RedEye Opens US office

RedEye brings behavioural email to the ‘home’ of cart abandonment

Shenley Wood, Milton Keynes, July 06, 2011 - Following on from its successful European expansion, recently opening an office in Dusseldorf, Germany, RedEye today announces its move into the US by opening its first office in New Jersey. RedEye, the leader in behavioural email, specialises in helping businesses boost consumer sales by reducing shopping cart abandonment and increasing conversion rates.

Online abandonment is a massive problem for brands, not least in the US - research shows up to 70% of users abandon their online shopping carts which equates to around $18 billion of lost revenue - and the vast majority of ecommerce brands do nothing to recapture these lost sales.

RedEye’s Behavioural Email onDemand product can help companies remarket to these users and achieve a 20% conversion rate. The service is very easy to set up and users can be enjoying the benefits within 24 hours.

Mark Patron, RedEye CEO said, "We are very excited about expanding our services to the US. RedEye has been using behavioural email to help clients improve conversion in the UK for 10 years. It is the best way to increase click-through and conversion rates resulting in a higher return on investment (ROI) for email marketing campaigns. Data issues and wasted opportunities can be caused by things falling through the cracks. Currently only a small proportion of online marketers run the most basic shopping cart abandonment email programmes. I am sure online marketers in the US will be quick to take advantage of such a revenue boosting activity."

RedEye’s Behavioural Email onDemand product is proving very popular with online brands. RedEye has over 100 clients in the UK including Interflora, Avis/Budget, Marks & Spencer and Ford.

Brian Connell is the newly appointed Commercial Director for RedEye in the US. Brian said "Cart abandonment is a big problem for online retailers in the US, costing companies up to $18 billion in lost revenue. Behavioural Email onDemand from RedEye will provide US marketers with an effective solution to recapture these lost sales.

"The service we are offering is unique in the market as it is the only one with analytics and an ESP all under one roof. Businesses in the United Kingdom and Germany have experienced great success. I’m very excited about introducing this innovative program to US marketers."

The New Jersey team joins the three offices in the UK: Crewe, Milton Keynes and London, and the Dusseldorf team in Germany. Together they look after a huge range of clients spanning many business sectors, such as retail, insurance & finance, travel, online gaming and the public sector. Since 1997 RedEye has been helping online companies improve conversion through email marketing, analytics and usability.

For more information on this 30 day free trial offer, US users please visit http://www.us.redeye.com/ or call 201-254-3143.

UK companies can visit www.ondemand.redeye.com or call 020 7730 9958 to find out more.

The Flame Authority Launches New Fire Protection Product in Response to Alarming Study

The Flame Authority announces a new line of products that quickly combat home fires.

Deer Park, NY, July 06, 2011 -- The Flame Authority announces a new line of products that quickly combat home fires.

Since the five-year statistics on house fire rates were published by the National Fire Protection Association in 2009, the Flame Authority has been working on its line of automatic fire extinguishers. Called the Flame Defender, this new line of products uses an effective fire retardant chemical known as monoammonium phosphate to eliminate fires as they happen.

The introduction of the Flame Defender follows the NFPA's report that the 362,500 home structural fires that occurred in the United States from 2004 through 2009 caused $7.6 billion in property damage and claimed more than 2,500 civilian lives.

Heating and electrical equipment caused nearly one-fourth of the fires in the NFPA report. These types of fires are particularly destructive because they often break out in basements and utility cupboards, where they may be undetected by homeowners even if they are at home when the fire erupts.

The Flame Defender is ideal for these types of situations as it does not require a person to operate it. A special temperature sensor automatically triggers a pressure gauge to release the fire retardant material when the temperature reaches 155 degrees Fahrenheit. The unit is also rated to combat Class A, B and C fires, meaning its safe for use on everything from paper to flammable liquids to electrical equipment.

The line of Flame Defender automatic fire extinguishers features three sizes, allowing homeowners to protect an area up to 7.7 feet in diameter. Commercial and marine versions are also available for business owners and boaters to protect their investments. The product requires no special plumbing or drilling to install. Homeowners simply mount the device onto the wall and let the Flame Defender go to work to protect their homes and belongings.

2UP Gaming PLC and ToteDaddy One Step Closer to Finalising Partnership deal

Listed online gaming and entertainment company 2UP Gaming PLC (2GM:GR) is one step closer to finalising a deal with pool betting giant ToteDaddy after meeting in Malaysia.

London, UK, July 06, 2011 - 2UP marketing manager Peter Flynn visited ToteDaddy's Kuala Lumpur service centre again last week in preparation for the launch of 2UP’s gaming products on ToteDaddy’s website.

The deal will see 2UP’s range of popular gaming and wagering products made available to ToteDaddy’s substantial global membership base providing 2UP with immediate high-traffic exposure to the Asian online gaming market.

The first game to be released from 2UP is its live streaming and animated versions of the classic coin-tossing game.

