Whittard of Chelsea Offers an Exclusive Preview of Two Crowd Sourced Hot Chocolate Flavours


(PRWEB UK) 14 May 2013

In March of this year, Whittard of Chelsea threw open its doors to ask its Facebook fans and Twitter followers to suggest an exciting and luxurious new flavour of hot chocolate, a flavour that they thought would sit perfectly in Whittard’s luxurious range of seventeen hot chocolate flavours. Following an impressive response, the Whittard master buyers were asked to trim this list down to a shortlist of just nine sumptuous flavours.

The fans and followers then had a second look at this selection of nine and were asked to further whittle down the selection to their favourite two. Having been refined by the Whittard master chocolatiers, these two have been perfected and are almost ready for release.

Whittard of Chelsea can announce that these two flavours are Amaretto Milk Hot Chocolate and Hazelnut White Hot Chocolate. These flavours will be added to the current range in autumn.

The opportunity for hot chocolate lovers the nation over to get an exclusive taste of these innovative new flavours is now here.

Twenty-five lucky people will get the chance to try an exclusive preview of both by signing up via the Whittard Facebook page. Whittard are keen to get feedback, so are asking the winners to post their thoughts once they’ve tasted the new flavours.

The competition runs until midnight of 22nd May. There will be 25 winners whose names will be picked at random by Whittard of Chelsea and announced at latest by the 29th May.

Notes to Editor:

Tea and Coffee Merchants Whittard of Chelsea have been in the business of hot chocolate since Mr. Whittard’s original Fleet Street shop became renowned for its luxurious cocoa. Today this has expanded to seventeen established delicious flavours and soon growing with the latest two sumptuous editions being added later in the year. To browse all hot chocolate as well as masterful blends of tea and coffee, visit the online store: http://www.whittard.co.uk.

Clipcanvas Offers Video for Any Project


Oslo, Norway (PRWEB) May 14, 2013

Clipcanvas, the Norwegian based video marketplace, just announced they have released a completely new design and user experience for their services. In previous years, Clipcanvas has taken the non-traditional approach of presenting their service in a sleek and completely dark “night mode”-style interface, but now the service looks a lot brighter, more user-friendly and intuitive to use.

According to Cato Salter, founder and CEO for Clipcanvas, the change has been an ongoing process, “We have been discussing this for a long time, several years actually, but we were so passionate about our user interface and constantly got great feedback from those using it, so this has been a hard decision to make. Still, we decided that the best way to take advantage of some of the new abilities in CSS3 and modern web design techniques was to opt for a more traditional user experience. We killed our darling, and now we’re ready to see it rise from the ashes.” Follow this link to visit Clipcanvas and explore the changes yourself.

Clipcanvas have also made a big change in their market approach, targeting a wider audience signified by their new main slogans ‘Get videos for any project’ and ‘We help people tell stories every day – Let us be part of yours.’ Cato explains, “Well, this is really what it’s all about, helping people tell stories. It’s the essence of what we do. Our main users today are filmmakers, videographers and video editing and post-production artists, but in the years to come we are 100% sure the use of video to tell stories will be widespread.” He goes on, “In many settings where images are used for communication today, video will be used tomorrow. Video drives todays development of portable devices, like mobile and pads, people consume entertainment like never before, and it is only a matter of time before this focus hits the marketing spend of traditional business, industry and trade. Video implies longer sessions for user engagement, offers the sender an opportunity to tell more complex stories and currently implies a massive opportunity as far as we can tell.” When confronted with the question that we have already heard this story many times before, Cato explained that the market just takes a long time to develop, is costly and that it demands different skills of the end user compared to what is required from someone using images. “Just look at the young generations of today, they have no problems putting together videos to tell stories. They just know how to do it and the tools are already there. They’re not waiting.”

In the video marketplace industry, Clipcanvas is the first to take a more general approach to their market and users like this, and it’s a bold move. In previous years, they have already added freemium clips, production music and video editing capabilities to their service in order to offer a more complete set of tools for video creatives. On the question of where Cato sees Clipcanvas going in the future, he says “I expect the use of video to be widespread, our job is to make it so. We have been working on this opportunity for many years now, and we know a great deal about this business and where we want to go. However, we have always been faced with the challenge of attracting sufficient growth funding, and the European market has been sluggish in the past years. This has held us back. We are now turning our attention towards the North-American market, and intend to establish our presence there to compete more aggressively. In order to take the next step, we are now also reaching out to investors who see the obvious opportunities inherent in this market and who are willing to take risk in order to transform Clipcanvas from what it is today, into something significant that anyone can use.” So the message seems pretty clear, if you recognize the potential for this market going forward, reach out to Cato.

