New Book Chronicles Homegrown Charity Program











Monroe, NC (PRWEB) December 02, 2011

The current Occupy phenomenon sweeping the nation is based on the reallocation of wealth to help benefit those who might not have enough. Kathy M. Pennigar’s new book “Twelve Weeks of Giving” (published by WestBow Press) is about a business whose office staff went out into the community and blessed other people through giving.

“Twelve Weeks of Giving” was inspired by the sermon of an evangelist from Life Action Ministries, who spoke during revival services. In his message he stated, “God passes by the self-sufficient,” and that “…we must be willing to give today out of abundance to supply the needs of others, believing that tomorrow, if we have a need, God will use the abundance of others to meet our needs.”

Each week a name was drawn, and that person was given money to bless others. There were 12 people with 12 ideas and spheres of influence. Throughout this project, the participants were amazed at how resourceful the other participants were with the money they were given.

“Twelve Weeks of Giving” was written to inspire other businesses and individuals to go out into their communities and help those who are less fortunate. Church groups, businesses and individuals can use the examples shared to start their own giving projects.

“We must be willing to give today out of abundance,” Pennigar writes, “to supply the needs of others believing that tomorrow if we have a need, God will use the abundance of others to meet our needs.”

Red Nova Labs Continues to Create Jobs, Expands Marketing Department

Posted by on October 30, 2011 1 comment

Red Nova Labs Continues to Create Jobs, Expands Marketing Department











Westwood, KS (PRWEB) October 28, 2011

As a self-funded startup, Red Nova Labs currently relies 100 percent on revenue for team growth. Thanks to recent success, the company has increased the size of its marketing department to 12, a staff that consisted of just two people in early 2010.

Recent hires include Marketing Director Matt Oberender, Content Writer Nadine Anheier, and Social Media Specialist Drew Hendricks. All three will strengthen the department of an organization that was working short-handed for a long time.

“When Red Nova Labs started out, we were particularly strained,” CMO Carrie Royce said. “Since day one we’ve been rapidly experimenting and shopping ideas in the market, but we’ve been doing it with just a few marketing heads. Finally we have the rounded team in place that can support our itchy-pants business strategy.”

Red Nova Labs first made it to profitability with marketing platforms for the self storage industry. Its flagship product, StorageFront.com, now provides web visibility to more than 4,000 storage facilities nationwide. Follow-up products like WebWorks for Self Storage, which launched earlier this year, have fueled the company’s expansion.

“It was a lot of hard work for our small crew to get us this far,” Royce said. “But thanks to their determination, we’ve been able to hire more ass-kickers and round out our skillset. Now we’re better equipped to diversify and to execute fast. If our latest business venture — Red Nova Labs Games — is any indication, great things are going to happen here with this team.”

Mystery Ball is the first game from the newly-hatched Red Nova Labs Games division, and the first promotional task Royce gave her new team. The iOS game will be released on the Apple App Store on Nov. 3. Since it is the first game Red Nova Labs has released, the challenge was sizeable: establish credibility in the gaming industry and spark a buzz.

In about a month, Mystery Ball has been featured on several top gaming websites, including Gameranx.com and Gamersmint.com; the two trailers the marketing team produced have more than 1,800 views; the game has been mentioned in more than 1,500 tweets on Twitter, and Mystery Ball has 127 fans on Facebook.

“With Mystery Ball, we had a really fun product to promote. Naturally it was more exciting to marketing employees than self storage or home mortgages, and everyone wanted to work on it,” Royce said. “Still, when you throw anything at a group of marketing people who have not worked together before and have not been exposed to that market before, you don’t know what you’re going to get. I’m super pumped by how quickly the new team moved and how focused they’ve been on measurable results. Marketing is money, man.”

Leading the Mystery Ball team has been the responsibility of Oberender. Working for a startup is a new experience for the marketing director, as he has spent his career in restaurant marketing for large clients such as Pizza Hut and Mr. Goodcents. He decided he was ready for a new challenge and that brought him to Red Nova Labs.

Royce plans to use Oberender’s expertise to help broaden the reach of Red Nova Labs’ newest business unit, BuzzMeDo, a mobile-based platform out this month that helps businesses communicate with local customers.

