Displaysense set to ‘liven’ up shop windows

Retailers up and down the UK who want to add something extra to their shop displays can now book a live mannequin to appear in their shop window to really make their products stand out from the crowd.

Displaysense – the leading shop display and fittings retailer – has decided to introduce live mannequins to its extensive product range following a recent episode of the BBC’s Apprentice, where contestants used themselves as live mannequins to attract shoppers in Manchester’s Trafford Centre.

Contestants – who are competing to become Lord Alan Sugar’s next apprentice – were hoping to boost sales by drawing more customers into the shops and as the show proved, a pretty girl in an eye-catching dress really did attract the crowds.

Thanks to Displaysense, now you’ll be able to use the same powers of persuasion to encourage people to visit your store.

From mid-January 2011, the real life mannequins will be available to order via the Displaysense website for a cost of approximately £199+VAT per day.

Although this will not be the first time that live mannequins have been used, it will be the first time that retailers can go online to book their slot and pay a fixed price for a live mannequin.

Steve Whittle, marketing director at Displaysense, commented: “Real people in real windows can work for the right store.

“For example, a shop window showing a kitchen display could have the model demonstrating a range of products. Or a fashion retailer might want the ‘live mannequins’ to show a range of the latest fashion clothing at various times in the day.”

Enquiries about live mannequins flooded in following the airing of this particular episode of the Apprentice and the company has decided to step up to meet its customers’ needs.

Since its inception in 1978, Displaysense has provided attractive and quality options for shop displays and shop fittings.

Offering live mannequins will just be the next step in the organisation’s evolution, which has seen it grow from its ‘shed-based’ operation in Hertfordshire into an international retailer.

Mr Whittle stated: “Our business is all about helping our retail customers sell more and if that means offering real mannequins then that is what we will do.”

However, he added that this won’t spell the end for the company’s traditional line of products.

“Real life mannequins may be a great addition to shop window display campaigns, but we will of course continue to offer a fantastic range of fibreglass mannequins which are far less costly, last much longer than a day and don’t need food or drink!”

And with live mannequins to complement the fibreglass options, Britain’s high streets could become a lot more interesting for shoppers in future.

Displaysense certainly thinks so – and the company is even in talks with a large high street retailer to set up a window catwalk that combines live models with their fibreglass counterparts to breathe a bit more life into shop displays.

In the age of online shopping bricks and mortar outlets are fighting to boost their business – only time will tell whether using such methods will bring Britain’s high streets back to life.

Ends

Displaysense has been working in the shop displays sector since 1978 when it started out in Hertfordshire. Since then, the organisation has grown substantially and now manufactures its extensive range of products in 25 countries around the world.

Orders can be shipped anywhere in the world and the company constantly seeks to update and improve its offerings. Following a philosophy of choice, value and service, Displaysense’s customers can rest assured that they will receive the best products from the leading shop display and fittings retailer.

Ponting Edges Internet Battle with Strauss despite England’s Impressive Ashes Start

Leave a comment

England’s attempt to retain the Ashes on Australian soil has begun with great promise after a record-breaking performance with the bat in the First Test was followed by an impressive showing with the ball on day one of the Second Test in Adelaide.

But despite England’s imposing start down under, the Aussies are well in front in the battle of both captains’ online popularity.

Internet research spanning the main social networks indicates that Ricky Ponting has a greater online profile compared to his opposite number, Andrew Strauss.

People search website, kgbPeople.com, have spent hours crunching all the important numbers using in-depth algorithms and at this early stage in the Ashes series, Ponting leads Strauss by 10,435 points to 6,187.

Ponting, by his high standards, has been relatively poor in the series so far with an average of 20 and a golden duck in the opening minutes of the Second Test. Meanwhile, Strauss bounced back from an early duck to hit an impressive 110 and put his side in a commanding position in Brisbane – yet still lags behind his opposite number on the web.

The figures are based on numerous factors, including Facebook fans and Twitter followers.

