Brooklyn, NY – To address the growing success of nonprofit crowdfunding and online fundraising, Crowdfunding Expert Salvador Briggman published a new Amazon ebook, entitled “NonProfit Crowdfunding Explained: Online Fundraising Hacks to Raise More for Your NonProfit.” 

With his third Amazon ebook, Briggman explores another key sector in the crowdfunding industry. “Right now, we’re in the middle of a historic shift in charitable giving behavior,” says Briggman. “With the emergence of social media, smartphones, and the web, opportunities for budding nonprofits are finally opening up. Believe it or not, you are living in the golden age of fundraising.”

Many nonprofit organizations have begun to explore online fundraising, having seen the notable success of the Ice Bucket Challenge in 2014, which raised over $100 million through viral Facebook videos. Since then, a handful of nonprofits have caught on and are absolutely crushing it online. They’ve harnessed the power of technology to run massive online giving campaigns and reach thousands of supporters across the web.

“It’s a complete no-brainer, but not everyone realizes that yet,” says Briggman. “In this step-by-step guide, I’m going to be introducing you to several of these organizations that have caught on to and are riding a soaring trend. I’ve written about many of these orgs on my popular blog, which has been cited by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and more. I’ve also spoken with many on my podcast. “

Briggman went on to share his experience dealing with nonprofits saying, “After talking with these nonprofits, I realized one thing. They’re not special. What they’re doing isn’t all that sophisticated. They’re run by ordinary folks, just like you and me. In fact, if you follow the steps that I outline in this book, you’ll be able to replicate their results.”

The Amazon ebook will go live on September 26, 2016. Until then, readers and journalists can pre-order a copy of the new ebook here. 

This ebook comes at a the perfect time for nonprofit organizations who want to participate in #GivingTuesday, which takes place each year on November 29, 2016. This day compliments Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

“By the end of this ebook, you’ll have a clear step-by-step plan for executing an online crowdfunding campaign and know what to do next. More importantly, you’ll be able to stay true your org’s mission and serve humanity.” – Briggman.

PALO ALTO, CA – 9/20/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET) — For small business owners and founders, Rick and Alice Deutscher, success has come after some challenging circumstances. While other businesses went out of business, theirs survived thanks to beautiful and unique gift offerings, established ties with local artisans, an enthusiastic customer following, and a wonderful new door that has opened.

Their gift store, Shady Lane, was founded over 40 years ago in downtown Palo Alto on University Avenue – the birthplace of companies like Google, Pinterest, Facebook, and SurveyMonkey

A multi-award-winning business, Shady Lane became a fixture of the community to the point where many people called the building location “The Shady Lane Building” because the store was a beloved mainstay of the Avenue.

But when developers began plans to build a massive four-story building on University Avenue where the one-story historic building, “The Shady Lane Building,” was located, Shady Lane’s future became severely challenged.

Yet, the four-story project was sent back to the drawing board on August 8, 2016 due to being architecturally incompatible with its surroundings but it’s expected to be eventually approved.

For Alice, the plans served as a challenge and opportunity for Shady Lane to find a new home. “It broke our hearts to leave our beloved Palo Alto downtown location, but the silver lining is we actually like our new location better. When one door closed, an amazing one opened for us last year and we are so grateful.”

Sitting just three miles away from the former location, Alice found a new location at the Sharon Heights Shopping Center off Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park where customers have enthusiastically followed. Now that the move has been completed, customers can find the same carefully selected artisan creations in a light-filled octagonal building in a flower-filled courtyard.

At the store, customers can browse through locally-made jewelry, art glass, ceramics, fine woodworking, and textile art, and they can discuss these unique treasures with the artisans themselves, many whom help in the store. Plus, Shady Lane offers a wealth of gift items mostly made in the USA, including an amazing selection of artisan jewelry specializing in sterling silver and natural gemstones, photography, Native American creations including Zuni carvings, bronze sculptures, and specimen-quality rocks, crystals, and fossils.

For Alice, the fact that the business has maintained its following, and has lasted over 40 years, is a huge accomplishment. “I never thought we could survive our rent doubling in 2008 when the new landlord took over our lease and we did. But when plans were submitted to build a new building on our site, we saw the writing on the wall.”

“We are part of a story that is happening everywhere in the United States to small businesses,” said Alice. “Locally-owned businesses are being challenged by landlords doubling their rent and giving short-term leases because of their desire to develop the property. [Yet], we were one of three of the longest-established retail businesses on the Avenue when we left, which says a lot about our wonderful store, our amazing local artisans, and also about our customers’ loyalty.”

