LOFTwall Founder and Design Leader, Steve Kinder returned from NeoCon, the world’s largest commercial office furniture design tradeshow, where he catalyzed a dynamic conversation about the future of workspace design.

The LOFTwall exhibit space was transformed into a living idea wall, where visitors contributed their point of view via Post-It Notes™ as to where and how they work best and how their space needs change over time.

“Work is no longer confined to one space, as technology has brought mobility and dared us to work different. Some say it’s the death of the cubicle. LOFTwall sees it as the evolution of the office space, with opportunities for design innovations that offer both privacy and connectivity, along with flexibility,” said Steve Kinder, LOFTwall Designer Founder

Observing that flexibility, privacy and movement were key NeoCon buzzwords – that no matter where or how people work, they want to be in control of their environment and they require their workspace to evolve with their needs over time. Leading a more entrepreneurial, nimble company, Kinder is poised to move forward with new design innovations that address a quickly changing need that larger manufacturers are challenged to meet.

The iconic LOFTwall WAVE wall image was the backdrop for NeoCon’s 2013 marketing campaign and theme, “Ideas Revealed”, which provided LOFTwall and Kinder an opportunity to spark a discussion about the changing workscape. Lindsey Martin, Director of Marketing for NeoCon shared that the idea behind this theme “was to show that NeoCon not only debuts the newest and most innovative products on the market each year, but sparks ideas for future products as well. The LOFTwall image helped us convey this concept because it really made you think.”

LOFTwall greeted hundreds of guests at their booth space, who shared their #workdifferent perspectives on the idea wall. When asked how they work best, notable responses included “Anywhere! Creativity has no walls,” “I work best when I’m not assigned to one space”, “In a LEED building with lots of daylight and non-toxic building materials.” and “Immersed with my team.”

Through blogging, social media and other media opportunities, Kinder and LOFTwall will continue the conversation about the changing workscape, using the #workdifferent hash tag.

Also, check out the full LOFTwall NeoCon photo album of #workdifferent ideas on Facebook and watch their latest video.

Janet Schultz of Blue-J Eco-Friendly Small Office Cleaning is an up-and-coming woman business owner making waves in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. Janet has a long history of entrepreneurialism; however, Blue-J’s inception began in November, 2012 when Janet saw a need in her local community for an environmentally friendly, small office cleaning firm. Although there are cleaning companies in the Greater Charlotte, North Carolina market that list office cleaning in their plethora of services, it is Janet’s firm belief that if something is to be done right, it must be specialized. Born out of this belief, Janet created Blue-J Eco-Friendly Small Office Cleaning, a company catering to small office centers/buildings/offices in an effort to bring a specialized service that is as consistent as it is precise- a boutique service. Blue-J Eco-Friendly Small Office Cleaning can provide and specializes in weekly, bi-weekly or monthly maintenance office cleanings. Additionally, Blue-J offers detailed rental property cleanings, construction site cleanings (both new construction and remodels) and one-time residential (detailed) cleanings.

Not only does Janet pride herself on her unique business model built on her company’s specialized service, but Blue-J has also set itself apart from the competition through the exclusive use of environmentally-friendly cleaning products. Blue-J Eco-Friendly Small Office Cleaning has partnered with a local Cabarrus County, North Carolina company specializing in the manufacturing of environmentally-friendly, biodegradable cleaning goods. This manufacturing company designs a product aimed to reduce the environmental impact so often resulting from the chemical composition of cleaning products. Janet Schultz and her team are proud to be joining in a worldwide effort to preserve natural resources and to encourage other local businesses to join in this cause.

Blue-J Eco-Friendly Small Office Cleaning is also proudly located in Historic Downtown Concord, North Carolina. At 51 Union Street South (Suite 209), Blue-J is right in the middle of many thriving local businesses and has exposure to all of the exciting events the community has to offer. Given this prime location, Janet and her marketing team at Blue-J Eco-Friendly Small Office Cleaning take full advantage of every networking opportunity and are affiliated with the local Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Concord Business Group, among others. Janet Schultz loves her community and is always looking for ways that her business can give back to Concord, North Carolina.

Janet Schultz is also a proud supporter of the Autism Research Institute, a non-profit organization supporting the fight to raise awareness for Autism Spectrum Disorders. Although Janet is extremely passionate about her business and prides herself on being an empowered woman entrepreneur, the true driving force behind her recent successes lie in her devotion to the aforementioned cause and her hope to one day, be a significant philanthropic contributor to the Autism Research Institute. Janet knows that given the recent growth of Blue-J Eco-Friendly Small Office Cleaning, her business will be the vehicle to see her dream to fruition.

West Haven, UT, July 22, 2013 –(PR.com)– Silver Retreats just received another award for outstanding customer service and value!

Silver Retreats will handle all details to guarantee that each daily event exceeds all expectations. Silver will plan activities and provide amenities that can be incorporated into either an executive/luxury retreat, corporate team building event, or a private vacation. Whether looking to stay in a private home with an executive chef or in a stay in a hotel and dine at some of the most exquisite restaurants, Silver is able to accompany all sizes of groups, both in the winter and summer months through-out the world.

Imagine a perfect corporate retreat for executive teams full of luxury, fine dining, extreme adventure and exclusive privileges in the world-class destination. Simply contact Silver Retreats with the number of people attending, the purpose of the retreat, and the dates. They will take it from there, leaving assurance that groups will receive nothing other than the utmost quality and an overall incredible experience. No more boring retreats here.

