Step Out in Style with this Season’s Sandal Trends from Shoebuy.com










Boston, Ma (PRWEB) July 22, 2008

With summer upon us, sandals are the choice for footwear. From the beach to a formal affair, sandals are everywhere. This season, there are a plethora of fabulous styles to choose from at Shoebuy.com.

High on the list of trends this year is ornamented sandals. Sandals with ornamentation come in an array of styles from flats to t-strapped heels. Rhinestones, turquoise or other semi-precious stones sparkle and shine in the summer sun. Paired with any casual outfit, jeweled sandals can easily make anyone party-ready. Add some bling to feet with brands such as Vaneli and Nomad.

Ancient Rome is known for its art, and this summer its footwear, too. For women, gladiator sandals are another one of the “it” trends for this season. Gladiator sandals are defined by straps, which wrap around the ankle and usually have a flat heel. They come in a range of materials and colors from leather to metallic, and complement any outfit.

Wearing comfort sandals no longer means sacrificing style. These days comfort can be achieved with a large variety of fashionable sandals in styles such as espadrilles. Rockport and Born are two of the many brands that integrate fashion and functionality for sandals. For a backyard barbecue or a summer resort, Shoebuy.com has lots of great choices for styles, colors, sizes, heel heights and widths.

Shopping for sandals is often a challenge. So why keep driving from store to store when Shoebuy’s sandal shop makes it easy? There are many categories, such as flip flops, flat sandals, and dress sandals, so even the sandal-resistant can find something that suits his or her taste.

Kids are also looking for some fashion on their feet. Why not try out Primigi or Skechers, which feature some great sandals any kid would love to wear. With its large selection, shopping at Shoebuy.com makes life easier for parents on the go. Whatever the sandal need is this season, Shoebuy.com has it covered.

SLAPPA Turns 5 and Despite Companies’ Success, Founder Finds Much Disappointment and Creates ‘Wish-List’ for Their Future

Posted on May 17, 2012 by

SLAPPA Turns 5 and Despite Companies’ Success, Founder Finds Much Disappointment and Creates ‘Wish-List’ for Their Future










Charlotte N.C. (PRWEB) July 28, 2008

You would expect as the owner of a small business that just turned 5-years old, Dominick Martinetti would be thrilled about reaching such a milestone, but instead, he says while letting out a big sigh, “We’ve reached a milestone that 50% of start-up companies never hit, but I’ll admit that I’m not all that excited. I look at what we have not yet achieved and it’s very frustrating”.

After listening to Martinetti, you would never know that his company has grown sales by 750% in the past 4 years, or that it has serviced more than 22,000 customers on its’ website, or has established itself as a threat to larger companies such as Case Logic. So where does his disappointment stem from? Martinetti continues, “Even in this down market, there are many opportunities that come to our door and there are a great many low hanging fruits, but as a small company there is only so much we can take on because of limited resources and this, for me, is extremely frustrating. There are times I feel it would be best to merge with a larger company because it would give us the ability to capitalize on what we have built to date and give us the ability to scale this business even more quickly.”

Yet even with his list of frustrations, Martinetti recognizes that what his small, energetic team have accomplished in their first 5 years is no small feat. “When people learn that we are a team of 10 people they are shocked. We realize that what we have done is special, but to take SLAPPA to the top we cannot look at the past, we have to look at the future.”

Of course he and his team have stated goals for their next five years, but they have also put together an eclectic “wish list” that they plan to focus on over the next five years. Reading this list makes one wonder if these guys are serious–but once you meet them you realize they are dead serious. This wish list includes statements such as “We wish U.S. retailers were not so greedy”, “We wish we could manufacture our gear in the U.S.”, and “We wish the copy-cat hacks would go out of business”. Included with his wish list are the strategies the company plans to implement to make their wishes come true, but these strategies are something they will not divulge.

