Dunky Cup #Review #HGG18

2018 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this review. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

If you have young children (even older ones) on your gift list, Then you need to read about the Dunky Cup below~

About The Product~

There’s something comforting about dunking a cookie in milk. It’s an indulgence that takes something sweet and delicious and turns it into something even better. As a child, my first experience with cookies and milk involved vanilla wafers. Grandma would give us these as a snack, but I remember thinking they were a little on the dry side. That’s when grandpa introduced me to dunking and I was immediately in cookie heaven. Later I would branch out to other cookies such as Oreos, which eventually became my favorite.​

Founded in 2016, Dunky Cup was spawned from these fond childhood memories and the founder’s love for engineering and Oreos. While sitting on the couch, munching on some Oreos and milk, there was a moment of inspiration to “ditch the plate.” After all, the crumbs like to slide off anyhow; why not bring them together? At this point, the idea and design began to evolve.  It was pen to paper, mouse to mousepad, sketching various ideas until Dunky Cup was born.

Since 2016 we’ve continually improved the product which you’ll find is super-durable, dishwasher safe, and made from high-quality food-safe plastic. Unlike other plastic products, Dunky Cup has weight and strength, giving it the feel of a high-quality ceramic mug.

My Thoughts/Review~

I agree with the above that there is something comforting about dunking a cookie in milk. I think it all comes down to childhood memories. When I took the Dunky Cup out of the package, I could not wait to show my kids what dunking a cookie in milk was all about. I know they were sold on the concept with that first dunk. The smiles and giggling from my kids put a smile on my face in that my kids are actually getting enjoyment from childhood activities that I did as a child. I’ll tell you a secret- I still dunk a cookie in milk.

I give the Dunky Cup my thumbs up and my highest recommendation. You could order one for yourself, Your kids, That special person who is a kid at heart or really anyone on your Holiday gift list by going HERE.

My Thoughts/ Review~

My cats just turned 10 and my husband has said for a while now that he wants to give them a bath. Now when I hear the word bath, I think of a tub, water and a lot of  scratches. I was thrilled when I received Quick Bath because I never knew their was an alternative to the conventional bath for pets.

Quick Bath wipes are formulated with effective cleaners that remove bacteria and odors from your pets skin. Quick Bath wipes contain Vitamins A & E and Aloe Vera which promotes an overall healthy skin and coat while leaving your pet clean and shiny. Quick Bath wipes are pH neutral and alcohol free.

  • Cleans and reduces Odor & Bacteria
  • Perfect for Cats that are difficult to clean or Elderly
  • Great for in–between baths
  • EXTRA THICK & heavy duty Wipes
  • Super Absorbant
  • Easy, safe and effective to use daily

Now it says “great for in-between baths” but if this is the only way you can bath your cat without the frustration of the conventional way at least it can be a game changer. My cats did not put up a fight at all when we bathed them this way. I thought the slight smell was actually soothing to me and my cats. They just laid on Eric’s lap and seemed to enjoy it.  If you know of any pet owners, This would make the perfect Holiday gift for any pet owner as this also comes in a wipe for dogs and even a tushee wipe.

I give the Quick Bath my highest recommendation and my thumbs up. You can go HERE to buy some for yourself or that special furry friend on your gift list.

How to Lead a More Targeted SEM Strategy

Reviews · 

No matter whether you are the head of a large business or a small business based from your kitchen table, you are united in your quest for increasing sales, and getting visitors to your website.

Search engine marketing, or SEM as it is known, is critical for your business’ success and can help drive your business towards achieving your goals. SEM helps your targeted audience to find your business, which means that their interest in the products or services that you offer is already qualified. You are not cold-calling. You are attracting people who have already shown a serious interest in your offerings by clicking through the advert.

So, how can you refine your SEM strategy to make it more effective and relevant to your target audience?

