eComchain Announces New eCommerce Features around Blockchain and AI for 2020

In today's crowded marketplace of eCommerce providers, exceeding customer's expectations are crucial. The usual "nice to have" features have now become "must haves" and that is what eComchain has striven to provide to their customers in 2019; a complete out-of-the-box solution with no additional development required. Most customers today expect technology companies to also provide voice interfaces for their eCommerce storefronts as well as intelligent, personalized experience based on their past orders, search results, user clicks, and other important parameters. In 2019, eComchain customers have been able to leverage these "must haves" with just 1-click using the intuitive dashboard which are rich with features. As a one-stop-shop, eComchain has delivered a number of integrated approaches to their Enterprise-level clients who have implemented complex ERP platforms.

In July 2019, one of eComchain's clients who are a global manufacturer garage door parts, went online and was able to generate close to $200,000 (USD) in daily online revenue. They migrated from an archaic 20 year-old platform to a responsive, enhanced, feature-rich eCommerce platform on eComchain which provided them business-intelligent reports around revenue by day, week, and location as well as information regarding abandoned carts.

2019 has been a year of new developments and these have been some of the most significant advancements:

Microservices or Headless eCommerce
In October 2019, eComchain implemented this new service to enable any Content Management System (such as Drupal, WordPress or Sitecore or any other kind of CMS platform) to be able to connect with eComchain with very minimal development effort.

Marketplace Platform
Also in October, eComchain launched a new feature for supplier-dependent businesses by using eComchain's Marketplace platform to invite suppliers to upload their products / catalogs to their online store or any Amazon-like platform.

Blockchain for eCommerce
The Aviation parts industry has long had a need to be able to sell through an online store. The industry faced challenges due to the fact that parts need to be validated or certified throughout the supply chain and for the life of the product. In the first quarter of 2020, eComchain will launch a unique blockchain technology will which will track Aviation parts and utilize encryption to firmly secure the integrity of the part.

Data Science with AI
In 2020 more businesses will be focusing to increase their online revenue with new forms of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
In Decmber, eComchain is launching a solution to help businesses increase their online revenue with unique data-science algorithms which are built into eComchain's eCommerce storefronts. Preliminary testing was shown to produce a 15-25% increase in online revenue by using the historical data related to Orders, Search Results, User clicks and other important details.

B2B Industry Experts Predict Winning Marketing Trends for 2020

"If You Market, They Will Come," is a weekly marketing podcast where B2B industry experts discuss every B2B marketing subject under the sun. Looking back at their podcasts from 2019, four key marketing tactics rose to the top as the best strategies most likely to continue that B2B marketers should employ in 2020.

1. The Video Trend. In 2018, according to Wyzowl statistics, 63% of business were using video marketingout of those 82% of businesses felt it was important to their strategy and 83% reported good ROI from their video marketing efforts.1 The popularity of video likely increased in 2019 and is sure to continue an upward trend in 2020.

However, according to Sky Cassidy, CEO of MountainTop Data and cohost of "If You Market," "Video can come in all shapes and sizes, everything from 10 second advertising GIFs to hour long content videos." Moving into 2020," says Sky, "viewers will be more selective and savvier than ever. There is a saturation of video so quality content is key, also it's important that video content is targeted and engages them personally and on a visceral level. Videos should educate, entertain, inform and inspire people. There is a real danger that viewer will be desensitized to video in 2020 and video that does not need to be video will increasingly be seen as a gimmick."

2. Content Marketing. According to many of Sky's guests on If you Market, content marketing will grow even more popular in 2020. As one guest put it, "People have been so bombarded with slogans and advertising messages over the years that they've lost trust. Powerful content, especially given by experts of any given field, has premium value today. Compelling content generates trust that leads to eventual sales. Like video though content in general has reached a saturation point so providing real value to a targeted audience is key."

