Softball Fans Increase Traffic at Midlink Business Park

Kalamazoo, MI (Vocus/PRWEB) March 07, 2011

And that's a home run, not only for Softball Fans, Inc., but for the park's other retail tenants who can leverage even higher traffic counts, now that the softball and hardball equipment supplier is in the game. A record-breaking case in point--the company's January grand opening event, alone, drew approximately 2,500 customers to the new location.

"Hitting cages, pitching lanes, vendor demos, plus on-going scrimmages held throughout the day, were big attractions," says Bryan Knoll, the founder of Softball Fans. "Our new concept is catching on."

The new concept was to expand the company's online business by bringing, under one roof, 33,600 square feet of retail space and 19,000 square feet of indoor training facilities. The training facilities, which house both pitching and batting cages, in addition to a full practice infield, are intended to provide area universities and amateur teams with a world class, off-season indoor practice and training facility. Softball Fans is also offering its facilities and trainers to both individuals and recruitment camps.

"We're also catering to kids," said Knoll. That's apparently good news, because while the kids are playing at the site, their parents are shopping. And business is definitely up. Between its retail space and online site, softball Fans offers more than 10,000 skus, and ships worldwide on a daily basis.

"Our January numbers represented a significant increase in sales," Knoll continued. "Plus we look forward to a big spring with tournaments already scheduled throughout the season, and more and more bookings coming in everyday."

Softball Fans occupies 24,000 square feet at Midlink West where it also houses the company's corporate offices, warehousing and fulfillment operations. As Softball Fans has discovered, the park's location at I-94 and Sprinkle Road is ideal for retailers who depend on high daily traffic counts for business. Midlink Business Park offers a captive customer base of more than 500 park employees. In addition, more than 115,000 vehicles drive past the park every day (74,000 on I-94 and 41,000 on Sprinkle Road). Retailers also benefit from the guests registered at more than 950 hotel and motel rooms at the Midlink exit, and at the new Candlewood Suites hotel located in Midlink's 16-acre Retail Center, as well as the 500,000 annual visitors to the Wings Stadium across the street.

The EIS Association Annual Reception & Awards Supporting British Business Growth

London, UK (PRWeb UK) March 9, 2011

The industry body for the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) held its prestigious annual reception and awards ceremony last night at the House of Commons, 3rd March 2011. To a packed house, speaker, Anthony Thomson (Chairman of Metro Bank PLC) delivered a compelling speech about disrupting the market by changing the banking business model, which is exactly what Metro Bank has done and what many EIS eligible businesses and funds are doing today.

This popular annual event was well attended by more than two hundred EISA members and their guests, all interested in the direction in which EIS will take over the forthcoming years under the new Government. There was an underlying sense of optimism that EIS is one of the key pieces of armour in the Governments desire to stimulate UK business back into growth by offering real encouragement into investment into our entrepreneurial start ups (as stated by George Osborne in Cheshire recently).

The EIS Association is the official trade body for the EIS, a tax efficient scheme designed to encourage private investment in British enterprise. EIS offers investors five compelling tax breaks (see attached) that reduce their risk when investing in typically early stage companies. EIS investments can either be made in individual companies or increasingly in the form of funds. The Scheme is gathering increasing favour amongst investors and advisers, as appreciation of the tax benefits is more widely understood coupled with a desire to support the growth of British businesses. This month will also see the launch of the new EISA website completely re-designed to promote member services and to make it easier for those seeking information about EIS to access it.

Chaired by Lord Flight (a serial individual investor and business man), the Association has continued to grow year on year, now achieving over one hundred professional members from fund management companies, Legal Advisers, IFAs and Tax Accountants. EISA works professionally and successfully with HMRC and Treasury to streamline and improve the rules of the EIS and is, indeed, actively involved in the current consultation regarding proposed new changes to the tax reliefs.

Lord Flight comments I continue to take an active role in the EISA because I believe strongly in the need for government to take a lead in encouraging investment into the British businesses of the future. Offering investors strong incentives will encourage more to come forward, more innovative funds to be formed that will support more British based businesses enabling them to thrive in a global market.

This years EISA Award winners were PricewaterhouseCoopers, Best EIS Tax Adviser; Edwin Coe, Best EIS Legal Adviser and Oxford Capital Partners as Best EIS Fund Manager. A best individual or corporate contribution award was given to Modwenna Rees-Mogg, Managing Editor of Angel News for Best Individual EIS contribution for her work with business angels.

Modwenna said I am delighted and gratified to have been selected for this award, having worked with Business Angels and VCT Investors and funds for many years I am keen to promote EIS as a real alternative and one that will support the growth of business in the UK.

This years event, sponsored by Enterprise Corporate Finance, Highgate Tech Fund, Merepark Project Management, Oxford Capital Partners and RW Blears was a clear success.

Power Women Business Center Opens in Santa Clarita

Santa Clarita, CA (PRWEB) January 22, 2010

It was eight years ago that Patricia Gracia started her advertising agency from her living room, with little more than a computer, a phone, and a fax machine. With the help of sales veteran Tony Gracia three years later, that small venture became a blossoming corporation and today, Power Media Group is a multimillion dollar company targeting a booming Hispanic market.

Drawing from their own experience, the Gracias now want to help other entrepreneurs take their business to the next level.

Power Women Business Center will be the first of its kind in the region offering a fully-furnished office space at an affordable cost, along with the tools and support necessary to help accelerate the development of small businesses. The Center celebrated its Grand Opening Jan. 21.

In todays difficult economic climate, Power Women Business Center will provide relief to those entrepreneurs struggling to launch their business out of their homes but who cant afford to rent office space.

I started this business center thinking of myself eight years ago when I launched my business, Patricia said. I remember how hard it was, and how I wished there had been something like this to help me. Often times its really difficult to work out of your home but you really dont need to spend $ 800 on rent for a tiny office. This center is going to give business owners all the benefits of an office and more, at half the cost.

Member entrepreneurs will benefit from private fully-furnished cubicles complete with telephone systems, high speed internet, printers, fax and copy machines. Conference rooms, a reception lounge for visitors and a fully equipped kitchen lounge that could be used as a showroom or for networking with colleagues, will also be available.

Members will be able to use the center as their business address where on site staff, including a trilingual receptionist (English, Spanish, French), will handle all of their incoming mail and faxes. Using the latest technology in phone systems, members will have access to voicemail via e-mail which can be accessed remotely for added convenience.

The Centers services and high-tech facilities will boost entrepreneurs image by elevating their level of professionalism, said Power Media Group CEO and CFO Tony Gracia.

Prospective clients are looking for three things: pricing, product and most important, service. They want to know is this business professional enough to handle my needs? he said. I believe this Center will help a lot of businesses get to that next level faster.

To help entrepreneurs achieve their goals, the Center will leverage the resources and know-how of Power Media Group on behalf of the small businesses. The Center will offer free weekly one-hour seminars on the basic steps to successfully launch a business - everything from designing a logo to filing a fictitious name. The seminars will offer information on legal issues, laws and regulations, taxes, sales techniques and will also include tutorials on accounting systems such as Quick Books.

Its knowledge and keeping up with technology which will give businesses the power to reach heir goals, Patricia said.

Power Media Group will also help members develop a marketing and advertising strategy individually tailored to their business for an additional cost.

Every business has needs that have to be custom tailored to provide the company with a perfect suit. We look at the entrepreneurs vision and goals, at their market niche and we understand their clientele.
