Raising Cash in the Midst of a Recession

Canton, GA (PRWEB) April 1, 2009

Recessions can be trying times for even the most financially secure individuals and families. Raising cash in the midst of a recession may seem like a daunting task in light of soaring unemployment rates and plummeting home values. Yet, among these trying times opportunities exist to raise cash through an innovative service offered by Jay Brokers.

Jay Brokers specializes in helping individuals and businesses raise cash through the liquidation of valuable gadgets and other high-tech items such as laptops, MP3 players, and digital cameras. The unique service provides a lump sum of cash in exchange for customers' items. Jay Brokers incorporates a transparent approach by providing customers with a guaranteed offer based on current fair market values as determined by recent sales between real buyers and sellers.

Owner Justin Pepple says, "Our approach is unlike any other in the industry. We don't just make subjective offers to customers. Instead, we tell customers upfront what their item is realistically worth, and then we make a guaranteed offer based on the item's fair market value. Our customers have the opportunity to compare the fair market value to the guaranteed offer and determine if our service is worth the difference."

Jay Brokers' transparent approach allows the customer to intelligently decide between keeping an item, selling privately, or utilizing Jay Brokers' service. "Customers are often pleasantly surprised to discover the value of their laptop, iPod, or iPhone," says Pepple. "Occasionally though, some customers are slightly disappointed, forgetting how quickly technology depreciates. Regardless, our customers can make an informed decision without feeling like they are being taken advantage of, or low-balled."

Of course Jay Brokers' service comes with a small cost, which usually accounts for about 20-30% of an item's value. For example, a customer may be able to sell a laptop privately on a website such as Craigslist for $ 1,500. With Jay Brokers, the customer has the option of receiving an instant cash payout of $ 1,200. In the previous example, most customers find the $ 300 difference worth it, especially considering the time and effort saved by using Jay Brokers.

"We are delighted to help our customers raise cash in exchange for their gadgets and gismos. In these rough times, customers are better off to sell a MacBook and raise some cash than to default on a car loan or lose their home to foreclosure," says Pepple. Jay Brokers' service is quickly gaining popularity among customers seeking to raise cash, particularly with fast payment options including overnight check and PayPal.

There is one slight caveat for those seeking to raise cash. Jay Brokers makes offers on nearly any gadget or electronic item worth over $ 100. "Our business model is geared toward higher-ticket, more valuable items. We try to let customers know upfront that we typically don't make offers on items worth less than $ 100--the less expensive items just aren't compatible with our business model." As a result, customers with less expensive items worth less than $ 100 may choose to sell on Craigslist or host a garage sale.

"Surviving the down economy is entirely possible--you just need to strategically take a look at your possessions of value and determine which ones you can part with. Chances are, you probably have some valuable items that you can live without. At the very least, we can tell you what your items are worth," says Pepple. Jay Brokers encourages curious customers to visit their website and fill out a brief quote form to receive a fair market value report along with a personalized guaranteed offer.

Jay Brokers was established in 2000 and has issued thousands of guaranteed offers to customers all across the United States. Jay Brokers is an eBay Platinum PowerSeller with customer satisfaction exceeding 99.5%. Jay Brokers is headquartered within the metro Atlanta area in Canton, Georgia.

Publisher Combines Discounts, Fundraising and Disaster Relief Efforts

Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) May 27, 2011

FedHealth, an independent publisher, announced it will discount their disaster preparedness book pricing through September 30, 2011 and donate 10% of all orders to relief efforts across the U.S.

So many communities are being impacted by Mother Nature and the bad economy that we wanted to do something to help our fellow Americans and our partners involved in disaster relief, so this was a perfect win-win, said FedHealth President and CEO Bill Liebsch.

Liebsch, co-author and publisher of ITS A DISASTER! and what are YOU gonna do about it? is discounting his 268-page preparedness book more than half off the retail price through September 30th. In addition, volunteers, schools and faith-based groups can still earn up to 50% of the discounted price through a variety of fundraising programs.

As an added benefit, FedHealth will donate 10% of ALL orders to volunteer groups - like Chasing4Life's Disaster Response Team, The Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Response Association (DERA), U.S. First Responders Associations DRT and others - throughout the summer.

Disaster education and relief groups are being stretched thin lately but the kindness of these volunteers can never be repaid. Our hope is to help offset some of their costs so they can continue to help communities prepare for and recover from disasters of all kinds, said Liebsch.