Keywords

Once upon a time, direct keyword matches were enough to trigger a response; however, since the Google algorithm update of 2016, the search engine can now discern the user intent from the search that is made and will suggest pages related from the topic. It is mind-boggling but true. So rather than focusing all your efforts on sole keywords, you need to mix it up. Identify short-tail and long-tail keywords that will broaden your page’s reach.

Research, Analyze and Respond

It takes time to research the best keyword combinations, and it will require a degree of trial and error until you hit the right spot. Always pay attention to the keyword metrics and adjust one at a time so that you can identify which tweaks are effective. If you don’t have the time, patience or skill to work methodically through the process, it is a good idea to hire experts to handle this process for you. Eventige.com is a Forbes recommended Top 100 Global Marketing Agency who will take the strain and optimize the opportunity.

Landing Page

By default, you may automatically send visitors to your home page. However, this is often just too generic and will mean that visitors are not provided with the information that they were expecting. Create a bespoke landing page for the advert. This way, you can keep visitors engaged with the product or services that you are offering. Bad landing page choices not only increase the bounce rate but lessen the Ad Quality score which makes your SEM campaign a more expensive option for you.

Relevancy and consistency are crucial to the success of your SEM campaign, so by making your landing page compatible to your advert, you are enhancing the user experience.

Your SEM strategy does not have to be overly complex, but what it does have to be is well researched and orchestrated. By investing time and analyzing the metrics that you have available to you, you can develop a campaign that gives you a fantastic return on your investment. You will be able to gain valuable insights into what triggers your target customers which can be used to shape and give direction to future campaigns.

How To Help A Loved One In The Hospital

Reviews · 

It can be a difficult time when you have a friend or family member in the hospital. In addition to the obvious health concerns, there will also be a tremendous amount of stress, anxiety and practical issues that make this a challenging time. It can be hard to know how to help someone when they are spending time in the hospital, especially if you find it difficult to visit them. A good friend will always be able to find ways to help no matter how big or small the gesture, and the following are just a few different ways that you will be able to help someone.

  1. Visiting

Obviously, one of the best things that you can do is to visit the person when you are allowed (but always check ahead before visiting). You should spend this time listening to their concerns and making sure that they are well cared for, but they may also want to take their mind off of their health issues so do not shy away from talking about yourself or what is happening outside of the hospital. Bring gifts, such as:

  • Their favorite flowers
  • Books, magazines and newspapers
  • Any hobby-related gifts that they can do in the hospital such as knitting
  • Spa treatments
  1. Handling Matters At Home

The person in the hospital should be focused purely on their own health and not have to worry about their life outside the hospital. This means that it can be of great help to handle aspects such as notifying their employer and keeping them up to date, picking the kids up from school and looking after them, feeding pets, watering plants, keeping in touch with friends and family, etc. Be sure to ask them if there is anything that you can do to help when you visit.

  1. Make Sure They Are Getting Proper Care

Most hospitals have excellent levels of care, but they are not infallible, and mistakes can easily be made. It can be difficult when you are a patient and unwell, which is why a good friend needs to make sure that they are getting the care that they need and that there has been no negligence. If there have been mistakes or a lack of care that lead to injuries, then you can make an injuries claim, and they could receive compensation. Making sure that they are getting proper care will involve attending appointments with them, keeping a running log of medication, meals, and checkups.

  1. Plan For Their Return

A great friend will also think about ways that they can help when the person is discharged. This might involve picking them up from the hospital, tidying the home and preparing it for their recovery, picking up groceries and offering to help with their daily chores until they are back on their feet. Other ways to help them include:

  • Stocking up the fridge for them
  • Moving furniture (if they agree to it) so that everything is within reach
  • Preparing the bedroom
  • Helping them settle in

Nobody likes to spend time in the hospital, and it can be upsetting to see a loved one having to spend time there. These are a few ideas for how you can help your friend during their time of need and help to reduce stress so that they can focus on getting better.
