London, England — theprintspace has extended their groundbreaking ‘DIY’ photographic printing process to the web. theprintspace.com will be the first online service to incorporate an easy to use professional colour management process. The result – enabling accurate soft proofing of images by clients on their own systems using bespoke print profiles, meaning prints that are as accurate as possible – first time! The process is explained in easy-to-follow video tutorials filmed exclusively by theprintspace, making theprintspace.com the first specialist professional photographic printing lab to utilise the web 2.0 spirit of innovation to its full potential.

theprintspace originated as Europe’s first walk-in DIY professional photographic printing lab. Launched in October 2007 and based in Shoreditch, theprintspace occupies two floors of a 4000sq foot area comprising of exhibition space, for-hire retouching and scanning booths, and large format printers. Since its opening, theprintspace has enjoyed acclaim from both industry professionals and clients alike.

Theprintspace philosophy is to equip the customer with the knowledge and resources necessary to get creative with high-spec professional imaging equipment (www.theprintspace.com/help/Studio.aspx) – which would usually only be accessible by the staff of a pro-lab. Until now, it has been impossible for photographers to have such unbridled control over their images, with a full range of professional print types, from digital C-Type archival prints to Epson Giclees and CYMK proofs. No website has ever made color management so accurate, so professional and yet so accessible and easy to use. In presenting a web interface for its famous creative print process, theprintspace.com acts like a professional standard, fully colour-managed print studio on your desktop.

At theprintspace guidance is available at every stage; from online articles to face-to-face consultations from in-house colour management and print technicians. A key feature of the website is the colour management and profiling tutorials (www.theprintspace.com/Content/colourmanagement.aspx), which are available to stream (www.youtube.com/theprintspace) or download from the website. Offering step-by-step instructions on subjects ranging from monitor calibration to building colour profiles and soft-proofing at home, theprintspace.com will enable users at any level to learn more about colour management.

As well as Epson Giclee (inkjet) prints, theprintspace offer affordable digital C-Type prints (www.theprintspace.com/Content/printtypes.aspx), which are genuine wet lab prints exposed by a real photographic process. theprintspace’s digital C-type professional photographic prints are produced on a Chromira, which is a professional quality, colour-managed, high resolution print device producing exhibition quality archival prints suitable for the professional art market on Fuji Crystal Archive & Kodak Professional paper. The machine prints up to 30” wide, and up to 50 metres long. Alternatively, Epson (inkjet) prints are from the recently released 880 range using Epson’s new Vivid Magenta inkset, exclusive to the range. These ‘Giclee’ prints are printed on professional art papers, such as Hanhemuhle Photorag, Pearl, and Epson Gloss and Semi-gloss. The Epson prints up to 60” wide by 30 meters long.

A straightforward web ordering process allows clients to send disks to the lab or to upload digital files directly via a built-in secure file transfer system. Once received, print turnover is unparalleled. Instead of waiting days for digital prints, files can be transferred, printed, and returned within 72 hours. Theprintspace also offer an in-house mounting service, to exhibition standard on a choice of materials.

The team behind theprintspace.com are no strangers to the demands of the photographic industry, having run retouching and ‘prolab’ printing businesses in London for the past three years. In creating theprintspace, MD Stuart Waplington says, “We wanted to do something different, something that would empower photographers & creatives – really give them tools they need.”

As Dominic Apa, Public Relations Officer explains:

“theprintspace.com is very much a response for what we saw as a need for a democratisation of the top-level of digital printing. With more and more people becoming familiar with Photoshop and an increasing number of photographers even retouching their own work, people simply needed the ability to access the resources which until now had only been avaiable to a very select few. Just as we have made our colour profiles available for download, we have attempted with theprintspace.com to open up our systems to become platforms for user innovation. theprintspace is about enabling our clients to have full creative control over every aspect of their work, from start to finish, while providing guidance and assistance when it is appropriate.”

In the world of Listbuilding, it’s as if Yahoo and Google decided to work together on a search engine: Internet Marketing Master Shawn Casey and his student, Listbuilding Jedi Tellman Knudson, are bringing their “forces” together to create the ultimate Listbuilding course to help new entrepreneurs conquer their fears and build their own ‘robotic moneymaking machines.’

