  • Lucky Exhibits is Saving Exhibitors Time and Money with Their Show Services

    Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes Awards $10,000 Grant to Expand Veteran Job Opportunities Through IVET Las Vegas, NV, August 08, 2013 –(PR.com)– In the past ten years, Lucky Exhibits has been saving exhibitors lots of money on high quality used booths, and exhibits. Their options have been proven such a success with clients, that they have now recently expanded and opened up a show services department, which is far superior to the competition. The head of their show services department has been doing this now for ten years, and is able to expedite the processing of show forms in a very timely manner, while making sure that everything is filled out correctly, and exactly.

    The fact that they are located in Las Vegas, near the convention centers, gives them a huge advantage over the competition. In addition, their head of show services personally know many of the people that run the tradeshows, the service desks, and are able to make sure that things happen on time, and don’t slip under the cracks. This is a very important issue, because if show service forms such as electrical, drayage, carpet forms, accessory forms, or booth layout forms are not properly filled out, then that can cause huge delays in having their booth set up, or cause penalties, or late fees. Often times other companies don’t have their booth set up on time, or even at all, simply because their forms were not sent in correctly, or on time.

    In order to find out how Lucky Exhibits can save you money, time, or hassle with those show services forms, please contact them at: (800)707-6995, visit their website at: www.luckyexhibits.com, or send them an email to: [email protected] and remember to put show service forms in the subject line.

  • Design Entrepreneur Steve Kinder of LOFTwall Shares His NeoCon 2013 Experience: Emerging Ideas & Workspace Concepts Revealed

    LoftWall-67cropLRLOFTwall 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 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 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.

  • Silver Retreats is a Full Service, Exclusive Corporate Retreats, Luxury Accommodation, Team Building and Motivational Speaking Company

    Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes Awards $5,400 Grant to Hire, Train First Employee at Dog Tag Bakery 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.

  • Increase Sales at Farmers Markets and Fairs This Summer with Custom Candle Labels

    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.
