Franchisors, Owners, Operators: Questions You Always Wanted to Ask About Social Media
Franchisors, Owners, Operators: Questions You Always Wanted to Ask About Social Media
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 5, 2009
Julie Keyser-Squires, APR, and CFO, vice president of Softscribe Inc., is passionate about using social media to connect people and ideas. You can give her a shout at Julie(at)softscribeinc(dot)com, on twitter @Juliesquires, make a comment on her business blog, “First Light,” and sign up for her free quarterly video email snack at marketingsnacks.com or softscribeinc.com.
If you are a franchisor, owner or operator, you may be asking these four questions about social media:
1. What is the ROI of social media marketing?
2. How aggressively do we want to play on the social media front?
3. Is it enough for the brand to communicate on behalf of hotels or do franchisees want their hotels to provide individual promotions and unique offerings?
4. What kind of manpower does it take to stay in touch with “followers”? Can hotels feasibly dedicate the resources individually, or should the responsibility be with a brand marketing and eBusiness effort?
Here are the answers, with a focus on social media sites Twitter and Facebook. First, however, would you consider one more question that could jump start your participation in social media:
“How did you create your revenue management strategy and processes?”
1. What is the ROI on your revenue management program?
2. How aggressively do you deploy it?
3. Is it owned at the brand level, the property level, or both?
4. What are the manpower commitments? 100% to 25% of one – or more – person’s time?
Revenue management and marketing are two sides of the same coin. Both are integral to every area of the enterprise; each requires internal consensus and a cultural shift; and both can positively impact top line revenue. You might be able to leverage an earlier learning curve as you consider these questions about your social media involvement.
1. What is the ROI of social media (or “Want a cheap hotel? Just give up the bed.”)
In social marketing, is Return on Investment becoming Return on Engagement? Possibly. Although among franchisors, owners and operators it is still in the early adoption phase, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants and luxury resort The Rancho Bernardo Inn already realize measurable success.
Since engaging in social media in 1Q ’09, visits to the Kimpton website have increased 500 percent and 600 percent (year over year) from its Facebook fan page and Twitter, respectively. Look for the goldfish icon.
General Manager John Gates (@GMGoneMad on Twitter) at the luxury destination resort Rancho Bernardo Inn realizes two to three responses per offering of his pop up specials on Twitter, including the Inn’s exciting “Survivor Packages” below:
-Posted 8:50 AM May 15th . “Check out our new “Survivor” Package: Just $ 219 per night, including deluxe accommodations and breakfast for 2. Stay tuned for details…”
-And eight posts later with each “tweet” shaving $ 20 to $ 30 off the rate:
-Posted 7:30 PM May 15th. “My FINAL offer: Stay for $ 19 without breakfast, honor bar, A/C, heat, pillows, sheets, lights, linens, toiletries or bed!”
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is on both Twitter and Facebook to create a greater awareness and understanding of its brand.
A quick search on Twitter.com reveals that companies like Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, Choice Hotels International, Inc., Hilton Hotels Corporation, Best Western International, Inc., and InterContinental Hotels Group are starting to have a presence as well.
2. How aggressively do we want to play on the social media front?
Depends on your business. A personality driven sales approach like Kimpton’s, which is not a hard sell, may be a good fit.
Consider a balance between exploring social marketing venues and executing on your existing marketing and Internet public relations plan.
3. Is it enough for the brand to communicate on behalf of hotels or do franchisees want their hotels to provide individual promotions and unique offerings?
Both.
Facebook lets individual hotels share tips about their cities and local promotions.
On Facebook, people post interesting content three to four times a week, which is manageable for most hotels (Twitter posts can stream into Facebook, too, which lets you repurpose content.).
Twitter, where the norm is three posts per day, could be a better fit for corporate communications teams, although many properties are on Twitter as well.
Franchisors, owners and operators that allow any employee to start a Twitter account might consider instituting corporate social computing guidelines. IBM’s social marketing guide is a good example.
4. What kind of manpower does it take to stay in touch with “followers”? Can hotels feasibly dedicate the resources individually, or should the responsibility be with a brand marketing and eBusiness effort?
