Blu-Ray Technology Extends to TV Shows

Blue Ray Technologies is launching a new television division to serve the burgeoning Hi-Def TV market with Blu-ray discs. With virtually all network and cable shows now shot in High Definition, a new market for Blu-ray DVDs is springing up for TV fans.

The home market for TV show on DVD is well-established: about 100 "Complete Season" sets, specials and TV movies are released every month - more than tripling new theatrical titles.

Complete Season releases can actually be cheaper to networks and consumers than regular DVDs as 13 episodes will fit into a single 25 gigabyte Blu-ray disc, rather than four DVDs. Boxed DVD sets retailing at $49 -$79 presently could be sold in the $29 -$39 range, with store prices being much less.

Smart Age Media Is Coaching Network Marketers to Play a Bigger Game with Better Results

Smart Age Media has a very simple philosophy: Coach people how to successfully build their network through leads, and they will become long time clients.

One reason SAM is quickly gaining ground as a leader in the advertising and lead generation industries, is because they are filling a major gap. With brand new Independent Representatives entering the marketplace at an all time high, lack of training on how to use leads effectively is quickly resulting in a lack of success. "This will eventually turn into lack of desire to work the business for the new representative if not addressed right away." Said Mike Bromell, Marketing Manager at Smart Age Media.

Callgen Launches Cost-Per-Call on Google

The advertising industry is bracing itself for a possible sea-change, as UK-based Cost-Per-Call outfit Callgen today announced its first live advert on Google.

Industry analysts The Kelsey Group have estimated that Cost-Per-Call could become a multi-billion dollar field over the next few years, as the lessons learned from the explosively successful Pay-Per-Click industry are applied and refined. Callgen is the first to have live adverts running and expects to be an industry leader as Cost-Per-Call blossoms.

For advertising agencies the benefits are potentially enormous, with a healthy percentage of the revenue from the calls payable to the agency as a commission and the advertisers delighted that at last they can pay for measurable results.

As companies such as Google and Yahoo have built billion dollar concerns from Pay-Per-Click with only 30% of the business community providing the revenue, so Callgen expects to be a major player with similar potential, with virtually 100% of the business community able to participate in online advertising for the first time.

The few weaknesses in Pay-Per-Click such as the imperative need for a website and the potential for click fraud have been swept away by Cost-Per-Call, as internet advertising becomes an asset available to all businesses with a phone. The new model is far more fraud resistant and has the added benefit of only costing the advertiser when they get calls, a revolutionary concept in an industry that traditionally lacks any performance based products.

Callgen is backed by an award-winning ISP and a licensed telecoms provider, both UK-based and supported.

The future looks extremely bright for Callgen as we see the beginning of a new era, with the tried and tested internet advertising game evolving in a way that will surely revolutionise advertising completely.

Ultralink Announces Sixth Consecutive Year In Negotiating Client Healthcare Premium Increases Well Below Industry Averages

UltraLink, a leading HR and benefits management services company, today announced its sixth consecutive year of negotiating above industry average cost savings for their healthcare procurement clients. UltraLink helped their clients control healthcare costs by reducing the carrier proposed increases by one-third. Through its unique rate negotiation process and industry-leading expertise, UltraLink was once again able to save its clients millions of dollars in premiums for 2006.

J. Stephen Ashley, Senior Vice President of Client Consulting Services for UltraLink stated, “Our rate negotiation services are designed differently than those provided by most of the other national benefit consultants. Many of the larger firms often accept original proposals from the health plans because they fall within the industry averages. We never settle for what the plans initially propose. We negotiate using our tools, services and experience to dive deep into the underwriting assumptions. We challenge the health plans to prove to us that the increases they have proposed are reasonable. We are always looking at our clients’ long-term health care strategy goals, therefore our focus is not always to find the cheapest rate, but to find the right rate and the right health plan mix. Finding quality health plans ultimately saves our clients money over time by eliminating the need to change health plans

every year.”

In Their Prime, Women Face Far Greater Stroke Threat Than Men: Leading Neurologist & Stroke Specialist Discusses Unique Risk Factors, Symptoms and Prevention

Despite its standing as the third leading cause of death and the number-one cause of disability in the U.S., stroke is often a misunderstood condition - particularly among women. While it is true that men outnumber women among stroke patients over the age of 65, a new study reported at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2007 found that women between the ages of 45 and 54 are up to 2.5 times more likely to have a stroke than men in the same age group. In fact, due to differences in risk factors, symptoms and response rates to treatment, the American Stroke Association reports that in the general population nearly 50,000 more women than men in the U.S. suffer a stroke each year, and over 30,000 more women than men die as a result of their stroke.