In any case, make sure to visit Clipcanvas and check out their brand new pages.

First Command Offers Six Tips for Saving Money

FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB) June 7, 2007

    Tip #1: Establish specific goals for things you really want. Saving as a matter of principle just doesn’t provide the necessary motivation for most people. You must have definite goals – things you really wish to have.

Tip #2: Set definite deadlines for reaching your goals. Be realistic about how much will be required to reach your goals. How soon will you need it?

Tip #3: Pay yourself first – fundamental to every financial plan. When you make out the checks to pay the bills, don’t put yourself last. You may never get three. Make that first check out to yourself.

Tip #4: Get your money out of sight and out of mind. Automatic bank drafts are an excellent means to this end.

Tip #5: Establish specific accounts for each separate goal. If you have two or more basic objectives, establish two or more accounts to achieve them.

Tip #6: Stick with your plan. The best plan in the world is useless if it is not activated or if it is abandoned. If your goals are meaningful to you, you must stick with your original plan.

Social Media Real Estate Marketing E-Book Offers Hope To Stressed Real Estate Market


Valencia, CA (PRWEB) February 10, 2010

Its no secret that many struggling Realtors have given up in the past few years; in fact, National Association of Realtors’ numbers show that their ranks have shrunk 11 percent since the peak of the market in 2006.

However, there is hope for those who are willing to use new methods of real estate marketing . Real estate broker, Naomi Trower has discovered a new way to market her business using social media, and shes been so successful at it, she has written an ebook outlining her methods step by step. The book, Social Media Marketing: Market Your Real Estate & Mortgage Business Using The Power of Social Media, is available at http://NaomiTrower.com/ebook .

I have seen so many people leaving our industry during the past 3 years, so that prompted me to look at alternative cost effective strategies to market our business, Trower explained. The past 2 years I’ve integrated internet & social media marketing into our marketing strategy, and I have had so much success using these strategies to increase my business even in these troubled economic times, that I wanted to share that success with everyone in the real estate market.

Trower found that using sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube has proven to be an extremely cost effective way to market her services. It also provides her with the opportunity to reach a huge new audience who she might never have been able to reach with expensive traditional methods of advertising.

Her ebook shows how anyone can strategically grow their Twitter following to tens of thousands; how to come up with the social media marketing plan thats right for them; how to build up fans for their Facebook business page; how to ensure that their blog is not just found in search engines, but ranked highly; and many other valuable insights into using social media to find more customers and make more sales.

I’ve been able to obtain 15 to 20 new leads per week with the use of these social media strategies, and I can show everyone the exact steps that Ive used, according to Trower.

Trower, a social media strategist, avid blogger, and entrepreneur, is a real estate broker in the state of California. She owns Premier Equity Group, Inc. & Premier Realty Group. She has a team of real estate agents and mortgage consultants.

In addition to being a real estate broker, she enjoys helping others achieve real estate and business success.

Ventureneer Offers Female Entrepreneurs and Nonprofit Execs Social Media Marketing Vcourse


New York, NY (Vocus) June 2, 2010

Social media is being approached like medical research once was: If it’s good for the men, then a smaller, pink pill must be good for women. No way, says Ventureneer, which is offering a Vcourse, Real Women Do Social Media.

“Social media classes often don’t consider the way women interact and the time-management needs of women,” says Geri Stengel, founder of Ventureneer. “This class provides one-on-one interaction with the instructor and a ready-to-implement social media plan for each participant.”

The 8-session on-line class will be held on Tuesdays, June 15 through August 3, from noon to 1 pm ET. The cost is $ 500 for those who register before May 31, $ 700 for late registration. Real Women Do Social Media meets each week via phone and the Internet.

“Women invented social media. After all, who recommends more products and services than women? No one,” says Lena West, who developed and will teach the course. “Women have nothing to fear from new media, as long as they’re explained well, in plain English. And that’s what this class is: clear explanations with practical advice on implementation.”

West is an award-winning social media strategists, blogger, and columnist. She developed her curriculum after years designing Internet and social media marketing programs for women who owned small businesses. Through her work, she found that:
