(28 June 2010) – Jansen Medical Supply, one of the biggest online medical supply stores in the US, now offers free shipping on most of their products. Company president Jeff Jansen said that it’s part of their commitment to being the most inexpensive dealer of high quality medical supplies.

“Good health is an economic necessity for all of us. Providing people access to the world’s best medical equipment, at the lowest prices, is a great way of helping them maintain or achieve good health. Our mission is to go as far as possible to ensure that goal.”

The company is presently offering free shipping on orders exceeding $95. A standard flat rate shipping charge of $7.95 is applicable on orders below $95. Both free shipping and the flat rate charge are fixed, regardless of the size or weight of the ordered item(s).

This is unusual, with most other merchants in the medical equipment supply business charging higher rates for large and heavy items. Jansen Medical Supply say that the few other merchants who offer free shipping generally have their product prices marked up correspondingly.

“We don’t do that. Our understanding with our logistics partners leaves us poised to provide better deals without hiding costs elsewhere. It’s a benefit we’re happy to pass on to clients,” explained a company spokesperson.

Based in Houston, the company has built up a reputation as the leading online store for medical equipment and supplies. With quality being everyone’s number one watchword in a business such as health, the Texas company has stood the test of time well.

The organization was established six years ago in 2004, by lawyer and ex Air Force officer, Jeff Jansen. It has since grown into one of the largest businesses in the country, with an inventory of thousands of products. Jeff’s prior experience with one of the world’s biggest pharmaceutical concerns, and as a medical litigation attorney, have reinforced the company’s commitment to quality and high standards.

In addition to the low prices, several other initiatives are in place to ensure customer satisfaction. This includes a 100% satisfaction guarantee, which assures clients of a full refund on products returned within a 30-day period.

Further, all products come with warranties from the manufacturers. Clients are also assured of free service and support, with a toll-free hotline reserved exclusively to cater to customer support.

Detroit, MI – Dent repair, scratch removal and auto painting after a minor fender-bender can be very expensive. The inconvenience of having to file an insurance claim and leave the vehicle at the auto body shop for days at a time makes most drivers cringe. Consumers are often concerned about an increase in insurance premiums as a result of filing a claim for minor cosmetic repairs.

A study conducted by the consulting firm, Frost & Sullivan found that consumers are more reluctant to report small collisions due to the concern that premiums would increase. The study also identified the growth area of the industry as “cosmetic repair” that falls into two categories; Consumers who need a quick repair because they plan on selling their car and those who have been in a minor accident and prefer to pay out of pocket rather than file a claim.

The Collision on Wheels mobile approach is positioned to meet this demand in the collision industry. “Our mobile approach to minor collision and dent repair saves both the consumer and the insurance company time and money,” said Lenny Rutkowski, owner of Collision on Wheels. “Quite often, the repair cost is less than the deductible, making it unnecessary to file a claim. If it is more, then we work with insurance companies and they appreciate our workmanship and lower repair cost.”

Collision on Wheels is a national franchise company specializing in mobile auto body and dent repair. The franchise services a niche market of consumers who don’t have time to take their vehicle to a body shop for small collision repairs and who are reluctant to file an insurance claim.

Detroit, MI – Dent repair technician, Lenny Rutkowski, was recently interviewed and he explained the relationship between traditional auto body shops and insurance carriers. “There are some things that insurance companies and auto body shops don’t want you to know,” said Rutkowski.

Lenny began by explaining how auto insurance companies work with auto body repair shops, “Insurance companies typically contract with body shops for a pre-negotiated rate for repairs. Some practices include requiring low hourly labor rates or forcing the shop to cover the cost of a rental car if they do not complete repairs timely. These practices tempt the auto body shop to cut corners to recover this cost.”

Another concern consumers have is how long they will be without their vehicle while collision repair is being performed. “Quite often, the work is not done when promised,” said Rutkowski. “Auto body repair shops like to blame this on a delay in parts delivery when the truth is, they took on more than they could handle.”