“We were on the Avenue (minutes from Stanford University) before current chains and the startups moved in, and we are still in business today. It is quite an accomplishment. We think it is because we serve our customers well, offer exceptional and unusual artisan gifts, and love what we do. If you combine those attributes with a determination to succeed, you have some reasons why we have maintained our longevity.”

Many generations have shopped at Shady Lane because the store has something for everyone. Plus, the store consistently offers creations from locally and internationally recognized artisans and adds new artisan-inspired creations every week.

“What I love most about Shady Lane is the sense of community I have with the local artisans,” said Alice. “I made a living for 20 years selling my own creations at art fairs. I know the struggles and the joys of selling your own work. I love to mentor and encourage our artisans. I enjoy displaying and selecting our treasures with an artisan’s eye and I also adore my customers, many of whom I have known for well over 30 years.”

Shady Lane receives rave reviews on Yelp and Facebook. Longtime customer Karen Ewart says, “The only place in the valley where I will buy gifts. At Christmas, if at least one gift per person doesn’t come from Shady Lane, there is disappointment. I’ve been shopping at this beautiful Boutique for over 35 years. The most gorgeous store in the area! Best jewelry and handcrafted items.”

Some of the internationally recognized designers at Shady Lane include Evelyn Knight, Holly Yashi, Firefly, Avolie Glass, Fire & Light, Lundberg Studios, Glass Eye Studio, Oberon Designs, David Rosales, Janice Girardi, and Trollbeads.

Exclusive, in the store, local artisans also include Lauren Tanimoto, Maria Torrey, Richard Dweck, Judi Eichler, Alainah McDonald, Rosalie Gerrans, Carol Kutsch, Sandi Morey, Diane Peterson, Diana Dutton, Perry Marlon, Celia Moreno and many more.

These names and more display their work at Shady Lane where long-time customers continue to shop and enjoy.

To see more of what Shady Lane has to offer, join them on Saturday October 1, 2016 from 11:30-5:30 for their Celebrating with Gratitude Event. Everything offered in their store will be 10-40% off in celebration of winning the Almanac’s Readers’ Choice Poll  in three categories- Best Gifts, Jewelry, and Boutique, and for being accepted into the Palo Alto’s Weekly’s Best of Hall of Fame (Best in Palo Alto 5 years in a row). At the event you can look forward to meeting many of  the Shady Lane artisans, and enjoy refreshments and drawings for gift certificates.

NEW ROCHELLE, NY – 9/20/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET) — “Where have you gone, Mario Cuomo? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.” In the midst of a raucous political year comes an important new book by the author of five highly-acclaimed Fordham Press anthologies on the powerful – and colorful – players in New York State’s civic and political life.

“Governor Mario Cuomo’s life and accomplishments are part of the public record, but in Mario Cuomo: Remembrances of a Remarkable Man, William O’Shaughnessy gives readers an exclusive and a deeply personal, behind-the-scenes look at the liberal Democratic icon. This poignant memoir, based on the author’s thirty-eight–year friendship with Governor Cuomo, portrays the spiritual journey of a man who played many roles: inspirational political leader, moral compass, spell-binding orator, gifted author, legal scholar, and loving father and grandfather. He was, in O’Shaughnessy’s words, one of the most articulate and graceful public men of the twentieth century.   

Their connection was unlikely: O’Shaughnessy, a self-styled “Rockefeller Republican” and one of the best-known broadcasters in the nation, and Cuomo “a failed baseball player with too many vowels in his name” who rose from the back of a grocery store in Queens to become a lawyer and then governor with a devotion to the writings of St. Thomas More, the teachings of Jesuit philosopher-paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin, the vision of Abraham Lincoln and the ancient Hebrew concepts of Tzedakah and Tikkun Olam. Yet over the course of hundreds of radio interviews, letters, late night and early morning phone conversations –the governor and the Westchester broadcaster became fast friends.

Included in this riveting book are previously unpublished nuggets from Governor Cuomo’s soaring speeches, touching personal letters to his children and grandchildren, marvelous humorous asides, even the governor’s favorite romantic ballads and touching vignettes from his days in office. Among these reminiscences are also accounts of the drama leading up to Cuomo’s famous Democratic Convention speech and the still controversial Notre Dame talk on abortion and the Church-State dilemma faced by Roman Catholic office holders.  Also why he resisted entreaties to run for president of the United States and declined appointment to the Supreme Court.  Rounding out this beautiful book are candid photos from Cuomo’s official photographer.      

