Reputation is everything. What motivates you? I only really work at my best when I have a target in mind or a deadline. From day 1 of opening it was engrained. I need reviews and I need to be the best. Reviews create customers, customers create reviews and it's a fantastic circle of growth. The highest rated checklist: Cotswold Water Park ✅️ Wiltshire & Gloucestershire ✅️ Archery Venue in the UK ✅️ Outdoor Activity Venue in the UK ✅️ Tripadvisor is a fantastic platform and something that I use myself when researching or visiting an area. I love it, use it and I need it for business but it has its flaws. Is the Cotswold Range the best in the UK? Well yes and no... It only ranks on regions/towns/cities and every year it has its best of the best rankings and...we never make the list. A speedboat ride in London with 100 reviews will though. Any communication with TripAdvisor will cite the algorithm and good luck next year. The one common theme between the best of the best and ourselves? We don't work direct with Trip Advisor and allow their visitors to book a session through their site. Giving Trip Advisor a paid commission... We out perform every attraction in terms of quantity and quality and that's our trophy 🏆 Next target. Desperate to get to 2000 reviews. Keep going

One of the things that has made SocialHub® so successful is we have taken one of the MOST stressful thing OFF on-site teams--resident events. This not only allows teams to spend more time focusing on customer service and resident needs (not to mention renting apartments), but is proven to be a driving factor for resident AND staff retention. With rent rates continuing to soften and the talent pool shrinking, what do your on-site teams need to be laser-focused on in 2024? What stress-factors do you need to alleviate to make them more effective? DM me today to discover how SocialHub®️can help take the burden off on-site teams while increasing the resident experience, driving retention, and retaining happy, motivated staff members. If you are a client, feel free to share your experience with us below. How have you seen on-site teams be more effective in their role by outsourcing resident events to SocialHub? #BusinessIsHuman #lifeoftheparty #multifamilyhousing #apartmentliving #apartmentlife #residentevents #multifamilyhousing #lovewhereyoulive #residentengagement #propertymanagement

“You can tek us out of Bradford, but you can’t tek the Bradford out of us.” As I start my Place Branding studies in what goes for my spare time over the next 2 years, I can’t resist applying my learning to the place where my own identity is rooted -albeit shallowly. Bradford also has a busy two years ahead as it prepares to be in the spotlight as Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture. In searching around for what the City of Culture status can offer its residents and perhaps help solidify “brand Bradford”, I came across this celebratory video narrated in her own words by local poet and educator Kirsty Taylor. I find the vídeo refreshing for capturing something of a warts and all perspective that rings true for what I know of the city’s self-identity and external image. It makes a bold, early contribution as part of the official build-up to 2025. The video’s premise that we carry our hometown identity with us, is true for many cities. We can also in part be personally pre-judged by a place’s popularised image. In the build-up to 2025, I’ll be watching for how this fleeting 12 months can contribute to creating a unifying brand for the city that captures its authentic identity and perhaps updates its external image in a lasting way. As the Bradford Council’s imaginative Cultural Strategy expresses it, “Part of what we’re doing with Bradford 2025 is to make sure when we ‘speak Bradford’ to the wider world, it feels like the Bradford people actually live in”. #bradford #westyorkshire #citycentre #cities #placebranding #placemaking #culture #heritage #cityofculture

Thank you to Aaron Z. Lewis -- steward of Temperance Alley Garden -- for speaking to the GA HQ this week about your study of time, reconnecting to natural clocks, and reconnecting to spaces by understanding our place in their life cycle. As the founder of a tech company, I translate most teachings into the "tech" framework. A few ideas inspired by Aaron: 1. We should do a better job explaining to people the company's timeline and their place in history -- I think understanding time context in a company is important. 2. I realize many of GA employee's fondest memories connect to monthly and annual traditions -- St Patrick's Day Shamrock Madness, etc. We need more clockwork events.  3. I think buying a little hourglass to help us complete tasks within a certain time frame is great. Checking your phone and computer clocks = distractions. I am always so inspired by Aaron and his work -- he is one of the great community builders in DC. If any of you have not been to Temperance Alley Garden, I encourage you to check out the event schedule (https://lnkd.in/gqbwBUfe) and stop by! 

Thinking about moving to Pasadena, California, and wondering about some of the different areas? Here's a quick overview of 10 areas to consider in Pasadena. Pasadena is much more than a Parade and a Football game. It's one of the best places to live in LA. #realestate #pasadena #pasadenarealestate #losangelesrealestate #douglaselliman https://lnkd.in/dJRTHUuw
