Who hasn’t told me about Facebook advertising, marketing and networking – and a lotof it virtually FREE?!?!? Procter & Gamble, the world’s largest marketer, apparently hasn’t been utilizing one of the most well known social mediums today.. Facebook.

At my company we take full advantage of as much free advertising as we can possibly muster. That being said, I find it astounding that these larger companies haven’t utilized sites such as Craigslist or Facebook. CEO Robert McDonald “seems to have woken up to the fact that he cannot keep increasing P&G’s ad budget forever.” In the past two years P&G’s increased their ad spending by 24% (as of October 2011) but within this same time frame sales only increased 6%. This really shows you how social networking/advertising/free or virtually free on-line actions are impacting businesses….

When questioned about P&G’s staggering budget for ads, he simply replied “There are just so many different media available today and we're quickly moving more and more of our businesses into digital. And in that space, there are lots of different avenues available.” In my business practices, I take his word to heart, but with free website advertising! Why pay more to get your name out?

Mission Lake Condominiums is a quiet development located in the heart of Rincon Valley. Mission Lakes consists of approximately 100 units, built in 1989, tucked away under a canopy of trees near the intersection of Mission Blvd, and Sonoma Hwy (Hwy 12). The homes range in size between 700+ sq. ft. to over 1000 sq. ft. They are either one bedroom, or two bedrooms, with 2 baths. All the homes have a fireplace, and a covered unattached garage.

The complex is nicely landscaped, and in great condition. Tall mature trees provide shade in the summer time and add extra privacy along with splendid views. The complex has a large pool and plenty of parking.

In 2011 twelve of these units sold in a price range between $89,000 and $137,000. The median price was $115,000.

In this part of Rincon Valley, you can easily make your way to US 101, or drive east to Kenwood, Sonoma and on to Napa. A short drive out Calstoga Road will take you to the town of Calistoga and St. Helena, and by driving over Fountaingrove Parkway, you can be in Windsor in 15 minutes.

Rincon Valley is located in the northeast quadrant of Santa Rosa. It is close to world class wineries such as St. Francis, Ledson and Kunde. Two major state parks, Annadel and Sugarloaf, are a few miles away. Two major county regional parks are located in Rincon Valley, Mt Hood, and Spring Lake.
