The Number of Top retailers using Abandoned Basket Email has doubled

Data was collected June-July 2011, and compares research with results from RedEye’s previous Behavioural Email Benchmark Studies released in November 2010 and March 2011.

Shenley Wood, Milton Keynes, September 10, 2011 - Latest research from RedEye shows the UK’s top retailers are increasingly adopting behavioural email in their online marketing efforts. Back in November 2010, an earlier study showed only 7% of e-retailers had implemented abandoned basket email - this has now doubled to 14%.

This significant jump demonstrates more and more brands are realising the huge conversion uplift possible from using abandoned basket email. However, despite the relatively simple setup process, a massive 86% are still not using email to capture otherwise lost sales.

This new research is unveiled in RedEye’s third Behavioural Email Benchmark Study. The study looks at the use of behavioural email by over 200 online companies (across e-retail, insurance and gambling). Data was collected June-July 2011, and compares research with results from RedEye’s previous Behavioural Email Benchmark Studies released in November 2010 and March 2011.

Now there are more companies than ever using behavioural email. Back in November, on average, 35% of all the companies monitored sent some form of behavioural email. Since March, this number has reached over 50%. The retail sector is catching up in their use of behavioural email. Back in November e-retailers were lagging behind with their use of behavioural email; on average only 29% used any type of behavioural email, but this has now increased to 46%.

Not following up on abandoned baskets, or any inactivity in the buying process, is a massive missed opportunity (worth £billions).

Matthew Kelleher, Commercial Director at RedEye explains: “Behavioural email has reached a turning point, finally in 2011 more companies are utilising it than aren’t. However, there are still a huge amount of missed opportunities for marketers, particularly when it comes to using abandoned basket email. A simple, automated abandoned basket trigger is easy to setup and can produce one of the best returns on investment – but 86% of companies are yet to start using it!”

Key Findings

• Generally the use of behavioural email is steadily increasing across all sectors (e-retail, insurance, gambling).

• Gambling companies seem to be implementing the majority of triggers, with an average 70% using behavioural email across the triggers monitored. Statistically e-retailers are next in line, with an average 46% of e-retailers using behavioural email. The insurance sector is now lagging behind with an average of just 34% implementing behavioural email.

• The number of behavioural email triggers implemented within the e-retail sector has increased across all emails monitored.

• The welcome email is the most commonly used email, implemented by 90% of gambling companies and 64% of e-retailers. However, 25% of e-retailers do not even offer pre-purchase registration, meaning a welcome email cannot be sent.

• Despite a slight increase in use since March 2011, abandoned basket email is still the least used behavioural email. This is unfortunate as, based on conversion, it can be viewed as the most successful email trigger used by retail clients.

• On average, retailers receive the highest CTR (Click-Through Rate) from using behavioural email.

• Based on conversion the single most successful behavioural email trigger implemented by RedEye clients is the abandoned basket email, this is followed by the saved quote follow up email used by insurance companies.

The study researched the online email processes of the likes of Amazon.co.uk, Play.com, Next.co.uk, Thomas Cook and Halfords

Top Marcellus Shale Resource Releases Updated Analysis of Industry Related Legislation

Marcellus Minutes Notes Bills Introduced to Date Have Reached 100

Harrisburg, PA, September 09, 2011 - With the fall session set to resume, 100 Marcellus Shale related bills have been introduced in the Pennsylvania General Assembly. This avalanche of bills in 2011 far outstrips the General Assembly’s pace during the two year session that ended in December of 2010. “In the entire 2009 – 2010 legislative session, Pennsylvania lawmakers introduced 83 bills. Two of those proposals eventually became law,” stated Tim Bittle, the creator and author of the Marcellus Minutes newsletter and website. Marcellus Minutes, a division of Bigley and Blikle, LLC, is a nonpartisan, subscription-based news and information service that has provided vital information to the state government, the Marcellus Shale industry and the general public for more than three years.

“As the industry convenes a sold out conference in Philadelphia, legislators continue to drop in bills to regulate it. Also, the first voting session held since Governor Tom Corbett’s Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission has released its 96 recommendations will convene later this month,” noted Bittle. “As the industry further develops in Pennsylvania, legislative interest in regulating Marcellus Shale activities has dramatically increased and we expect that to continue.”

