REALTORS® share updated home price data, homeowners’ wealth gain trends over the last decade, and a real estate forecast for the rest of 2023

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/iLFi4scvBfQ Given the ever-changing housing market, many Americans are questioning whether it’s a good time to buy or sell a home. Despite fluctuating mortgage rates and limited housing inventory, there are many reasons to consider making a move in the current market. In fact, according to the National Association of REALTORS®: • The national median home price in June was slightly less than the record high of nearly $414,000 in June of last year. Although existing-home sales saw a 3.3% decrease, home prices have held firm in most parts of the country. • While mortgage rates are significantly higher than last year, they are still considered historically low and have remained relatively steady. • Sales in the second half of the year should be notably better than the first half as job gains continue and more favorable mortgage rates are expected. • Existing-home sales are expected to increase by 15.4% in 2024. Moreover, homeownership continues to be a catalyst for Americans to build generational wealth. Over the past decade, the median-priced home in the U.S. gained nearly $200,000 in value, making the typical homeowner 40 times wealthier than if they had not purchased a home or remained a renter. An agent who is a REALTOR® can help you achieve the dream of homeownership and create long-term wealth and financial stability for your family. A nationwide media tour was conducted on August 15th, live from the 2023 REALTORS® Leadership Summit, featuring senior leaders from the National Association of REALTORS®.

YourUpdateTV

It's time to start thinking about the end of summer and all that comes with it. Even though back-to-school is on the horizon, there is still plenty of time to soak up the fun this summer and get the most out of these last few weeks. Recently, Lifestyle Expert Christine Bibbo Herr participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to share her top tips to get the most out of the last few weeks of summer. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/RIbFBorhS0g Staying Hydrated Summer may be winding down, but there are plenty of things we can do to help keep that summer feeling alive. For Christine, that starts with hydration, especially this summer, which has felt like one constant heat wave! Hydration is always important, but is critical during hot and humid weather, when our bodies tend to sweat out more body fluid. Proper hydration helps regulate body temperature, support brain function and mood. One great option to help are Ultima Passionfruit Electrolytes. Just pour into a glass of water and stir! They are perfect for summer hydration with 6 trace minerals to keep your body hydrated. They include 0 sugar, 0 calories, and 0 carbs, and work great with keto, low carb, and vegan diets. And the best part? They taste absolutely delicious. To find all of their great flavors, check out ultimareplenisher.com Tips for Outdoor Fun Getting outdoors, whether celebrating in the backyard with the family, going on a hike, or anything in between, is an essential part of summertime fun. But there is always one thing that can put a real damper on any outdoor fun: mosquitoes. Many people don’t know but when it comes to mosquitoes and even ticks, prevention is the best protection. OFF! Clean Feel is a fragrance-free, non-sticky repellent that is formulated with Picaridin, so it feels good on skin and won’t damage clothing. Insect repellent is most effective when applied before mosquitoes or ticks start to bite, so always remember to apply before your outdoor activities. OFF! Clean Feel repels mosquitoes for up to 8 hours, so apply after sunscreen, before you head out the door, and you can enjoy your summer fun without any pesky interruptions. You can find OFF! in local stores or online at OFF.com Summer Entertaining Summer entertaining is a huge part of summer fun, and with Labor Day around the corner, there is still time for great summer parties. And nothing says summer party like ice-cream cake. Ice-cream cake is always a go-to at my house for warm-weather get-togethers. Everybody loves it and it’s easy to stick right back in my freezer when we’re finished. My go-to is always the cakes from I Love Ice Cream Cakes, which you can find in your local grocery Bakery freezer case. Check out these delicious flavors! Here’s a yummy OREO Ice Cream Cake, a Carvel Strawberry Crunchie Cake, and I bet the kids will love this Carvel Cookie Dough Cake the most! Just go to ILoveIceCreamCakes.com to find these cakes and more near you. Maximizing Your Time This Summer Pool parties are always a big part of our summer fun, but cleaning a pool can be a tedious, back-breaking task, even though it’s important avoid the build-up of dirt, leaves, grime, and other messy particles. So, one big timesaving hack this year? Stop manually cleaning your pool and leave the work to the Aiper Seagull Pro cordless robotic pool cleaner. It systematically cleans the pool in just 3-hours, is completely cord, hose, and hassle-free, and reduces the workload on a pool’s filter system, making it more energy efficient. It’s a great solution for pool owners to spend less time cleaning their pool and more time working on their backstroke.

Helping End Pet Homelessness: Hill’s Pet Nutrition teams up with NBCUniversal Local for Month-long Clear the Shelters Campaign to Inspire Pet Adoption Nationwide!