Consider carving resources out of your existing communications – or revenue management – team.
During the learning curve, maintaining a presence on Facebook and Twitter can take from 15 to 30% of one person’s time for a brand the size of Kimpton. Tools like TweetDeck, which let you categorize the people you follow on Twitter, can streamline tracking “followers.”
Some brands, like Fairmont, have a different individual dedicated to each social media touch point. Team members can spend from 30 to 50% of their time on social media and the remainder on traditional marketing.
If you are a franchisor, owner or operator, you may be guiding your team to tighten the relationship between revenue management and marketing. You know that promotions which include precisely targeted incentives can drive incremental revenue to the top line; social media gives you tools to serve them up in engaging ways.

When A Woman Succumbs to Extreme Deal Shopping
When A Woman Succumbs to Extreme Deal Shopping
Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) June 11, 2009
How can you tell when a woman is addicted to deal shopping? Some of those addicted will clipping coupons everyday; others will go to online websites such as macys.com and see the day’s best deals. For 27-year-old Luna Parker, a working mom from Silicon Valley, it means starting her own deal site dealmoon.com, a shopping deal site designed specifically for women.
“I just love the feeling of buying good stuff for cheap price,” says Luna Parker. “I have been deal shopping since I was a college student. Every morning when I get up I would log onto different forums and deal sites to check for the newest coupons and latest sale information. Most of the things I buy are with big discount or even for free.” Luna looks at her belongings and says proudly, “I got my Gucci watch for $ 129 while the price in store is $ 499; my diamond/ruby bracelet was $ 99 when the regular price was $ 599; my Banana Republic Coat was 80% off; my Clarks shoes cost $ 14.99; the toys and diapers I bought for my daughter are always 30% – 50% off….”
The idea of starting her own deal site came up earlier this year, when the economy went really bad, and Luna found more and more of her friends asking where to get the latest coupons and deals: “I realized that although there are many deal sites out there, most of them are focused on electronics and computers. I didn’t see any good deal sites that are designed for women and targeting to their daily purchases. I thought: ‘since I am spending time collecting these deal information anyways, why not organize them on my own website and share?’ So I did. I created dealmoon.com.”
Everyday Luna would put information onto her site about latest deals and coupons which are interesting for women, for example a 15% coupon at Macy’s, $ 150 drop on a Gucci watch on Amazon.com, a free gift set with Cosmetics purchase, 20%-40% off Baby diapers, etc. Gradually she got more and more visitors to the site. Some would even check the site every few hours to stay on top of the new items, because they know great deals can expire or sellout very quickly.
“Now I have almost 1,000 visitors to my site everyday and the number is growing.” Luna smiles, “five days ago I received a Thank You e-mail from a user who took advantage of a post on my site and had just bought a ½ carat diamond ring for $ 129 during a 3-hours price drop on overstock.com. Now the price has gone back up to $ 599! The best part was that the ring actually arrived in her hands the day after she placed the order, exactly on her second wedding anniversary! Believe me, this is the most rewarding thing for me: my hard work all pays off when my users get a good deal from my site and are excited about it!”

Nebraska Furniture Mart taps Thanx Media’s Endeca Site Search and Merchandising Solution to Boost Conversion, Monetize Store
Nebraska Furniture Mart taps Thanx Media’s Endeca Site Search and Merchandising Solution to Boost Conversion, Monetize Store
IRCE 2009, Boston, MA and Glen Ellyn, IL (PRWEB) June 16, 2009
Thanx Media (IRCE booth 731), a leading provider of integrated solutions for online retailers and media companies, announced today that its client, Nebraska Furniture Mart, has seen an double-digit percentage increase in sales since deploying Thanx Media’s Endeca site search and merchandising solution on its online store. The deployment was a key part of a series of recent investments in retailer’s online channel and was a central piece of a recent and on-going website redesign. Nebraska Furniture Mart has also tapped the solution’s Merchandising Workbench tool suite, empowering marketers to quickly self-create new localized content and monetize areas of the site without the need for IT or development cycles. As a result, Nebraska Furniture Mart’s eCommerce team can boost sales and sponsorship revenue while eliminating dependencies on valuable technical resources.
