Free Business Directory from MoveThatBlock.com Allows Business Owners to Create a Presence on the Internet

Albany, NY (PRWEB) November 09, 2011

MoveThatBlock.com, The Free Social Marketplace, launches a new division of their site called Business Directory. This adds another dimension to the sites already diversified classifieds sections. Other sections available on the site to search for free include residential real estate, commercial real estate, apartments and rentals, vacation rentals, cars and vehicles, dating and jobs. The business directory allows both small and large companies to make a presence on the Internet.

The recession has certainly had it's toll on most of America and American business owners. Companies have been forced to make difficult decisions based on cutting back on budgets, employees are forced to work under massive amounts of stress and managers are expected to come up with new and inventive ways to expand their business. This does not seem like an easy task by any means but many businesses have been able to overcome and thrive under these circumstances. Frank Gazella Jr. shares his story about creating his pierogies business in Kansas City and how he was able to tap into various markets at such a fast rate. "We have used both traditional and innovative ways of marketing our product. The old fashioned yet reliable word-of-mouth has launched us into the next phase yet the Internet has also played a big role. We have been able to tap into different industries without even leaving our hometown. My best advice is to utilize social medias along with getting on as many webpages as you can, this helps to facilitate cross traffic and really helps in better exposure" Frank Gazella Jr.

Frank Gazella Jr., president and owner of Pieroguys, found a natural need for such a delicious entree in his hometown of Kansas City and has been successful in using the Internet to expand his company. His mission, like many business owners, is to feed the world with his passion. Pieroguys creates and distributes homemade organic pierogies across the country and has the best shipping rate in comparison to their competitors. So how does a local entrepreneur spread the word of his company so fast? "The Internet has allowed my company to grow rapidly. I have been able to fill orders across the country and use the Internet to facilitate more exposure for Pieroguys. With a small staff, it isn't easy to get the word out there but by the use of the Internet we have been able to make connections on a much broader spectrum," Frank Gazella Jr, owner and president of Pieroguys. Frank recently made a decision to put his business page up on MoveThatBlock.com, a local Albany based classifieds site which just released their business review and rating site. This smart and easy decision is one that many business owners are also starting to utilize due to the fact that it is entirely free and allows business owners to put their information out on the Internet for consumers to view.

Something can be learned by Frank's innovativeness and ability to see in the future of where the Internet is moving towards. After recently putting up a business page on a local site called MoveThatBlock.com, Frank has been able to utilize this site to create a stronger online presence as well as for customer service. How did a two man powered company find out about a business look-up ratings and review site all the way in Albany? "I am always looking for business reviews and ratings to put my site up on because they help me with customer feedback. I found MoveThatBlock.com in a simple Google search that came up when I was looking for business reviews. Albany has been known as an incubator for niche markets, so I thought it would be the perfect market to target. Being a business owner, time management is the most important tool for me and putting my business page up on MoveThatBlock.com was the best five minutes I have ever spent," Gazella.

MoveThatBlock.com started only a year ago and already has 1.2million registered users on their site. What originally started as a commercial real estate free listings site turned into something much more! MoveThatBlock.com has now added cars, dating, jobs and a business review/rating feature to their site. With the addition of their business review and rating system, MoveThatBlock adds another dimension to the sites already diversified classifieds sections. This new dimension of their site allows business owners like Frank Gazella and his partner Andrew to conduct business in other states as well as receiving customer feedback without have to pay any sort of cost. "We ship orders all over the country now so it is nearly impossible to keep up with all of the customer service. MoveThatBlock.com allows customers to rate and review our business so even if I was on vacation, which I tend to travel a lot, I am notified of any orders that went out successful or not successful just by a simple comment on their site. Instead of having to pay for a focus group, for free I put up my business page on MoveThatBlock.com and received instant feedback," Gazella. This new feature also allows other businesses to look up neighboring businesses in the area. Anyone can create their business profile and it is easy to maintain, allowing even mom and pop shops to create a presence on the Internet.