YourUpdateTV

Since its inception in 2015, NBCUniversal Local’s Clear the Shelters campaign has helped more than 860,000 pets find homes and hopes to reach a new milestone this year - one million pets adopted. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/PJJWLdA2z5k Animal shelters across the country are in crisis as millions of pets are entering shelters but a growing number are not being adopted; In fact, more than 6.3 million animals enter shelters each year and in 2022 alone, 90,000 more cats and dogs entered shelters than were adopted. The Clear the Shelters campaign comes at a critical time as pet adoptions are slowing and shelters are facing extreme challenges with overcrowding and stretched resources. For more than two decades, Hill’s Pet Nutrition has focused on helping end pet homelessness through supporting shelter pet adoption, including its long-term support of the Clear the Shelters campaign. Hill’s Pet Nutrition is working to understand barriers to pet adoption and in a new survey of 1,500 pet owners, learned that high-quality photography is a simple, powerful tool in increasing a pet’s chance of adoption and reducing the time they spend in a shelter. Studies have shown that dogs with good adoption photos are typically adopted within two weeks, compared to 43 days for a pet with a poor photo. Quality photography helps showcase a pet’s true personality, create a deeper connection and inspire more individuals to consider adoption. 95% of pet adopters found photos to be important to the process. 7 in 10 online adopters considered a specific pet because of its photo. More than half of online adopters (58%) felt an emotional connection because of the pet’s photo. Hill’s is proud to team up with award-winning animal photographer and shelter advocate Sophie Gamand to offer simple but impactful photography tips anyone can use with their cell phones to help shelter pets put their best paw forward. To help pets find homes more quickly, volunteers are needed to help their local shelters with intake photographs of pets, as well as other activities ranging from exercising and socializing pets to administrative tasks to at-home fostering. Whether you donate, volunteer, foster, or adopt, your support matters. Together, we can create positive change. ● Adopt: If you’re ready to open your heart to a loyal and loving companion, visit HillsClearTheShelters.com to find a shelter near you. ● Volunteer: Shelters are in desperate need of volunteers. You can put your photography skills to good use by volunteering to help take quality photos of pets in shelters to help them find a new home faster. And even if photography isn’t your thing, shelters can also use extra hands. ● Donate: Consider donating at ClearTheSheltersFund.org where 100% of donations go directly to shelters and rescues in need. ● Foster: Open your home to a pet in need by providing temporary housing to help reduce overcrowding and help a pet prepare for adoption. Join the movement and make a life-saving difference for shelter pets everywhere by visiting www.hillscleartheshelters.com. Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com

Minuteman Press Franchise Review: Jim Sweeney ‘Talks Shop’ on Growing Sales With Booming Apparel Business in Houston, Texas

Minuteman Press International Inc.