Nebraska Furniture Mart’s site search and merchandising approach offers a cutting-edge example of new applications of ‘searchandising’ – applications that go above and beyond the up-sell, cross-sell and related-products approaches synonymous with search-based merchandising tools. Two examples of the retailers approach include localized content creation and display, as well as brand-specific, search-triggered landing pages.
“The merchandising tools available with the Endeca solution open up a wealth of new tactics we can apply to our multi-channel strategy, and really set it apart from other solutions on the market,” said Jeffrey Douglas, Internet Marketing Manager at Nebraska Furniture Mart. “We’re now evolving and updating aspects of the shopping experience that we never would have attempted in the past, either because they would have been cost or resource prohibitive.”
For example, Nebraska Furniture Mart operates stores in Omaha, Des Moines, and Kansas City. Departments and product lines vary by location. Using the new tools, Douglas and his team created different elements of the online experience that would dynamically appear based on the location of the online shopper. If the shopper is accessing the site from Kansas City market – where the retailer features a high-end design business – distinct products and design services are automatically displayed and prominently promoted on the website.
Another example includes the creation and monetization of brand-themed zones of the online store. Nebraska Furniture Mart’s brick-and-mortar stores feature a Sony Store boutique – a branded store-within-a-store. Using the Endeca Merchandising Workbench, the retailer has been able to create a similarly branded section of the site, thus introducing new means of monetizing virtual floor space in a way that mirrors proven offline merchandising approaches.
“Thanx Media lowered the barrier to entry for adopting and deploying state-of-the-art software without using up our limited IT resources. And they proved to be a great partner in the process,” said Jeff Olson, Senior Programmer/Analyst at NFM. “When you combine best-in-class search with tools like Merchandising Workbench and Site Boost automated SEO, you empower the business while freeing up valuable technical resources to focus on improving other complementary aspects of the multi-channel shopping experience.”
Thanx Media offers an extensive range of Endeca-based offerings and services, including their SaaS Endeca On-Demand hosted site search solution and new Site Boost automated SEO.
“Nebraska Furniture Mart is among our most innovative clients, both in their use of merchandising control and their focus on building a consistent and differentiated multi-channel strategy,” said Paul Matker, CEO of Thanx Media. “Their unique approaches to localization and monetization illustrate the type of value that the Endeca platform can deliver above and beyond state-of-the-art search and navigation. Our goal is to make this technology accessible to an increasingly wide variety of multi-channel and eCommerce operations.”
About Nebraska Furniture Mart:
Nebraska Furniture Mart was founded in 1937 in Omaha, Nebraska by Rose Blumkin in the basement of her husband’s jewelry store with a $ 500 investment. In 1983, Warren Buffett purchased a majority interest in Nebraska Furniture Mart and made it part of the Berkshire Hathaway family of companies. In 2006 Nebraska Furniture Mart added the ability to buy online through its web site, nfm.com. Offering furniture, flooring, appliances, electronics and computers, Nebraska Furniture Mart just completed its 72nd year of consecutive growth.

Innovative New Exposure for Advertisers Through the Resurrection of an Old Method
Innovative New Exposure for Advertisers Through the Resurrection of an Old Method
Trenton, NJ (PRWEB) June 25, 2009
Everyone has heard of the freebie industry in bits and pieces here and there, in one form or another. Some of what is heard is interesting, but most is brushed off and ignored, simply because it had been discovered on a sub-page of a sub-page of “somewhere”, flooded with ads and pop-ups that leave an internet user ready to throw their computer out the window in frustration. This disarray isn’t something that’s happened by design. It’s simply a consequence of disorganization, and a lack of collective effort by advertisers to move in a single direction. Competition has clouded judgment in a very large way and, as an inevitable consequence, the free stuff industry itself has become buried, the majority of legitimate opportunities branded as online scams and mixed in with the rest of the residual internet leavings of today’s over-saturated advertising market. Is there a way out of this virtual black hole the freebie industry has created for itself? There is a newly resurrected advertising strategy that hopes to accomplish this very thing, a new and innovative use of what is commonly known as pixel advertising.
