I聮m the founder of Cleret Yodny Cajuste Jersey , maker of the coolest looking squeegees on the planet.
It all started in 1986 when I let this big burly contractor talk me into putting fancy clear glass shower doors in my brand new bath - BIG MISTAKE!
After bathing, there were all these unsightly water spots on my new glass showerdoors and puddles everywhere. And then it started to mildew and turn green and stink. My bath looked horrible, and it looked (and was) dirty all the time. To combat this, I began to wipe down my bath after each shower with my bath towel. But by the end of the week I had a mountain of towels piled nearly to the ceiling in corner of my bath. Ugh!
I was at a loss as to what to do. Then one day it hit me: a squeegee聟in theshower! A couple of quick swipes right after bathing and it was bye, bye ugly water spots and grunge. But unfortunately Damien Harris Jersey , because I had to leave the squeegee in the bath so I would remember to use it, it was also hello UGLYsqueegee in my dazzling new bath. The contraption gave my bath a neo-janitorial look, I suppose, and that just wasn聮t the statement I wanted to make.
I got to thinking one day, 聯What's a guy like me doing with an ugly squeegee in my bath? I'm a little more hip and stylish that that. Why don't they make something that looks better??Well Chase Winovich Jersey , the cruel reality was that they didn't. I looked everywhere: bath stores, hardware stores, department stores聟but I found nothing! Then it dawned on me, why not go to some trendy product designer and have them design something, you know Joejuan Williams Jersey , cool looking. Something ergonomical. And so I did!
Before I went to the designer, I talked with as many women as I could to help me with squeegee colors, shapes, sizes and so on. They flooded me with super ideas that I would never have thought of as a guy with not-very-developed sense of design.
Well, the result of my work with all those neat women who provided me with tons of ideas was the amazing N'Keal Harry Jersey , award-winning Cler茅t bath squeegee. It was selected as the best designed new Consumer Product by the Industrial Designers Society of America. And the next time you are at The Smithsonian, you can find it on display in the Permanent Design Collection. No other squeegee in the universe has been so honored.
In the beginning, we made just fancy bath squeegees, but now we make squeegees for use on windows, mirrors Jarrett Stidham Jersey , cars, boats, kitchen counters, and even horses (yes, it聮s true!).
Well Sony Michel Jersey , there you have it, the Cler茅t story. I still can't believe I left that cushy corporate job to make squeegees. But it's been worth it! Now I get to read all those nice letters and e-mails from folks around the world who have discovered just how much fun squeegee-ing can be .... with a Cler茅t squeegee that is!

Have you ever seen colleges like IITs, NITs, IIMs involving into intensive marketing and branding campaigns? Wonder what can be the factors to identify good brands and to identify colleges surviving on marketing:
1) Frequent ADs on television: TV air time is so expensive, it will reflect on high semester fee. Students will have to bear the massive cost of branding activity and marketing expense.
2) Direct Calls from Colleges Universities: If you receive direct call from any college or University Tom Brady Jersey , you should be alert as reputed colleges do not go door to door. Reputed colleges have their own importance in the market.
3) Teachers as Admission Agents: Now it is becoming very common to use teacher as a admission agent. During summer break, they use teachers as their admission agents. Careful observation will reveal that most of the colleges have given stiff targets to teachers to induct students. One can imagine the quality of teachers who involve in marketing campaigns, outstation tours, giving and taking commissions for admission. This is another trait of colleges that run education as a business.
4) More than one campus: It has been observed during past 5-10 years that many education groups are rapidly creating infrastructure in various cities. They thrive on either subsidized cheap land in far flung areas. Colleges are investing on real estate rather than on faculty development. There are quality issues reported by students in various forums particularly from non-main campus. Since there is no organized way to raise voice against the pathetic state of colleges, the forthcoming batches students easily fall prey to them.
5) Colleges-turned-into-Universities: This is another category of colleges who become independent by becoming University. Have you ever wondered that most of the students in private Universities pass with high scores? If there is no strict control of a strong governing body on day to day operations Julian Edelman Jersey , colleges Universities are bound to become independent to the extent of getting corrupt. Students who could not score even 5% marks in national level tests graduates with laurels from private Universities.
