When did you get involved in the removal<br />

industry? It was in 1990 in Vienna (Austria) when<br />

I got involved this business. In these times the<br />

moving and relocation industry was unknown in<br />

Hungary because of the communism. As borders<br />

opened to the West, we had to build it up the<br />

whole industry from basics. As one of the<br />

founders of Herber Hausner Hungary, I have spent<br />

more than 20 years in this business and have<br />

learned every aspects of it. From positions like<br />

packer, trainer, customs broker, move<br />

coordinator, operation and sales manager to<br />

managing director, I have got through of all steps.<br />

I am proud to have managed to achieve building<br />

up a well-organized company, bringing together a<br />

hard working and effective team, turning<br />

company figures from <strong>min</strong>us to plus, increasing<br />

company turnover with 60% and decreasing<br />

fluctuation to 0%. I am happy and grateful for all<br />

this enormous experience I have collected during<br />

these years. All this took me to found my own<br />

A Note from the Team<br />

The entire Global Exclusive Movers’ Network (GEM) team would like to present this very special<br />

edition of the GEM Movers’ Magazine. This issue is special for us as it marks one year since our inception.<br />

In these very fast twelve months, we have achieved a lot as a group. Our monthly magazine has,<br />

and always will, provide our members an important portal to showcase their moving services for free. As<br />

any medium-sized mover knows, advertising is both essential and expensive. Our team, when for<strong>min</strong>g<br />

our group, knew this all too well.<br />

We wanted to build a group that not only gives our members an exclusive group of partners<br />

around the world to work with, but also produce a high quality industry magazine where our members<br />

can advertise for free! This free advertising for all GEM Movers’ helps relieve the burden of advertising<br />

costs. From the start, we also didn’t want our members to be bogged down with extortionate membership<br />

fees. We designed a membership structure that is fair and where our members can quickly make<br />

a return on investment. Our belief when it comes to networking is commitment. In so many groups and<br />

industries, it is a revolving door of members co<strong>min</strong>g and going. In such an environment, it’s next to impossible<br />

to build solid business partnerships and more importantly, solid business friendships. We feel<br />

that our network framework keeps members and builds solid long term partnerships fast. Exclusivity,<br />

cost effective fees, advertising and incentives are key to what we believe in at GEM.<br />

Recently, we were delighted to get feedback from our first two founding members, who have<br />

also renewed their GEM Memberships (which is always a good sign). I would like to share their thoughts<br />

below:<br />

‘ Congratulations to you and the team on the completion of one year. The recent increase in the<br />

numbers of members is heartening to see & we look forward to connect with everyone in KL once the<br />

conference is scheduled. Thank you for the advertising, the newsletter is always interesting and we<br />

look forward to each issue.’<br />

Ram Shastry – B.R. Shastry Logistics LLP (Chennai, Mumbai, New Delhi and Kolkata)<br />

‘ Thanks for the great service for the year with the free advertising, the communications and also<br />

the network partners you have found’ Charles Dugas – ActivMoving (Paris and Lyon)<br />

This is actually very apt considering in last month’s edition we were talking about marketing our<br />

successes and we at GEM feel that our first twelve months has been a huge success and we look forward<br />

to the next year as we know with surety that it will be even better! We want to thank all of our GEM<br />

Movers for their support and commitment and we look forward to adding more to the group soon. We<br />

also want to thank our reading audience, which has grown hugely since July 2018. We have had readers<br />

share the magazine and introduce new readers. With this reading audience growing each month, it goes<br />

to prove how valuable an advertising tool it is for our members.<br />

In this month’s edition, we are going to follow on from the ‘marketing your successes’ topic and<br />

focus on Company Milestones. This is very poignant this month as it is our one year anniversary. If you<br />

are looking to expand your contacts and are looking for an exclusive platform to do this, then look no<br />

further! Global Exclusive Movers’ Network (GEM) is the group for you!<br />

U.S. Now Screening Visa Applicants’ Social Media<br />

Visa Applicants are now required to submit information<br />

about their social media to the State Department.<br />

This is part of a more extensive screening process<br />

of almost 15 million foreigners wanting to gain entry to<br />

the United States each year.<br />

This new requirement applies to almost all applicants<br />

for immigrant and nonimmigrant visas, including<br />

business or education. This policy follows a directive<br />

from the White House asking the State Department to<br />

use ‘extreme vetting’ in the interest of national security.<br />

According to the Washington Post, the new visa<br />

application forms list a number of social media platforms<br />

like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and require the<br />

applicant to provide any account names they have used<br />

on them over the previous five years. Applicants are also asked for all telephone numbers and email addresses<br />

