What’s new in the field of taxonomies? I am asked this question following my attendance at the two-day Taxonomy TRAINING conference (October 31 – November 1, Washington, DC), the only conference dedicated to information management taxonomies. There isn’t a great deal that is new in taxonomies actually, which is OK.
We actually don’t want anything significantly new in taxonomy design, because taxonomies serve users with predictable, standard methods of navigation. For example, the nontrained user can understand a screen of broader and narrower conditions. Taxonomies have actually been around a lot longer than most people realize (and I don’t imply the Linnaean taxonomy of living microorganisms).

Taxonomies now, however, are turning up in more and more places. It was good to have a display at Taxonomy TRAINING, its first perhaps, that dealt with taxonomies for managing image files (known as digital asset management or DAM), than just text-based documents rather. Additional applications of taxonomies would be welcome topics at future TBC conferences. The switch in arranging Taxonomy TRAINING using its co-located meetings KM World, Business Search Summit, and SharePoint Symposium from pursuing those three conferences to preceding them appears to signify a change in perspective, too.
Taxonomies are no more seen as just an add-on field of expertise, but rather a simple system that information experts need to comprehend as an element of knowledge management, search and SharePoint implementations. Finally, the spread in adoption of taxonomies is indicated by the fact that Taxonomy Boot Camp for the first time included both a basic and a “Beyond the fundamentals” track for one of its two days. More taxonomies are set up and there are more people experienced in taxonomies, that more complex topics now can have their own audience. Despite compelling speakers in the consecutive basic track, the advanced sessions were well attended.
But, you can make sure that your customers are listening! Ok, now you know some answers to “how can a business grow?” And these strategies won’t cost an individual dime. Do this and I guarantee you’ll be way, way, way before 80% of the businesses in your market. Just like we’ve all experienced unbelievably horrible customer service from other business owners, we’ve also experienced wonderful customer service. Customers remember great encounters.
They return and present you more business. You have a choice each and every right time a customer enters your establishment. That power is something that economic changes can NEVER take from you away. I am hoping you take this to heart because if you become one of the few businesses locally who demonstrates how much you care for your visitors, then you’re bound to be seen! You’re now ready for some “next level” marketing strategies (that are also inexpensive and often free to apply). In a future article, I’ll go into more detail. Until then, visit my website (see bio section) for further articles and free training.
Service B is much better from that point of view. You find and guide the right tenant Here, prepare the paperwork, you book them into the property, and you also manage it on a continuing basis then. Which means collecting the rent forever, every month for doing so and a fee. Some tenants stay static in the same property for twenty years, more than you may think.
All you have to do is check the property occasionally, and generally oversee that the letting is running smoothly and satisfactorily for both parties. Each month When you can keep increasing the amount of properties you manage, you shall see your fee total, your income, steadily rising. These regular fees shall also provide you with fallback income which is especially reassuring when times are noiseless. Think to your graph back again. Column 3 is for your competitor’s charges to landlords for finding a tenant only; column 4, their charge for ongoing management.
