For many, the “summer season” ends soon with school starting and Labor Day fast approaching. However, plenty of business opportunities remain as we ease into the second part of the calendar year, and for many businesses, the start of a fiscal year. Some things to consider as we near the end of this busy summer season are three of the more common complaints small business faces – shoddy work, missed appointments and unreturned phone calls. Any one of these can negatively impact your business, especially in small communities such as ours, where word-of-mouth and referrals account for much of our business. These complaints can sneak up on us all with increased tourism business, personal and family obligations, vacations, etc. We must accept these as challenges in living and working in this coastal environment and learn to balance the lifestyle with the “work style.” Remain diligent in offering the highest quality in service not only to our guests, but also to those who live here. –––––––– President’s Message By Darryl Marsh –––––––– It may seem extreme to many, but asking a friend, distant family member or casual acquaintance to act as a “secret shopper” may reveal some interesting information on your business. This could prove to be a good testing tool in helping to maintain the highest level of customer service for your business. ––– On a lighter note, not only is August National Family Fun Month and National Peach Month, but it is also National Golf Month and National Picnic Month.

No problem! The coastal way of life and boating go hand in hand. Itʼs hard to have one without the other. And who would really want to, anyway? With this in mind, it should comes as no surprise that a majority of area residents make sure to have at least one vessel handy to launch into the picturesque waters surrounding Swansboro. Whether you are island hopping, exploring the inlets, watching the sun set or aiming to catch the “Big One,” boating is more of a way of life than a luxury along the coast of North Carolina. Whatʼs your preference? Skiff? Sailboat? Or perhaps youʼre one of the lucky ones and do your cruising in a yacht. Regardless of your chosen mode of aquatic transportation, one thing you can always count on is that your investment in water fun is going to need a little bit of TLC every now and then. Youʼll want to take your water baby to an experienced professional for any maintenance and repairs. Treat your boat right and it will be ready when you want it. Located conveniently along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in Hubert, White Gold Marine Services is an easy answer to a wide variety of boating problems. Owner/broker James Lawler has been working on boats since his early teens, graduating from boat mechanicʼs school (Universal Technical School) in Orlando, Fla., and hired by Armstrong Marine right out of the gate. In fact, heʼs worked on boats all over the world for the last 15 years, and now (lucky –––––––– for Swansboro) Spotlight he has decided to bring his lat–––––––– est company to the Hubert facility and call the area home. Most local residents are familiar with the White Gold Marine Services/Armstrong Marine location. The plant, located towards the end of Hogans Road, has housed Chris Craft Yachts, Hatteras Yachts, and Tiara Yachts, among others. Currently, Armstrong Marine calls it home and White Gold Marine Services rents its space from Armstrong Marine. What makes the location ideal for White Gold Marine Services? James and his staff have access to a fully equipped, covered facility with a 75metric ton travel lift, able to pull boats as large as 90 feet from the water. The 50-plus acre property is adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway, making it a convenient setting for both James and his clients. “We can take care of almost any boating problem right here,” James noted. “So far, weʼve done engine work on everything from a $1,500 boat up to a $4.2 million boat. I have always been a mobile business, so this is the first time that Iʼve Transferring a prescription is easy! ���������������� ����������������������������������� ���������������������������� �������������������������� �������������� ���������������������� ����������� ������������ ��������������������� ������������������������ James Lawler is owner/broker of White Gold Marine Services LLC of Hubert. had a stationary business.

BullsEye helps you hit your target market How many times have you heard that, to effectively promote your business, you have to “think outside the box?” You have to do something different than the other guy. Thatʼs how you catch the attention of your target market. And thatʼs how you make your business successful. Eddie Holland founded BullsEye Advertising in October 2014 on exactly this principle … doing something different than the other guy. Already a familiar face to area residents due to his years with N.C. Farm Bureau Insurance, Holland said he founded his advertising venture after extensive … research. “At first, we were trying to reach women” he noted. “My wife works with Onslow Pregnancy Resource Center and thatʼs really how this all began. We wanted to reach young women, and everything else sort of grew from that.” Whatʼs different about BullsEye Advertising? Letʼs start with ad locations. You wonʼt find BullsEyeʼs ads in magazines or newspapers. Not on the television or radio, either. But glance around the next time you use the restroom at your favorite business and you may be –––––––– Spotlight surprised to see a rather large, –––––––– neatly framed ad where you were used to seeing, well, nothing. Ads by BullsEye measure a sizeable 8 inches by10 inches. Four ads are grouped together to make up each framed billboard. And, they can be seen in locations throughout Onslow County. Restaurants, marinas, gyms, bowling alleys, bars … all are homes to BullsEyeʼs billboards, placing ads in an area where competition is fairly non-existence. “You have a captive audience when you advertise with us,” Holland explained. “We help you reach your target audience up close and personal with full color ads at competitive rates.” Each inside billboard has, at most, four ads. Ads have plenty of room for text and full-color pictures. And, because of its strategic location, that all-important message is not diluted by outdoor distractions. “This type of advertising has been around the nation since the ʼ80s but weʼre the first company to bring it to this area,” Holland observed. Customers can pick and choose locations from BullsEyeʼs Lyndon Humphrey, BullsEye Advertising sales representative, left, is pictured advertising partners. Ad designers are also available to design ads free of charge upon request or customers can use existing ads provided that they meet certain criteria. Ad copy can be changed every three months. Contract rates are available.

Now, the company has progressed to more than 20 locations in a variety of areas including Jacksonville, Swansboro, Richlands, and New Bern. His main goal is “to help clients promote their places of business any way possible.” BullsEye Advertising is at 101 VFW Road, Suite F, Cedar Point.