"This Spring has seen a series of devastating natural disasters hit the South and Midwest regions of the United States. Between the recent flooding of towns all along the Mississippi River and the deadly storms and tornadoes that have ripped through communities, there is urgent need now and for the foreseeable future to safeguard and rebuild these communities said Captain Daniel Lewis, Vice President of USFRA. Arming our volunteers with the tools they need to help these communities is a daunting task at best, especially during an economic downturn; but now we have the opportunity to supplement our funding, thus allowing our DRT to hit the ground running."

I could not be happier that the decision was made to do this, said Brandi Hodgen of Chasing4Life. The number of volunteers we have wanting to respond has grown immensely this year, but outfitting these teams is a massive effort in itself. It can be frustrating to train teams that we cannot get on the ground simply because of small financial obstacles or lack of equipment. In light of the recent tragedy in Joplin, the pressure is being felt more than ever before.

Hodgen also pointed out that responding to disasters must always be in a coordinated effort with authorities, and that trained teams should always work through a liaison organization rather than self-deploying.

Many disaster education and relief organizations use IT'S A DISASTER! as public education materials for communities before and following a crisis since the book explains what people should think about and do before, during and after specific types of scenarios, as well as how to administer basic first aid.

"Everyone that I have spoken with after they receive a copy is very pleased with the information and easy to read format", said Howard Pierpont DERA Chairman - Board of Directors. We are firm believers in education and preparedness and this book puts valuable data directly into the hands of those that can benefit the most. Individuals and their neighbors are first on scene and may be called on to provide immediate assistance as the response system is often stretched to their limits. This book is a wonderful aid in how to provide for yourself and your loved ones during times of need.

Since 1999 FedHealth has been working with U.S. and Canadian officials and organizations to spread awareness and get hundreds of thousands of copies of ITS A DISASTER! into homes and businesses while donating millions in cash and match to First Responders and nonprofit groups.

For more information please visit http://www.itsadisaster.net

Chasing4Life is an educational organization with a vision to change the way America views the issue of disaster preparedness. C4L's educators present over 800 programs nationwide each year reaching hundreds of thousands of people. http://www.chasing4life.org

The Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Response Association, International (DERA) assists communities worldwide in disaster preparedness, response and recovery, and serves as a professional association linking professionals, volunteers, and organizations active in all phases of emergency preparedness and management. http://www.disasters.org

U.S. First Responders Association is a non-profit, professional and social network of firefighters, EMS, rescue, police officers, military and civilian support teams. USFRA advances the profession of fire, emergency, police and military services by focusing on Training, Tactics, Safety, Education and Community Outreach. http://www.usfra.org

Zentrip Maker Offers Tips for Boaters and Fishermen in Fending Off Seasickness

Torrance, CA (PRWEB) October 21, 2011

Sato Pharmaceutical, maker of Zentrip, reports that with all the devices and preventative medications on the market, there is no reason today to fear seasickness when fishing from a boat or traveling by ship.

The key is in realizing that since seasickness is created by a mismatch between the balance the ear feels through its semicircular canals and the balance that the eye sees, the ear can send signals to a part of the brain that tells you that youre in distress. "This gives new meaning to the old saw, 'dont rock the boat'," says Walter Morimoto, sales manager for Zentrip.

To aid in preventing seasickness, scientists in Japan created Zentrip, a novel medicated strip for motion and seasickness that dissolves in seconds on the tongue and quickly goes to work in restoring a calm feeling.

The developers of Zentrip suggest that anyone going on a boat can avoid or ease the queasiness attributable to seasickness by following these simple rules:

On a boat, choose a seat in the middle, preferably on deck.

Keep your head still and focus on the distant horizon.

Close your eyes and avoid looking at fast-moving objects, such as waves or other vistas and scenery.

Hip Hop Connect Heats Up Grammy Season With New Tracks From KRS-One, KNaan, Nneka, Ziggy Marley, Talib Kweli and Les Nubians.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 21, 2011

In addition to helping Fitzpatrick and filmmaker Robert Adetuyi (Beat the World, Stomp the Yard) create an original sound and title track for their new international dance drama, they created an anthem for the evolution of the global Hip Hop movement.

Reggae Icon Ziggy Marley and Nigerian-born powerhouse Nneka joined forces to unveil another simple but crucial theme with the global soul track Express Yourself: reinforcing our need and right for self-expression, whether through music, dance, art, film or freedom of speech.