What makes "compelling content?" The title of a book of another of Sky's guests, Randy Frisch, says it all: "F#ck Content Marketing, Focus on Content Experience." Said differently, content for the sake of content isn't enough. Whether it be video, audio, or the written word, you must create a moving experience for the prospect. In 2020 it will be the personal interactive experience that the customer has with your content that will make your content compelling enough to rise to the top. B2B marketing messages are often cookie cutter and don't steer the buyer to the next logical step in the funnel, which is either the close, or a step away. If your content is experiential and engages your audience on a deeper level, then your marketing message has that much more impact. Smart B2B marketers will find ways to give their audience a better content experience at every stage of the buyer's journey in 2020.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/netnumber-expands-number-portability.html

One of the best and fastest growing methods to deliver a great experience to your prospects with content marketing is to start your own podcast. Nearly a quarter of all podcast listeners have gotten started in the last six months. What's more, 51% of the U.S. population over the age of 12 has listened to a podcast.2

3. Sales and Marketing Funnels. As in 2019, it is believed that sales and marketing funnels are likely to continue to merge in 2020, again, making the buyer's journey more personal. As Laura Patterson of Vision Edge described it in an "If You Market" podcast, "Because business buys are generally more complex than B2C interactions, the buyer's journey with B2B is even more important than that of B2C. The purchases often involve consultations and coordination with representatives and sales personal, rather than, say, just adding things to your cart in a grocery store."

Last year the number of B2B buyers that said they found interacting with a sales representative superior to gathering information on their own was slightly higher. Although even more transactions should close digitally in 2020 than prior years, the merging of a sales representative with digital should also increase. This trend should cue sellers to look at ways of increasing their product or service value through more involvement with a live person on transactions.3 A big part of the merging of the funnel will be the increased value of being more personal and more human. As automated interactions increase human interaction will become even more important.

4. Product Centric to Consumer Centric. Product Centric marketing focuses on the seller's product. Consumer Centric Marketing focuses on the seller's customer's needs and wants. Given that presenting the customer with a good experience is desirable it naturally follows that Consumer Centric is the preferred marketing method in 2020. As Laura Hall, senior manager of marketing communications and content at SalesLoft, said in an "If You Market," podcast, "You want to create consumer centric content that aligns with your overall message and your mission and helps your target audience, your readers, accomplish their goals because you're really there to help them achieve something that they want or they need." Creating products and content that delivers what customers need and want will obviously contribute to a pleasurable experience for prospects. As verticals mature they commoditize and customer experience and addressing the customers direct needs becomes the focus. This is happening in the MarTech space right now and will be a big trend in 2020 B2B marketing. Read all the related news.

In summary, the panel of experts that participated in the 2019 best "If You Market" podcasts predict that the winning formulas for 2020 will be:

1. Content Marketing that focuses on a pleasant, helpful and sometimes interactive experience.
2. Video Marketing that engages viewers with compelling content that goes beyond the cliched messages that many companies engage in.
3. Marketing Funnels that involve marketing and sales working together with interactive steps to make the customer experience more personal.
4. Consumer-Centric Marketing that talks to the prospect directly about their problems and lifestyles in a way that makes the marketing message resonate with them.

Cassidy encapsulates it this way: "The sentiment that runs through all the 2020 predictions is that successful B2B marketing efforts will be more personal, interactive, and experiential for buyers. It is the year of the customer.

Myrtle Beach Community Partners with Salvation Army and The Marines Toys for Tots Horry County Chapters

Grande Dunes, a master-planned community based in Myrtle Beach is participating in the Salvation Army Angel Tree and the Marines Toys for Tots programs to benefit children in need across Horry County.

The Salvation Army Angel Tree originally held 30 ornaments, each representing a child in need in Horry County. All 30 ornaments have already been selected and gifts are currently being returned under the tree located at the Grande Dunes Ocean Club. Both residents and the public can still give monetary donations at any time. The Salvation Army Angel Tree has been a long-running tradition in the Carolinas and has helped thousands of children in need since its inception in 1979.

Grande Dunes also participated in the United States Marine Corps' Toys for Tots program by hosting several drop-off locations throughout the community. Participants of the program donated unwrapped toys for children ages for 0-12 years of age and dropped them off at the Ocean Club, Members Club or Marina Ship Store, located at the Grande Dunes Marina. Last year alone, the Toys for Tots program provided 7 million gifts to children across the country.

"The team at Grande Dunes was thrilled to see the community come together for these fantastic causes. Both the Salvation Army and the Marines help so many children each year, and it was no surprise to any of us to see the generosity of our residents and members make a difference," said Peggy Davis, Lifestyle Director for Grande Dunes.

Small Business Owners to Big Brands: “You Don’t Get It”

Small business owners overwhelmingly report that the businesses that market to them neither understand nor listen to them. This makes selling to this group problematic for large and medium sized businesses, who need to take the time to understand the mindsets of Small Business Owners (SBOs). On the 55th episode of the "If You Market" podcast, an authority in business-to-small business marketing explains how large business can improve their success rates.