As O’Shaughnessy writes of Mario Cuomo the philosopher-statesman, “The product of his genius and bright, fine mind will resonate long after the dust of centuries has fallen over our cities.” Much more than a simple memoir of a cherished friend, Mario Cuomo: Remembrances of a Remarkable Man  is a loving tribute to a magnificent political figure whose words and example continue to inform the conscience of our nation.”

A campaign has been launched by a leading Oklahoma Locksmith to make people aware how much money is being wasted when car owners purchase car key replacements from car dealerships.

According to estimates by the Brazilian Federal Public Ministry, the resources diverted by corruption schemes in Brazil lacerates the public reserves in about R$ 200 billions per year. But if the assault promoted by corruption has this scale, the dimension of the damage caused by bad administration is incalculable. Together, this combination can hold a country on misery. The analysis comes from economic assessor of Parana’s Federation of Commercial and Business Associations and Professor at FGV, Arthur Schuler da Igreja.

He mentions the Petrobras case as an example, where corruption and incompetence have created a tragic combo. “Fraud losses  at Petrobras, investigated by Lava Jato operation, were estimated in R$ 6 billions. In the other hand, the misleading administrative decisions, such as federal government’s decision to artificially hold the price of fuels in order to control inflation since 2005, have caused a devastation – at least R$ 50 billions in loss by bad administration, additionally, the loss of value in the stock market was R$436 billions in the same period”.

CORRUPTION

In corruption cases, the most harmful thing aren’t the financial losses. One of the worst impacts, according to Arthur Igreja’s understanding, is the moral. “The robbery of politicians isn’t the worst of all. More damaging is the idea that ends up being transmitted with this robbery, the idea that the illicit is somehow acceptable. It makes many people start to believe  that they can evade taxes for instance, because if politicians can, why shouldn’t the rest of population do it too? This is the big cancer of corruption”. “When a politician is caught pocketing R$ 79 millions, we get frustrated because it’s a great amount of money. But there are 204 millions of Brazilian citizens. The impact of the small individual decisions is much bigger’’.

Corruption destroys trust and promotes bureaucracy as a consequence. “When corruption is impregnated, business are made at defensive mode. That means more contracts, more litigation, more lawyers…more guarantees are required”, Igreja says. “Everyone creates steps to prevent corruption, motivated by the feeling that they will be betrayed. That’s why a corrupted country, by definition, is poor and inefficient”.

Another loss is on competitiveness. A non reliable country has problems to compete with others that are not highly corrupted. “The corrupted nation is more expensive because of it’s bureaucracy. It’s hard to compete in the international market”. The result is poverty, and that opens the way to more corruption. “The cycle becomes almost impossible to be broken”, says Arthur Igreja.

Besides that, companies located in corrupted countries have between 7% to 10% more employees than the ones from not corrupted countries, which represents more work cost. The interests rates also become higher. Money gets more expensive resulting in less money circulation and decrease in the economic activity.

INCOMPETENCE

Incompetence is even harder to be measured. That’s because it’s only possible to calculate consequences that come from concrete actions. Decisions not made and negligence, for example, also constitute lack of management, but are hard to evaluate.

According to Arthur, the incompetence at the Brazilian public government becomes astounding when the immobilized patrimony of state companies are compared to private companies. State owned companies have 48% of the immobilized patrimony in Brazil, but generate only 24% of the GDP. “In other words, for each R$1 of patrimony they have, they generate R$0,50 in revenues,” Arthur Igreja analyses. Meanwhile, private companies have the other 52% of the national patrimony with 76% of the GDP generation. “Some clear examples are Vale and Embraer, that used to be irrelevant companies internationally and, as soon as they were privatized, they became important global players.”

Arthur Igreja also mentions the case of the Provisional Measure 579, that  suddenly changed the rules of concession renovations. The result of this “non-market decision” was disastrous. A study of the National Industry Confederation (CNI) points that, in the last 43 years, the investment level had a 60% reduction in relation to the GDP.  “Nowadays Brazil is the country with the most expensive energy bill in the world. This incompetent decision has penalized the electric system in more than R$ 130 billions”, according to Arthur Igreja.

Real Estate Coaching Online | Real Estate Investing Courses

San Antonio, Texas – September 20, 2016 – Lower interest rates have been a strong factor in encouraging residential, retail, commercial, and even industrial property investing. Further, federal regulations and tightening of the credit markets in the past decade have led to an explosion of high rental demand and long-term projected rental growth. Overall, it is an industry that has been offering strong potential in stability of capital value and higher returns.

