5 Top Tips For Buying A New Car In Australia

05 Sep

The current economic climate is definitely taking its toll on the car sales market in Australia, as well as around the world. So why not take advantage of this unfortunate situation by purchasing a new car? Car companies and their dealerships are well aware that they cannot demand the same high marked-up prices for their vehicles, and therefore, the best time to bargain hunt in Australia for a new car is now. So where do you start?

Here are our top 5 tips to help you get the best deal possible during these tough economic times:

1. Set Your Budget
Before you jump into your car search, first you must decide the maximum amount that you are willing to spend on a new vehicle. There is always room for negotiation when it comes to car dealer’s prices, especially in Australia’s current economic climate, so you may not spend as much as you are prepared to pay, but do stick to your budget. Prepare yourself for the chance that you may have to walk away if the salesman will not take your offer, but with a bit of luck, the salesman or their manager will be calling you up in no time to meet your terms.

2. Study Up
Once you have set a budget for your car purchase, it is time to decide what cars would be within your budget (or a little over, within reason). Once you have decided upon some models and makes that you are interested in, use the internet to your advantage and do some research online. This way, when you go into an Australian dealership or speak to the vendor you are in a strong position to haggle. Look to see if there are any similar vehicles for sale elsewhere and see how the prices compare. Even if you are buying a brand new car, the dealer will have room for negotiating the price.

3. Get Serious about Buying
Australian dealerships and their salesman will work much harder if they think they are going to get a signature, so let them know you are there to buy a car if the deal is right. However, don’t come across as desperate to buy as this could reduce your chances of picking up a bargain. Try as hard as possible to play it cool, and as aforementioned, be prepared to walk away if no agreement was met- this does not mean the deal is over.

4. Get More for Your Trade
This may be the most difficult of the five steps to achieve, because even though the current recession in Australia places the buyer in the driver’s seat (no pun intended), the sellers are working at a loss majority of the time. Trading your current vehicle at the dealership is the simplest option, but it is usually the best way to get the least amount of money in return. You will definitely get more money out of your vehicle if you sell privately; however, if at all possible, the best option of all may be to hold on to your car until the market gains strength again so that you can sell with a smaller loss.

5. Shop around for finance and extras
If you are planning on financing your new vehicle, be sure to not be lured in by any attractive finance offers and stick to negotiations over the sale price instead. Do not just focus on your monthly payments, but instead focus on the cost of the vehicle over the term of the loan as well as the terms of the loan. Along these lines, do not be lured by extra incentives such as insurance coverage included or breakdown coverage, as these “extras” sometimes come with an extra amount of money over the term of your repayment as well.

So stay smart, play it cool, and be wary of extras and special deals, and you should be on your way to finding the best deal possible on your new vehicle today!

Breast Cancer Merchandise Australia

05 Sep

For breast cancer and prevention, it has long been known that regular physical activity has been shown to decrease the likelihood of having breast cancer. Breast Cancer Merchandise AustraliaWhat has not been known or studied has been the effect of regular physical activity on the breast cancer survival rates or likelihood of death in women that already have breast cancer. That is, until now.

The breast cancer statistics and findings as reported by the American Medical Association’s Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in May 2005 were astounding! Certain participants in the study of women with Stage I, II or III breast cancer achieved a 50% reduction in the death rate from breast cancer.

Here are these breast cancer statistics: the journal reported that in the study 2,987 female registered nurses had been diagnosed with breast cancer during the years 1984-1998. What the study found was that the women who had physical activity equivalent to walking at a steady pace of 2.0-2.9 miles per hour for 3-5 hours a week had a death rate of only 50% of the death rate of women who had physical activity equivalent to walking less than one hour a week. The conclusion of the breast cancer statistics in the study was that physical activity after breast cancer has been diagnosed may reduce the risk of death from breast cancer. The study found that there was little evidence of any relation between increased physical activity and increased benefit.

It’s time to dust off those walking shoes!

Lung Cancer Secrets Revealed Click here

As a physical activity, walking can be done almost anytime by anyone anywhere. All that’s needed is a good pair of walking shoes. Walking is fun and reduces stress. As for injuries, walking has the lowest injury rate of all the various kinds of exercise.

