The Real Estate Helpers Trial Exciting New Pricing Method

Melbourne, Victoria (PRWEB) November 27, 2012

In an effort to prove that honesty really is the best policy and that there is a fairer and more accurate way of advertising houses for sale, Melbourne-based real estate specialist The Real Estate Helpers is testing a new price-quoting method that could make the process of buying or selling a home much easier for all involved.

The method entails listing a property with a price guide of “less than” the seller’s preferred amountthis way, individuals aiming to find properties to purchase will have a clear idea of the maximum price they can pay to purchase the property.

The Real Estate Helpers recently made use of this method in advertising a historic property near the town of Clunes in Victoria. Originally known as “Hogg’s Inn,” the stone homestead from the 1850s has been renovated and extended and now offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a French country-style kitchen; it sits on 3.2 hectares of land north-west of Ballarat.

The property was listed with a price guide of “Less than $ 500,000.”

“It’s a really honest way of pricing a property,” Lloyd Jenman of The Real Estate Helpers says. “I ran it past the owner and she thought it was fantastic.”

The Real Estate Helpers has a goal of providing property owners with home buying and selling solutions that serve as highly effective alternatives to the dubious strategies employed by traditional real estate agents. The new price quoting method offers a refreshing way of presenting properties for sale that can direct more qualified buyers to the right properties.

“Under-quoting the likely selling price of a property, in an effort to attract more buyers, hurts sellers as much as it does buyers, Jenman explains. “Under-quoting is a hot topic at the moment. Buyers are sick of being lied to. And thats why we decided to turn the current pricing model used by most typical real estate agencies in Melbourne upside-down.”

Selling with a Real Estate Helper enables owners to sell their house for the best price with the lowest stress. Owners seeking to sell their Melbourne metro properties get a free listing on RealEstate.com.au, a personalised property promotional plan that keeps the owners informed of every new development, excellent service from specialist real estate photographers, and personal service from a “Jenman-trained” agent.

Free online advertising on RealEstate.com.au, Australia’s number one property site, gives sellers greater opportunities to be found by serious buyers searching for quality real estate online. The Real Estate Helpers’ trained team facilitates private inspections of the houses to ensure that the property is safe and secure the entire time that it is on the market.

For homeowners comfortable with showing their property themselves to prospective buyers, The Real Estate Helpers also offers their innovative service called HelpSell. Clients can save thousands of dollars on agents’ fees by showing buyers through the house themselves while Jenman’s trained team takes care of everything else (free listings on major real estate portals, professional real estate photography, attention-grabbing copywriting, comprehensive reports on the home’s market value, and valuable presentation advice for maximising the selling price).

“Selling a house is easy if you know what to do. The problem for homeowners is most real estate agents focus more on helping themselves than they do on helping you,” Jenman points out.

“Selling a property is one of the biggest financial transactions you may make in your life… Thats why a careful and considered approach is so important and weve made it a hallmark of The Real Estate Helpers.”

Aside from providing clients with effective alternative real estate options, The Real Estate Helpers is also keen on training motivated and success-driven individuals looking for lasting real estate careers to become part of its team. “Theres no limit to your future within our company if you have big goals, an open mind, a thick skin, and genuinely care about people,” Jenman encourages. “Combine that with hard work and theres no limit to your income and growth possibilities in our company.”

Yellowfin 6.2 to Tackle Historically Low Business Intelligence User Adoption

(PRWEB) November 27, 2012

Register for the official Webinar launch here: http://www.yellowfinbi.com/YFCommunityNews-Yellowfin-6-2-launch-Webinar-A-better-way-to-deliver-BI-121552

Yellowfin CEO, Glen Rabie, said that the release included many significant enhancements and additions to the vendors Collaborative BI capabilities, aimed at addressing notoriously low BI user adoption rates.

The consumerization of BI only got it half right we needed to make BI easier; and we have, said Rabie. But most people dont want to write reports or do self-service analysis. They just want answers. And, they want to share those answers with the people they trust, enabling them to collaborate and then make better decisions. Thats what Yellowfin 6.2 is all about.