The range of legislation regulating the Marcellus Shale industry includes fiscal and tax matters, water quality, property owner rights, and industry safety. The Commonwealth’s Oil and Gas Act contains the basic legislative framework for the industry’s regulation. Bills amending the Oil and Gas Act form the greatest number of new legislative proposals in this legislative session and the past two sessions.

Bittle further noted that when the industry was in its nascent stage in Pennsylvania, only two bills amending the Oil and Gas Act were introduced during the 2007 – 2008 legislative session. This tally increased to 21 bills during the 2009 – 2010 legislative session. In the current session, 20 bills amending the Oil and Gas Act have been introduced with more expected to come.

“As with other hot issues, the Marcellus Shale industry is drawing legislative fire from all quarters. But like most issue areas, only a fraction of the introduced legislation will become law,” Bittle stated.

To assist lawmakers, the industry and interested parties, Bittle has posted on the Marcellus Minutes website (www.marcellusminutes.com) a helpful document identifying the plethora of Marcellus Shale related bills that await legislative action.

Highlights and Points of Interest Regarding the 96 Marcellus Shale Related Bills:

62 are House Bills

38 are Senate Bills

55 were introduced by Republicans

45 were introduced by Democrats

13 bills would impose a severance tax or local impact fee

4 bills would impose a drilling moratorium of one type or another

Marcellus Minutes is an information-packed resource that provides subscribers with the latest state government news, including reports on General Assembly and Administration actions as well as a legislative committee hearing testimony and bill tracking. Marcellus Minutes also provides news and information from around the Commonwealth about this natural gas formation. Subscribers receive full access to the Marcellus Minutes website and a weekly newsletter via email.

Windy Town Releases A New CD - Mozart & Beethoven For PETS - An album for you and your pets to enjoy together

When you need relaxation, downtime, an escape from your troubles, this recording rises to the occasion. Sit back with your cat or dog on the couch and relax, enjoy some down time. Let time pass a little more slowly and listen to these great pieces of music that have passed the test of time, and are worth hearing.

Bartlett, IL, September 09, 2011 - Michael Droste, a composer and musician from Illinois, released an album called "Mozart & Beethoven For PETS." "Much has been written about the positive effects of their music on the mind and the resulting measurable increases in brain activity. Combine that result, with the calming effect of a pet that lowers blood pressure and eases tension; you receive an unbeatable combination!" said Droste. He stated, “I also wanted to get the idea out there that: Beauty Can Change The World." This truly beautiful music can change your mood and the mood of others. True art, truly beautiful music, can change the world.

Mozart has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is due to both. ~ Henri Frederic Amiel ~

"Call your pet over to the couch, lie back, close your eyes or take out your favorite book, and relax as you listen the greatest composers of all time." said Droste.

The album Mozart & Beethoven For PETS by Michael Droste is available through the Itunes, Amazon and other online music retailers. You can also see their music at WindyTown.com http://www.WindyTown.Com

About Windy Town:

Windy Town is a privately owned music company founded in 1992. Located in Bartlett IL., a suburb of Chicago, they release five to ten unique musical recordings a year.

Fire Retardant Spray used in the World Trade Center Reconstruction is Available for Homeowners

After being used in the reconstruction of World Trade Center Number 7 in New York City, New York, Inspecta-Shield Plus is now available to help homeowners and small business owners protect their property, loved ones and customers.

Deer Park, NY, September 09, 2011 - When construction began on the World Trade Center adjacent to Ground Zero, the architect and construction teams employed numerous techniques to help increase safety in the landmark building. As a part of these safety measures, Northeast Fireshield's Inspecta-Shield Plus fire-retardant spray was applied in the elevator banks on three of the building's floors.

The presence of Inspecta-Shield Plus spray helps increase the amount of time available to safely evacuate a building like the World Trade Center, but it is just as effective when used in a home or small business. Inspecta-Shield works by causing an increase in the combustion temperature of flammable items. More simply put, the product makes items resistant to flames, meaning that temperatures must become higher for them to burn in comparison to an untreated product.