they have used during the five-year timeframe.<br />

Canon Headquarters Relocating to Uxbridge, U.K.<br />

Canon has announced that it will be moving its headquarters from Reigate to Uxbridge within the next year. The<br />

multinational company has decided to move to ‘address efficiency improvements’ and outsource finance, business<br />

operations and customer service. This means that<br />

Canon’s UK and Ireland headquarters will now be at the<br />

same location as the company’s Europe, Middle East and<br />

Africa headquarters. Canon’s managing director, Yusuke<br />

Mizoguchi, said, ‘Given that the EMEA HQ has been based<br />

in the UK for many years, it makes strategic sense to seek<br />

out opportunities to create a more streamlined operation<br />

whilst increasing our overall competitiveness. Having<br />

a joint location will enable us to look for opportunities<br />

to share resources and run a more efficient organisation<br />

which will also create some broader group opportunities<br />

for some of our UK employees.’ This is a picturesque moving<br />

job for SquareOne Relocations to focus on!<br />

Moldova Moving Embassy to Jerusalem<br />

Moldova made an announcement that it will be moving its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.<br />

They will be the first European country to do this.<br />

Political unrest between three parties led to a<br />

brief suspension of the current President Dodon, to<br />

install Pavel Filip as president. During the short time<br />

he was in the position, he called for snap elections in<br />

September and announced that Moldova’s embassy<br />

would move to Jerusalem. Filip said the move was decided<br />

due to domestic difficulties and a land sale for<br />

the construction of a new US embassy in Moldova’s<br />

capital of Chisinau.<br />

Along with this move, Brazil and Hungary have<br />

promised to open diplomatic offices in Jerusalem. This<br />

sounds like lots of business opportunites for Infinity<br />

This financial behavior makes us, smaller businesses,<br />

more suspicious and we have to be more<br />

careful who we give credit to. Since we are not a<br />

private bank, I cannot afford to loan to other companies,<br />

especially when these multinational companies<br />

are so much bigger in size and market.<br />

Payment is the issue that affects quality as well,<br />

because these two go hand in hand. While everybody<br />

is asking for more and more pushed prices,<br />

they still want quality too. Well, this is just not<br />

working like that. I am very proud that MoveArtis<br />

pays the bills within 30 days! I think in this business<br />

environment, this is not a little thing.<br />

What attracted you to our new exclusive network?<br />

By joining the Global Exclusive Movers’ Network,<br />

I see new opportunities and possibilities to grow<br />

our businesses. It can also function as a great<br />

arena where all like-<strong>min</strong>ded movers can share our<br />

thoughts and experiences and help each other no<br />

matter which side of the globe we operate. It was<br />

very attractive that GEM Network gives exclusiveness<br />

to their members by selecting one company<br />

per city. In this sense, I am happy that MoveArtis<br />

can represent Budapest, Hungary in Central-Europe.<br />

This is a new journey that can help us learn<br />

new methods, extend our network and get in touch<br />

with new markets as well.<br />

freights usually to the harbor of Koper (Slovania)<br />

or Hamburg (Germany). From this point of entry,<br />

we take the containers via railway to Budapest ter<strong>min</strong>al.<br />

I also warn my partners how to avoid extra<br />

costs by being more attentive. The other thing that<br />

I usually suggest is to give my contact details to<br />

their clients. According to my experience, those<br />

clients who have the possibility to contact us at<br />

destination are more willing to give the order to our<br />

partners, because they feel safe having a contact<br />

point at destination.<br />

What has been the highlight of your career so<br />

far?<br />

I consider having my own company is one of the<br />

highlights of my career. I also feel very fortunate<br />

being in the removal industry, because of the people<br />

whom we move and moving partners I know.<br />

Many of my clients become friends and I think this<br />

is great feedback to our work.<br />

Outside of work what are your interests and<br />

hobbies?<br />

From spring to autumn I spend most of my spare<br />

time at my vineyard in the Eger area in the North-<br />