In this time of celebration the company is not losing site of one of the assets they declare is “our absolute number one priority”; their customers. As such the company is running the most aggressive sales promotion they have ever rolled out. The “5 Ways To Save” promotion offers gift certificates to those who simply “shout-out” to the company. SLAPPA is offering a $ 5.00 gift card to anyone who stops at their MySpace.com/SLAPPA page, offering a $ 10 coupon to anyone who posts pictures of themselves with their SLAPPA gear on Flickr.com, and offering a $ 20 coupon to anyone who posts a video of themselves with the SLAPPA gear on youtube.com. Additionally the company is giving away $ 250 to the 2 people who develop the most creative “shout out” to SLAPPA. Martinetti adds, “Whether they spray paint our logo on the streets of New York, shave our logo into their head or create a funny video, all contestants need to do is come up with a wildly creative SLAPPA shout out”. For more details on this “5 Ways To Save” anniversary promotion visit http://www.slappa.com.

SLAPPA’s line of cd cases, dvd cases, laptop bags and backpacks are made with the highest quality materials, unique designs and patented technologies that when combined together, “break the mold” in a category otherwise flooded with mundane products. For more information please contact SLAPPA.

Google Trends Allows Internet Marketers to Play “Keywords Stock Market”

Posted on May 15, 2012 by

Google Trends Allows Internet Marketers to Play “Keywords Stock Market”











Google Trends’ Information For “Scentsy”


New York, NY (PRWEB) September 23, 2008

Marketing firms are hiring super-techies to leverage the well-funded, but very technical, Google information database and its data tools to gather information on consumer trends and potential free marketing windfalls via free Google traffic.

Marketing organizations are always trying to find the next edge in their industry. This is true of any major brand and this practice is definitely an art to expert marketing professionals that are guns-for-hire.

What’s a typical example? Let’s use the website Scentsy. Scentsy® candles is a company that was recently ‘targeted’ for ‘SEO dominance’ by one of the people we interviewed. Scentsy® is a US-based, emerging manufacturer of scented candle products but it might as well be a widget factory and another-day-at-the-home-office for the Internet marketers.

“Scentsy has tremendous upside potential while extremely low competition, both from a market-share perspective as well as organic SEO,” said Garry Egan, an Internet Marketer who works from his satellite uplink and laptop computer. Egan is currently backpacking Europe and phoned in this interview. “I can work from anywhere,” he said.

Well, We were impressed.

“Here is the basics of how the data analysis works,” said Egan.

“A search-engine keyword is analyzed using a large database of keywords. These database services house some 30 Billion keyword phrases and are provided by companies such as Nichebot. This data is then correlated with Google Trends and upswings are searched. If there is a rise in activity correlated with low competition, then the keyword’s search engine results pages (SERP) are wide-open for both high-ranking and high-traffic. Once a solvent ROI model can be established, then the campaign is launched. It takes only a few hours to generate targeted traffic and test the model. Google Trends is a helpful service for this as well as Google Insights, a recently launched Google trending service.”

“Turn $ 1 into $ 1.10 with high traffic. Game over. Get more credit cards,” said Search Commander Scott Hendison who owns an internet consulting and conversion marketing firm in the Northwest.

“Once a vulnerability is detected and there is high-traffic with low competition and a lucrative upside potential, we generate targeted pay-per-click campaigns to gain immediate traffic while simultaneously developing original, helpful websites that are silos of information for that genre or keyword phrase,” said Egan. “If you really want to get ‘crazy-with-the-cheese-whiz’ you target those PPC campaigns according to daily national news stories where PPC costs are ultra-low and traffic is ultra-high, but only for a day.”

“The organic SEO campaign is designed to wean the client from the PPC budget,” said Darren Waters, an SEO from Seattle, Washington, whom we contacted through Craigslist for this interview. Waters was contracted by Dish Network’s #1 authorized reseller to gain market share in the satellite television industry.

“Google’s prediction algorithm is found in Google Sets and this supplements an organic search engine placement campaign. You can actually get inside the head of Google.”

Carry a DSLR and a Laptop in Think Tank Photo’s Urban Disguise? 35 Shoulder Bag

Posted on May 12, 2012 by

Carry a DSLR and a Laptop in Think Tank Photo’s Urban Disguise™ 35 Shoulder Bag











Urban Disguise 35


Santa Rosa, CA (PRWEB) October 6, 2008

Think Tank Photo’s new Urban Disguise™ 35 shoulder bag is the perfect size for photographers on the go: it holds up to a 13.3″ laptop with a standard-size DSLR or up to a 10″ laptop with a Pro-size DSLR with lens attached. It features a large opening for easy access to equipment, attaches to a roller, and can be used as a backpack with the Shoulder Harness (sold separately).

