Why Consumers Praise Better Shea Butters’ Excellent Customer Service

Through setting a great example, Better Shea Butter is proving that shopping online doesn’t mean that consumers shouldn’t expect any other than excellent customer service and premium quality products.

Houston, TX, October 04, 2013 - With people turning to online shopping in droves, consumers are often missing out on that all important customer service. That’s unless they are dealing with Better Shea Better. This company started trading on Amazon.com earlier this year with the launch of their premium grade, unrefined, organic Shea Butter. Unlike many other virtual enterprises, Better Shea Better puts as much effort into customer service as they do into their products. This is great news for consumers looking for quality natural beauty products, complemented by attentive, personal customer service.

When Better Shea Butter customer Mary received her order of Shea Butter she was delighted with the product:

“This is a wonderful product. Fresh, well-packaged and very easy to work with. It arrived promptly as well. I appreciate the packaging because I only use portions of it for the various recipes and by rewrapping it in the plastic, returning it to the sturdy bag it arrives in, and then storing it in a cool, dark place, it has stayed fresh since I opened it.”

However, it wasn’t only the Shea Butter that impressed Mary; the excellent customer service was also greatly appreciated:

“I contacted the seller because I wanted to receive the free recipe e-book. I received a response very promptly (which also included a video on how to prepare Whipped Shea Butter) I started email dialogue with the retailer (Isabella), asking questions about recipes, products, and uses.”

Mary goes on to explain what happened next and the great relationship that she has developed as a result of trading with Better Shea Butter:

“Isabella responded fully and quickly, also welcoming my input. Isabella was enthusiastically receptive to my ideas and it felt really good to know that I might be contributing to something that other people might appreciate or benefit from. Isabella also welcomes feedback about the recipes. I highly recommend purchasing products from Better Shea Butter.”

It’s this level of commitment to excellent customer service that makes Better Shea Butter stand out from the crowd, proving that online shopping can still be a personable, rewarding experience. Thus, it’s no wonder that Better Shea Butter is ranked amongst the top ten supplier of Shea Butter on Amazon. With more products to be launched, customers can continue to look forward to excellent customer service and superior merchandise from Better Shea Butter.

Blog Beast Creates A Home Business Marketing System


Blog Beast Creates A Home Business Marketing System. Blog Beast has created a marketing plate form to help any local business get found by their customers.

Eagan, MN, October 03, 2013 - Blog Beast Creates A Home Business Marketing System. Blog Beast has created a marketing plate form to help any local business get found by their customers. This new viral marketing system makes it easy to dominate a local community Nilsson says because it eliminates the technical problems in building a website.


Blog Beast will help all business to dominate your local or even regional market and explode your business online, all without spending more than a couple extra hours a week. AND it will cost you WAY less than traditional advertising methods such as yellow book ads, direct mail campaigns, bill boards, or newspaper ads.

Blog Beast simplifies the audio/video blogging experience by allowing the user to record video or audio with the aid of a mobile app. With two simple clicks, anyone can post a podcast or video online from a smartphone or computer, making Blog Beast essentially "grandma-proof."

Sharing is also easier because Blog Beast allows users to reblog posts from other Blog Beast sites, giving the original author credit, while posting the content within their own blogs. A new proprietary commenting feature allows readers to share blogs and their blog comments on social media platforms with links back to the original blog posts.

Nilsson says, After intentionally staying on the fringe of the Home Business/Network Marketing Industry for a dozen years, the careful evaluation and due diligence of a dozen different top internet marketing systems, it was obvious that Blog Beast had the perfect combination of product, leadership, training and appropriate market timing. It’s very rare to have all of these elements come together in one powerful structure all at the same time. Together we can make a huge and important difference in people’s lives.

3 Reasons Why The Best Shea Butter On Amazon is Better Shea Butter

Superior quality, outstanding customer service and plenty of free resources, these are the 3 key reasons why Better Shea Butter supplies the Best Shea Butter on Amazon.com.

Houston, TX, October 02, 2013 - Search Amazon.com for Shea Butter and a whopping 40,000+ results are returned. Finding the best Shea Butter might seem like an impossible task. However, a relatively new company called Better Shea Butter has been identified as having some of the best Shea Butter products on Amazon, consistently ranking in the top ten retailers. To achieve such great results in a short time frame suggests that this company will only grow more successful as more consumers learn why they offer the best Shea Butter.