Pixel advertising is an older advertising strategy that began to come to light through the efforts of a young British lad named Alex Tew who, in 2005, was simply looking for a way to raise some money for his education. To make a long story short, he found it. Since then, the pixel market has been saturated by every hack and basement-dweller out there and become something of a mundane method of generating a few bucks over the short-term. What makes this new variation truly unique isn’t the method it employs, but the motive behind it. Rather than employing the old strategy of filling the pockets of the site owner, this strategy has emerged out of the desire to rejuvenate the freebie industry. It intends to do this through growth and buzz, and the acceleration of these by funding their growth through the revenues generated, rather than simply taking it’s money and running away. The end goal of this targeted method is the ultimate centralization of all things free under one roof. The companies who choose to advertise their free product or service via this method will be helping the advertising site’s growth through the very act of advertising on it themselves, creating a cycle of traffic that will grow exponentially. When all is said and done, the pixel site will become their gateway, generating traffic most businesses have never seen before, simply because it has grown to such a point that it cannot help but be noticed by everyone. The attractiveness of this idea is not the pixel site itself, but the idea behind what it is offering to the public, a gateway to finding free items.
Essentially, all one does to advertise in this manner is find a freebie-based pixel site, create an account, select and purchase their space, upload their graphic, enter a description, and put a back-link to the advertising website on their own domain. Rates for these sites are very cheap and designed to simply generate enough funds to aid and accelerate the site’s growth. The key part of this entire process is the back-link. As Advertisers link to the pixel site from their own, the organic listing of the site increases. This is combined with word-of mouth generated from interest among both advertisers and freebie-seekers, along with some serious financial backing from the site itself. As the website grows and collects revenues, it’s own exposure campaigns become more and more intense, and a snowball effect is created for everyone involved in the entire process. Finding the rite site is the real trick, however. If the right one is used, the site benefits everyone who purchases space on it’s grid by delivering mass amounts of traffic both through it’s own efforts, and the efforts of those who support it, thus taking large steps towards a real resurrection of the freebie industry as a whole, and offering advertising companies new and innovative ways to expose their business to new traffic. Internet freebie and bargain-seekers can now stop on one site and have some real fun looking through what the internet wishes to simply give to them for free, no digging required. One click, take your pick. By the pixel site’s targeting it’s own focus in this manner, rather than simply having a “neat” site, it employs a whole new method of gaining attention for itself, and puts a very attractive feature to use, enticing internet users to come through it’s doors.
It will remain to be seen if this idea can get off the ground. At this point, however, it’s difficult to see how it could not. All it requires is for advertisers offering a free product or sample to extend themselves to the right site, using it in the manner that it’s intended for. The space they receive is permanent and the site’s growth, whether fast or slow, is a mathematical inevitability. It’s such a simple idea, that it’s amazing to think pixel advertising has never been used in this manner before.
Freebie-based pixel advertising sites are extremely new, few, and far between. They are, however, open to anyone and everyone who wishes to gain exposure for their business by offering something for free. Everything from websites offering free downloads of music, graphics, ringtones, software, incentivized marketing websites offering free prizes, companies offering free products or samples, anything that is attainable for free is allowed to be marketed through these websites. All potential ads are evaluated to ensure their relevancy, and approved once the site itself has been back-linked with the advertiser, and it has been ensured that the ad meets the standards and guidelines of the site. Essentially there is no way for an online scam to get through and advertise on the pixel-site’s grid. If you are looking for a truly different and unique way to advertise your business by offering something for free, taking a look at these kinds of websites is well worth your time.

Website Security Shootout With Security Expert
Website Security Shootout With Security Expert
Fishkill, NY (Vocus) July 7, 2009
Just like the old western movies, when a new gun comes into town, everyone is eager to find out how fast and deadly the newcomer really is. This would usually lead to a gunfight. Like any gunfight, there can only be one winner. That scenario was recently reenacted in the digital town they call the Internet. When SecureLive, a website security company boasted about being the fastest and deadliest, a website security expert and author just had to find out for himself by putting oh his gun belt.
