IBISWorld Market Research

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 24, 2012

The Online Antiques and Collectible Sales industry has surged forward during the last five years, largely due to the growing ubiquity of the internet and online shopping. Despite the brief recession-induced slump in 2009, industry revenue is expected to increase at an average annual rate of 8.1% in the five years to 2012 to bring revenue to $ 5.0 billion.

Antiques and collectibles are discretionary goods that are used for collection, aesthetic and investment purposes. However, despite poor economic conditions and an economy-wide decline in demand for antiques and collectibles, the online industry was minimally impacted by recession. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Nima Samadi, “Consumers that opted to still invest in antiques and collectibles continued flocking to online establishments instead of brick-and-mortar establishments that are more expensive and have a smaller and less comprehensive selection. This allowed the industry to experience only minor revenue declines in 2009 and a strong rebound in 2010.” The Online Antiques and Collectible Sales industry carries a low level of market share concentration. The top two firms are eBay and Heritage Auctions Inc. This industry, and the prevailing e-commerce industry, is highly fragmented; the low barriers to entry encourage potential new operators to come in the market. EBay acts as host to a large number of antiques retailers, adding to the low concentration of the market overall.

Other important factors that drive industry performance include consumer sentiment and expenditure by households with incomes greater than $ 100,000. Consumers are less likely to invest in collectibles and antiques, which often require long-term investments before they appreciate in value, when they are insecure about their financial future. However, consumers who did continue to invest in antiques and collectibles increasingly turned to the internet, which lessened the blow for the industry. Wealthy consumers are the industry’s key target market. As household expenditure for wealthy consumers rises, they will buy more higher-priced collectibles and antiques. The percentage of households earning over $ 100,000 fell 7.0% in 2008, though it has consistently increased in the years thereafter. This has helped the industry to sustain demand despite recessionary conditions, says Samadi. In the coming years, continued economic recovery is expected to contribute to the industry’s strong growth. Increases in per capita income and employment will improve consumer sentiment, increasing consumers’ likelihood to buy collectibles and antiques. Also, broadband internet adoption will grow in the next five years, boosting online retailers’ accessibility. IBISWorld forecasts that these factors will cause industry revenue to grow over the five years to 2017.

Scott Garber, GoldMax USA co-founder

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 02, 2012

GoldMax USA, a trusted buyer of gold and silver and one of the largest precious metals buyers in the United States, was named the number one fastest-growing private company in Atlanta, Georgia by the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Pacesetter Awards, during a breakfast held on Friday, April 27, 2012, at the Cobb Galleria Centre. This prestigious award recognizes the growth of GoldMax along with its excellent customer service, business partnerships, and having the right talent. The event held at the Cobb Galleria Centre, drew a sold-out crowd of 460 people.

The Pacesetter Awards recognize the 50 fastest-growing companies in the metro-Atlanta area. To qualify for this prestigious list, a company must be privately-held, based in the metro Atlanta area and have experienced a two-year growth in sales of more than 50 percent with 2011 revenues between $ 1 million and $ 300 million.

GoldMax was originally established in Georgia as Southeast Gold Buyers in Atlanta in 2009 by CEO Scott Garber. In 2011 alone, the company quadrupled its revenues, as gold prices have increased in recent years. The number of locations continues to expand and, by 2016, GoldMax hopes to have at least 900 locations nationwide.

“It is a huge honor to receive the Pacesetter Award and be named the fastest-growing company in metro-Atlanta especially considering the caliber of companies that have been recognized with us,” said Garber. “A number of factors have aligned in our favor in recent years that have led to our overall success. A success that also wouldn’t be possible without our entire, dedicated GoldMax team. We believe in helping the communities not only by providing liquidity in such a difficult economy, but also by helping and dedicating our time and other resources to really make a difference.”

GoldMax attributes the fast-growth to the company’s high growth model that is focused on providing consumers liquidity for historically illiquid assets. GoldMax is dedicated to providing an upscale environment where consumers can feel comfortable selling their gold and silver jewelry and coins. GoldMax will purchase gold (any karat), silver, platinum, necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, charms, watches, broken jewelry, diamonds, coins, paper currency, sterling silver flatware, tea sets, and candlesticks.

“GoldMax has an incredibly bright future ahead of them and it is an honor to have the opportunity to work with Scott and the entire GoldMax team,” said Charles Bailey, partner at Habif, Arogeti & Wynne, LLP, Georgia’s largest independent accounting firm, and nominator of GoldMax for the Pacesetter Awards. “Congratulations to the team on this distinguished recognition and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for the company.”

