Ready for Ron Announces National Student Director

Ready for Ron

Ready for Ron, the only credible independent group working to Draft Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to run for President, announced a new initiative to engage college students, as activists and volunteers, in support of the official national petition to draft Ron DeSantis to run in 2024. ‘Young Americans Ready for Ron’ led by Dylan Dean, will build a nationwide network of student activists to actively engage their fellow students and their local communities as part of the growing national movement in support of a Presidential run by Governor DeSantis. Dean, a student at Montana State University served as a multi-State Chair for the renowned student activist movement Young Americans for Liberty (running five states at once) and is a tireless advocate on and off college campuses. Dean’s experience in grassroots organizing and action has helped him build a national network of Young Americans ready to engage in electoral activism. “My generation is Ready for Ron to continue defending freedom and liberty - just as he has done in Florida – but on the national stage. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor DeSantis refused to kowtow to the radical Left, keeping the Sunshine State open for business and rejecting the impulse to impose onerous mask and vaccine mandates on citizens of the state. It revealed true bravery and respect for liberty, and that's why I support him now," Dylan Dean said. “By choosing guidelines over mandates, Governor DeSantis has given hope to college students like myself, who can now look to 2024 with newfound optimism that he will win the White House,” Dean continued. For those still in the college system or who just left it, we know what a broken system looks like and how important it is to solve the problems. Only strong leadership can get that job done.” “We are thrilled to have Dylan involved with this effort,” stated Ready for Ron Chief Political Strategist Ed Rollins. We need more younger people involved to grow a powerful apparatus nationwide to draft and elect Ron DeSantis for President. Their future and ours depend on it.” Since its launch in late May, Ready for Ron has enlisted nearly one hundred thousand supporters, generated significant media attention, and run hundreds of ads to convince Ron DeSantis to run for President. Ready for Ron has emerged as the only credible independent organization in support of a Ron DeSantis candidacy. Americans are encouraged to sign the petition at ReadyForRon.com to draft Ron DeSantis to run in 2024. ### Contact Details Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 dan@readyforron.com Company Website https://www.readyforron.com/

Halloween Thrills Can Be Good for Your Mental Health & Reduce Stress of Daily Living

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

During a time when many of us are anxious about daily living, the thrill of a Halloween fright might alleviate some stress, according to Dr. Michele Nealon, Psy. D., President of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. “There’s a psychological release from knowing that we can overcome our fear and enjoy the feeling of being exposed to crisis or threat in a safe environment,” she said. “This could be exactly the kind of release we need from our daily stresses—even if it’s just for a few moments.” “When you visit a haunted house or watch a horror movie, there’s a rush of adrenaline, endorphins and dopamine,” Dr. Nealon added. “This rush is translated by our brain into feelings of euphoria, satisfaction and empowerment when the fear subsides. We get a sense of relief and well-being.” Thrill seekers who test their own limits can also reinforce bonds with others when this experience is shared, according to Dr. Nealon. But there is a downside to Halloween that Dr. Nealon warns about. “When we mock the disadvantaged, the mentally ill, those with special needs, or anyone with a perceived difference, we contribute to stigma and discrimination which makes it even tougher for people living with adversity. This Halloween, and always, be mindful that there are those around you who are struggling—they need your support, your kindness, and not your taunts.” “Today, we have enough real fear and anxiety in our daily lives. Halloween frights can be an appropriate way to release some of the pent-up tension in our bodies so that we can better tackle the actual challenges we face,” she said. “At the same time, it’s a time to reflect on how we, as a society, need to focus on how to better serve those most in need of our support and kindness, understanding that this is an important step to community wellness for all of us,” Dr. Nealon said.

BOO! Home Repair Doesn't Have to be Scary!