Trevor Saadi, Head of Online Business of kgbPeople, says: “Ponting may be out in front at the minute but these are early days. We’re calling out to all English fans to address this balance by simply becoming fans and followers of Strauss of Facebook and Twitter. Our search algorithm will be able to work out which captain has ultimately gone for a duck, or smashed a six out of the ground!

“Ricky is clearly one of the biggest names in cricket, being a former Wisden and ICC Cricketer of the Year yet with England’s population doubling that of Australia, we’re hoping we can help Straussy edge the battle off the pitch as well as on it.”

Leave a comment

The unique thing about ConceptsClasses is that these classes are online, live and interactive.

“Worldwide, the concept of eLearning is catching up very fast. Students love the convenience of learning from the comfort of home. However, with pre-recorded online training, there are high chances of students getting bored because of lack of interaction with teachers and other students. On the other hand, in classroom sessions, although students need to spend a lot of time in travelling for classes, they get a chance to interact with their teacher and get their doubts clarified. With ConceptClasses, we have got the best of both the worlds and we are proud to introduce such type of coaching for the first time in India”, said Sanjay Mansabdar, Chief Executive Officer, ClearConcepts Knowledge Services.

Making the best use of online environment, ConceptClasses foster genuine comprehension through the appropriate use of colour, animations, accurate and interesting figures, video and virtual experiments.

At ClearConcepts, all the technology, materials and pedagogy are designed to support this.

There are several cool features in ConceptClasses. These include: TestLabs to allow students to understand their performance under various marking schemes and learn to strategize appropriately, BridgeQuizzes to solidify student understanding, Online Assessments to familiarize students with the actual entrance exam, Online Calendar to help students keep track of classes, tutorials, last date to take a quiz, assignment submissions, holidays, test dates etc.

“Our first batch has kicked off really well and we are very pleased with the progress. In one of our recent PTA meetings, the parents of the students shared very encouraging feedback with us. They all loved the fact that they had complete access to the student’s progress data about extent of efforts being put in by the student, the student’s capability and the results obtained from those efforts. This helps them in getting actual picture about their child’s progress with accurate data rather than just interpretation by their teachers. This makes them feel more involved in their child’s education”, said Deepak Babu, an ardent blogger on education in general and Head of Academic Programmes at ClearConcepts Knowledge Services.

Both Sanjay and Deepak are IIT graduates who are passionate about education and believe in its ability to make a very significant difference to a student’s life.

Leave a comment

Cancer survivor, explorer, Mother, inventor (www.PropupPillow.com) and Realtor Macarena Rose is proud to announce she’s in the running to be the next host of TV’s “Paradise Hunters.” The show, which visits people around the world who are living their dreams in their version of paradise, is looking for a person who loves exploring new worlds and meeting the people who call them home.

Macarena certainly fits that description. Born and raised in Washington, DC, she lived in St. Petersburg Florida for 20 years and then moved to Cayo District, Belize with her 15-year-old daughter five years ago, with 10 animals in tow.

“Since moving to Belize, life has been such an adventure. No monotony for sure!” she says on her website,  macarenarose.com. “I have been blessed to have had dinner with a prime minister, coach the semi pro Men’s futbol (soccer) team, be the voice on the SMART cell phone in Belize, host a weekly TV show featuring Belizeans lives and become part of Belize and sign the Bi-Lateral agreement with N.A.R. (National Association of Realtors) accepting Belize National Association of Realtors as an Cooperating Association.” Macarena says, “See, I believe if you are to relocate anywhere, you must bring good to where you go, and decide what it is you will do, before you go.” Macarena has done that, as an ordained Minister she has helped children in the education, arts and the feeding programs. Her life is “real” and she loves to show others how to “Keep it Real” in their own life.

Through her work as a Realtor, Macarena says she has become a relocation specialist, helping people find the right home for them, wherever in the world that may be. She has also made herself quite at home in Belize. In her audition video, she gives viewers an in-depth look at the country, with all the passion and knowledge of an expert tour guide.

“Ah! It’s pitahaya!” she exclaims while visiting a local market. “I have to tell you: it looks like an artichoke, but inside it tastes like a red kiwi and it is luscious… it grows all over Belize.”