"SBOs consistently express their dissatisfaction (and distrust) with brand marketers' abilities and attempts to sell and market to them," said Dan Gliatta, CEO of Cargo, a B2B marketing company that helps large brands market to small businesses. "On average, over 50 percent of SBOs feel big brands and markete rs are ineffective in engaging and marketing to them. Which means either one in two brands are failing or 50 percent of every brand's marketing spend is wasted." Click here to read the latest news.

Cargo studies have shown that most SBOs fall into one of two groups; Crusaders or Artisans:

The two groups share an emotional attachment to their business that is particular to SBOs — and is the piece larger companies frequently neglect when marketing to them.

"To them, everything is personal, so marketers wanting to engage and motivate them need to get them to feel if they want to get them to act," Gliatta said.

Karla Jo Helms, CEO of JoTo PR, and co-host of the IYM podcast, agrees. "Emotion drives (small businesses) today. That's the biggest thing, especially in B2B. People don't realize that, they think buying decisions are rational."

Sky Cassidy, "If You Market" podcast Host and CEO of MountainTop Data, underscored the considerable difference there is between marketing to a large company and a small one.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/owlet-raises-24-million-in-series-b.html

"There's a vast difference in how you market to an enterprise company, marketing manager, and a business owner," Cassidy said. "The (first) one you can say, 'This is going to make your job more convenient, make you look good.' They're sold on it.

"The business owner needs to see profit, needs to know they're not wasting their money because they could give that money to you or they could take their kids to Disneyland. And that's what you're up against with the business owner versus the marketing manager." Be alert to the latest news.

Insiders say the ability to appeal to the emotional side of the SBO will become more important, as so-called Millennials – those born between the years 1980-2000 – are the fastest-growing segment of SBOs and may be more inclined to own a small business than members of older age groups. A study released in 2017 found, among other favorable statistics, that Millennials have more experience with small business and greater desire to start businesses than previous generations.(1)

Another study found that Millennials are starting businesses at an earlier age than did previous generations, they're launching more small businesses, and leading larger teams.(2)

"Millennials think, act and behave differently than most of their predecessors," said Gliatta. "They're driven by purpose and passion and cause just as much as they're driven by the bottom line, if not more. With this in mind, Cargo is kicking off the next decade with a proprietary, AI-driven study that will lend insight to better understand and solve the Millennial SBO riddle."

According to the United States Census Bureau, there were 83.1 million Millennials in the United States in 2015. By the end of 2019 they are expected to have overtaken "Boomers" – generally, those born between 1946 and 1964 – as the most populous age group in the United States.3

"EPIC is our featured listing because it's rare to find a luxury short-term apartment complex in San Jose with a pet policy. This property is pretty amazing."

Today’s Inspired Latina Releases Today’s Inspired Young Latina In National Book Launch

Several young Hispanic women showcased their gratitude and joy as proud first-time authors as they and Jacqueline S. Ruiz, the creator of the international Today's Inspired Latina (TIL) book series, launched the book debut of "Today's Inspired Young Latina" in front of friends and family.

The festive event recently took place at J. C. Restoration, a premier Hispanic-owned restoration company in Rolling Meadows. Written by Ruiz and Alexandria Rios Taylor with a preface by acclaimed Hispanic actor Edward James Olmos, the book details stories of young Latinas overcoming obstacles and creating their own opportunities, as they become part of a dynamic and inspirational generation in American society.

"Today is another amazing representation of what it means to believe in a dream that is bigger than all of us," said Ruiz, one of the book's co-authors. "And today we have the privilege of elevating 14 young Latinas that reached out to us. They believe in something. They wowed us with their presentations that captivated our hearts and minds." Be alert to the latest news.

The contributing authors in the book are: Evelyn Lozano, Alondra Ivette Guevara, Arianna Urrutia, Gina Aridal Pardino, Giselle Gonzalez, Andrea Vallejo, Samantha Ante, Maria Clara Ospina, Daniela Limon, Yahayra Argueta, Erica Franco, Gabrielle Hernández Franch, Evelyn Lonzano, Scarlett Magaña-Singh.

Ruiz explained that the idea about getting young Latinas to share their stories came from TIL author Elizabeth Colón-Rivera. From then the seed was planted to premiere the first ever Young LATINATalks at Naperville's North Central College in September. A natural extension was to then capture these stories in an anthology book.

Hernández Franch, one of the book's authors, wrote about her initial dreams of becoming a doctor. Life and God had other plans for her. Becoming a contributor was as an amazing journey for her.

