Hello and welcome to the March edition of the Whitby Advertiser, the number one choice for advertising in Whitby and the surrounding district. I hope that you will enjoy this new edition of our magazine, whether you are a resident, business owner, visitor or holidaymaker to the area.March is certainly a busy day on the events calendar, starting with St David’s Day on 1 March, closely followed by Mother’s Day on 6 March, then St Patrick’s Day on 17 March and Easter Sunday on 27 March. Plenty of dates to remember! Don’t forget too that British Summer Time begins on Easter Sunday and clocks go forward one hour at 1am, making the evenings much lighter. Did you know that the idea of British Summer Time, also known as Daylight Saving Time, was introduced in 1907 by a man called William Willett? He wanted to prevent people from wasting valuable hours of light during summer mornings.As you can see from the following pages, we don’t waste any valuable time here at the Advertiser and fit in as much as we possibly can, so if you are thinking about something to do at Easter and need some inspiration, or you are looking for a gift for Mother’s Day, just browse through this month’s editions and you will find special deals on meals out, beauty packages and spa treatments to name just a few ideas.Our prize crossword continues to be very popular, with a record number of entries last month. Could your luck be in this month? Why not pop on the kettle, make a cuppa, put your feet up and have a go? It could then be you who collects a Made in Whitby lampshade from our sponsor Meadow on Skinner Street next month!Very soon, the Whitby Advertiser will be celebrating its 10th birthday. Now delivering 22,000 copies every month throughout Whitby and the surrounding district, we are the number one choice for advertising in the area. If you are a business and would like to advertise in next month’s edition, don’t delay – give us a call today and let us help you promote your business.Choose the best.

Our most successful business owners are those who educate themselves in how to run a great business. The only place earning comes before learning is in the dictionary. We all know that but how many of us actually really consider that principle when setting to work in our business each day? Isn’t it interesting that although we think we know something, we don’t act on it? I like to share with business owners the fact that when we say “I know”, we shut out minds down to learning new things. It’s only by keeping an open mind and really listening or observing, or reading, that we get what I call a “BFO” or a Blinding Flash of the Obvious. BFOs are the flashes of understanding or inspiration that can come to us when our minds are open to new learning. These BFOs might be only tiny but can make a huge difference in our business. It could be that you read a book on sales training years ago – “yeah! Read that. Know all that stuff” - but someone persuades you to re-read it with a more open mind. And suddenly, among all the pages, you realise the reason you haven’t been able to close the deal to your dream clients is because you give up the first time they say no. WHY LEARN NEW THINGS? People go into business for different reasons but many do it, either because they’ve been made redundant or because they thought they could do a better job of it than the idiot they used to work for. But many don’t do the essential learning about how to build a business. They go into business as a technician – someone who’s probably brilliant at what they do (baking bread, fixing cars, etc) but not an entrepreneur. When you start up your business, get learning! There’s so much more you need than just your particular skill, and that probably requires a high level of learning in itself. You need to know money mastery – how to manage your cashflow, what your

breakeven needs to be, setting a budget and reporting against it, knowing your numbers so you know the amount of sales and marketing activity required to hit your targets. What are your targets? You need to make the most effective use of your time – we all have the same 24 hours: what do you do with yours? How to keep your customers coming back, managing your margins, great sales and marketing, putting in systems, recruiting the best team for your business and then training, motivating and leading them … The list goes on. No wonder that so many businesses fail in the first 2 years. TIPS ON YOUR LEARNINGTake time to learn about each of the strategies you plan to implement in your business. If you want to use Facebook for marketing, take some time to find out how to use Facebook for maximum effectiveness. If you want to try out newspaper advertising, learn how to write one and then test it out in an inexpensive publication before splashing out a ton of money. Learn from mistakes. We all make mistakes. The most famous entrepreneurs have all made mistakes. The trick is to learn from them and move on without repeating the same mistake. Attend educational workshops and seminars for business owners – make lots of notes, ask lots of questions, listen carefully and expect some amazing BFOs! Above all, have fun with your learning and make sure you apply your BFOs into your business.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ONGOING LEARNING

I recently saw this article in a blog on the website “OnTheMarket.com” , the new agent owned property portal of which we are members. Check it out, it will definitely be worth your while.We try to get this sort of information to our clients whenever we speak to them so it was interesting to see how another agent put it across and I thought you would be interested too. This was from Edward Church, Strutt & Parker in Kent.“When it comes to selling your home, negotiating the right price is a task that can require experience, expertise and precision.Follow these tips to help achieve your home’s maximum selling price:Choose your agent carefully: “Not all agents are the same. They offer different reach and coverage, in different ways, with different people. Choose one that you can work with and who sells property like yours all day, every day. They will have the best list of buyers.”Establish a strategy: “Your chosen agent should work with you to try to achieve your goals. So work out what is important to you. Is time of the essence? Or do you need to achieve a particular price to deliver your goals? Do you need to be moved quickly? Or is the end of summer more convenient?”Give yourself realistic time frames: “Typically, the most interest from buyers comes in the first month of being on the market. If you haven’t had an offer, listen to your agent to work out if you need to drop the price. Don’t do this too soon, but similarly, don’t wait too long or the property might seem stale. Deals can fall through because sellers don’t adapt to a changing market.”Do the maths: “Ultimately, a house is worth what someone is prepared to pay. However, know the value of your property. If you don’t know what it is really worth, as opposed to what you hope it is worth, then how can your buyer know?”Know your market: “It’s not just buyers who should do their research. Use a mixture of property websites and word of mouth from local estate agents to find

