Next Step Living Announces Ways to Lower Electric Bills in the Home

Home Energy Solutions Company Next Step Living?, the leading provider of whole-home energy solutions in the Northeast, Offers Ways to Save Energy and Money

Boston, MA, United States – April 27, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

Just in time for Earth Day, Next Step Living announces some of its best energy-saving tips for all rooms in the home to save homeowners energy and money.

Electronics can play a large part in wasted energy, with “phantom energy” accounting for up to 10% of energy bills. This happens when electronics continue to draw power on standby mode. Here are a few tips for lowering electric bills in the home:

*Unplug any battery chargers, cell phone chargers or power adapters when not in use. Unplugging will ensure that no power is being drained.
*Always turn off the lights when leaving the bedroom or other living spaces when not in use.
*Use inexpensive outlet gaskets to insulate and air seal holes around outlets.
*Invest in electronics that are Energy Star certified to save even more money in the home.

Next Step Living is the leading provider of home energy solutions in the Northeast, with its newest office opening in Purchase, New York in early 2015. Whether looking for solar panels, efficient windows or insulation, Next Step Living offers a number of solutions in its whole-home approach to help make homes more energy-efficient and sustainable. In late 2014, the company expanded its footprint as a thought leader with the creation of HomeEnergy.Tips, designed to help homeowner combat high energy costs.

“Having Next Step Living perform an energy assessment of my home was one of the best decisions I’ve made as a homeowner,” says John Kenny, a Next Step Living customer from New City, New York. “My energy advisor not only explained how my home was using – and losing – energy, but also what improvements I could make that would have the biggest impact on increasing my comfort and lowering utility bills.”

Take the first step, and schedule a home energy assessment.

Zane Becomes the First Canadian Retailer to Offer Larsson & Jennings Watches

The leading fashion retailer partners with Anglo-Swede watch designer to bring Swiss-made minimalist designs to Canada for the first time.

Toronto, Canada – April 27, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

Zane, a leading Toronto fashion accessory retailer, is pleased to announce that they are the first Canadian retailer to offer the Larrson & Jennings line of designer watches.

“We’ve seen Larsson & Jennings get more and more critical praise for their design aesthetics,” says Zane Aburaneh, founder of Zane. “When we got the chance to be the first retailer in Canada to offer their watches, we jumped at it.”

As a retailer, Zane has earned a reputation online, and in its two Toronto stores, as a place to find exclusive, mid-priced fashion accessories from local and international designers, both well-known and up-and-coming.

A former handbag specialist at upscale retailer Holt Renfrew, Zane opened his first online store in 2010 specializing in women’s handbags.

A year later, Zane chose Toronto’s hip Queen St. West neighbourhood for his first pop-up boutique. With “on-the-street” sales soon outpacing the web store, Zane launched a permanent Queen West location, followed in late 2014 by a second outlet in Toronto’s perennially fashionable Yorkville district.

A relative newcomer to watch design, Larsson & Jennings debuted their first line in 2012. The company quickly caught the attention of leading fashion media, including GQ, Harper’s Bazaar and Glamour magazines.

A unique combination of British and Swedish design, for watches with Swiss-made quartz movements, Larsson & Jennings offers both men’s and women’s styles, all featuring their signature “minimalist design aesthetic and classic heritage”.

“You can buy L&J watches online” says Zane, “but when something is fresh and creative, people want to take a closer look – and we’re happy to be the first place for them to that in Canada.”

About Zane
Launched in 2010 by Zane Aburaneh, Zane specializes in exclusive fashion accessories, chosen for their unique style and wearability, at its two Toronto retail boutiques and online at visitzane.com.

Accounting and Company Secretarial Services By SBS Consulting Helps Businesses Achieve Their Financial and Compliance Goals Effectively

“The Singapore Companies Act highlights the importance of employing a Singapore resident Corporate Secretary, within 6 months of incorporation. By offering quality and consistent Company secretarial Services in Singapore, SBS Consulting is all set to lead this service sector.”

Singapore, Singapore – April 27, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

Gone are the days when corporate secretaries were meant to take notes in board meetings or when they used to work as administrative servants of the Board. Today’s corporate secretarial Singapore performs much broader role from being an advisor to the Board for taking responsibility for the company’s corporate governance.

“SBS Consulting has evolved their corporate secretarial services Singapore to assist clients in managing and mitigating the risks of corporate non-compliance. The innovative techniques used by them are coupled with years of professional experience, which eventually helps in easing the administrative burdens from shoulders of company management, across various functional boundaries”, said Ms. Meena, the business head of SBS Consulting.

After the introduction of Sarbanes-Oxley and ongoing changes in the legal and corporate environment, the Singapore companies started to feel the unprecedented need to implement rigorous internal controls. Singaporean companies more than ever started caring and ensuring the effective management of legal entities on a global basis. Obviously, this is one of the greatest challenges and an onerous responsibility faced by the directors of the Singaporean companies.

ACRA on a yearly basis sends thousands of summonses to different companies and their directors due to non-compliance with the Singapore Companies Act. This might be the reason; Company directors more than ever are feeling the increasing pressure of evolving legislative requirements that are governed and regulating the administration of their companies. Staying compliant and maintaining up-to-date records has become more complex and time-consuming for them.

“Effective and efficient corporate secretary services will surely help in guiding companies to sail seamlessly through the changes and challenges. A competitive firm offering company secretary service eases the administrative burden and allows company directors and managers to focus on the core responsibility of running business operations”, said Ms. Meena.

According to the Companies Act, the appointed company secretary should be a natural person and an ordinary resident of Singapore with adequate knowledge and experience to discharge functions of the company secretary. Only if the director happens to be the sole director of a company he/she is allowed to resume the duties of company secretary.