You can walk with a partner, friend, family member or dog, maybe even a neighbor’s dog. Or you can walk with your favorite headset and music. If you are walking outdoors with a headset, keep one ear open to hear the sounds around you.

As for basic walking tips:

· As you begin regular walking, take it easy. Standard advice is to check with your physician before starting any exercise program. If it’s been years or decades since you walked regularly, perhaps you can begin with 5 minutes of walking and slowly increase your time and distance.

· Walking at a pace of 75–95 steps a minute will have you walking at a speed of about 2-3 miles per hour.

· Walk with your head up, looking out in front of you. Do not walk looking down right in front of you except to navigate any obstacles.

· Really take it easy the first 5 minutes of walking to warm up. Afterwards, gently stretch for 5–10 minutes while your muscles are warm.

· Practice good walking form. Your arms should swing naturally in the direction you’re walking, not from side to side across your body. Your foot should strike the ground on your heel, then a rolling motion forward toward the ball of your foot, then pushing off with your toes.

And here are some basic walking shoes tips:

· Buy your walking shoes from a sporting shoes store with large selections. That will give you plenty of choices. And buy your walking shoes later in the day when your feet will be larger.

· Buy cushioned, supportive walking shoes. To see if a shoe is supportive, do this test — take a shoe and turn it upside down. Holding each end of the shoe, try to fold it. If you find the shoe bends in the middle, then that shoe is not a supportive shoe. A supportive shoe should bend where your foot normally bends, near your toes.

· You should allow the width of your index finger between the end of your shoe and the end of your longest toe, or about one-half inch.

· Buy two pairs of walking shoes, one for home and one for the car or workplace. And if one pair gets wet, you can use the other pair that day.

Walking is the closest thing to the perfect exercise. In today’s fast-paced society, regular walking can be a welcomed break from the stress of the day. Maybe you’ll get to know your neighborhood or neighbors better. There may be walking trails you’ve never seen but wanted to.

Wherever and however you choose to walk, not only can the experience be fun, you’ll know you’re being good to your body in a variety of ways. Besides the incredible breast cancer statistics and findings of the breast cancer study, walking helps with weight control and bone strength, elevates mood, helps build and maintain healthy muscles, joints and heart. With so many great health benefits, why not get started walking today!

A Different Kind of Real Estate Crisis in Australia

05 Sep

The big story in most countries around the world is how they’re beginning to see daylight at the end of the tunnel in their real estate markets. Following the U.S. down a road of deflated prices and tough credit situations, most world markets are just now beginning to see improvement. Builders are forecasting new business, and existing homes are selling faster and at stable or better prices…mostly. But, it’s a tentative situation, and bears close monitoring to stimulate improvement and avoid a “double-dip” in prices.
But, then there is Australia. In years past, Australia had relaxed foreign real estate purchase rules. But, they were reimposed in 2008. While there hasn’t necessarily been aggressive enforcement of these rules, the trend is now toward strict interpretations and fast actions. The influx of foreign money, much of it Asian, into the Australian real estate markets is generating complaints from ordinary Australians that they’re being priced out of their own housing markets.

In Australia’s major cities, prices have been climbing steadily, especially in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. The country’s mineral exports bonanza is one contributor to this rapid growth. With the purchase of a $23 million property in November 2009 at auction, the Victoria state market accelerated, breaking through a weekly billion dollar sales barrier in March 2010. In an international survey at the beginning of 2010, Australia’s housing was the least affordable of six other nations, United States, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland. Foreigners are said to be bidding up prices in every area. One influence is the number of Asian children studying in the country, and their parent’s purchases of housing for them. Some analysts blame a lack of housing supply and government grants to first time buyers are partially to blame. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd had this to say: “We want to make sure that Australian working families are not being priced out of their own family homes. That is why we have acted in the way in which we have done. We want to make sure that foreign speculators are not going to force up prices for Australians seeking to buy their own home, buy their first home and we think this is the right course of action.” Violation of the rules is resulting in stiff penalties, including mandatory sell orders. Real estate agents are also being carefully monitored, with penalties to those found to be helping foreign investors to evade the rules.