As if the way she lives her li fe was not enough- Even her very name sets her apart from the competition.

“As your host, I can offer you one thing that no one else can: my name is Macarena, and in many different countries, I can have people do the Macarena,” she says in her video.

Macarena has committed to American Cancer Society and St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital, and we are asking for you to commit to her !

The contest closes December 14, 2010. Time is running out, so go to Macarena’s contest page and VOTE for her to be YOUR host to “Keep It Real”. See here to VOTE for Macarena to keep it “REAL”.

Smiles,

CA Title Loans Providing Low Interest Rates for Holiday Cash Needs

Leave a comment

California (December 06, 2010) – CA Title Loans offers customers a low 6.6 percent interest rate on car title loans in California. Those looking to get extra cash to begin or finish their holiday shopping will find this an extremely low rate given the interest costs from most bank loans. In addition to the low interest rate, the company offers loans to people who would normally not qualify at most banks. Those with poor or otherwise less than perfect credit can obtain a car title loan through the company just as easily as those with a stellar credit rating. No credit check is performed so there is no hit on credit scores and credit is not used to qualify a consumer for a title loan.

Instead of using a credit report, the actual value of the vehicle being used is considered for the loan amount. If a vehicle is worth thousands of dollars then the loan could be worth thousands of dollars as well. A car title loan is simply a loan that is based on the wholesale value of a vehicle. Whatever the vehicle is worth, that is what the loan amount could be. CA Title Loans has loaned up to $100,000 in some cases based on the worth of certain vehicles. Consumers retain the use of their vehicle during the loan and once the loan is paid off, the title is returned to the customer. The only requirement is that the customer has in hand a title that is free from liens, meaning simply that the car has to be completely paid off in order to qualify for a title loan.

The company offers title loans California at hundreds of different locations around the state. Customers can visit the site and fill out the simple form to receive instant approval and instructions on where and how to receive the cash that they need for holiday shopping or any other expense. The actual reason for the loan is completely up to the customer. The application process gets the loan started. Customers will receive a pre-approval notice from the company with clear instructions on the next steps to take to get the cash that they need.

CA Title Loans has more than ten years of experience in helping consumers to get the cash that they need quickly and easily. They are a reputable company in the state of California with thousands of satisfied customers. Those looking for more information or the simply online form can visit the site at http://www.ca-cartitleloans.com.

Sweet, exotic melon water improves performance at work

Leave a comment

Gert Strand AB has, under the brand name Aromhuset, achieved great success with their flavours for carbonated water. There are twenty flavours in the range of 30 ml bottles, all with the same healthy qualities of zero sugar or artificial sweetener, and all fulfilling the stringent taste requirements. The result has been a wide variety of rich flavours, all of which can be combined in endless combinations to create new tastes. The essences are mixed with sparkling water, either home carbonated using a sodastream or shop bought. The essences have been so successful primarily because they are suitable for everybody from children to diabetics and dieters, causing no negative side effects such as sugar shock, dental cavities or increased calorie intake.

Now Aromhuset is launching six of the 20 flavours in larger bottles, developed for workplace water dispensers. One of these flavours is melon, a sweet, refreshing, exotic taste that appeals to most people. The new 270 ml bottle is equipped with a clever pump to make adding the dose simple. For a typical 150 ml plastic cup one pump is enough, while for a half litre bottle 3-4 pumps should suffice. Using this method it is easy to either drink a cup of water on the go, or dose a larger container to take back to your workplace.

The water dispenser at work provides staff with the possibility of topping up their bodies water levels whenever they need to, leading to better health and, not least, increased performance on the job. If you have a dispenser with cold, fresh water, an extra tap for carbonated water, and now also the possibility flavour this water with Aromhuset’s healthy essences, you increase the chances that your employees will remember to – and enjoy – drinking water on a regular basis, thus keeping their senses sharp and maintaining a good mood. Compare this with a cup of lukewarm water from an uninspiring tap, and most people would prefer to head straight for the coffee machine.

