Tattoo Vanish Method Now Offering Dermatologists Opportunity to Add Tattoo Removal as Add On Business

March 8, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

One of the nation’s leading tattoo removal companies is providing a way for dermatologists to expand their practice.

Representatives with Miami-based Tattoo Vanish Method, LLC announced today that it is now offering dermatologists an opportunity to add tattoo removal services as an add-on to their medical practice.

“We are excited to offer this opportunity, which is a great way for dermatologists to add a new stream of revenue for their medical practice,” said Barbara Gonzalez, spokesperson for Tattoo Vanish Method LLC.

Today, there are more than 20,000 tattoo shops in the United States, and a four out of 10 adults between the ages of 18 and 69 have at least one tattoo. That’s 45 million Americans with tattoos. However, many people regret getting their tattoo.

According to a survey conducted by YouGov, almost a quarter of Americans who have tattoos regret at least one of them. This means that, while most people don’t regret their tattoos, there are still plenty of people who do, and as more and more people get tattooed, there will be more and more people regretting them and looking to get them removed.

“Once dermatologists add this service to their practice, they’ll be in the perfect position to increase their overall profits,” Barbara said.
The Tattoo Vanish Method, according to Barbara, is a completely unique, all-natural method for removing tattoos, and best of all, it gets the job done effectively and in fewer treatments than laser tattoo removal, and for a more affordable price.

“The bottom line is that no other method compares to Tattoo Vanish in the United States and around the world but finding a technician who can perform this method isn’t quite as easy as checking the yellow pages,” Barbara stressed, before adding, “Luckily though, we’re here to help. Our professionally trained and certified technicians are located throughout the United States and the world, and we’re here to help you find one. We work hard to ensure that people throughout the world can utilize this one-of-a-kind tattoo removal method.”

Today, she is reaffirming her commitment to this brand mission and renewing her dedication to creating an elevated, intentional environment for the plant-curious, as well as a platform for small, woman-led businesses and creators.

Paver Supply Company Opens New Distribution Yard in Defuniak Springs, FL

March 4, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Paved 2 Perfection, a paver supply company, opened a new distribution yard in Defuniak Springs, Florida on March 2nd, 2021. The company already offers its services in Jacksonville, Florida, and the surrounding areas of Orange Park, Nocatee, St. Augustine, St. Johns County, Yulee, Nassau County, Fernandina Beach, and Macclenny.

The company supplies pavers for projects such as pool patios, driveways, walkways, backyard patios, and even outdoor fireplaces. Paved 2 Perfection says that high quality paving that lasts and looks great is hard to pick out. It requires a designer’s eye for details and an engineer’s knowledge of materials. It is a marriage between science and art that elevates an outdoor space to its best possible aesthetic look, while making it functional and usable at the same time.

Paving is the kind of landscaping that opens up the possible uses of outdoor space. Apart from being a matter of pride for the homeowner, guests will find the area to be refreshing and inviting. It creates a welcoming first impression that will leave guests with a pleasant memory. Apart from adding to a home’s beauty, it also adds value to a property.

Paved 2 Perfection also has a great relationship with contractors and real estate developers in the area. When these companies have large jobs that need to be done on a timeframe, they need to work with a paver supply company they can rely on to not only do a good job, but also make sure it’s completed efficiently. With everything that goes into constructing new homes and buildings, it goes without saying that working with a paver supply company that can take care of all aspects of the job is a must, especially one that uses quality materials, and has a vast inventory to choose from.

As the only authorized Tremron dealer in Defuniak Springs, contractors and real estate developers love the selection that Paved 2 Perfection brings to the table. In addition to that, they also offer delivery of the materials needed for the job in advance. Delivery is crucial for contractors and developers because they do not always have the time, or the equipment, to get all the materials they need to their jobsite. The kind of one-stop-shop that Paved 2 Perfection offers works perfectly for companies that need large paving jobs done quickly, but still with a high level of quality.

There are a lot of material options when it comes to pavers such as concrete, stone, bricks, tiles, and asphalt. The right selection depends on the desired use of the space, the weather, and the presence of focal point installations such as fireplaces. Price is also a factor as some kinds of paving like stone can be expensive. There are other options like sandstone or gravel for the more budget-conscious purchaser. Mixed paving can be an option for those looking to decorate a space with different visual textures.

A spokesperson for the company says, “We pride ourselves on providing the best pavers for any kind of job. We believe that customer satisfaction happens only when excellent service is provided along with a quality product. We are with the customer every step of the way to help them make the right decision. Our experts will help the customer pick out the exact paving that will turn their outdoor area into a natural extension of the house. When you come to us, you are putting your trust in the best people that understand paving thoroughly. We also care deeply about the customer’s experience. There is no other paver company in Florida that matches our service. The new yard will help us bring our expertise to even more people in Defuniak Springs, Destin, Santa Rosa Beach, Fort Walton Beach and all surrounding areas.”