2UP managing director Peter Bentley says the meeting was the next step in finalising the partnership between the two companies and allowed 2UP executives to cement relationships with ToteDaddy.

"We are extremely excited about this venture as it will create a fantastic online gaming partnerships in the region," Mr Bentley says.

"With so many smaller companies vying for the same market, partnering with a well-known and established company such as ToteDaddy is a strategic move for both of us.

"Talks are progressing quickly, so much so that we will be returning to Malaysia mid-July to discuss other opportunities that will benefit both businesses and strengthen our relationship."

2UP recently listed on the Börse Berlin Stock Exchange in Germany with its share price currently trading at 0.26 Euro per share, up from its listing of 0.10 Euro per share, with a market capitalisation of approximately 72 million Euro (USD$103 million at current exchange rate).

2UP has an online gaming license granted until 2025 to capitalise on its market positioning.

The core focus of the company is the coin toss game, a game that is played in most countries around the world where players make a call on whether two coins being tossed in the air will fall as two tails or two heads. A correct call wins.

This will be underpinned by other unique and established gaming and wagering options to be released as part of its growth plans.

With just a short time in business Sales Results Fast is rolling out shorter and more powerful classes with a reduced cost to the trainee. According to co-founder Allan Giese, through accumulated feedback they’ve found that a primary concern among their customers is the time taken away from the work day to get the sales training needed.

For example, in the Prospecting 101 sales training class you can learn all the basics of prospecting, effective in person prospecting, and effective networking skills, while the Prospecting 102 sales training class focuses almost entirely around phone prospecting.

SearchCommercialSpace.com Launched with 20000 Commercial Listings in USA and Canada

SearchCommercialSpace.com is the premier commercial property listing service site dedicated to commercial office, warehouse and shared space for rent and sublease. We feature traditional and executive space in major cities around USA and Canada.

San Diego, CA, July 05, 2011 - The online realm for buying, selling and leasing commercial space holds tremendous potential. Most current commercial web sites list content for the benefit of the real estate community, the supply side of the business. Very little is geared towards tenants and buyers, the demand side of the business -- unlike residential, where it is reversed.

Commercial has always lagged residential when it comes to using the Internet to market properties for sale and particularly for lease. About 3/4 of all residential property sales last year were initiated by an Internet search. We believe commercial real estate will follow suit and SearchCommercialSpace.com will be at the forefront of the global sales channel collecting fees on listings, availability reports and third party lease and purchase transactions.

We feature traditional office space covering all the professions from Medical, Legal, Accounting to Financial Service space.

We cover specialized space such as Bio-Tech, High-Tech, Data Center, Call Center, Plug-N-Play and Creative space.

We also cover Executive Suite, Shared Space, Fully Furnished, Conference Room Rentals and Corporate Address Identify Packages.

We are focused on becoming the market leader internationally for satisfying all commercial real estate needs (sale and lease).

We hold a solid network of local tenant representation professionals throughout the United States & Canada ready to assist you.

Stepping Stone Secures €200m Line of equity for Astra Mining

Corporate advisory firm Stepping Stone Equity has secured a €200 million line of equity for Australian diversified resources company Astra Mining.

Brisbane, QLD, July 04, 2011 - The deal, which is the result of a term sheet signed on 26 April, will provide working capital and a project-standby facility for Astra after its Frankfurt Exchange listing in August while it finalises a major global prospectus being placed with a number of investment banks and international brokers.

The line of equity is being facilitated through private investment group Equity Partners Fund SPC with the backing of two major commercial banking institutions from Asia and South America.

Stepping Stone executive director James Skinner says the syndicated transaction will provide post-listing funding for a period of three years as and when needed by Astra Mining.

"Astra is an emerging global resource company with a number of opportunities either underway or in the pipeline, and as such this line of equity will enable them to continue to develop these opportunities," Mr Skinner says.

"Through Equity Partners Fund SPC we have managed to gain the backing of two large commercial banks, the Zigong Commercial Bank Company of China and the Banif Banco de Investimento of Brazil, with a third commercial bank in South East Asia considering additional facilities.

"We expect this line of equity to significantly boost interest in Astra’s unconditional listing on the Deutsche Börse next month when we expect them to debut at €1.50."

Astra Mining’s global portfolio includes gold and tin interests in south east Asia and southern India, coal mines in Australia and Africa, iron ore in India and Africa, and the production of a new high-strength steel technology.

Astra’s CEO Dr Jaydeep Biswas says the line of equity will ensure the company is able to continue to successfully operate on a global scale and comes at a pivotal point in time.

"Astra has a number of interests in the resources sector spanning four continents and this funding will help us continue with our projects immediately after our listing," Dr. Biswas says.

"We’re on the cusp of concluding our interests in several projects including joint ventures to produce gold and coal which will all add enormous value to the equity base of the company.

"We are also developing positions in high-grade iron ore mining and trading which puts us in a unique low-cost supply position for the steel manufacturing industry which we are also heavily involved in.