East of Hungary. I have a wine cellar named ‘Kőlyuk’<br />

that literally means stone hole. I love to make<br />

my own wine and invite my family and friends for a<br />

nice open-air cooking with wine tasting. My other<br />

hobby is playing the guitar since age 15.<br />

What would you like to say to your fellow members?<br />

I am happy to be part of Global Exclusive Movers’<br />

Network and look forward to cooperation. Think<br />

of MoveArtis when having shipments or moves to<br />

Hungary or Central-Europe. I also want to encourage<br />

all company leaders who are just thinking of<br />

joining the GEM Network to make a decision and<br />

be open for the global future of the moving and<br />

relocation industry.<br />

What do you look for in an overseas company<br />

before you agree to work with them?<br />

Well, business is nothing else but trust, therefore<br />

it is generally important for me to have an honest<br />

and fair approach to the business. My experience<br />

with overseas companies is that many of them<br />

are not familiar with the fact that Hungary is an<br />

inland country, therefore they need to bring sea<br />

Marketing Movements<br />

Market Your Milestones<br />

Celebrating milestones such as your 100th move,<br />

your fifth year in business, or office expansions can attract<br />

lots of positive attention to your company. These salutes to<br />

your success can show customers your experience and reliability<br />

without actually saying it. Clients will see these anniversaries<br />

as a sign that you are successful and a trustworthy<br />

mover. It’s important to use milestones to keep current customers<br />

excited and entice new customers to use your company.<br />

We have put together a list of ways to get your successes<br />

communicated to the clients.<br />

1. Post on Social Media<br />

Write on Twitter, Facebook,<br />

LinkedIn and Instagram, be sure<br />

to include images to catch people’s<br />

attention when looking at the post.<br />

Create a commemorative hashtag<br />

too. Frontline Relocations recently<br />

did this by uploading a video<br />

on Facebook celebrating their ten<br />

year anniversary. Brag about your<br />

achievement, so your customers and<br />

coworkers can see how great your<br />

company is!<br />

2. Update Your Website<br />

Display your achievements<br />

online! Put a banner on your homepage<br />

or add it to the ‘About Us’ section<br />

of your website. Potential and<br />

returning customers will be sure to<br />

see it when considering your company.<br />

3. Thank Your Customers<br />

Your customers are a part<br />

of why you are successful, so you<br />

should let them know you appreciate<br />

them! We recently saw this when<br />

Intermark won the Circle of Excellence<br />

Award. They posted a thank<br />

you to their customers on facebook<br />

regarding this award. You can take<br />

this further with customer appreciation<br />

promotions in the name of<br />

your achievement. Offer your repeat<br />

customers a discount on their next<br />

move or maybe a rewards program.<br />

For example: To commemorate our<br />

100th move, we want to show our<br />

appreciation to you, our customer.<br />

Use this promo code to receive 5%<br />

off of your next move with us! You<br />

can send hand signed thank you<br />

cards to show the love to your clients.<br />

Example: We never would have<br />

achieved this huge accomplishment<br />

without your support and trust.<br />

Showing your appreciation will<br />

mean a lot to your customers and in<br />

return, you can gain customer loyalty<br />

and reap the benefits from their<br />

recommendations to coworkers,<br />

friends, or family.<br />

4. Publish a Press Release<br />

Write about your milestone<br />

and the benefits it will bring to your<br />

customers. If you are celebrating a<br />

ten year anniversary, tell your customers<br />

in a press release, so they can<br />

see how experienced you are. You<br />

can buy space with your local media<br />

or send it to us! We would love<br />

to celebrate your milestones in the<br />

member’s magazine. You can even<br />

send this press release as an email to<br />

14 Global Exclusive Movers’ Network (GEM) | Network Magazine - <strong>Issue</strong> 11 | www.globalexclusivemovers.com


your customers instead or include it<br />

in your company newsletter if you<br />

have one. Share your big news and<br />

let your clients know your future<br />

plans for success.<br />

5. Create a Commemorative Logo<br />

Design a logo incorporating<br />

