PostNet Supports Entrepreneurs, Offers Chance at $15,000 to “Boost This Biz”

Posted: 02 May 2011 04:22 AM PDT

Mountain Home, AR, May 02, 2011 –(PR.com)– A small-business owner may soon receive a game-changing $10,000 cash grant and $5,000 in design, print, copy, and shipping services from PostNet, America’s Neighborhood Business Center with more 700 locations worldwide, including one at Mountain Home, Arkansas.

In celebration of National Small Business Week, business owners looking to take their business to the next level are encouraged to enter PostNet’s Boost This Biz contest. Starting May 1, 2011, any small-business owner can visit www.facebook.com/PostNet to share why they deserve the grand prize. The five entries with the most “Like” votes by June 8, 2011, will move on to the final judging round, where an impartial panel of fellow entrepreneurs will choose one grand prize winner. The remaining four finalists will each receive a $200 American Express gift card.

“Local small businesses are the backbone of the economy, and it’s rewarding to be a part of a campaign that spotlights all the talented and aspiring entrepreneurs in our community,” said Bill Shannon, owner of PostNet in Mountain Home. “There are certainly many business owners across the country who are deserving of this prize, but we hope that it comes back to Mountain Home."

Every day, PostNet of Mountain Home consults with business owners to determine new strategies to help them grow their companies. Whether it’s designing a restaurant’s menu, or printing and mailing a landscaper’s postcards, PostNet’s staff works with small-business owners across all industries to meet their unique design, print, copy, and shipping needs.

In addition to providing design, print, copy, and shipping services to business owners, Shannon consults with entrepreneurs and offers tangible advice to help them boost the success of their businesses:

Evaluate your image: Building a strong brand image is critical to growing your business. What do your logo and business cards say about your company? Do they convey your products, services, work ethic? Once you have evaluated your branding, it is vital to streamline it throughout all your collateral; from invoices to proposals to envelopes, it’s important to create a professional image.

Add value for existing customers: Give more than your customers ask for by anticipating their needs. Take time to sit down with your customers and figure out why they are purchasing a specific product or service. If you take the time to understand their buying needs, you will be able to better anticipate future purchases and suggest ideas that they might never have thought of. Also, growing your business through selling to existing customers is much more cost effective than trying to attract a new client.

Engage with your community: Create awareness of your business by sponsoring events, attending speaking opportunities and being involved in your local community. By being active locally and networking within your small business community, you will be able to subtly market to potential customers and show them what you have to offer.

Set goals and benchmarks: Most entrepreneurs start their businesses with a growth strategy in mind, but rarely sit down and map out individual benchmarks. In order to grow your business you must have attainable goals, a clear vision of what you want to achieve and how. Make it a standard practice to revisit your goals often and set quantifiable benchmarks.

About PostNet
Founded in 1993, Denver-based PostNet has more than 700 locations worldwide, including several hundred U.S. locations. Each locally owned and operated PostNet Neighborhood Business Center specializes in meeting the design, printing, copying and shipping needs of businesses and busy consumers, with a focus on exceptional, personal customer service.

The Results of Survival Strategies’ Study on Insurance Reimbursements Reveals Uncommon Growth and Expansion

Posted: 02 May 2011 03:49 AM PDT

Burbank, CA, May 02, 2011 –(PR.com)– The CEO of Survival Strategies, Inc., Craig Ferreira, having just completed an in-depth study, announced the results of their Effective Reimbursements Program and added, "They are quite spectacular."

The inception of their ERM program came about due to a large number of their client base in all 50 states reporting great difficulty in collecting money owed from insurance companies for services rendered. These difficulties include lost claims, large amounts of required documentation, and general slowness in claims processing. After thorough research of the insurance industry, Mr. Ferreira collaborated with two colleagues and found that most practices did have a workable software program for insurance billing, but there was a definite missing ingredient – the Know-How and ability to collect and deal with every barrier possibly encountered which could slow down reimbursements. As there was no such program on the market, they worked to fully codify, test and implement the needed training and administrative system required to efficiently and effectively handle collections.

A study was done on a cross section of clients from 17 different states who had completed their Effective Reimbursements Program; CA, PA, WY, IA, NY, TX, UT, KS, CO, AZ, MO, AL, WA, TX, LA, IL, AR, and included practices with a broad spectrum of disciplines such as Physical Therapy, Audiology, Occupational Therapy, Certified Hand Therapy and Pediatric Therapy. All were engaged in this study to ensure the system’s workability in any private practice or business with the task of collecting insurance reimbursement money.