Northeast Fireshield's Inspecta-Shield Plus spray is completely nontoxic. Its colorless formula is invisible under normal lighting, so it has no impact upon the appearance of a treated room or material. A versatile product, Inspecta-Shield Plus works on lumber, carpeting, curtains, paper, draperies and many other flammable materials. Trained technicians from Northeast Fireshield perform the application of Inspecta-Shield Plus using specialized sprayers. After a 48-hour curing period, that one application is enough to protect the treated area.

Inspecta-Shield Plus is the only colorless, Class A fire retardant spray on the market that carries the approval of the IC Evaluation Service for lumber and plywood. The product also has accreditations through numerous other agencies, including Underwriters Laboratory, the Federal Aviation Administration and the New York City Fire Department.

Its proven ability to increase the amount of time for safe evacuations and effective responses from firefighters has made Northeast Fireshield's Inspecta-Shield Plus spray part of the fire safety systems in many well known facilities, such as the Metropolitan Opera and the US Embassies around the world. Now, the same formula used to protect these important buildings can help protect the things most important to homeowners, too.

"Internet Radio Show Promotes South Florida and Connects Advertisers with Boomers!"

According to tcpalm.com Florida is about to be overrun with Baby Boomers (born between 1946-1964) Between 2010 and 2030, boomers are expected to descend upon the Sunshine State in record numbers as the state's largest age group retires.

Ft. Lauderdale, FL, September 07, 2011 - According to tcpalm.com Florida is about to be overrun with Baby Boomers (born between 1946-1964) Between 2010 and 2030, boomers are expected to descend upon the Sunshine State in record numbers as the state's largest age group retires. In a nutshell, the Boomers have money and Florida would love you to spend it here, thank you very much!

And Its BEYOND Complicated: The Boomer Humor Radio Show -- the #1 self-indulgent help program on Internet Radio (heard every Monday at 4-5PM EST on talkzone.com) wants to do its part by promoting Florida and connecting advertisers with this affluent generation. The Boomer Humor Radio Show is the love child of author/humorists -- and former northeast transplants -- Peter "The Reinvention Guy" Fogel and Anna "The Armenian Goddess" Collins.

For over two decades, Fogel and Collins were working comedians having appeared -- or worked on over twenty-five television shows including Comic Strip Live, HBO's Comedy Central, VH-!, Married with Children etc. So what do two former working comics know about advertising and radio? It seems plenty. Fogel says, "In my early show business days I was a voice-over actor who hawked products for American Express, Zuma, Whisk, Miller Lite and Mazda. I also did a lot of radio promoting club dates at local venues that I was performing at!"

Anna chimes in, "And I was a radio copywriter writing advertising spots at a Boston radio station." Fast forward today, Fogel reinvented himself into a direct response copywriter, marketing and branding strategist. His partner in mirth, The Armenian Goddess, reinvented herself into a graphic designer and animator. And thus Boomer Humor Productions was conceived, born and nurtured.

Fogel says, "Consumers are inundated with over 3000 advertising messages a day from TV, Radio and the Internet. We felt it's vital that our advertisers message stand out from their competitions. To accomplish that, we create Internet Radio spots for our show -- and then combine those spots with animation (ANNAmationTM) The end results are "animercials!"TM Collins adds, "We're using our comedy writing strengths and animation to hook the viewer into our advertiser's message. It's a one-two punch of brand awareness and a strong call to action!"

From the show's success, Fogel and Collins have a Global Internet Radio following --- as well as a local one due to the many comedy benefit gigs they do for the Miami Dade Autism Society. Their club audience knows about local retailers as well as national companies that have an internet presence as well. (The Home Depot, Jamba Juice)

The draw of Its BEYOND Complicated is its humor, guest author/experts that speak on a variety of topics… and of course, celebrity interviews with such notables as Body By Jake Steinfeld, Academy Award Nominee Chazz Palminteri (A Bronx Tale) aw well as many other illuminaries to numerous to mention here.

