Top Wine Education at Fresno State

by

Sure, I know it’s a long way from Illinois to California’s Central Valley but for students interested in the wine industry, Fresno State University offers a one-of-a-kind education.

Fresno State Winery produces a wide variety of award-winning wines from the most popular and well-known of varietals such as Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, to up-and-coming varieties like Syrah and Viognier and to lesser-known wines that are made in small batches. Here, students get a Top Wine Education at Fresno State.

Fresno State was the first American university that received a license to set up, operate, and exploit a winery within the school’s overall educational programs.

Fresno State University’s Agricultural Foundation is funding and running the winery. The foundation is a recognized auxiliary organization on the school’s campus and it operates and manages also other agricultural enterprises to support the hands-on learning and training experience for the school’s students.

To gain admission to this extraordinary education option, applicants need to hold at least a high school or equivalent degree. If that’s a problem, students interested in the one-of-a-kind education can always register for a good online GED course and earn their equivalency diplomas.

Web Designing Techniques are really something that one has to take seriously. Most people in the world don’t know about the important role web design is playing these days.

1) Understanding the heartbeat of the people is the most important thing in web design. This is very important because any website is designed keeping in mind the people who visit them regularly.

Google Online Marketing Challenge

by

When I got into the business of digital marketing back in 2010, one of the Web’s promises to advertisers was that it could target messages to consumers in ways that television, radio, and print never could. So when you consider the Google Online Marketing Challenge – do it right!

I was never impressed with the way large advertisers used mass media to go after certain audience demographics without regard for context. The Web offered me a unique opportunity to show advertisers not only how to reach the right people, but how to reach them in the right place and at the right time.

A Mass Medium it Ain’t

Throughout my career as an online media planner, I’ve most admired the campaigns that have that magical combination of reaching the right people in the right place in the most appropriate manner. Yet as I surf the Web seventeen years after it has become a commercial medium, I find myself exposed to advertising messages that are irrelevant to my surfing habits and state of mind. This shows me that advertisers still don’t understand the Web’s unique targetability.

Why aren’t online advertisers taking advantage of the one-to-one marketing principles we’ve heard so much about over the past few years?