Once completing this analysis, Mr. Ferreira was pleased to find the overall average increase in statistics to be extremely impressive. Here are the results:

- 22% increase in collections; some even as high as 49%
- Practice return on investment averaging $99,152; some as high as $350,000
- Overall percentage of return on investment averaged 46%.

In response Mr. Ferreira said, “We are really proud that we have developed a system that effectively works to increase cash flow and insurance reimbursement collections of this magnitude. This is really big! We are now ready to export this program to other types of business with similar needs of collecting insurance reimbursements.”

Survival Strategies, Inc. guarantees a return on investment with this program for clients who fully apply themselves, and they do whatever it takes to ensure their clients do in fact achieve this.

One particular client had this to say about the program:

"I decided to work with Survival Strategies on the Effective Reimbursements Program as I had an Accounts Receivable which was huge and out of control. After 8 years in business, I was finally able to confront the fact that our billings and collections needed help. We needed a system.

"We signed up for this program at the end of June and my billings and collections staff were trained in early July. After implementing the program for only one month, our collections increased by $30,000.00. Since that time we have collected from $10,000.00 to $40,000.00 more per month than we ever had collected in our ‘best month.’

"To date, in the past year, with this system in place we have collected over $350,000.00 more than we did over the last year at this time. Better yet, our accounts receivable is now under control . In retrospect, I can only say I should have done this program immediately when it was offered. My advice to any practice owner that is frustrated in not collecting money that he or she has earned is to do this program immediately.” – S.B., Practice Owner, WI, USA.

About Survival Strategies, Inc.

Survival Strategies, Inc is a training and consulting firm to healthcare professions including Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Audiology, Dental and Medical as well as Accounting and CPA Firms. They are located in Burbank, California with clients throughout the United States, Canada and Barbados.

The browser based access allows you to watch and control your video over the internet – no software required. Our convenient iPhone and Android apps are trouble-free to use and make video management on-the-go a snap.

You can easily access, offload, and control video, audio and alarm signals from your DVR as well as control PTZ cameras and manage event setup. The mouse-driven, user-friendly GUI interface features optimized design for ease of use, and allows you to configure your DVR in less than one minute.

Baby Loves Disco Brings Twelve Superhero Tour Dance Parties To Loews Hotels This Summer

The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round as the Baby Loves Disco Superhero Tour arrives in several more cities this spring and summer, courtesy of Loews Hotels. This year's tour celebrates everybody's inner superhero, and proves that moms, dads and kids of all sizes all have special powers worthy of superhero status.
Twelve events have been scheduled so far at Loews locations across the country.

(PRWEB) May 02, 2011

(PRWEB) May 2, 2011 — The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round as the Baby Loves Disco Superhero Tour arrives in several more cities this spring and summer, courtesy of Loews Hotels. This year's tour celebrates everybody’s inner superhero, and proves that moms, dads and kids of all sizes all have special powers worthy of superhero status. Twelve events have been scheduled so far at Loews locations across the country. For a complete schedule, visit http://www.babylovesdisco.com/events.

The proceeds of all 12 events will support community schools through DonorsChoose.org, the official charity of Loews Hotels; a web-based not-for-profit that provides essential classroom tools to teachers across the country.

Families are invited to join the Baby Loves Disco Nation, to dance, play, savor healthy snacks and generally enjoy good times with family and friends. Parents and kids are invited to dress up as their favorite superheroes, or come just as they are. For updates on the Tour, visit Baby Loves Disco's pages on Facebook and Twitter.

“Baby Loves Disco is a great experience for families which syncs perfectly with our Loews Loves Kids program,” said Lark-Marie Anton, Loews Hotels Vice President of Public Relations. “This will be a summer to remember at Loews Hotels and we are excited that BLD will be part of the fun!”

Each event of the tour rocks with special guest superhero DJs and MCs, dance instruction, big video screens, super contests and surprises at every turn. At its core, each event retains the patented mix of Baby Loves Disco magic that has helped connect a worldwide community of moms, dads and kids of all nations, of all colors and all walks of life, all in the name of dance (and fun!).

As Baby Loves Disco co-founder Andy Blackman Hurwitz says, “Come and shake it…or cape it. The Disco Superheroes are coming to a town near you, keeping dance floors safe from coast to coast.”

Already this year, thousands of parents, grandparents and kids have danced the day away at all kinds of venues in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota and California. Other sponsors of the Baby Loves Disco Superhero Tour include H&M, Creativity for Kids, Honest Kids, Snikiddy and Piggy Paint. Last fall, the Baby Loves Disco Lemonade Tour co-sponsored family dance parties at Loews properties in Coronado Bay in California and Ventana Canyon in Arizona.