Brattleboro, VT April 20, 2008 — It’s like a scene from Star Wars, the one we all wanted to see: where Luke Skywalker joins up with Obi Wan Kenobi and they put their lightsabers together and team up to side-by-side against Darth Vader to clear the way for the new generation of young Jedi Knights. Shawn Casey, best-selling author of Mining Gold on the Internet, and Tellman Knudson of Overcome Everything, Inc. have teamed up to create what they call the ‘Ultimate Listbuilding course’ — appropriately named after it’s future home on the Internet: Listbuilding.com. It’s purpose, they say, is to help the next generation of entrepreneurs quickly and easily build lucrative businesses online using the most respectable, proven and long-lasting of the internet skills: Listbuilding.

Currently in pre-launch, this giant of a Listbuilding resource is scheduled to launch this spring; and if pre-launch activity is any indication, it’s going to be simply huge. At press time, the services and materials they have distributed free of charge — including step-by-step videos on how to create a site, a 24-hour “Squeeze-A-thon” that helped over 200 business owners get their squeeze pages built, and tell-all reports on how Shawn and Tellman started their own multi-million dollar businesses — have received raving reviews.

Both Casey and Knudson have incredible rags-to-riches stories that prove anyone, no matter where they come from in the universe, can make this work. “I started my company on 50 bucks and a ‘Frankenstein’ computer that was built out of other broken machines and resold,” said Knudson. “The CD drive was hanging out of the front because it didn’t work unless I held it in my hand and shook it, and the fan was so loud I couldn’t make a business call in the same room as my computer.” In his desperate search to make a living online, he accidentally found a copy of Casey’s Mining Gold on the Internet. “At the time, I had no idea who wrote it or what it was really worth” says Knudson, “I was clueless, and going further in the hole each day. But I kept at it, hoping something, someday would work.”

Then, he got Shawn Casey on the phone for just twenty-two minutes–and things changed. “Shawn told me a few things–but one of them was I had to send out these nine emails all in a row, and I didn’t want to do it; but he was ‘the master’–so I did,” says Knudson. Because he trusted his teacher, Knudson made $800,000 in profit that year alone–his first year online. Now he owns a multi-million dollar company with twelve employees, but he’s never forgotten who helped him when he was in need.

Casey, who was practicing law in back in 1995, started in a small, cramped apartment in Pittsburgh during the summer–with no air conditioning in 100 degree conditions. “I was living in an efficiency apartment that had no furniture in it, except for a table, two chairs, and a sofa that the landlord had let me scrounge from the furniture left over from previous tenants that he had piled up in the basement,” said Casey. From this humble beginning, Casey rose to become CEO of a company that made the Inc. 500 list for two years running. Yet, feeling suffocated by the corporate rat race, he wanted something more.

Then he discovered the potential power of direct marketing on the Internet. He applied his expert skills from his corporate days to this new business-form, and quickly became a master of building ‘robotic moneymaking machines’ using the internet as raw material. Today, Casey is a multi-multi-millionaire, who often runs his business while vacationing in the Caribbean (which Obi Wan would certainly have made his headquarters instead of the desert if only he’d known about it).
In all seriousness, both Casey and Knudson live a life that most people only dream of. Tellman now lives in a million dollar mansion in the woods of Vermont and works from home as well.

Casey says their inspiration and goal for this joint project is to teach other people to do the same thing they did–in half the time. The course, which will be released sometime in late April, will follow on the heels of the pre-launch materials out for viewing now, including free training videos, reports and case studies (also on video) of their previous students, who have made their own dreams come true following the advice of “the Marketing Master and the List Building Jedi.”

For more information about their upcoming series of trainings, destined to change the face of Internet Marketing, contact Kyle Battis, Affiliate Manager, or get more information at the ListBuilding.com website at eye-candy.ch

According to Cynthia Olmstead, founder and president of TrustWorks Group, the company’s new e-commerce site and free monthly e-newsletter helps business owners and managers identify an often elusive root cause of employee productivity, morale and high turnover issues.