Jim and Jane Sweeney are the owners of the Minuteman Press franchise in Houston, Texas for the last 29 years; they first joined Minuteman Press in June of 1994. Jim and Jane have done a tremendous job building their business over the years. Most recently, they have truly excelled in growing their apparel sales. Jim summarizes: “ The past 2 years have certainly been interesting. We are currently (as of July of 2023) running 30.5% ahead of 2022 sales, which was up 35% over 2021. It seems like the world (or our world anyway) came out of its 2-year long malaise in 2022.” In the below interview, Jim shares more specific details about his center’s booming apparel business and how he and Jane’s Minuteman Press franchise in Houston have accomplished such strong growth in their apparel sales. Their center is located at 1040 Hercules Ave (Clear Lake City); Houston - Clear Lake City, TX 77058. How have you grown your business in general over the past two years? Jim Sweeney: “During the early pandemic we pivoted to personal protection products, which naturally led to custom face masks. While Jane was busy actually sewing 1000 face masks, I was providing custom logo cloth masks to hospitals, medical offices, service providers, and schools. We sold about 40,000 custom masks during that time, and we either heat pressed them or sent them to a local screen print vendor. We also donated a lot of masks to schools, non-profits, etc. Finally, in 2022, our traditional printing was finally starting to climb back to pre-pandemic levels. Promotional products also grew as trade shows and marketing calls became more the norm. We also had a big spurt of large format work, but that actually slowed down a bit after that initial spurt. EDDM printing has also become a larger portion of our print sales. Once we registered as EDDM providers on the USPS website, we definitely saw a very large increase in direct mail in general. Business Card printing has always been big for us, and the addition of the Graphic Whizard slitter, cutter, creaser has made it even more profitable. Our marketing efforts consists of: heavy community involvement; direct mail postcards, especially this year with the Deal of the Month art provided by MMP corporate; SEO/SEM on the Minuteman.com website, and social media, specifically as it relates to Direct to Film Transfer sales.” How have you grown your apparel business? What have you done to get your apparel sales going? Jim Sweeney: “We really started getting serious about apparel about 8 years ago when we purchased a commercial embroidery machine. Then, about 5 years ago, Jane put together a great lobby presentation. This area features apparel, large format, and promotional items of interest. We added dye sublimation capabilities with the Epson F570, and then we added DTG printing for one- offs (we eventually sold the DTG printer). During this time, we were using a lot of screen printed transfers, mostly from 613 originals or FM expressions. The issue became turnaround time. It would take up to 2 weeks to receive those transfers, and then of course we had to press them. We purchased a second, and then a third Stahls’ heat press during this time. That is when we decided to move in to the Direct to Film (DTF) printing business. After going through several desktop converted printers to try to print our own transfers, about 2.5 years ago we purchased our first large format, dual printhead DTF printer and finisher. In addition to producing transfers for our in-house use, we have enough capacity that we sell transfers to other printers, screen printers, sign shops and Facebook Group/Etsy owners. We added additional capacity with a 4 head DTF printer in January of this year (we will most likely be adding a third printer in the third quarter this year).” Jim continues: “Wholesale Transfer printing is now approximately 20% of our monthly sales; we ship all over the country, with a daily capacity for printing thousands of transfers. Adding embroidery and our in-house t-shirt sales makes apparel approximately 30% of our monthly revenue.” “Concurrently with this growth in transfer sales, the embroidery business was taking off. We regularly receive orders for 10-50 polos or button-down shirts for embroidery. We landed a grocery store chain and 2 local hospitals, and the orders became 150-200 shirts at a time. This past fall we completed a $24,000 jacket embroidery order, and we just delivered $32,000 jacket order to that same client, a hospital. Of course, we use a trusted local vendor for larger quantities of jackets.” Jim adds: “Our apparel business continues to grow weekly with more, and larger, in-house turn-key t-shirt sales really ramping up.” What are 3 tips for other owners on growing their apparel business? Jim Sweeney: “1. We feel that the #1 thing that is continuing to drive our apparel sales, in addition to the wholesale transfer sales, is our lobby display. Several years ago, we put this display of apparel samples, promotional items, and some of our large format samples in our shop. Whenever a new, or even an existing customer comes into the shop, invariably they are drawn to this display. About 1 in 5 people who walk into the shop asks about something that they see on that display. We turn about 85% of those inquiries into sales. 2. It also helps that our CSR is very knowledgeable about all aspects of apparel, as she is about all of our products and services. Our CSR/production manager, our daughter Allison, was the store manager at our Galveston location (which we sold in August of 2022), and has worked in every aspect of our business over the years. I realize that not everyone can be this lucky, however, that does not stop you from training and providing your staff with the tools that they need to do their jobs well. SanMar has great apparel catalogs with swatch samples, and you can put together a simple apparel website using their marketing tools. Of course, it also goes without saying that everyone on your staff should be wearing logo shirts, to further showcase your capabilities. 3. If you have the opportunity, attend a local apparel industry trade show, an ASI show, and most especially the MMP International World Expo. Educate yourself, request samples, purchase a good heat press, start small, with your own shirts, then visit your current clients to show them your new capabilities. Apparel is a perfect tie in to all of the other services that our shops provide to our clients. Apparel sales spur printing sales, just like printing sales should spur apparel sales.” At least once or twice a year, this hospital does a bulk purchase of 430 t-shirts for all the staff members. The purchase might include jackets, rain jackets, backpacks, other specialty items, or t-shirts. We’ve provided $200,000 or more in just apparel and high-end promo items to the hospital in the last 3 years. This hospital then referred us to the hospital Can you provide an example of a client who has used you for apparel? Jim Sweeney: “One of our regular ordering apparel clients is a local specialty hospital. In addition to their hospital facility, they also own or partner with 15 other physical therapy centers in the Houston region. We started out providing them with the usual printing and large format products, then contracted with them to provide new building signage for each of the outlying offices, and then grew into apparel with them. We have them set up on 2 Stahl’s Spirit Sale websites. One of them is for employees to purchase branded apparel, and the other is for the hospital to purchase apparel for new employees. In addition to standard corporate apparel, each department has their own branded t-shirt. Is there anything else you’d like to share? Jim Sweeney: “Apparel is an easy sell. Wear your logo. Talk it up. Ask for referrals. Don’t be afraid of it just because you haven’t done it before.” For more information on Jim and Jane Sweeney’s Minuteman Press franchise in Houston/Clear Lake, visit https://minuteman.com/us/locations/tx/houston27/ Learn more about #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities and read Minuteman Press franchise reviews at https://minutemanpressfranchise.com Contact Details Minuteman Press International Chris Biscuiti +1 631-249-1370 cbiscuiti@mpihq.com Company Website https://minutemanpressfranchise.com

