The Land of Freedom |
| Has anybody ever said to you, don’t give anything away for free? Not so fast, say the experts at the Journal of Marketing. Researchers from the University of Miami found that offering a free gift-with-purchase without specifying what the item is prompts people to buy.
Better still, drawing customers in with the promise of a free surprise holds the promise of creating buzz on social media and… it encourages people to spend more.

Using Your Insightly Mailbox Address to Save E-Mails |
| When forwarding messages to Insightly, you can send them to your Insightly mailbox address or to a mailbox for a specific opportunity or project. You can find your Insightly mailbox address at the bottom of the Emails tab or on the User Settings > Mailbox page.
Here’s a shortcut that some customers like: Add a contact entry to your email program’s address book for your Insightly mailbox address. Then, instead of copying-and-pasting the address from Insightly each time you need it, you can simply CC or forward to a contact name you set up, like “My Insightly Mailbox.”

Fish Farmers |
| If you enjoy the serenity of plant life and tranquility of fish gliding gently through the water, go Back To The Roots and procure a The Water Garden. Sized perfectly for a desktop or kitchen counter, The Water Garden sits atop a self-cleaning fish tank with a closed-loop system—the fish feed the plants and plants clean the water.
The design employs aquaponics, a sustainable farming method that combines traditional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil). It uses 90% less water than traditional farming.