Lenny advises consumers to check out the auto body and dent repair shop to see if there have been any complaints about not completing work on time. “Also check to see if they use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, rather than generic or salvage replacement parts. Some insurance policies have wording in them that requires you to use lower quality parts if you are in at fault in an accident. Otherwise, you need to request that they only use OEM parts.”

To avoid these problems, Lenny Rutkowski recommends getting an estimate from Collision on Wheels, a mobile auto body shop, before visiting a traditional auto body shop. “Our cost for minor collision and dent repair is typically less than an insurance deductible,” said Rutkowski. “In the event that the cost of repair is more, we do work with most major insurance carriers. Insurance companies appreciate us for providing quality workmanship while keeping the amount of the claim as low as possible.”

Tire King – Colorado Springs Tire Dealers – provides top of the line tires, be it as one tire or a whole set. We offer bargains, discounts, or both that will suit the budget of every customer. Even after deciding to purchase a tire, many people get confused on what brand would suit their need. Before buying any kind of tire, it is best to consider some factors before spending.

For a fact, tires are fashioned in a way that it will match particular driving needs. There are tires that are built for different climatic conditions to provide the utmost comfort, long service, or to reach a vehicle’s optimum performance. It is practical to choose a tire that will suit any driving situation. Also, purchase one whose size is exactly perfect for your vehicle.

Buying a used and cheap tire is the best alternative for people who are on a very minimal and limited budget. However, the downside is that buying a second-hand tire is a lot more complex than buying tires that are newly manufactured. Yet, dealers who have earned respective name in the industry will carefully inspect a product before they offer it to any buyer. They also usually ask buyers to do the inspection themselves to ensure its quality and that it fits to their preferences. When you are confused on what tire would work best for you, ask the dealer and they will recommend you the right thing because a reputable dealer takes delight in answering buyers’ queries.

Also, you need to inspect tires for possible repair mistakes. See to it that the patches are well placed and looks durable enough not to loosen after prolonged use. Also these patches must be smooth enough to provide more convenience while driving. It is better to ask of anything that looks suspicious like plugs. Check the bead for broken regions or splits since this will disable tire’s sealing to the wheels. Finally do not purchase tires that are already older than 10 years. Tire King can guide you in determining the tire’s age code and other details.

Chicago, May 10, 2010 (word count: 301)
A seminar on high speed rail (HSR) development in Florida took place at the Eden Roc Hotel and Conference Center in Miami on Friday, May 7. Entitled « Fostering Economic Development in Florida through High Speed Rail – What Florida Can Draw From the French Experience », the event was organized by the Beacon Council, the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and the College of Business Administration of Florida International University, with the support of the French Embassy in the United States.  The seminar was made possible through the sponsorship of Alstom Transportation, SNCF and SYSTRA Consulting Inc.

More than 100 people attended the seminar, which featured 17 speakers, among whom the Honorable Corrine Brown, Chairwoman, Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials, US House of Representatives, and Anne-Marie Idrac, French Foreign Trade Minister. Jerry Haar, Associate Dean of the College of Business Administration at Florida International University, moderated the seminar.

The speakers focused on a number of key issues such as technology, job creation, infrastructure and the environment, all of which were envisioned bearing Florida’s specific context in mind. They stressed that besides being eco-friendly, a well-conceived HSR system would also prove reliable, profitable and benefit the Sunshine State’s economic growth. Indeed, in addition to the thousands jobs required by its construction, such a system would attract both companies and jobs to Florida. France’s long-standing experience in that matter could help design a train network able to best answer the State’s needs. Thanks to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, plans for HSR in Florida have gained political momentum, providing a fresh opportunity to overcome the very financial and political obstacles that prevented past projects from being implemented.

« Much like Florida pioneered space exploration in the 60s, the State could now make HSR its new 21st century frontier », Mrs. Idrac concluded.

