Talking Information Center’s Wine Dinner Fundraiser A Tremendous Success

November 30, 2016 //  by admin

With 136 guests in attendance and contributions from over 100 businesses, institutions and individuals, the Talking Information Center’s (TIC) 24th Annual Wine Dinner Fundraiser held at The Barker Tavern in Scituate, was a tremendous success.

The non-profit reading service broadcasts from their Marshfield studio, 24-hours a day to thousands of visually impaired and otherwise print disabled listeners and relies on the generosity of donors, sponsors and volunteers to support their programming. The Annual Wine Dinner event, which is TIC’s major fundraiser, raised a net of $34K, a 48 percent increase over last year’s event.

“For over 38 years there have been thousands of blind and visually impaired individuals who have relied on TIC to keep them connected and informed on news and other critical information they need on a daily basis. Today, with the collaboration of five other State Reading Service studios and over 600 volunteers, we are delivering unique programs to a vast print impaired audience of all ages and disabilities,” said Jim Bunnell, Executive Director. “We are very grateful to all of our supporters, as the success of our Annual Wine Dinner is essential to the continuity and expansion of our programming.”

Dr. Oce Harrison, Ed.D, Project Director of the New England ADA Center at the Institute for Human Centered Design in Boston, Brian Switzer from Team with a Vision, State Representative Jim Cantwell, and Collin Ryder of Masciarelli Wine Company were the evening’s featured speakers. A silent auction, “Buy It Now” table and Ring Bling raffle was followed by a spirited live auction with auctioneer Paul Vercollone. Guests enjoyed a decadent four course meal, with a Filet Mignon main course, created specifically for this event by head chef George Jordan. Each course was perfectly paired with wine generously donated by Masciarelli Wine Company.

TIC would like to thank the following: The Emilson Family as title sponsor; Sheriff Joe McDonald, Emerson-Swan, Inc., VERC Enterprises, The Clifford Family, Rockland Trust, Gilcoine & Burke Insurance Agency, Commonwealth Cooperative Bank and Tiny & Sons Auto Glass as table sponsors; Mike and Darlene Kelly, Charles David Salons and South Shore Senior News as benefactor sponsors.

TIC also thanks special donors Fred Williams, Inc., The Whalen Company, The Barker Tavern, Masciarelli Wine Company, Bond Printing Company, WATD, Jeff and Linda Dirksen, Bellestar Jewelry and Carol McClintock, along with their network affiliates in Mashpee, Pittsfield, Lowell, Springfield and Worcester and their incredible Board members.

All proceeds from the Annual Wine Dinner directly benefit TIC, which serves the listening needs of thousands of visually impaired and otherwise print disabled listeners throughout Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire and Connecticut through its network affiliates in Mashpee, Pittsfield, Lowell, Springfield and Worcester.

“We received a lot of positive feedback and many in attendance had never attended a TIC event before or knew very little about our services and programming,” Bunnell continued. “Thank you to everyone who made TIC’s 24th Annual Wine Dinner Fundraiser a tremendous success! Guests, sponsors, donors, board members and volunteers – we simply couldn’t have done it without you.”

Reaching New Audiences

According to the National Federation of the Blind, 136,500 people of all ages in Massachusetts reported to have a visual disability in 2013. Two out of three aging Americans confront vision loss. Others who experience vision problems are living with AIDS, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, paralysis and other physical ailments that make it difficult to hold a publication or turn its pages. Approximately 10,000 people turn 65 every day in the U.S. and in Massachusetts, 34 percent of people with disabilities are 65 and older.

TIC has thousands of blind/visually impaired listeners statewide, yet there is a broader audience who can benefit. There are a growing number of seniors and veterans seeking informational, entertaining broadcasts that just aren’t available elsewhere, and that’s where TIC comes in.

The Hub of the Massachusetts Reading Network

TIC is a proud member of the International Association of Audible Information Services (IAAIS), and is the hub of the Massachusetts Reading Network, broadcasting to all of Massachusetts as well as southern New Hampshire and Connecticut. TIC operates with the help of more than 600 volunteers statewide, broadcasting newspapers, magazines, books, special consumer information, medical and stock market updates, jobs, sports, supermarket specials, voting guides, community newspapers, and television programs. TIC also offers cultural programming such as old-time radio drama, theater, and poetry. Two of TIC’s newest shows include Veterans Voice Radio and Veterans Voice Story Hour, which are specifically geared toward military veterans and their families.