this important milestone. Be sure<br />

that anytime, someone sees your<br />

logo, they know you have accomplished<br />

something big. Brand your<br />

moving team with your milestones.<br />

Have uniforms with your triumph<br />

printed on the back. When they are<br />

working in the field, people will see<br />

this great advertisement and your<br />

current customers will appreciate<br />

you more. Bragging through your<br />

branding is a great way for everyone<br />

(employees, customers, and you) to<br />

feel proud of being part of something<br />

great!<br />

6. Sponsor a Charity or a Popular<br />

Event<br />

What better way to celebrate<br />

a goal you achieved than by helping<br />

others achieve their goals? Try to<br />

pick a goal that ties in with the moving<br />

industry, maybe one that builds<br />

homes for the needy or collects secondhand<br />

goods for families. Fun<br />

runs are also a great way to spread<br />

the word, donate to a good cause<br />

and keep company morale high.<br />

Give any employees that participate,<br />

branded T-shirts with your commemorative<br />

logo and accomplishment<br />

in plain view. Joining with a<br />

charity helps you spread the word<br />

with less work. It also shows potential<br />

and current customers that you<br />

care about the people in your community<br />

and want to celebrate your<br />

milestones in a positive way.<br />

Marketing your milestones<br />

is a necessity in this industry. It is an<br />

innovative and exciting way to show<br />

your customers that you are a dependable<br />

and professional mover. It<br />

instills pride in your entire team and<br />

creates unity within the company.<br />

Celebrate your milestones, but don’t<br />

forget to use them as an important<br />

marketing mechanism.<br />

GEM GIVES BACK...NEW CHARITY<br />

It is important to give back and GEM has continued contributing to GlobalGiving to<br />

support worldwide issues important to our members. The member’s committee has<br />

selected the Project of the Month to receive GEM’s donation of $20 per membership.<br />

Project of the Month:<br />

This month, your Project of the Month Club donation<br />

will support Lanta Animal Welfare’s Help Suffering Animals<br />

Get Medical Treatment project in Thailand. They<br />

rescue and<br />

provide<br />

medical<br />

assistance<br />

to injured<br />

or sick animals<br />

in<br />

their community.<br />

In<br />

addition to providing an immediate response to injured<br />

animals, Lanta Animal Welfare also creates educational<br />

program<strong>min</strong>g for children that teaches kids to<br />

love and care for animals.<br />

A Meesage from Lanta Animal Welfare<br />

Project leader Perley-Ann: “The news of being picked<br />

as Project of the Month gave everyone here at Lanta<br />

Animal Welfare such pride and honor to be part of this<br />

amazing animal rescue charity. And then to realize<br />

that such a generous donation will come to us left us<br />

speechless, overwhelmed and astounded. The support<br />

GlobalGiving has blessed us with gives us all so much<br />

motivation and courage to work even harder to continue<br />

to grow our medical reach, here in southern Thailand.<br />

We struggle every day, some days for too many<br />

hours, to help the desperate and suffering rescue animals<br />

that come into our care. And now with the overthe-top<br />

generosity of your Club, we will be able to save<br />

even more lives. Yes, we are tearing up. We thank you<br />

from the bottom of our hearts, for believing in us, and<br />

our commitment, to relieve the pain and suffering of<br />

the animals here in southern Thailand.”<br />

The International<br />

removals industry is a tough<br />

world for independent, medium-sized<br />

movers. GEM aims to make this world a little easier.<br />

Our team has been in the ‘networking’ business for a long time. Other industries that<br />

we have been involved have benefited greatly from the networking business. For example in<br />

the commercial logistics industry, founding networks provided platforms for freight forwarders<br />

to meet trusted partners around the globe. However, the general cargo networking business<br />

has now become saturated and over-run with networks. The same is true for the project<br />

cargo industry. Our team realized that the removals, relocation and mobility industry was<br />

being ignored when it came to networking. There were a handful of non-exclusive groups and<br />

some huge associations but no Exclusive groups. This is why we decided to form our group.<br />

