BeFresh Delivers Personalized Street-Style Shopping for the Mobile Generation

/in , /by

Burlingame, CA (PRWEB) May 09, 2013

BeFresh (http://www.befre.sh), a mobile commerce platform that enables users to discover and shop street styles from their favorite brands, today, announces that it’s iPad app is now officially available worldwide and is a top 100 lifestyle app in 14 countries.

Street style, the original crowd-sourced content, is an increasingly powerful force in fashion. Not only does the authenticity and creativity inspire style, but is also effective in improving purchasing conversion and user engagement.

BeFresh app allows users to create their own shoppable style magazine that comprises real-time street-style images of their favorite brands. With each street-style image, BeFresh also delivers real-time e-commerce and sales information, making purchasing easy and fulfilling.

Unlike fashion apps that are glorified photo viewing apps or shopping tools that attempt to deliver sterile efficiency, BeFresh has seamlessly integrated content with commerce, mimicking the way most fashion enthusiasts shop – a browsing process that is as much entertainment as it is commerce.

“User generated street styles is compelling in its authenticity and diversity. But it’s too often scattered across the web. When we do find it, we are left wondering ‘What is that?’ or ‘Where can I buy that?’ and ‘Is it on sale?’” says Sophia Chiang, Co-Founder and CEO. “We saw opportunity in the disarray to build something that was both inspiring and efficient. Our rapid ascension to the top of app rankings demonstrates BeFresh’s worldwide appeal.”

The BeFresh team leverages its extensive experience in online fashion, mobile and e-commerce to develop an app and backend that appeals to both users and online retail partners.

“Having spent many years in online fashion, I have seen first hand the influence of street styles on purchasing and engagement,” says Jeff Lee, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer. “The BeFresh app delivers the street styles that you want to see, informs you of the product, and directs you to the best place to buy, all within a beautiful lean-back experience on the iPad.”

Vertical Consultants Reveals How Q3 2013 Mobile Investments Affect Cell Tower Landlords

/in , /by


Nashville, TN (PRWEB) November 14, 2013

Mobile venture capital investments have reached the largest financing quarter in history, according to CB Insights, a trusted investment database company. Venture capital firms have capitalized on the demand for apps, devices, mobile video, and mobile advertising among others, by investing over $ 1.12B in US mobile-related companies. This has made the third quarter of 2013 the highest quarterly total on record. It was also the first time that venture capital mobile deals have surpassed the healthcare sector.

These companies’ profit margins are on the rise, and, unfortunately, cell tower landlords are often not privy to this information. Implementing supply and demand economics would allow property owners to be paid full and fair value for telecoms and tower developers’ use of their land. As demand for mobile connectivity rises [subsequently increasing cell towers’ revenue] the value of property owners’ cell tower leases and the land used for telecom purposes also rises.

Hugh Odom, President and Founder of Vertical Consultants states, “Property owners throughout North America are in a better position today than ever before when it comes to negotiating terms for telecoms’ and tower developers’ use of their property. Growing consumer demands for mobile connectivity, in addition to an array of other mobile demands, increases the value of cell towers and their leases. However, property owners do not take advantage of this value increase because they are unaware that it even exists. Vertical Consultants was established to inform the uniformed property owners, advocating for those landowners who have been taken for granted and getting them full and fair value for their land that they deserve.”

Vertical Consultants’ success in the industry has proven the wide disparity between property owners and telecom companies. In 2012, the telecom lease-consulting firm increased property owners’ cell tower rents by 142% and, since inception, has recovered over 200 years worth of unpaid cell tower rents and expenses for their clients, collectively.

Vertical Consultants was founded in 2010 by Hugh Odom and is comprised of wireless industry veterans with decades of combined experience. Vertical Consultants specializes in issues surrounding the wireless telecom industry and prides itself as a source of information for property owners. Vertical Consultants experience in the industry allows it to offer its clients unmatched expertise, services and results. Unlike others in their field, Vertical Consultants is able to handle every aspect of the issues surrounding a cell tower, rooftop or any other type of telecom lease, from start to finish.

Waze Launches First Hands-Free Traffic Reporting for iPhone; Sets New Standard for Mobile Commuting

/in , /by


Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) February 09, 2012

Waze, the now 12 million-strong community of traffic resisters, is announcing today the next breakthrough in the global fight against traffic: hands-free operation of its popular iPhone app. With the simple wave of a hand, drivers can now speak to navigate, report traffic, and alert others to potentially hazardous incidents on the road. With the launch, Waze hopes to set a hands-free standard for the future of the traffic-reporting industry, as well as any driver-focused products to come.

How it Works

Unlike other touch-activated speech recognition systems, the latest version of Waze uses the iPhones native proximity sensor to initiate voice control. When activated with a wave past the screen, Waze prompts the driver to speak the intended commands, without ever having to touch the phone or its screen. For example a spoken command of report traffic will prompt the driver to specify heavy, moderate, or standstill. Waze will then place that alert on the map, offering a drivers the ability to share details normally reserved for users in passenger mode. The new feature also understands destination-related commands such as drive home or drive to work, so drivers can continue to focus on the road rather than the screen.

A Completely Hands-Free Experience

In addition to Wazes new hands-free traffic reporting, Waze enhances the experience by allowing the use of Apples native Siri speech recognition for specific addresses as well as local search queries. To further ensure minimum driver distraction, Waze also disables text input into the app while the car is in motion. The result is a completely hands-free navigation experience for Waze drivers from start to finish.

Waze has found a touch-free means for drivers to safely interact with their traffic information while driving, said Roger C. Lanctot, Associate Director of Strategy Analytics Global Automotive Practice. With a swipe of the hand drivers will now be able to access the information they need and report on incidents they see. The implications for crowd sourced traffic information are significant.

SaveOnBrew, the worlds only beer price-search engine, announced the release of the mobile version of their web site.

Now iPhone and Android users will have a version of the popular web site optimized to their platform and automatically displayed when they visit the site. “People have been asking for a mobile version since the site went live back in 2010,” said Greg Thibodeaux, founder and CEO. “Especially college students. That’s why we’ve opted to give away the mobile version free of charge. These are tough times and hopefully everyone can save some money on one of the world’s most popular adult beverages.”

“Our default sort is lowest price per beer, but we’ve included all of the features from the full version of the web site including the ability to sort on packaging and brand, as well as filtering to craft or import beers, if that’s your thing,” said Thibodeaux.

After finding their favorite beer, deal-seekers can drill down for details. “Everything you need to find the best beer deals is at your fingertips, said Thibodeaux. We provide a map to the retailer and even show you other beers on sale at the same location. We’ve also added in all of the latest social features so that you can share the great deals with your beer buddies.

“We scour the internet for advertised beer deals,” said Mark Davidson, co-founder and COO. “We like to think that if a beer deal is electronically advertised, we have it. Our data is not crowd-sourced and at any given time, there are between 250- and 300 thousand advertised, live, deals in our database from about 50,000 vendors. We’re adding more stores almost daily.”

Mobile users will automatically be directed to the mobile version of the site when visiting http://www.SaveOnBrew.com