Other notable collaborations include the heroic Infinite Love, featuring top British rapper Sway with renowned lyrical wordsmith Talib Kweli, and the multilingual world-beat dance track Must Be the Music performed by Les Nubians (France), Lina (US) and MV Bill (Brazil).

The Beat The World Original Soundtrack is the first international Hip Hop soundtrack featuring cross-cultural collaborations between such highly prominent and socially conscious artists. Grammy nominated songwriter/producer Frank Fitzpatrick traveled the globe to write and record original songs with these innovative artists to show how the powerful influence of global Hip Hop culture can inspire, empower and unite people around the world.

New Book, People Who Raised Me Beyond, Describes Academic Accomplishments of Dr. Kristin Rytter, Despite Significant Disabilities

Round Lake, IL (PRWEB) December 22, 2010

Don Johnston Incorporated, the assistive technology developer of literacy software and accommodations for persons with disabilities, celebrates a new book, People Who Raised Me Beyond, written by Dr. Kristin Rytter. Rytter who has lived with quadriplegia since birth was thought to be unteachable. In 2007, she became the first person to receive a PhD in Developmental Psychology from the University of Washington.

People Who Raised Me Beyond describes Rytters life and academic accomplishments despite living with cerebral palsy and no speech. Readers will appreciate her determination through the love of family, guidance from teachers and the use of an assistive technology writing tool, called Co:Writer which became Rytters voice. She used the tool to write presentations on a MacBook Pro with a Morse code interface. In 2006, she defended her doctoral dissertation to improve the pre-literacy experiences of toddlers with motor and speech impairments through intervention.

Ruth Ziolkowski, president of Don Johnston and publisher of Co:Writer said, Kristin proves to the world that high expectations are essential for people with disabilities. Her book will help us to better understand the barriers and obstacles that people with disabilities face. Through her spirit, the support of family and teachers, and writing accommodations she was able to reach the highest academic degree, start a career and self-publish her first book.

Co:Writer acts like a personal writing assistant and uses FlexSpell technology to accurately predict words. The software is beneficial for persons who have poor motor skills who often experience fatigue when keyboarding. It is also useful for poor spellers or people with writing disorders, such as dysgraphia. Users can select words with a mouse, keyboard or switch and set accessibility features such as alternate keyboard input options, rate of speech and voices for text-to-speech output. The writing accommodation includes hundreds of K-12 curriculum dictionaries and postsecondary vocabulary.

Co:Writer helped me express my thoughts and speed up the writing process, said Dr. Rytter. Without this tool, Im not sure how I would have completed my coursework and my book. I hope that more people will hear my message that we shouldnt just write off individuals with disabilities and that they can achieve great results, just like I did.

November, 29, 2010 marked the 35th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act that supports high expectations for students with disabilities.Every educator has a responsibility to embrace Kristens story and to help all children reach their optimum learning potential, said Ruth Ziolkowski. Dr. Rytter is an inspiration to all of us!

With you Japan was created by Sato to help empower child-care professionals in Japan to provide proactive care to the thousands of children affected by the recent disasters.

This sponsorship is a gift to the children of Japan. We want them to know that we have not forgotten about the tragedies they have faced and continue to face today. Many of these children are without parents, and we want to provide the means necessary to help them rebuild their lives, said Henry Marsh, U.S. Olympian and MonaVie founder and vice chairman. As a company, our mission is to create A More Meaningful Life, and this is just the start of many things we will do with Sato and his charity, With you Japan.

During Indy 500 qualifying, Sato averaged speeds of 227 mph and will start in the 10th position at this years 100th anniversary race, which airs Sunday, May 29, at noon (ET) live on ABC.

About With you Japan

The With you Japan program was created by Takuma Sato, who quickly recognized the tremendous amount of ongoing support that so many of the children in Japan will need for months and years to come.

With you Japan will assist these young, innocent survivors as they cope with losing members of their family, as well as friends, teachers and even their homes. For many, their lives were changed forever in an instant.

All proceeds raised through this program will be provided through With you Japans association with Hollywood-based Children Mending Hearts, a 501 c (3) registered charity that will help empower local child-care professionals in Japan to provide responsive and proactive care to thousands of children as they try to move forward with their lives.

ScanBizCards Business Card Reader Announces the Availability of a Manual Transcription Option for Business Cards on iOS and Android Mobile Devices

New York, New York (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

ScanBiz Mobile Solutions today announced the availability of an option to submit business cards for manual transcription in both the iPhone and Android versions of the application. While ScanBizCards' normal operation remains scanning card images using OCR technology within seconds on the phone, manual transcription meets the needs of some business professionals who prefer 100% accuracy every time through human verification. The manual transcription option carries an additional modest fee.

