What business doesn’t want to create Top Of Mind Awareness or TOMA with their customers? It means that when they need a product or service you have, your business is the one they think of.
Traditionally, TOMA has been achieved through channels such as newspapers, television, and magazines. TOMA refers to the percent of respondents who name a brand or product first when asked to list companies in that industry sector—including, but not limited to, traditional advertising channels.
But how to create TOMA? Of course TOMA is created using advertising of many forms, one of which is promotional products.
We all know about the pen with the name and phone number on it, but did you know that there are thousands of other specialty promotional items that you may be surprised exist? Take a look at this collapsible vase for example or how about hand sanitizer with your company’s name and logo on it?
In addition to the good old pen, coffee mug, calculator, drinking bottle and key chain, how about tote bags, binders, wine sets, zany bands, alarm clocks, watches and so many more. Take a look for yourself.

FIBER-tips from The Carpet Doctor of WNY
1. Act immediately when pet accidents occur. The longer the soil stands, the greater the chance it will seep through the carpet to the pad and floor.
2. Remove as much moisture as possible by blotting the spot with a clean white absorbant material. The more moisture you remove now, the less residue has to be treated later. Using a clean white absorbant material lessons the risk of transferring dye between your cleaning material and your affected fabric. It also helps to see if the stain is being successfully removed.
3. Follow the instructions on a commercially available product that’s labeled as suitable for pet stains. Be aware that some cleaning products do not address the bacteria left in the carpet and may only mask instead of neutralize the odor.
4. Call us. We are trained and equipped to thoroughly clean, disinfect and deodorize pet stains. We also stand behind all of our work.

People often ask how long healing from an injury, surgery or when people come for a chiropractic treatment. That depends on many factors.
Your Age – healing potential diminishes with age. Generally, younger people get quicker results.
Your Problem – it takes longer to resolve long-standing problems that have been neglected. More recent problems tend to heal faster.
Your Discipline – are you willing to make the positive changes. If you follow suggestions you will get better results.
Your Goal – Your intentions are important. Do you want optimum health and to maintain it?
Your Attitude – It’s proven that those with a positive outlook heal faster. As your nervous system works better, anything is possible.