Its features include:


Holds multiple lenses and accessories
Center Divider separates laptop from camera gear
Can be carried like a backpack with optional Shoulder Harness
Front Pocket holds an additional Pro-size DSLR body
Can carry DSLR with 70-200 2.8 lens attached

Like all of the Urban Disguise models, this new shoulder bag is designed to allow photographers to travel in style while protecting their valuable equipment from prying eyes. They are intentionally designed not to look like camera bags, thus allowing photographers to carry even their larger lenses and laptops into potentially perilous settings. They are specifically designed for Digital SLRs and for holding the bag close to the photographer’s body.

“This design concept is the culmination of years of observation of photojournalists and other photographers who have jury-rigged their bags to decrease their public exposure,” said Think Tank Photo founder and lead designer Doug Murdoch. “Whether you are a professional who wishes to maintain a lower profile in potentially dangerous situations or a serious amateur who wishes to lessen the risk of having your gear ripped off, the Urban Disguise’s low profile design allows you to carry the right gear with less fear.”

Urban Disguise Sales to Support Reporters Without Borders

Think Tank Photo is dedicating a percentage of U.S. sales of Urban Disguise shoulder bags to Reporters Without Borders USA. Reporters Without Borders has fought for press freedom on a daily basis since it was founded in 1985.

Lucie Morillon of Reporters Without Borders USA said, “Think Tank Photo is using this campaign to show its support of press freedom and concern about the dangers facing journalists by dedicating a portion of the proceeds from the bags sales to the international press freedom organization. By buying Urban Disguise bags reporters will not only treat themselves to some great camera bags, but also show their solidarity with colleagues around the globe who risk their lives daily to get at the truth. Funds raised on behalf of Reporters Without Borders will help the organization pursue its activities in support of journalists, and improve their safety.”

Donations to Reporters Without Borders can be made at http://www.rsf.org.

About Think Tank Photo:

Headquartered in Santa Rosa, California, Think Tank Photo (http://www.thinktankphoto.com) is a group of designers and professional photographers focused on studying how photographers work and developing inventive new carrying solutions that meet their needs. They are dedicated to using only the highest quality materials and design principles, and employing materials that are environmentally benign.

Building on Barnes & Noble’s nearly 40 years of bookselling and publishing expertise, the company quickly became a leader in the digital arena following the introduction of its award-winning, bestselling NOOK devices, popular free software and expansive digital bookstore last year.

“With NOOKcolor, we’ve combined the functionality and convenience of a 7-inch portable wireless tablet with the reader-centricity of a dedicated eReader, and employed a breakthrough color screen technology that will wow customers,” said William Lynch, Chief Executive Officer of Barnes & Noble. Added Lynch, “NOOKcolor enables Web browsing over Wi-Fi, music, games and much more, but reading anything and everything in brilliant color is the killer app and squarely the product’s focus. At $ 249, NOOKcolor offers a tremendous value, particularly in comparison to the many other 7-inch tablets coming to market at twice the cost and often requiring expensive data plans. Most importantly, NOOKcolor is designed for and differentiated by what Barnes & Noble knows best: reading.”

Sparks Fly in San Francisco

Sparks Fly in San Francisco











Haptica Movable Braille timepiece


New York, NY (PRWEB) October 7, 2008

A new exhibition opens this week in San Francisco that profiles the work of today’s finest design talent.

The Spark 2008 Design Awards put more than 600 entries under the microscope last month, with the best being selected by a jury of prestigious names in global design. The winners are now on display at America’s most exciting new design hot spot – the dazzling Autodesk Design Gallery, at One Market Street, San Francisco.

“All the Spark entrants and entries tell wonderful stories,” explains Peter Kuchnicki, executive director of Spark. “There were a great number of designs in the competition and it was very competitive. The 14 jurists had a daunting task and did a fine job.”

Spark is a fresh, modern qualification system that recognizes new processes and technology and seeks to involve people and ideas from untapped sources. Designers from all levels and skill-sets are invited to participate, be they professional, novice or student. This year’s competition attracted designers, art directors, architects, design firms, manufacturers, institutions and ad agencies.