Unlike some other manual transcription apps, ScanBizCards uses an in-house dedicated transcription team - not the Amazon Mechanical Turk service - for increased privacy, more accurate results and much faster completion time. While ScanBizCards just became the best manual transcription option on iOS devices, it is the only transcription option currently available on Android phones and tablets. All manually transcribed cards appear in the same digital rolodex as other scanned cards, and all of ScanBizCards 32 advanced management and networking features are available for manually transcribed cards. In addition, all cards are accessible in real time from any browser in the user's ScanBizCards Web Sync account.

ScanBizCards is unlike any other business card reader with features usually reserved for full-blown, expensive enterprise CRM applications. Built specifically for the networked web, ScanBizCards 3.11 boasts new features that turn the iPhone into a powerful contact relationship management device. Support is available for scanning cards in 22 languages: Czech, Danish, English, German, Greek, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Lithuanian, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovakian, Spanish, Serbian, Swedish, Turkish and Vietnamese.

Simply snapping a picture of a business card effortlessly adds its information to contacts, then enables a series of actions to follow-up, connect and forward the cards information to colleagues and partners through multiple web and mobile channels.

Exporting options include a direct export into Salesforce.com or Daylite CRM as well as exporting into an Excel CSV for integration with other CRM apps or apps such as Constant Contact, or exporting contacts to Data.com (Jigsaw) and Evernote. ScanBizCards is also the only iPhone scanning application with real-time backup of cards to the cloud, synchronization of cards across multiple devices as well as a web-based application to manage cards from any browser.

ScanBizCards is also a full desktop scanning solution enabling the upload of card images from a flatbed scanner for scanning online - all fully synchronized with iOS and Android devices, allowing office workers to share cards in real time with a mobile workforce. ScanBizCards turns business cards (or any image) into opportunities by putting a powerful mobile contact, social networking and calendar management system in the palm of your hand.

As ScanBizCards evolved into an increasingly powerful and complex card management tool used on multiple mobile devices as well as the desktop, the volume of cards scanned by many users kept increasing and it became evident that offering a manual transcription option was necessary to meet the needs of some users. Delivering that functionality enable access to all 32 extended ScanBizCards features to a new set of business cards power users," says Patrick Questembert, Co-Founder, ScanBiz Mobile Solutions.

Device Requirements:

iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad or Android 2.0 devices or above
Note: the iPad 2 and iPod Touch cameras are not sufficient for good photos of business cards. Using the application on these devices requires importing photos from another device.

Pricing and Availability: ScanBizCards Business Card Reader is $ 6.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) for the iPhone and iOS devices, and $ 4.99 for the Android version. The manual transcription option is an additional $ 0.18/card.

WinRAR 4.10 Beta 1 Now Available

Berlin (PRWEB) October 21, 2011

win.rar GmbH and RARLAB present the first beta version of WinRAR 4.10. The worlds leading compression software has incorporated a number of innovations for the ZIP-format. With WinRAR there are no restrictions in size and number of files in ZIP archives anymore. The WinRAR user interface has been optimized, encrypted archives can be converted and SFX-options for self-extracting archives and installers have been improved.

Optimization of ZIP-support

With the current beta 4.10 WinRAR significantly improves support for ZIP-archives. Today many users still fall back to sending ZIP-archives, when they dont know if recipients can unpack RAR-archives. Until now this meant losing a huge RAR benefit (no limits on file size and number), because ZIP support in WinRAR was limited to archives less than 2GB and 65535 files per archive. WinRAR 4.10 removes these limitations, bringing ZIP support closer to RAR-archives.

WinRAR users have always benefited from so called split archives (or multi-volumes). Split archives are ideal for distributing large archives such as movie files or music collections. They can be stored and distributed in multiple archives and can be sent easily over the internet. To satisfy user demand and to maintain compatibility with other formats, WinRAR now allows multi-volumes in ZIP format.

In contrast to split-archives in RAR format, multi-volume ZIPs cannot be self-extracting. As an alternative to ZIP archives WinRAR users can rely on self-extracting-split RAR archives. With self-extracting split RAR archives recipients can easily open and extract the archives even if they have no compression software installed.