There are three key reasons why Better Shea Butter supplies the best Shea Butter:

1. Quality: Better Shea Butter is committed to sourcing the highest grade Shea Butter.
Selling only raw, organic Shea Butter, customers are guaranteed premium quality when purchasing this product. There are no additives in their ivory and yellow Shea Butter varieties. Instead, consumers receive the full pure goodness that Shea Butter offers to promote healthy, younger looking skin and hair.

3. Free Resources: Better Shea Butter provide a free e-book with every purchase of their Shea Butter. This is full of useful information about how to make Shea Butter creams, lotions, conditioners and other products to support healthy skin and hair, plus a whole range of other useful tips.

For Better Shea Butter customers like Ester, this is clearly the best Shea Butter:
“This is the best quality Shea Butter I have used so far. I mix it with organic oils and use it on my face and hands right after shower. It keeps my skin soft and moisturized. It works much better than expensive department store cosmetics, and the best part is that it is natural and does not contain any chemicals that can destroy my health.”

With the best Shea Butter and service to match, Better Shea Butter is clearly setting a high benchmark for its competitors to inspire to.

The Palms Theatre Brings the Heat for Inaugural Musical Production Menopause the Musical® Kicks off the 2013-2014 Season

The Prather Entertainment Group is proud to announce the opening of The Palms Theatre in Mesa.

Mesa, AZ, October 02, 2013 - The Prather Entertainment Group is proud to announce the opening of The Palms Theatre in Mesa. Formerly known as Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre, the grand opening will take place October 24, 2013 to kick off the 2013-2014 season with the runaway hit musical comedy, Menopause the Musical® , running October 24th through November 23rd, with both evening and matinee performances.

In a marketing association with Black Dog Promotions, Menopause the Musical® promises to be an audience favorite, as popular as it was when it ran at Prather Entertainment Group’s other theatres, where the musical routinely had sold-out performances. The show is a non-stop feast of singing, dancing, witty dialogue and parodies from the ‘60’s, 70’s and 80’s that will resonate with a wide audience.

Menopause the Musical® is set in a department store, where four women with nothing in common but a black lace bra accidentally meet at a lingerie sale. The all-female cast pokes musical hilarity fun of their woeful hot flashes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and chocolate binges. A sisterhood is formed between these diverse women when they realize that menopause is no longer “The Silent Passage” and is made easier with a bit of humor.

Menopause The Musical® is the work of writer and producer, Jeanie Linders. The laughter-filled 90-minute production includes parodies from the classics of the ‘60s and ‘70s and ‘80s. Disco hit “Stayin’ Alive” becomes “Stayin’ Awake,” Motown favorite “My Girl” is transformed into “My Thighs,” “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” switches to “In the Guest Room or on the Sofa, My Husband Sleeps at Night,” and “Puff The Magic Dragon” becomes the anthem to exercise, “Puff, My God I’m Draggin.’” It’s ‘The Hilarious Celebration of Women and the Change!’®

The Prather Entertainment Group is a family owned and operated company that follows one basic philosophy, "Give the guests great entertainment at a great value.” The company also owns The Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre in Fort Myers, Florida.

Black Dog Promotions is a media and business development agency and also provides digital marketing and publicity consulting for regional and national brands. Black Dog’s team has a long history of success in the entertainment, sports, technology and finance industries. They have taken companies from concept to millions of dollars in sales and billions of dollars in market capitalization. Find out more at www.BlackDogPromotions.com.

Tickets to Menopause the Musical® go on sale on Saturday, October 5th and are available at the box office, by phone; 480-924-6260 or online at www.ThePalmsTheatre.com .

Tickets can be purchased as individual show tickets either with or without a full buffet dinner, in groups of 15 or more, or as part of a season subscription. A full bar is also available at the theatre.

The Palm's Theatre is located at 5247 E. Brown Road in Mesa, on the southeast corner of Brown and Higley Roads in the Alta Mesa Plaza.

Colorado HealthOP Officially Open for Business

Statewide Health Insurance CO-OP Launches Campaign to Help Coloradans Without Health Insurance Get Covered

Denver, CO, October 1, 2013 — Today, as healthcare marketplaces open across the country, Colorado HealthOP, one of 23 new health insurance cooperatives launching nationwide today as a result of the Affordable Care Act, announced it is now selling health insurance plans to Coloradans. Colorado HealthOP’s health insurance policies are available on Connect for Health Colorado, the state’s online health insurance exchange, and through a statewide network of brokers. Coverage becomes effective in 2014.