To help organizations identify and address these issues, TrustWorks Group offers a series of accessible, easy-to-use products designed to give managers the skills needed to lead their own team building workshops, such as:

Leader as Trust Builder™
Having strong, effective skills to build trust in the workplace is recognized as a valuable leadership asset. A self-assessment or a more powerful, confidential 360-degree assessment is at the core of this workshop.

Great Teams™
In the TrustWorks! Great Teams workshop, a team quickly discovers what it is doing that contributes to or hinders its effectiveness. The guide explains how to lead the team through assessment, diagnosis and planning for improvement.

PACE™ Palette
Find out how people within an organization prefer to work, take in information and interact with others. This insightful exercise is used by organizations to enhance interpersonal relationships and group effectiveness.

TrustWorks Group also offers a free monthly e-newsletter with expert advice on management issues, industry news, case studies, book reviews and more. Founded in 1987 by Cynthia Olmstead, a leader in organizational change and training, San Diego-based TrustWorks Group, Inc. has transformed the way companies and organizations develop workplace trust. The company’s consultants and educational programs empower employees at all levels to address business challenges, improve leadership and strengthen team productivity.

In January 2008, a revolutionary new website was launched that will forever change the biodiesel industry. Fillmore Fuels is the first biodiesel related auction website to hit the market. In today’s renewable fuel market, there is a great divide between the individual consumer or home-brewer and the large commercial businesses. Fillmore Fuels is leading the way in bridging that divide by not only establishing a marketplace for biodiesel related items to be bought and sold, but also by building a community where everyone can come together to share their knowledge and expertise.

Largo, FL March 20, 2008. Significant growth in the American biodiesel industry has left the door wide open for entrepreneurs to explore new ways to help shape the market. In January 2008, biodiesel enthusiast Wesley Fillmore launched Fillmore Fuels (www.fillmorefuels.com), the first community-driven biodiesel auction site. The website was designed to help both hobbyists and commercial producers quickly and easily buy and sell biodiesel fuel and related products and equipment. Thanks to its innovative business model, Fillmore Fuels is uniquely positioned to revolutionize the market by helping to: regulate regional pricing; maintain a high level of integrity between buyers and sellers of biodiesel; and facilitate the exchange of ideas in an evolving industry.

According to the Annual Energy Outlook released by the Energy Information Administration in 2007, consumption of biodiesel is expected to reach .4 billion gallons by 2030. Fillmore Fuels is the first on-line community dedicated to biodiesel fuel and related products, and the consumers, hobbyists and commercial producers interested in purchasing and selling them. This new auction site brings buyers and sellers together to engage in on-line commerce and to address pertinent issues related to the industry. Since gaining momentum, the renewable fuel industry has faced a number of critical issues, including regional pricing. By creating a dynamic environment in which buyers can find the products they need at prices they can afford, Fillmore Fuels hopes to help mitigate this problem. While the value of biodiesel fuel varies by region, consistent and competitive pricing is essential to the growth of the market.

“With profit margins at a minimum, the ability to resort to more affordable feedstock when available is priceless, and Fillmore Fuels provides this option,” says Wesley Fillmore, President. “In addition, it provides a means for local farmers, restaurants, and producers to sell their virgin vegetable oils or WVO to the highest bidder, thus increasing their profit margins and limiting the middle man and cost.”

Sellers who use the Fillmore Fuels website offer a variety of products and resources. The site is designed to easily facilitate the sale of feedstock, algae, fuel, processors, vehicles and more. Each product is accompanied by a detailed description, and potential buyers can ask sellers questions before placing their bids. To maintain the highest level of integrity in all transactions, buyers can rate and review sellers and their products, therefore holding sellers to a higher standard and further assisting buyers in their purchasing decisions. In addition to providing a mutually beneficial on-line marketplace for buyers and sellers, Fillmore Fuels is also one of the few websites where both hobbyists and commercial producers can network and share valuable resources and tips. Additionally, the website offers useful articles on a variety of topics including how to avoid scams and how to save time and money. There is no cost to join the Fillmore Fuels website.

“Foreign companies and entrepreneurs from countries with high tax rates or restrictive business environments are particularly attracted to Singapore. Clients from many Asian and European countries are fast recognizing the benefits of incorporating here.”