WinRAR has offered many great features for years: Among them are solid archiving, recovery records, which allow reconstructing damaged files, converting functions and many security options. WinRAR sets the benchmark with high compression rates, its stability and minimal use of disk space. Apart from the RAR format, WinRAR also supports a long list of non-RAR formats, like the ZIP-format, and therefore offers the best compatibility in its class.

In addition WinRAR 4.10 comes with improvements in the user interface, especially regarding volume size and improved security settings when deleting temporary files.

The popular feature convert archives has been optimized to allow converting encrypted archives. Finally, RARLAB has introduced new commands for WinRAR command line, and has improved the SFX-modules for self-extracting archives and installers.

More information on improved items and fixed bugs can be found here:

http://www.win-rar.com/whatsnew.html


Another tip: for all Windows-64-bit users, it is highly recommended to install the WinRAR 64-bit version. It is faster and offers best available integration. WinRARs compression speed in Windows Vista and Windows 7 or any other multi-core-system has been increased considerably.

The new beta 1 version of WinRAR 4.10 can be donwloaded from http://www.win-rar.com/index.php?id=predownload&dl=/rar/wrar41b1.exe. We will inform you, as soon as the final version or WinRAR 4.10 is available.

WinRAR is available in more than 40 different languages and is compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7. The command line version of WinRAR is also available for Linux. FreeBSD and MAC OS X.

About WinRAR:

WinRAR is the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows version of the RAR Archiver, the powerful archiver and archive manager, which supports also multi-core-processors. RAR files can usually compress content up to 30 percent more effectively than ZIP files. The most important functions of WinRAR include extremely powerful document and multimedia file compression, processing of other archive formats, programmable self-extracting archives (SFX), damaged archive repair, authenticity verification, Unicode support and archive encryption. WinRAR is available in over 40 different languages and runs on Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7. The command line version of RAR is available for Linux, FreeBSD and MAC OS X.

About win.rar GmbH:

win.rar GmbH has been the official distributor of WinRAR and RARLAB products since February 2002 and handles all support, marketing and sales related to WinRAR & rarlab.com. win.rar GmbH is registered in Germany and is represented worldwide by local partners in more than 70 countries on six continents. win.rars declared objective is to provide first-class quality support and to optimize their software to meet customers requirements in accordance with their valued feedback.

Jamaica's First Family of Tourism Puts Families First with Affordable Vacations at SuperClubs Resorts

Hollywood, FL (PRWEB) June 13, 2008

Today's families have it tough when it comes to planning vacations. Several generations of one family can be scattered across towns, cities and even countries, and with their varied, hectic schedules, getting them all together can be a logistical and pricey nightmare. This summer, family-run SuperClubs Resorts comes to the rescue with affordable family vacation packages in three tropical Caribbean locales that take away the "pricey" part of the equation.

May 1 kicks off the "Kids Stay, Play & Eat Free" promotion, where children ages 2-13 years can stay absolutely free -- a daily saving of $ 100 for a family of four! Single parents are covered too, with a waiver of the usual single supplement.

"Budget, destination and timing are the three biggest priorities for families today, and finding options that will please working parents, grandparents with time and money to spare, college-age kids, and tiny tots can be challenging," said Zein Nakash, SuperClubs' vice president of marketing, who is also a mother of two, a twin sister, full-time working executive, and daughter of John Issa, who introduced the first all-inclusive resorts for the American traveler more than 30 years ago.

Nakash added: "All-inclusives are always a solid value for families, especially when they are true all-inclusives that fix costs before you even get on the plane, and offer a wide array of activities for all age groups and interests without charging extra for them. This summer especially, we've got the best vacation values for families."

Family Adventures at Starfish Trelawny, Jamaica -- This mecca for adventurous families offer teens a private island hideaway just a short swim away, windsurfing and flying trapeze lessons. At the Kid's Club, supervised, age-specific programs keep toddlers entertained, while adult pampering is available at the Blue Mahoe Spa. Nightly rates start at $ 74 per adult; $ 50 per child (age 2-13). No single supplement!

Author Presents Enlightening, Analytical Interpretation of the Book of Revelation

Belleville, Ontario (PRWEB) October 07, 2011

In her new book Apocalyptic Tremors: Study the Revelation Like Never Before (published by WestBow Press) C.R. Chapman investigates the Book of Revelation as an end time prophecy and, through the use of numerous examples and references, presents readers with meaningful and scriptural understanding of the many signs and symbolisms in this ancient holy text.

