3C Contact Services weighs in on a how Bitcoins could shake up customer loyalty programs.

Toronto, Canada – July 21, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

3C Contact Services (www.3CContactServices.com), North America’s premier cost-effective provider of contact center solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, is weighing in on recent statements that Bitcoins could shake up customer loyalty programs.

According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, many retailers that offer reward programs, such as frequent flyer miles, frequent hotel guest points, and customer loyalty rewards, will not recognize Bitcoins, or “crypto-reward” tokens. They have, however, inspired many retailers to follow a similar model for their rewards programs. (Source: Casey, M.J., “BitBeat: How Bitcoin Technology Could Shake-up Loyalty-Points Business,” Wall Street Journal, July 2, 2015; http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2015/07/02/bitbeat-how-bitcoin-technology-could-shake-up-the-loyalty-points-business/.)

“As we continue to move towards being a ‘cashless society,’ we can expect to see more and more retailers adopt a form of currency similar to Bitcoins,” says Damian Reyes, customer service manager at 3C Contact Services. “Many retailers are taking an ‘if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em’ stance when it comes to Bitcoins.”

For many retailers, they are looking at adopting something similar to a Bitcoin, but with the same value— a tradable digital token that can be used universally and is transparent for business owners. This could prove to be especially beneficial for business where rather than hiring consultants to find out their business’ value, they could simply look at the market value of their version of “Bitcoins” to evaluate customer loyalty and the value of their digital tokens. (Source: Ibid.)

“Making the tokens tradable is advantageous for customers as well,” notes Reyes. “If they wanted to purchase an item, such as a power tool or other high-end item, they could take their coins from other retailers and transfer them in order to make the purchase.”

Another advantage, Reyes explains, is that retailers can buy up a currency that is similar to a Bitcoin at a discounted value and use it against any future debts, or sell them to customers for cash if the token’s value outstrips demand.

“Even if retailers choose not to accept Bitcoins, they are rapidly learning their value,” concludes Reyes. “Many organizations are looking at adopting similar rewards programs for their customers and as the examples prove, this is a program that can be highly valuable for customers. Many companies who have adopted rewards programs that use a currency similar to Bitcoins have experienced growth. The switch seems to be just good business.”

The global progress in technologies is making lives simpler and safer. Nanotechnology is one such field which is dynamically progressing and is contributing to the development of several industries, including food and beverages packaging.

New York, United States – July 21, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

A report recently published by Persistence Market Research studies the key factors that drive and inhibit the global nano-enabled packaging market. The report, titled “Global Market Study on Nano-Enabled Packaging For Food and Beverages: Intelligent Packaging to Witness Highest Growth by 2020”, indicates that growing at a 12.7% CAGR from 2014 to 2020, nano-enabled packaging for the food and beverages industry is likely to rise from US$6.5 billion in 2013 to US$15.0 billion by 2020.

While nanomaterials are used by a wide range of industries, its usage by the food and beverages industry for packaging holds immense potential. Nanomaterials are used for packaging meat products, bakery products, fruits and vegetables, beverages, prepared foods, and others. Nano-enabled packaging increases the shelf life of food products and beverages compared to traditional plastic packaging and as a result, the demand for the same has grown with the development of the food and beverages sector. Increasing demand for frozen and processed food and rise in food-led export activities has fueled the nano-enabled packaging market.

Another factor that drives the global nano-enabled packaging market is the surging demand for meat and meat products around the world. The spurt in meat exports in the U.S. and India indicate growing demand for nano-enabled packaging in these countries. The rise in disposable income and increase in the employed female population in developing countries has resulted in the escalating demand for prepared foods. This has in turn accentuated the nano-enabled packaging market.

The introduction of intelligent nano-enabled packaging is a key growth driver for the nano-enabled packaging market. This kind of packaging allows customers to determine the freshness of food products and also alerts consumers regarding the presence of fungi, microbes, gases, or chemical contaminants in the food. Consumers have always pressured food manufacturing and packaging companies to use advanced packaging solutions and this has yielded a positive outcome. For instance, the U.S. FDA in January 2013 released its proposal to lay down scientific standards for holding, growing, harvesting, and packing foreign and domestic farms. This is anticipated to increase the scope for the nano-enabled packaging market in the years to come.

Cost-saving benefits of nano-enabled packaging and efforts by companies to enhance the brand image by improving the quality of packaging are some of the other factors boosting the global nano packaging market. Industry experts forecast that new inventions and advancements in technology are likely to increase the scope for nano-enabled packaging in the food and beverages market. Some of the key companies operating in this space are Sealed Air, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, L.L.C., Klöckner Pentaplast, Amcor Limited, Tetra Pak International S.A., and Bemis Company, Inc.

