From The Editor Buy Local Promoting local business is as simple as having other company’s business cards or brochures posted on a board in your store.

Top Ten reasons to Think Local in Summerville Buy Local - Be Local – Help Oakbrook Businesses

1. Buy Local -- Support yourself and the Oakbrook Community.

Many studies have revealed when you buy from an independent, locally owned business in the Summerville area, rather than a nationally owned businesses, considerably more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses. Oakbrook businesses continue to strengthen the economic base of the Summerville community. These include case studies showing that Summerville owned businesses generate a premium in enhanced economic impact to the community and our tax base.

2.Support Oakbrook Area Community Groups: Non-profit organizations receive an average 250% more support from smaller Summerville area business owners than they do from large companies. 3. Keep

the Oakbrook Area Unique: Where we shop, where we eat and have fun -- all of it makes our Oakbrook community home. Our one-of-a-kind Oakbrook businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of Summerville. Summerville tourism businesses also benefit. “When people go on vacation they generally seek out destinations that offer them the sense of being someplace, not just anyplace.” ~ Richard Moe, President, National Historic Preservation Trust.

4. Reduce Environmental Impact: Locally owned businesses in Oakbrook Area can make more local purchases requiring less transportation. This generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution.

5. Create Additional Jobs: Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in Oakbrook area community, provide the most jobs to local residents. 6. Receive Better Service: Oakbrook businesses often hire people with a better understanding of the products and services they offer, and take more time to get to know customers. Cont. next page

From The Editor - Continued

7.Invest

in the Oakbrook Community: Local Oakbrook businesses are owned by people who live in this community, and they are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the community’s future.

8. Put your Taxes to Good Use: Oakbrook businesses require a relatively little infrastructure investment and make more efficient use of public services as compared to nationally owned stores entering Oakbrook. 9. Buy What you Want, Not What Big Advertising Budgets Want you to Buy: A

South Carolina marketplace comprised of tens of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term. A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products and services based not on a national sales plan but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, promises a much broader range of product choices.

10. Promote Local Prosperity: An escalating

body of economic research shows that in an increasingly homogenized world, entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character. Larry Local www.Oakbrook.sc Editor in Chief

South Carolina Wedding & Event Planners: Career Outlook Can you imagine a more exciting career than being the person who helps to plan a couple’s happiest day together and makes them lasting memories for the rest of their life? Or planning a Corporate Event for some of the largest companies in South Carolina. The best part is you are creating an event that you do not have to pay for. If you are interested in a career as a wedding or event planner, read on to discover general description, educational requirements, and your job outlook information.

expertise. Wedding planners oversee and are responsible for much of the work of the wedding from beginning to end, but the couple is still involved. Wedding directors take care of the entire wedding event, which affords the couple getting married to only focus on getting married. Wedding directors sometimes usually attend the wedding to make sure the day goes exactly as planned. If it rains on the day of an outdoor wedding, the wedding director will have an alternate plan already in place. Wedding planners, specifically, perform a variety of tasks. They make appointments with clients and vendors, provide gown options, provide wedding theme options, and plan for the unforeseen among other things. The business side of wedding planning involves

staying within your budget, and making sure the vendors get paid. Wedding planners who handle all aspects of the event are mostly self-employed working both part-time and full-time. However, special event centers, wineries, hotels, and other hospitality facilities also offer employment opportunities. Wedding planners must also write contracts and be efficient marketers of their business. The best wedding planner in South Carolina must get their name known, and can only handle a certain amount of weddings in any given time. An event planner does the same basic tasks as the wedding planner, but the event will dictate what is different. A big corporate event may require

Wedding and Event Planner Job Description Wedding or Event planners, as the name implies, handle many or all of the details of setting up a wedding or other event from coordinating the caterers to directing the dinners. The term wedding planner is a classification of how involved the person is with their clients’ wedding. There are two other classifications which are wedding consultants and wedding directors. Wedding consultants allow couples to plan the wedding and offer only their advice and www.Oakbrook.sc Online Magazine | 2009 11

several sound and video systems. A golf tournament may require many sponsors being adequately recognized. Whatever the event, having alternative plans when things go not as planned is the mark of a good planner. This means that you must have a long list of suppliers and people in the service industries that can stand in when problems arise.