SecureLive LLC, a New York based website security company recently launched a suite of website security products aimed at securing all the loopholes and doorways on a website. The system consists of software that deploys artificial intelligence and “Live” monitors to thwart hackers and thieves. SecureLive claims to protect and secure all the moving parts of a web application with a strong website security and anti-hijacking prevention system.
Now, you can’t just walk into town making such big claims and get away with it. So, website security expert Tom Canavan, author of “Joomla Web Security” (published by Packt Publishing in 2008), decided to put SecureLive through his usual grueling test. Joomla is one of many open source website platforms used by millions across the world. Mr. Canavan’s expertise goes far beyond Joomla security and into all aspects of website security. Mr. Canavan was eager to prove that this new website security for Joomla was just like all the rest and would soon fall from his smoking gun.
After Mr. Canavan’s attacks and gunfire, SecureLive remained unmoved and proved to be quite capable of taking the bullets. Without any signs of weakening or cracking, SecureLive withstood the best hacking Mr. Canavan could hurl. In fact SecureLive successfully blocked Mr. Canavan’s assaults, and consequently banned him altogether. The results not only stunned him, but prompted him to remark: “Wow – I was effectively dead in the water unless I wished to move to another location with a different IP. SecureLive stopped me and blocked me from even seeing the website. Wow!!”
The following are excerpts from Tom Canavan’s review of SecureLive:
“We used a basic IP scanner to confirm the presence of our target, then moved to a more advanced scanner to gain a deeper understanding of it. Out of this part, we did not set off any alarms and found some very interesting ports opened, that we would attempt to exploit as part of the test.”
“Gaining that traction we then moved up to a direct SQL attack on the machine — hitting a component that did not exist on the site. I wanted to test the ‘alertness’ of the software. It did not trigger anything -but that is what I would have expected – it in essence ignored my feeble attempt on attacking a non-existent component.”
“I hopped over to my CentOs Linux box, and attempted a few “cheap” hacker tricks – which of course failed, and did not set-off any alarms. That settled it – I pulled out a commercially available Cross Site Script and SQL Injection testing tool to find any weaknesses in the site.”
“Test started — and kept, going, and going…oops.. I was caught!”
“SecureLive detected my attempt to run a SQL Injection and a XSS against the site. All of the sudden my other (windows) box could no longer reach the site – 404 Page not found…hmm…Jumping over to the Linux server on a different network – no problem. SecureLive stopped me.”
“SecureLive is a Premium product that offers more value than you are paying for. With the rise in Cyber Crime, and the sophistication of the attacks and the tools, any serious site owner, who depends on their website for revenue should not be without this product guarding their site. It’s simple to install and is monitored as part of the SecureLive service. Should an attacker reach a certain threat level, the “host” of the IP is notified allowing them to take action at their end of the wire, to shut down the bad guys.”
“What I really liked was the under the covers look at the technology. They have developed a very robust and powerful system that has the flexibility to change and grow as the threats to your site will inevitably change and become even more powerful.”
“Head to http://www.securelive.net and buy it today and start being part of the solution to e-crime rather than a victim.”
ABOUT THE REVIEWER: Tom Canavan is author of Joomla! Web security, available from Amazon and a must read for any website administrator, not just Joomla! sites. He has been in the Computer industry for 24 years, and is most recently the former CIO of a large .dot com based in Texas.
ABOUT THE PRODUCT: The actual product reviewed by Mr. Canavan was SecureJoomla, a website security application by SecureLive that utilizes the same engine as all SecureLive anti-hacking products. The entire SecureLive website security applications suite are detailed at SecureLive.net.
More recent media comments:
“Once in a while a product comes along and really makes me sit up and pay attention” – Barrie M. North – JoomlaShack.com, and author of “Joomla 1.5: A User’s Guide.