James Harden Celebrates First Anniversary of Launching J-Harden Wines

J-Harden Wines

NBA superstar James Harden is celebrating the first anniversary of launching J-Harden Wines by expanding distribution internationally, giving back to his fans around the globe, and elevating his support for female minority-owned businesses. Harden launched J-Harden Wines through a partnership with Accolade Wines in the summer of 2022 to make quality wine more accessible to all consumers. “I’m incredibly proud of what we accomplished in our first year of J-Harden Wines, starting with massive success in the U.S. and now expanding worldwide,” said Harden. “As a black-owned business owner, I want to make wine more available to all communities. I want people to know they can enjoy some of the finer things in life and do it at an affordable price.” Harden added, “As you’ve probably seen on TikTok and across social media, I’m literally doing cartwheels over the response we’ve seen for J-Harden Wines. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish in year two.” Harden recently wrapped up a tour of China, which joined the United States, Canada, Japan, Philippines, and Malaysia as countries that distribute J-Harden Wines. With Harden in the market for a series of appearances, China’s initial allocation of 16,000 bottles of J-Harden Wines sold out in minutes when it was released this week. J-Harden Wines plans to restock the supply in China to match demand. The success of J-Harden Wines internationally is a result of the momentum that Harden created in his first year in the wine business. He will visit with his U.S. fans during a visit to Houston’s Total Wine & More (2857 Katy Freeway, Suite 100) on Thursday, Aug. 24, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. J-Harden Wines and Harden will also support business grants for female minority-owned businesses, which will be given away at the Women’s Empowerment Brunch at Harden’s Thirteen Restaurant in Houston on Sunday, Aug. 20. J-Harden Wines will then participate in JH-Town Weekend, a series of fundraising events that support the Impact 13 Foundation, happening at the end of the month. “James has brought an elevated energy and enthusiasm to the wine industry through the launch of J-Harden Wines and its success over the last year,” said Enrique Morgan, Accolade’s Managing Director of the Americas. “We’ve accomplished so much together in a short period of time, and the response from his fans and our consumers has been incredible. We plan to continue making the wine more accessible in the United States and grow its distribution internationally.” Harden’s involvement in the J-Harden label goes far beyond an equity stake. Combining his love for fashion, art, style, and wine, Harden worked closely with the Accolade team to offer his input on the taste, look, and feel that matched his personality. Harden plays a significant role in the wine’s creative direction, design, and style. As a 10-time NBA All-Star and third-leading three-point scorer in NBA history, Harden continues to share his wine journey with fans across the country. Available in a California Cabernet Sauvignon, California Red Blend, and Prosecco, J-Harden Wines is available through leading retailers across the United States, including Total Wine & More, Kroger, Albertson’s/Safeway, H-E-B, BevMo!, and Target. Learn more at jhardenwines.com.

G MEDICAL INNOVATIONS WILL PROVIDE SERVICES TO VETERANS AND MILITARY PERSONNEL BY PARTNERING WITH RESILIENT SUPPORT SERVICES

G-Medical Innovations Holdings Ltd

Rehovot, Israel, August 17 th, 2023 – G Medical Innovations Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: GMVD) (“G Medical Innovations”), an industry innovator in comprehensive remote patient monitoring solutions, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, G Medical Innovations USA, Inc., has entered into an agreement with Resilient Support Services Inc. (“RSS”) to expand the health care and remote patient monitoring capabilities to U.S. veterans and military personnel. RSS is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business that partners with U.S. federal agencies and private sector businesses that are concerned with improving the medical care of veterans and the military community. G Medical Innovations’ innovative technology will help federal agencies and military personnel to better monitor and diagnose new onset cardiovascular symptoms as part of a growing need in virtual care. This will allow full access to near real-time patient information which will also be analyzed by certified cardiac monitoring technicians through G Medical Innovations’ own independent diagnostic testing facility. Available to both adult and pediatric patients, this cloud-based monitoring system includes a small, water-resistant monitor that patients will receive by mail or in person. Patient’s symptoms can then be monitored in near real-time from the comfort of their home. Those who experience unusual arrhythmias or other monitored symptoms receive immediate communication from providers, enabling greater access to care and, in some cases, earlier diagnoses of serious medical conditions. The use of the G Medical Prizma device will allow for state-of-the-art remote patient monitoring (RPM) in the comfort of their home. This care experience platform ensures that patients remain connected with their care teams through next-generation devices to improve clinical decision-making. The patients will be able to download the G Medical app and receive a digital health kit to measure biometric data in one single device. “We are excited to have G Medical Innovations provide their powerful technology and 31 test kits to those serving our country in veteran affairs and all military branches here and abroad. Innovations like this will help protect and improve the care of our veterans and military serving soldiers, now and into the future,” explained Robert Domenici, Lieutenant Colonel (USA Ret.)