Market Research Online Surveys Australia – How to Maximise Your Response Rate

05 Sep

Market Research Online Surveys Australia

Online surveys are undoubtedly the most cost effective way to gather important data such as customer satisfaction and employee opinions. But how do you maximise your response rate? This is a problem incurred by most businesses undertaking online surveys and there is much literature available relating to the topic, all with varying facts and figures in relation to what response rate to expect, techniques for increasing responses, what length of survey should be used etc. Market Research Online Surveys Australia

The simple truth is that there is no single guideline to follow when undertaking an online survey, as each survey has its own set of variables affecting its response rate. However, there are some common techniques used to enhance the likelihood that a potential survey respondent will complete your questionnaire.

Having undertaken hundreds of online surveys of customers, employees, businesses, membership groups and event guests, I began recording survey response rates and the types of key variables likely to affect them. The variables recorded were:

Whether survey invitations were personalised (i.e. Dear John Smith v Dear customer)
Length of survey (categorised into completion times of 1-4 minutes, 5-9 minutes & 10+ minutes)
If a reward/prize was offered
Whether or not the survey was sent to people with a known interest in the survey subject (i.e. job related, previous customer, linked to social interests etc.)

The figures shown below were derived from the data of 143 online surveys, which were completed by a total of 49,335 respondents. As a general process, potential respondents were contacted twice via email to encourage participation in the online surveys.

Please note that the majority of respondents had submitted their details to various databases or were customers of my clients; therefore, it is likely that they were aware of the brand/company prior to receiving the online survey invitation. People sending email invites to random sub-sets of contacts should not expect to achieve response rates as high as those listed below.

Taking into account the 4 variables and their options, there were 24 possible combination’s – this will make sense when looking at the dot-points below. The combinations with the 5 highest and 5 lowest response rates have been listed.

5 highest response rates

Personalised email & 1-4 minutes to complete & reward offered & respondents had a known interest in the survey subject = 45.3% average response rate
Personalised email & 5-9 minutes to complete & reward offered & respondents had a known interest in the survey subject = 40.1% average response rate
Non-personalised email & 1-4 minutes to complete & reward offered & respondents had a known interest in the survey subject = 39.8% average response rate
Personalised email & 1-4 minutes to complete & no reward offered & respondents had a known interest in the survey subject = 39.2% average response rate
Personalised email & 5-9 minutes to complete & no reward offered & respondents had a known interest in the survey subject = 38.4% average response rate Market Research Online Surveys Australia

5 lowest response rates

Non-personalised email & 10+ minutes to complete & no reward offered & respondents did not have a known interest in the survey subject = 8.2% average response rate
Non-personalised email & 10+ minutes to complete & reward offered & respondents did not have a known interest in the survey subject = 15.5% average response rate
Personalised email & 10+ minutes to complete & no reward offered & respondents did not have a known interest in the survey subject = 16.2% average response rate
Non-personalised email & 5-9 minutes to complete & no reward offered & respondents did not have a known interest in the survey subject = 19.4% average response rate
Non-personalised email & 10+ minutes to complete & no reward offered & respondents had a known interest in the survey subject = 19.5% average response rate

So what works best?

The above findings show some clear correlations between response rates and the variables affecting them. As a general rule, it appears that the following actions should ensure that you gain the highest possible response rate when undertaking an online survey:

Personalise your email invitations. People are more likely to respond to emails that address them by their name rather than ‘Dear Sir/Madam’, Dear Colleague’ or ‘Dear Customer’. If you have the names of potential survey respondents, use them! This is easily done using simple software such as Microsoft Word in a mail-merge format sent via your Outlook account. It links directly to your database, removing the burden of typing every single name into each email invitation.
Keep the survey as short as possible. In most cases, the shorter the survey – the higher the response rate. Obviously some online surveys need to be in-depth and cannot avoid being 10+ minutes in length; however, try to avoid asking questions that only gather irrelevant information. This is a common crime amongst survey developers when preparing questions for an online survey.
Offer a reward. Everybody loves getting something for free, so try and offer a reward when sending out online survey invitations. Some experts such as Kurt Knapton, Executive Vice President of e-Rewards Market Research, suggest that you are more likely to gain a higher response rate if you offer every respondent a small reward rather than a chance of winning a large sweepstakes prize. His study found that offering 4,000 people $2 each to complete a survey achieved a 19.3% response rate. Offering the same volume of people with an entry into a $2,500 sweepstakes draw only managed a 12.2% response rate.
Find contacts that are likely to have an interest in the survey subject. This is no scientific discovery, but response rates are always going to be higher if the potential respondent has some interest in the survey subject. Job satisfaction surveys always gain high response rates because employees believe that their answers will influence beneficial changes. Likewise, repeat purchasers of a particular product/service will undoubtedly have more interest in a related online survey than someone who has only used it once or never at all.

