Bill Lerner – Examines the History of New York City’s Parking Industry

Leading the industry into the new era, Bill Lerner is embracing modern technological changes in a variety of ways, including the offering of electric charging stations at select locations.

NEW YORK CITY, NY – March 29, 2017 /MarketersMedia/

As the CEO of New York City’s largest privately owned parking facilities, Bill Lerner has first hand experience with the growth and evolution of its lots and garages. For Lerner, parking has always been a family trade, beginning with his father’s ownership of several properties in the 1960s and 70s. By the time he entered the industry in 1978, there were 12 locations managed by Imperial Parking, the original name of the company. Today, iPark is responsible for over 130 garages in the New York area, with more on the horizon.

New York City has always been one of the main epicenters of parking innovation, as the popularity of the automobile in urban areas rose substantially upon introduction. By 1929, over 23 million cars were driving on American roads, creating a rapidly growing problem in major cities. The issue continued to worsen over the coming decades as cities struggled to accommodate the massive influx of these vehicles. Lerner’s father operated a gas station and adjacent parking lot during the 1940s and 50s, and quickly recognized the opportunity. “That’s where he saw the need for parking in the city of New York, when people came to work during the day,” Lerner said to The Atlantic. “Especially after World War II, when all the G.I.s were coming back from Europe and they had learned to drive Jeeps while over in Europe. They were given money by the government under the G.I. Bill…it really created a need to have garages in New York.”

The city’s earliest parking garages were much more regal than today’s versions, operating as fully enclosed buildings that often included professional attendants who handled the parking for the customer. Some even contained a fully staffed gas-and-service station, and others provided babysitting while drivers shopped nearby. By the 1950s, New York City was in the midst of a construction boom for parking garages, and self-service eventually became the norm. Innovations in building design, materials, and vehicle durability eventually led to the open-air, concrete structures that are now standard. Leading the industry into the new era, Bill Lerner is embracing modern technological changes in a variety of ways, including the offering of electric charging stations at select locations.

Bill Lerner is the President and CEO of iPark, New York’s largest family-owned parking garage entity. Upon graduating from the University of Colorado with a degree in Business, Bill officially joined his family’s company, where he began to strategically redevelop its operational processes. Today, he personally oversees all technological transitions, placing iPark at the forefront of the parking industry’s evolution as the company further expands into new locations. A philanthropist at heart, Bill devotes his spare time to a number of charitable causes, most notably Billy4Kids; a nonprofit organization he founded that works to provide shoes for underprivileged children around the world.

Daniel Yomtobian – Educates The Public About Advertise.com’s Text-Based Banner Ads

The goal for advertising campaigns is to reach the targeted demographic as directly as possible. This has redefined the entire Internet marketing industry – with companies like Yomtobian’s Advertise.com leading the way in both innovation and results.

LOS ANGELES, CA – March 29, 2017 /MarketersMedia/

A landmark digital implementation platform – Advertise.com’s new text-based banner ads popularly known as Adable is designed to offer contextually congruent and relevant textual ads that are related to a website’s own tune and content. Daniel Yomtobian, Founder and CEO of Advertise.com, notes that the technology has been redesigned by combining both contextual and behavioral data to achieve more engaging advertisements with a higher relevancy to its viewer. With immediate ad delivery based on the content users are already engaging with, Adable ensures a much greater ROI for advertisers, as well as, a more useful set of ads for the user. From a marketing perspective, the product connects the best on both sides of the marketing spectrum for more specific targeted results.

The goal for advertising campaigns is to reach the targeted demographic as directly as possible. This has redefined the entire Internet marketing industry – with companies like Yomtobian’s Advertise.com leading the way in both innovation and results. Old-fashioned Internet-based advertising primarily focused on the cost-per-impression (CPI). Early on, Daniel Yomtobian recognized the problem with traditional CPI payments for banner ads; it inevitably leads to wasted money. In efforts to improve the overall marketing return-on-investment, contextual and relevance-based advertising was introduced. This type of relevance is precisely where Adable can achieve an even better ROI for advertisers. Adable’s contextual advertising product addresses these problems in two important ways. The technology automatically assures that relevant ads are being directly published onto sites that connect with its visitors. Secondly, the platform allows for a seamless integration within a site’s current design. This dual focus permits site owners to interweave the Adable technology into their websites without disrupting the user experience. Users are able to enjoy the site they’re visiting – while seeing contextually relevant, non-intrusive text-based ads.

