Lately there is a lot of talk going on around Internet Security. Much of the talk are about supporting TLS 1.2, but you are asked to buy an SSL Certificate. You must be confused like I am. You need to support TLS 1.2 to be considered secure, and soon the newer browsers will enforce that. Starting sometime in March of next year, new browsers will not even display the content if your website is not TLS 1.2 or later.
When you read up on the Internet, you'll learn that TLS is a successor to SSL. So, what is a TLS certificate? Why are you still asked to buy SSL when SSL is replaced by TLS. What is going on?
It is really confusing and stupid. I learned there are two meanings to SSL. (1) SSL is a certificate you buy to verify your company's security. “SSL Certificate”, (2) is the encryption method called SSL. The encryption method SSL is the one that is succeeded by TLS. The versions that are available for TLS are 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3. And starting March 2020, anything below TLS 1.2 will not be considered safe. Of course, all SSL excretions are obsolete.
Here is the confusing part: To use TLS, you need to be verified by a third party as an existing business or organization. That certificate is still called SSL. So you need to purchase an SSL certificate to activate TLS. Was I able to clear up this confusion? I hope I did. If you are not SSL certified or using anything less than TLS 1.2, or if you do not know which version you are using, please give us a call. We will be happy to look it up.
This will be my last newsletter for 2019. Have safe holidays and a happy new year. Thank you for being my friend.

Soba Shops Never Go Out of Business
There is a saying in Japan that “Soba Shops Never Go Out of Business”. Soba noodles are buckwheat noodles and are very popular in Japan. Below are the reasons why soba shops do not go out of business. Some of the things I discuss you might want to consider applying to your business.
Soba is very expensive compared to fast food in Japan
Soba has very little food loss as they can be made on demand
Soba shops serve sake to increase their revenue
Per customer spending is higher
Food appeals to all generations
People can consume soba at any time of day
Delivery is very popular
They only need to employ a small number of people
No rent, as many of them operate from the owner’s home
These are some of the things that help soba shops stay in business. Did you learn something?
***
I think there is something we all should learn to mimic what Soba shops are doing for hundreds of years. You can subscribe to my newsletter at https://www.uchikura.co

Where is the angel or a start?
If we cannot say what it is to make sure you are not offending someone.
That means the word Christmas Tree is an offensive word or thing.
That also mean you feel offensive of there is any other item of different faith.
Grow up and start accepting what is ... We should not hold any faith object to offensive.

Last Full Moon of the Year Tonight!!!
Amazon is a great platform for B2B and B2C … which are businesses selling products to other businesses or consumers. It is not designed to be B2B2B or B2B2C … which are businesses wholesaling to other businesses who then sell to other businesses or consumers. The keyword here is “wholesale”. I may be misinformed but as far as I know the only successful wholesale platform is Alibaba.
So what does it require to be a B2B2B and B2B2C wholesale platform? A wholesale site must be able to help businesses find reps. or business partners, this is key. The site must be heard of for both sellers (OEM/ODM manufacturers) and possible resellers. If you really think about it, it is not possible to make money from wholesale transactions. You really need to make money from the introduction.
Unlike Amazon and other B2B / B2C sites, it must be a networking site for businesses. That is something I would really like to think about and develop. Do you have any comments or suggestions? If you do please let me know.

Why do you spend money on marketing? What is the purpose? Brand recognition? How much budget do you need to have? Is marketing an investment? Who do you spend your marketing dollars with?
When it comes to marketing, small businesses have millions of questions and no clear-cut answers. If you are in business to make money, you should spend less on your marketing than what you make. If you find a method of marketing that bring as much or more than what you spend, you should stick with it.
Measuring the results of marketing is much harder than black ink and red ink. You don’t usually know how much money you are bringing in because of the marketing. Unfortunately, no marketing company I know will base their cost on the income.
Before you spend money on marketing, let's make sure some of the basics are in order. Here is a checklist:
- Your website information is up-to-date and mobile friendly.
- You have SSL to make sure your website is secure for visitors.
- Social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. are in order.
- Make sure you identify what you want to sell.
- Create a proper message (elevator pitch) for your company and product.
- Clean up and catalog your contacts.
Now you have all of the basics taken care of. When you are done with the above, believe it or not, more than 50% of the marketing work is done. Now you can concentrate on the method in which to deliver your message.

Complete Opinion Gathering System ... OpinionStand

Complete Opinion Gathering and Marketing System
We have created Opinion Stand to gather people’s opinions, but we did not stop there. We created a way for people to write what’s on their mind. We started with the Kiosk version which is very simple and easy-to-use. From there we created the QR code based opinion gathering system. Lastly, we created a web-based version for people to evaluate websites and their content.
This is a complete system which, with little planning, you can create a powerful marketing message system. Many establishments do not really provide ways to gather people’s opinions. Sure, you can send out a survey, but how many people will take the time to fill it out? Opinion Stand is quick and easy, people do not need to take a lot of time completing it unless they really want to.
You can use Opinion Stand within your business. If you would like to try it for free, please contact us at 1-800-232-3989 or 425-957-0808. You can also email us at sales@pspinc.com

Barneys New York is Closing / Sad

It is very sad to see.
It is not only due to the competition with online stores like Amazon.
I think it has a lot to do with the fact that younger generations do not desire nice an expensive things. They are more practical.
You do not meed $1,000 dawn coat, you can get by with $100 UNIQLO dawn. It is also true to any industry including Internet services. You really need to be practical and inexpensive.