Benefits<br />

As a member of the Global Exclusive Movers’ Network, you will receive:<br />

• EXCLUSIVITY!!!!!!!<br />

• A customized company profile page<br />

• Free Unlimited Social Media Exposure<br />

• Personal log-in to our members’ area<br />

• 1st Year special rate<br />

• Monthly competition and prizes<br />

• Members committee<br />

• 2 factor Member reward scheme (See rewards below)<br />

We take our members views and ideas seriously. That is why we have a special members<br />

committee. These committee members have their say in important network decisions<br />

and help decide on the direction GEM grows. This committee is made up of the<br />

first twenty founding members.<br />

This core team of founding members decide on event locations and<br />

competition winners. For the event location, this founding<br />

group choses three possible locations before it goes<br />

to a final vote where the other members<br />

help decide the final choice.<br />

Rewards<br />

Global Exclusive Movers’ Network (GEM) is happy to present our members’ reward<br />

scheme. This scheme is designed to reward our members for being active within<br />

our group. It will help grow the group and ensure that the network is active and beneficial<br />

to all members.<br />

into the group, they will receive a 200 USD discount on their 2nd year membership (2<br />

introductions per year cap). This 200 USD will be deducted from their 2nd year membership<br />

invoice once the company that they introduce has been approved.<br />

2. GEM activity bonus – If a GEM Member uses another GEM member for a move,<br />

they will have 2 USD discounted from their renewal invoice per shipment. Over the year<br />

these 2 dollars add up and will provide a great saving for you while also helping to make<br />

GEM a world-class network!<br />

3. GEM Logo bonus – If you are a member and you display our logo on your website,<br />

you will receive a 50 USD discount on your second year renewal.<br />

Fees<br />

Featured Country<br />

Bosnia & Herzegovina<br />

Written by: Intermove Moving and Relocation Services<br />

Are you interested in moving to Bosnia and Herzegovina?<br />

For for all you digital nomads out there, you might be interested in being a <strong>min</strong>i retired person in Bosnia<br />

and Herzegovina or you have a job offer that you can’t refuse? BiH (“i” = “and” in the Bosnian language)<br />

has beautiful history, incredible world heritage sites and is cheap. So I completely understand<br />

why you’re searching for the cost of living in Bosnia and Herzegovina and opportunities to live there.<br />

How much money do you need to survive in<br />

Bosnia and Herzegovina?<br />

In order to help you answer that, I have<br />

to point out seven areas where your money will<br />

consistently go each month to exa<strong>min</strong>e how much<br />

money you need when you move to Bosnia.These<br />

numbers reflect the costs of living alone in the<br />

more pro<strong>min</strong>ent cities, like the capital Sarajevo<br />

and tourist hotspot Mostar, or Banja Luka in the<br />

north. If you are co<strong>min</strong>g as a couple or a family,<br />

you can do the necessary multiplications to figure<br />

out how much money you require for your needs.<br />

Also, keep in <strong>min</strong>d that smaller and less touristy<br />

towns will have a lower Bosnian cost of living. This<br />

rule pretty much goes for all the other countries in<br />

the Balkans as well.<br />

centre. As for Mostar, you can find cheaper apartments<br />

there than you will find in Sarajevo. That<br />

rule also applies in Banja Luka.<br />

Utilities<br />

Rent<br />

Basic utilities (electricity, heating, water)<br />

For a studio apartment or a one bedroom, are of course cheaper in the summer and more<br />

the price should be around 200 euros per month in expensive in the winter. If you are paying for the<br />

Sarajevo. Depending on what you find, it could be phone, internet, and TV (which will be about 15<br />

50 euros more than that, or 50 euros less. Naturally,<br />

cheaper apartments under 200 euros will be and if you don’t have central heating, utilities could<br />

euros), as well as heating in the winter months,<br />

smaller, not as renovated or outside of the main be 60-90 euros for a studio or 1 bedroom apartment.<br />

If you have central heating, it could be more,<br />

towns and city centres. Also, let me re<strong>min</strong>d you<br />

that if you live in the centre of town, apartments especially if you are also paying for trash, parking<br />

will be pricier than those further away from the city and any other building facilities. The summer’s<br />