About GoldMax:

GoldMax USA, founded in 2009, is a trusted and Better Business accredited buyer of precious metals. GoldMax was just recognized as a 2012 Top Workplace by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution – one of the best companies to work for in the metro-Atlanta area as determined by its employees. GoldMax will purchase gold and silver jewelry in any condition, as well as gold estate jewelry, diamonds, coins, silver flatware, high end watches, pocket watches, gold and silver bars, silver jewelry, platinum and paper currency.

Chino Hills, CA (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

Personal Trainer Marketing Expert Sam Bakhtiar, CEO of Fitness Concepts, is offering his $ 97 e-book “Six-Figures In 67 Days” absolutely FREE for April and May as part of a special springtime promotion. “Spring cleaning is not just for your home – it’s for your mind and your business,” Sam explains. “It’s time to throw away all those old practices that aren’t working, organize and systematize how your enterprise operates, and polish up your program so it’s more presentable to your prospects.”

“Six-Figures In 67 Days” is a step-by-step “how-to” guide to earning six-figures through personal training, boot camp operation and fitness business entrepreneurship. “There is no affiliate marketing or MLM recommendations here,” Sam assures new prospects. “Some people may earn their riches through those channels, but I’ve always believed in providing the best possible personal training product and finding the personal trainer marketing tools that are the most cost-effective to build a successful business. I also believe in setting up systems and delegating tasks to free up time, so you can actually enjoy the lifestyle you’ve worked so hard to achieve. I’ve always said… If you’ve built this massive empire, but have no time for family and friends, then what good is it?”

The personal trainer marketing manual will tell trainers how to:

    Avoid common time-killers that slow down the path to six-figures
    Create a six-figure training business before the website has been designed
    Network and find prospective training clients even before business cards have been printed
    Manage the design of a website and get to the top of the search engines in 2 weeks or less
    Get 10 new clients per week by convincing them to dump their gyms
    Drive leads through the roof and get one’s phone ringing off the hook
    Spend money in ways that are measurable, meaningful and most effective.

“This blueprint is seriously an idiot-proof program,” Sam laughs. “All you have to do is take it step-by-step and follow each tweak to your business model and you’ll be well on your way to earning $ 100,000 or more this year.” In addition to this valuable-but-free personal trainer marketing manual, Sam also offers one-on-one business coaching phone consultations and invites interested parties to attend one of his dynamic weekend masterminds, which gather the fitness multi-millionaires under one roof to inspire and transform lives.

“Spring is a time where it’s ‘out with the old’ and ‘in with the new,’” Sam says, “so if you are not 100 percent satisfied with how your business is going, then it’s time for a little spring cleaning. Download this free manual and start working toward the life you’ve imagined for yourself.” To get a FREE copy of “Six-Figures In 67 Days” for personal trainer marketing advice, visit http://www.Super-Trainer.com.

Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) March 09, 2012

Providing an opportunity to make a wish really count, Aura Cacia, along with the Frontier family of branded products, is handing out 5,000 wooden coins valued at $ 1 each at Natural Products Expo in Anaheim. Aura Cacia is encouraging Expo West attendees to stop by their booth location (#3633) and drop a wooden dollar token in the project well of their choice. In conjunction with the school that is currently being built with money from Aura Cacia’s 1% Fund, Expo attendees will get to designate whether their dollar supports the hiring of teachers, furnishings, or textbooks at the new school. At the end of the trade show, Aura Cacia’s parent company, Frontier Natural Products Co-op, will make a donation in the amount of dollar tokens collected to help continue supporting the school being built.

“To build a school and bring clean water to 25,000 people in Madagascar all in one year is truly amazing,” explains Steve Shriver, VP of Communications for Frontier Natural Products Co-op. Aura Cacia employees will be wearing “Dig It” t-shirts and traversing the exhibit halls to pass out the wooden dollar tokens. Video clips of the school projects from Madagascar, as well as the products sourced from there will be on display at the Aura Cacia booth. “To have our customers join us in the great work we do around the world, that’s what being a coop is all about!” Shriver adds. The fun doesn’t end at the project wishing wells, though.

Mixology is the theme at the Aura Cacia booth (#3633) where you’ll be able to mix essential oil products. Aromatherapy experts Tim Blakley and Charlynn Avery will be mixing mini misters for guests highlighting three new essential oils that launch on Friday – Helichrysum, Lemon Balm and Tasmanian Lavender. Also, being showcased are five new Aura Cacia Essential Solutions Mists. Each mist is designed for specific aromatherapeutic benefits, whether you’re searching for a natural perk up or a chill-out moment.