"People say that there are three things that change your life," she said. "It's the people you meet, the events you attend and the books that you've read have the power to change your life. And I'm here at this stage, at this incredible event with the right people holding the right book." Read all the latest news.

Taylor, also the dean of students at Glenbard West High School in Glen Ellyn, would have appreciated a book like this when she was a teenager. Unfortunately, there were not many inspirational stories to find. She hopes that will change with this new book.

"When I was in high school, there was very little representation of Latino authorship," she said. "There were very few stories that I could identify with or relate to culturally. These ladies are changing that narrative and unleashing the endless possibilities for their generation." Continue reading.

Today's Young Inspired Latina is available on Amazon for $14.97.

Call-Push-Shock: A Growing Public Health Movement That Can Save Thousands of Lives Each Year

Call-Push-Shock, a social media campaign designed to encourage bystander action in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, is becoming a national public health movement. Results of the initiative, co-sponsored by Parent Heart Watch and the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation and grounded in research by global consumer research firm, StrataVerve, were presented at the Cardiac Arrest Survival Summit in Seattle earlier this month.

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a national public health crisis. About 1,000 people suffer SCA outside hospital settings every day in the U.S. On average, only in one in 10 victims survives. Those who survive invariably received immediate CPR and quick treatment with a defibrillator.

The Call-Push-Shock initiative was developed in response to an appeal from the Institute of Medicine (IOM), now the National Academy of Medicine, urging collaboration among stakeholders to help improve survival from sudden cardiac arrest. The purpose of the campaign is to motivate bystanders to call 911, give CPR, and use AEDs (automated external defibrillators) to help save lives threatened by sudden cardiac arrest. One of the ways to help improve survival, according to the IOM, is for organizations to speak in one voice with consistent messaging aimed at increasing rates of bystander intervention with CPR and use of AEDs.

The Call-Push-Shock campaign is grounded in research conducted for the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation by global consumer research firm, StrataVerve, focused on public awareness, understanding, and messaging that resonates with laypersons. "Extrapolating our research results with CARES (Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival) data indicates about 14% more lives could be saved annually if we implement this strategy to clear confusion," said Jennifer Chap, principal at StrataVerve. "Understanding drives action." Read related news now.

The following definition was tested among consumers and is recommended for all to use: "Sudden cardiac arrest is a life-threatening emergency that occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. It strikes people of all ages who may seem to be healthy, even children and teens. When SCA happens, the person collapses and doesn't respond or breathe normally. They may gasp or shake as if having a seizure. SCA leads to death in minutes if the person doesn't get help right away. Survival depends on people nearby calling 911, starting CPR, and using an AED (if available) as soon as possible."

The campaign was launched in June 2018. Assets include a landing page, Call-Push-Shock.org, and a user-friendly toolkit that features the consumer-tested definition (above), an infographic, images created for Facebook and Twitter, videos of "man-in-the street" interviews, and a social media calendar with suggested posts. Assets are available in English and Spanish.

Farm Credit of the Virginias Special Assets Officer Steven Cavender Retires After 33-year Tenure

Cavender joined the Farm Credit team in 1986 after working at two different commercial banks as a Collections Officer. Since his start in the Romney, Wv. branch office, he has moved through several positions within the organization including Loan Officer, Branch Manager, Executive Loan Officer and most recently, a Special Assets Officer. In 1991, he and his family moved to the Point Pleasant, Wv. area, and has since been working from the local satellite office.

During his tenure, Cavender has been involved with many aspects of the lending world. While tasks may have shifted from writing loans to working with individual Loan Officers and outside parties, his dedication has remained strong. He notes that he has always enjoyed serving the folks of rural America and working to see that our borrowers be successful in their endeavors.

"It has been a great experience working with all the people at Farm Credit. Over the last few years, I have had the opportunity to counsel new and young Loan Officers, and really enjoyed providing them with some support and mentorship," Cavender said.

F.J. Grady, Regional Lending Manager, has worked with Cavender his entire Farm Credit career and their relationship goes back to the early 1990s. He says, "Steve's accommodating and sincere attitude are unmistakable. I do not recall anyone ever having an unkind word to say about Steve, and that includes the members he had to process repossessions from! People like Steve do not come around often in our lifetime and not only I, but also our entire organization will miss him. We congratulate him on his retirement and a job well done!" Read news here.

In his retirement, Cavender is looking forward to spending quality time with his family, fishing, and playing a few rounds of golf.