Adable’s customizable platform offers an impressive range of benefits for advertisers. It allows for a variety of different ad sizes for simple integration with any page layout. Ad unit sizes range from 728×90 to 300×600 in any combination advertisers require. Beyond the dimensions, advertisers can also customize the ad unit with multiple color options for title, text, and arrows to match a site’s color scheme. The ads can even seamlessly integrate within mobile-optimized sites, meaning they will reach their targeted audience no matter where they are. Finally, the competitive CPI yields excellent results for advertisers across a breadth of industries. According to Daniel Yomtobian, all of these benefits come together to create a better user experience for site visitors. This level of engagement also yields a better result for marketing campaigns.

Daniel Yomtobian originally founded Advertise.com in 2001, and since then the company has grown into the world’s largest privately held keyword pay-per-click (PPC) network. Yomtobian is proud of his company’s success, “We launched Advertise.com to provide advertisers and publishers a new value proposition — effective, affordable, and easy-to-use advertising campaigns all under one roof.” From his early start as a web designer and Internet marketer, Daniel Yomtobian has helped thousands of businesses drive targeted visitors to their websites. Today, Daniel is considered a pioneer in the online advertising industry and was recently described by C-Suite Quarterly as a “…young leader [who] will continue to play an important role in shaping the online world of tomorrow”.

Oakland, United States – March 29, 2017 /PressCable/

Oakland based pest control experts, PestResponders, have launched a new website. PestResponders provide pest control services, including eradicating rodents, cockroaches and bedbugs, for Oakland and the surrounding areas in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

PestResponders explain that they view pest problems from the customer’s point of view and understand the impact of finding pests in the home. They also understand that people want professional and rapid help without having to trawl the internet for a good service.

They state that they have designed their service so that customer’s can call one number and they can be assured that their problem will be dealt with promptly, discreetly and properly. They select their partners very carefully using customer testimonials, reviews of customer feedback and through their own secret shopper procedures.

Now that spring is here and summer is on its way, peak growing season for pests is approaching rapidly. All pests will be on the lookout for food and water and will enter houses in search of it. It is also the time of year when people begin to tidying their yards and garages and it is very easy to disturb pests, particularly ants, termites and ticks.

PestResponders will use a integrated pest management approach and will consider each customer’s problems on an individual basis. They will then create a plan to solve the pest problem whilst minimizing risk to people, property, the environment and ecology. A combination of biological controls, education, physical controls and advice will be administered.

Each pest problem responds differently to treatment and sometime all a customer needs is a one off treatment service. However some problems are persistent and keep coming back, such as rodents and ants. In this case PestResponders also offer a regular service contract wher they arrive periodically to re-inspect and administer their control mediums, ensuring their customer stays pest free.

Raj Prem – Pleased To Announce The Launch Of A Documentary Book About His Career In Music Photography

After starting in a career of music journalism, it quickly became clear that Raj Prem was more interested in the images of his favorite musicians rather than the stories on which he would report.

NEW YORK, NY – March 29, 2017 /MarketersMedia/

Talented photography collector known as an arts virtuoso with global recognition, Raj Prem has uncovered some of the most prominent, previously unseen works of art, as he argues that the 1960s -1970s were the most iconic period in the history of Rock ‘n’ Roll music. With legendary groups such as The Rolling Stones and The Beatles turning the music world on its head, it was a time in history that changed the landscape for the future. The increased availability of portable photography meant that the combination of artistic passion with the mirroring of the music resulted in new pictures being taken of these musicians. Today, these remain some of the most iconic photographs ever taken. It is due to passionate individuals like the internationally renowned curator Raj Prem that many of these behind-the-scenes photographs can be viewed by the public. Now, Prem is preparing to publish a book about his documented career in music photography.

After starting in a career of music journalism, it quickly became clear that Raj Prem was more interested in the images of his favorite musicians rather than the stories on which he would report. His insider’s view combined with tireless research revealed that top photographers had a myriad of work as stunning, if not more so, than their most famous pictures. He also realized that non-professionals who frequented the musicians’ inner circles would often have memorable images of equal value. It was in this way that he became one of the pioneers of displaying music photography as fine art.

When asked why he decided to write a book about his career, he explained: “Because so many people have asked me to do it!” With nearly 20 years’ experience working alongside the most valued music photographers in the world, it is certain that there will be a host of incredible stories to be told. The book will be available both online and in stores, and will feature interviews with top artists along with other industry leaders like Philip Townsend and Bruce Fleming. It is the autobiographical material, however, that many will be most interested in: reading the first-person account of what it entails to be the main organizer of historical exhibitions, such as one of the greatest Beatles displays of all time and the definitive Rolling Stones retrospective “The Decca Years.” Prem is in discussions with two publishing houses, which wish to distribute the yet untitled book.