YourUpdateTV

We love Halloween but what can really give a homeowner a fright is when your house starts making creepy sounds or smelling funny. Not everyone is a repair expert, so how do homeowners know when they need to call an expert? Recently, Mark Dawson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Authority Brands’ Trade Brands, conducted a satellite media tour to share tips that can help consumers make sure their house is in tip-top shape and safe for family and friends this spooky season and beyond. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/3DMbh3PDuno Like a regular health check-up, a home maintenance schedule is important for every house's upkeep. Continuing to check on your appliances, heating and cooling, plumbing, and electrical systems will help prevent breakdowns, save money, and keep your home looking its best. It is important to prepare your home for the colder season ahead, to be mindful of those creepy sounds and smells, and to identify and repair any home issues that could cause larger problems for your home and family in the future. No matter what age you are, flickering lights will make you feel uneasy. While most reasons behind flickering lights are nothing to be concerned about, others could mean there’s a bigger issue in the house’s electrical system that could be a safety hazard for you and your family. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, house fires will occur in over 1 million American homes each year, so it’s important to get to the root of the problem sooner rather than later. In fact, one of the main causes of house fires is loose wiring. And loose wiring can present itself as flickering lights. If that’s the case, you’ll need a complete diagnostic to assess the danger and what needs to be addressed. A Mister Sparky electrician will not only try to fix the immediate problem of the flickering light but will inspect the home thoroughly to ensure that there are no loose wires anywhere else in the home. For more info or to request an appointment with your local Mister Sparky visit mistersparky.com. If you hear pipes rattling, thuds when you turn off a faucet, or gurgling sounds in the drain, then your plumbing system might need to be checked. When your plumbing system is working properly, you don't have to think about it. Water comes in, water and waste get removed – that's the end of the story. Unfortunately, things don't always go so smoothly. Sometimes, the plumbing can break down – noisily. When in doubt, call in a qualified plumber to diagnose your noisy pipes and get your plumbing system flowing in peak condition again. Give your local Benjamin Franklin Plumbing a call for any plumbing questions or visit benjaminfranklinplumbing.com for more info. When it comes to your home’s cooling and heating system, the majority of the time you’ll forget it’s there, as new and modern HVAC units are pretty quiet. However, you might come across the occasional clicking or funky smell that might make you think twice about what’s going on with your system. If your air conditioner is making any of these noises - squealing/screeching, rattling, buzzing, clicking, hissing, whistling, humming, cracking, or banging - it is best to consult with a trained, certified HVAC technician to pinpoint the issue and offer you the best advice for fixing the sound. Be sure to call the experts at your local One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning whenever you need fast, reliable service or visit onehourheatandair.com.

New Zealand’s International Border Has Reopened: What’s New in New Zealand

YourUpdateTV

No matter the length of the stay, one thing is for certain: visitors to New Zealand will never run out of places to see. Following the country’s reopening after the COVID-19 pandemic, Tourism New Zealand has recently launched a brand-new campaign, “If You Seek,” inviting international visitors to unleash the seeker within. Recently, Sarah Handley, General Manager Americas and Europe at Tourism New Zealand, conducted a satellite media tour to discuss this campaign and share ideas to help curious travelers plan a trip of personal discovery and long-term growth. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/ujl2MnugTms “If You Seek,” the country’s first global campaign post-pandemic, is designed to warmly welcome all visitors who are willing to embrace New Zealand’s distinctive values of manaakitanga (a deep expression of hospitality and reciprocal understanding/connection) and kaitiakitanga (guardianship and care for the environment), positioning the destination as a place to nourish and transform. With two main islands, 13 national parks, and dozens of diverse cities, there are plenty of New Zealand attractions and activities to choose from. Explore golden coastlines fringed with native pōhutukawa trees, follow walking trails to waterfalls hidden in beech forests, or cycle through gently rolling vineyards. For those after New Zealand's famous adventure activities and extreme sports, seekers can choose from bungy jumping, jet boating, skydiving, or zip-lining. Or relax and take it easy at beautiful hot pools, cultural attractions, and art galleries. Travelers can book a flight to New Zealand online or via local travel agents to enjoy stunning landscapes and meet friendly locals. From the west coast, it’s easier and quicker to fly to New Zealand than it is to go to some popular destinations in Europe. If visiting from the East Coast, fly through Chicago or New York, as the flight is worth the journey. Tourism New Zealand’s airline partners Air New Zealand, American Airlines, United Airlines, and Hawaiian Airlines offer direct flights to New Zealand from seven U.S. cities - Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, New York, and Honolulu. Most international flights arrive into Auckland Airport, located in the northern part of the North Island. Christchurch, Wellington, Rotorua, Queenstown, and Dunedin airports also receive a small number of international flights. Find out more about New Zealand airports. For help booking New Zealand flights, contact 100% Pure New Zealand Specialists – these are locally-based travel agents around the world who have completed special training with Tourism New Zealand to increase their knowledge of the country. They understand the best ways to get around and can recommend accommodation, activities, and tours to help make New Zealand holidays unforgettable.