JMango is Bringing Tune Talk’s Services to Mobile User’s Hands

International mobile solutions development firm JMango will be creating mobile applications for Tune Talk, Malaysia’s newest mobile operator.

Hong Kong and Malaysia, September 07, 2011 - International mobile solutions development firm JMango will be creating mobile applications for Tune Talk, Malaysia’s newest mobile operator. The mobile application will serve as an extension of Tune Talk’s online services, allowing users to access the company’s services through their mobile devices wherever they are.

The Tune Talk app will initially include many of the company’s online services such as user account management tools, account balance checks and the ability to tweak parts of their current subscription. A roadmap is already in-place that will see additional features such as the ability to transfer funds from the user’s bank to pay for subscription fees or top up credits direct from within the application.

“We are thrilled to be chosen to develop Tune Talk’s mobile application! The challenges are all there, from the wide range of devices that the app needs to work on to the ever growing user-base of Tune Talk.

Enhance Your Most Vital Relationship Building Skills

The number one way to build and maintain relationships is still face-to-face networking. A real handshake trumps a virtual one; a real smile outperforms a smiley face. Networking authority Lillian Bjorseth shows you how through classes and her book.

Lisle, IL, September 06, 2011 - To help people improve their number one way to build and maintain relationships, networking authority Lillian Bjorseth, president of Duoforce Enterprises, Inc., is offering face-to-face networking skills classes in two Chicago, IL suburban locations this fall.

The first class will be from 9 am–12 noon Sept. 27, 2011 at Directions Training, Oak Brook, IL. Cost is $115 and includes Bjorseth’s book, Breakthrough Networking: Building Relationships That Last, now in the third edition.

On Oct. 17, 2011, she will teach relationship-building skills from 9 am–12 noon at North Central College, Naperville IL. Cost is $125, plus $21.95 for the book.

“People like to do business with and hire people they know and trust. One of the surest ways to get people to know and trust you is to meet them in person. A virtual handshake can’t replace a real one, and a smiley face will never be the same as a real smile,” Bjorseth said.

“I’ll help participants determine their target market and where to meet them, develop trust, start and end meaningful conversations with ease, develop a written relationship-building plan, construct an effective Verbal Business Card, follow up and much more,” Bjorseth said.

Bjorseth is an award-winning professional speaker, trainer and coach who has helped tens of thousands of people nationwide boost their business and enhance their careers. She received the 2011 Wordsmith Award and was named 2010 Member of the Year by the National Speakers Association-IL Chapter. She was named 2009 Outstanding Chicago Speaker by Red Carpet Concierge.

JA Carlton’s "Heroes of the Line" Book A Month Giveaway Announces First Winner

Last week JA Carlton’s “Heroes of the Line” Book-A-Month Giveaway announced its first winner. The giveaway will continue on a monthly basis through December with the final winner receiving a copy of all four Carlton books.

Austin, TX, September 06, 2011 - Last Thursday, on Facebook’s “Nick, of Time” page, author JA Carlton announced B. Nolan as the first winner of her “Heroes of the Line” Book-A-Month Giveaway.

The giveaway is part of Carlton’s “Heroes of the Line” child abuse prevention campaign. Carlton has pledged 30% of her personal proceeds toward the prevention of child abuse in America and is giving away a hard copy of the book of the winner’s choice as an award for joining the campaign via a purchase of any of her titles.

The selection of books include her psychological thriller “Broken”, a story inspired by actual events that follows a serial killer as he spirals out of control on his quest to confront the person who tortured him as a child.

“More than 98% of serial killers are created, frequently by the people closest to them. Most are made, not born. We can’t stop creating killers until we understand how most of them are made.” - JA Carlton.

Her sci-fi “Freedom Fighter” series, consisting of the currently available first installment, “Wednesday’s Child” and its sequel “Into the Fire”, takes an almost prophetic look at the results of the current American sociopolitical climate.

The series takes place in 2055 where the American nation is a 3,000 mile wide graveyard. 70% of the population has been eradicated by shadowy government agencies. It’s a modern day genetic cleansing program that has forced the remaining citizens to fight for their very survival against those who are supposed to protect them.