Prem first became enthralled with Rock ‘n’ Roll after witnessing one The Who’s incendiary performances in the late 60’s, which he claims changed his life – his ‘ Damascene conversion’ as he describes it. The Who were for a brief period his favorite band, and he was an ‘extra’ in the 1974 film adaptation of The Who’s ‘ Tommy’, directed by Ken Russell. Prem describes Pete Townsend of The Who as, “the most impressive musician I ever met. The Who were iconoclasts, rock’s greatest terrorists, unlike The Stones who were cultural icons but never truly revolutionary. The Who changed my life with their transcendent performances, though I had difficulty reconciling Townsend’s capacity for shocking violence with his often articulate thoughtful pronouncements, indicative of a questing intellect”.

Raj Prem is one of the world’s most highly-respected curators and collectors of rock music photography. To date, his Raj Prem Fine Art Photography has worked with some of the leading photographers from the 60s and early 70s, including Robert Freeman, Michael Joseph, Iain Macmillan, Michael Cooper, Peter Webb, Jerry Schatzberg, Dominique Tarlê, Terry O’Neill, and Pattie Boyd. He has also curated exhibitions or facilitated the use of photographs featuring rock royalty such as The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and others either through his relationships with the photographers or with his own world-famous Raj Prem Collection. His exhibitions and private collections feature some of the most iconic images from the 1960s and 70s. He has staged almost 100 exhibitions in just under two decades in countries including the USA, UK, Dubai, Hong Kong, Japan, and the Netherlands. He often collaborates with the Atlas Gallery, Snap Gallery, and Proud Galleries in London and San Francisco’s SFAE Gallery.

Marcus Hiles – Continuously Supports Green Forestry by Donating 59 Acres of Land for Community Parks

Urban parks and wilderness environments increase the health and well-being of the citizens who live nearby and are fundamental resource for strengthening American cities.

DALLAS, TX – March 29, 2017 /MarketersMedia/

Modern neighborhoods are built on the concept of sustainability, environmental stewardship, and pursuing a healthy lifestyle, as the urban planning expert put a greater emphasis on increasing open green areas throughout the country. As a developer of residential communities in the Dallas area, Marcus Hiles is honored to be able to donate land for community parks and provide the much-needed property for natural recreation spaces. Trees, plants and wildlife are essential for life and allow families, couples and individuals a place for relaxation. These spots can only thrive through the generous work and dedication of people and businesses, such as Hiles, devoted to environmentally friendly efforts.

Urban parks and wilderness environments increase the health and well-being of the citizens who live nearby and are fundamental resource for strengthening American cities. The U.S. Centre for Disease Control (CDC) research shows an exciting and positive correlation between access to community areas and likelihood of someone choosing to exercise. Having open recreation space in the vicinity of where people live encourages physical activity, fellowship and fun. Parks often become the unique hub of a city and are an investment in the growth of the neighborhood. Knowing the importance of public space for leisure and enjoyment of nature, Marcus Hiles has contributed to the transformation of multiple Texas cities with his generous gift. Inspired to create amazing places to live, these community parks are an essential part of his vision. His mandate for eco-friendly business extends to his company that annually plants trees by the thousands. Neighborhoods with access to green space, surrounded by living things, vegetation and wildlife are healthier, friendlier, more inviting and prosperous.

The benefits of urban wildernesses enhance the local eco-system in many positive ways. Not only do trees and plants create life-giving oxygen; they play a crucial role in retaining ground and rain water, and removing toxins from the surrounding air. American Forests is an organisation that studies municipal forests and the repercussions of declining natural areas in cities. They educate and provide fascinating information like the fact that two trees can make enough oxygen for one person and can absorb twenty pounds of air pollution every year. Parks also provide shade, cooling down a significant area and reducing heat retention. Air-conditioning requirements are lower in a community with ample canopy coverage. A car that is placed in the shade stays fifty degrees cooler than one parked in the sun. In urban locations natural spaces must be created and maintained through human intervention and assistance.