Global Exclusive Movers’ Network (GEM) | Network Magazine - <strong>Issue</strong> 11 | www.globalexclusivemovers.com 21


utility bill total is usually about half of the winter’s<br />

or much less.<br />

Transportation<br />

For a month-long bus pass, you can expect<br />

to pay about 15-20 euros depending on which<br />

town you are living in. A one-way bus ticket will be<br />

less than 1 euro. So we wish you a safe trip!<br />

Healthcare<br />

As an expat, you can’t recieve free public<br />

healthcare. Be prepared to pay 10-25 euros to<br />

see a doctor privately. General physicians will be<br />

cheaper than a doctor who specializes in specific<br />

or advanced treatments for certain disorders and<br />

diseases. In regards to pharmacies, most antibiotics<br />

should be less than 5 euros. Other prescription<br />

medications for disorders and diseases could be<br />

15-25 euros.<br />

Groceries<br />

Groceries will be pretty cheap in Bosnia<br />

by western standards. If you are just shopping for<br />

one or two people, expect to spend about 20-30<br />

euros a week every week and a half. This is where<br />

the cost of living in Bosnia and Herzegovina is just<br />

awesome and will be worthwhile to move there!<br />

Going Out<br />

Social life varies from person-to-person of<br />

course. In Sarajevo and all the big cities, nightlife<br />

is rich and tasteful during the whole year. A nice<br />

club in Sarajevo might cost you 15-20 euros by<br />

the end of the night. If you stick to a small bar,<br />

you could spend 10-15 euros for the whole night.<br />

You have a variety of restaurants. If you go to the<br />

trendy restaurants in the city centre, you could<br />

spend 15-20 euros for some sort of main dish and<br />

a couple of drinks. In places like Mostar though,<br />

you will be pleasantly surprised to see you can<br />

have a nice meal and some drinks for 10 euros or<br />

under. So you will be glad to move to Bosnia!<br />

Total Monthly Costs<br />

You can get by on as low as 600-650 euros<br />

a month in Bosnia. But to live more comfortably as<br />

a one-person expat, ideally, you want at least 700-<br />

750 euros a month.<br />

Moving Matters<br />

Celebrating Milestones =<br />

Business Growth<br />

In June of 2018, Global Exclusive Movers’ Network<br />

(GEM) sold its first membership. We felt overjoyed and excited<br />

that our first member trusted us enough to take a leap of<br />

faith, before we had any other members! It was confirmation<br />

that we were selling a valuable product. Of course the product<br />

had value to us, but to have a stranger agree was thrilling! The<br />

enthusiasm and energy in the office was electric. Now, a year<br />

later and each sale is still celebrated and exciting, but doesn’t<br />

capture the same feeling as the first.<br />

The most important milestones<br />

are in the first years of<br />

your business. It’s okay if you<br />

don’t know your first sale, look<br />

through your records and find it.<br />

At GEM, we celebrated the company<br />

launch, the first membership<br />

sold, the first issue of the<br />

network magazine, and the day<br />

we started a waiting list for cities<br />

already taken by other members.<br />

Celebrating these small victories<br />

quiets the negative voice in your<br />

head that is constantly trying to<br />

drag you down, the voice that focuses<br />

on rejections and failures<br />

(which every business has). This<br />

can cause demotivation, not only<br />

for you, but your employees as<br />

well. This has a direct affect on<br />

productivity and eventually customers.<br />

Why would you want to<br />

work with a company that seems<br />

unhappy and beat down?<br />

Everyone starts at the<br />

bottom and works their way to<br />

the top. Your customers will respect<br />

and appreciate seeing<br />

your company milestones. It<br />

shows that even the most successful,<br />

still started from nothing<br />

and celebrate their first, small,<br />

see<strong>min</strong>gly insignificant (but actually<br />

giant) accomplishments.<br />

Celebrating milestones<br />

builds morale within the company.<br />

Business owners are<br />

ambitious, so we move on to<br />

new goals quickly and forget to<br />

acknowledge our accomplishments.<br />

Celebrating helps you,<br />

as the owner, remember why<br />

you do your job every day. It rejuvenates<br />

you to accomplish the<br />

next milestone and avoid burnout.<br />

If you simply keep plowing<br />

through your goals, but don’t<br />

look back at all of the wonderful<br />

24 Global Exclusive Movers’ Network (GEM) | Network Magazine - <strong>Issue</strong> 11 | www.globalexclusivemovers.com


things you have achieved, then<br />