84 designs won bronze, silver, gold or the ultimate Spark! Award. These top 17 winners secured a Spark! commendation:

Haptica Braille Watch

Designer: David Chavez

“Haptica is a moveable Braille timepiece that provides a quick and accurate time reading. The product is unique in providing a real-time readout in Braille which the reader scans along with their finger to check the time”

Grow Bike

Designer: Springtime

“Children need a lot of different vehicles in their first 4 years, creating a lot of cost and occupying a lot of space. The GrowBike is actually a set of parts that can be assembled into 4 different bike designs, step by step as your child grows.”

Treepac

Designer: Essential Design

“Ever wonder how many cardboard boxes the world really needs? Treepac is a reusable shipping container intended to replace them for most business-to-business, business-to-customer and person-to-person shipping. The pack is meant to be used like a cardboard box but can serve again and again.”

Rainwater Hog

Designer: Sally Dominguez

“Harvesting rainwater is a smart idea but designs have been basic until now. Rainwater HOG is a rain rescue and storage tank designed as a water-filled building block. It was designed by an Australian architect battling with drought who saw a lack of options for domestic-scale urban rainwater catchment.”

NYC Condom

Designer: Yves Behar, Fuseproject

“Vaguely reminiscent of a condom shape warped into the surface of one’s leather wallet, the NYC Condom Dispenser needed to be distinctive anywhere from trendy restaurants to homeless shelters. It has the equivalent impact of that of the fire-hydrant: immediately recognizable for its simple function, in this case to distribute condoms.”

Livraria da Vila

Designer: Isay Weinfeld

“A beautiful bookstore in São Paulo. Whichever direction one looks at, there are books, and an unpretentious feel, like a used-book store, making customers at ease to browse the shelves for the books they want, to leaf through or even read them in the couches and easy chairs scattered around the multiple stories.”

Karbon Faucet

Designer: Kohler

“The ultimate tap. Karbon has two water flow options; laminar, chosen for its continuous tube-like water flow, and a spray for cleaning and prep work, controlled by a valve hidden in the countertop and operated by the touch of a joystick with a smooth, elegant motion. It’s dynamic, functional, sculpture.”

Eton Field Radio

Designer: Dan Harden, Whipsaw

“Two consumer field radios for use outdoors and in the home. With hand-cranks and solar panels, they are designed to always work, suiting outdoor types and survivalists. There’s a two-way walkie talkie, cell phone charger, flashlight, siren, and SOS light beacon.”

Dyson Airblade

Designer: James Dyson

“Whilst developing air knives for a different project, Dyson found that the force of air created by its Dyson Digital Motor (DDM) would scrape water from hands, leaving them completely dry. The company has gone on to build the fastest, most hygienic hand dryer on the market.”

Swarovski Morpheus

Designer: Yves Behar, Fuseproject

“Swarovski challenged Behar’s team to ‘reinvent’ the chandelier for its ‘Crystal Palace’ collection at Art Basel Miami. The design deconstructs what a chandelier is, and explores what it could be. Rather than just a static, traditional object to be viewed, Morpheus is a chandelier that changes its form, becoming animated, through interaction with the viewer.”

Neat Receipts & NeatDesk

Designer: Smart Design

“Mobile and desktop scanners that are part of a series of products designed to help you get rid of receipts and paperwork. Best of all, the products feature hardware and software designs that have been stripped of visual noise to simplify the product and process.”

Vite – Rescue Stretcher

Designers: Kim, Lin & Zea

“A collapsible stretcher designed to rescue the injured patient as fast as possible in the snow. The backpack shell works as a sled, allowing a patient to be carried by one person. Other products on the market are designed to be used by two people. The Vite can be be easily opened in order to minimize the time spent setting up the sled for an injured patient.”

OLPC Yoyo

Designer: Yves Behar, Fuseproject

“An ingenious laptop charger designed to charge the pioneering One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), without the need for mains electricity. Designed like a yoyo toy, the strap is looped through the unit allowing for easy connection to a chair leg, tree branch, etc and resistant against the mechanical force exerted by the user.”