Marcus Hiles is a Texas-based real estate entrepreneur and investor. As Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Western Rim Properties and Newport Classic Homes, he is a visionary developer, committed to designing and expanding high-quality communities with executive residential rentals available throughout the region. The company manages and owns more than 15,000 luxury properties that include affordable world-class amenities and a focus on a healthy lifestyle. These dwellings emphasize family with permanent ecological public areas, first-rate schools and recreation locations at the forefront of importance. One of Hiles’ personal goals is to increase the tree canopy in Texas substantially. His passion to help others extends to philanthropic activities and his association with different state boards.

Des Hague – Encourages Fundraising Efforts to Sponsor Homelessness Assistance Programs in Baltimore

Hague is credited with founding a program known as the “Centerplate Promise,” during his tenure as CEO and President of Centerplate, the fastest-growing hospitality group in North America.

DENVER, CO – March 29, 2017 /MarketersMedia/

Government efforts to end homelessness across various states in the U.S. have a longstanding history, however, this modern form of a human crisis is still unresolved and remains in the agenda of many policymaking initiatives, international aid and development agencies as well as individual philanthropists. A recent report by the National Alliance to End Homelessness concluded that on a single night in January 2015, 564,708 people had to sleep outside, in the streets, or were placed in shelters and transitional housing programs. Baltimore is no exception to the nationwide homelessness, with an estimated 3,000 people homeless on the streets of the city, many of whom are families with children. Feeling particularly passionate about the cause, acclaimed inspirational speaker and hospitality leader, Des Hague has made it his mission to support charities in a variety of cities across the country, and in Baltimore these efforts focus on reintegrating the homeless with society.

Hague is credited with founding a program known as the “Centerplate Promise,” during his tenure as CEO and President of Centerplate, the fastest-growing hospitality group in North America. He established the program to support communities in which his employees work and live. Within the larger umbrella, individual programs were designed and tailored according to the specific needs of the community in question. As a result, Hague and Centerplate Promise became principal sponsors of the Journey Home initiative in Baltimore.

Under the leadership of Des Hague, Centerplate staged numerous remarkable fundraising events in Baltimore, for example “an Evening of Unexpected Delights,” a gala held at the city’s Convention Center that raised almost $500,000 for the Journey Home. The glamorous event was only a small part of Hague’s contribution to Baltimore’s 10-year plan to eliminate homelessness in the city: “Centerplate works to enhance the communities in which we live and work. We’re extremely pleased to have helped raise over $1.3 million for the Journey Home Campaign over the past three years,” observed Hague following the gala. A number of individual projects were funded as part of the overall goal of helping the homeless, including an employment program and a children’s coordination plan to support the social and academic needs of the almost 1,000 homeless youth accommodated in the city’s shelters.

Countless other charities around the country are regularly supported as part of the Centerplate Promise program. Especially mention-worthy examples are Denver, where a number of scholarships have been awarded for the underprivileged, as well as Seattle, New Orleans, and San Francisco, where valuable funding has been provided to help at risk youth through support of the Juma Ventures program. In addition, larger not-for-profit organizations such as the St Jude’s Children’s Hospital and United Way have benefited from the philosophical initiatives and the direction of Hague.

Des Hague served as President and CEO at Centerplate Inc. between 2009 and 2014, during which time the company grew to become the largest hospitality business in North America, operating with more than 40,000 staff. Hague is renowned for focusing on delivering value for the client and restructured the company to deliver strongly along these lines, even in the face of the global recession. He has extraordinary knowledge within the food industry and has served on the board of the National Restaurant Association. Before joining Centerplate he gained experience as President of IHOP, the world’s biggest casual dining restaurant chain. Hague is widely known as a leading force in the global retail food industry and a recognized philanthropist.

Help-My-Reviews.com – Recommends a Number of Reputation Management Techniques to Help Businesses Get Reviews

Packages offered by Help-My-Reviews.com help businesses of all industries get reviews they deserve, while staying on top of any negative reviews through their state-of-the-art review monitoring service.

NEW YORK, NY – March 29, 2017 /MarketersMedia/

Empirical evidence suggests a direct link between the nature of reviews on the Internet and a businesses’ profitmaking, as concludes a study by Michael Luca, professor at the Harvard Business School. Dr. Luca took a close look at the restaurant industry of the city of Seattle and came to the conclusion that a single star attached to a profile of a leading online reviewing platform lead to an incredible 5% to 9% increase in revenues. He further found that there were considerably more restaurant reviews available online than could be found in traditional sources like Zagat or The Seattle Times.