“Matt’s experience navigating corporate structure was something we were largely lacking among the marketing team,” Royce said. “He has already brought some rationality to our startup muster, and his straight-shooter approach helps bridge Marketing and Sales — a challenge in any organization. That said, I’d say the ready-shoot-aim nature of our business model has been something of a jolt to Matt. It’s a good, fresh perspective for him.”

Red Nova Labs was also undermanned in the content department — content is key in web marketing. The company takes great pride in its original web content and the ability to come up with truthful and entertaining messaging. Anheier impressed Royce and Editor C.J. Moore with a blog rant she had written about grammar, which was sidesplitting. She beat out nearly 100 applicants and several shining stars for the Content Writer position. She has spent the last seven years as a puzzle Editor at UClick, a segment of Andrews McMeel Universal.

“Nadine’s voice fits here,” Moore said. “She’s witty, her copy is concise and clean, and she works quickly. I interviewed a lot of great people and not once have I questioned the decision to go with Nadine.”

Once Anheier was on board, Royce wanted to bring on someone who understood organic web visibility. Hendricks was the perfect candidate to promote Red Nova Labs’ multiple platforms in the social network realm.

“Drew’s ability to promote through social media and his underground knowledge of various channels makes him a hugely valuable contributor to a web marketing think-tank,” Royce said. “Originally I was looking for a ‘suit’ — someone who could work a room like the PR managers in ‘the olden days’ — but Drew quickly convinced me that social is something else that requires hybrid gen of PR and technical web. His guerrilla approach to social is savvy and scalable. His mind holds a virtual rolodex of valuable contacts in the social media world, and it’s clear that he knows how to develop trust and meaningful relationships with those contacts. He impresses me.”

Royce said that the company would like to continue to grow, but now that the marketing department is well staffed, Red Nova Labs’ next goal is to expand the engineering department. The company’s immediate need is for front-end UI developers, but it is always on the lookout for great back-end programmers as well.

About Red Nova Labs

Red Nova Labs was founded and self-funded in 2009 as a web development and marketing agency as well as a technology think-tank, creating original, cutting-edge systems for web and mobile. On the service side, the company supports interface design, backend programming and online marketing. On the product side Red Nova Labs invents, builds and launches its own web-based platforms for various applications and vertical markets. To support both business models, its growing team of development engineers conceives resourceful code generators which add practical ease to complex programming—enabling unprecedented speed in creating vibrant, multidimensional environments and utilities. Once a product is launched, each business operates autonomously as an independent unit, with full engineering and marketing support from Red Nova Labs on the back end. The company is open to collaborative opportunities.

Irving TX has a New Self Defense Products Distributor Carrying Name Brand Stun Guns, Pepper Sprays, TASER Electronic Devices and Surveillance Systems











This could save your life!


Irving, TX (PRWEB) September 11, 2011

The online world of self defense products is immense. There are hundreds of companies selling self defense products and there are many different types of products to choose from such as; Personal Alarms, TASERS, MACE, Pepper Spray, Stun Guns, Animal Repellents, Safety Lights, Knives, Metal Detectors, Diversion Safes, Child Safety Products, Instructional Fighting DVD’s and much more.

ACS Personal Security handles all of these products and hundreds more. Whether it is something to be used as protection while walking alone at night or to be purchased for a gift,stun guns, pepper spray or TASER products are very much in demand.

ACS will happily answer any questions about a specific product and will give detailed instructions on how to use any of the products they carry.

ACS Personal Security has several of their self defense products available in their office, however, the bulk of the product line is only available on the company website.

There are products like personal alarms, pepper spray, stun guns, and expandable batons for personal protection and can be purchased as separate items or in pre-packaged kits with several different products.

Additionally, ACS carries a full line of surveillance equipment such as hidden cameras, nanny cameras, stand alone DVR’s, dome cameras, bullet cameras, and complete surveillance systems.

Do you really need to bring a pepper spray or stun gun everywhere you go? Probably not, but then again, you can’t predict when you will actually need a self defense tool. ACS owner, Jay Kreps, states, “remember, it’s not IF, but WHEN, a stun gun or pepper spray will help you break free from an attacker”.

Keep in mind, rape, kidnappings, and assaults occur hundreds of times a day – every day, which is especially true if you are a young woman, an elderly person, or a child. There are child kidnappings, rapes and assaults on women of every age, and the perpetrators are just waiting to take advantage of you.

