To better understand this untapped market, one would have to ask themselves, "What exactly does halal-certified mean when it comes to personal care products?"

Then he learned about Skin Type Solutions, which he says, "for me was not so much about the products as about the approach to skin care evaluation." The STS approach "provides a rubric or frame work on how to consistently assess patients." Gregory and Debra Billington, who serves as the Skin Type Specialist at Upstate Dermatology, discuss their experience with STS.

In principle, the increased availability of digital marketing presents small businesses with some unique opportunities and that are definitely worth celebrating. But the explosion in digital marketing popularity has created some unfortunate speed bumps along the way.

Jessica Smith, a contributor for Edutopia, writes: "If you teach in a high school setting, it seems natural that after students learn, you assess, but does assessing always mean giving tests?