‘Fostering Economic Development through High Speed Rail in Florida: What Florida Can Draw from the French Experience’

Chicago, April 20, 2010 — Since President Obama’s January announcement of a $1.25 billion allocation to develop Florida’s high speed rail (HSR) system, the state, and the nation, have been abuzz with questions on how best to efficiently spend these funds. Next month, Florida will host a seminar to study the potential benefits in drawing from the expertise of one of the world’s best examples of HSR: France. The seminar will take place on Friday, May 7, 2010, at the Marriott Eden Roc Renaissance Hotel and Conference Center in Miami Beach. 

The Florida project  is expected to be the first “true” American high speed rail line, and its extension towards Miami is already being planned. In contributing to these exciting times, the Beacon Council, Miami-Dade County’s official economic development agency, the College of Business Administration of Florida International University, and the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce announced a conference entitled, “Fostering Economic Development through High Speed Rail in Florida: What Florida can draw from the French Experience.” The seminar will take place on May 7, 2010, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Marriott Eden Roc Renaissance Hotel and Conference Center in Miami Beach and will be followed by a luncheon.

Anne-Marie Idrac, French foreign trade minister will present France’s 30-year experience of excellence in high speed rail, one of the world leaders in its design, technology and operation. Each year, tens of millions of tourists and professionals ride the well-known French TGV throughout the country and to neighboring capitals.

With an operational approach focused on the specific Floridian case, this meeting will strive to highlight the successes and challenges the French system has faced through the years, from its inception in the 1970s to its present-day state. Seminar attendees can expect food for thought to better assess the challenges of a Floridian HSR system and solutions to overcome them, through a series of presentations from Florida and French business leaders in transportation and logistics, and panel discussions with top heads of state including Corrine Brown, congresswoman from Florida’s 3rd district.

The organization is supported by the French Embassy in the United States and attendance is by invitation only. For more information about the seminar and to request an invitation to the seminar and luncheon, please e-mail Marc-Antoine Barthe at washington@dgtresor.gouv.fr.

Jets.com, Inc. is not your typical private jet rental provider. When it comes to the luxury of private aviation, they are first class. By restricting out sourcing and using only well defined fleets, Jets.com provides beyond superior aircrafe, service and pricing.

When asked about their continued expansion, Co-Founder Damian Klinger, says, “We’re excited. We’ve done a lot of online enhancements to offer superior service and availability. But nothing beats one-on-one availability and interaction in a local office.”

Co-Founder, Manni Scarso, adds, “By having more local offices that allows us to hear what our clients have to say just that much more.”

As Jets.com continues cornering the global market on private aviation, they recently announced an upcoming office on the East Coast in Opa Locka, Florida. The new office will be located at the Opa Locka Airport in in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

ROYAL YACHTING IS COMING TO FRANCHISE EXPO IN MIAMI THIS JANUARY

Chicago, January 11, 2010 (word count: 400)
Royal Yachting offers yacht-lovers a wide range of services including yacht sales, rentals and rental management. The company nutures future entrepreneurs who are passionate about the ocean and yachting and who want to invest in professional yachting. With more than 27 locations, the Royal Yachting network is growing fast and is now open to people who possess the necessary intellectual, commercial and financial skills to manage an location in France or abroad. The group will exhibit at Franchise Expo South in Miami from Jan. 14 to 16 on the French Pavilion, booth 804.

Royal Yachting’s goal is to open 60 European locations and 70 international ones. Franchisees benefit from service-driven support, held to the same standard as the rigorous customer service required by this type of trade. The candidates begin with a meeting at the headquarters in Six-Fours-les-Plages in southern France. Following a successful meeting, the franchisee can register for training reservation and “pre-contract.” The franchise “pre-contract” includes booking the desired geographical area and participating in a one-week training session, which will help determine the project’s feasibility. If the training is successful, both parties will conclude a brand license contract and a services contract which will enable the future franchisees to use the brand name, the image rights, professional training, proprietary software,products related to sales, rentals and rental management (new and used boats), and on-going training and support.

Each location will oversee an area of 1,400 slips. The total investment cost, not including the lease, includes the premises lay-out and equipment, assistance and start-up capital. Potential Royal Yachting franchisees should enjoy tourism work, from reception to sales, and be passionate about the ocean and boats. They should have their own capital as well as the total ability to manage a company. Royal Yachting is looking for people who clearly demonstrate a dynamic, ambitious and courageous attitude. Three qualities or successful candidates have traditionally been good listening, professionalism and availability.

