If you live in the GTA than it's essential to that you get a copy of the 2012 Funclips coupon book. These books are filled with coupons for restaurants, entertainment places, automotive service centers and more. Each book contains different coupons. For example the Barrie coupon book features several golf coupons, while the Toronto coupon book has more restaurant coupons in it.
This year when updating the coupon book Franz the owner of Funclips had a unique idea to have a oval shaped deal image that would have the coupon detail information in the title tag. This means that all a potential customer would have to do is just hover over the deal image to see the coupon offer. I think it's a brilliant way to avoid making the customer have to scroll down to the bottom of the webpage to read the additional coupon information. It will be interesting to see how this affects sales.

New Website Launched
We just launched a website for my mom's mobile hair styling business. One thing I've learned from being the Forest City Surplus Webmaster is the more unique a product the better the results seem to be from having the product on the Internet. I'm hoping that my mother's unique service of providing mobile hair styling to seniors in the comfort of their own home will benefit out of town relatives who are trying to find a hair stylist for their relative in London. You can view the website at http://www.mobilehairstyling.ca

What I Learned from Running in the Election
As many of you know I decided back in the spring to step down from the CIPS London Section presidency to run for the MPP position in the 2011 Ontario general election.
I learned quite a bit from the experience and have to say that I feel improved by going through the exercise. I'm amazed at how my writing skills improved as I filled out the numerous surveys and prepared answers for potential debate questions. By the end of the election believe I was at the point where it was getting pretty difficult for me to get stumped on any question from reporter or constituent.
The entire experience gave me a chance to get to know London better. For instance I was surprised to find out going to White Hills that the LCBO and The Beer Store on some nights aren't open that late. On Mondays both are closed by 6 pm. On Tuesday and Wednesday the LCBO store is closed by 6 pm. as most retail operations are open on Sunday, I was surprised to find out that the White Hills LCBO was closed that day. In talking with White Hills residents it was easy to garner support towards Freedom Party's plan for allowing the Sherwood Forest Mall Metro (or any other grocery store in Ontario) to be granted the ability to sell beer, wine, and spirits. As this is my first time running in London-West I made a point of making sure I went to all the different neighborhoods on my door knocking adventures. I was surprised to find that the neighbourhoods of Oakridge, White Hills, Westmount, Byron, Old South, Southcrest, and River Bend each had a different feel to them. Doing the door knocking reminded me of my days as a door-to-door salesman back when I was in high school and how much I miss meeting with people at their homes.
The experience of going through the debates did wonders for sharpening my mental skills in getting me to be able to answer quickly on my feet. During this experience I had my first opportunity to be on television. It was an interesting experience being in the Rogers TV studio. I was surprised by the soundproof environment and the lack of feedback one experiences when being on TV. I see why many TV shows are still made with studio audiences as not getting the feedback to your words is an unusual experience. Even the small details amazed me. As the debate was filmed without any commercial breaks I found it interesting that the camera operator remained completely silent during the hour long production.
For the past few weeks I have been returning my focus back to my clients' Link 2 Realty and Funclips coupons. I will also be working on expanding my operations so that after mid-November I will be accepting new clients for my Internet marketing consultancy.