Lone Star South Texas Properties, Chief advisor, Lianne McClure says, “If you have been planning to get into this industry as a player, there couldn’t be a better time. It’s not just rewarding to be in real estate in the short-term; it’s also among the best ways to create wealth for the longer haul. A little help from real estate investing courses and similar financial investment classes will ensure you educate yourself about how you can begin to reap the profits.”

Well, the challenges of real estate investing for beginners are many, but when you look at the advantages, there are few reasons to not step forward. If you have tucked away a considerable amount in low interest, traditional financial vehicles, it’s time to learn how to put it to real use and multiply!

A Constant Cash Flow

As opposed to keeping your savings with banks and enjoying a meager rate of interest, real estate can be a much more profitable alternative. The cash flow with rental investments is ongoing and can be treated as a monthly income that you keep on receiving, without doing any work! Further, this income is predictable and will also increase with economic and infrastructure growth.

Tax Benefits

The U.S. government has tended to reward rental property owners with tax benefits. So, it’s not just the increased cash flow every month that you’ll enjoy but savings in taxes as well!

Increased Net Worth

When you invest in a rental property, it’s actually the renter who would be paying the monthly mortgage. This way, you would not just benefit from new worth and financial credibility but also by receiving a steady amount of money every month.

A Perfect Retirement Plan

While job holders will continue bearing the effects of inflation, a real estate investor will continue receiving higher returns. As such, you are insured for the long-term!

The Jewish Wisdom Ball, described as a Jewish alternative to the Magic 8 Ball®, is now raising funds on Kickstarter. The crowdfunding campaign aims to raise $10,000 in 30 days and it wouldn’t kill you to help support it.

The ball features a Hebrew “chai” symbol on the front and provides 20 answers guaranteed to be imbued with the vast wisdom of the Jewish tradition. Those posing questions to the Jewish Wisdom Ball stand a good chance of being answered with a question, may be made to feel guilty for having asked in the first place, and once in a while could be told to put on a sweater.

When asked whether a small plastic toy was qualified to dispense advice, the Jewish Wisdom Ball responded “Why not?” and “You call that a question?”

The ball was created to complement the ever-growing number of niche versions of the Magic 8 Ball® concept. While many varieties exist, none have been specifically tailored toward the Jewish audience and its many, many questions. “Asking questions is a fundamental part of our heritage,” said Rami Genauer, creator of the Jewish Wisdom Ball. “This product is perfect for anyone, Jewish or not, who has questions to ask but lacks a sympathetic ear to listen, tell them that they’re crazy, and that it would be better if they didn’t ask.”

A pledge of $18 (plus shipping) will get backers one Jewish Wisdom Ball. True connoisseurs of Jewish wisdom will likely opt for the option that provides two Jewish Wisdom Balls; one to ask questions to and one they wouldn’t be caught dead asking. Additional pledge amounts range from $5 to $1000 and include bonuses like T-shirts and the chance to add a custom answer to the list of 20 contained within the ball.

If funding is successful, Jewish Wisdom Balls and other rewards should be delivered in December—perfectly timed to give as gifts on Hanukkah. The campaign can be found on Kickstarter or at jewishwisdomball.com

The Jewish Wisdom Ball is produced by Unusual Accomplishments, LLC.

The year of 1848 was a busy one in terms of world events. It was a time of unrest throughout the world as numerous revolutions brought out as people fought against oppressive governments. France was at the forefront of that struggle with their own Revolution of 1848. On 4 November, France ratified a new constitution, thus ushering in a new era of government, the Second Republic of France to replace the temporary government that had been put in place. In the United States, 1848 marked the beginning construction of the Washington Monument to honor the country’s first American president and the start of the California Gold Rush.

Meanwhile in Paris, during 1848, the Desjardin Family began their business specializing in the manufacturing of metal tin and white iron aluminum stampings. The world has changed quite a bit since 1848. France has proudly risen above the tragedies it experienced through the first and second world wars and the harsh restrictions placed on its citizens during the German Occupation during the 1940s. During its renewal, some things have come and gone forever, but Desjardin Metal Packaging has remained as one of France’s oldest metal packing manufacturers. To this day, the company remains a leader in the industry and a major exporter of metal boxes worldwide as the company has continued to flourish in both innovation and technology since the mid-1900s.

