Online Shopping

Online Shopping

The first idea of online shopping was made to a reality by amazon.com in the year 1995. Little did then people know that a decade later, nearly 30% of the internet websites would be completely dedicated towards shopping for their client base. More investors have jumped into the new concept of retailing since they find the business concept interesting and easy. However, certain shoppers have many complaints that they are not able to get themselves fully satisfied by having a look at the product on the web alone. "Client base has immediately turned towards the computers" say many retailers. As more and more people join the online world of digital goods, retailers have buckled themselves up to be prepared for them. They are funneling more dollars to develop their web sites into a more positive experience in order to provide a smooth transaction to the clients.

Brand Manager Pushes Life and Brand to Extremes

Hansen Beverage Company Brand Manager Pushes Life and Brand to Extremes

Corona, CA, April 06, 2009 -- Steve Jugan Crowned Executive Level Crossover Athlete 2009 Push Champion.

When Steve Jugan Allied Brand manager for Hansen's Beverage Company decided to make Lost Energy the title sponsor for an ultimate actions sports adventure game, he decided to show his true and pure dedication by walking the walk or should we say Board, Ride, Bike, Skate, Wake and Surf. Jugan from Yorba Linda, California joined a group of other action sport junkies to do something that has never been done before and be part of The Push-Lost Energy invitational. The Push is a one day, non-stop "Hexathlon" of action sports designed to literally push an athlete both mentally and physically from one event to another for 15 hours straight across 160 miles of some of Southern California's most beautiful locations.

Jugan, the self-professed action sports enthusiast and native of California, has spent most of his life in the snow, dirt and surf, so when the founder of The Push Bob Krause and partner Marco Thompson approached him he was sold. "I get a ton of pitches from people with a lot of ideas, but I had never heard of an event quite like this one," said Jugan. Convinced that the event catered to hit his target demographics and psychographics, he offered his event prowess to the table and became the title sponsor. "The Push is a wicked combination of six of the most popular action sports - Snowboarding, Motocross, Downhill Mountain Biking, Skateboarding, Wakeboarding and Surfing - all mixed up into a day long adventure," says Krause, the creator of The Push. This concept was devised by him and his 18 year old son Ryan as the ultimate father-son bonding experience in which they completed 23 non stop action sports while traveling over 300 miles across southern California all in one day.

The Push was held on March 28, 2009, participants included Amateur and Pro athletes as well as a mix of sport enthusiasts and business executive types all hoping to be crowned the worlds best crossover athlete. Participants arrived Friday night March 27th at the Lake Arrowhead Resort for an evening of schmoozing, food and some basic training. At 8am the next morning they were on the slopes and ready to roll. From that point on participants drove from location to location showing off their very best to the judges while the event organizers had every type of board and bike waiting for them at each location.

"I can't wipe the smile off my face, 2010 is going to be unreal," says Jugan. "Only in So-Cal can you be on the slopes in the morning, ride the desert in the day and then surf until the sun goes down.

Bridal Gowns

Bridal Gowns

Things to consider when trying to decide on a bridal gown from a large selection of affordable wedding dresses, silk bridal gowns, beautiful destination dresses, flower girl dresses, bridesmaid dresses, and accessories.

One of the most important things to plan when you are organizing a wedding is getting the bridal gown just right. For most women - even if they've had a debutante gown (or a QuinceaƱera Gown), a prom dress and several bridesmaid dresses - the wedding dress or bridal gown is the dress of a lifetime. What factors should be considered when you are choosing your bridal gown? Our range of bridal gowns is extensive, so how do you narrow down your choices and find the dress of dresses?

Firstly: Fit. It is best if you select a bridal gown that fits the size you are. Nobody is really going to look at the tag to see the size you are, so if you have a size 12 body, you won't do yourself any favors by trying to squeeze into a size 8 bridal gown. While it is possible to lose weight in a hurry with certain diet pills, you will be more comfortable and save yourself a lot of hassle - and will look better - if you choose a gown that is the size you are.

Secondly: Body Shape. You want to emphasize your best features and draw attention away from your not-so good ones. A good bridal gown will do this. For example, if your tiny waist is your best feature, then a style with a nipped in waist (ballgown style, mermaid style or princess cut) will flatter this feature. However, if you would rather not emphasize your waist but concentrate on other features such as the cleavage or leg, then a straighter style such as a column or empire line will be more flattering - maybe with a plunging neckline or a side slit. A good rule of thumb when choosing a bridal gown is to expose your best features or have the material cut close to them, and to have fabric that's looser and more billowy around your least favorite body parts.

Thirdly: The Formality And Setting Of Your Wedding. The more formal the wedding, the grander the wedding dress. The ball gown style of dress is by far the most formal bridal gown. The other cuts (column, princess, mermaid and empire line) can be more informal. You should also consider where your wedding is held when deciding on some details of your wedding gown. A long, trailing train is probably not the best choice for a wedding held in a garden (grass can stain white fabric very easily), and a bridal gown featuring a very low neckline and a very high hemline probably won't go down too well in a traditional church wedding, particularly a more conservative church.

Fourthly: Time Of Year. A good old-fashioned June wedding means that you can choose a bridal gown that is a bit more revealing - the weather is likely to be hot, so if you go outdoors for your photos, you won't freeze. However, if you are planning on getting married at Christmas in a mountain location, something that is a bit warmer will be more appropriate (yes, you could turn the central heating up, but this means that your bridegroom and the rest of your family - who probably will have put something warm on underneath the tuxedos and suits - will swelter uncomfortably).

Lastly, Your Reception Plans. If your reception will involve a full sit-down dinner followed by dancing, make sure that your bridal gown is not so tight that eating and dancing will not be agony. You're going to have to dance alone and be photographed when you're not expecting it, so why be uncomfortable?

This business plan system will give any aspiring retailer the tools to get their concept on paper and create a professional Winning Retail Business Plan.

    "There are scores of entrepreneurs out there who have great retail concepts but are not sure of how to get to the next level" stated Ron Pawlowski, Managing Partner at The Retail Institute.

    Creating a written business plan with financial objectives and projections is essential if a retail concept needs to be shared with any stakeholder. These can include potential partners, employees, suppliers and most essential, investors. The package is designed so that any aspiring retailer can create a Winning Retail Business Plan with all the financials and present the plan to conventional and non conventional investors. "Entrepreneurs can consider presenting their plan to local banks as well as a wide array of other financing sources that they may not even be aware of. In the long run, many of these unconventional sources are better for the entrepreneur." added Pawlowski. The revised package comes with a 111 page manual, retail business plan template as well as spreadsheets for personal financial statements, cash flow projections, cash sensitivity projections and a trial balance sheet.