OLPC XOXO

Designer: Yves Behar, Fuseproject

“The XO-2 laptop will be about half the size of the first generation One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), being about the size of a book. The new design is lighter and easier for children to carry with them to and from school or wherever they go. Dual-touch sensitive displays will be used to enhance the e-book experience, with a dual-mode display similar to the current XO laptop.”

Moen Cascata

Designer: Essential Design

“A bathroom faucet that “pours” by tipping the spout like one would tip a pitcher of water. It’s an attempt to recover some of the natural flowing behavior of water and reconnect people with the aesthetic qualities and personal meaning associated with water and cleansing.”

Mobile Performance Venue

Designer: Various architects

“A lightweight and easily transportable venue that is also a unique and iconic structure. When it becomes the Arts Alliance Productions’ home in 2009, it will be the largest mobile venue in the world. A 90m x 60m oval, it ranges from 10m to 17m tall, and has 3900m2 of covered space. The central performance space (2000m2) will hold a standing audience of 3500 people.”

Fuego Modular

Designer: Robert Brunner, Ammunition Group

“A bold, new and customizable outdoor kitchen that expands on Fuego’s trendsetting social hub concept. Fuego Modular has an aluminum frame to accommodate grills, burners, warming drawers, storage, and refrigeration units.”

Injury-Free Tennis No Longer a Dream: “Tennis Fitness for the Love of it” Book Offers Solutions to Prevention of Overuse Injuries

Posted on May 6, 2012 by

Injury-Free Tennis No Longer a Dream: “Tennis Fitness for the Love of it” Book Offers Solutions to Prevention of Overuse Injuries










Venice, CA (PRWEB) October 28, 2010

Playing tennis daily without overuse injuries has long been the dream of all tennis players.

Tennis Fitness for the Love of it: A Mindful Approach to Fitness for Injury-Free Tennis is a new book incorporating mindful fitness methods to make this dream come true.

The mission of the United States Professional Tennis Association’s advisory council slogan “Tennis – for the health of it!” is to make sure that playing tennis is health enhancing, safe and fun. The reality for tennis players, young or old, is that the one-sided nature of the sport creates imbalances in the body that over time cause overuse injuries.

“The overuse injuries can be easily prevented,” says Suzanna McGee, author of the book Tennis Fitness for the Love of it: A Mindful Approach to Fitness for Injury-free Tennis. Asserts McGee, “The players need to learn how to listen to their bodies and understand what the body is telling them. Then it is easy to correct the imbalances before the injuries happen.”

Venice, California-based Suzanna McGee is a former Ms. Natural Olympia (drug-free bodybuilding champion), holder of numerous European skiing titles and she is currently a competitive tennis player and fitness coach. In addition to possessing two master degrees in computer science, she has been studying performance of the human body and mind for more than twenty years. Suzanna’s training style has helped hundreds of athletes with no age limitations to perform at high levels without chronic pains and injuries. A Czech native, McGee moved to the United States in 1996, from her former home in Sweden, fluent in five languages not including English. As her athletic mastery evolved, so did her command of her new country’s primary language.

“You need to develop an awareness of your body,” says McGee, who further explains: “This awareness will enable you to improve. However, as with any form of mastery, mind and body awareness requires regular practice.”

At the age of 38, McGee picked up the tennis racket and her remarkable fitness allowed her to reach high levels quickly, and today, this 45-year-old true athlete plays tennis daily without aches and pains. She says, “Everybody can do this. It’s simple. You need to listen to your body, and then strengthen your weaknesses and balance your strengths. Consciously search for the imbalances and correct them before they cause you serious problems. Practice mindful fitness and you will play injury-free tennis for the rest of your life.”

In the book Tennis Fitness for the Love of it: A Mindful Approach to Fitness for Injury-free Tennis, all tennis players will find practical advice detailing how to become tennis-fit and injury-free. The 178 pages with 87 photographs are divided into 64 easy to read chapters that cover all aspects of injury prevention, stretching, strengthening and performance improvement. The book is small enough to carry in a tennis bag for daily study and the increase of body consciousness. It is available on Amazon.com for $ 14.95. More information about the book and author is on the web at http://www.TennisFitnessLove.com.