Baby Loves Disco is an afternoon dance party featuring real music spun and mixed by real DJs, blending classic disco tunes with the latest G-rated dance tracks, all guaranteed to get little booties moving and grooving. An international sensation since its founding six years ago by two parents in Philadelphia, Baby Loves Disco now brings parents and kids together to groove at all kinds of venues. Last year's 45-city Baby Loves Disco Lemonade Tour of 2010 raised awareness and funds for Alex's Lemonade Stand, the children's cancer charity. In recognition of the global reach of Baby Loves Disco, Babble.com chose co-founder Heather Murphy Monteith as one of the top 50 “Mompreneurs” in the country. Co-founder Hurwitz was also recently featured in the "Dads Hall of Fame" (just above Brad Pitt) in Parents’ magazine.

The Loews Hotels events include:

  •     May 15 – Loews Annapolis Hotel, MD
  •     May 21 – Loews Regency Hotel, New York City

New Security Option Available for DSCI’s MPLS VPN Service

Posted: 02 May 2011 03:32 AM PDT

New Security Option Available for DSCI's MPLS VPN Service

DSCI Corporation, Inc., a leading provider of unified communications solutions, announces an additional security option for the MPLS VPN service. The service, which provides secure site-to-site connectivity over a private IP network and allows convergence of data, Internet access, voice and video, now includes an encryption option.

(PRWEB) May 02, 2011

DSCI Corporation, Inc., a leading provider of unified communications solutions, announces an additional security option for the MPLS VPN service. The service, which provides secure site-to-site connectivity over a private IP network and allows convergence of data, Internet access, voice and video, now includes an encryption option.

Security of traffic over the MPLS network is assured in a number of ways. First, data travels across a private IP network, segregated from the public Internet. Customers can also select to deploy a Secured Internet Gateway so that all MPLS VPN sites gain access to the Internet through a single, centralized firewall. Even mobile workers or remote sites can connect securely back to the corporate network over VPN through the MPLS Secured Internet Gateway. And now, if regulatory compliance or industry standards require additional security, customers can opt to include Secure MPLS Group Encrypted Transport. This option ensures encryption of selected data as it crosses the network.

"Highly regulated industries such as banking, financial services, and healthcare require a level of security only our Secure MPLS Service can provide. It is for that reason that we have added this option to our MPLS service," comments Sean M. Dandley, DSCI's CEO and President.

"Our Secure MPLS Service utilizes Cisco's Group Encrypted Transport technology which eliminates the need for VPN tunnels, reducing the complexity of providing secure any-to-any site connectivity," explains David Sarvai, DSCI's Director of Engineering. "By utilizing a key server at a centralized point to distribute keys and policies to all registered and authenticated group member routers, key distribution and management are greatly simplified. Group member routers can then encrypt and decrypt according to the routing and security policies they receive."

MPLS VPN from DSCI is fully managed including CPE and network services. Private IP addressing is supported and Quality of Service guarantees are available as an option. DSCI is a qualified vendor for MPLS Service by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on statewide contract ITT09.

DuPage County Law Firm Introduces Cooperative Divorce Law in Illinois

Posted: 02 May 2011 03:32 AM PDT

DuPage County Law Firm Introduces Cooperative Divorce Law in Illinois

The Oak Brook, IL divorce law firm of Kulerski and Cornelison has just set into motion Illinois' version of Cooperative Divorce Law.

Oak Brook, IL (PRWEB) May 2, 2011

The Oak Brook, IL, divorce law firm of Kulerski and Cornelison has just set into motion Illinois' version of Cooperative Divorce Law.

Cooperative Divorce Law is a process that helps divorcing couples to minimize the pain and expense of marital dissolution. The cooperative approach is based on the same settlement philosophy as mediation and collaborative law. However, it goes a step further than collaborative law and permits the attorneys to go to court when their clients are unable to reach an out of court settlement.

"We have invited several divorce lawyers who are mediators and collaborative law practitioners to join us. To date, 26 attorneys in Cook and DuPage counties have elected to become part of this movement,” said J. Richard Kulerski, one of the firm's partners. “This program is another step toward helping people to manage the length, cost, and outcome of their divorce experience."

Kulerski goes on to explain that, "While collaborative law divorces are cooperative, cooperative law divorces are not collaborative. Cooperative divorce law is its own, distinct divorce settlement model; it not just another way of characterizing a divorce as being collaborative or friendly."