One thing that their customers love about Paved 2 Perfection is the communication they offer during every step of the process. This is especially useful for contracting and development companies that have construction underway. They love being updated as to when the materials are going to be delivered, when the job will be started, when it will be completed, and any complications that might arise during the process. When their customers cannot dedicate their entire lives to ensuring their paving project is completed to their satisfaction, they are comforted in the knowledge that a company like Paved 2 Perfection has their best interests in mind.

To highlight this point, a testimonial highlighted on the company’s website says, “My experience with Paved 2 Perfection was excellent! Ed Vaks gave me a good quote and good recommendations, based on my landscape and the goals I wanted to achieve. When it came time for the installation, everything rolled along smoothly, and I was notified in advance of the materials’ delivery and the schedule. And now I have a couple of “problem areas” beautifully paved! Highly recommended.”

The new distribution yard’s address is 9321 US Highway 331 S, Defuniak Springs, FL 32435. The company can be reach at (850) 398-9574. The company can also be reached via email at paved2perfection@gmail.com. There is a contact form on the company website for those who prefer to use that. Customers can also view the company Facebook page for regular updates.

Square Study Shows How Retailers and Restaurants Are Adapting to Changes in Consumer Behavior and Turning to Technology To Get Back on Track in 2021

February 24, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Today, Square released a new report that reveals how retailers and restaurateurs are taking control of the future by delivering on customers’ evolving expectations — with an intentional focus on technology, operating efficiency, and customer experiences. Square developed the Future of Restaurants and Future of Retail reports to provide a snapshot of what businesses are investing in and what’s working.

“We’re seeing restaurants shift to a model that places more emphasis on the kitchen as the central hub of the operation” Tweet

To uncover these insights, Square collaborated with Wakefield Research to survey restaurateurs, retailers, and consumers across the U.S. Additionally, Square spoke to businesses and industry experts to share how retailers and restaurateurs are facing challenges, embracing innovative solutions, and forging new paths forward in 2021.

“Scrappiness is in our sellers’ DNA and, in 2021, we’re expecting more of the same. It will be more important than ever to find creative ways to meet consumers where they are most comfortable, providing memorable experiences in-store, online, curbside, and everywhere in between,” said Alyssa Henry, Seller Lead at Square.

For example, after chef Anthony Strong closed his popular San Francisco restaurant Prairie last August in the wake of COVID-19, he didn’t give up. He emerged a couple months later with a new concept: He transformed his 1989 Volkswagen van into a mobile dining room, traveling the city to serve up a four-course “glamping” dining experience. While shuttering Prairie was devastating, Strong did what entrepreneurs have done time and again – got back to work and innovated in the face of adversity.

Overwhelmingly, the report found that restaurants and retailers alike are undertaking big changes to existing strategies and adopting new technologies to stay ahead of the curve. For example, we saw retailers increasingly turning to online and social selling to continue serving their customers – in fact:

  • 88% of retailers are now selling online
  • For retailers with one location that sells online, 66% of their revenue comes from online sales
  • 84% of retailers who sell online either already sell on social media or plan to this year
  • Among retailers selling on social media, 40% of their online revenue comes from social selling
  • Online shoppers bought an average of eight products from social media sites directly in the past month, at the time of this survey
  • 74% of retailers plan on using real-time inventory technology this year
  • 72% of consumers prefer delivery over pickup, but only 37% of retailers plan to offer same-day delivery.

“Retail has changed rapidly over the last year,” said Square’s head of eCommerce, David Rusenko. “But the transformation is giving retailers a chance to slow down and invest in doing things smarter across both in-store and online channels. The changes aren’t a way to simply make it through – they’re permanent and redefining what a meaningful retail experience can look like.”

And it’s not just retailers who are seeing massive shifts in 2021, restaurants are also fundamentally reimagining the way they do business to keep their operation running smoothly, improve their bottom line, and continue serving their customers.

  • 91% of restaurants have made, or plan to make, investments in kitchen automation technology.
  • Restaurants expect 62% of their revenue to come from takeout or delivery in 2021.
  • 58% of restaurants prefer to use their own app or website for delivery.
  • Nearly half of restaurant owners or managers plan to continue offering digital menu access using URL or QR codes in 2021
  • 3 in 4 restaurants plan on offering contactless ordering and payment options across all channels, with 61% utilizing contactless payments on-premise
  • 42% of restaurants plan to invest in customer loyalty programs
  • Restaurants that are using online ordering for delivery and takeout expect 62% of revenue to come through those online channels
  • 67% of consumers prefer to use a restaurant’s own website or app for food delivery
  • 92% of restaurant owners and managers are open to experimenting with their menu

“We’re seeing restaurants shift to a model that places more emphasis on the kitchen as the central hub of the operation,” said Bruce Bell, head of Square for Restaurants. “Restaurants are embracing new channels for customers to interact with their business, effectively meeting them wherever they are. Each of these channels represents a revenue stream for the restaurant and they connect to the same kitchen and are all managed by the same centralized POS system.”