History of Desjardin

Desjardin’s manufacturing facility was located within the 10th district of Paris from 1848 through 1962. The business specialized in manufacturing tinware, including such items as pots, pans, plates, iron lanterns, storage boxes that were covered with thin layer of tin.

In 1891, with the invention of the 35mm cinema film reel by American inventor Thomas Edison, Desjardin embarked on a new market by creating metal cans for preserving 16mm and 35mm films for the film industry. The company was the supplier of movie tins to Eastman Kodak and Agfa Gaveart for many years and their tins have been used to distribute film copy for all movies theatres run by Laboratories Eclair, LTC.

Just a few years later, Desjardin made an impact on yet another industry; this time the printing industry with its industrial box for packaging printing inks. During the 1900s, Desjardin began to manufacture iron containers for the food industry to be used with packaging biscuits and sweets. Gourmets may be familiar with their packaging for specialty food items from chocolate to caviar. However, the high-quality packaging did not end with food; leading cosmetic manufacturers also began to rely upon the quality metal tins manufactured by Desjardin to package their products.

In 1963, the Desjardin family moved its company from Paris to settle in Gonesse in the Paris region, where it continues to remain today. Until 1981, the Desjardin family owned and operated Desjardin Metal Manufacturing. During that year, current President Pierre Gachot took over the helm of the company and began his quest of modernizing the company and developing new products. One such product was the Caviar box with a vacuum closure introduced in 1988 that was inspired by Gachot’s experience with the development of the vacuum ink box.

Today, Desjardin is recognized for its expertise in the metal tin packaging industry. They produce aluminum tin packaging for various sectors of industry, including offset inks, food, cosmetics and movie theatres.

Desjardin continuously invests in research and development to quickly respond to the growing needs of their customers. Thus the company keeps on shaping the market at the forefront of innovation. The company has mastered the manufacturing process from designing the tin boxes through the use of Computer Aided Design (CAD), producing its own tools for manufacturing, to producing the boxes themselves. The company is able to produce small, medium and very large containers in both iron or white aluminum and is fully automated and equipped with modern machinery.

Desjardin holds a leading role in vacuum packaging throughout five continents thanks to their multilingual sales team. The company’s export activities contribute to 80 percent of its total turnover. They are able to respond quickly to client requests because all design and manufacturing of any required tooling is performed internally.

Desjardin is the world market leader in the production of caviar tins and film tins. The company maintains a clean and safe production environment that benefits their employees and their community. Sustainability is of great importance to Desjardin and it is company policy to only use materials that can be 100 percent recycled. The benefit of metal packaging is that metal, tinplate and aluminum can be recycled indefinitely without the loss of quality and benefits the environment.

Los Angeles – September 20, 2016 – Over 400 cities have declared November 1, 2016, Extra Mile Day – a day to acknowledge the individuals and organizations that are dedicated to “go the extra mile” in service and volunteerism in order to create positive change in their local communities.

In connection with Extra Mile America, mayors in all 50 states have embraced the “go the extra mile” movement. The vision of motivational author and change maker Shawn Anderson, “Extra Mile Day” was created in 2009 with 23 inaugural cities. In 2015 the declaration grew to 551 participating cities, and on November 1, 2016, the number is expected to climb to 575.

“Extra Mile Day is an awesome reminder that each of us has the power to create positive change the moment we decide to do something in an area in which we care,” shares Anderson, the motivational author of Extra Mile America: Stories of Inspiration, Possibility and Purpose. “It could be volunteering at the local animal shelter, mowing your neighbor’s lawn, or simply telling the grocery clerk ‘thank you for your service.’ Going the extra mile can happen in a thousand different ways and it is in doing that little bit more where change happens.”

First-term Mayor Derek Easterling from Kennesaw, Georgia, lives the Extra Mile Day mission. As a decorated Naval Officer, former County Sheriff, current co-President of the Awtrey Middle School PTSA, and a person dedicated to helping special needs children, Easterling shares, “A friend of mine tells everyone he meets, ‘If you want something different, you have to do something different.’ Change often requires you to go the extra mile to achieve a successful outcome and is created only through involvement and commitment to a purpose.”

Extra Mile Day Founder Anderson concludes, “Extra Mile Day is more than one day in the year to recognize ‘go the extra mile’ heroes; it is a reminder that the moment that we individually choose to ‘go the extra mile’ and give more of ourselves is the exact moment where our world starts to change for the positive.”