At ACS Personal Security there are many different and unique items, like an expandable stun baton, lipstick pepper spray, or different kinds of everyday items like a door stop alarm or flashlight stun gun. ACS has a 90 day return policy and a warranty for each product carried as well as among the lowest pricing in the industry.

Stun Master Stun Guns are featured at ACS Personal Security as are several TASER products. Females especially like the many different types of pepper spray that is carried such as the LIPSTICK look alike pepper spray, and the CELL PHONE look alike stun gun!

About Advanced Commercial Solutions:

ACS started as a background fingerprinting – notary and drug screening company. While they took appointments in their centrally located office in Irving, TX, they specialized in offering mobile service to people who just didn’t have the time to come in to the office for these services. ACS Fingerprinting developed a large corporate client base and continues to serve the general public in the Dallas – Ft Worth Metro area.

Company owner Jay Kreps, kept looking for another business that would complement the existing fingerprinting, notary, and drug screening services and decided self defense products would be a good match and would be able to co-exist in the same office in Irving.

He researched and found a company that would supply him with name brand self defense products and surveillance equipment, had his websites built, and started his new business selling self defense items. Because of his 25 plus years in law enforcement, he knew the need for safe, quality made self defense products and surveillance products were much needed and in demand by the general public.

Benefit White Paper Explores Plan Differences

Posted by on July 31, 2011 1 comment

Benefit White Paper Explores Plan Differences











Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 10, 2006

Grizzaffi Darby, one of the largest benefits providers in Texas, recently released a white paper entitled “Self-Funding Plans: The devil is in the details.” This white paper offers HR professionals and CFOs the information they need to accurately evaluate self-funded, fully funded, self-insured and fully insured benefit plans to make the best choice for the company.

The number of employees covered by self-funded plans has increased since 1999, and firms with more than 5,000 workers are the most likely to utilize this type of coverage. In 2005, 82 percent of workers in these large firms were covered by partially or completely self-funded plans, compared to 13 percent of workers in firms with less than 200 employees in that same year. Grizzaffi Darby, LLC President Trey Darby points out that this discrepancy may be caused by a fear of self-funding in mid-sized and small firms.

“Most companies take one of two paths [to self-funding]: they plunge in and spend too much time and money dealing with the negative repercussions of their decision or completely avoid self-funding because of fear,” Darby said. “Education can help professionals make the best decision for their company.”

In “Self-Funding Plans: The devil is in the details,” Grizzaffi Darby explores the intricacies of programs that are available to CFOs seeking to reduce benefits costs by choosing the appropriate funding option for their company. More specifically, the paper includes:

    The differences between self-funded, partially self-funded, fully insured and self-insured plans

    Pitfalls of each type of plan

    Cost savings suggestions

The findings in the white paper are supported by industry research and the experience of Darby and his team. This white paper is one of several that Grizzaffi Darby is releasing to assist CFOs choosing benefit plans for 2007.

“Too often, as a benefits consultant, we hear about self-funding plans gone wrong,” Darby said. “When digging into exactly what happened, we often find that the client, if given proper advice and options would have chosen to self-fund the plan—but use different vendors or contracts. Unfortunately, most of these horror stories could have been avoided with proper information.”

Grizzaffi Darby is one of the largest benefit consultant teams in Texas. Our strong carrier relationships and more than three decades of experience mean benefit at a lower cost for your company.

SpareFoot Partners with SelfStorageFinders to Create Largest Advertising Network in Self-Storage

SpareFoot Partners with SelfStorageFinders to Create Largest Advertising Network in Self-Storage











With the addition of leading self-storage site SelfStorageFinders.com to its network, SpareFoot now operates the industry’s largest advertising platform.


Austin, TX (PRWEB) May 10, 2011

SpareFoot, the online self-storage marketplace and industry solution provider, announced it now boasts the largest advertising network in the industry—larger than all of its competitors’ combined (Compete.com, March 2011). This benchmark follows SpareFoot’s recent agreement to power SelfStorageFinders.com.

The partnership with SelfStorageFinders.com was finalized earlier this month, effecting a major change in the way the site serves both facilities and consumers. It previously utilized a subscription model, whereby self-storage facilities paid monthly for listings without any guarantee of performance. On the SpareFoot Network, there are no monthly fees, and listed facilities only pay when a new tenant moves in—guaranteeing ROI.

