Best Android Applications And More Regularly Featured At Android Focused Site

Leave a comment

December 10, 2010 – It seems that the California based tech industry giant Google, Inc. has created a monster that everyone can love with its Android smart phone operating system. Not only has it managed to recently climb the ranks against Research in Motion’s Blackberry devices to maintain the No. 2 position behind Apple’s iPhone with far less of an advertising push, consumers are adopting it in greater numbers than ever before. Android phones are hitting the market now at a rapid pace, coming from a variety of the world’s top smart phone manufacturers. Consumers are eager to learn about the best Android applications and it turns out there is a new site, Android Me Up [AndroidMeUp.com] that caters to this crowd of fresh smart phone enthusiasts.

With so much news emerging on a continual basis in the world of Android market applications, the site founders of Android Me Up wanted to provide Android fans both young and old alike with a chance to learn more about all that is happening in the world of Android. Consumers can take advantage of a variety of offerings, including the latest Android related news articles, apps that are featured in greater depth with comprehensive coverage and even a beginner’s guide to getting started using the Android OS. Each of these elements of the site help it to further its goal of becoming the preeminent site online for all things tied to Android.

Smart phone experts do project a strong trajectory for the Android OS as it dovetails nicely with a range of web based applications Google is known for and has the multi billion dollar behemoth’s backing to boot. If things continue along this path, some even project that Google’s Android may eventually dethrone Apple’s popular iPhone as the number one smart phone OS, similar to Google’s dethroning of the Yahoo search engine with its own at the turn of the millennium.

Those interested in learning more about all things Android are encouraged to visit Android Me Up at http://www.AndroidMeUp.com where they can take advantage of all the site has to offer. Regular news updates and plenty of exclusive content keep site visitors coming back for more on a consistent basis.

From Samsung to HTC, from games to utility apps, Android Me Up plans to stay in the game and continue to serve as a one stop resource for Android fans.

Web Masters Now Effortless Integrating The Power Of Paypal And Ebay Into Their Sites

Leave a comment

December 11, 2010 – Ecommerce is rapidly becoming a part of the daily lives of many people, a routine that took online web sites quite some time to establish in the minds of customers. In the past, many web users viewed ecommerce sites with some level of suspicion due to the fact that they were reluctant to conduct transactions over the web. Today, big changes are taking place at even the smallest of ecommerce sites with fluid PayPal integration becoming a popular method by which online merchants can conduct business with their customer base. This is proving to be an ideal solution now that so many consumers now use PayPal and trust this method of paying for products and services they wish to receive.

The daunting task of winning customers over is made much easier by connecting with already well established name brands in the online retail sector. Sites have far less trouble convincing visitors to make a purchase now that they can easily present a familiar way to pay. Some sites are even incorporating eBay integration and leveraging the power of the web’s number one online auction site to their own advantage, making customers feel exceptionally comfortable about doing business with them. The fact that these integration tools make the business of running a successful online retail site even easier is helping a wider range of merchants join the web than ever before, giving consumers even more options and convenience than they enjoyed in the past.

Retail analysts say that this shift in the landscape of the retail sector is going to have a big impact on the future of retail as more and more customers come to the web to make purchases. With shipping being streamlined to accommodate the increase in online sales, customers are better able to buy what they want over the web and save themselves not only money, but time. All of these factors are aligning to create an association, in the mind of today’s shoppers, that connects web shopping with the ultimate in easy shopping. This is taking place across all demographics with even today’s more affluent shoppers often choosing ecommerce sites over the traditional retail stores in their area.

Online retailers, or those looking to enter online retail themselves, should check out http://www.angelleye.com to see how simple it is to integrate a PayPal or Ebay shopping experience into their own sites.

MotorcycleCenter.com has Acquired TheHelmetZone.com

Leave a comment

Las Vegas, NV – December 10, 2010 – MotorcycleCenter.com is pleased to announce that it has acquired TheHelmetZone.com, one of the top online sellers of motorcycle helmets, motorcycle jackets, and biker gear. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

TheHelmetZone.com had over 25,000 active customers who will now transfer to MotorcycleCenter.com, where they will have access to a much wider range of products, competitive pricing, and an overall more satisfying shopping experience. They will also have access to gear they were unable to purchase from TheHelmetZone.com like motorcycle exhausts, motorcycle tires, parts, and mens motorcycle jackets.

The staff that ran TheHelmetZone.com did an outstanding job and provided exceptional customer service, getting them one of the best customer service ratings and overall shopping experience rankings we’ve seen from a website in a while. It’s very impressive considering TheHelmetZone.com was able to achieve all this in less than 2 years. Their ability to acquire customers and maintain loyalty is inspiring, and we are sorry to see such a great competitor go.

Unfortunately, with the high cost of running an internet business and the ever increasing and changing technological demands, the burden and time needed to run the site was too much for the owners. The costs of marketing were going up while their sales either remained the same or dropped.

All traffic from TheHelmetZone.com is now being directed to MotorcycleCenter.com. The online landscape has been changing; these days it’s very hard to grow a business without a robust ecommerce solution and other new technologies needed to run a website effectively. MotorcycleCenter.com and other leading online motorcycle firms like LeatherUp.com and Motorcycle-Superstore.com invest very heavily in technology, expanding workforces, and marketing. It is tough for smaller firms to compete with these standards, making the acquisition by MotorcycleCenter.com the best logical step.

We are very excited to welcome all new customers to MotorcycleCenter.com where they can enjoy shopping brands like Cobra Exhausts, Tourmaster jackets, Gaerne boots, and Scorpion helmets, among many others they previously had no access to. This marks the second website that MotorcycleCenter.com has acquired in the last few months, bringing our customer base to well over 50,000 customers in a very short period of time. We are also currently in negotiations to acquire two other well-known motorcycle sites, each have over 40,000 customers and one has been in the business for over 10 years.