you will eventually feel burnout.<br />

If you remember how much effort,<br />

stress, and worry went into<br />

that first goal, then it makes<br />

other objectives seem so much<br />

easier. Feeling the elation you<br />

had in that first goal will get you<br />

addicted to accomplishing more!<br />

How do you celebrate<br />

milestones effectively? It is important<br />

to keep the momentum<br />

alive, but how do you recapture<br />

a feeling? This is so important<br />

for the success of your company.<br />

• Facebook is an excellent<br />

tool for remembering anniversaries<br />

and milestones. It will re<strong>min</strong>d<br />

you of the feeling each year and<br />

it will show your clients these<br />

important accomplishments for<br />

your business.<br />

• Use the milestone in your<br />

advertisements, notices, and<br />

even newsletters (or monthly<br />

member magazine ☺ ).<br />

whenever you use it or wear it, it<br />

will re<strong>min</strong>d you of achieving your<br />

goal and it will motivate you to<br />

accomplish more targets within<br />

your business.<br />

• Celebrate with your staff.<br />

Do something special to get<br />

them as fired up as you were<br />

to achieve this goal. Get them<br />

to look forward to this day of remembrance.<br />

Don’t only celebrate<br />

things in the first year of<br />

your company, keep adding<br />

milestones: the first 100<br />

Milestones to Celebrate<br />

The Top 4 for All Movers!<br />

In life there are many milestones that we pass and the same is true with business. It is important<br />

that we celebrate these milestones so that our potential customers can see how well we are doing. In<br />

the removal industry, there are so many examples of possible milestones that you can celebrate, here<br />

are just a few!<br />

1) First Move of the Year: Things tend to be<br />

slow after Christmas<br />

and New Year’s. By<br />

celebrating your first<br />

move of the year, it attracts<br />

attention to you<br />

and shows your early<br />

success of the year.<br />

This is a short term<br />

milestone, but can be<br />

built on throughout the<br />

year and is also a great repeat milestone every<br />

year after. You can also try to make that first<br />

move of the year earlier each year!<br />

How to Celebrate? – Social media posts, announcement<br />

in the GEM Movers’ Magazine.<br />

2) Facebook Likes: Every business nowadays<br />

should have a Facebook page. These FB<br />

business pages help boost your SEO presence<br />

and provide you a<br />

platform to release<br />

news updates. A<br />

great thing about<br />

Facebook is that<br />

it helps you reach<br />

new audiences and<br />

gets your services<br />

known to new people<br />

when posts are<br />

shared. On Facebook, people ‘Like’ posts you<br />

make. Celebrate your first ten likes, your fiftieth<br />

like, your one hundredth Facebook like and<br />

much, much more!<br />

How to Celebrate? – There is an option on<br />

Facebook to make a special post to celebrate<br />

these milestones. You can also boost your post<br />

to industry related companies and people looking<br />

for moving services. Facebook can help you<br />

with this!<br />

3) Certifications and Accreditations: It is<br />

always nice when you, as a mover, receive a<br />

new certification<br />

or accreditation.<br />

Be it regarding a<br />

packing course<br />

or safety certificate,<br />

these<br />

are worth celebrating<br />

and are<br />

fantastic milestones.<br />

These<br />

show your customers your skill and professionalism.<br />

How to Celebrate? – These certificates need to<br />

be shown on your website for everyone to see.<br />

Also, why not send it to us and we will announce<br />

this. If it is an achievement that your packing<br />

team or drivers have accomplished, why not celebrate<br />

this with a staff dinner or party. Just make<br />

sure to have your camera ready so you can take<br />

photos and share them far and wide!<br />

4) Biggest Move in your Company History:<br />

This one is massive! It is also a milestone that<br />

you can use as<br />

a target to beat<br />

for the future.<br />

Use this as a<br />

huge celebration<br />

and then<br />

have it as motivation<br />

to keep<br />

on achieving big moves.<br />

How to Celebrate? – This has to be a double<br />

page spread in the GEM Movers’ Magazine documenting<br />

the entire move. This is free after all!<br />

From Our Blog<br />

Reflecting<br />

on Your<br />

Successes<br />

It is easy to sit back and absorb your successes and then take your foot off the gas.<br />

This is definitely not something we will be doing at Global Exclusive Movers’ Network (GEM).<br />

