March 29, 2017 – – Monika’s Marketplace in Sanford, Florida, recently reported an increase in the sales of their bottom of door draft stopper. The company manufactures and sells door draft stoppers that are designed to enhance energy efficiency as well as style. A representative for the company states that their sales have been extremely high during the latter part of the winter season.

The company states that drafts around windows and doors are what cause a high percentage of energy bill increases. Stopping those drafts naturally lowers energy use thus lowering energy costs. Monika’s Marketplace states that customers can save money by keeping outdoor air outside and indoor air inside.

“People want to save money and that’s what our draft stopper does,” states the company representative. “It’s the best under door draft stopper to keep that cold air outdoors where it belongs and keep your heating and cooling system from working overtime.”

The company states that since the initial release of their door draft stopper onto the Amazon marketplace, sales have steadily increased. They state that the reason for the increase in sales is simply because more and more consumers are learning of the benefits of the draft stopper and want to put it to use in their own homes to reduce energy costs while making their indoor temperatures more comfortable.

“When your home temperature lowers, your heating system automatically cuts on,” says the company representative. “Drafts can lower your home temperatures by allowing outdoor cold air into your home. Not only does this raise your electric bill but it can also put undue stress on your heating unit by forcing it to kick off and on more frequently than it should.”

The bottom of door draft stopper fits standard width doors provided they are flush on the floor. The company states that it is a lightweight product that is extremely durable and long lasting and says that all of their products are made in America and come with a bonus storage bag for between seasons. Those interested in learning more about the draft stopper or the company in general can visit them on their seller’s page on the official Amazon marketplace.

I can now run again and I don’t feel an ounce of pain. Shin splints are the worst and I absolutely love to run … thank God I found these. They fit great, awesome color choices, and best part is I can run again …,” says Alisa, an Amazon customer.

March 29, 2017 – This is a new fashion accessory brand that will really listen to its customers. So much so that they will decide everything from the type of product, to the design, to the choice of materials and colours. The ADES brand will then produce the accessories that have been developed by its future community of customers. This is a totally innovative process that reverses the decision-making pyramid by allowing consumers to have the final word.

“I want to give power to women, to allow them to create a brand that resembles them. ADES…it will be their brand. It will be their decisions. The hierarchy will be reversed. It is a form of democracy applied to the world of business”, explains Philippe Ades, who launched the brand in Neuchâtel (Switzerland). Born in 1978, he has a career in marketing, notably serving major luxury brands. Entrepreneur at heart, he wants to contribute to reinventing the e-commerce and marketing of the future.

The brand ADES will be digital and the community gathered on the site www.adeslifestyle.com. The woman of the ADES community is active, and passionate about fashion but with a soul of a creator and an entrepreneur. Collective decision-making will be done through an online voting system that will define the product ranges and refine their further development. “The different products will be sketched in the form of gouaches or drawings. Then these drawings will be gradually refined according to the choices of our community until the final validation of a first product collection. Our community will also approve the price tags and choose where those accessories will be made”, explains Philippe Ades.

Once this collection has been validated by its community, the brand ADES will launch a crowdfunding operation to offer the possibility to acquire the various items of this first collection through a pre-purchase.

Launched in early March 2017, the brand will begin with creating and gathering its customer-decision-maker community. The community involvment is intended to be extended throughout the brand’s life, as Philippe Adès points-out: “Our ambition is to give our community the opportunity to shape the brand. Its members will decide not only who will be our consumer, what fashion accessories will be launched, their design and their prices, but ADES women will also choose the advertising campaign and much more. We will always execute their decisions (whether they please me or not!).”

March 29, 2017 – Vancouver, BC – According to a new series of reports on the Japan market for gynecological devices by iData Research (www.idataresearch.com), the investment in cutting-edge technology fueled by exponential patient demand has led to increasing patient growth in the assisted reproduction technology (ART) device segment. However, despite Japan’s preference to invest in high-end medical devices, the gynecology device market is constrained by the lack of training, diversity in alternative procedures and investment in specialty equipment.

The ART market specifically is being heavily impacted by numerous mergers and acquisitions, creating monopolies on prices and market shares in the region. Ultimately, the predominant shift towards capital equipment that can be used off-label across procedure types is limiting the overall ART capital equipment sales in Japan.

“The number of assisted reproduction procedures conducted in Japan is projected to increase fueled by decreasing fertility rates, a higher average age of women who want to become pregnant, government funding and new technology,” explains Dr. Kamran Zamanian, CEO of iData. “However, the average selling price (ASP) of ART devices per unit is declining due to price erosion.”

Changes to reimbursement rates as well as regulations in Japan are highly anticipated, but unlikely to occur in the immediate future. While the government and the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (JSOG) are both promoting assisted reproduction technology in an effort to promote an increasing national birth rate, traditional cultural values hinder the acceptance of an expanded definition for families. Single individuals and same-sex couples are ineligible to receive in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment in Japan. While cultural attitudes are slowly changing, it is unlikely the regulations will be updated anytime soon. This is further fueling the reproduction tourism market outside of Japan.

Kitazato is the largest competitor in the Japanese assisted reproduction device market with a wide portfolio of products specializing in ART, the oocyte retrieval needles include pump aspiration single lumen, manual aspiration single lumen, double lumen, and other needles. Kitazato is the established competitor within the Japanese market, holding a monopoly on certain distribution networks and clinics. Their market share is projected to decline throughout the reporting period as foreign competitors continue to gain market share.

Cook Medical is the second leading competitor in the Japanese assisted reproduction market. This company has over 15 different retrieval needles available in various product lines, including their Disposable EchoTip® Lancet Needle, standard EchoTip® needles and the Ova-Stiff™ Ovum Aspiration needles. Additional competitors in the Japan assisted reproduction market include Cooper Surgical, Vitrolife and Irvine Scientific among others.