MoveThatBlock.com also allows anything from mom and pop shops to multinational companies to create a distinction of their businesses online. "Most business pages such as the ones on Facebook only allow a company to create one page but for most businesses this is not the case. Best Buy has stores all over the country but only one Facebook page. MoveThatBlock.com allows consumers to create more than one page based on location. This helps streamline the customer service process and also attracted me more to the site in case I ever do decide to expand regions," Gazella. MoveThatBlock.com is a local start-up company and therefore understand the needs of other small company business owners while at the same time understand the objectives of national companies looking to create a strong online presence. MoveThatBlock.com is beneficial for both parties and is able to work them in whatever they need, including even creating their business site for them!

It is a tough economy out there, business owners are constantly learning more innovative and cutting-edge ways to increase their sales, traffic and customer satisfaction without breaking their budget. The presence of the Internet has transformed the way people do business and has allowed many business owners to stay connected to their customers all the way across the country. Maintaining social medias can be a grueling task for many business owners who barely have time in their busy schedules. Sites such as MoveThatBlock.com allow these busy business owners to create a page easy and simple without taking a lot of time out of their day. "Time management is by far the most important thing to me as a business owner, so I have to choose wisely about what I invest my time in based on the return Ill get from it. Setting my business page up on MoveThatBlock took a negligible amount of time, maybe five minutes, but has generated results and continues to do so. I also use MoveThatBlock.com to look up other businesses in the area, anything from lawyers and doctors to pizza shops and bars, theyve got it all covered. It is a great resource and I really think that the Capital Region has been waiting for one-stop site like this," Chris Wessell, owner at Pinnacle Recruiting & HR Solutions, Albany NY.

Vacation Rental Owners Profit from Successful Internet Advertising

Miami, FL (Vocus) February 7, 2010

Its no big secret that the travel industry has felt the pinch of a weak economy. The housing bubble and unemployment are just some of the factors that have made the vacation rental industry almost a ground zero of this economic downturn with many owners and investors loosing their second homes all over the world. Despite these economic troubles, Rentalo.com; a leading vacation rental advertising company; has managed to help many property owners achieve success via effective internet advertising.

The quality of service my company has experienced and the ease of use that Rentalo's web site offers property managers is second to none. With out the exposure that my beach house gets from listing with Rentalo I would have had little hope of making it through the difficult down turn in the economy. Thank you to every one at Rentalo for helping my company thrives in a challenging economy. Morrision H. Gross, Owner/manager of an oceanfront vacation home in Lincoln City, Oregon.

I have been using Rentalo for 4 years and most recently, during tough economic times, Rentalo has exceeded my expectations in 3 important ways: 1. A referral from Rentalo resulted in a client couple renting a vacation villa for 4 months; they loved our resort and visited countless waterfalls, hiked the Highlands and themselves referred 8 more guests to Cabot Shores. 2. Rentalo's search engine promotion got Cabot Shores in December to the top of AOL travel recommendations 3. A number of prospects/guests saw our lobster fishing video as a result of Rentalo promotion and booked adventure packages with us and extended their stay at Cabot Shores. My business results are up 40% during a recession. I give Rentalo thanks for helping our business excel during what are otherwise tough times. Dr. Paul Weinberg, owner and operator of Cabot Shores Wilderness Resort in Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada.

The vacation rental niche is travel industrys best kept secret, says Alfredo Purrinos, President and founder of Rentalo.com a growing awareness of this market is increasing, and wise vacation rental property owners should be prepared to fully capitalize on this opportunity.

Here are some basic but essential things that every vacation property owner should keep in mind when advertising online:

1. Make sure all your property information is up to date. Review the text on all your internet ads and make sure it is free of grammatical errors and inconsistencies. Edit any information that has changed or remove what does not apply anymore. Make sure your prices are current and are competitive within your market segment and that your calendar has the correct booked dates crossed out. When writing the description of your property, make sure you include relevant keywords to your vacation rental. For example, if you have a vacation rental in Orlando, think about what keywords a traveler would type on a search engine to find vacation rentals in Orlando in Florida. Include those phrases as naturally as you can in the body of your vacation rental ad. Take advantage of sites that allow unlimited text, but dont over do it, nobody likes to read a dissertation.