As part of its emergence on the health insurance market, Colorado HealthOP, Colorado’s only statewide consumer-operated and oriented health plan, launched an aggressive campaign today to help Coloradans without health insurance Get Covered. The campaign kicked off this morning with “exposed” models on Denver’s high traffic 16th Street Mall handing out “Get Covered” cards designed to awaken consumers to the need for health insurance and outline the steps to buy coverage.



“More than 1.5 million people in Colorado lack adequate health insurance, which leaves them exposed to health problems and high medical bills. As a CO-OP focused on improving health, it’s our mission to raise awareness and help all Coloradans get covered with quality, affordable health insurance,” said Julia Hutchins, CEO of Colorado HealthOP.

As a health insurance CO-OP, Colorado HealthOP is turning health insurance upside down:

1. Colorado HealthOP is governed by its members:
Colorado HealthOP does not have shareholders; instead members have a voice in how the company is run. Members elect and can serve on the board of directors. When the organization’s revenue is greater than costs, Colorado HealthOP members influence how the excess is used — by lowering premiums, adding benefits or making other improvements.

2. Colorado HealthOP’s plans reward healthy behaviors:
Colorado HealthOP protects its members when they’re sick or injured—but the CO-OP also helps members get and stay healthy. After enrolling in most Colorado HealthOP insurance plans, members can take simple preventive health actions to upgrade to an enhanced plan. In an enhanced plan, members will pay less out-of-pocket when they see a doctor, and receive money on a debit card they can use to pay for health expenses.

3. Colorado HealthOP offers members choices that can reduce costs:
Colorado HealthOP offers a range of plans so that individuals and families can make a choice that meets their financial and healthcare needs. The health insurance plan options include those that offer flexibility with a robust provider network, as well as tailored plans with more limited networks that people can purchase at a lower cost.

Colorado HealthOP members in some health insurance plans can also keep their healthcare costs lower by choosing from a list of preferred providers who are committed to improving quality and reducing cost.

“Coloradans have been waiting for a health insurance plan like ours, one that has their best interests at heart,” Hutchins said. “We are excited to have this opportunity to help more Coloradans get insured.”

How to Enroll
Coloradans can sign up for Colorado HealthOP health insurance by visiting Connect for Health Colorado’s website or calling Colorado HealthOP toll-free at 855-796-7676. The CO-OP’s local customer service representatives can help Coloradans enroll and answer questions about Colorado HealthOP plans. Local brokers can also help Coloradans find and enroll in plans.

Tax credits are available to people who qualify to help reduce the cost of their health insurance. Colorado HealthOP provides a free online health insurance tax credit calculator to help individuals determine if they may be eligible. For more information about Colorado HealthOP or to learn more about changes in healthcare, visit www.COHealthOP.org.

About Colorado HealthOP:
Colorado HealthOP offers a new alternative to traditional health insurance in Colorado. A nonprofit health insurance cooperative, Colorado HealthOP and its members are committed to providing affordable, quality coverage to individuals and employers interested in making a difference in their own health, their employees’ health and the health of their community. Colorado HealthOP aims to improve health outcomes by putting the responsibility for consumers’ care back into the hands of the cooperative’s members and providers. A private market solution tailored for individuals and employers, Colorado HealthOP will begin open enrollment in October 2013 via Connect for Health Colorado, Colorado’s health insurance marketplace, and through independent brokers and agents. Coverage will begin January 1, 2014. For more information about Colorado HealthOP, please visit www.COHealthOP.org or call 720.627.8900.

Jersey Mike’s Takes a Shine to Polished Concrete Floors

When Jersey Mike’s Subs on Jefferson Blvd. officially opened its doors to the public on August 28, the throng of hungry patrons may not have noticed that they were walking on the latest trend in restaurant flooring

Fort Wayne, Indiana, October 01, 2013 – When Jersey Mike’s Subs on Jefferson Blvd. officially opened its doors to the public on August 28, the throng of hungry patrons may not have noticed that they were walking on the latest trend in restaurant flooring – polished and colored concrete. The gleaming new floor is not only worthy of notice, it will also withstand all the foot traffic and food spills expected in the months to come from the influx of sub sandwich lovers.