Reflection is important and over the last month or so leading up to our 1st year anniversary, we<br />

have been doing this. We have brainstormed and discussed things that we have been hugely<br />

successful at and things that we need to put more focus on.<br />

We have succeeded fantastically in giving<br />

our members a portal to showcase our services.<br />

We have seen our monthly GEM Movers’<br />

Magazine improve and grow with each edition.<br />

The quality has grown greatly and more and more<br />

members are<br />

contributing each<br />

month. The GEM<br />

Movers’ Magazine<br />

provides<br />

GEM Movers a<br />

free, high quality,<br />

monthly publication<br />

for advertising<br />

so that they do<br />

not need to spend<br />

so much on their<br />

advertising budget. However, we will not be taking<br />

our foot off the gas after all of this success. We<br />

will be putting in more effort to increase the reading<br />

audience so that it will expose our member’s<br />

services to even more people. We will be adding<br />

more multi-nationals and international schools to<br />

the reading list and working on ways to reach families<br />

and expats who use moving and relocation<br />

services often.<br />

Another success that the GEM team has<br />

achieved, is building a solid base for the network in<br />

just one year. Many key locations have been filled<br />

and with this, an increase of growth and interest<br />

in membership has occurred. Now, most in our industry<br />

have heard of our exclusive, bespoke group<br />

of professional movers. After reflection regarding<br />

growth we will double our efforts and include new<br />

marketing campaigns and social media posts to<br />

encourage more to join. We will introduce more<br />

member incentives and our aim over the next twelve<br />

months is<br />

to make<br />

GEM the<br />

most attractive<br />

and only<br />

truly exclusive<br />

network dedicated to the removal, relocation<br />

and mobility industry.<br />

It is also fantastic, that after a very fast<br />

twelve months, we can see communication and<br />

relations building between members. We will<br />

work to increase this in the co<strong>min</strong>g months. It is<br />

also great to see<br />

our members using<br />

the marketing<br />

tools that we<br />

have featured and<br />

explained in previous<br />

issues of<br />

the GEM Movers’<br />

Magazine. Be it<br />

USP (Unique Selling<br />

Proposition)<br />

or Brand Awareness,<br />

Video marketing or Brand Consistency, we<br />

have seen these concepts being adapted by our<br />

members. This is a great success for us. We will<br />

continue to provide our members with the up-todate<br />

marketing trends and explain them in a clear<br />

way so that our members can implement them in<br />

a quick and cost effective way!<br />

There have been many successes over the<br />

last twelve months and our pledge to our GEM<br />

Movers and our readers is that there will be many<br />

more to come. We feel that we have injected a<br />

new buzz of positive energy into the removals industry<br />

and we will continue to give our members a<br />

free platform to advertise and a whole lot more.<br />

We look forward to our members telling us their<br />

‘Reflections on their successes’ and hearing their<br />

aims for the next twelve months.<br />

Exclusively stronger together!<br />

Member News<br />

Dawood Worldwide Moving Services Gets Rave Reviews<br />

Dawood Worldwide Moving Services has had some very positive reviews on their<br />

recent jobs. Every positive review is an achievement for a company and we want to help<br />

shout from the rooftops, the successful moves of our new Myanmar member.<br />

Review from Su<br />

We just used Dawood Worldwide Moving and Logistics<br />

and I have been nicely surprised by their job. Fast, in<br />

time with an English speaking person supervising that<br />

all furniture where handled properly.<br />

Review from Jem<br />

Will highly recommend the services of Dawood Movers!<br />

They came on time and prepared with all the necessary<br />

materials to help me ship my things to Manila. After canvassing<br />

among other moving companies, they quoted me<br />

with the best rate. After packing all my things, I went<br />

over my budget and they were very considerate with the<br />

rate that they priced me. They also connected me with an agent from the receiving end in<br />

Manila to organise a tax exemption for me. They are very efficient and provided excellent<br />

service! Really satisfied with their service!<br />

Well done Dawood Worldwide Moving Services! We love to hear about happy customers!<br />

GEM is now an LLC in the U.S.A.!!<br />

G.E.M. is thrilled to announce we have expanded<br />

Global Exclusive Movers’ Networks LLC to<br />

the U.S.A. With this exciting change, we plan to<br />

release a faster and more interactive website. This<br />

GEM Movers’ Magazine will now be in flipbook form<br />

to give all of our readers a better and more realistic<br />

experience when perusing the magazine online.<br />

Another exciting change is that all banking<br />

will be done through the U.S.A., giving our customers<br />

an easier way to pay invoices with quick responses.<br />

We are excited for these benefits to give our<br />

members the best and most convenient experience<br />

possible.<br />