2. Update your Photos. A picture has a better chance of enticing a potential guest than a nicely written sentence does. Photos sell, and this is your chance to show off your vacation rental to the world. Make sure that you have high resolution photos of your property. If you can afford a professional photographer to do it, it is highly recommended. Whatever you do, make sure you dont upload scanned or low resolution images. Look for vacation rental advertising sites like Rentalo.com that allow owners to upload unlimited high resolution photos and even give you a slideshow feature to show them off.

3. Be creative. Vacation rental property owners should think of creative ways to make their property stand out. Special Offers are a great way to accomplish this. Run a special on weeks that are usually slow, that will get people to look at your property and maybe inquire on dates that are not in special. Offer amenities that other owners in your area do not offer. Extend a discount to repeat customers or first time guests. Some vacation rental directories allow owners to broadcast their specials or post them on their ad.

4. Be ready to answer your leads. Technology can be your greatest ally when it comes to answering your leads in a professional and timely fashion. Owners should not let their leads sit for hours before they are answered, inquiries from potential travelers should be answered immediately. Make sure you have all your gadgets configured to get your e-mails wherever you are. Rentalo.com offers a unique tool that allows you to quote offers to travelers 24/7 without you having to do it manually. No matter how you make it happen, make sure you are answering leads as fast as possible.

5. Cast a wider net. Consider investing on other vacation rental directory websites. According to Alfredo Purrinos Vacation Rental Directories Marketing Study, most travelers use the main vacation rental directories to find lodging. Vacation rental business owners should consider advertising on as many of the top directories as budget allows. The cost to advertise on the top vacation rental directories is roughly $ 1,000 per year, which represents approximately a 5% advertising budget, based on a yearly vacation rental business income of $ 20,000 (e.g. a typical yearly rental income for an individual vacation property).

So lets get ready for a new chapter in the travel and vacation rental industry, and may the best vacation rentals get booked!

About Rentalo.com

Rentalo.com is a leading online travel lodging website that offers comparison shopping on vacation rentals and hotels.

Australian Mining Services Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) November 21, 2011

This Australian Mining industry is expected to continue to perform strongly over the next five years, according to a new report IBISWorld, the nations largest publisher of industry research. Firming global growth will underpin rising demand for a range of minerals, providing the basis for growth in mining services. Particularly strong growth in iron ore production is anticipated, reflecting ongoing demand from the Chinese market and fuelling demand for contract mining in Western Australia. On the eastern seaboard of Australia, contract-mining activity will be fuelled by an expansion in coal output capacity in both Queensland and New South Wales, as well as by growth in coal seam methane production. In contrast, some other areas of metallic mineral mining and non-metallic mineral mining are expected to expand more slowly.

The Australian Mining Services industry's main activity is contract mining, which makes its performance highly dependent on trends in mining activity. Rising demand and high prices for minerals led to a mining boom over the past five years, thus increasing demand for mining services. Industry revenue is expected to grow an average rate of 6.8% per year over the five years through 2011-12. Revenue is expected to total about $ 9.79 billion in 2011-12, up 12% from the previous year. Flooding in the major coal-mining areas of Queensland in early 2011 reduced mining activity in the second half of 2010-11, but industry revenue still expanded 8.3%.

The conditions faced by firms in the Mining Services industry are expected to improve over the next five years, as world growth firms and demand for minerals revives. However, competition for work will be intense. Industry revenue is anticipated to average annual growth of 9% over the next five years to total $ 15.1 billion in 2016-17.

