Lakefront Living International, LLC Adds New Hampshire to its Family of Lakefront Property Partners

MEREDITH, NH… New Hampshire is home to nearly 1,000 lakes and they are some of the cleanest and healthiest in the country. The lakes are a major attraction for visitors and residents. Popular lake activities include swimming, boating, and fishing. Since lakes in New Hampshire typically freeze during the winter, activities also include ice-fishing, ice-skating, and cross-country skiing.

Glenn and Angela Smith of Lakefront Living Realty – The Smith Group

Lakefront Living International, LLC has announced that the entire state of New Hampshire is being franchised by NH Broker, Glenn Smith and his wife, Angela Smith, also a Realtor. Their company, now known as Lakefront Living Realty – The Smith Group, is based in Meredith, NH.
 
“There are 273 lakes and ponds in the NH Lakes Region alone,” said Scott Freerksen, CEO of Lakefront Living International, “We’re honored to have Glenn and Angela’s passion for the lakes represented in this area.”

Although born and raised in Massachusetts, Glenn Smith thought of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region as “home.” He came to the Center Harbor area as a child where his family acted as caretakers of the Arbor Cabins. Every year, the day after school got out for summer break, the family packed up and came north to enjoy long fun filled days at “the lake.” Those memories stayed with him throughout his real estate career.

“Being an avid boater and fisherman has allowed me to develop a great respect and knowledge of the lakes and surrounding towns,” said Glenn Smith, now Broker of Lakefront Living Realty – The Smith Group, “It’s been a real pleasure introducing hundreds of clients to this beautiful area.”

Lake Winnipesaukee is the largest lake in the state at 72 square miles and is located at the foothills of the White Mountains. It contains more than 200 miles of shoreline and 274 habitable islands.

Newfound Lake, which some say is among the cleanest in the world, is 4,106 acres in size and is considered one of the deepest lakes in New Hampshire (183-feet deep at one point). This pristine lake is about two and a half miles wide and seven miles in length.

“Squam Lake, the film site for ‘On Golden Pond,’ is known as one of the most peaceful and pristine in the country and offers visitors plenty of opportunity to enjoy its natural beauty,” said Angela Smith, Partner of Lakefront Living Realty – The Smith Group. “Big and Little Squam lakes are naturally spring fed and connected by a channel in Holderness. Big Squam is six miles long, four miles wide and 98 feet deep.”

Lakefront property prices in New Hampshire are as diverse as the properties themselves. Buyers can find land for sale on smaller lakes for $150,000, and mansions on Lake Winnipesaukee for up to $10,000,000.

The team at Lakefront Living Realty – The Smith Group can also connect NH lake home buyers with HGTV’s popular Lakefront Bargain Hunt show, now in its eighth year of production.

“The lakes and homes of New Hampshire are already populated on our website LakefrontLiving.com,” said Christine Mosier, COO of Lakefront Living International, “We’re thrilled to have Glenn and Angela represent Lakefront Living Realty as we continue to grow and offer the most passionate specialists in the country.”

LakefrontLiving.com displays all the homes for sale on the lakes it covers, not just the listings of any particular Broker, making it a one-stop shop for interested buyers. And unlike many real estate syndication sites on the web today, the site is always 100 percent accurate. In addition, the site provides the important details of the lakes themselves, ensuring buyers make informed and educated decisions.

Interested buyers and sellers can learn more about New Hampshire lakes and homes by contacting Glenn or Angela Smith of Lakefront Living Realty – The Smith Group at 603-233-7226.

“Higher Ed” Pop-Up Series Launched by Green Goddess Supply

— Complimentary Cannabis Educational Workshops
Offered to Dispensaries Throughout Southern New England —

DATELINE: HOPEDALE, MA

What is the best cannabis strain for a chill-out at the end of the day, or to achieve a certain effect? What’s a “terpene”? How do I infuse my favorite recipes at home? How do I better understand a cannabinoid test to know what to expect? How, exactly, are dabs and how do you do them? Heck, how do you roll a perfect joint? There are so many aspects to consumption alone that it can feel like falling down the rabbit hole.

