested in trying new technologies. We re-ally have the perfect ecosystem for these technologies.”

Several members have already had their first round of successes, including Nautilus Systems, design-er of a soil monitoring system for farmers.

Started up by Dominic Farinelli and his dad John, a grape farmer and installer of irrigation systems, the year-old venture landed $300,000 in investor money through WET Cen-ter connections to develop their ir-rigation control and real-time mois-ture and temperature monitoring device.

“They really helped us in the be-ginning with business planning and putting together something that would look good to investors,” Fari-nelli said. “They helped connect us with different people in the indus-try.”

Nautilus Systems is now getting ready to sell its first devices to a few customers in Arroyo Grande and Tulare, marketing the system at half to a quarter of the retail price of its next closest competitors.

BioFiltro, a Chile-based company working out of the WET Center’s incubator program, has also thrived since joining the WET Center last August by starting up three pilot projects experimenting with earth-worms to convert nitrates and other contaminates in water into benefi-cial fertilizer.

The small facilities are now un-dergoing testing at Tomatek tomato processing plant, the City of Fire-baugh’s wastewater treatment plant and Fresno State’s dairy.

BilFiltro’s Chief Marketing Of-ficer Sanjar Taromi said full-scale projects should be ready to build after no more than a few years of testing, providing customers with a low-cost method of ridding contam-inants while also improving water efficiency compared to extended aeration and other water treatment technologies.

“The WET Centers has been a lot of help exposing us to the com-munity and being able to be right across the street from Fresno State

dairy helps,” said Tomari, 24. “Both the wet and Frenso EDC have been pivotal in securing these projects for us.”

OnFarm Systems, which inte-grates a network of different tech-nologies and data to meet growers’ needs, won the 2013 IBM Smart-Camp competition’s North Ameri-can regional finals held in Silicon Valley last September, beating out four other entrepreneurs across the country for a chance at winning on the global stage in February.

AquaCue, a company that devel-ops water use management technol-ogy, was acquired by Badger Meter of Wisconsin for $14 million, while C3 Consulting, a crop science soft-ware firm promoting sustainable farming methods, was acquired by Trimble Navigation of Sunnyvale, Calif.

Mendota Bioenergy was awarded a $4.9 million grant from the Cali-fornia Energy Commission last March to support the design, con-struction and operation of a pilot-scale biorefinery in the Mendota area using some 10,000 tons of sug-ar beets to make biofuel ethanol.

Other helpful services, contacts and profiles of other members can be found at the WET Center’s web-site at www.wetcenter.org.

In all, WET Center members col-lectively raised around $7 million in capital last year and created 26 jobs.

Petersen those successes go a long way in promoting the conglomera-tion of water technology companies known as the Blue Tech Valley that comes together to share innovations that improve water quality and ef-ficiency while also growing busi-nesses and jobs in the San Joaquin Valley.

“We’re going to put a lot of em-phases on that in 2014 with the con-ference and really put ourselves on the map,” Petersen said. “The Blue Tech Valley is moving far ahead of any other water cluster because we have the perfect ecosystem, we have the industry, the WET incuba-tor and we have a lot of components that makes us unique.”

NBS Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 07/31/2009 as Document No.: 2009-0106453, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Fresno County, California, executed by: RYAN SCOTT JONES AND REBEKAH GRIECO SHAPIRO-JONES, HUSBAND AND WIFE, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust.

Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult

either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 1-800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee`s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.auction.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9985-6758. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

26 www.thebusinessjournal.com FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2014

It is good to see Gov. Jerry Brown making a stop in Fresno, as he did this week to meet with local

education, business and community leaders about his budget proposal. It doesn’t seem like the Governor makes it to this neck of the woods enough, but it might be unfair to compare him to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who made the Central Valley a favor-ite and frequent stop.

It’s almost certain Brown got an ear full on two hot-button topics that also happen to be a growing part of his legacy — high-speed rail and water. Local farmers descended on Sacramento Thursday to bring awareness to the state’s water crisis

and drum up support for the 2014 water bond. They are asking Brown to declare a drought emergency, a move he says he is imminent. It can’t come soon enough.

A proposal to use $250 million from the state’s cap-and-trade carbon credit auctions to help fund high-speed rail must have come up as well. Of everything in his proposed budget, this rubs us the wrong way. Cap and trade was never a popular program with our state’s manufacturers, but now that they are in the program,

their money should go to proven methods of reducing emissions.

It shouldn’t be selfish for Central Valley residents to insist on their fair share, as we have the worst air

in the state. The nonpar-tisan Legisla-tive Analyst’s Office has said the proposal is “legally risky”

and “likely would not maximize the reduction” of greenhouse gas emis-sions.

That’s bad news for the Valley. And it’s not like we get the most benefit from the system — we are

the stretch of rail where they hope to reach their maximum speeds. It remains to be seen how many of those trains stop to pick us up.

Separate of that issue, we com-mend Brown for showing some restraint facing a revenue surplus. Many Governors before him took that as carte blanche to spend. Brown instead wants to pay down debt and set aside $1.6 billion as a rainy day fund.

Twice in the past 15 years, Califor-nia has enjoyed a budget boom fol-lowed by a revenue crash resulting in deficits as far as the eye can see.

Maybe the third time can be a charm.

For the home-based business, in-person meetings can be a chal-lenge. Go to the client’s office? Convene at a coffee shop? Meet at a virtual office? All are viable options, but sometimes the client wants or needs to see you in your own space.

How to host a business meeting at home? There are the obvious things: Tuck away the kids and pets. Clean up the clutter. Beyond these, a more nuanced approach can help to set a professional tone and ultimately drive a successful meeting — all without leaving the house.

1. Marshall your resources.Not every home is equipped to

meet the needs of a contemporary meeting. Having enough chairs is a no-brainer, but you’ll also need the proper equipment, says Leslie Yerkes of The Catalyst Consulting Group in Cleveland. Your gather-ing may require a white board, projec-tor and screen — all the appropriate A/V connections to get that PowerPoint off the laptop and in front of your guests.

2. Stay on task.You recognize this place as an

office. You work here every day, after all. But your business associ-ates may not see it that way. To them, home may feel a little too much like home. To maintain a professional environment, “keep your encounter organized and with specific goals or an agenda in mind,” says Ryan Fleming, co-founder of live-calling ser-vice RemindGrams.com in Long Beach, California. By handing out a written agenda at the start and then staying on topic, you’ll communicate that this is a pro-fessional gathering and not just a living-room chat.

3. Set the expectation.Sometimes a modest fee will

serve to remind people that this isn’t going to be like a boardroom conclave. Milo Shapiro, a speak-ing coach with IMPROVentures, will come to your office for a set fee. He will meet in an office space near his home for $70 less, or he’ll offer a get-together in his home for $100 off the base price. For those who jump at the lowest price, he gets to say: “That’s fine, but just so you understand, it is my living room. So there could be camping gear, suitcases or what-ever. Putting up with that is the price you pay for saving the extra money.” By setting the expecta-tions like this, he rarely has to do more than a little straightening.

4. Keep it indoors.Depending on your climate, it

can be a major temptation to take the meeting onto the patio. This

avoids the issues of toys under foot, dust on the lintel and dubious cooking smells. But an open-air meeting can have

its downsides, too. “We’ve actu-ally attended a meeting on a patio, and, while the pet was put away, there was dog feces all around the space. Not great!” says Greg Jenkins, a partner with event-pro-duction firm Bravo Productions in Long Beach, California. The back deck may seem inviting, but the rules remain the same as indoors: Make sure it is presentable and professional before opening the sliders.

5. Silence the ring.Our phones are such a part of

our lives that it’s easy to forget how much of a distraction they can be. Even if we’re used to silencing the mobile device in an office meeting, it’s easy to forget

WEB POLL

Grocery and food delivery services are nothing new, but more and more Internet-based companies are entering the space. They follow on the heels of AmazonFresh, which expanded its grocery service to Los Angeles last summer — its first major market outside of Amazon’s home base of Seattle. Forty six percent of respondents to this week’s Web poll would consider Internet services for food delivery, while an equal amount — 27 percent — already use such services or would not even consider it. One hundred ninety-five votes were cast.

the old-fashioned home phone. “Turn off the landline,” says Aron Susman, co-founder of real estate search site TheSquareFoot.com in New York City. “No need to get personal calls during a meeting, plus if you use an old-school an-swering machine, those messages

could be more than you would want other professionals to hear.”

Founded in 1943, and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, the National Federation of Independent Busi-ness is America’s leading small-busi-ness advocacy association.