According to IBISWorld analyst, Kate Convey, firms in the Mining Services industry will face cost rises due the implementation of carbon pricing from 1 July 2012, when the Federal Government introduces a tax on greenhouse gas emissions, but will pass on this cost to their customers. The starting rate of the tax will be $ 23 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-e) emitted. The price of carbon permits will increase by 2.5% over the following two years, before a market-based emissions trading scheme commences on 1 July 2015. Under the carbon pricing arrangements, the industry will pay an effective carbon price on transport fuels used in mining operations. The government plans to impose the carbon tax on this type of fuel use by reducing the fuel tax credit currently available.

Waze Introduces Redesigned App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch, Steering Drivers from Local Search to Local Discovery

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) October 13, 2011

Waze is happy to announce a major update to its app for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch that champions local discovery by offering an end-to-end social experience of searching, navigating and checking-in to destinations. The update includes support for the new Twitter integration in iOS 5.

The new Waze App now operates the only map stack that reflects real-time information and community-curated points of interest, such as street fairs, protests and other local events on the social location stack.

Traditional GPS systems are built on static, old world maps and points of interest, which never reflect real-time information about new businesses, pop-up shops, or live local events. The new social eco-system provides consumer-generated data from people driving, checking in, and reviewing locations in real-time. This layer of social location information is now available to drivers in a navigation setting.

With Waze's new Twitter integration, users can seamlessly tweet their location, destination and estimated time of arrival, as well as real-time information about traffic conditions, on-going events and weather.

In addition, a new display of traffic and events en route helps drivers make the smartest travel choices before they leave. The guidance system has also been amplified with large fonts and complete text-to-speech capabilities for optimized hands-free navigation -- plus the new aesthetic gives the app a little more swagger and style.

The Waze GPS & traffic app is available for free from the App Store on iPad, iPhone or iPod touch or at http://m.waze.com

New Service From Doxim Helps Credit Unions Streamline and Enhance Year End Tax Form Processes

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) June 14, 2011

Provides Members With Convenient Online Access To Tax Documents While Reducing Mailing Costs

News Facts

Doxim Inc., (http://www.doxim.com), North Americas leading provider of web-based e-statement, enhanced statement and document imaging solutions for financial service providers, today announced its plan to launch its Doxim TaxPack solution to its Credit Union clients.

Doxim TaxPack has been successfully commercialized to the Canadian wealth management sector for several years and now brings streamlined tax form processing services to the Canadian Credit Union community for the 2012 tax season.

Doxim TaxPack takes the headache out of the year-end tax process. It is a fully automated solution that manages all aspects of the tax form processing, from receipt of initial files, right through to insertion into the postal system and/or upload to an online document repository.

Easy On-line Access

Doxim TaxPack, coupled with Doxim Enterprise Content Manager (ECM) a secure online document repository facilitates the delivery of tax forms to members via their online banking portal, allowing them to access their tax forms conveniently online, whenever they need to.

As Doxim ECM is already fully integrated with the MemberDirect banking portal, many Canadian Credit Unions will be able to immediately offer their members online access to their 2011 tax forms via the MemberDirect eDocuments service.

The Doxim TaxPack is quick and easy to customize, which allows certification for other banking portals to be achieved with very little effort.

Lower Mailing Costs

The advanced form processing and handling capabilities built into Doxim TaxPack allows multiple tax form types to be merged into one print output, which allows all these forms to be mailed in one envelope. This leads to significant cost savings compared to mailing each form individually in its own separate envelope.

Real-Time Online Status Reporting

Doxim TaxPack also provides a real time portal for customers, making it easy to get the up to date status on all the tax forms that have been submitted for processing. Clients can simply log into the online portal to obtain a real-time update on the current production status of each of their tax form jobs so that they can respond efficiently to member inquiries.

Executive Quote:

The time consuming and costly process of delivering tax forms at year end is fraught with headaches, says Chris Rasmussen, President and CEO at Doxim. Doxim Tax Pack helps deal with all these issues, cutting costs significantly, while adding huge value to the tax form distribution process, especially when it comes to providing Credit Union staff and members with online access to tax documents. We believe it will be very well received by the Canadian Credit Union marketplace.

Chris Rasmussen,

President & CEO, Doxim