These and many other commonly asked questions about cannabis will be addressed by the newly launched and complimentary “Higher Ed” Pop-Up educational programming series offered by Green Goddess Supply, a Hopedale, MA-based“cultivation to consumption” cannabis lifestyle brand offering a line of high-quality products to grow, store, prep and consume hemp flower and cannabis products.  The Pop-Up programming is being offered on a complimentary basis to cannabis dispensaries throughout southern New England (others may inquire, but it may not be practical to visit based upon distance).

“We’ve done a few of these already in a pilot program, and they’ve been very well received,” noted Eric Robichaud, founder of Green Goddess Supply. “In fact, we’ve been requested back more than once already, and we are only just launching this new initiative!” 

The company is excited about offering objective and vetted educational programming for both cannabis dispensary customers and staff. Green Goddess Supply has certified experts who have a number of prepared cannabis educational programs covering a variety of topics. Besides being educational, the company makes the sessions fun and interactive, presented in a casual and inviting manner to make consumers feel both comfortable and engaged.

“We typically book a 4-hour spot on-site to put on a show during retail hours. Additionally, we are happy to consider going outside the box, so to speak, to address other specific topics of interest to dispensary leaders, if its within our wheelhouse.  We aren’t restricted to our pre-set list of topics,” said Robichaud.

In addition to cannabis supplies, Green Goddess Supply produces an award-winning home grow system called “The Armoire” which is designed to look like furniture and meld nicely into any home décor.  Most Armoire owners are first-time growers looking for a small, simple system that “just works,” and comes with hand-holding Concierge Support services. Green Goddess Supply invented The Armoire personal home grow system to empower anybody to grow their own high quality, clean, organic bud at home quickly, easily, discreetly and inexpensively.

About Green Goddess Supply

Green Goddess Supply sells direct to consumers at MSRP through its website, and also offers wholesale and distributor accounts to brick and mortar storefronts and industry distributors. Green Goddess Supply strives to exceed expectations and delight customers with quality products and amazing customer service.

The Armoire, a turnkey home grow system that even your most judgmental aunt won’t detect, is patented by and a trademark of Green Goddess Supply. Green Goddess Supply is a privately held company headquartered in Boston, MA with additional distributions centers in Los Angeles, CA; Long Island City, New York and Pooler, Georgia.

Pre-taping Tips for Podcasting. Prepare for success. Avoid disaster. 

Tom Ricciardelli, SelecTech

How do you make the MOST of being a podcast guest? Make sure you look great, sound great, maximize the opportunity?

Nowadays, one of our major focuses as a PR firm is to arrange for guest opportunities for our clients. There is nothing better than leveraging someone else’s broadcast audience, social media reach and credibility.

What are some the simple PREP TIPS prior to going “live”? This quick list will make it easier for you look and sound great.

  • Check video background. Too cluttered? Too funky – does it look like you’ve been taken hostage in someone’s basement? It is okay to have personality and personal effects, but the general goal is to have your background space look like an office or home office.
  • Check “name” under video headshot. Make sure to use your full name and either your company name or your solution. Example, Steven Dubin, PR Works. Or Steven Dubin, PR/Marketing.
  • Turn off cellphone, landline. Simple. Don’t let another call interrupt you.
  • Close windows. Sirens, birds, lawn mowers, loud neighbors are to be avoided.
  • Note on door. Warn/alert colleagues, family, and intruders. Amazing what a Post-it note can do to remind people not to barge in.
  • Prepare for the allotted time (typically 30 minutes). Don’t over schedule yourself and be stressed.
  • Note – 1 take. Most podcaster do little or NO editing of the first and only take. That being said, relax, take your time and articulate.
  • Show opening. Have prepared introduction. Provide the host with verbiage for your introduction. This makes it easier for them and you.
  • Show close. Have a prepared summary. How do you want listeners to find you? What are you asking them to respond to? Free E-book, 15-minute complimentary audit, sign up for E-Newsletter?
  • Cue for wrapping up/ending the segment. Many hosts will alert you to wrap it up. Be prepared as you hear a key phrase like “And my final question…”

Be prepared for your podcast appearance and be a media darling.

Let us know if we can help book you on targeted podcasts that attract your best potential audience. We use a number of paid and free online websites to match your topic with appropriate shows.