An employee of SBS Consulting, commented, “By following the Code of Corporate Governance 2005 and the Singapore Association of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (SAICSA)’s good governance guide, SBS Consulting has managed to remold their services for providing quality and compliant services. The company secretary professionals from SBS are qualified and experienced enough to take on additional duties, related to accounting, legal, human resource and general administration”.

Maintaining proper books of accounts is one of the most crucial parts of every business. Managing accounts and account books appropriately and precisely helps a great deal in running business operations with added ease and convenience. “Those looking for renowned accounting firms in Singapore, SBS Consulting are surely the name filled with the zeal to be better than the rest”, said Ms. Meena.

Taking a hint from what Ms. Meena said, her colleague continued, “The best thing about SBS is helping clients to prepare both interim financial statements, as well as an annual financial statement. Apart from that the proficiency of the firm in maintaining general ledger helps business owners understand their financial position in the most accurate way, eventually leading them to make profitable business decisions”.

“Small and medium enterprises are booming in Singapore and those are the ones committing mistakes and facing penalty charges for non-compliance issues. With the combined corporate secretary services and specialized accounting for small business, definitely these companies will never face any compliance issues and accounting problems”, concluded Ms. Meena.

About SBS

SBS Consulting with its consistent methodology and streamlined corporate services has aligned corporate secretarial services for achieving operational efficiency and satisfactory service quality. By maintaining a balance between the complex process of corporate compliance and strict statutory timeline, SBS offers company secretary services either as a stand-alone service or with a strategic combination of Accounting, Taxation, Auditing or Bookkeeping services.

RIBA Venues– Conference Levels Are at a Highdespite a Slow Economy

Although most industries are struggling due to a slow economy, the demand for conferences is at a high which indicates the change in the way companies do business.

27 April 2015 – United Kingdom – Bookings numbers are at a high for many conference room providers despite the poor economy where many other businesses are struggling for sales. Much of this demand is because of the way companies are now doing business.

Many companies are trying hard to reduce spending to an absolute minimum with many only spending on absolute essential products. Businesses are buying based on risk rather than price as companies can no longer afford to take risks and buy products or services on a whim. Conferences allow companies to get in front of prospective clients and demonstrate why their products or services are needed and most importantly, why they represent a low risk.

More and more companies are recognising the change in the way companies do business and are holding regular conferences. Businesses are much more likely to attend a conference where they can learn more about a particular product or service than they are to agree to a sales meeting.

Stephanie Ellrott from RIBA Venues, a conference venue in London, said “it was predicted that conference numbers would reduce in the recession especially with the rise of the digital age and that more companies would run online conferences instead to cut costs. Although online conferences are popular, businesses have found that the effectiveness of online conferences is not as high because online conferences lack the personal touch.”

Despite the slow economy, companies that have innovative sales and marketing strategies are thriving. This shows that there is plenty of business out there but companies have to think smart and have an effective sales strategy to be successful.

MIAMI – April 27, 2015 – Miami Ironside, a creative district in Miami’s historic Upper Eastside, will host a series of events and exhibitions this May to celebrate MAISON & OBJET AMERICAS, the North American extension of Europe’s leading showcase for design and decor professionals. As part of the celebration, Miami Ironside will present an innovative design installation by Florida International University’s College of Architecture + The Arts and recent works by MAISON & OBJET designer of the year recipient Zanini de Zanine from Brazil and VONDOM furniture creations by French designer Eugeni Quitllet.

Less Mess Storage Inc. Releases Stub Year Financial Results and Participates In World Self-Storage Expo

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 27, 2015 / Less Mess Storage Inc. (“Less Mess” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:LMS) is pleased to announce the filing of its audited financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the four months ended December 31, 2014. The filing of this audited stub period now brings Less Mess in line with a calendar year for future financial reporting.

For the four months ended December 31, 2014, the Company had a loss of $138,423 compared to a loss of $1,328,463 for the year ended August 31, 2014. This improvement is mainly attributable to the significant transaction costs incurred with the acquisition of its self-storage business on April 28, 2014 (the “Transaction”), losses incurred from Company’s previous business not related to self-storage, and high interest temporarily paid on bond debt used to complete the Transaction, all of which applied during the previous financial period. Some Transaction related costs and high bond interest costs also applied during the current reporting period, but on a more limited basis. 

The Company’s operational EBITDA has shown steady growth since the Transaction, and increased again in the current period to $2,313,944 on an annualized basis, from $2,171,446 in the previous period. This represents a 6.6% increase from the previous reported period, and a 12% increase at constant exchange rates. Occupancy rates, averaging over 80% by number of lockers, and revenues across the portfolio have held steady through the winter months, which can often be a slower time for the self-storage business.

Please refer to the full financial statements and corresponding management discussion and analysis for further discussion of the numbers from the current reporting period including sales revenues and EBITDA.

The Company is also pleased to announce that on April 8 Guy Pinsent, Less Mess President and CEO, participated on an expert discussion panel at the Inside Self-Storage World Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. The panel discussed the growth of self-storage outside North American markets, and gave insight on the specific challenges faced by self-storage operators in international markets. Other panel participants hailed from South America, Australia, Dubai and the United Kingdom.

Guy Pinsent, President and CEO of Less Mess Storage, commented:

“International growth of the self-storage market is obviously becoming a more important topic for conversation. Self-storage started in North America in the 60’s and has grown exponentially. Self-storage was established in the UK in the 80’s and has grown to over 1,000 stores since then. We see the same trend developing in Western Europe, and especially in Germany, which borders Poland and the Czech Republic. With just a fraction of the market penetration we are seeing in other regions, the self-storage market in Central Europe is poised to grow rapidly over the next decade.”