GoldMax USA provides free evaluations, no obligation quote, within a comfortable, high class setting.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 04, 2012

With more than 200 stores in operation from coast to coast, GoldMax USA expansion in Southern California, Georgia, and Texas continues with the opening of three new locations in these regions. GoldMax will celebrate the opening of a new store on April 5 in the Rancho Bernardo area at 11948 Bernardo Plaza Drive in San Diego, Calif.; at 2300 Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell, Ga.; and at 6505 West Park Blvd. Unit #328, in the Prestonwood Park Center in Plano, Tx. GoldMax now has 36 stores open in Southern California, 70 stores in Georgia, and 3 stores in Texas. Late last month, GoldMax entered the Minnesota market with a store opening at the renowned Mall of American in Bloomington and Roseville, Minn. By year end, GoldMax plans to open as many as 100 new stores in the U.S.

With Robin Leach, former host of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous as its spokesperson, GoldMax USA, the largest chain of stores specializing in buying gold and precious metals from consumers in the U.S., expects to pump more than $ 100 million into the local economy this year by offering consumers the opportunity to cash in on the escalating prices of gold and silver.

GoldMax buyer in Temecula, Calif., Maritza Banuelos recounted how a grandmother came into the store to sell her jewelry so that her one-year-old granddaughter could have a surgery that might save her life. Her granddaughter lives in Mexico and the hospital’s policy is if the surgery is not paid in advance, then the procedure cannot be performed. “She was able to obtain enough money so that her granddaughter could have surgery and, despite the 3% chance of survival the granddaughter was given, she has fully recovered,” reported Banuelos.

GoldMax has helped more than 1 million satisfied customers and that number continues to grow exponentially as the company opens additional stores around the country. According to GoldMax co-founder Scott Garber, the company hopes to have 100 stores in operation in Southern California by the end of 2012.

“There are lots of new cash for gold stores popping up, but the GoldMax brand is different,” Garber said. “GoldMax is nothing like the average pawnshop – instead, customers can come in for a free, no obligation quote, within a comfortable, high class setting – and, if they’re ready to sell, they can do so right on the spot.”

GoldMax store interiors are outfitted with a comfortable waiting area with one or two flat-screen televisions, jewelry showcases, and desks to meet privately with each customer. The stores, which range from 700 to 4,000 square feet, resemble a cross between an upscale jewelry store and a business office.

“We want our customers to feel comfortable and enjoy their experience at GoldMax,” said GoldMax Co-founder Jordan Sadoff. “Our operation certainly shatters any comparisons to a pawn shop or any other gold buying company.”

GoldMax has built a solid reputation for paying fair market value for gold, jewelry and other collectibles. GoldMax will purchase gold (any karat), silver, platinum, necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, charms, watches, broken jewelry, coins, sterling silver flatware, tea sets, and candlesticks.

About GoldMax USA

With more than 200 stores located from Los Angeles to Tampa Bay, GoldMax operates the largest chain of stores specializing in buying gold and precious metals from consumers. Last year, GoldMax pumped more than $ 75 million into the local economy and opened more than 70 stores across the U.S. GoldMax plans to open 100 new stores in 2012, including stores in the Dallas-Ft. Worth market, a new market for GoldMax. GoldMax recently appointed Robin Leach, former host of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, to serve as the company spokesperson. Leach doesn’t accept payment for his endorsement of GoldMax, a rare event in the business of high-profile celebrity endorsements.

Forming Diagram in Product Consideration for Die Manufacture Excerpt

Bradenton, Florida (PRWEB) April 19, 2012

ETCO Incorporated, an American manufacturer of custom precision stampings, automotive ignition components and medical equipment announced the release of its Product Consideration Guide for Progressive Die Manufacture today. The guide was published on ETCO’s website with information to help manufacturers shorten lead times and produce higher quality components within end products.

Recognizing issues related to time constraints and efficiency when manufacturing complex parts, the engineers at ETCO prepared an eight-page guide that details the processes involved with progressive stamping. From bending to coining to punching, ETCO’s guide explains best practices for lowering production costs. The engineers walk through in text the general tolerances and standard design practices with step-by-step diagrams and explanations. Additionally, the guide covers general tolerances, standard process capabilities and a nearly exhaustive general notation section for reference.

In addressing the advantages of having a guide of this nature, Director of Engineering at ETCO, Mike Cummings states that, “this guide is important for manufacturers in general because it gives a view on using the most efficient methods for development when working with ETCO. The cost savings alone when looking at how we lay out exact tolerances and specifications is a big help for our manufacturing partners.” The release of the guide also coincides with ETCO’s push into the medical equipment and device industry, as illustrated on the ETCO website.

While ETCO has released white papers in the past specifically related to automotive parts manufacturing, this guide is the first of its kind from the company. It allows manufacturers to get a handle on costs they control within the manufacturing process. It also enables manufacturers who are new to working with ETCO a view on efficient progressive die development.