For nearly 2,000 years, readers of the Bible have considered, analyzed and interpreted the meaning of the final book in the New Testament, the Book of Revelation. The sheer number of views on this book is baffling, but one of the most prevalent interpretations of the Book of Revelation is that it is a prophetic warning of apocalyptic days of Gods judgment. Many of the warnings and events are in the form of symbolism which Chapman has methodically and diligently examined in Apocalyptic Tremors.

The most exclusive and distinctive symbol to Apocalyptic Tremors is the Harvest Rapture which reflects ancient past and mirrors tomorrows future hope. Chapman asserts the Harvest Rapture is essential to correctly understanding end times.

Apocalyptic Tremors, complete with many charts, graphs and diagrams, presents a detailed analysis of the Book of Revelation for anyone including students and teachers, groups and individuals seeking understanding, end time purpose, and hope in the Apocalypse.

About the Author

She spent two years in Newfoundland as a child evangelist, and she taught Bible and English classes in Kenya.

Local Alums Give Miami College Students a Break on Textbooks at TheBookPost.com

Miami, FL (PRWEB) August 24, 2007

Students of FIU have long been at the mercy of local/campus textbook retailers, having to face high prices at the beginning of the semester, and low buy-back offers at the end. But Patricia and Roberto Espinoza are working to change that. Their free service, http://www.thebookpost.com, available to FIU and other regional students, offers a bulletin board format that allows users to browse textbooks for sale by fellow students, or to post their used texts for others to purchase.

Interested students exchange information via email or phone, and deal directly with one another. The service is free to use, and the student-to-student format avoids the need for shipping costs or retail markups, making it the best textbook deal available in the FIU area.

Rene, an FIU student who has used the service, raved that "I found the book I needed cheap and got it the same day;" while classmate Elisa A. noted that she sold her book within two days. Connecting students with each other not only avoids lines and frustration at the local textbook stores, but also tends to build community in the area. The service isn't limited to FIU students, though, as all Miami area students are welcome to post and purchase.

"We wanted to create this website for students to get a break on their textbook budget, this is our way to support students at our Alma Mater and those in the rest of colleges in Miami," notes Patricia. Both her and husband Roberto are alumni of FIU, and currently run CPC Computer Consultants, Inc., in Miami.

CPC Computer Consultants is a full-service web hosting, web design and e-commerce provider, and specializes in serving individuals and small businesses locally. TheBookPost.com was developed and is hosted via CPCCCI.com.

TheBookPost.com offers a user-friendly format, along with secure login and quick downloads. The majority of the book listings include a list price, asking price and even a photo. Returning FIU and area students are urged to check http://www.TheBookPost.com before laying out hundreds of dollars at local textbook retailers this fall.

Online Floral Arrangements Website, EZBloomers.com Launches iPad 2 Giveaway Via Facebook

Indialantic, Florida (PRWEB) November 22, 2011

Online floral arrangement company EZBloomers.com has launched a contest driven by Facebook to win an iPad 2 valued at $ 499. The contest is going on now and will announce the winner via Facebook at the end of February 2012.

Facebook fans will see the landing page but no registration is required. The online floral arrangement website has simply asked fans to purchase a floral arrangement from EZBloomers.com between November and February to instantly be entered to win the grand prize. EZBloomers.com hopes that Facebook users will share the information by clicking on the ad to post on their wall to alert their friends as well.

Besides the current promotion to win the iPad 2, every month EZBloomers.com provides an additional sweepstakes to win a floral arrangement (valued at $ 50). Only current Facebook fans can enter and are eligible to win the contest. To enter the contest all applicants have to like EZBloomers on Facebook and complete the form after they click on the Sweepstakes tab underneath their profile image.

EZBloomers.com hopes that both contests will help increase the sites engagement as well as build up buzz on their social media sites to highlight their unique way of sending flowers. "We have a big challenge by going up against the major internet floral retailers in our space. We came to the conclusion that florists must no longer deal with minuscule profits due to larger corporations dominating this industry and not giving local florists much beyond the cost of their products, says Kimba Vasquez, President of EZBloomers.com. We understand that the way we do business is revolutionary in our space and its sometimes difficult to get the word out on what we do.

Facebook and Twitter have accelerated EZBloomer.coms message on how the site saves florists as well as consumers money when purchasing flower arrangements online.

To become a fan of EZBloomers.com's Facebook page and learn more about their current contest and promotions, and communicate with other fans, please like them today at http://www.facebook.com/ezbloomers and/or follow them on Twitter at http://twitter.com/ezbloomers.