Claravine Expands Digital Ad Integration Library With Top Platforms

Claravine

Claravine, a pioneer in data integrity with its platform, The Data Standards Cloud®, has launched integrations with Google Ads, Snapchat Ads and Pinterest Ads Manager. These recent platform integrations help Claravine users improve naming compliance, metadata capture and enrichment while maintaining connection points between key datasets – allowing them to hand-off across workflows and quickly measure which campaigns are performing best. There is an industry-wide demand for innovative solutions when it comes to marketing measurement, personalization and collaboration. To meet this need, Claravine is expanding its ad integration library to be compatible with more major platforms powering digital advertising, including measurement solutions, creative optimization and content metadata. Claravine has existing ad integrations with Google Campaign Manager 360 and Facebook Ads Manager along with integrations into other key marketing technologies. “While clean, consistent marketing data are core to faster business decisions, ad platforms limit the ability to control or customize fields. The lack of control and alignment across these platform limits brands and agencies from creating unified measurement dashboards.” Chris Comstock, Chief Product Officer at Claravine said. “By expanding our capabilities, we’re able to ensure that there is uniformity and adherence to the taxonomy and rules our clients have put in place. We are also able to enrich the marketing data with the business attributes needed for measurement and insights while creating alignment across marketing and analytics teams.” To further promote awareness and education around data standardization, Claravine is among a group of companies involved with the Clean Data Primer and RoadShow – a new industry organization focused on developing common standards around data clean rooms. The primer’s content covers taxonomy use cases and shares with Claravine the mission of positioning marketers, agencies, and platforms to formulate and evaluate clean room strategies and thereby enhance their odds of success. “We’re excited to have Claravine’s support of our initiative,” Rich Sobel, Co-creator of Clean Data Primer and data and AdTech industry expert said. “With a shared industry focus and their Data Standards Cloud software, we’ll be able to shed light on the importance of clean data, ultimately helping brands better prepare for the new data landscape.” Claravine was recently nominated as a finalist in the Best Data Technology category in AdExchanger’s 2022 Awards. This achievement is in addition to Claravine’s landmark year with milestones including an additional $16 million in Series B funding and being named a 2022 AdExchanger Programmatic Power Player as well as a “Momentum Leader” and “High Performer” in the Fall 2022 G2 Rankings. Claravine will be on stage at this year’s Advertising Week, taking place in New York City the week of October 17, with content and media experts at Aprimo and GroupM. Claravine has forged successful partnerships with well-known Fortune 1000 companies such as Under Armour and Ancestry and is currently working with a quarter of the Fortune 100. With a collaborative user interface and strategic integrations with top customer experience platforms such as Adobe and Google, Claravine's platform, The Data Standards Cloud, helps global organizations define, apply and connect standards across their ecosystem for faster decisions, greater agility and increased ROI. About Claravine Claravine is a pioneer in data integrity for the global enterprise. We empower a proactive approach to marketing data by activating data standards across people and technology, bridging the silos that limit speed and decisions. That’s why more than 25% of the Fortune 100 use our platform, The Data Standards Cloud, to define, apply and connect standards across their ecosystem for faster decisions, greater agility, and increased ROI.