Law partners, Richard Kulerski and Kari L. Cornelison, are seasoned litigators with over 60 years of combined trial experience in the divorce courts of Cook, DuPage, and Will Counties, Illinois. They are also staunch advocates for the anti-war approach to divorce.

Both Richard and Kari are trained divorce mediators and collaborative law practitioners who believe that going to divorce court should be a last resort. They are seeking like-minded attorneys to join them in developing this newest approach to divorce.

For more information call 630-928-0600, or visit http://www.civilizeddivorce.com. Questions can also be directed to either Richard Kulerski (rk(at)illinoislegal(dot)com), or to Kari Cornelison (kc(at)illinoislegal(dot)com).

Benning Power Electronics Poised for Growth with Move to New Facility in Richardson, Texas

Posted: 02 May 2011 03:13 AM PDT

Richardson, TX, May 02, 2011 –(PR.com)– Benning Power Electronics Inc., a subsidiary of German-based Benning Worldwide, today announced the opening of its new North American headquarters and manufacturing facility. The 68,000 square foot facility is located in Richardson, Texas.

Benning Power Electronics designs, manufactures and installs power conversion systems throughout the United States, Canada and South America. Benning’s product line serves the power needs of a wide variety of industries, including telecommunications, handling and distribution centers, industrial equipment, data centers, medical power supply, and the military, among others.

“We have experienced rapid growth in the last several years,” said Mario Barbaresso, CEO of Benning Power Electronics. “We are now the largest of Benning’s 22 subsidiary operations worldwide. To accommodate our continued growth, and the needs of our more than 50 employees, we needed a larger facility. Our new Richardson headquarters will help us meet our goal of doubling our workforce by 2016.”

Benning more than doubled its square footage with the move to the new Richardson facility, located at 1220 Presidential Drive, Richardson, Texas, 75081. Benning’s previous facility was located in Dallas. “We have enjoyed being a member of the North Texas business community since 2001, and we look forward to being a part of the City of Richardson’s thriving business community as well.”

“We are pleased by Benning’s decision to move its North American headquarters and manufacturing facility to Richardson,” said Richardson Mayor Gary Slagel. “Benning joins many prominent companies that have their global or North American headquarters in Richardson. We are proud to be the home to so many businesses that are innovative leaders in their respective fields, and to have Benning join that distinguished group continues building on Richardson’s tradition of industry leadership, a deep talent pool, a strong educational base and outstanding community support as we prepare for a bright future.”

“With Benning’s customer base of telecommunications firms, data centers and other leading companies in various sectors, it makes tremendous sense to have their North American headquarters in Richardson,” said Bill Sproull, president and CEO of the Richardson Chamber of Commerce. “Companies that come to Richardson truly find strong synergies with the other surrounding businesses, as well as a supportive city government, convenient Metroplex location, robust transportation infrastructure and a dynamic environment in which to do business. We welcome Benning to our corporate community.”

Benning purchased the building in December of 2010 and made extensive renovations to suit its unique needs. Daniel T. Paterson, president of Swearingen Realty Group represented Benning in the transaction.

The design of the new facility allows Benning to decrease its manufacturing time to better meet the needs of its customers, while making a positive impact on the environment.

Benning’s new facility will also be equipped with the technology to be self-sufficient in its power usage with 50 percent of the building’s roof space equipped with solar panels.

“This is more than just an address change for us,” said Barbaresso. “Everything we do is about energy efficiency, so we wanted our operations here to reflect that for our customers and our employees.”

Mango Madness Skin Care Launches Social Media Campaign

Posted: 02 May 2011 02:10 AM PDT

West Palm Beach, FL, May 02, 2011 –(PR.com)– As part of a strategy to promote improved dissemination of helpful skin care information, anti-aging product retailer Mango Madness Skin Care has announced a new Facebook page, Twitter account and blog.

The company’s Facebook page and Tweets provide visitors and followers with timely information about events, discounts, news items and new products. The new blog provides visitors with helpful information and useful skin care tips.

“Mango Madness Skin Care is all about helping its customers achieve and maintain younger looking, more beautiful, and healthier skin,” explained Laura Myers, president. “While we have published a website for many years, it has been mostly a passive medium; our new Facebook page, Twitter account, and skin care blog not only provide frequent updates and helpful skin care information, but also allow a far greater level of interactivity among our customers,” she added.

Mango Madness Skin Care manufactures a complete line of hyaluronic acid based moisturizers, peptide and retinol based wrinkle creams, both glycolic acid and microdermabrasion type exfoliators, a vitamin K based under eye cream, gentle skin cleansers, a new full spectrum sunblock, and specialty cosmetics.