On the flip side, concern from regulatory bodies is hampering the growth of the nano-enabled packaging market. Some nanomaterials are believed to be incompatible with specific food products and can have an adverse effect on the health of humans and animals. These materials do not pass the safety assessment test or the guidelines laid down by the US FDA. In addition, the U.S. Central Federal Register also requires manufacturers to acquire pre-market approvals for indirect food additives such as nanomaterials. This has negatively impacted the growth of nano-enabled packaging in the food and beverages industry.

By geography, the global paints and coatings market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). Asia Pacific is currently leading the global paints and coatings market, trailed by Europe and North America. Developing markets of Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East are experiencing a boom in their construction sector. The number of projects for constructing new residential and commercial buildings is increasing drastically every year in these regions. This is the primary factor fueling the growth of the Asia Pacific paints and coatings market.

Increasing urbanization and rising disposable incomes are also contributing to the growth of this regional segment of the global paints and coatings industry. Furthermore, the expanding consumer goods and automotive industries in Asia Pacific will also fuel the growth of this regional market. In 2010, China emerged as the largest market for passenger cars, surpassing the U.S. In addition to this, the government in China has been inviting public-private partnership programs in the past few years for various commercial construction projects in the nation. This will also help growth prospects of the market for paints and coatings in China.

Besides China, India is also contributing a great deal to the growth of the Asia Pacific paints and coatings market. The real estate sector in India has grown in the past decade due to the rising per capita income in this nation.Rapidly rising urbanization, along with the entry of several MNCs in this country, has elevated the number of corporate construction activities in this nation. Moreover, the change in the government ofIndia after the 2014 elections has attracted a large number of neighboring nations to develop trade relations, which is projected to boost commerce in the nation and propel the paints and coatings sector in this country.

The global paints and coatings market will also benefit from the increasing number of construction activities in Malaysia. The implementation of the 10-year economic plan (2011 to 2020)in Malaysia, called the Economic Transformation Program (ETP), has fueled construction activities. Due to this plan, private market sectors and foreign investors in the construction sector are backed by the government. Furthermore, the government in the Philippines announced in 2010 their public-private partnership that facilitates development projects at local and national levels. These trends will fuel the overall Asia Pacific paints and coatings market.

Summer vegetables will be thoroughly enjoyed this year and the availability of the Very Healthy Spiral Slicer makes the preparation and versatility of the vegetables even greater. Just about everything from squashes to carrots can be used to create nutritious and tasty veggie noodles.

Los Angeles, California, United States – July 21, 2015 /PressCable/ —

As the summer approaches, Americans prepare to enjoy the health benefits of the season’s vegetables.

It is expected that Americans will eat more vegetables than ever this summer, thanks to the continued nationwide focus on promoting the importance of healthy eating. While obesity remains a serious health concern across the country, more and more individuals and families are making a conscious effort to improve their health, beginning with their diets. As the summer season approaches, the availability of nutritious and tasty summer veggies naturally increases, and everyone is encouraged to make the most of their local produce.

Another factor that makes vegetables more appealing to the masses is the availability of the spiral slicer, an innovative new kitchen gadget that has been making headlines across the country for its copious benefits. The Very Healthy Spiral Slicer makes preparing vegetables quick and incredibly easy, even for someone with zero skill or experience in the kitchen. The resulting spirals can be used in a range of dishes in order to replace ingredients high in sugar or fat and lacking in vitamins and nutrients. Varietyland’s Spiral Slicer even comes with a cookbook and starter guide to provide both beginners and those more experienced in the kitchen with some great recipe ideas.

Many of the tastiest and healthiest summer vegetables make the ideal ingredients to use with the Very Healthy Spiral Slicer. The handheld device is most effective when used with long, hard vegetables, which will produce voluminous and crisp spirals. Zucchini, squashes, cucumber and radishes are just a few veggies that are currently coming into season and can be used to great effect with the spiral slicer. This summer will see a lot of people eating light and refreshing salads made in this way, as well as stir-fries and pasta style dishes. Zoodles, which are spiralized noodles made from zucchini are making a big impression with health conscious individuals and celebrities for their ability to replace pasta and eliminate the carbs.

Spiralized vegetables are unlikely to replace the much loved summer BBQ, but salads and other vegetable-based dishes make the perfect side dish or accompaniment to a mixed grill. The bright colors and appearance of the spirals is fun and attractive, and the Very Healthy Spiral Slicer has even been found to encourage children’s interest in eating more vegetables. With an abundance of summer veggies coming into season, plus the spiral slicer to make the preparation simple, it’s easy to understand why more American’s will be enjoying their vegetables this year.

JOHOR BAHRU, MALAYSIA – July 21, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

The prices of petrol have been known to rise quickly but fall slowly, and they do undoubtedly put a noticeable dent in car owners’ wallets. With petrol prices continuing to fluctuate all throughout, automakers face a pressing need for fuel-efficient power. What better way than to install turbochargers in cars, which will result in an exponential increase in power output without using more fuel.
