No More Fighting Crowds On Sales Days

No More Fighting Crowds On Sales Days

Discount Quest's interviews with consumers and its web marketing experiences revealed that women dominate in web shopping and that the cost of getting items to the front door dampened their enthusiasm to go online to make their purchases. When Discount Quest launched in December, 2005, their site, built to attract women shoppers, included free shipping offers as a featured area, so that its visitors could immediately benefit from free shipping on any purchase.

Nashua, NH (PRWEB) January 27, 2006

Now bargain hunters can shop comfortably without fighting overpowering crowds during January white sales, summer sales, post-holiday sales or any other sales offered throughout the entire year. A new website, Discount Quest (www. discountquest. com), has solved that problem by posting all merchandise discounted daily and weekly from such upscale stores as Barnes & Noble, Eddie Bauer, Circuit City, Old Navy, Appetizers-To-Go, Brookstone, Macy's, Gardener's Supply, Casual Male Big and Tall, David's Cookies, Lane Bryant, Gap, World of Watches and dozens of other national companies. In addition to the name-brand stores, discounts are also offered to prudent travelers through Country Inns & Suites and Expedia.

Discount Quest believed that shipping costs charged by many merchants presented a barrier for many online shoppers. "We decided that we would feature a free shipping area on the site that highlighted shipping-friendly etailers, so as to give our visitors an easy view into where they could save the most," Marsha McKnight explains. "We show where free shipping is offered on any purchase or with minimum purchase to any address in the continental U. S." Shoppers also get the benefit of discounts in addition to free shipping from some stores.

A "Tips & Trends" column, specifically directed to women over 35, carries news articles on the latest fashions, beauty, health and fitness, travel tips, gardening and home décor ideas. “There are other web sites offering discounts, but very few seem to have an ambiance for women or provide stories of interest to women, who after all make up the majority of shoppers online. We knew we wanted to change that.”

Launched in December 2005, http://www. discountquest. com (http://www. discountquest. com) is geared to serve the smart but value-conscious shopper who also wants to enjoy shopping from home by saving on shipping costs, read a few articles about current styles and trends, get information on new products for the home or garden, and purchase items at discounted prices.

New Study Shows Realtors Looking for Real Life

New Study Shows Realtors Looking for Real Life

Although many Realtors report that their job gives them more flexibility than traditional office work, they still tend to work very long hours. Long hours and productivity used to go hand in hand -- but recent evidence shows that this pattern of working is taking its toll.

Queensland, Australia (PRWEB) November 14, 2006

A recent study conducted by Dr Jackie Holt of over 150 Australian real estate professionals found that over 30% had scores indicating psychological distress, 75% had physical and behavioural signs of stress and over 57% had problems with work/life balance. As psychological distress is reported to occur in the general population at levels of around 20%, this finding of over 30% is of concern. One of the highlighted concerns was the reported high level of fatigue.

According to Dr Jackie Holt, "Once we work more than 48 hours per week, there is increased competition between sleep and other activities of daily living. This results in both physical and emotional fatigue. In fact, the effects of increased levels of fatigue have been compared to the effects of moderate alcohol intoxication."

There is evidence that shows a link between fatigue and decreased productivity. For those whose work involves mainly thinking activities, such as Realtors, fatigue is associated with increased physical and emotional disorders, decreased decision making ability, poor communication, inability to control mood and behavior, as well as increased mistakes and accidents.

As well as taking a toll on productivity, long work hours are detrimental to life balance. The results from this research also echo the findings of US research. A survey of 1000 Realtors found that over half the family members of Realtors were unhappy with their real estate spouses working habits and that 35% of Realtors report that they do not have enough time for their families.

Dr Holt said, "Rightly or wrongly, long hours are often perceived as a sign of commitment and competence. Realtors who work long hours are rewarded by many organisations in terms of recognition, approval, promotion and being a part of the 'in crowd'."

"Challenging this accepted culture of long hours will difficult. Outdated notions of productivity, customer service and business practices mean that real estate is still perceived as being a profession that requires you to be on call 24/7. However, we are only now beginning to see the true costs of long working hours; not only on the individual but also on their families, the community and the organisation. If this culture is to change, work/life balance must move from being viewed as a warm and fuzzy concept to an essential personal and organizational necessity."

D. focused on identifying effective strategies to reduce psychological distress amongst doctors and to assist them to identify ways to create work/life balance.

Indiana Inventor Creates Full Body Heated Massage Gloves After Taking Mom's Advice

Indiana Inventor Creates Full Body Heated Massage Gloves After Taking Mom's Advice

Wonderfully relaxing heated massage gloves that provide a penetrating low temperature full body, heated massage. They stimulate muscles and awaken the mind, body and spirit.

South Bend, IN (PRWEB) March 25, 2006

Three years ago, 32-year-old Inventor Llyas El-Amin was giving his mother a shoulder massage, when she casually said to him, "It really would be great if you had some heat on your hands." Bing! Light bulb goes off in his head. He said to himself, "Sounds too simple. Someone has to have already done that." But to his surprise, it had not been done.

Having a little artistic background helped El-Amin draft initial drawings in order to conceptualize a glove that would distribute heat from the inside out. After countless hours of research about different heat massage therapy products, El-Amin came up with Bean's massage gloves. The gloves are smooth soft, form-fitting gloves made with pockets on the inside of the palm, where you can insert air-activated heat packs providing a low temperature heated massage for the body and hands. "After two years of good thorough research of a heating source, fabric and stitching to create the formfitting design, I was able to get a few prototypes done". El-Amin said.

After registering his invention with the U. S patent and Trademark Office, El-Amin spent time creating small user groups of about 20 to 30 massage enthusiasts. The response was overwhelming and people who liked the idea of having heat massage therapy at home wanted to keep the prototypes. "At that point, I knew I had invented something that would help thousands of people enjoy a at home heated massage, with a revolutionary product". El-Amin said.

Massage therapy is exploding each new year. According to the American Massage Therapy Association, 28% of adult Americans got a massage within the last five years. Of that 28%, 23% got them for relaxation and stress reduction, 53% for health related-reasons, and 15% to pamper themselves. Twenty-five percent of Americans expect to get a massage within the next 12 months. El-Amin says he has something just for that a new disposable soft cotton lisle glove that can be thrown away after each use. " This is what massage therapist have been needing and wanting, but it is also for the at home users as well".

El-Amin has done his homework in the industry, currently there are no marketed massage products or patents that even resemble Bean's Heat Massage Gloves.

Creations & Things has several other products that will be coming soon. El-Amin plans on attending various tradeshows and plans on meeting with massage schools around the country.

Bean's Heat Massage Lycra half Gloves can be used for:

Carpal tunnel and arthritis and massage

Bean's Heat Massage Lycra and Cotton whole glove can be used to:

Relax and re-energize

Relieve stress and tension

Relieve aches and pains

Improve circulation

Improve lymphatic drainage

It is a great holiday gift, a popular product for chiropractors offices for heat therapy after adjustments. The disposable glove it is a good seller in spas and beauty salons. Massage therapists and sport trainers have found it to be a useful product as well