The other biker websites we are being offered try to keep up with the major online sites but do more harm than good, and find themselves in debt with ever expanding marketing budgets with lower and lower conversion rates. All is not well online; it’s definitely become far more challenging than ever to run an effective online shop, given rising costs. It’s challenging to even make a sale with so much competition from dominate sites like Amazon (launched a popular motorcycle category in 2008), LeatherUp.com, and Motorcycle Superstore, who are established and have strong customer loyalty, larger capital base, better website technology, and lower product cost due to being able to buy more product at discounted rates and passing the savings.

Another important factor is the cost of marketing. TheHelmetZone.com just over spent, simple as that. There need to be #2 or #3, or #4 on keywords over took what was prudent and what the site was actually capable of sustaining. We have seen that several firms who have contacted us were overspending on online advertisement. It’s almost like being at a casino waiting for an order. Now, we are picking up their customers at a fraction of the cost the firms spent on acquiring them. It’s insane when we see firms spend $20-30 to pick up one customer who spends $100. Then have to deal with the customer service, returns and exchanges. The motorcycle gear business has a high return rate for many segments; returned products which firms might or might not be able to sell can cause major financial hardship. It’s a recipe for failure we are seeing play out as the Internet matures and older and younger firms who were not on solid financial ground and did not kept their marketing expense inline are falling apart.

Given the state of the economy, the heavy investment needed to keep up with major players online is leading to the downfall of several key motorcycle sites. The competition online for motorcycle gear gets more and more furious daily; firms that can’t keep up end up going out of business. In a way this is a great windfall for us, helping boost MotorcycleCenter.com to the next level in a shorter period of time. We are hoping to capitalize on this trend and hopefully take over a few more sites that have spent years building a brand and customer base for pennies on the dollar.

About MotorcycleCenter.com:

Leave a comment

San Diego, CA – December 11, 2010 – RestaurantFunds.com, a division of CapForge Software, reported reaching its ten thousandth customer this past week.

The Restaurant Success Kit package as it is called includes tools for creating a business plan, five year financial projections and a slide-show presentation as well as a two hundred plus page ebook on how to run a profitable restaurant and many other related guides and information resources. The software is sold exclusively online through the website as a download.

“We are proud of this accomplishment and proud of our product,” said CapForge CEO Matt Remuzzi, co-creator of the product and long time business consultant. “We spent a lot of time working on this package so that not only would it be super easy to use but it would also deliver a solid plan and very realistic numbers that are going to be in line with industry expectations.”

Remuzzi also stated that they offer unlimited support with the product and the support is provided by business consultants familiar with the industry and getting businesses capitalized not just low level customer service or tech support workers.

Zaca Organic Recovery Patch Offers a Safe, Simple and Natural Remedy for Partying

Leave a comment

Zaca Inc. is excited to announce its all-natural Recovery Topical Patch. The product, which contains nearly a dozen ingredients, provides a simple, safe way for people to have feel-great mornings after holiday parties and other social events.

Denver, CO, December 12, 2010 — Zaca Inc. is pleased to officially introduce its Recovery Topical Patch as a simple, natural way to help you wake up refreshed. The product is now being distributed worldwide online and throughout Colorado, making it more easily accessible for the upcoming holiday season.

Zaca’s recovery patch is completely free of chemicals and other potentially-harmful substances. It contains 11 different organic ingredients that harmonize with your body to help you feel better long after you’re done with the party. The ingredients are prickly pear, milk thistle, thiamine (B1), lipoic acid, B5, B3, taurine, lycopene, N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC), magnesium and vitamin C. Zaca’s ingredients address all the possibilities-making it much more effective than other similar products.

The Recovery Patch is one of the first organic products of its kind, according to its co-founder Mark Aleks. The innovative patch is a small, gauze-textured “sticker” that is very lightweight and easy to apply. Users can place the patch on their shoulder, arm or a concealed place on their body, making it convenient to wear. “With most products, you have to pop pills, take tablets or use a drink that is usually loaded with calories and/or sugar,” Aleks explained. “Our product stands out because it’s the simplest solution out there. You just put it on before you go out and keep it on for 24 hours.”

Aleks points out that the Recovery Patch is not being touted as a treatment or cure for any disease. However, the ingredients are an effective solution for feel-great mornings, clear-headedness and bright eyes. “The ingredients in Zaca’s organic patch contain some essential vitamins, minerals and herbs, which help protect your body and allow you to feel better faster,” he adds.

The Recovery Patch is a high-quality, all-natural product that gives individuals a more stylish alternative to regimented supplements or potions. The product caters to a vast market of people and addresses a significant problem for employers. An estimated 100 million people party at least once a week. And an estimated $148 billion a year in revenue is lost from reduced productivity and absenteeism due to people not feeling good from partying, according to the Annals of Internal Medicine.

With the holidays fast approaching, the expanded distribution of the Recovery Patch is very timely and valuable news for would-be partygoers. Prices for the product start at $19.95. For more information, please contact James Aleks at 413-244-2675 or visit www.zacalife.com.

About Zaca Inc.:
Zaca Inc. was co-founded by Mark and James Aleks in 2008. The brothers-who enjoy socializing responsibly-wanted a natural, mainstream way to help people that are active and like to party, yet have professional lives to maintain. So they developed a chic organic recovery patch that would help people “be nice to their body.” Their Recovery Patch gives users a classier option to traditional solutions. In the future, the company has plans to develop more products for social and professional people who want to maintain a healthy lifestyle without the slumps. Currently, Zaca is working on opening distribution channels across the United States as well as in other countries. A privately-held company, Zaca is based in Denver, Colo.