38-Year Printing Veterans Larry and Tami Jacobs Grow Sales After Buying New Minuteman Press Franchise in Carson City, NV

Minuteman Press International Inc

For Minuteman Press franchise owners Larry and Tami Jacobs, the printing industry is not new. “Our background prior to franchising with Minuteman Press was … wait for it … printing and graphics. Tami has been in the industry her whole life with parents who also spent their entire careers in the industry. Larry jumped in to printing shortly after marrying Tami in 1985. Together, we started our first business in 1987 and we’ve been at it ever since. While the majority of franchisees are coming from a different background altogether, we decided to go with the tried and true. Rather than starting over from scratch we sold our prior printing business and home in another state, moved to Carson City, and opted to partner with Minuteman Press for the brand recognition and the support that comes from within.” That partnership of Larry and Tami’s experience with the Minuteman Press franchise system has created a win-win scenario and generated significant sales growth for Minuteman Press in Carson City, Nevada, a brand new location at 444 East William Street, Unit #1, that Larry and Tami opened in July 2021. Larry and Tami explain, “Having been in the industry for nearly 38 years, we were blown away by the training and support we have received from Minuteman Press. In some aspects it was a refresher but in other areas it was completely new to us. We had not previously done a lot of promotional products, and dye sublimation and using a heat press were new to us. We have embraced the new products and are actively marketing those items.” “We’ve been learning new equipment with the signage, apparel, and all of the details involved with EDDM and direct mail marketing. It has been fun. We would not be where we are without the training and support provided by Minuteman Press.” -Larry & Tami Jacobs, Owners, Minuteman Press, Carson City, NV Standing Out in Carson City According to Larry and Tami, “Carson City is a family-friendly, small-business oriented town that is welcoming and still has a small town feel to it. We have enjoyed getting to know other business people in our community and find that they are all very supportive of each other, our town and community.” They continue, “When meeting with clients, this is what we tell them. We can help grow your business by providing personalized and branded business cards, flyers, posters, stationery, banners, apparel, and much more—we are your one-stop-shop for all your printing and promotional requirements. Plus, we specialize in direct mail marketing and advertising. Anything you can put a name, logo, or image on—Minuteman Press in Carson City can produce. We design, print, and promote YOU!” Larry and Tami add, “Our experience in the industry coupled with the latest in technology and production sets us apart. We are able to produce high quality, top of the line products in a lightning speed turnaround time in-house. As several in our community have told us, ‘There’s no one like you in the area.’ We promise. We deliver.” Growing the Business In order to grow the business, Larry and Tami use a combination of marketing strategies. “We have used in person, direct mail and email marketing campaigns as well as networking. We also have a strong presence on Google and solid word of mouth with both current clients and former clients from our previous business. These all add up to great online and offline referrals.” Minuteman Press in Carson City also has a healthy mix of products and services to get the job done for clients in their community. “Currently, our most high-demand products are political yard signs and walk cards, direct mail (both printing and mailing – all done in-house), large format printing, and apparel. We have aligned with several political brokers and that bring us a large variety of work in all aspects of our business – printing, direct mail, promotional products, and apparel. We have had quite a bit of growth with apparel in general. When word gets out that you can get it done and done well, the business finds you.” They offer this tip for local businesses. “Direct mailing to get your name out there is one of the best ways to reach potential clients to let them know you are there and open for business. With so many businesses shut down by the pandemic for so long, it is important to let your community know that you are still there and ready to serve them. Anything branded is very effective as well.” “As much as we are all glued to screens these days, there’s still just something about seeing your name and logo in print. Remember how you felt the first time you held your very own printed business card? That’s what I mean. There are some things that just work better as a printed piece as opposed to something online. Print is still the best media to communicate who you are and to get your message out to the world.” -Larry & Tami Jacobs Rewards & Advice for Others For Larry and Tami, the care they have for their clients is clearly evident when they are asked about the rewards of owning their business. “The rewards in this industry are seeing your clients shine because we took their pieces and made them into something presentable. I’ve gone to events where we printed all of the campaign materials, signs, apparel, and more. When you see everything come together in brand and theme, it really makes the client stand out and look good. And at the end of the day, that feels good and right.” They continue, “We have helped so many clients to get their projects turned around and completed on impossible deadlines. It’s an awesome feeling to make things happen. Whether it’s a small ‘copies of Great Grandma’s cookbook’ project or a large corporate multi-piece project, we give our best to help our clients look their best.” As for what advice the 38-year printing industry veterans would give to others, Larry and Tami share, “Follow the protocol, do the steps that need to be done. Stick with it. It works.” For more information on Minuteman Press in Carson City, NV, visit their website: https://minuteman.com/us/locations/nv/carson-city/ Learn more about #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities and see Minuteman Press franchise reviews at https://minutemanpressfranchise.com Contact Details Chris Biscuiti +1 631-249-1370 cbiscuiti@mpihq.com Company Website https://minutemanpressfranchise.com