Despite a hard year, the future is full of opportunities for restaurateurs and retailers. For a full analysis of the top restaurant and retail trends of 2021, industry insights from Square experts, and real-life examples from innovative Square sellers, you can access the report here. For questions and additional data, insights reach out to press@squareup.com.

Peak Power Inc. Closes Latest Funding Round with Investment from The Atmospheric Fund

February 23, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

The Atmospheric Fund’s investment strengthens Peak Power’s position in the market as a cleantech innovator

Toronto-based Peak Power (Peak) today announced that it has closed funding from The Atmospheric Fund (TAF), representing the fifth investor in Peak’s capital funding round. TAF will join Sensata Technologies, Export Development Canada (EDC), BDC Capital, and Hatch/Canadian Shield as a strategic investor in Peak.

“We have an agenda to put the environment on the balance sheet’, and the investment from TAF will help us strengthen our position in the market to accomplish this.”

TAF brings to the round their focus on carbon emissions reduction, as they have a mandate to advance local solutions to climate change through high-impact investments. Their contribution aligns with Peak’s commitment to decarbonizing energy, the built environment, and mobility through enabling intelligent energy in smart cities. Peak’s smart buildings platform, Peak Insight™, which helps clients reduce their emissions and generate revenue through electricity markets, is already deployed in over 15 million square feet of commercial and industrial real estate in Ontario, New York, and California.

“Our objectives as an impact investor are to make risk-adjusted returns, create carbon reduction, and mobilize capital into climate solutions,” said Tim Stoate, Vice President, Impact Investing at TAF. “Peak Power touches on all of our priorities, particularly because their system enables carbon reduction in both the building and transportation sectors, the highest emitting sources of carbon in our urban region. We’re confident this solution has potential to scale across Canada and beyond, creating an ideal opportunity for investors looking to make a positive impact.”

“TAF backing Peak is a major point of validation for us, proving that we are on the right track to helping our clients achieve their net zero goals. Their support completes an incredible roster of strategic partners and investors that will help us scale Canadian Cleantech across North America and globally,” said Derek Lim Soo, CEO and Co-Founder of Peak Power. Imran Noorani, VP of Strategy and Corporate Development further remarked, “We have an agenda to ‘put the environment on the balance sheet’, and the investment from TAF will help us strengthen our position in the market to accomplish this.”

About Peak Power

Founded in 2015, Peak Power develops AI-powered software to create intelligent energy systems in smart cities. It optimizes the use of synthetic, stationery, and electric vehicle batteries through its offerings: Peak Insight™, Peak Synergy™, and Peak Drive™. Peak Power’s solutions reduce the environmental footprint of their clients while creating revenue streams through the power grid.

About The Atmospheric Fund

Reputation impact heightened in face of pandemic

February 22, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

The most impactful corporate reputations in the UK
The financial value of corporate reputation in the FTSE 350

Some positive news from the pandemic: corporate reputations have helped companies to secure shareholder value through the pandemic and in the UK now account for one in every three pounds on the stock market.

UK company reputations constitute more than a third of the combined market capitalisation of the FTSE 350, worth £823 billion of shareholder value at the start of this year, according to the latest results from analysts at Reputation Dividend.

Based on the detailed study of the stock market every year since 2009, the analysts found that corporate reputations have played a major part in protecting value through the crash, minimising the scale of the decline and fuelling the recovery so far.

Unilever leads, with Astra Zeneca in 2nd place

Reputation contributions for all listed companies were mainly positive this year, with as much as 56.6% for Unilever in top place, indicating value creation over the pandemic.

However, in close to 20 cases they were sufficiently poor as to be a drain on companies’ market caps, and costing shareholders accordingly.

According to Reputation Dividend’s Simon Cole: “Once the initial shock of the pandemic downturn had subsided, investor attention turned to corporate qualities that not only suggested companies are well placed to ride the storm but also, and critically, best positioned to capitalise on the up-turn as and when it comes. The reputational drivers for this recovery include high quality of goods and services, a focus on innovation and, as companies start to plan for the upturn, securing the right kind of talent.”

The study added that while some industries have been hit particularly hard – Hospitality, Travel, Oil – others have benefitted from a combination of rising demand and expectation. Added Sandra Macleod, Director at Reputation Dividend: “reputations will need to carry on playing a major part in order to see companies through to the eventual recovery. Companies need to mobilise them now in order not to miss the boat.”

The full results are available freely here.