Automotive OEM instrument manufacturer, Speedhut, continues a record breaking year. With more than four new products released this year alone, including new hot rod cobra gauges, and consideration of expanding their facility, 2009 has proven to be an ever expanding year for Speedhut.

As they continue the trend of introducing new products, they just announced the release of a new fuel rail pressure gauge custom for Dodge Cummins. Now you can monitor your fuel rail pressure safely and accurately with Speedhut’s new fuel rail gauge. This gauge is built in OEM Dodge colors, white dial w/dark font during day and dark green numbers at night, to match your dodge factory dash.

Owner, Aaron Westberg comments, “We expect our gauges to last a lifetime and our customers should, too! We are pleased to offer the longest, and only, lifetime warranty in the automotive aftermarket gauge industry. Every Speedhut gauge and tachometer includes a lifetime warranty on the electronic circuit board inside the gauge case and even a 5 year warranty on everything else.”

Chicago, October 26, 2009 (word count: 538)
Rail manufacturing in France currently generates a turnover of almost €3 billion (rolling stock, tracks, control systems), with 44% of output being exported. Europe accounts for 50% of the market for rail materials. The sector’s buoyancy can be explained by the gradual opening up of rail transport to competition since 2005, in accordance with European Union legislation. Eco-friendly rail transport has a key role to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and the “transport” component of France’s “Green New Deal” has set a target to increase the share of non-road freight from 14% to 25% by 2020.

Passenger and freight rail operators have transferred some of their activities to industrial subcontractors, such as the maintenance of rolling stock (locomotives, carriages and freight cars) and fixed installations (signals, points and crossings, electricity supply), track laying and constructing railway stations. This subcontracting industry employs around 100,000 people in France, or two-thirds of all those directly employed by the rail sector.

The rail sector is also extremely open to foreign investment. Multinational manufacturers of rolling stock (Siemens, Bombardier France, Alstom Transport, CAF, ADD-Trans) and installations (Faiveley, Thales, Bonatrans, Valdunes, Voith, ABB Secheron, SKF, Knorr-Bremse) offer innovative solutions in compliance with international standards (IUR) and the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERMTS), thereby enabling equipment interoperability and cross-border transport. The standardization of manufactured products reduces production, purchasing, running and maintenance costs and boosts export capability.

Maintenance activities are largely contracted out. Fixed installation maintenance work – laying new track and track/ballast renewal – is carried out by large international track maintenance and renewal companies. One example is Corus Rail (of the Indian group Tata Steel), which produces metal tracks for permanent or temporary modular platforms, as well as rail dampers that fix to the track base which are sold under the brand name Silent Track™. Corus Rail also supplies rail infrastructure services (engineering, development, design and management of the rail system, modular systems and technologies). The responsibility for rolling stock maintenance is shared by operators (SNCF, Deutsche Bahn, etc.) and manufacturers, who offer “equipment plus maintenance” packages during the equipment warranty period. Other services are also contracted out, such as ticketing, catering, cleaning, ancillary services and IT.

The i-Trans innovation cluster in Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Picardie is responsible for driving research in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and fostering innovation for economic development and interoperability in the passenger and freight rail transport sector. Since 2005, i-Trans has approved 78 innovation and research projects worth around €185 million in all. Worthy of mention are projects being developed by Bombardier (passenger safety) and Compin Interiors (full interior furnishing of passenger carriages and rail vehicle platforms).

According to David Appia, CEO of the Invest in France agency, “Opening up the rail network to competition has injected new life into the rail sub-contracting market in France, whether it be in construction, maintenance or rail services. This is a decisive factor in attracting foreign investors, who view France as a key springboard for growth in this sector.”

The Invest in France Agency (IFA) promotes and facilitates international investment in France. The IFA network operates worldwide. The IFA works in partnership with regional development agencies to offer international investors business opportunities and customized services all over France.
