Have Smartphones and Social Media Made Your Website Irrelevant?

14 Sep

Buchanan, MI (PRWEB) September 14, 2012

The rapid rise of social media and smartphone adoption has sparked lively debate among executives questioning the relevancy of a company’s website and the importance of its web presence.

Against this backdrop, the Internet consultants at Precept Partners have answered the challenge with the complete redesign and re-launch of its own company website at http://www.PreceptPartners.com. The award winning, Michigan based Internet design and development firm serves clients in multiple industries throughout the Midwest.

“We see the rapid rise in mobile devices as an important long-term trend; companies that ignore smartphones and tablets may be doing so at their peril. With the re-launch our own website, we paid particular attention to a design that would be easy to use on Android tablets and phones, as well as Apple’s popular iPad and iPhone products,” said Stephen Antisdel, manager of Precept Partners.

Commenting on the growth of social media Antisdel added, “Our new site includes links to our blog, LinkedIn, Google+, Facebook and Twitter. Obviously, we use social media; it’s become a vital part of the larger “Internet ecosystem”. But, we don’t see it replacing our website or other online marketing initiatives. Social media certainly has a role in building relationships, but it doesn’t replace the functionality or expanded “story telling” ability of a well-designed and executed website.”

The new Precept Partners website explains the firm’s project development process, its six core service offerings, and highlights websites designed and developed for clients in a various sectors including manufacturing, services, e-commerce, and member supported.

TheKnot.com Teams Up With CrowdRise To Launch Crowdsourced Wedding Charity Registry Program

15 Aug

NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/

TheKnot.com, the #1 wedding planning resource, today announced the launch of its Charity Registry Program powered by CrowdRise, the leading micro-fundraising site benefiting nonprofit organizations. Couples who are passionate about giving back can now choose from 1 million+ nonprofit organizations to create their own charity registry so that guests can make donations as their wedding gift.

“Brides and grooms love having donations to their favorite charity alongside traditional gifts on their gift registries, and guests feel good ‘buying’ them!” says Carley Roney, cofounder and editor in chief of TheKnot.com. “We are thrilled to partner with CrowdRise to build out TheKnot.com Charity Registry Program because of its innovative ability to make fundraising fresh, fun and completely viral through a social community.”

“TheKnot.com Charity Registry Program is awesome and reflects the notion that people want their own philanthropic narrative to be part of everything they do,” says CrowdRise Cofounder Robert Wolfe. “People giving to people who are doing something amazing for charity is so much more personal than people giving directly to a charity. I’m confident that weddings will become one of the most notable ways that people choose to give back.”

To help raise awareness for the Charity Registry Program, TheKnot.com has also partnered with Runaway Bridesmaids, a trio of female travelers and authors who’ve gathered a team of more than 100 friends, boyfriends, husbands and colleagues to run the New York Road Runners Fifth Avenue Mile in New York City on September 22, 2012. Runaway Bridesmaids Holly Corbett, Amanda Pressner and Jennifer Baggett and their friends all plan to run in bridesmaid attire (even the men!).

Amanda Pressner and her fiancé will run the mile as TheKnot.com Charity Registry’s “First Couple” to raise money to help fight sex trafficking through New Light, an organization that provides shelters, healthcare and education for women and children in India’s largest red-light district.

Amanda and four additional Runaway Bridesmaids will run the ING New York City Marathon on November 4 fully dressed in their bridesmaid attire to show their charitable support.

“It’s so important to give back, and the new Charity Registry Program from TheKnot.com makes it easy for you to use your wedding day to do good,” says newly engaged Runaway Bridesmaid Amanda Pressner. “Because we’re getting married in our 30s, my fiancé Jason and I have already acquired many of the household items—like linens, dishes and flatware—you might find on a traditional registry. Rather than replacing what we already own, we’ve encouraged our guests to channel their generosity to a cause that we believe in by making donations through our charity registry. Even a modest donation to Runaway Bridesmaids will go a long way toward helping women in need start a wonderful new life of their own.”

For more information on the Charity Registry Program available at TheKnot.com, visit the TheKnot.com/CharityRegistry.

Protect Your Bubble Shares iPhone 5 Rumors and Insights

11 Aug

ATLANTA, Ga. (PRWEB) August 11, 2012

Excitement is building for the release of the new Apple iPhone 5. According to a very recent Reuter’s news report, Sharp who is the maker of the iPhone screens has just started shipping new 4 inch screens to factories in China for their final assembly into an iPhone.

Besides a new larger 4 inch screen, to stay competitive with the larger format Androids, it’s speculated that the cost of a new iPhone could be as much as $800. This is a sizable investment and along with that investment a buyer should consider taking steps to protect it from loss.

But there is more than the issue of theft to worry about; there is water damage, breakage due to drops out of purses and pockets without the owner’s awareness.

More and more people now use the iPhone as their primary device to access the Internet, and it is their main way to stay connected to friends, family, work, play and business. For these consumers, insurance is key to avoiding the downtime from a phone loss. Protect Your Bubble iPhone insurance policies cover mechanical breakdowns, accidental damage, liquid damage, loss or theft, next day replacement, and more for $7.99 per month.

The best way to avoid the headache of a smart phone loss (and a very easy, sensible step to take) is to buy a low cost insurance policy to cover such losses. Mobile gadget insurance brand, Protect Your Bubble, offers affordable and comprehensive iPhone insurance that provides coverage for unexpected events like theft, accidental damage, loss and breakdowns outside of the manufacturer’s warranty period.
