Great to have a small-town newspaper, but sadly the editorial is run by its major advertisers,…read moretherefore, articles are biased. The recall of council member/vice mayor Herb Perez is a blatant example. Editions with op eds against recall are available in stacks well beyond the published date, while the editions for recall are hard to find even the day of. While dirty politics could be in play (some nefarious person pulling papers from Safeway and Lucky's), I think not as the stacks of pro Perez editions are available well beyond the publication date suggests more were printed than normal. And, the "online" version is very poor quality. Low res PDF which is hard to read. A paper with bias towards advertisers is not worth the paper it is printed on. Also, Mark Watson, part owner of paper is the attorney for Perez. And, Watson is on the city's audit committee chosen over someone more qualified. Cronies flock together and really this city is not the better for it.

For someone like me who has never…read morehad to register the Business Name with a newspaper she is by far the worse person I spoke to out of 4 newspapers. She hates her job and takes it out on potential customers. I called 4 different newspapers and she had the worst customer service out of anyone, and I'm trying to give her my money. At one point she said she could care less whether or not I went with this newspaper to post it and claimed she was the cheapest, which was not true. Honestly I have never talked to anyone who was so rude within a minute of talking to them. She pointed out how she doesn't get paid much so she leaves early, arrives late. This is the type of person she is, she hates her job so she could care less about helping you. Filing your Business Name with a newspaper is something everyone who wants a business license has to do but it seemed like filing with the Foster City Islander was a hassle for them. So i went with the Daily Journal in San Mateo, the person there treated me like a normal person treats other people and took care of me right away. If you have to file your name with a newspaper don't do it with Foster City. The woman working there is just a bad person, if that's the way she talks to potential customers I hate to see how she talks to people she actually hates.

I called for rates in registering a fictitious business name as I registered a business name in San…read moreMateo online a couple of days ago. The legality is that we need to advertising the business name within 30 days in a general circulation newspaper distributed in San Mateo County; the advertisement must be published once a week for four successive weeks. I thought I should take action immediately by calling for pricing. I spoke to Gail who was very helpful in giving me information. This is rare for someone who answers a main phone number line which is why I'm giving 5 stars. Here is the info: * It costs $40 for 4 weeks if I'm a single filer with a single business name; if there are more filers and more business names then it is $8 extra for each. * I should receive 3 forms in the mail from San Mateo county. 1 for the newspaper for filing the fictitious business name, 1 for the bank in starting an account and I believe 1 for my records. Once I receive the form for the newspaper, I send or fax it in to the newspaper, they will take the info from the form, create and publish a fictitious business name statement.

I LOVE this paper…read more I've always preferred it to its competitor, SM Daily News, because the Daily Journal has a much better format, style, and color photos! It's just designed well. One of my favorite aspects of the paper is the "Know it All" section on the first page inside--it's awesome trivia facts and I always learn cool stuff. It reminds me of the Chronicle's "Grab Bag" except the Daily Journal has a theme with the section. I look forward to it each time I read the paper! The DJ website is good, too. I've advertised in the classifieds with this paper, and not only did they suggest a better way to format my ad (it looked so much better with their suggestion) but I did get new business, thanks to them. The paper is a frequent supporter and contributer to local events and organizations, which is wonderful. They are a paper for the Peninsula, and they support their community. Gale in the office is awesome..she has the cutest Rhode Island accent.

The best and only way to charge a premium above fair market value is to focus on lifestyle. Good listings sell homes. Excellent listings sell lifestyle. To rise above the crucible of competition, our listing photography must reach beyond professional grade, and be truly epic. We need to reach Buyers viscerally, and every detail matters. Going on 20 years in this industry, I have rarely come across another outfit who grasps this as fully as Aerial Canvas. When Aerial Canvas came to our market, I was instantly struck by their amazing talent pool. They hire best-of-breed photographers, drone pilots, 3D tour experts, film editors, web developers, and production managers, etc. They are so far ahead of the competition, their work shines like a beacon. Beyond shooting inspired photography, with great lighting, angles, equipment, and style... Aerial Canvas also delivers a complete set of media deliverables that add value to my presentation, including a turnkey, property-specific, consumer-facing website. The site is organized so elegantly, and so powerfully, that I can confidently send it to anyone, for any use-case, and trust with 100% confidence that they will be wowed. Their back-end services are friendly, intuitive, instructive, and always available. Virtually no tech knowledge is required to edit the site by myself. And it even comes with analytics I can show clients that measure my impact. I cannot recommend Aerial Canvas highly enough. If you are looking to build your brand, let these guys take your business to the next level.

I want our prospective clients to feel like the studio is an extension to their home. It's' not just a gym. It's a feeling. Now that my studio is complete I thought it would be a great time to capture its energy. I have taken many photos in which I have posted on social media for the world to see but since I am not equipped with the proper equipment I can't highlight the things I want highlighted. Such as a virtual tour of my studio and aerial photos. Its a fact that today we live in a mobile world therefore many prospects do a lot more of their shopping online then they did in the past. For this reason I reached out to Aerial Canvas. I initially was interviewed by Adrian who is probably the best example of customer service I have ever come across. Adrian introduced me to Colby. We started by talking about my business; who we are, what we're all about, and why I'm so excited to do this photo shoot. We discuss the look I'm hoping to achieve, shots I would like to be highlighted, drone footage, the works. Then we worked on a shot list; Colby suggested I create a Pinterest board to share with him or to simply share photos/videos that inspire me from Instagram. We talked about everything I would need to feel completely confident that he had a great sense of what I wanted the day of your shoot.  The virtual tour and aerial photography Colby did for me allows my prospective clients to visually respond to what they see in my location. Some fall in love with the high ceilings and space, some fall in love with the line of equipment we have while others may fall in love with the mere fact that we have a clean bathroom with a shower. Let's face it, sometimes hiring a pro is just the right thing to do. If you'd like to save yourself some time and maybe even money, consider hiring a professional photographer like Colby from Aerial Canvas to come in and knockout your photos. He's attentive to detail, has professional's eye, and easy to work with. Best of all, it's one less thing you will need to do. FIT SF Personal Training San Mateo
