Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) February 22, 2012

E-proDirect, a trusted expert in the meetings and convention segments of the hospitality industry, has partnered with Incite Response to create and launch InTouch, a direct mail product targeting meeting planners.

InTouch is a limited collection of destinations from throughout the nation, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean sent through postal mail to pre-qualified meeting planners. Because this booklet bundles properties, hotels and resorts are able to reach planners for less than the cost of postage, making postal mail a budget-friendly option. InTouch is being called retrolutionary for its new spin on an old idea.

Postal mail was once a top trend in marketing, but the rise of email shifted attention to the digital world. Marketers are now circling back to include direct mail as the hospitality industry is once again taking notice of postal mail and measuring its effectiveness.

Our clients who are revisiting direct mail find that the campaign investment is well worth the significant ROI, remarks Lori Metze of Incite Response. She further states, This is amplified when a postal piece is paired with email.

A perforated, high-quality four-color page (front and back) in the InTouch booklet is currently available for three U.S. regions: East, Central and West. Each region consists of approximately 15,000 vetted meeting planners. Space in each booklet is limited. Creative services such as design and original copy as well as tracking options are available. Booklets are printed using environmentally considerate practices. More information can be found online by visiting http://www.eprodirect.com/intouch/info.

E-proDirect was founded ten years ago by hospitality veterans who saw a need for a company that dealt solely with marketing to meeting planners. The companys philosophies center on creating trust and forming relationships with both meeting planners and hotels. As Chaunsea Keller of E-proDirect states, We are constantly creating new ways for hotels and meeting planners to meaningfully connect.

Incite Response is a hospitality industry leader in direct marketing communications. The company develops, manages and supports integrated direct marketing, social media, reputation management and other customer retention programs to allow companies to build relationships with their customers across multiple channels.

RALEIGH, NC (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

Customers, not available inventory, determine demand. Tompkins Internationals new paper, Demand-Driven Supply Chains: Getting It Right For True Value, shares strategies for companies to respond in real time and meet todays market and multi-channel challenges.

Its about a prompt response to true customer demand, says Gene Tyndall, EVP, Tompkins International and author of the paper. In the past, with outdated technologies and a reliance on consensus sales forecasts to determine supply and demand actions, supply chain managers often worried more about supply than demand. Now, demand-driven processes are turning the focus back toward the customer.

Demand-Driven Supply Chains (DDSCs) allow companies to formulate their operating strategies to meet actual demand as close to 100% as practical.

However, the necessity for real-time planning and execution requires innovative technologies and processes. Tompkins and One Network Enterprises a company that provides cloud-based technologies which operate on near real-time demand data throughout the entire supply chain have formed a partnership to equip clients with rapid implementation strategies and technologies in an on-demand environment.

Adopting demand-driven processes, along with training and enabling effective technologies, helps businesses achieve dramatically higher levels of performance.

In the new paper, Tyndall outlines a three-step process:

Since employees are using Social Goals on a daily basis, our Social Performance platform offers a market-first opportunity to display weekly metrics that help your organization increase employee engagement around your priorities in real-time.

Singapore Business Federation and Janus Corporate Solutions Hold Seminar for Representative Offices in Singapore

Posted on by
Reply


Singapore (PRWEB) February 18, 2012

To help chart the course for future corporate development in Singapore the Singapore Business Federation (SBF) in collaboration and Janus Corporate Solutions, hosted a seminar on Next Steps for Representative Offices at the SBF headquarters. The seminar was attended by top executives and senior managers of 26 foreign companies with Representative Offices in Singapore. The attendees came from a variety of industries including manufacturing, transport, logistics, and F&B. The event was part of SBFs and Januss collaborative efforts in positioning the country as an operational base for foreign companies that want to enter or expand in the South East Asian market.

Mr. Lauw Kok Keen, SBF Global-Asia Hub Dept. said that SBF is organising the RO Briefing as part of its role in helping and facilitating foreign companies to set up a base in Singapore in order to expand into the Asian region.

Subsequent to the welcome address, attendees were given a comprehensive presentation by the Janus Team headed by Ms. Jacqueline Low, Director of Janus Corporate Solutions. The presentation provided first-hand, relevant, practical, and actionable information about the benefits, ease and process of setting up a permanent establishment in Singapore. Participants were briefed on the process for establishing a permanent presence in the country by either setting up a Singapore subsidiary or a Singapore branch office. The seminar covered several relevant topics including comparison between the two options, their incorporation procedures, their respective tax benefits, compliance requirements, and the Singapore Employment Pass work visa scheme for the foreign staff.

Commenting on the timeliness of the seminar, Ms. Jacqueline Low said, With the ascendancy of Asia in the global economic order, Singapore has been gaining prominence as a destination to do business. This is the reason why many foreign companies have established a Representative Office here. Since a Singapore representative office is a temporary arrangement and can only exist for a maximum of three years, we wanted the existing representative offices to gain a good understanding about setting up a permanent establishment in Singapore as the next logical step. As an incorporation and compliance services firm, Janus is committed to helping businesses establish and grow their presence in Singapore and we are pleased to partner with SBF for this cause. We look forward to collaborating on more such events with professional bodies such as the SBF.

The seminar not only proved to be an invaluable platform where participants received strategic guidance on how they can leverage Singapores strengths as a business destination but also helped them engage in an active dialogue with Janus professionals to gain clarity about setting up a permanent establishment in Singapore. The event was very well received by the attendees who engaged in a lively Q&A session at the conclusion of the seminar.

New York CPR Expert Stephanie Duehring Appears on Inside Edition

Posted on by
Reply

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 18, 2012

New York CPR expert Stephanie Duehring, who is the national training manager and owner of EMC CPR & Safety Training, LLC, made an appearance on Inside Edition on February 13 to show what would have been done to revive singer Whitney Houston. Houston was found dead in a hotel bathtub with her face under water a couple days prior. There has been much speculation as to whether Houston drowned or was already dead from a prescription drug overdose. Houstons bodyguard was the first to administer CPR, but by that time, it was too late and nothing could be done to resuscitate her.

CPR involves creating artificial circulation by manually pumping blood through the heart using chest compressions. In addition, the rescuer may perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Duehring, who offers New York CPR, AED, First Aid, and OSHA classes, explained to Inside Edition host Megan Alexander that in such an emergency, you would first need to move the victim to a hard, flat surface. She further described that you would place the victim on her back on the floor and start chest compressions in an attempt to get her breathing again. Duehring depicted the process of tilting the head back, pinching the nose shut, and giving one breath and then a second breath. A universal compression-to-ventilation ratio of 30:2 is recommended for adults.

The unfortunate passing of Whitney Houston brings to light the ever-present need to be prepared to respond in a medical emergency. Learning how to perform CPR is the first and most vital step one can take to give the best chance to an unconscious victim who could be suffering from cardiac arrest, said Duehring.

In Houstons case, the CPR came moments too late, but knowing how to perform life-saving techniques like CPR can mean the difference between life and death in other emergency situations. While deeply saddened by Houstons death, Duehring hopes that viewers of Inside Edition and others whove followed news of the tragedy have come to realize the importance of obtaining emergency medical training.

About EMC CPR & Safety Training, LLC

EMC CPR & Safety Training, LLC offers CPR, AED, First Aid, OSHA, and other safety classes through the American Heart Association, ECSI, National Safety Council, and ASHI. In addition, the company provides emergency care, infection control, and compliance training to dental and medical offices through HealthFirst and Banyan International, respectively.