About EZBloomers.com: One of the leading online resources working to link top local florists with consumers, EZBloomers.com (http://www.ezbloomers.com/) offers custom floral arrangements without the high-priced service fees that have monopolized the online floral industry. No service fees allow the total amount to go towards what their customers order, allowing for a better quality product and ultimately the best value.

BestMassage.com Launches Its Facebook Page

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 23, 2011

BestMassage has a new way of reaching current customers as well as potential customers using the worlds premier social networking site, Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/BestMassage.Store. BestMassage.com joined the site recently and has been posting status updates regarding its new massage table releases, discounts available on its massage supplies, company news, questions for customers, massage industry related articles, and inspirational quotes ever since.

Joining Facebook is one of the best ways to reach our current customers and new ones on a daily basis, reveals Peter Wang, Marketing Director of BestMassage.com. Indeed, recent reports have shown that there are more than 600 million users on Facebook worldwide and almost half of those users login to Facebook on a daily basis. The ability to reach so many people so quickly and so easily is really awe-inspiring, says Wang.

One of the chief reasons we wanted to join Facebook was to engage with our customers and find out what they really think of our massage products and services as well as get their feedback on issues related to the massage and wellness industry, said Wang. We have been posting questions on out site that are meant to stimulate conversation amongst our fans and give us a look into their minds and lives. Some of the queries posted on their Facebook page include Body workers - aside from your massage table, which supplies do you use most often? and Massage therapists and massage fans - what makes a massage "good" for you? The environment? The massage table/equipment? We want to hear your thoughts!

Another enticing reason to join Facebook is the effect it might have on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) ratings although no SEO experts has confirmed that the more posts, fans, likes, comments and other activity a company has on its Facebook page, the higher its SEO ratings. It is important to maintain high SEO ratings when you work in a competitive industry like selling massage tables and massage products. You want to make sure you are on top of the list when customers search for you online, asserts Wang.

Additionally, Facebook allows a company to track its fans genders, ages and locations through use of Facebook analytics. Being able to see who the fans are is a huge asset for us and knowing this information will allow us to tailor our company to better suit our customers, says Wang.

According to Peter Wang, We are truly thrilled to be part of Facebook. We are always looking for new ways to engage with our customers and find out what is really important to them. We plan to update our status on a daily basis so customers can get in on special offers on massage products as well as get abreast of the latest news in the massage industry. Our next online project is to start a presence on Twitter.com!

The Best and Worst Ways to Do the Stuff That Really Matters for November 8, 2011

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 08, 2011

If you ask enough people, youre bound to get the right answer sooner or later. Thats the thinking behind 1001BestWays.com, which publishes its readers Best Ways to raise children, save money, advance a career, fall in love, stay in love, and more.

Their unedited responses are read daily by over 15,000 Twitter followers, the readers of 1001BestWays.com, and the buyers of the book series.

1001 Best Ways is the lifetime experiences of hundreds and thousands of people., says publisher Paul Angles, Every day, I am humbled by the collective wisdom people so willingly share.

Best Ways To Save Money

Saving at the 99 cent store: I shop at the 99 cent store. Many of my products that I use daily (IE hand soap, paper towels, plastic utensils, etc) do not need to be name brand and I save money by going generic. In addition, some non-perishable food can be purchased there, such as beans and canned goods. Since everything is only 99 cents, you can save a lot of money, which is great for a poor college student such as myself.

Best Ways To Raise Kids

Let Them Be Kids: I say let a kid be a kid and show them respect just as you would another adult. I believe there are so many kids that are mistreated just because the parents are frustrated with their own lives. I try to resepect my child and not take my problems out on him.

Best Ways To Maintain Relationships

Strong, Open Communications: Communication is key. With strong and open communication you can over come so many hurdles. Listen, be able to talk about things without arguing.

Best Ways To Travel

See Florida Parks With A Disabled Vet: I live in florida and the state parks have free passes for disabled veterans who can have a party of up to eight people with them. It's a lifetime pass with no fees and only a few parks are an exception to the rule.

Best Ways To Save The Planet

Sell Your Car: I sold my car and walk or bike to anywhere i have to go within 10 miles. Anything after 10 mile I either get a ride with a friend or take the bus. I REFUSE TO PAY FOR GAS anymore...it hurts the environment.