Coffee has a negative effect on the water levels in the body as it is a diuretic. It is common to drink coffee at work for a quick “hit” to get refreshed, but it is more likely a sign of dehydration when we start to feel slow. Drinking coffee in this state has the opposite effect, so all employers encouraging their staff to drink water on a regular basis are doing the right thing. One effective way to do this is to offer them fresh water that is both carbonated and flavoured. It is a small investment that quickly yields results.

Salesman for Aromhuset’s products, Thomas Strom, says that having a bottle of Aromhuset’s melon essence next to the water dispenser makes it a pleasure for staff to go there at regular intervals for some well-earned refreshment. Strom also points out that he is on the lookout for new importers for his innovative essences.

Schweizer Award für Berliner Start-up: DELICARDO Foodcard ist Preisträger des aha!award 2010

Leave a comment

DELICARDO Foodcard ist stolzer Preisträger des aha!award 2010 des Schweizerischen Zentrums für Allergie, Haut und Asthma.

Berlin, Germany, December 06, 2010 — Am 18. November in Bern wurde Simone Graebner für die Entwicklung der DELICARDO Foodcard – ein Produkt, das Menschen mit Nahrungsmittelallergien und -Intoleranzen hilft, ihre Lebensqualität zu erhalten – mit dem aha!award 2010 des Schweizerischen Zentrums für Allergie, Haut und Asthma ausgezeichnet.

“…dass wir den Preis gleich im ersten Anlauf nach Berlin holen konnten, macht mich überglücklich! Ich bin sicher, nach Deutschland-Österreich-Schweiz wird uns jetzt auch noch der Sprung über den großen Teich gelingen.”, sagte Simone Graebner, Geschäftsführerin und Gründerin von ENOMIS GmbH. “Unser Ziel ist es, das Leben von Menschen mit Nahrungsmittelallergien und -Intoleranzen beim auswärts Essen und auf Reisen leichter und angenehmer zu machen”.

Die Jungunternehmerin Simone Graebner machte aus der Not eine Tugend: Aus eigener Allergiebetroffenheit entwickelte sie für alle Allergie- und Intoleranz-Betroffenen eine international einsetzbare Gastrokarte als Bitte an den Koch zum Schutz vor Nahrungsmittelunverträglichkeiten. Bereits jetzt zeigen Schweizer HealthCare-Firmen Interesse an dem einzigartigen Berliner Produkt.

Der aha!award ist eine Initiative des aha! Schweizerischen Zentrums für Allergie, Haut und Asthma, steht unter dem Patronat des Bundesamtes für Gesundheit der Schweiz (BAG) und wird von Persönlichkeiten aus Wissenschaft, Medizin und Industrie mitgetragen sowie von innovativen Schweizer Firmen unterstützt. Mit dem aha!award werden herausragende Leistungen und innovative Projekte mit hohem Stellenwert und direktem Nutzen für Allergiebetroffene ausgezeichnet.

Die Empfänger des aha!award 2010 werden von einer Vergabekommission aus namenhaften Ärzten, Stiftsräten, Mitgliedern von aha! und Vertretern des Schweizer Gesundheitsministeriums gewählt. Der Hauptpreis ging an Christian Bohren für sein jahrelanges Engagement in der Bekämpfung des invasiven und hochallergenen Unkrauts Ambrosia. Neben den DELICARDO Foodcards wurde ein Kinderbuch-Konzept zum Thema Neurodermitis von Minca Huber ausgezeichnet.

ENOMIS GmbH, ein Berliner Start-up, hat im Jahr 2009 unter dem Motto “Lebensqualität trotz Allergien und Unverträglichkeiten” die DELICARDO Foodcard als Lifestyle-Produkt für Menschen mit Nahrungsmittelallergien und -Intoleranzen auf dem deutschsprachigen Markt eingeführt. Mit der visitenkartengroßen Karte können Betroffene bei der Bestellung ohne mühsame langwierige Erklärungen den Kellner und Koch dezent und präzise über ihre Allergien und Intoleranzen informieren.