“The only reason I have to call it fiction is because it simply hasn’t come to light yet.” She says.

And finally, the “Heroes of the Line” series after which her child abuse prevention campaign is named.

The first book, “Nick, of Time” introduces the reader to Nick, and Frank Emerson, two young brothers who learn they are destined to lead a band of heroes in a war against the Living Dark and its sinister agents, the Schades.

The common thread among Carlton’s books is that the main protagonists (even Randy Custon, “Broken”s serial killer) have all endured horrific childhood traumas. Critics argue that Carlton’s writings are exceptionally graphic for little other purpose than ‘shock value’, and others claim the works a means to feed society’s desire for more and more gratuitous violence.

Carlton says, “I like to think they’re warnings to think about how our actions echo forward. But most importantly, a message of hope to victims that abuse can be overcome, and that in spite of it, survivors can be heroes if they choose.”

Carlton’s books are published by Uneak Press, Inc. a small Austin, Tx. based press that prides itself on being a haven for storytellers, wordsmiths and artisans. Uneak chooses to highlight authors who are passionate about their craft and more concerned with getting the story out than following formula. They’re also invested in local talent like their newest addition to the family, supernatural thriller writer Will Holloway, and local artists Heather Ellis and Avery Beckett. Uneak Press, Inc. is currently open to submissions by aspiring authors.

VH1 Classic MTV Music Video Artist Michael Sciuto Re-Releases '80s Music Album

Eighties musician Michael Sciuto announces the re-release of his classic album, "Edge", as well as two never-seen-before '80s music videos.

Los Angeles, CA, September 03, 2011 (Straight Line PR) -- Most people who lived through the 1980s still reminisce about the stars that glittered on the music scene during that decade. While many artists have faded from memory, the genre they left behind is still hugely popular today. '80s music has a perfect blend of anti-establishment rebelliousness woven in with pulsing good time grooves, catchy hooks and clever lyrics.

Bands like INXS, Duran Duran, Flock of Seagulls and Robert Palmer dominated the charts in the '80s, and their sound and style is very much alive today in the hearts of the Generation X and Baby Boomer populations.

Michael Sciuto is one of those '80s artists who has remained active into the 21st century. Having been featured in an '80s MTV music video with Dennis DeYoung, lead singer of Styx, Sciuto also toured with John Stamos of ABC's Full House in the band Jessie and the Rippers, as well as a brief stint appearing on ABC's Full House TV show. He was endorsed by Marshall Amps and Ibanez Guitars, and he created some designs for those companies back in the '80s. As a studio bass player, Michael has appeared in many sessions on the LA studio scene, performing on tracks for a variety of artists.

Sciuto recently re-released his '80s music album "Edge" after overwhelming requests from fans of the '80s music genre. Also being released this year are two remastered Michael Sciuto music videos that have not been previously published.

Of course, Sciuto's best-known video appearance was in the short, iconic video from the classic days of MTV, where he is seen playing bass with the lead singer from Styx, Dennis DeYoung, in his solo effort, "Don't Wait For Heroes." This Dennis DeYoung video can still be found occasionally on VH1 Classics, or it can be viewed on You Tube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dJlSxiczhc

Sciuto was originally signed by music mogul and manager Monty Lipman, of Universal Music, who went on to sign artists such as Taylor Swift and Amy Winehouse. Later, Sciuto also worked with Steve Longo Management, who was with Westwood One Radio at the time.

"Most baby boomers are now easing into their golden years," said Sciuto, "but '80s music reminds them of what life was like for them almost thirty years ago, giving them a fresh glimpse back into their past." The "Edge" album was actually released in 1988, but became popular in Europe in 1999, showing how timeless Sciuto's music can be. Shortly thereafter, Sciuto got busy raising a family, and dropped out of the music scene for a while, never actively promoting "Edge" in the United States. The album's title song, originally called "Living On the Edge", was written years before the release of Aerosmith's 1993 tune, "Living on The Edge", prompting Michael to shorten his title track to simply "Edge". "Now, years later, it is great fun to hear from fans who reconnect with my songs," says Sciuto.