Silver Retreats was created by Bill Schuffenhauer, 3x USA Olympian and 2002 Olympic Silver Medalist in Bobsleigh. An entrepreneur at heart Bill wanted to give travelers more than what was out there. Following this Olympians victory, Bill’s professional career evolved to include participation in many national and international special events comprised of fundraisers, charity events, keynote speaking opportunities, entertainment and product promotions. Along with Bill’s long and successful devotion to sports and making a positive impact with local and national youth groups. Bill has traveled the world as a motivational speaker and has worked with companies and organizations such as Budweiser, Special Olympics, United Way, Adecco, Glaxo Smith Klein and Proctor Gamble.

Being the CEO/President, Bill was tired of the old-fashioned employee retreats that were frequent through-out his careers. The retreat that is secretly dreaded because it entails sitting around a table for two days while employees listen to a supposed expert talk about how to maximize supply chain or how to boost morale and create a winning team. This is the primary driver of why Silver was created. Silver will change how employees view retreats and will come out engaged and ready to perform.

Bill, appointed Jyl London as Chief Operating Officer of Silver Retreats a few months ago. Jyl’s experience directing Fortune 500 companies, Key Account Director in several high grossing companies, motivating teams internationally and the vast knowledge of event planning. Together Bill and Jyl have perfected an incredible retreat, that is like no other. The combined experience of these two, lifelong passions for helping others and treating everyone like VIP will guarantee an outstanding experience that is far from the typical retreat or family vacation. It is no wonder why it is receiving award after award for its outstanding service and value since the team paired up.

Denver, CO, July 17, 2013 –(PR.com)– Lightning Labels, custom label and sticker printing leader, is encouraging manufacturers to boost their marketing tactics this summer with custom candle labels (http://www.lightninglabels.com/custom-candle-labels?src=PRSubmissionSIMcid=PRSubmissionSIM-backlink), which will make products dazzle at farmers markets and elsewhere this season.

Summer is officially here, and that means it’s prime time for festivals, art shows and farmers markets in particular, as warm weather brings high demand for produce and handmade goods. As consumers across the country fill their summer schedules with visits to these shopping events to seek out new products, candle manufacturers can get ahead of the competition by embellishing their items with custom labels.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, farmers markets have been growing in numbers across the country for the past two decades. In 2012, the agency listed 7,864 farmers markets in its directory, up nearly 10 percent from the number registered the year before. These events present a great opportunity for candlemakers, as they help businesses introduce themselves to new consumers, test products, bond with loyal followers and establish themselves within the community.

“Candle manufacturers planning to showcase products at farmers markets this summer have a busy season ahead of them,” said AnneMarie Campbell, Business Development Manager at Lightning Labels. “Businesses that want to attract passersby at these markets will have to ensure their product packaging is appealing and unique. Lightning Labels can help candlemakers give their products the look they deserve with high-quality, durable custom candle labels.”

Professional Candle Labels Are a Smart Way to Boost Brand Marketing:

With such a busy season ahead, businesses shouldn’t delay ordering professional candle labels that flaunt their products’ qualities at farmers markets. Here are two reasons why custom labels for candles are a smart way to jump-start branding efforts:

1. Quality Labels for Candles Can Withstand the Heat: Candlemakers are well aware that containers and labels for their products need to be flame-resistant, above all else. Lightning Labels‘ labels for candles are created to withstand heat and maintain an untarnished appearance. They aren’t just safe – they’re attractive too.

2. High-Quality Digital Printing Can Make Candle Labels Dazzle: While farmers markets are a great way to interact with target audiences, businesses often have dozens of stands to compete with for shoppers’ attention. Lightning Labels‘ digital printing techniques create full-color, highly detailed labels that embody the manufacturer’s brand and command attention.

To celebrate Independence Day, Lightning Labels is offering offering 15 percent off new orders placed online through July 8, 2013, using promo code JULY4 at checkout. The maximum discount is $1,000. Free ground shipping applies to regularly priced orders shipped only within the United States and Canada. This offer cannot be combined with any other offers or promotion.

Miami, FL, July 03, 2013 –(PR.com)– Bryan M., Texas resident and inventor, recently contracted invention assistance leader NewProductHelp.com to create an informative online presentation for his Clip Key invention. A simple yet useful new product targeted at the key industry, the Clip Key features a unique design that serves to make key blanks more efficient.

The Clip Key will be easy to implement and utilize and will sport an ergonomic design that will add to its appeal. It will also play an instrumental role in the preserving and tracking of keys. The inventor of the Clip Key is hopeful of the product finding success through outlets and catalogs selling key accessories.

This original idea is now being made available for licensing to manufacturers interested in new product development, especially in the key accessories industry. Bryan M. is hoping to have the Clip Key in full production and available to the public within the very near future.

After including the inventor and preliminary, non-confidential information about his product idea at no charge for a 1 year term in their proprietary database of invention information, the National Directory of American Inventors, NewProductHelp.com’s professional staff of writers and graphic illustrators then created an Online Product Presentation for his idea, helping to clarify how the invention works and looks. A General Field-of-Art search through the database of the United States Patent and Trademark Office was also completed by an independent, registered patent attorney in order to provide the inventor with perspective on some prior art within the general category of his idea.

Having had an opportunity to review and approve the Online Product Presentation, Bryan M. now is weighing the decision of whether to accept NewProductHelp.com’s New Product Publicity and Marketing Program proposal. Under the proposal, NewProductHelp.com would represent Bryan M.’s Clip Key for 2 years through a collection of dynamic promotional materials such as press releases, product brochures, digital renditions, a password-protected website, and other visual mediums such as a New Product DVD and potentially, an interactive virtual reality presentation.

NewProductHelp.com representatives would also actively follow up with any manufacturers and marketers that display an interest in potentially licensing the Clip Key.