Founded in 1947, ETCO is a privately owned company. The Company manufactures precision stampings and rubber and plastic molded products used principally by major automotive and appliance manufacturers. ETCO also has major customers in a variety of other industries in the USA and over 30 countries throughout the world.

ETCO has factories and a research complex in Bradenton, Florida and a factory and engineering center in Warwick, Rhode Island.

NJCAA 75th Anniversary

Colorado Springs, Colo. (PRWEB) April 11, 2012

In May of 1938, representatives from area institutions of higher learning gathered in Fresno, Calif., to form a unique collegiate athletic organization dedicated to America’s community and junior colleges. The meeting led to the adoption of a constitution and representatives in attendance formally announced the new organization as the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).

Seventy-five years after its inaugural season (1938-39), the NJCAA is now the second-largest national intercollegiate athletic governing body in the United States with over 500 member colleges in 43 states. Recognized as the leader in two-year collegiate athletics, the NJCAA champions both athletic and academic opportunities for student-athletes in concert with its member colleges.

To commemorate its 75th Anniversary, the NJCAA will launch a year-long campaign beginning this May to celebrate the milestones, student-athletes, coaches, and administrators that have helped shape the organization and advance two-year collegiate athletics over the past eight decades.

“Throughout our illustrious history, the NJCAA has had good reason to stop and celebrate its accomplishments,” said NJCAA Executive Director Mary Ellen Leicht. “However, nothing compares to commemorating nearly eight decades of success. The NJCAA student-athlete as well as the many notable administrators, coaches and contributors have been our greatest legacy as an organization and will be the focus of our 75th Anniversary celebration.”

At the 2012 NJCAA Board of Directors Meeting in Colorado Springs, Colo., this past March, Leicht unveiled a special commemorative 75th Anniversary logo that will serve as the primary image for the organization from May 2012 to August 2013. The distinct image, created by Beam Team Design of Dallas, Texas, celebrates the significance of the organization’s special milestone as well as its leadership in college athletics. The championship banner-style icon stays true to the championship culture the organization strives for and its mountain peak icon symbolizes the achievement of ‘reaching the top’ by all former and future NJCAA student-athletes as well as representing the unique location of the organization’s national headquarters near Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs.

Throughout the 2012-13 academic year, the 75 years of the NJCAA will be highlighted utilizing various mediums, including a custom-designed section of the NJCAA website: NJCAA.org/75. Traditional press releases will be distributed to regional and national media during the 2012-13 sports season and special 75th Anniversary content will be produced for the organization’s monthly publication the NJCAA Review. The NJCAA will also use its online video network NJCAA TV- powered by iHigh.com, as well as its presence on social networking sites Facebook and Twitter to keep fans and followers informed on the latest 75th Anniversary news and announcements.

Member colleges will participate in the year-long celebration via several free tools designed by NJCAA Headquarters to be used on campuses across the nation. Athletic departments will be given access to download customizable schedule posters, game-day roster/program flyers, promotional posters and other items that can be co-branded with the commemorative NJCAA 75th Anniversary imagery.

Special uniform patches, decals, banners and other items will be available for member colleges to purchase through NJCAA Headquarters as well as 75th Anniversary branded equipment and merchandise from corporate partners Baden, Balfour, Rawlings, Tachikara and Wilson. These items will also be used at national championship tournaments and events during the 2012-13 year.

All championship trophies awarded for the 2012-13 season will also commemorate the 75th Anniversary thanks to the organization’s awards supplier Medalcraft Mint and student-athletes participating at national championship tournaments and events will wear a special 75th Anniversary logo patch on their uniform.

“The NJCAA is a terrific organization of which I am extremely proud to be a part,” said current NJCAA President Joe Tubb of South Plains College (Texas). “This is a tremendous opportunity for the NJCAA to celebrate its past, present and its vision for the future. I welcome all member colleges and their communities to help us celebrate the NJCAA’s 75th Anniversary.”

The NJCAA 75th Anniversary celebration will begin at the 2012 NJCAA Division I Baseball World Series in Grand Junction, Colo., May 26 – June 2. The event draws over 100,000 fans each year as they witness the best collegiate baseball teams in the nation fight for a national championship. A special 75th Anniversary ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, May 27th and will include former NJCAA Executive Director and pioneer George E. Killian.

This year’s tournament will mark the grand reopening of Lincoln Park and Sam Suplizio Field, which has hosted the NJCAA’s premier baseball championship since 1959. The complex will reopen on May 26th after an $ 8.3 million renovation that includes a new press box, renovated dugouts, reserved chair-back seating and more.