The Uber Of Hyperlocal Marketing Is Here — And Its Crowdfunding Campaign Ends Soon

Nickelytics

Interested in investing in Nickelytics Republic campaign? Click here to get started. Marketing opportunities have broadened since the advent of social media and the digital age. Digital marketing has increased in popularity for many companies, between Facebook and Instagram ads, user-generated content (UGC) ads, and artificial intelligence (AI) marketing. Billboards and outdoor marketing, which remain widely popular and used across industries, are now using digital technology to gather more impressions. Outdoor advertising has become more digitized and user-oriented with the invention of new technologies. For example, in the UK McDonald’s launched a weather-reactive McCafe campaign. When it was hot outside, the billboard would advertise a cold and refreshing drink and vice versa. With the expansion of technology, outdoor advertising has become more creative. However, it would seem one area of outdoor advertising that traditional agencies have not yet tapped into is the gig economy. While it isn’t uncommon to see advertising on buses, with the rise of Uber, Doordashers, and other gig economy vehicles, there is now a larger market available for advertising. Out-of-home advertising is extremely location-driven and its marriage with the hyperlocal aspects of the gig economy makes for an interesting combination. Nickelytics Is Revolutionizing Outdoor Advertising Nickelytics, an out-of-home (OOH) advertising platform, is taking advantage of the desire for OOH advertising in a new world of marketing. According to the Out of Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA), OOH spending went up 40.5% in the first quarter of 2022, demonstrating that there is still a need and want for OOH. Nickelytics is a marketplace for OOH advertising. The company intends to do for OOH advertising what Facebook and Google Ads did for digital marketing. Nickelytics’s interface allows businesses to launch customized ad campaigns in minutes. Its platform brings together suppliers of OOH advertising assets and consumers. Currently, Nickelytics is seeing its most success using vehicles, specifically gig economy cars like Uber or DoorDash vehicles. It also supports billboards, signage and more. The gig economy has skyrocketed since the pandemic. The gig economy experienced a 33% rise in 2020 and is expanding faster than the US economy. The gig economy is also having a moment globally; the number of global gig workers is expected to rise by more than 30 million people in the next year. By partnering with the gig economy, Nickelytics is able to effectively tap into a huge market directly and cut out the middleman of traditional ad agencies. Nickelytics has presented a seamless experience that is quick and still benefits from the hyper-locality needed for OOH advertising. What really separates Nickelytics from the crowd in OOH advertising is that its platform uses GPS and cellphone location tracking. This lets Nickelytics track how many potential viewers have seen the advertisement, allowing the client to retarget those people using digital ads. It’s a win-win situation. Nickelytics' ability to provide tracking information that most OOH companies do not have the technology to support gives businesses heightened visibility on the success of their ads. The company’s formula also helps make an advertising campaign even more powerful by giving viewers multiple ways of seeing the same ad. Nickelytics says that customers are 2.8 times more likely to engage with an ad digitally after seeing an ad in the real world, and its customers are having massive success. Nickelytics is working to expand on its success and enter the electric vehicle (EV) charging market based on the idea that charging stations allow anyone using them — and anyone passing by — to see the ad. Over the next eight years, the US government is implementing plans to create over 500,000 charging stations across the country. By being first to market, Nickelytics says it will create a virtual monopoly at any charging site where it's located. The company is revolutionizing the OOH advertising game and with big plans to evolve, it is a company to keep your eye on. It is currently raising funds through a crowdsourcing campaign.