HVAR, Croatia – Ambitious foodie startup HVAR GOURMET announces that it is raising funds via crowdfunding platform KICKSTARTER in order to implement direct delivery of their premium, gourmet, small-batch olive oil. The company set out to raise €10,000 on Kickstarter to purchase bottling equipment (with €7,368 raised to date) so that they can begin direct delivery of premium olive oil, the freshness of which would be otherwise unavailable to customers.

Unlike wine, olive oil does not get better with age, and the closer you are to the pressing, the better the oil quality. This race against time underpins the urgency of Hvar Gourmet’s ambitious direct-to-customer delivery model. With traditional store bought oil, customers are left with ambiguous harvest dates and often stale oil (sometimes years out from the original harvest); with Hvar Gourmet, customers are guaranteed a superior fresh-taste experience.

Aside from the direct-delivery model, Hvar Gourmet offers a superior olive oil. There is a reason why it is the house olive oil of Hvar Island’s #1 restaurant, the world renowned Dalmatino. The lingering, black peppery taste of Hvar Gourmet’s oil (due in part to the characteristics of the regional Oblica olive and to a slightly earlier harvest) has gained it a dedicated following around the world. It has a pungent taste, low acidity, high levels of polyphenols (healthy antioxidants), and is 100% certified organic — everything you could ask for in an olive oil.

Lastly, the process of Hvar Gourmet’s olive oil production is a no holds barred gourmet oriented process. They obsessively run a business model that is focused on quality, not corner-cutting, and this has yielded them consistently high-quality results throughout the years. Some examples of the process:

• Olives picked in October. This is considered “early-harvest” and they have found it leads to consistently better tasting oil. The downside: less oil per kilo of olives compared to later harvests.

• They hand pick their olives. Machine harvesting and using nets on the ground can lead to bruising and premature oxidation of the olives, so they avoid this at all costs. They also NEVER use olives that have already fallen to the ground.

• They are 100% certified organic. All of their oil is HR-EKO-02 certified and they don’t use chemicals or sprays. What does this mean? Lots of manual work and lots of love.

• Their oil is cold-pressed at room temperature and is left raw and unfiltered.

• They bottle into attractive UV proof ceramic bottles, offering superior protection to the olive oil (which is easily damaged by UV rays) verses cheaper transparent glass alternatives.

For generations, the Milicic family has been making olive oil on Hvar Island, Croatia, which is incidentally also one of the most beautiful and frequented tourist destinations in Europe. For the last 10 years, the family has been refining their harvesting and olive pressing techniques with their family-owned mill and methodical lab testing. The result: an oil that is fresh, pungent, spicy, and packed with antioxidants.

Hvar Gourmet was set up in Hvar, Croatia in 2016 by international foodies Danica Milicic and her fiancee Tom Wessling as an outlet for their family’s olive oil and agriculture activities. It has enjoyed early traction with the success of its flagship Zmaj gourmand olive oil.

Los Angeles, CA – September 20, 2016 — Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® announced an exclusive story featuring Serraview, a leading provider of workplace management and optimization software. Ian Morley, the company’s Co-Founder/Chief Evangelist will be discussing Serraview’s innovative workplace management software that can help businesses save a lot of money on their building space.

Morley says that today’s companies are overspending on property costs by millions of dollars. He says, “When you consider that property costs are usually the second or third largest expense for most businesses, straight after labor and technology costs, shaving even a couple of percent off the cost of real estate can add considerable amounts to your bottom line. Serraview’s got a range of technologies that help companies really ‘right size’ the amount of real estate that they need. The way we do that is by measuring how many people come in to the building on any given day, so there’s space utilization, and then we provide some tools to help ‘right size’ that portfolio based on how much space they actually need.”

In discussing Serraview’s appearance on the show, JL Haber, Vice President of Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®, stated “Serraview has burst onto the scene with great force. They have won many awards and received a lot of recognition since their inception only a few short years ago, which isn’t hard to believe once you see the huge impact they have already made on today’s businesses. We couldn’t be happier to feature Serraview on our show.”

“Serraview has always been passionate about making buildings work for people,” continued Morley. “That means helping companies transition to more modern workplaces that support the business culture they need to be competitive, while saving millions in property costs at the same time.”

About the company’s collaboration with the show, Morley added, “At Serraview, our business depends on connecting with forward-thinking global business leaders, and Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® provides the perfect platform to discuss the insights and solutions companies need to transition to the workplace of the future.”

As a result of Serraview, buildings are used more efficiently, workforces are more productive and space costs are reduced by up to 30%. Serraview was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in both Melbourne, Australia and New York City, New York.