“Joomlashack doesn’t give such high praise to just any old Joomla product – Barrie M. North – JoomlaShack.com, and author of “Joomla 1.5: A User’s Guide.
SecureLive blocks attack attempts first and then alerts you and a live monitor in real-time. During blocking and alerting, the system also records vital data about the attacker including attack strings used, geo-tracking and other unique signatures. This evidence is recorded in the global system and passed onto LIVE monitors, who will follow up the incident by filing a report and forwarding the evidence to the appropriate agencies seeking action against the attackers. The system is artificial intelligence enabled and adjusts your security settings (per client) automatically to become “SMARTER”. It is an intelligent learning device.
SecureLive website security incorporates Software Bots, Artificial Intelligence Technology, Complete Covert Data Acquisition, Existing Global Hacking Knowledge-base, Live Human Intervention, SMART Real-Time Diagnostics and Automation to pack three separate systems into one for a complete ROUNDED solution to today’s security threats; BLOCKING, ALERTING AND REPORTING.
This is what ALL other security systems should be doing and is a much needed product in today’s cyber environment.

Coms Launches VoIP Service with 2 Million Numbers
Coms Launches VoIP Service with 2 Million Numbers
(PRWEB) November 16, 2006 -
Coms plc (http://www.coms.com) today switches on its Internet Telephony network for UK public use. Unlike Skype, Coms will work on all devices that support the SIP protocol, which is recognised as the International standard for voice over IP (VoIP) networks, bringing simple, cheap internet telephone service to a wide range of PDAs, mobiles and landlines.
Coms uniquely lets each customer select their own free UK personal number from a range of two million Ofcom allocated numbers in 185 different geographic area codes. Incoming calls are free and calls between Coms users are also free. Coms charges low rates to UK phones, mobiles and international destinations and for enhanced messaging services.
There are over two million British households using the Internet to make calls, and numbers are only set to increase. Further, SIP is becoming standard in most portable devices. By 2008 most mobile phones and PDAs will be able to receive VoIP calls from the nearest wireless hotspot.
“This mass saturation will enable people to make cheap calls wherever they can get onto a WiFi hotspot, giving the networks a real run for their money,” says Terry Martin, CEO of Coms.
“Integration of Coms numbers with existing handsets will be the linchpin of this sector,” says Richard Bennett, Corporate Development Officer of Coms. “Our phones are reminiscent of mobile handsets, which brings users a sense of familiarity that will drive the uptake of our service – users will quite literally take their landline with them.”
The successful technology entrepreneurs behind Coms have several years of experience in the telecommunications and computing sectors and companies that include Apple, JFAX and Virtual Internet, which they believe will give them the edge required to make their offering work in the emerging VoIP market. Coms will offer its service and special Internet phones through the company’s online shop (http://www.coms.com).

U.S. Customs Seizes Large Quantity of Counterfeit Exercise Products
U.S. Customs Seizes Large Quantity of Counterfeit Exercise Products
Chester, NJ (PRWEB) January 14, 2010
Thinking about buying an Ab Coaster or other popular exercise product for cheap on Craigs List? Think again. The attractive low prices for items seen on internet sites such as Craigs List are there for one simple reason: the product is likely a cheap counterfeit.
The U. S. Customs and Border Protection Service notified The Ab Coaster Company that it seized large container quantities of counterfeit Ab Coaster products at a port in Long Beach, CA. According to company spokesperson, Sean Gagnon: “Everyday we receive phone calls and emails from unhappy customers complaining about problems they are having from poor quality counterfeit goods they purchased on Craigs List or eBay. So we were not surprised when we learned that U.S. officials discovered and seized the counterfeit Ab Coaster products at the port.”

Counterfeiting of consumer products is estimated at $ 250 billion a year according to the Department of Commerce. Counterfeiters often target products such as watches, handbags, computer software, and sunglasses. But they also copy other unexpected products such as auto parts, aircraft parts, baby formula, shampoo, cosmetics, medical devices, and fitness products such as the Ab Coaster. Airliners and helicopters have crashed due to such spurious components. Counterfeit auto parts–notably brake pads–have also caused deaths. Counterfeit fitness equipment can easily break down and cause severe bodily injury and property damage.
