Halloween Fear Gets Personal This Year
24 AugPhoenix, AZ (PRWEB) August 24, 2012
The business of fear is about to get personal this year as Arizona’s largest haunted attraction, The Nest, unveils plans for its 2012 Halloween season. The Nest is the first attraction in the world to incorporate social media integration and RFID tracking into its blueprint, allowing thrill seekers to experience fear like never before.
“By integrating Facebook Connect we are taking the entire haunted house experience to a new level and redefining this industry,” said Steve Kopelman, producer of The Nest. “As guests walk through The Nest, they will see and hear their name, see their photos, receive messages and a few more terrifying surprises. We are truly creating their worst nightmare.”
Kopelman partnered with Brightline Interactive, a leader in creative and digital activations and with FISH Technology, known for creating the world’s most interactive technology systems for experiential environments. Through integration of RFID tracking technology, the new sensor system at The Nest automatically follows guests through the haunt, personalizing the experience as they walk from room to room.
“This is a big deal,” added Kopelman. “It’s the greatest innovation in the history of the entertainment and amusement parks utilizing social media, RFID and digital experiences. The Nest is the first in the world to debut this level of technology integration and as we raise the bar for the entire industry, we once again set ourselves apart from the rest.”
Now in its sixth year in Phoenix, Arizona, The Nest is over 50,000 square feet, nestled behind the façade of Rawhide’s busy Main Street. With nearly $1 million in animatronics, and special effects it is no surprise that ABC News and Good Morning America named it the “Spookiest Place in America” and broadcasted live from the Nest during its morning Halloween show. Additionally, the Nest has been named the scariest haunted attraction in the country by MSN and scariest haunted attraction in the west by MTV. “Every year we improve the haunt and bring it to the next level,” added Kopelman. “This year however, we simply redefined the experience.”
The Nest will open on September 28th, 2012. Visitors will have to make their way through a horrifying maze of connecting sections, featuring Bleak – a terrifying, dark labyrinth that defines claustrophobia followed by Mirror Maze, Turmoil 3D – a three dimensional experience, and culminating with a walk through the horrific rooms of The Nest – where Jacob Kell, the serial killer upon whom the attraction is based, will wait with personalized greetings.
General admission is $25.00, with VIP admission available at $40.00 and includes front-of-line-privileges as well as two times through the attraction in a single night. For exact dates and hours of operation, and additional information about The Nest please visit http://www.frightened.com.

Local Online Marketing Goes Social
18 AugNew York, NY (PRWEB) August 17, 2012
5StarControl has applauds Ryan Ruud for making the case for a local social marketing identity. Reputation management site 5StarControl wrote that local businesses are going to blossom with social media marketing – the new local business marketing approach.
In his Business2Community article, Ruud discusses why it is important to concentrate small business marketing locally as well as corporately. He states that having a corporate account on a social media website is only the first step in optimizing a small business’ “local social [marketing] strategy.” Being able to steer marketing using a local, social emphasis helps consumers connect emotionally with local brands. Understanding local “consumer psychology” is an important tool in establishing and maintaining a local brand-recognition presence and business reputation. Additionally, Ruud reports that incorporating a focused, multifaceted approach to social media locally is a great way to “increase marketing efficiency.”
Social media marketing includes accessing consumer awareness through social medial websites such as Facebook, and Twitter by word of mouth, a traditional advertising technique with a new Internet twist. 5StarControl wrote that another great social media tool is creating and maintaining a business account on Yelp.com, a consumer review site that allows customers to share their opinions of recent shopping experiences as well as giving businesses a chance to connect with consumers locally using Yelp’s mobile app. Along with Frank Kern’s materials, 5StarControl states that they regularly recommend that their clients incorporate a Yelp profile into their online marketing strategy.
Consumer psychology, according to Ruud’s article, predisposes customers to shop locally when brand recognition is identified with locally-owned business markets. By connecting consumer brand loyalty to local business markets, small businesses are taking advantage of an invaluable local, social resource. To support this, he cites MainStay Salire’s study, “Social Media ROI: Quantifying the Benefits of Social Media,” which reports that the use of locally defined social media content in marketing can create ten times the consumer exposure over the use of corporate media strategies.
Marketing Efficiency is described by Ruud as the need to “find ways to do more with less” in creating an effective marketing plan with little to no investment required. This creates an outstanding return on investment (ROI), which the MainStay study emphasizes the importance of by showing how providing consumers with engaging local content in their social media outlets is driving new customer awareness of local business markets. 5StarControl reported that using social networking sites like Yelp, Facebook, and Twitter are great sources for connecting to local consumer interests, and that MainStay’s study proves the effectiveness of using local social media platforms to enhance small business marketing online.
5StarControl is a site on local business concepts in the area of online review sites.

Chatwing Development Team Introduces Reliable Chat Widget for Financial Bloggers in Typepad
13 AugDallas, TX (PRWEB) August 13, 2012
Financial blogging is now becoming a fast-growing trend in the Typepad community, based on the month-long research conducted by the Chatwing dev team. Chatwing, a company specialized in making handy chat applications, has recently launched a chat widget to help financial bloggers gain proper leverage in Typepad. Apparently, bloggers from other niches have also benefited from the Chatwing chat tool because of its well-rounded features.

This has helped many users expand their social networks within a certain time. This feature has helped Typepad financial bloggers reach their target markets easily.

It has been proven that interesting blog interaction entices visitors, affecting the rate of blog hits. Chatwing’s free shout box is also compatible to most blogs and websites and the installation process takes only few seconds. Chatwing users can also add unlimited chat boxes in their account dashboards.
The most recent feature introduced by the Chatwing team is the direct link URL option. This has been planned few months ago, and the developers have done several tests to ensure the new option’s stability. With this option, the user can now send out shortlinks to his friends and relatives. Once people click the links, they will now be taken to the user’s free chat box. Financial bloggers can use this option to engage in personalized group chat.
Typepad is just one of the communities that Chatwing is planning to reach out. In the coming months, it is expected that the Chatwing team will introduce its free chat widget to other blogging sites, forums, message boards, and other important online sectors. For a continuous stream of information, the Chatwing team maintains a Facebook page filled with useful content.