Adequate preparation is essential before deciding to Travel  Outback Australia. Prior to leaving, planning and preparation must be organised and do this well before packing your vehicle. Consider these travel safety tips for all persons travelling in your vehicle and other road users. The Outback can be very remote in some places between towns and extreme care must be taken. If possible travel with another vehicle.

Equipment Required  The camping equipment and vehicle and accessories you are taking must be in good working condition and suitable for the trip. Your maps should cover the entire area of the planned destinations.

Communications  For close range between vehicles a UHF ot VHF radio maybe used, carry an HF radio compatible with the RFDS. Mobile phones and CB radios will not usually work in remote areas. HF radios and accessories can be bought from communications shops.

Types of Terrain  Study a map to ascertain what types of roads you will be travelling on, sealed, main gravel roads or 4WD roads or tracks.

Where can fuel and water be accessed?

What is the best way for you – main roads or gravel  4WD roads

What will you use for navigation eg,. maps, GPS navigator

Is there an alternate route if necessary

Using Maps  Driving in the Outback can be monotonous with few landmarks  & signposts. Have a very detailed up to date map, especially if you are going on remote roads. Take note of your position on the map in case you need to confirm your position if needed.

The Weather  Be aware of the weather conditions for where you are going generally May to August are the best times to visit the Outback. If heavy rain occurs this may cause flash flooding and authorities may have to close roads.

How long do you have?  Before leaving work out how much time you have to be away. Workout your itinerary – leaving and approximate day your returning, where you intend to stay and camp, be flexible in your plans and only book a few days ahead. Occasionally you may be held up waiting for a fuel delivery, a vehicle repair etc. or you have found somewhere you want to stay for a few extra days.

Before leaving home notify someone of where you are going and when you intend to return. Also arrange to keep in contact with them or someone else at least once a week.

I have travelled around Central Australia and Northern Australia and seen many spectacular sights and have taken many photos which quite often feature the red earth or rocks, the green foliage and a beautiful blue sky.

How To Emigrate To Australia

03 Sep

Approximately 25% of those living in Australia at the moment were born overseas and more than 120,000 people emigrate there every year. It’s popular with those looking to move to a new country because of the opportunities and lifestyle on offer.

Those who emigrate there find that they can have a better quality of life and have more disposable income. It can boast some of the least expensive metropolises in the first world, even though it is also ranked as one of the top countries in the world for quality of life. In particular, Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne, rate highly when expense and quality of life are compared.

Australia is a hub of economic activity for the whole of the pacific region and work can be found across all industries. Equal employment opportunities exist for all.

Australia utilizes a visa system, which means that anyone who isn’t an Australian citizen should have a visa to reside there. Ethnic origin, race and nationality play no part in determining if you are eligible, though factors such as character, age, medical history, criminal records, and overstay risk, do.

Different visas are available to people who want to emigrate to Australia: working holiday visa; skilled independent visa; family visa; study visa; retirement visa. Which one you need is dependent on what you’ll be doing there and how long you plan to stay there.

To acquire a visa for emigrating to Australia, you must apply to the Department of Immigration and Culture and pay an application fee (which varies from program to program).

The time taken to process your application varies, though you can typically expect to be waiting 6-12 months. Should your application be refused, you’re notified why and where you can apply for a review of the decision, and the time limit for doing so.

It isn’t necessary to use a migration agent, though many prospective immigrants enlist the help of one. Their experience and knowledge of the visa regulations and the application process results in you getting your visa as quickly as possible, and almost eradicates the likelihood of an incorrect application being lodged.

Australia Zoo The ideal Sudy Tour Destination

03 Sep

Australia Zoo: A Fantastic Wildlife Realization

Very little would he realise it, yet his “out there” identity in addition to “can do” outlook would have him stirring a crowd anywhere he travelled. As the host of the Crocodile Hunter, Steve wowed people by the large numbers. A cut cheek, grazed knee or cut hand won’t slow the man down or prevent the man from conserving as many pets as probable. His foresight and advancement in captive treatment of Aussie native creatures has been setting a new benchmark for animals welfare in Australia.

