New RedEye Webinar: What Test Next?

Learn how a testing strategy will improve your online conversion

Shenley Wood, Milton Keynes, September 30, 2011 - RedEye today introduces the next in its monthly series of concise, free digital marketing webinars entitled - ‘What Test Next?’ This 30-minute session takes place online at 3pm on Thursday 6th October 2011.

Every online marketer understands the importance of testing. However, with all the data available at one’s fingertips, knowing what to test and when to test can be a challenge. Too often marketers guess what factors to concentrate on and end up testing things that have little or no impact on conversion rates.

Using a process of Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) companies can use online data to evaluate what changes will have the biggest impact and produce a successful testing strategy to effectively and continually optimise their online business.

Attend this RedEye webinar to discover how you can implement a successful testing process that will improve your online conversion:

* Understand why the process of Conversion Rate Optimisation is important to your business.

* Learn how to use your data to prioritise your tests and achieve your conversion goals.

* Discover the importance of reporting on tests and the impact each test has on the full testing process.

Title: What test next?

Date: Thursday 6th October

Time: 3pm-3.30pm

SAFE International Launches Burlington Women’s Self Defense Parties – Burlington, ON Self Defense

SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense parties in Burlington, ON.

Burlington, ON, September 30, 2011 - (Straight Line PR) - Burlington Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Burlington Women’s Self Defense Parties

SAFE International ™ is the leading provider of mobile self defense/personal protection training in Ontario. SAFE International has taught more than 120,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense parties in Burlington, ON.

SAFE International quickly realized that women had completely different concerns, fears, and needs than males. Chris Roberts, CEO of SAFE International listened to their concerns and tailored something that was not only educational, but also met their personal fears. Men have no idea what women go through on an everyday basis from the stares and comments to the physical gestures and advances.

One of the reasons that SAFE International enjoys teaching women’s self defense Burlington, is how receptive women are to the skills that the SAFE International instructors provide. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts, rather than techniques. This allows women to learn in a much shorter time. SAFE International always covers Awareness and Avoidance strategies which are based on one's daily routines.  We examine what an attacker looks for, what an attacker wants and doesn't want in confrontation. One of the biggest topics we explore is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite. We cover the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage. We then move on to verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible.  Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, we cover a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario. The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Burlington women’s self defense. We begin with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance.  We only teach gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario.  We teach a philosophy of "Attack the Attacker" which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator. Another philosophy is to attack the head if all avoidance and verbal strategies have failed. This is only 30 minutes into the physical training and you can see how the self defense concepts are very effective.  The self defense drills increase with intensity as the participants gain more confidence.  This is very important as you don't want to terrify your clients right from the start.  It is important to build rapport with your students and the results will be seen as the drills progress. The following YouTube video shows how much can be learned in only 30 minutes of women’s self defense instruction.


Forget Tupperware Parties!
Invite 6 to 8 of your friends for a few hours of fun, education and potentially life- saving instruction. Plan a meal, bbq, snacks, maybe some dessert! Be prepared for a unique Burlington Women’s Self Defense experience! What has made SAFE International so popular is their unique method of teaching with humour and sharing of anecdotes. Get to experience their simulated attacks in scenario specific situations such as at the front door, the kitchen, the car, etc.

SAFE International has taught more than 120,000 clients including mothers, fathers, daughters, police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities.
