Influencer Marketing for Small Businesses: Success Tips

By means of the previously mentioned research objectives—that of ascertaining the influence of influencers on purchasing interest in East Java cuisine—we hope to This is crucial so that consumers' purchasing intents are understood to be based on their impressions of the dependability or efficacy of influencer campaigns shown on social media. This study focuses especially on East Java's propensity to purchase culinary products based on videos influencers posted on Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok. The gathered data in this work is analyzed and observed using a quantitative design. The study took place in East Java, particularly in the Regency area with much of culinary tourists. The choice of the province of East Java was based on the many gastronomic variations and significant population; hence, the probability of respondent selection is higher and many respondents spend their time on social media and observing influencers present promotions of different culinary pleasures in ...

The Evolution of Business Retail in the USA A 2024 Perspective

Not much has changed in Oak Bay since then, but I've seen that the small houses that once housed middle-class families and seniors are gradually being replaced by larger modern flats. Peaked roofs and gables are out, while square lines and flat roofs are popular. When done effectively with excellent wood or stone, the modern style can be appealing. Unfortunately, the majority of new homes are neither rich nor tasteful. My coastal road's elegant curve is gradually being bordered with square boxes, as if it were drawn by a very uninspired or dumb child. At the moment, there are no tall condos, but I believe they will be built soon. They are absolutely growing up downtown at an alarming rate.One of the best things about returning to Oak Bay is the near-complete lack of politics. In contrast to Alberta, where rage at Ottawa has dominated provincial politics since at least the first Trudeau, British Columbians' attitude toward Ottawa is one of indifference and ignorance. The Rocky Mountains are a formidable psychological barrier, and anything that makes it over them drowns in the Salish Sea before reaching us. If Vancouver is Lotus Land, as Allan Fotheringham described it, Oak Bay is the Shire: a verdant suburban refuge blissfully unaware of the outside world's whispers. 

Even municipal politics is virtually non-existent.

the mayor ran unopposed in 2022, and the most heated subject in the previous two elections was the local deer slaughter. Don't get me wrong: there is value in active civic politics, but there are also benefits to quiescence. And as I strive to extract as much comfort as I can from the final days of August, I know which I prefer.There aren't many things that everyone can agree on these days, but $10-a-day child care appears to be one.As The Hub's Geoff Russ reported last month, the Liberal plan for $10-a-day child care across Canada is now permanent after the House of Commons unanimously approved legislation establishing the program."With a single vot the Conservative Party seemed to end two decades of opposition to a national child care program," said Russ. Russ said that abolishing national child care is no longer a "credible" option for Conservatives.With $10-a-day child care all but imminent, provincial governments would be well to investigate the documented flaws of the universal, flat-fee model of child care and plan appropriately.Quebec's universal child care program, which has been in place in La Belle province for the past 25 years, has dominated the national discourse around child care. While the program has some positive aspects, it has also been widely criticized for perpetuating socioeconomic inequities in access to adequate childcare. A recent audit done by the province's auditor general discovered that nearly half of the children enrolled in Montreal's highly coveted Centres de la Petite Enfance (CPEs) were from homes earning $200,000 or more per year. 

The same study discovered that there.


was one CPE place for every three eligible children in the affluent district of Westmount, but only one space for every seven children in the working-class suburb of Montréal-Nord.British Columbia's five-year experiment with $10-per-day child care has received less attention. B.C. began the first pilot study of the program in the fall of 2018 and has since opened over 12,700 $10-a-day spots, accounting for nearly 10% of all regulated child care spaces in the province. This provides B.C. a significant advantage over most other provinces.Unfortunately, there are early signs that British Columbia is falling into the same equity trap as Quebec.How does $10-per-day child care operate in British ColumbiaThe Ministry of Education and Child Care in British Columbia oversees a network of 267 ChildcareBC centers, which cost $10 per day. Nine out of ten centers in the network are run by non-profit organizations or public institutions (such as schools and universities). On average, each center serves around 50 youngsters.Licensed child care providers can apply directly to the Ministry to become $10-a-day centers.Successful applications get provincial funds to cover running expenses, minus the $10 per day parental fee collected by the institution. During the 2021-22 expansion of the program, the Ministry received over 600 applications and approved only a handful.Where are the $10-a-day centers located?A quick look at the current list of $10-a-day centers reveals stark regional inequalities. Notably, Vancouver has more than five times the number of centers as Surrey, despite the latter's bigger population of eligible youngsters. Even Victoria, the province's capital, has more centers than Surrey, while having only one-tenth the number of youngsters. (I imagine the province's lawmakers and bureaucrats need a place to stash their brats throughout the day).