Today, Michael Sciuto works behind the scenes in many online endeavors and has now brought "Edge" back off the shelves for re-release here in the states, as well as the worldwide stage, for '80s music lovers everywhere.

His classic '80s album "Edge" is now available at: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/michaelsciuto

About Michael Sciuto:

Studio musician and songwriter Michael Sciuto has been involved in the music industry and LA music scene for many years. Having toured and recorded with his brother Tony Sciuto, Michael won the Marshall Amplifiers Marshall Stun Solo contest in 1986. His work is now enjoying a resurgence as interest in '80s music is being renewed.

Online Gaming and Entertainment Company Appoints Game Developer

Listed online gaming and entertainment company 2UP Gaming PLC (2GM:GR) has appointed Australian game developer 3 Sprockets to produce its first animated 2UP game.

London, UK, September 05, 2011 - 3 Sprockets specialises in producing games and applications for web, desktop and mobile devices.

2UP managing director Peter Bentley says the appointment is a milestone for the company in creating the game playing mechanics and automation behind the coin toss game.

“Appointing 3 Sprockets is a major step in moving forward with the evolution of the 2UP suite of products,” Mr Bentley says.

“The mechanics developed by 3 Sprockets will utilise the Unity gaming engine, a leading industry development tool, to operate our game with full 3D effects.

“2UP will allow users to play against other people from anywhere in the world, either for fun or for money.”

Mr Bentley says there are decades of experience between the staff at 3 Sprockets, and 2UP’s decision to award the contract to them will take advantage of their knowledge and expertise to ensure the game is appealing and interactive for users.

“The design will allow users to interact with the game and choose their own avatar when they log on to play,” Mr Bentley says.

“The sound effects and overall atmosphere for the website will create a unique experience enabling users to be immersed within the game.

“Multiple virtual rooms will be designed from an ‘Aussie outback’ theme in a tin shed, to the high end ‘Casino Royale’ style, with more themes to be added over time.”

3 Sprockets director Seon Rozenblum says building the 2UP game is something very exciting and different for the company.

“The company has been wanting to do something new, and 2UP is different to anything else out there at the moment,” Mr Rozenblum says.

“This means the opportunity to develop the 2UP game is really exciting for us, as we get to leverage our expertise in the Unity engine into a new breed of online gaming.

“The process will be a 6-month project and should be ready for closed live testing by the end of the year.”

Mr Rozenblum was creator and owner of Melbourne based Sector3, a successful Game Development, Animation and Visual FX company that he sold in March 2010 before establishing 3 Sprockets.

The core focus of 2UP Gaming PLC 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.

Microsoft's, Ben Rudolph reviewed* the SpaceBook- "...when I run across something that’s truly groundbreaking, something totally unique and never seen before, I get excited. Like really, really excited. And that’s exactly how I felt when I first got to use the gScreen... SpaceBook. The SpaceBook is unlike any laptop before it. Rather than have a single display, it has two that slide out from the center to create and amazing panorama display. Both panels are 17” full HD (1920 x 1080) glass, available in either a glossy or matte finish. It’s a really amazing design that’s really functional; the panels slide open and closed very easily..."

The SpaceBook will help users get up to 50% more work done when compared to a single screen alternative according to a Microsoft** study. The SpaceBook is a mobile workstation and a desktop replacement solution for business and personal use. Individuals and businesses from many industry sectors have ordered or shown interest in the SpaceBook, including, but not limited to: stock traders, doctors, digital content creators, photographers, cinematographer, engineers, accountants, sales, web designers and the US DOD.

The SpaceBook, at 10-pounds, weighs about 3-pounds more than the average 17-inch laptop (7-pounds), but gives users an extra full size 17-inch screen for mobile productivity. Specs include Windows 7 Pro, Intel i7 quad-core CPU with 8GB DDR1333 RAM, webcam, 500G HDD, NVIDIA discreet graphics, HDMI and Super DVD ODD. Customers can opt-into the free "Trade-back" program so that they can trade in their first generation SpaceBook for a 2nd generation when released and receive a 50% credit towards their new SpaceBook with new specs.