Educational Requirements for Wedding & Event Planners There are no federal, state, or local laws requiring wedding or event planners to have anything other than a business license. Very few colleges/universities offer degrees or certificates in wedding and planning. Online schools offer training; however, carefully research the online school prior to paying any fees or signing up for classes. The best schooling is the College of OJT ( On the Job Training). Working for a wedding or event planner and learning from the ground up is the only way to truly learn the business. Certification is increasingly becoming sought after because clients want to make sure their special day is handled by a professional.

Job Outlook for Wedding & Event Planners Wedding and event planning in South Carolina is a growing field with more and more opportunities. Creating a profitable business is a slow process. Attracting clientele takes time, but there is always plenty of work for good planners. www.Oakbrook.sc Online Magazine | 2009 13

Profiting From the Green Movement

• Avoid

letting your car

- Every second you spend idling your car’s engine means needlessly wasting gas, as well as, adding wear and tear on your vehicle. Idling over 10 seconds wastes more gas than is needed for startup. Overall, Americans idle away 2.9 billion gallons of gas a year, worth around $78.2 billion. idle

People in South Carolina are active in “going green” and doing their part to save the environment, save money and promote the local economy in the process. There are many green initiatives in the state from local blogs getting the word out to green businesses, green home builders and homes, recycling programs, as well as, organizations designed to promote South Carolina agriculture and SC products. Surely you have heard the buzz on going green and if you want to start getting involved and doing your part, here are some tips to get you started:

• Turn

off your computer

Save energy and wear and tear on your machine by shutting down your computer when you are done using it and in the evenings before you leave work. You’ll save an average of $90 of electricity a year. The Department of Energy recommends shutting off your monitor if you aren’t going to use it for more than 20 minutes, and the whole computer if you’re not going to use it for longer than two hours.

Profiting On The Green Movement - Continued

• Ask

your power company

- More than half of all electricity consumers in the U.S. now have the option of purchasing green power from their local utility. Find out how you can purchase green power by visiting the Department of Energy’s state-by-state list of providers. You can also check with your own utility to see what’s available. Palmetto Clean Energy is a local South Carolina green energy program http:// www.palmettocleanenergy.org/ default.asp about green energy

• Keep

sensible tabs on

your thermostat

- It is to your benefit to pays to pay close attention to your thermostat, since most South Carolina households spend 50 to 70% of their energy budgets on heating and cooling. For every degree you lower the thermostat, you’ll save between 1% and 3% of your heating bill. Do the same thing in reverse with air conditioning.

• Wash

your clothes in

- An easy way to clean green is to turn the dial on your washing machine to cold. Most laundry loads do not require hot water, and 90% of the energy used by washing machines goes into heating the water. The higher the water temperature, the higher the cost to you and the planet.

cold water

• Enroll

in online billing

- Save natural resources, as well as late fees, by registering with online bill-paying options. Paperless billing not only saves trees; it also reduces the fossil fuel needed to get all those billing envelopes from them to you and back again. Plus, you’ll save money on stamps.

• Get

rid of junk mail

Approximately 100 million trees and 28 billion gallons of water are used to send junk mail to Americans annually. You can eliminate 75% of unsolicited mail by registering on the Mail Preference Service on the Direct Marketing Association website (for a fee of $1). Within 90 days, most unsolicited mail will stop.

• Print

on both sides of

- Most software programs give the option for double sided printing, but yet most still print only on one side of the page. Consider this: the U.S. alone uses 4 million tons of copy paper annually, about 27 pounds per person. Save dough and South Carolina landfills.

paper

• Carpool! - If your commute

to work is 25 miles each way and at least half is in typical stopand-go traffic, you’ll save roughly 10 percent of your monthly carbon emissions by carpooling. Not to mention saving money on gas!

• Buy Certified South Carolina produce - The

Certified South Carolina program is a new, exciting, cooperative effort among producers, processors, wholesalers, retailers and the South Carolina Department of Agriculture (SCDA) to brand and promote South Carolina products. Our goal is for consumers to be able to easily identify, find and buy South Carolina products.