SelfStorageFinders.com will benefit from an improved user experience to drive more transactions, and a much larger database of storage facilities. The overhead spent on managing facility advertising subscriptions will also be eliminated, simplifying their business overall.

“As key players in this milestone for SpareFoot, we’re excited to be a part of what is now the largest online marketplace for self-storage,” said Matt Price, owner of SelfStorageFinders.com. “Through this partnership, we will generate even more exposure for our listed storage facilities. Meanwhile, it’s easier than ever for our consumer visitors to find and compare all of the best storage options in one convenient place online.”

SelfStorageFinders.com joins SpareFoot’s rapidly growing list of partners, which already includes leading sites like SelfStorage.com, Apartments.com and uShip.com. Sites in the SpareFoot Network enjoy more web traffic than all other independent storage directory and listing sites combined. The three-year-old company, led by CEO Chuck Gordon, is committed to developing a diverse suite of products that offer the most straightforward, effective online marketing solutions for self-storage operators.

“This milestone is incredibly exciting, and we’re eager to take our ideas and products even further in the self-storage industry,” Gordon said. “As self-storage consumers increasingly turn to the web to research their options, our goal is to help make their search for storage as simple as possible. And in doing so, we can help storage facilities improve their online visibility and generate more tenants through smart online marketing.”

About SpareFoot:

SpareFoot is the leading online marketplace for self-storage. With more than 5,000 self-storage facilities listed nationwide, SpareFoot offers consumers the most complete comparison shopping experience in the storage industry. Across multiple properties including SpareFoot.com, SelfStorage.com, Apartments.com and many others, SpareFoot helps storage facility operators find new tenants—all through an entirely pay-for-performance model. SpareFoot is backed by Silverton Partners, FLOODGATE and Capital Factory. For more information, please visit http://www.sparefoot.com.

About Self Storage Finders:

SelfStorageFinders.com is committed to aiding customers in finding self-storage quickly and easily. The site provides location and contact information for facilities nationwide. Prospective tenants can search through listings on the site to find the best storage solution for their needs. The company offers unique opportunities to storage owners in addition to prospective renters. SelfStorageFinders.com generates exposure for its facility clients by offering premier visibility on major search engines. For more information, please visit http://www.selfstoragefinders.com.

Each blog is chocked full of helpful tips and information designed to make the moving process faster and easier with fewer headaches.

Most of us have questions when moving about truck or self storage unit rental. People need items like boxes and bubble wrap. At Sparky’s Self Storage, they provide everything their customers might require in order to make their move go smoother. Sparky’s offers special box sizes for paintings and other items that are irregularly shaped. They also sell boxes especially designed for dishes. This makes packing dishes easy and helps prevent breakage.

Sparky’s Self Storage has five convenient locations in the southern California area. They offer Hesperia self storage, Highland, CA self storage, Thousand Palms self storage and Rialto, CA self storage and they are growing all the time. They also offer U-Haul truck and trailer rental at each location.

Their new blog is designed to highlight various components of moving and storing items. They will take their many years of experience in this industry and put it to use by helping residents make good choices about things like which U-Haul trailer to rent and how to best store stoves and refrigerators. These tips will save their customers time and money and help them avoid the heartbreak of losing a cherished family heirloom simply because it was packed wrong.

Each Sparky’s Self Storage location has an on-site manager. These are trained professionals who pride themselves in giving the best customer service around. They offer self storage units in many sizes and locations at each facility. The Rialto, self storage location also offers climate controlled storage units to protect belongings from extreme weather conditions.

Family and Friends of Depressed Individuals Now Have Free Confidential Online Support

Posted by on July 31, 2011 1 comment

Family and Friends of Depressed Individuals Now Have Free Confidential Online Support










Northborough, MA (PRWEB) June 7, 2006

MySelfHelp.com, the world’s leading provider of online, interactive self-help programs and tools, has introduced Caring for Your Depressed Love One, a free and confidential online program available 24 hours a day for family and friends who want to learn more, obtain support, and help someone who is suffering from depression.