The company operates two retail stores at CityPlace in West Palm Beach, Fla., and Saint Augustine, Fla., and maintains an e-commerce website. For more information, visit www.MangoMadnessSkinCare.com.

Mango Madness Skin Care minimizes wasteful packaging and shuns the use of potentially harmful ingredients such as parabens. The company’s facial products contain no fillers or fragrances, which can irritate skin. It performs no animal testing and devotes its resources to highly effective concentrations of active ingredients instead of elaborate advertisements and expensive packaging.

Rental Site Rentzio Gives Adventure-Seeking Travelers Cost-Saving Options

Posted: 02 May 2011 12:51 AM PDT

Rental Site Rentzio Gives Adventure-Seeking Travelers Cost-Saving Options

Seeking travel and adventure but don't want to spend too much money? Look to rental aggregator Rentzio (http://www.rentzio.com) for your low-cost travel solution.

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) May 02, 2011

Seeking travel and adventure but don't want to spend too much money? Look to Rentzio (http://www.rentzio.com) for your low-cost travel solution. Newly relaunched with a powerful new site after its inception in February 2009, Rentzio operates as a rental aggregator for the 98 million adventure-seeking vacationers seeking rental information regarding motor homes, trailers, motorcycles, ATVs, bikes, watercraft, and vacation homes and is the premier recreation rental aggregator in the US. Rentzio's services assist travelers plan vacations as well as the fun activities that will supplement their trip.

Rentzio aggregates both small and large rental companies as well as individuals that would like to eventually start their own rental enterprise. This gives travelers several options through a large inventory of equipment and home choices. Individuals will not only be able to secure a vacation rental site, but can also get an RV, boat, and jetski in the same location – making it very easy to fulfill all vacation needs. Rentzio's diverse product offering makes it the perfect go-to site for visitors to obtain all of their recreational rental needs. Moreover, Rentzio is the only service that gives related searches in that same area.

The site's easy navigability and ease of use encourages someone who initially visits Rentzio to rent a watercraft to be more inclined to return to Rentzio to rent other recreational items, whether it is an RV, ATV, bicycle, motorcycle, or vacation home.

From a business standpoint, Rentzio has been helping to create jobs and income during this hard economic time. "People are using the Rentzio portal to generate a second income since they can list their unused vacation home, or a boat, bike, ATV that's just sitting in the garage and rent it to make money when they would normally just be laying there," explained business partner Chad Early.

Large rental companies can expand their business by attracting larger customer bases, while small businesses and individuals can build revenue by establishing a web presence and advertising their rental products. The companies and individuals that advertise with Rentzio receive the benefit of increased exposure because the website will encourage customers to rent other items that they did not know were available to them.

While there are many travel aggregator sites for hotels, airfare and rental cars, Rentzio caters specifically to recreational travel, and offers a majority of the equipment that is used in soft adventure activities including bikes, jet skis, motor homes, ATVs, and canoes.

About Rentzio

Orange County, CA-based Rentzio is a premier recreation rental aggregator in the US for vacationers seeking rental information regarding motor homes, trailers, motorcycles, ATVs, bikes, watercraft, and vacation homes. Rentzio's services assist travelers plan vacations as well as the fun activities that will supplement their trip. http://www.rentzio.com

LabArchives, LLC Announces Release of DOI (Digital Object Identifiers)

Posted: 02 May 2011 12:50 AM PDT

LabArchives, LLC Announces Release of DOI (Digital Object Identifiers)

Compliance with NSF data sharing requirements is now easy and automatic

Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) May 02, 2011

LabArchives, LLC (http://www.labarchives.com), a leader in Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) software, has released the latest version of their flagship product. The latest edition includes the ability to assign a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) to any set of data contained in user Notebooks.

Digiital Object Identifiers have long been a standard and persistent identifier for journal articles, but now they may also be used for data sets. This is increasingly important as funding agencies, including the National Science Foundation (NSF) are now mandating that all funded research must include a plan to share all data after a suitable embargo period (http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/dmp.jsp). Complying with this regulation can be a daunting task for scientists employing a paper notebook, or an ELN that does not include this capability.

According to Earl B. Beutler, President and CEO of the company, “LabArchives now makes it easy for our users to share their underlying data, either with the public at large or selected individuals. With the implementation of DOI technology, our customers can assign a permanent identifier for their work with a single click, rather than digging through hundreds of files on multiple systems and attempting to create a sharing mechanism.”