out what the house next door sold for, as well as similar sized homes further afield. Don’t fall into the trap of comparing your price with other guide prices. You need to make real comparisons with sold prices. Simply asking 10% more than what you expect to achieve is a strategy that almost always fails.”Use your poker face: “If the house is worth £500,000, stick to your guns, play it cool and listen to the advice of your agent. Remember, the best poker players know when to fold and when to play out a hand – it is a game of skill based on knowledge of the odds and not a game of chance. Selling a house should be the same.”Consider your tactics: “The first offer might not be the best one. Always ask for an increased offer and wait. You have the property they want to call home. If the buyer is in a rush, use this to get the very best offer for your home. This is where a good agent really steps-up. But don’t be afraid to accept the first offer – make your decision based on the circumstances and on facts, not on your preconceived opinions.”Let the agent negotiate: “Sometimes getting personally involved becomes just that – personal. The agent will have done this hundreds, if not thousands, of times before and will have your best interests at heart – to achieve a good selling price with the best possible purchaser. You should have appointed an agent that you trust and respect, so listen to their advice and make sure to ask for it.”Find the right buyer: “Your agent has to inform you of all offers and will personally vet them all to measure their strength. They would have found out everything about the buyer and built up a rapport, even before negotiating. What they determine to be the strongest offer may not be the highest bid, but from a more committed buyer, such as a cash buyer not in a chain. You ideally want to avoid feeling let down by someone who is not in a good purchasing position.”Expect the unexpected: “Be prepared to constantly review your expectations. I sold a house earlier this year that had been on the market for three months with no offers. When we dropped the price by five per cent it went to sealed bids that week and it actually sold for the original guide price. Anything can happen, but the best things happen if you have a good plan and implement it well. Listen, adapt, and expect the unexpected.”

TALKING PROPERTY

Nat

with ASTIN’S ESTATE AGENTS

As we have been experiencing cold temperatures and snow showers it is hard to imagine that Easter is on its way, but Spring is just around the corner. At this time of year many start thinking about putting their property onto the market and we will receive many a phone call asking the same, solitary question: What are your fees for selling? Of course it is understandable that people would want an indication of what costs will be involved when selling their accommodation – but should this be the only question? The first step for any prospective seller is to find the right estate agent and this decision should be based on so much more than just price. As with most things in life the old saying applies - you get what you pay for. A cheap fee can often have a cheap service attached to it. If a property is not being marketed to its full potential, and therefore remains on the market for a long period of time, this can cost the vendor dearly in both time and money. So, here are some suggestions of questions you can ask in order to find the best possible agent for you:

WHERE DO YOU ADVERTISE?

Someone once said to me “All agents are the same. All you all do is put the details onto Rightmove” We would disagree. Relying on one portal is no longer enough. As well as the traditional ways of advertising, on the big property websites (Rightmove and Zoopla being the largest) and the local newspaper ect, successful agents are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to make sure they reach the widest audience possible. Social media should not be ignored many sales can be made off the back of displaying properties on Facebook and Twitter etc.. good quality photographs now need need to be exceptional to stand out from the crowd.

Videos can make a house stand out and here at Hendersons our interactive touch screen has been attracting a lot of attention. Times are changing and so should advertising.

WHAT ARE YOUR OPENING HOURS?

hitby is flooded by visitors over the weekends so it is important that the opportunity to catch the tourists who are wandering around the town on a Saturday and Sunday is not missed. The longer the opening hours the better.

HOW EXPERIENCED ARE YOUR STAFF?

Estate Agency in England is unregulated. In practice, this means anyone can work as a valuer or set up their own o ce, regardless of knowledge, experience or ethics. A good tip is to look out for the following initials: NAEA - National Association of Estate Agents and ARLA – The Association of Residential Letting Agents.

WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT TO OTHER AGENTS?

any people find it di cult to differentiate between one agent and the next as it may seem many appear to be making the same bold claims. Therefore, this is a great question to ask. If someone asked us this question here at Henderson’s we would proudly talk about our professional photography, our interactive touch-screen, late opening hours in the summer and very busy social media pages amongst many other things.

It is worth taking the time to research, ask questions and make sure you work with the right agent for both you and your property. It’s about so much more than fees.