TIC programming may be accessed several ways: via live audio stream at http://www.ticnetwork.org; by utilizing a specially tuned radio receiver; through AudioNow by calling 712-832-7025 from a home or cell phone; or by smartphone app. Listeners with smartphones may download the free TIC app by typing “Talking Information Center” in Apple or in the Google Play store for Android devices.

In 1977, Ed Perry, the founder of radio station WATD-FM in Marshfield, MA, donated his Subsidiary Carrier Authorization signal for use as the first radio reading service in New England. Operating similarly to other broadcast networks, TIC has affiliates throughout the state of Massachusetts that provide inserts of local news and information that is of interest to listeners in their area. The Executive Office of Elder Affairs and the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind oversee TIC, which is located at 130 Enterprise Drive, Marshfield, MA 02050.

Sound the trumpets. Yes, Content is STILL King.

November 29, 2016 //  by admin

Yes, but what do I say?

You know you need to create original and compelling content for your website, e-newsletter, LinkedIn profile, LinkedIn Discussion Groups, LinkedIn Pulse, Facebook posts, Twitter posts, blog posts, bylined articles, news releases and other client correspondence.

Well written, concise and enticing content is STILL the way to grab attention, lead someone through a topic and move them to action.

And Google and other search engines have a keen eye for “keyword stuffing” – randomly and repeatedly including keywords and phrases in your copy with the hope of gaming the system. Well, not only does that not work, you may be penalized for it.

Good writing answers real questions that your audience stays up at night pondering.  Don’t answer them with a glib “Hire me” as the answer. Outline the solution. Be the authority.  Be the go-to source by demonstrating expertise.

Some specific content ideas –

  • Trends worth knowing about.
  • Useful resources.
  • Better ways to solve your problem – product, price or timeline.
  • Case studies of solutions.
  • Myths and Misconceptions.
  • Seasonal phenomenon.
  • Survey your audience.

Let us know if we can write your wrong.

Sound the trumpets. Yes, Content is STILL King.Read More

6 Low Cost Small Business Marketing Ideas

November 23, 2016 //  by admin

(As published on “Now from Nationwide”)

Small business marketing doesn’t have to cost a fortune, but it does take time and effort to develop and execute a full range of low-cost or no-cost marketing tools.

Develop a marketing strategy

Before spending a dime on marketing, you need to be clear about your business goals and ensure your marketing strategy supports those goals. “Every small business owner should ask themselves what is the main object that their business is trying to achieve from their marketing strategy,” says Lisa Chu, owner, Black N Bianco. Once you define your business goals, you can create a marketing plan that supports those goals.

Research the competition

Before you develop a marketing strategy, make sure you research the competition. This will help you define your target audience as well as your business’ strengths and weaknesses, Chu says, and it will help you explain to potential customers your unique value proposition.

Once your research is complete, use that information to develop a road map for your first marketing campaign. There are a number of free and low-cost marketing tools you can use to execute your plan, including cultivating speaking engagements, asking customers for referrals, encouraging bloggers to share information about your product and using LinkedIn to connect with potential clients.

Now that you have a plan and researched the competition, here are 6 [cheap] marketing ideas to get in front of potential clients without blowing your budget:

1. Volunteer for speaking engagements

Show off your expertise and find new clients by offering to speak to business audiences at the local Chamber of Commerce or fraternal organizations such as the Lions, Rotary or Kiwanis clubs. “Getting yourself in front of a crowd is a powerful way to establish yourself as an expert,” says Steven Dubin, president of PR Works. Rather than being a sole speaker, Dubin suggests working with a local organization to put together a panel of speakers on a specific topic. This will help you create an informative discussion rather than a sales pitch. Partnering with other speakers will also bring more people to the event since each speaker would invite their business contacts and friends. Dubin estimated that about 20 percent of his business comes from speaking in front of local groups.

2. Develop engaging talking points

Develop clear, concise and entertaining message points to use in your presentations and marketing materials. Those message points should focus on the emotional aspects of your product or service, Dubin says, rather than the product’s features or benefits. A personal story is more likely to move a customer to buy a product than a list of features.

