    FIRST EPA AIR POLLUTION INJUNCTION
    October 18, 1971 - United States

    In its first such action, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shut down heavy industries in Birmingham, Alabama, when air pollution on this day was reaching dangerous levels. It was an emergency action under the Clean Air Act (1970). The EPA asked a Federal judge to issue a temporary restraining order. Among others, U.S. Steel had been belching too much smoke into an atmospheric inversion (stagnant air mass). Among idled workers, one said, “we're going to choke to death before we starve to death.” Six months before, the city had suffered a five-day crisis that spiked on 20 Apr 1971. At that time, while the state failed in enforcement, the EPA was not notified early enough to start emergency action. Days with high particulate counts in the air thereafter drew close EPA scrutiny.

    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

Selling online has a number of advantages over conventional methods. By selling online you can reach shoppers worldwide, compete with larger stores by being able to open 24/7/365, attract customers who would not usually visit your type of high street outlet. All these can up your sales. However, the increase in online sales also includes luring more visitors to your site and converting them into actual buyers. Driving traffic to your site can be achieved by applying various website forwarding solutions. But once you get a visitor on your website, your storefront is the only tool to trap and encourage a customer to buy your products.

What should be done to forward an online store and improve sales?

1. Comprehensive merchandise description
The description of a product should highlight its core features and benefits, including the quality. Moreover, you can use customer testimonials and merchandise reviews to add an impartial viewpoint.

2. Cross-selling
Use the cross-selling strategy to promote complimentary goods on your website. Improve online sales by giving prominence to all complimentary goods at high selling merchandise pages.

3. Easy shopping experience
Simplify registration and check-out procedures on your online store and allow shoppers to spend quality time on shopping.
Appealingly display the 'Buy' button along with the product image and description. This will help you up web sales through impulsive buying and will build an easy shopping atmosphere for your shoppers.

4. Discount options
Carry on offering diverse discount and rebate tools to encourage your customers to come back to your store. Introduce 'surprise' discount schemes for few merchandise groups, for fixed terms. Encourage swift buying by specifying the time deadlines for your discounted prices.

5. Treating regular customers
Your regular shoppers are your key assets. Appreciate their loyalty by presenting them special loyalty discounts. Providing them with special 'e-coupons' boosts their shopping experience on your website. Encourage your regular shoppers to write product reviews on your online store to draw your first time shoppers.