Because today’s fakes are not just the usual knockoffs, special precautions need to be taken when shopping. “If you make it, they will fake it,” says Caroline Joiner, executive director of the Global Intellectual Property Center, run by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “Every product in every industry is vulnerable.”
Counterfeiting has moved out of the shady dark corners of the street to more legitimate venues. Of course, vendors still peddle counterfeit merchandise on city streets. Fake Rolex watches and Fendi purses are sold on the street corner in New York City. But with the birth of internet commerce, the counterfeit game has changed in a big way. The shady guy standing outside in a raincoat has been replaced by people posting ads on websites such as Craigs List and eBay. The sellers typically post bogus stories such as “I moved and this Ab Coaster doesn’t fit in my new apartment”, or “I received this product as a birthday present but I have one already,” in an effort to fool buyers into believing that the product is authentic and their intentions are pure.

Fake replicas may look the same as the authentic product, but they are very different – especially when it comes to exercise equipment such as the Ab Coaster. Counterfeiters use poor quality materials and faulty workmanship, which could lead to damage and serious injury. That’s why counterfeit goods cost so much less than the original. Counterfeit products are not serviced or warranted by the manufacturer, so the risk of buying counterfeit goods is high.
According to Gagnon: “If you believe you are a victim of a counterfeit, you may contact the The Ab Coaster Company and file a complaint. If you file a valid claim, The Ab Coaster Company will give you a $ 100.00 victim reward good towards any authentic Ab Coaster product.” To file a complaint click here.

This Black Friday and Cyber Monday Special Topped the List for Kids Christmas Gifts Across the Nation This Year
This Black Friday and Cyber Monday Special Topped the List for Kids Christmas Gifts Across the Nation This Year
Madison, WI (PRWEB) November 30, 2010
This Christmas Small Kids Atv’s are in demand and with holiday sales heating up there are some great deals online that every Holiday shopper should consider. The factors considered in the search where as follows; price, shipping costs, accessories, warranty and company and deals.
Here was a deal that near the top of the list. A 110cc Small Kids ATV for $ 599 delivered anywhere in the United States for free and it came with an $ 80 Kids ATV helmet that was included with the purchase. This kids ATV came with a 6 month parts warranty and came in a wide range of colors from solid red, blue, Green Army camouflage to pink army camouflage.
Of course safety is always the number one concern when dealing with kids and machines and that’s exactly what we found when looking into these cheap prices Atvs. Most youth ATV come with a speed limiter which lowers the top speed of the child’s ATV down to as low as 5 mile per hour, so your child can learn the machine at a slower, safe pace. Second is that these kids atvs have remote control key chains that allow you to turn off the ATV with the push of a button so, if junior is doing something that he or she shouldn’t be doing then with a push of a button the ATV is off and you are in control. Most of the Small youth Atv’s that where found had these safety features but, if you are considering one for a gift this Christmas make sure the ATV has these features.
One thing to recommend if your searching for the best online company to purchase a Kids Atv from is to consider this WARNING, don’t just click on the first pay per click Ad that comes up in the search engine. Anyone can spend $ 20 and put on a pay per click Ad to drive traffic to their site, we suggest using the organic search area of the search engine because the most related sites will appear for the topic and we found the higher the site in the natural searches have the best deals and are the most reliable. If you where to enter the search term “cheap atvs” take a look at all the pay per click Ad’s for that search term, now realize that 80% of those companies just drop ship from the top 5 companies under the organic search that appears lower on the page. Most of thoses companies that use the pay per click Ad’s where found don’t even have a physical store front, they are people using their computers in their homes playing middlemen and drop shipping from the larger companies.
In doing some Internet searches this site stood out and they specializes in the sales and service of Kids Atvs and they have been in business for over 6 years and they have a network of warehouses across the nation along with a reliable record of satisfied customers. For more information on youth Atvs please do a google search for Q9 Powersports, LLC or call them toll free at 1-888-252-9250.
