Sunday, May 17th, 2015


Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) May 12, 2015

Progressive Media Group Inc., a leading provider of business and corporate holiday e-cards, has used the post-holiday period to redesign its website, develop a new slideshow e-card product and offer a new service to address one of the painful tasks for any company: cleaning up its e-mailing list.

The company, based in Toronto, serves corporate clients throughout the U.S. and Canada, designing e-greetings as a modern, environmentally friendly way for them to send holiday and New Year greetings to their customers, clients and partners.

Were excited to launch the new site, cards and service and to offer additional options to our customers, notes Derek De Giovanni, Founder of Progressive Media Group Inc. We continue to evolve our products and services, ensuring were keeping up with the latest technologies and making it as easy as possible for companies to send anywhere from 100 to thousands of e-cards for the holidays.

De Giovanni notes that the new webiste is easier to navigate and includes all information on each type of business e-card available, including pricing, for easier comparisons among products. There is also a new FAQ section allowing customers and potential customers to get answers to questions even faster.

Among the customer favorites available on the site, the companys newest offering, a slideshow e-card, is one of the most versatile products offered to date.

The slideshow e-cards can be used for many purposes, including greetings, announcements, demonstration videos, product presentations, lighter training videos, real estate property videos, lobby screen videos the list goes on, explains De Giovanni. As with all of our products, there are many samples available on our new website, which showcase our ability to create highly customized e-cards, personalized with our clients logos, corporate colors, photos and images to create a uniquely individual end-product that reflects each companys brand and message.

Another development many customers will find extremely useful is the e-mail list cleaning service, offered at a very reasonable price. The service will help companies ensure their seasonal greetings, marketing emails and important announcements dont get lost in intended recipients spam mailboxes.

This service is a natural extension of our corporate holiday e-card business, explains De Giovanni. We recognize that an up-to-date e-mail list is one of the essential ingredients for a successful e-card program, and this service will take that pain point away from our clients. Scrubbing the recipient list will also improve other email marketing efforts for our clients throughout the year, by ensuring reduced bounce rates and spam complaints, while improving conversion rates and increasing profits, as marketing emails reach companies intended recipients.

While a good portion of the United States and Canada are finally beginning to enjoy spring weather, De Giovanni believes its never too early to think about holiday greetings.

Even if youre not ready to place an order, we encourage everyone to visit our new site and become familiar with the products. If youre looking to differentiate your company, think about sending an e-card or announcement at another time of year, as well, to keep your name at the forefront of your customers and clients minds. Business e-cards are a simple, effective, and eco-friendly way to remind everyone of your products and services, regardless of the time of year.

Corporate Relocation Volume and Budgets on the Rise According to Atlas Van Lines’ Corporate Relocation Survey

Saturday, May 16th, 2015


Evansville, Ind. (PRWEB) April 23, 2015

According to one of the nation’s leading movers, Atlas Van Lines, the past year was one of increased corporate relocations. In response to the 48th Annual Corporate Relocation Survey, 49 percent of firms saw relocation volumes increase in 2014 and roughly half expect volumes to increase further overall and internationally in 2015.

As volumes increased in recent years after the Great Recession, budgets did not keep pace. However, in 2014, nearly half of companies indicate their relocation budgets finally increased and almost half believe their budgets will increase again in 2015. Even with budget increases occurring, the way relocation dollars are allocated has fundamentally changed. As volumes increase and reimbursement methods for current employees remain similar to recent years, full reimbursement of expenses for new hires has fallen out of favor in comparison to lump sum payments and partial reimbursement. Therefore, the industry can expect to see less full reimbursement coverage and more lump sums. In addition, roughly two-thirds of respondents indicate they are using alternative assignments of some type, far more than in the previous three years.

“We’re thrilled to see our longest running industry survey results identify increased relocation volume and budgets,” said Jack Griffin, president and COO of Atlas World Group. “Our human resource and mobility peers expect corporate relocations to increase throughout the remainder of 2015, and we look forward to working alongside them to identify key insights that will continue to assist them in their profession.”

Basic 2014 Results:

On average, companies relocated 50-99 employees in 2014.
The greatest growth in relocation occurred at international firms with more than half reporting increases in both overall volumes and budgets.
Company growth and lack of local talent tied for the top factors that impacted relocation volumes in 2014. However, these are nearly equal in weight to economic conditions (38 percent) as well.
The real estate market’s impact on relocation is now at its lowest level since measurement began in 2007 (22 percent) at 21 percent.

Fifty-nine percent of firms saw employees decline relocation.
Roughly twice as many firms are using lumps sums to cover real estate assistance/transactions (28 percent vs. 11 percent+) or rental assistance transactions (32 percent vs. 16 percent+) than in the previous four years on average. At the same time, use of lump sums to cover miscellaneous allowances has dropped significantly (40 percent vs. 53 percent+).

Overall, firms reported company growth and the lack of local talent as nearly equal drivers of relocation last year. However, 45 percent of respondents indicated that some form of expansion listed impacted their relocation volumes, making it the top factor overall, which is significantly higher than reported in ten out of the previous twelve years. Additionally, spouse and partner employment has progressively increased as a reason for relocation declinations over the past three years and is now at its highest level since the turn of the century. However, far more firms now offer spouse and partner employment assistance. Firms of all sizes are driving the increase; however, it continues to be offered more often by mid-size (69 percent) and large (72 percent) firms than by small firms (54 percent).

2015 Survey Fast Facts:

Nearly half (49 percent) of all relocations last year were new hires.
Nearly three-fourths of those surveyed say their most frequently relocated employees are 30-40 years old.
Eighty-six percent of companies are utilizing aspects of core/flex policy and 65 percent are using alternative assignments.
Around two-thirds of firms offer employment assistance to the spouse or partner, which is far more than in previous years.
Fifty-three percent of firms are now offering elder care assistance and even more (64 percent) are offering child care help for relocating employees.
The vast majority are now performing candidate assessments (77 percent) prior to relocation offers.
For new hires, full reimbursement has fallen to the lowest levels historically (38 percent); transferees are the most likely to receive full reimbursement (66 percent) of relocation expenses.
Firms are using lump sums and partial reimbursement at similar levels: roughly half utilize lump sums for either transferees (48 percent) or new hires (51 percent) and around two-fifths use partial reimbursement for either transferees (40 percent) or new hires (41 percent). Far more firms are simply not reimbursing expenses for new hires (20 percent) or transferees (16 percent) on occasion.
Seventy-four percent of companies pay transportation expenses directly for transferees and 60 percent do so for new hires.

Nearly 500 corporate relocation professionals completed the online survey between January 20 and February 26. The respondent demographic of the annual corporate relocation survey includes human resources/personnel and relocation/mobility services departments for service, manufacturing, wholesale/retail, financial and government organizations. More than half of the companies have an international presence and relocate employees between countries. Respondents have relocation responsibility and work for a company that has either relocated employees within the past two years or plans to relocate employees this year.

Atlas continues to anticipate and answer trends. Findings from the Annual Survey inform the development of new service options. For example, with the shift in full reimbursement of expenses for new hires to lump sum payments, the launch of this year’s survey results follows the release of movr, the first web-based portal from a moving company to offer a one-stop resource for an employee’s relocation needs. Customers in motion can use movr, for assistance in finding a new home, utility setup, mail forwarding, storage and more.