Is your dog 7 years or older? Is your pet slowing down? Putting on weight? Smelly breath? Drinking a lot more than normal? Needing to urinate more regularly? When did your dog last visit the veterinary surgery just for a general health check?As our pets get older, different parts of their bodies start to slow down. Just like us, our pet’s metabolism gets slower and fitness levels decrease. For many pets this only leads to one thing; weight gain! For pets of 7 years or over we should be feeding them a calorie specific diet that is specifically for mature pets. Here in practice we have Hills™ Vet Essentials, which is a diet that is only available through vet practices. This food is a balanced diet to help preserve kidney and vital organ function whilst also providing a precise balance of minerals and omega-3 fatty acids for healthy bones and joints. We have Hills™ loyalty cards which entitles you to £5 off your first bag and your 6th bag free. You can pop into the surgery at any time during our opening hours to buy Hills™ food or use our scales if you would like to keep an eye on your pet’s weight. Dental health can also be a concern as plaque and tartar builds up on and around teeth. This not only has consequences to the teeth and gums but can

also cause problems to the heart and kidneys. If you are at all concerned about your pet’s dental health then please get in touch as we offer a FREE dental health check with our nurses here in the practice.As our canine friends get older, the liver and kidney function can also slow down. Kidney function can be tested quite simply by a urine sample. At the moment we are offering urine samples for senior pets at a much reduced price of £2. Also by taking a simple drop of blood, we can test the function of both the liver and kidney. We can test the blood the same day in our laboratory here in our practice, which means we can get the results back to you very quickly. We are also offering a senior pet blood screen for only £15. Noticing signs of these organs slowing down sooner means we can help your pet a lot faster.If you are concerned and some of the above sounds familiar to you, then please don’t hesitate to call the practice for an appointment for a FREE nurse senior health check on 01947 820333. If possible please bring a urine sample with you..

Donkey Trod Ghosts

On a misty winter’s night, one of the creepiest parts of Whitby is surely St Mary’s graveyard at the top of the 199 Steps. Both the stone staircase and the steep Donkey Trod which runs alongside it suffer their own fair share of sinister spooks.As mentioned elsewhere, the Trod and the churchyard are a favourite haunt of The Barguest Hound. The infamous Barguest Coach is also known to clatter down the cobbled hill. The coach is an old fashioned covered carriage drawn by a team of headless horses, bearing a cluster of strange passengers ‒ the animated corpses of dead seamen, summoned by their drowned fellow sailors to join them beneath the sea. The ghostly carriage is raced down the winding hill at break-neck speed, takes a hair-raising right onto Henrietta Street then crashes along on past Fortune’s kipper house. The horses race on and plunge over the cliff tops, dragging the carriage with its freshly claimed souls into the foaming sea below. Another, slower moving crew, also bearing the dead, is sometimes sighted working its way up the steep trod from the direction of the two taverns at the foot of the hill. The Donkey Trod was made originally for the sole purpose of getting coffins up the hill to the church for funerals and a safe burial on hallowed ground. In the early 1800s, outbreaks of deadly diseases, including cholera, were common in Whitby. Cholera was a strange and rapid acting sickness, claiming many lives. People would be fine on an evening, stopping for a chat and a cup of tea with their neighbours but by next morning they would be stone dead, having suddenly dropped ill and perished in the night. The strangeness of this disease is recorded in Shaw Jefferey’s wonderful, archaic book, ‘Whitby Lore and Legend’. Jefferey comments:“People dying on the west side of the river were often ferried over for burial; others were carried by strangely clad and cloaked men smoking long clay pipes, fortified within and without against the plague. These funerals mostly took place at night. The coffin was taken up the hill on a cart pulled by donkeys. A man named Underwood is said to

have been buried alive in the graveyard there. The bearers, when asked why they did not stop and open the coffin upon hearing movements and cries within as they ascended the trod, crossed themselves and replied, ‘Because he was already gone and nailed down safe. Once safe in he weren’t not to be never let out.’ Underwood’s death was a grim tragedy of primitive superstition.”Underwood’s ghost is said to have tormented the coffin bearers thereafter, frightening them to death or driving them to suicide. They too have become spectres, ever condemned to wander on the cobbled hill with their coffins, carts and donkeys.These strangely dressed, pipe-puffing ghosts are most frequently sighted on chilly February nights, for it was in this month that Underwood was ‘ascended’. It is said that if you pass the bearers while making your way up the hill they will offer you a lift on their slow moving cart. But despite the burning pain in your legs or your shortness of breath, you must refuse them. If you do accept the lift you will gradually be overcome by the sweet, pungent fumes that coil from their pipes. You’ll find yourself light-headed. You’ll drift and be drawn away into a pleasant, dreamy sleep. Sometime later you’ll wake suddenly right there in the church yard, lying paralysed in a wooden box beside a freshly dug grave. The lid will descend. Blackness will envelop you. Your cold, dark coffin will be lowered into the silent earth. Like poor, pitiful Underwood, you too will be buried alive! Your destiny thereafter will be to haunt The Donkey Trod until Doomsday as yet another one of the legion of Whitby’s un-dead.Mark our words now - if the coffin-bearers do offer you a lift, just pass them by in silence with a polite smile. Make your own way up that steep, winding hill. Hurry on up to safety, no looking back. Hurry your way up there, just as fast as you can...