Despite accounting for only 40% of the province's population, the Vancouver Coastal and Vancouver Island regions collectively host more than half of B.C.'s $10-a-day centers. Meanwhile, the densely populated Fraser Valley has only two centres for every 100,000 people.Image credit: Janice Nelson.The Ministry of Education and Child Care has addressed the issue and announced that it will prioritize communities with a "low proportion of $10-a-day spaces compared to population density" in future application cycles. It is unclear whether it will keep its commitment.Are $10-a-day centers concentrated in affluent neighborhoods?The good news is that, according to neighbourhood-level statistics I gathered in Vancouver, there is minimal evidence of an income discrepancy in access to $10-a-day childcare. There is a negative link between neighborhood median income and $10-per-day child care spots. This relationship remains statistically significant even when Vancouver's troublesome Downtown Eastside (DTES) is removed from the sample of neighbourhoods. On average, a $10,000 decline in area income results in 26.5 extra spots (excluding DTES).mage credit: Janice Nelson.This is not to suggest that the allocation of places in Vancouver is perfectly equitable. Thecentral commercial sector and the University of British Columbia endowment lands have the most parking spots in the city. These two sites account for four out of every ten $10-per-day parking spaces in the city.Given Quebec's history, it's not unexpected that centers concentrate in areas of the city with a large proportion of white-collar workers. This suggests that, barring any countervailing social policies, reasonably well-off urban professionals are the group most likely to profit from the Canada-wide introduction of $10-a-day childcare.

Brazil and the USA: A Comparative Look at Urban Life

  National economies are propelled by cities These spaces are attractive to the most productive firms and the most talented workers due to the agglomeration advantages they generate, which are the primary cause for their existence. This environment is conducive to growth and development. Cities promote economic advancement by facilitating the sharing, matching, and learning of individuals and businesses through their high density (DURANTON; PUGA, 2004). Furthermore, Marshall (1890) asserted that ideas are "in the air," which implies that the mere concentration of individuals could result in novel outcomes. The functional role of each city in an urban system is contingent upon its ability to provide more specialized products and services to the surrounding areas (LÖSCH, 1964; CHRISTALLER, 1966). Given that population development enhances the capacity to generate economies of agglomeration and market potential, the centrality level of cities is also correlated with population s...

The Biggest Brazilian Community in the USA: A Cultural Hub

To like, stop inflation, the policymakers of the first military government were like, "Yo, let's introduce this sick package that includes: a) cutting government deficits; b) controlling the money flow; and c) adjusting wages based on inflation and productivity. It's gonna be lit, fam! The plan totally flopped on its initial goals - only 10% in '66 - but it did manage to bring down inflation from a crazy 89.9% in '64 to 37.9% in '66 and 26.5% in '67. Furthermore, Figure 3 below flexes a steady drop in inflation rates throughout the economic miracle. By Brazilian standards, the period was like, totally lit in controlling price rises. Which parts of the anti-inflation policies actually stopped inflation tho? The Poli Econ of the Stabilisation Policy wage dropped steadily from 1964 up to 1968 and then kept almost constant throughout the "economic miracle." On the flip side, the "white collar" peeps were totally vibing with the economic bo...

OMG, like the private banks were all about reducing credit stuff and focusing on investing in things from the public sector. So lit, right? First, banks like totally shifted credit stuff from private sector to public entities (check out Table 38 below). Second, the foreign currency remunerated deposits in the BACEN (regulated by the Circular Letter 230) became hella popular amongst commercial banks. OMG, in 1978 those deposits were only like 1.6% of the banks' total assets. But then in December 1979 and February 1983, they went cray and increased like six times. By 1983, they were like 9.3% of all the commercial banks' assets. OMG, in 1979, public securities were only, like, 17% of the investments in shares and securities. But in 1983, they were, like, a whopping 80%! Yo, peep Figure 18 up there, it's all about the financialisation of the non-financial corporation market value. Like, a big chunk of those financial investments were totally tied to the value of public bonds c...