Singapore is becoming a top location for starting a business, reports AsiaBiz – a firm focused on company incorporation services in Singapore. The company reports its own recent success with Singapore’s business policies, and provides information for foreign companies and entrepreneurs seeking to relocate.

Singapore November 6, 2007 — With its latest tax incentives, pro-business policies, streamlined regulations and booming economy, Singapore is fast becoming the top location for global entrepreneurs and investors to incorporate a business, reports AsiaBiz, a firm focused on Singapore company incorporation and related corporate services.

“Today more than 26,000 international companies call Singapore home,” says Samir Malhotra, head of business strategy at AsiaBiz. “Foreign companies and entrepreneurs from countries with high tax rates or restrictive business environments are particularly attracted to Singapore. Clients from many Asian and European countries are fast recognizing the benefits of incorporating here.”

AsiaBiz has found success with the country’s attractive business policies. The company is helping increasing number of overseas entrepreneurs and small-to-midsize businesses establish a presence and relocate to Singapore. “The common theme of our clients is that they are all entrepreneurs. On the same day, we could be helping an American hardwood supplier, a hedge fund manager, and an authentic Indian restaurant owner to incorporate and relocate to Singapore,” Malhotra says.

In a recent joint survey by the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation, Singapore was rated as the world’s best place for incorporating and doing business. Earlier this year, the Republic of Singapore implemented attractive tax exemptions for small-to-mid size companies and further reduced the overall corporate tax rate in Singapore to 18 percent. According to various reports and statistics, Singapore consistently ranks as one of the most competitive and profitable places for business investors.

Singapore owes its stability and economic growth to a sound legal system and clean government, according to Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew who was speaking at the opening of the annual International Bar Association conference recently. The Institute for Management Development (IMD) World Competitiveness Yearbook has consistently ranked Singapore in the top two positions since 1997 under the Legal Framework component.

AsiaBiz notes that the growing number of global entrepreneurs and foreign companies incorporating in Singapore is confirmed by business service providers such as accounting, corporate secretarial and legal firms in Singapore, increasing between 20 to 50 percent since last year.

Singapore’s relaxation of its immigration policies is also designed to facilitate the relocation of foreign entrepreneurs and professionals, according to AsiaBiz. This is done through programs such as Entrepreneur Pass.

“In addition to investing heavily in infrastructure and human capital to meet global competition, Singapore is focusing on developing Singapore into the ‘talent capital’ of the global economy,” Malhotra says. “This is good news for those looking for low taxes, a clean regulatory system, high quality of life and a lucrative place to incorporate and base their business.”

Market Directions, Inc., a brand performance consultancy, recently performed and analyzed a probing market study to establish a baseline of brand awareness and brand value for the Business Marketing Association (BMA).

Kansas City, MO – March 9, 2008, Market Directions, Inc., a brand performance consultancy, recently performed and analyzed a probing market study to establish a baseline of brand awareness and brand value for the Business Marketing Association (BMA). In doing so, the consultancy surveyed the B2B marketing community on numerous issues, including industry trends and future developments.

A theme that came out of the study is blending technology with an appreciation for the fundamentals of marketing and good business sense. The BMA study points to online marketing and ROI accountability as ongoing trends within the industry. Responding market leaders indicated that Web portals, webinars, blogs and other net-based media were the trade tools with the most impact today. Lead evaluation and other analysis tools, as well as Client Relationship Management (CRM) software programs, are other identified trends.

The call is for marketers to use this technology to move beyond tactical demand generation and align marketing activities with the customer buying cycle. Recent advances in software are helping make this happen. However, technology per se should not become the primary focus of the marketing industry. Maintaining an appreciation for the fundamental principles of marketing, and working toward the best interests of the customer, should remain top considerations.

About Market Directions
Market Directions is a Brand Performance consultancy that provides clear direction for brand growth through the voice of the customer. The company helps businesses through new brand acquisition, repositioning, brand extensions — no matter where the brand is in its lifecycle. Market Directions can help define a solution that will translate into business results. For more information visit www.marketdirections.com.
