Vanilla Video Acquires Premium Domain Videographer.com

A Chicago-based video production company acquires premium domain Videographer.com for an undisclosed amount. The search term "videographer" receives tens of thousands of monthly searches, with advertisers paying $3.00 per click, on average, for the keyword. Read related news now.

Vanilla Video operates a well-established brand in the Chicago area, providing video production services to Fortune 500 companies, weddings, athletes, musicians, events, startups, non-profits, schools and governments. According to the Vanilla Video website, the company has provided at least 3,400 customers with videography services and employs several full-time videographers.

With a steady growth rate, and now handling 600+ projects per year, Vanilla Video is one of the industry-leading video production companies by volume. "People love online shopping. Clients visit our website and it handles most of the sales process for us, including quotes," explains Co-Founder Frank Romano. "Video is not simple, but our unique pricing structure allows quotes to be finely-tuned for any situation or budget. Best of all, many clients can quote themselves."

One unique aspect about Vanilla Video is the a la carte price structure. Customers are able to pick-and-choose exactly what is, or is not, included in a video production. Similar to choosing ingredients – Vanilla Video allows clients to opt-in or opt-out of lighting, production assistants, length of setup time, number of videographers, camera types, etc. Frank explains, "Every aspect of the video production can be chosen by the customer without talking to a salesperson. There is nothing like Vanilla Video. It's easy and transparent. It's popular. People love Vanilla Video."

Vanilla Video has experienced strong year-over-year growth in 2018 and 2019, and consistent growth since launching in 2012. The company strategically shifted its focus to corporate clients in 2015 and stopped advertising to weddings and personal events. The company still handles at least 150+ weddings per year; however, the service appeals to out-of-town business customers who need a videographer. While Vanilla Video is popular with locals, the company also attracts clients from 300+ miles away – in-part, due to online ordering and their simplified pricing.

"Our strength over traditional videographers, and video production companies, is leveraging technology. The industry is dominated by part-time freelancers. They lack focus. They fail to invest in technology-based processes. Ultimately, they do not take the business-side of video production seriously," says Corey Olson, Vanilla Video CEO & Co-Founder, "Videographer.com will be our premium brand, essential to our national growth strategy. Vanilla Video is a great brand, but it is limited to affordable video production by design. We believe operating both websites, and targeting different types of customers on each, is one key to further growth."

The website for Videographer.com is currently under construction. A few pages, and some content, are available. Vanilla Video notes Videographer.com receives regular updates and expects the website to be fully operational in 2020. Vanilla Video plans to continue using VanillaVideo.com for its business and operate Videographer.com as a separate division.

"Acquiring Videographer.com was a perfect fit for us," Corey continued, "Co-branding Vanilla Video with Videographer.com boosts our credibility, and trust on the web. Our website is the primary driver of leads as we do zero outbound sales. This is really a great investment for us."

The deal is reported to have taken several months. Vanilla Video was able to acquire similar premium domains, including the complements – Videographer.net and Videographer.org Read latest news here.

More than 600 Barbies with Prosthetic Legs Donated to Children of Shriners Hospitals

When 18-year-old Chloe, a longtime patient of Shriners Hospitals for Children®, saw that Barbie® made a doll with a prosthetic leg – the Barbie Fashionista™ Doll #121 – she was more than excited, and she wanted to share them with others like her, too.

On Monday, Chloe and her mom delivered more than 400 of the Barbie dolls – collected through family and friends – to Shriners Hospitals for Children — Springfield in Massachusetts. Mattel, Inc., maker of Barbie, sent an additional 200 dolls to the hospital. Chloe was able to present one of the dolls to a fellow patient during her visit, and she says she hopes her donation will help other kids and teens with limb differences feel more confident.

Read all the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/jabberjot-experts-say-award-winning.html

As a teen with a prosthetic leg, Chloe didn't have a doll that looked like her while growing up, so she knew this would mean a lot to others with limb differences. She decided she wanted to collect as many of the dolls as she could for other kids at the Springfield Shriners Hospital, where she has received prosthetic services since she was a toddler.