Barter Is Smart Business Barter is a form of trade where goods or services are traded for other goods and/or services, without cash being exchanged. Barter normally replaces money as the method of exchange in times of monetary crisis, or when the currency is unstable and devalued by hyperinflation.

What Are The Benefits

of

Barter?

Barter Can Bring New Customers: This enables you to expand your market and maintain your cash-paying customers. Barter Conserves Cash: Barter generates new customers because buyers are encouraged to pay with their products or services and save cash. Simply put: If you had to make a purchase for $1000, would you rather write a check or pay with an equal amount of your product/service at its normal selling price to a new customer? Most businesses prefer to barter and keep cash. Cont. next page

rate with the tax advantages of a mortgage, and you have an incredibly cheap way to build wealth, but you better act now.

Time to Refinance Buy !?

or

Right now, mortgage rates are at their lowest level since 1971. Think about that. Twenty-five years ago, homeowners were paying as much as 18% on a 30-year fixed. Today it’s just a little over 5%.Combine that

Real estate guru Barbara Corcoran has already seen a tremendous surge in refinance applications – more than triple the average – and the number of people getting approved is astronomically higher as well, she says. But that doesn’t mean the low rates are a panacea for the ills of the housing market. It is only once home prices start to go up that we will finally see a light at the end of tunnel, Corcoran says. Until that happens, we are still going to have to crawl out of this mess. “[Low interest rates are] a not a lifesaver,” Corcoran says. “This is just a helping hand.”

David Kittle, chairman of the Mortgage Bankers Association, has this advice to homeowners looking to refinance: Do it. Don’t get greedy searching for another quarter-point. Lock in rates now. He is seeing applications soar over 125% just since Thanksgiving due to the low rates. Of course, you should only refinance if it saves you at least 3/8 on the rate and if you plan on staying in your home for at least four years, Kittle says. Along with good credit, proof of income and money by means of a down payment or equity in the home, there are certain things every homeowner needs regardless of interest rate levels.

A One Tank Trip Got the vacation blues? South Carolina abounds with destinations you can visit on one tank of gas…trips that showcase the Palmetto State’s beauty without busting your budget. What a rich, exotic place South Carolina is. One of the original American Colonies, the state has an abundance of historical sites that bring our nation’s past to vivid life. The outdoors lover can enjoy a variety of activities such as kayaking, hiking, saltwater fishing, even scuba diving in the company of alligators. The state’s culture has been shaped by its European, African and Caribbean settlers, as evidenced especially by the food, which is some of the most delicious we’ll ever have the pleasure of eating.

Hilton Head Island

Beaufort

One of the most famous Islands in the world is at our back door. Hilton Head Island is an optimum place to begin a One Tank Trip through South Carolina. Hilton Head, whose 70-square mile area gives it the distinction of being the second-largest barrier island on the East Coast. This incredible golf resort community features a multitude of activities to keep families well-entertained, such as kayaking, dolphinwatching cruises and fishing charters. For more land-based vacation fun you can rent a bicycle and take a cruise along the beachfront trails, or play any of the twenty-four golf courses located on the Island. Or maybe you just want to sit and watch the azure-blue waters. Whatever you’re looking for, Hilton Head is your one stop for relaxing entertainment. Outdoor activities and water sports are plentiful, and the relaxed, carefree atmosphere takes us away from the stresses of city life the moment you arrive.

Known as the “Queen of the Carolina Sea Islands,” and just down the road from Hilton Head Island, is the splendid Southern town of Beaufort. Just take the US-278 northwest to state highway SC-170, which brings you to Beaufort. The town’s historic homes and peaceful way of life will make your visit to Beaufort seem like a step back in time to the quieter, simpler, days of the historic Old South. This isn’t meant to imply that Beaufort is stuck in the past – far from it. The town is host to many contemporary art galleries and golf courses, and the adjacent Parris Island Marine Training Camp is one of the most sophisticated military training centers in the United States. Truly, South Carolina offers visitors a chance to enjoy the modern age while giving a glimpse into our nation’s past; it’s the perfect place to enjoy the best of all possible worlds for just One Tank of gas!