For example, he says, Emerson Bearing is one of the largest U.S. importers and resellers of bearings yet that isn’t what the company focuses on when it promotes its products. Instead, its message to consumers focuses on trust (Emerson Bearing is a second generation business that has been around since 1957), convenience (Emerson Bearing provides one-stop shopping with more than 3 million types and sizes of bearings to choose from), and customer service (knowledgeable sales staff is available to help customers choose the right bearing for their situation and budget).

3. Connect with bloggers

Get someone else to tell potential customers about how great your product or service is by developing a relationship with an influential blogger in your industry. “When an influential blogger writes a glowing review of my product it helps increase my brand awareness,” Chu says. Entice bloggers to write about your products by offering incentives such as discounts and giveaways for their readers, she says. However, she warns, finding the right blogger to connect with takes time.

Create a list of blogs in your industry, research each one to get a clear understanding of their audience and what they write about, and then use that information to develop a relationship with the blogger.

4. Don’t underestimate referrals

Current clients, friends and business associates can also help tell your story to potential customers. Don’t be shy about asking them to refer clients to you. Offer an incentive for successful referrals, such as discounts on services, a gift card or a gift certificate to a local restaurant.

5. Leverage LinkedIn

Small business owners typically focus on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and they often forget about the power of LinkedIn. The platform offers access to a number of discussion groups focused on a range of topics, including regional business networking, niche industries and entrepreneurs, Dubin says. Join the discussion groups that fit your industry and then share news, updates and trends to establish yourself as a thought leader.

For instance, Dubin says, one of his clients specializes in high-end flooring, so that company’s CEO joined a number of groups related to commercial construction, facility managers and manufacturing. That CEO received a number of sales leads through LinkedIn by sharing legitimate news and trend information with the discussion groups. If you can provide answers to the kind of questions your targeted audience cares about, Dubin says, you can become a resource when they are ready to buy.

6. Create a monthly newsletter

One of the best ways to stay in front of your clients and potential customers is by sending out a monthly online newsletter that focuses on one piece of useful information each month. Most small businesses think that to create a newsletter they must provide six links to stories around the Internet but all they need to do is focus on one useful topic each month, Dubin says.

Businesses need to be in front of their clients and potential customers all the time, he says. You can’t predict when the customer will have an immediate need and be ready to buy. A monthly newsletter with helpful tips is a good way to have regular, ongoing and positive contact with prospective clients.

Rodman CPAs, a full service tax and accounting firm in Waltham, MA recently volunteered a day of service at Hope and Comfort, a Newton, MA-based nonprofit that provides essential personal care products to adults and children in need within Greater Boston.

On Friday, October 21, 2016, Rodman CPAs’ team of 19 volunteered at Hope and Comfort, helping with their essential “Soap for Hope” program. The Rodman team packed 488 hygiene kits containing soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, for distribution to students in Boston Public Schools (through Hope and Comfort’s partnership with their Health and Wellness Department), as well as to Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston, and the Waltham Boys and Girls Club.

Packing the kits was an involved process: the Rodman team sorted and counted the hundreds of hygiene items that their firm’s employees had collected for Soap for Hope over several weeks and made hundreds of cards to be included within the hygiene kits. They also wrapped and decorated four collection boxes to be used for product collection drives in the community, and completed a variety of other tasks to help prepare items for distribution.

One team member, Experienced Associate Justin Horr, also raised thousands of dollars for Hope and Comfort while competing in the World’s Toughest Mudder obstacle course challenge in Las Vegas this month.

“Hope and Comfort is very thankful to everyone from Rodman CPAs for all of their volunteer efforts to help us get essential hygiene products to people in need throughout Greater Boston. Not only did employees volunteer their time, they also collected hundreds of hygiene items and made a very generous financial donation. We could not help as many people as we do without great volunteers and donors like everyone at Rodman CPAs,” Jeff Feingold, Hope and Comfort President and Founder.

Since its founding in 2011, Hope and Comfort has distributed more than 230,000 items in total, and more than 113,000 of those items were distributed in 2016.

“Hope and Comfort supports and improves the health and self-esteem of thousands of children and adults in our community,” said Steve Rodman, president of Rodman CPAs. “We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with such a great organization and will continue to support their efforts.”