Best Ways To Advance Your Career

Business Degree Opens Doors: The best thing I ever did to advance my career was to obtain a college degree from Penn State. My degree was in Business Management. It helped open numerous doors for me that previously were unavailable.

Best Ways To Cook

Chillies and rice: to reduce the spicy effect of chillies, put some pieces of bread. Put a few drops in rice while boiling to prevent it sticking

Best Ways To Clean

Mr. Clean Vanilla Lavender: I really have to say for general cleaning I use Mr. Clean Vanilla Lavender Febreeze cleaner. It smells very good and works well. It leaves a lovely fragrance and makes your whole house smell great.

Best Ways To Maintain Your Health

The old saying was right: i want to stay healthy,so for that i eat an apple every morning.it says that because of this thing you get enough minerals for the whole day.This thing works i have a neighbor that has 90 years old,and he took an apple every day from the age of 30.

Best Ways To Get An Education

Slowly But Surely To Build Confidence: My youngest son was pushed in school to read before he was ready and as a result was frustrated and discouraged. I found a series of books about a dog named Biscuit. The books were simple with only a few lines on each page with easy words. I had him read them to me each night at his own pace, and it built up his confidence knowing that he *could* read.

Best Ways To Experience The Divine

The Bible Is The Revealed Word: I believe in the God of the Bible. It's his revealed word to us and is the best way to understand and know him.

Best Ways To Accept Mortality

Leave The World A Better Place: I think the best way to deal with mortality is to try to leave the world a better place because you've been here. Find some way you can help. Volunteer for meals on wheels; donate to charity if you can afford to; make a daily effort to be kind to people; reduce your impact on the environment; and/or work to better your community by getting involved in community activities.

Best Ways To Celebrate The Holidays

Listen To Crazy Hanukkah Music: We like to listen to crazy Hanukkah music from all over the world, in all different styles. We've found surfer music, rap, blues and Ladino madrigals from Spain.

Best Ways To Be Romantic

Birthday Pinecones: I once had a girlfriend that upon hearing that no one celebrated my birthday that year, she came to my house one night throwing pine cones at my window. When I looked outside she had a birthday cake for me.

Best Ways To Be Creative

Use Your Imagination: To inspire creativity in a child you have to use your imagination. Take them to a place that they can picture in their mind and ask them what they see. Have them draw a picture of where they are to make it even more real.

Best Ways To Be Beautiful

Practice smiling: I practice smiling. Everyone notices and appreciates smiles and I find that no matter who the person is, no one has ever said that so and so has an ugly smile. Even when I'm not smiling, I work on keeping my mouth at a neutral yet pretty pose, so that no one thinks I may be frowning.

Best Ways To Raise Pets

People with fur: A good pet secret is to love your animals, just like a person. The more love you show towards your animal, the more respect they will have towards you and listen to you.

Best Ways To Grow Plants

Keep them in the bathroom: I wasn't always good at having indoor plants. My secret now to growing and nurturing them is to keep plants that require lots of water in the bathroom, so that every time I go to the restroom, I give them a bit of water if they don't have water in the drip tray. So, location is the most important part of plant care for me.

Best Ways To Be Happy

My Dogs Make Me Happy: Happiness for me comes from my precious dogs. They make me laugh. I watch them chase the squirrels and then be taunted by the squirrels. The inner joy and goodness I get from them is just priceless.

Best Ways To Cope With Family

Count to 10: I always count to ten before answering a question that is asked "impolitely". This happens more than it should when you have 5 people in a house and everyone is under the same stress from the situation. Keeping your head when stress is high is important for peace.

Best Ways To Coach A Team

Sabre Fencing: Remain Calm: During my first sabre fencing competition, I was doing pretty badly. My coach told me to remain calm, advance slowly, and to alternate attacking straight on with counter-attacking. I didn't think my opponent would fall for it, but she did, and I won that bout.

Best Ways To Master Computers

Find It On Google: The web of confusion that we call "operating systems" can be extremely off putting. The main piece of advice that i can give you is that chances are there are some other people out there that have had the same problem. Therefore, chances are that the solution has already been figured out and can be found on google.

Best Life Lessons

Never Go Backwards: the most important life lesson I've learned from my time here is not to go backwards. It solves nothing. Life involves moving forward and ahead. Looking back will only cause you to stagnate

Best Ways To Have Fun

Drunken Fun: I have a blast hanging out with my friends competing in various ways...while drunk. We play video games, board games, card games, you name it. If a clear winner can be determined chances are we