The Humble Origins

Residing in a residence housed with risky snakes, lizards, injured birds and orphaned kangaroos had been standard to the Irwin family.

Bob was a known herpetologist whom had a love for lizards and venomous snakes and his Mum, Lyn looked after wounded and orphaned animals. Steve used to say his Mum is the Mother Teresa of wildlife rehabilitation! There has been not a space within their home that do not house a captured reptile or rescued animal.

Even in the past, Steve and his naturalist parents were Australia’s first Wildlife Warriors!

In 1970, the family made a life changing decision to move to Beerwah on the gorgeous Sunshine Coast, in Queensland. Tiny have they understand it, yet Bob’s desire running a reptile park could soon come true and be developed to the stunning Australia Zoo!

In 1973, the entrance in the Beerwah Reptile Park opened and displayed crocs, lizards, snakes and also several other animals the Irwin’s caught with their bare fists or rescued. The Animal Planet Crocoseum was the fulfillment of one of Steve Irwin’s lifelong dreams. It might be hard to imagine now, but just 4 decades before, Australia Zoo was nestled on just four acres. Smack bang in the middle of quiet Beerwah was the Beerwah Reptile Park constructed by Steve and his Dad, Bob. Every day, the car park would overflow with cars as Mums, Dads their children and pals wandered around the park in amazement.

He was a true blue Aussie bloke whose power and passion shone through in all he does.

It had been evident from the manner he held and mentored Bindi, just how much he loved turning into a Dad.

Australia says G’day to more <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);” href=”http://www.studynstay.com”>international students seeking accommodation and Study Tours</a>.<br /><br />With a reputation for high academic standards, a great climate, lifestyle and a safe and secure destination it’s not surprising that Australia is now the 3rd most popular destination in the world for international students and Queensland is now the 3rd largest export market in Australia.<br />

Want to travel to Australia with your Thai girlfriend?

02 Sep

If you are an Australian and you would like your Thai girlfriend to visit you on holiday there are several visa options available. These visa options allow your Thai girlfriend the chance to experience a short stay in Australia within given and specific conditions.

Some visa options are considered easier to apply for as they require less paperwork. As such we believe that the most useful and worthwhile choice for her visa application would be the Tourist Visa (subclass 676). However, please remember that whatever your choice is, it’s still your decision to choose which visa option is best for you and your Thai girlfriend.

The Tourist Visa (Subclass 676)

This visa is the most suitable if your Thai girlfriend wants to have a short visit to Australia. As long as the tourist visa application procedures are followed correctly, you stand a higher chance of success than with some of the more complicated visas.

This kind of Australian tourist visa is available for Thai women for three to twelve month stays. The length of stay is conditional according to case-to-case bases. There are single and multiple entry choices available that are valid for up to twelve months. At first application, the Bangkok Embassy will likely issue your Thai girlfriend a single entry Australian Tourist Visa for three-month visits which is also valid for three months. There are also standard issue multiple-entry Visa options available for twelve-month visas good for three-month stays on successive applications for Australian Tourist Visas.

When an Australian Tourist Visa has been issued to your Thai girlfriend, she must enter Australia any time before the Visa expires. The most important point here would be, your girlfriend must visit you while the Visa is still valid. The Tourist Visa allows you to go on holiday and vacation in Australia. This kind of Visa, however, does not allow your Thai girlfriend to work or study.

If the two of you have been good sticking to the “No further stay” condition and complied with the other necessary application requirements, your Thai girlfriend could have a longer stay in Australia on her next application.

The official application fee for the Australian Tourist Visa is $75 and is non-refundable even when refused. This means that you really have to be conscious and careful about filling up those application forms and completing with the set requirements.

If you don’t feel confident about filing for a tourist visa yourself, but you don’t want to pay the price of a migration agent there is a third option available. A service that allows you to apply yourself with the help of a migration agent is called an assisted DIY application service.

Remember every case is unique and no one can guarantee a visa, but with the right advice and some careful thought about your application you can increase your chances of making it a successful one.

Australian Visa Advice for your Thai girlfriend, partner or spouse.