“Polished concrete is becoming more widely used in restaurants, warehouse facilities, retail stores, grocers and a variety of other commercial facilities because of its durability, ease of maintenance and design options. Using concrete as the finished floor is also much more environmentally friendly because it makes use of an existing building material,” says Nick Dancer of Dancer Concrete Design, a Fort Wayne contractor specializing in stained and polished concrete and epoxy coatings.

Dancer Concrete Design was hired to completely transform the existing concrete floor in time for Jersey Mike’s grand opening. The floor was previously covered with carpeting and glued-down vinyl tile, all of which had to be stripped away to expose the bare concrete. Given only two days to complete the project, Dancer and his crew utilized the latest concrete polishing equipment and techniques to accomplish the makeover.

“We have purchased additional concrete polishers and vacuums and have brought on skilled craftsmen to handle an increase in demand for commercial concrete polishing. With the new equipment and our skilled team, we can polish floors ranging in size from 1,000 square feet all the way up to 100,000 square feet,” says Dancer.

Concrete polishing involves grinding the floor to a high-gloss finish using special floor polishers equipped with diamond-impregnated abrasive disks. To tackle the Jersey Mike’s project, Dancer’s crew used a heavy-duty 1,000-pound polishing machine, going over the floor in multiple passes to achieve an 1,800-grit finish. “This finish offers nice depth and clarity while also meeting OSHA and ADA standards for slip resistance,” says Dancer.

In addition to polishing the floor, the crew also applied a Sienna-colored dye to give it more warmth and treated it with a densifier to increase the surface hardness. To protect against food stains and make the floor easier to clean, they also applied a stain guard.

Open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., this busy Jersey Mike’s will certainly benefit from a flooring surface that’s trouble-free. “The floor can be cleaned with just warm water and an auto scrubber or microfiber pad. There is no waxing, stripping or refinishing that is often necessary with other commercial flooring,” says Dancer.

Nick Dancer is the owner of Dancer Concrete Design, a business he launched in 2007 to provide professional custom concrete work for both homes and businesses, including concrete countertops, stained and polished concrete flooring, and decorative epoxy overlays. He is also a member of the American Concrete Institute, serves as an expert consultant for Concrete DĂ©cor magazine, and has had his work profiled by ConcreteNetwork.com.

Cambodia’s First Premium Travel and Tour Operator Launches

A new joint venture between a Vietnamese and Cambodian partner has taken place to promote quality tourism in the Kingdom of Cambodia as Luxury Travel Ltd.

Hanoi, Vietnam, September 29, 2013 - A new joint venture between a Vietnamese and Cambodian partner has taken place to promote quality tourism in the Kingdom of Cambodia as Luxury Travel Ltd.

Teeming with history, marvelous architecture and awash in natural beauty, Cambodia is fast becoming a must see destination in Southeast Asia. And, although a lengthy period of internal strife and civil war curtailed travel to Cambodia for the better part of three decades, the establishment of peace has spurred a rise in tourism, which (accompanied by a hotel construction boom in Siem Reap, Phnom Penh and Sihanouk Ville) has made the area an exotic, high-end destination in the Mekong region.

“Our purpose is to build the first Cambodia-based premium luxury travel company which provides full travel service and develops luxury hotel stays, cruises and restaurant visits in the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Mekong sub region. Our team will be our clients’ personal experience guides and our mission will be to provide the world’s most authentic luxury travel experiences in Cambodia and the region.” Chea Win, co-founder and CEO of Asia Premium Travel Ltd.”

“We define premium travel as experiential. The beauty of our Cambodian high-end travel experience tours is the flavors of first-hand knowledge plus unique, sophisticated and excellent service handled by local travel experts. We focus on FIT, MICE and tailor made experiences for special interests”says Phan An, co-founder and DOSM of Asia Premium Travel.

“Each experience has been carefully designed to capture the crème de la crème, essence, culture or food of each region, allowing clients to really absorb the experience and engage in a cultural exchange, while flowing smoothly from place to place, and allowing time for relaxation and exploration at their own pace. Of course, any travel experience can be modified to suit their tastes, timeframe, budget, and special interests.”

Asia Pacific is the main force for Cambodian tourism, and Vietnam is a big market in particular, but the company will also aim to attract long haul travelers from Europe, America and Australia, who are seeking to explore Cambodia.