Chloe's mom, Cindy, took to social media to ask friends and family to purchase the dolls as they found them, offering to pay. The request went viral and eventually Barbie herself got word of their efforts and replied to a tweet from Chloe's brother who shared the story on Twitter. "The world needs #MoreRoleModels like Chloe. Sending a little something your way, @shrinershosp," said the Tweet from Barbie. Donations poured in, filling Chloe's dining room. No one asked to be reimbursed.

The donated dolls will serve as tools in therapeutic education and medical play for kids facing amputation – and their siblings – to help explain their situation, says Brock McConkey, CPO, Manager, Pediatric Orthotic and Prosthetic Services (POPS) — Northeast, LLC. McConkey is the prosthetist who has fabricated and fitted Chloe with her legs for most of her life, and the person she says inspired her to make the donation.

This generous gift will be shared with Shriners Hospitals for Children's 16 Pediatric Orthotics and Prosthetics Services (POPS) locations around the U.S., where our teams design and customize orthotics and prosthetic devices that are tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Be alert to the latest news.

We are very grateful to Chloe, her mom, and the friends and families who supported these efforts, and to Mattel for their donation and their inclusive range of dolls to inspire kids like Chloe.

Student Surveys Conducted by Industry Leader Pride Surveys Along with Surveys Conducted by Two Additional Organizations Show Large Increases in Vaping by 12th Graders

Statistics from Pride Surveys, a national leader in student survey data collection, show that vaping increased across the board for all students in grades 6-12 over a two-year period. The largest increase was found amongst 12th-grade students, 32.6% of whom reported using a nicotine vaporizer in the last 30 days, an increase year over year of 10.8% between 2017 and 2018.

These numbers are especially concerning given the CDC's guidance on vaping tobacco products: E-cigarettes are not safe for youth, young adults, pregnant women, or adults who do not currently use tobacco products. Equally alarming is the current outbreak of identified cases of lung disease related to vaping products.

The Pride Survey and the Pride Survey Plus collected data from 5,306 12th grade students across the country and in communities where there are active community coalitions combating substance use in youth. The data are self-reported statistics from students used to evaluate the effectiveness of programs that are being implemented in the communities and to determine the need for such programs.

The publicly funded Monitoring the Future Survey, the National Youth Tobacco Survey, and the Pride Survey all show similar rates of increase in tobacco vaping. The Monitoring the Future Survey shows a 9.9% increase over the previous year and the National Youth Tobacco Survey shows a 10.8% increase which matched the increase reported by the Pride Survey. Although the surveys are not directly comparable due to differing methodologies, question structure, and cohorts, the similarities in these statistics help validate each other.

"The news about the current health issues and, in some instances, deaths are devastating. The Wilson County Substance Prevention Coalition is taking these reports seriously and is currently looking into educational materials and programming that can be distributed/presented to our counties youth in hopes of curbing the appeal of vaping/e-cigarette use," said Jeff Hill, Director, Wilson County Substance Prevention Coalition. "The WCSPC feels that by providing access to real-time data and information, we can educate youth on the harms of e-cigarette usage, as well as parents in ways to identify when, how, and if their child may be using these products." Read this for more information.

"Here at Pride we have been monitoring e-cigarette use for our customers for the last five years and have seen the numbers explode. We feel it is important to lend our data to the conversation during this 'wild-west' time for vaporizers," said Jay Gleaton, President and CEO of Pride Surveys. "While we are still learning about the impact of vapor on the lungs, we already know about the habit-forming and developmental effects that the chemical nicotine can have on children and young adults' brains." Click here.

These survey results come at a time when big tobacco is taking notice of the trends in vaporizer products with the parent company of Marlboro buying a 35 percent stake in the vaping company JUUL for 13 billion dollars.
Pride Surveys has been collecting data on youth substance abuse and behavioral trends since 1982 and providing schools and communities with the ability to perform their own valid and reliable needs assessments tailored to the students in individual school settings.

About Pride Surveys: Pride Surveys was created in 1982 by professors at Georgia State University in Atlanta and Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KY. Their purpose was to help local schools measure student alcohol, tobacco and other drug use through the use of student surveys. Since then, the survey company has developed a full range of survey products that measure behavior on many crucial issues that can affect learning, such as school climate, family, discipline, safety, substance use, perceptions of harm and more.