"As such we believe the line of equity will further propel the company towards becoming a leading worldwide resources group."

Stepping Stone Equity is an Australian based corporate finance company that is an associate partner and deal flow manager for private institutional investors operating a network of agents worldwide.

The firm, together with Gebo Equity Management, has assisted a number of companies list on the Deutsche Börse including most recently online gaming and entertainment company 2UP Gaming PLC (2GM:GR) who is currently trading at €0.26 per share, up from its listing of €0.10 per share, with a market capitalisation of approximately €72 million (USD$103 million at the current exchange rate).

Equity Partners Fund SPC, which has established separate portfolios for the two commercial banks, generally looks to invest in listed companies with consistent trading volumes for a variety of activities including working capital, acquisitions and other growth opportunities.

The fund’s investment guidelines, apart from a company’s size and liquidity, require them to have exceptional management and long-term sustainable growth opportunities with the potential to achieve significant milestones over a developmental period.

Now you can Protect your Home from a Fire even when you are a sleep, or away from home - Automatic fire extinguisher

A fire can break out at any time, putting your home or business at jeopardy.

Deer Park, NY, July 04, 2011 - Even if you pay for fire alarm monitoring, you'll need to wait for your monitoring service to report the incident and the dispatch and arrival of the fire department. Every minute counts during a fire; the longer it burns uncontrollably the greater the loss to your personal or business belongings.

The Flame Defender, an automatic fire extinguisher, provides peace of mind by working to put out fires when they start.

These systems substitute for sprinklers and offer a much faster response than fire monitoring services.

How the Flame Defender Works

The Flame Defender contains a powerful detection sensor that responds to changes in temperature. When the unit senses a temperature of at least 155 degrees Fahrenheit, the Flame Defender's pressure gauge releases a spray of a multipurpose fire retardant in a hemispherical pattern from its nozzle, eliminating the flames.

The Flame Defender is a Class ABC extinguisher that contains monoammonium phosphate, a type of sticky yellow powder. This material is suitable for fires from paper, wood, cardboard and flammable and corrosive liquids as well as electrical appliances, wiring, circuit breakers and outlets.

The powder emitted from the Flame Defender does have the potential to damage electrical equipment as it leaves behind a sticky residue, but the cost of repairing or replacing these items is significantly less than those associated with the damage possible from an uncontrolled fire.

Setting up the Flame Defender is easy; you simply mount the unit vertically with the wall bracket on any wall to protect a room.

The Flame Defender Lineup

The commercial, residential and marine Flame Defender comes in three sizes, each of which can protect an area of a specific size.

Small Unit 4.4lbs (2Kg) 4ft. (1.24m) in diameter visit :

Medium Unit 13.2lbs (6Kg) 6ft. (1.8m) in diameter Visit :

Large Unit 26.4lbs (12Kg) 7.7ft. (2.3m) in diameter Visit :

Benefits of the Flame Defender:

* No plumbing or wiring required
* Easy do-it-yourself installation
* Quick response until the fire department arrives
* Self-activated to take care of fires when you're not there
* No water damage from sprinkler systems
* Less chance of reigniting than with CO2-based extinguishers
* Versatile enough to handle Class A, B and C fires
* Zero ozone depletion effect, making it environmentally friendly

Order your Flame Defender, your fire department in a can, today. Mount it on the wall and then relax--you're home or business is taken care of.

Veteran's Memorial Display Cases from Flag Connections Honor American Heroes

Flags Connections announces the sale of its veteran's memorial display case for the friends and family of men and women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Deer Park, NY, July 01, 2011 - Flags Connections announces the sale of its veteran's memorial display case for the friends and family of men and women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

The case accommodates numerous mementos, allowing for a complete memorial. The top portion has a triangular shape meant to accommodate the 5-foot by 9.5-foot flags that serve as ceremonial draperies for military funerals. The base of the case holds medals earned for service in law enforcement, the armed forces and other protective services. A 4-inch by 6-inch photo frame completes the case by holding a picture of the deceased.

Said a previous customer who purchased the product, "This memorial flag case is just the thing I was looking for to honor my late father. I had a classic cremation urn before, but felt that this...case was a bit more suitable with its flag overlay. He served for 20 years in the Force, and this was very appropriate. I wish I knew about these before; nothing but the best for Dad."

The Flag Connections veteran's memorial display case measures 27 inches wide and 16 inches in height. Made from solid wood, the case is available in a choice of black or mahogany finishes. Genuine glass protects the mementos stored in the case, providing a more polished look than the inferior plexiglass used in similar products sold by Flag Connections' competitors.

The combination of high-quality materials and innovative design make the Flag Connections veteran's memorial display case a unique item to represent the memory of America's heroes for years to come. The case is also engrave-able with up to four lines of text.

Flag Connections makes shopping easy with its secure, online website. The veteran's display case is typically shipped within one business day. Discounts are available for multiple purchases, which is perfect for gift-givers.