Community outreach is woven into Rodman CPAs’ company culture. The firm has a dedicated volunteer outreach team led by Senior Associates Kate Doherty and Elysha Sturm, and every staff member has an opportunity to volunteer. Over the years, Rodman CPAs has supported a number of organizations and causes in addition to Hope and Comfort, including Camp Clark in Plymouth, Rosie’s Place in Boston and The Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE).

About Hope and Comfort

Founded in 2011, Hope and Comfort is a 501c3 organization that works with distribution partners including food pantries and children’s organizations to distribute essential items including soap, toothpaste, and deodorant to children and adults in need throughout Greater Boston.

Hope and Comfort operates three key programs: Soap for Hope (their largest program) provides hygiene kits such as those packed by Rodman CPAs team to Boston Public Schools and area Boys and Girls Clubs; Stock the Shelves, which provides items to 13 partner food pantries each month; and Toiletries for US, which gives products to a variety of shelters and human services organizations throughout the area on an as-needed basis. The organization operates with an eight-member board, one employee and more than 550 volunteers (year-to-date). For more information, visit hopeandcomfort.org.

Talking Information Center Launches Annual Appeal, Joins the #GivingTuesday Movement

November 17, 2016 //  by admin

PrintTalking Information Center (TIC), a non-profit reading service based in Marshfield, MA, which broadcasts 24 hours a day to visually impaired and otherwise print disabled listeners, is launching their Annual Appeal to raise funds to support programming and is participating in the #GivingTuesday movement.

With thousands of blind/visually impaired, senior and veteran listeners statewide, TIC provides informational, entertaining broadcasts that just aren’t available elsewhere. Operating with the help of more than 600 volunteers statewide, TIC broadcasts newspapers, magazines, books, special consumer information, medical and stock market updates, jobs, sports, supermarket specials, voting guides, community newspapers, and more.

Turning Print Into Sound

Every year, TIC must cover the cost of print subscriptions, which are the heart of TIC programming as they provide the content that volunteers read. TIC subscribes to more than 60 newspapers and magazines, from The Boston Globe and The Washington Post to Diabetes Self Management, Consumer Reports, Reader’s Digest and others.

In order to continue providing quality print-based programming to listeners, TIC is fundraising to defray subscription costs. For example, a $25 donation could sponsor a full year of Time Magazine and a $150 donation could sponsor six months of The Wall Street Journal.

Supporting a Good Cause on #GivingTuesday

TIC is a registered nonprofit organization with 38 years of success and sustainability. TIC asks those in the community to consider making a donation to help cover the cost of print subscriptions and support programming on #GivingTuesday, November 29, 2016, which is the global day dedicated to giving.

Donations may be made online at www.ticnetwork.org. Donations may also be made by check or money order (made out to “Talking Information Center”) and mailed to Talking Information Center, PO Box 519, Marshfield, MA 02050.

A Growing Demand

Approximately 10,000 people turn 65 every day in the U.S. and in Massachusetts, 34 percent of people with disabilities are 65 and older. Others who experience vision problems are living with AIDS, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, paralysis and other physical ailments that make it difficult to hold a publication or turn its pages.

“Two out of three aging Americans confront vision loss. Baby boomers are the fastest growing segment of our audience,” explained Jim Bunnell, TIC’s Executive Director. “Without the community’s generous support, TIC listeners would not be able to access the news and information they have come to rely on and which greatly enriches the quality of their lives.”

The Hub of the Massachusetts Reading Network

TIC is a proud member of the International Association of Audible Information Services (IAAIS), and is the hub of the Massachusetts Reading Network, broadcasting to all of Massachusetts as well as southern New Hampshire and Connecticut. TIC operates with the help of more than 600 volunteers statewide, broadcasting newspapers, magazines, books, special consumer information, medical and stock market updates, jobs, sports, supermarket specials, voting guides, community newspapers, and television programs. TIC also offers cultural programming such as old-time radio drama, theater, and poetry. Two of TIC’s newest shows include Veterans Voice Radio and Veterans Voice Story Hour, which are specifically geared toward military veterans and their families.

TIC programming may be accessed several ways: via live audio stream at http://www.ticnetwork.org; by utilizing a specially tuned radio receiver; through AudioNow by calling 712-832-7025 from a home or cell phone; or by smartphone app. Listeners with smartphones may download the free TIC app by typing “Talking Information Center” in Apple or in the Google Play store for Android devices.