“Those who love and care about someone who is depressed feel helpless, frightened, frustrated, and alone,” said Dr. Richard Bedrosian, president of MySelfHelp.com and the leading expert on online self-help resources. “We wanted to create a program that would educate them about depression and provide them with the help and support they need — both for their loved ones, and for themselves.”

Too Few Resources for Families

According to Dr. Bedrosian, caregivers often feel isolated and confused about how to help, and may experience a range of painful emotions, including fear, anxiety, sadness, frustration, guilt, or anger. Many are unable to get the appropriate support, or are uncomfortable talking with others about their loved one’s depression. “Our programs teach them how to help themselves, as well as what to do to help their loved one — and what not to do.”

Overcoming Barriers of Fear and Stigma

“We hear from frustrated spouses, frightened parents, and concerned friends who don’t know how to react or how to help,” said Dr. Bedrosian. “We also hear from military personnel in combat overseas who are worried about fellow soldiers, as well as spouses and family of high-profile individuals who are afraid to reveal their problems or obtain appropriate help. They are able to receive the same type of confidential, online help that is offered through our other interactive recovery programs.”

Caring for Loved Ones is part of the MySelfHelp.com family of 12 programs for individuals suffering from depression, stress, insomnia, eating disorders, and a range of other mental health problems. The programs were developed in part through grants from the National Institute of Mental Health, and are designed to complement and reinforce treatment.

As the world’s premier site for online self-help resources and tools, MySelfHelp.com consists of a growing family of highly interactive, easy-to-use programs featuring user-customizable exercises and resources designed to speed recovery and promote well being. MySelfHelp.com programs are currently being recommended by healthcare professionals and used by healthcare organizations and individuals in 48 countries throughout the world.

The MySelfHelp.com growing family of programs also includes Defeating Depression, Stress Management, Conquer Insomnia, Stop Binge Eating, Take Control of Bulimia, Coping with Grief, Working on Low Self-Esteem, Help for Compulsive Shopping, Overcoming Guilt, Caring for Your Loved One (eating disorders) and Hope for HIV and Depression. A moderated Discussion Board provides added support and allows members to connect and share ideas and support with others who are experiencing similar problems. Recent research on depression, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and insomnia indicates that use of MySelfHelp.com programs results in significant improvements.

MySelfHelp.com is staffed by a team of highly experienced and reputable health care professionals who are devoted to helping people improve the quality of their lives.

Achieving New Year?s Success with Self-Talk Audio Book

Posted by on July 31, 2011 1 comment

Achieving New Year’s Success with Self-Talk Audio Book











(PRWEB) November 29, 2005 –

With more than half of Americans abandoning their New Year’s resolutions, success hinges on a new self-talk audio book entitled “Design Your Life: Using Self-Talk to Create Your Life One Day at a Time,” by Michael J. Russ available at Amazon.com.

According to a University of Scranton survey, 40 to 45 percent of American adults make one or more resolutions each year, however, only 36 percent maintained their resolution(s) after six months.

“Americans simply talk themselves right out of their resolutions,” said Michael Russ, president of Powerful Living International, LLC. “At the beginning of the year you are full of optimism, excitement and hope. The thoughts and words you use to describe your resolutions are enthusiastic and positive. Then as days and months progress, enthusiasm fades and you find yourself referring to your goals with doubtful and apologetic self-talk.”

To help people maintain the attitude, drive and motivation necessary to successfully accomplish goals, Russ has produced a new audio book outlining how to align self-talk with goals.

Self-talk is what people think and say about themselves, both in their head and in conversations with others. The experiences and success people have in their lives are directly influenced by self-talk. Russ says self-defeating thoughts should be replaced by supportive thoughts.

“Self-talk is the most incredible force you have for creating the life you envision. When you use it to support you in every moment, life doesn’t seem so difficult. This is the power of self-talk,” said Russ.

About the Author (http://www.powerfulliving.org)

Michael J. Russ, president and founder of Powerful Living International, LLC, is an empowering speaker who has authored several audio books providing mental tools for effective selling, playing better golf, managing energy and improving self-talk. His newest audio book: “Design Your Life: Using Self-Talk to Create Your Life One Day at a Time,” is geared towards young adults and outlines a five step process for using positive self-talk to build inner strength, improve self-image and work through adversity to achieve success.

For additional information about Russ, his audio books or to set up interviews, please call 850-866-6965.