What started out approximately ten years ago as a movement of foodies giving restaurant recommendations online has developed into a common practice across a wide variety of industries: from burger joints to hairdressers, from accountants to dentists – users consult the Internet before purchasing products or using new services. For businesses this trend is likewise a blessing and a curse: While good reviews can boost a reputation and generate widespread advertising virtually free of charge, negative reviews can be equally harmful. No matter whether one disgruntled customers feels the need to vent or a sneaky competitor tries to steal away business by posting an unfavorable comment – damage can be done quickly and given the sharp rise in review platforms, companies are having a hard time to keep a handle on their online reputations.

Being eight years older than even the oldest reviewing platform, Help-My-Reviews.com has developed an infallible strategy that guarantees only 4 and 5 star reviews for its clients, no matter the industry. Statistically, out of every 100 customers, 95 are happy and only 5 are not. However, out of those 95 satisfied customers only one will write a complimentary review, while two out of every 5 dissatisfied customers will go online, resulting in two negative reviews. The ‘How It Works’ page of Help-My-Reviews.com’s newly redesigned website is now hosting a short video that demonstrates how review reputation management can completely shift your business’ online ranking, placement, and ultimately revenue. Packages offered by Help-My-Reviews.com help businesses of all industries get reviews they deserve, while staying on top of any negative reviews through their state-of-the-art review monitoring service.

Founded in 1996, Help-My-Reviews.com has two locations, in Washington, D.C. and in New York City, where IT and marketing experts serve clients across the U.S. from a wide variety of industries. The company frequently sponsors major marketing shows and conferences including, Affiliate Summit, Leadscon, and SES, and will be represented again at this year’s ad:tech in New York City, the leading digital marketing event for marketing and technology professionals from all over the world.

Failed Home Foundations Are Now The Norm In Texas

Today’s concrete home foundations are lacking sufficient concrete and steel rebar. They are termed “Minimally Functional” and a majority of homes in Texas will experience major damage and costly repairs.

Failed Home Foundations Are Now The Norm In Texas

March 29, 2017 /AuthorityNewsNetwork/

“A significantly damaged, or failed home foundation, is now the most likely outcome for a majority of homeowners in Texas,” states Martin Dawson of Dawson Foundation Repair in Houston. His opinion is based on 33 years of experience in the home foundation repair business and he refers to today’s home foundations as “minimally functional.”

“What I mean by ‘minimally functional’ is that the concrete slab is designed to outlast the home builder’s 10 year warranty and built with a minimum of concrete and steel rebar,” he mentions, “and after 10 years the home owner is out of luck. We see the greatest failure rates and the severest damage between the 10 and 20 year age time frame of the house. But with the droughts of 2011 and 2013 we saw failure rates skyrocket for homes under 10 years of age. Homeowners could easily be looking at $5,000 to $30,000 in under slab foundation work to stabilize and level their foundations. And that doesn’t include the potential cost of under slab plumbing damage.”

Mr. Dawson made it clear that his business is flourishing because the majority of home builders are building “minimally functional” concrete foundations. It is a multi-million dollar industry in Texas alone. “The true custom home builders are concerned about their reputation in the long term and they build their foundations with drilled piers, and / or more concrete and steel rebar. These homes have a far better chance of resisting the forces of soil movement over time. However, the vast majority of homes built in Texas are ‘spec’ homes and they are going to have significant foundation problems in the long term,” states Mr. Dawson.

The basic problem is the soil, or the clay soil to be more accurate. Some parts of the country are cursed with clay soils and eastern half of Texas is one part. These clay soils swell in volume when wet and shrink in volume when dry. When the moisture content of the clay soils change it creates soil movement – up, down, and diagonal. Soil movement is a force of nature and it can overpower the thinner concrete slabs built under houses.

When asked about a solution Mr. Dawson said building codes should be revised and the government officials should listen very carefully to the structural engineers with experience in the field. He believes the easiest thing to do is to make concrete foundations several inches thicker and add more steel rebar. “Commercial buildings in Houston and eastern Texas have fewer foundation problems because they are built with more concrete and steel rebar. The foundations are thicker and stronger and better able to counter or resist the powerful stresses caused by soil movement,” stated Mr. Dawson.

Liability is also part of the homeowner’s puzzle. “It is very difficult to sue a residential home builder for a failed home foundation because of legal protections given to them by former Texas lawmakers,” stated Mr. Dawson, “but it is much easier to sue a builder of a commercial building if the foundation fails because they have no similar legal protection. Therefore concrete slab foundations for commercial buildings are a lot stronger because the designer and the builder don’t want to be sued.”