Recent studies by TDWI and BIScorecard suggest that most BI deployments only experience a 24 or 25 percent adoption rate. International analyst and advisory firm, Gartner, has previously stated that 80 percent of BI projects fail, citing poor communication and collaboration as the primary reasons.

The failure rates of BI implementations, and persistently low user adoption rates, are indeed reflective of our inability to reimagine the way in which we communicate the key messages represented by data, said Rabie. According to Information Masters, 75 percent of BI success is determined by factors other than data and core analytical technology so thinking about how data is presented, shared and discussed in order to enable effective decisionmaking is paramount.

Rabie said that when developing new content sharing and presentation functionality for 6.2, to enable a wider breadth of users and user types to benefit from BI content, Yellowfin turned to common models and patterns of content creation and consumption found in prominent social media platforms.

Bradley Horowitz, VP of Product for Google+, said Google applied the 1:9:90 rule to Google+, stating that social software sites dont require 100 percent active participation to generate great value, said Rabie. What he meant by this, is that only around one percent of users have to create content for that platform to provide a rich and valuable experience for its total usership. Nine percent of the user base then synthesizes and shares that information, while the other 90 percent simply consumes it and thats all they want to do.

Eighty to ninety percent of potential BI users simply want to use the insight generated by their BI tool to make better decisions. They dont want to create content. If you can facilitate that need, you can unlock the usefulness and power of BI and instill an analytic culture throughout an organization thats what weve achieved with Yellowfin 6.2.

New Domain Name Marketplace Opens Up Opportunities For Internet Business

Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) November 27, 2012

Kikabink International Pty Ltd (Kikabink) has launched DotBuyer, a marketplace for businesses to buy and sell Internet domain names and websites.

DotBuyer features a large inventory of domain names and websites for sale across popular niche markets. It also enables businesses to view comprehensive search engine metrics and pricing on more than 154,000 historical domain name sales.

“Domain names and websites are assets – just like real estate.” said DotBuyer co-founder Simon Johnson, “so it’s about time that businesses had the tools to buy, value and sell this virtual real estate.”

There is something for everyone – from small businesses, to advertising agencies, right up to multinational corporations searching for their next big brand. This is the place to start your domain name search.” said Johnson.

“Until now, it’s been hard for businesses to find a good domain name. Many people incorrectly assume that all the good domain names are already taken and they settle for something less. In fact, domain names can be bought and sold, just like property.” said Johnson.

This helps to educate buyers so they don’t pay too much for a domain name. The historical sales figures are powered by Domain Sales App – one of the largest databases of historical domain and website sales, dating back more than 10 years with more than 154,000 domain name sales.

Road Freight Transport in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld

Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) November 28, 2012

The Road Freight Transport industry dominates the Australian market for non-bulk freight, with advantages in price, speed, convenience and reliability compared with other modes of transport. Within cities, light commercial vehicles are the dominant form of transport for the so-called last mile of delivery of goods. Yet, the industry has experienced turbulent times in the past five years. According to IBISWorld Industry analyst Caroline Finch, the industry has been under pressure, first from rising fuel prices and then from falling demand in the wake of the global financial crisis. Over the five years through 2012-13, industry revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.4% to be worth $ 48.3 billion in 2012-13, including growth of 2.4% in the current year.

As the economy strengthens, total inventories increase as activity across retail, manufacturing and wholesale expands, boosting demand for road freight services. The long-term outlook for industry demand is positive, with the total demand for freight movements in Australia set to increase over the next five years, says Finch. In the decade through 2012-13, the industry was able to innovate by adopting new technology such as larger trucks. This increased the labour productivity of the industry and allowed the industry to cater to growing demand. In the five years through 2017-18, the industry will likely face productivity challenges. The industry is expected to remain the dominant mode for transporting non-bulk goods around the country. Industry revenue is forecast to grow in the coming five years. Despite this growth, the industry may struggle to maintain profitability as it faces growing skills shortages, reductions in fuel rebates and the potential of changed pricing to access the country’s road networks.

The Road Freight Transport industry displays a low level of market share concentration. The four top players are Toll, Linfox, K&S, and Scott Corporation. Market power in the industry is highly concentrated. The major companies, although contributing a relative small amount to industry revenue, have significant market power through the whole supply chain and in infrastructure ownership. Significantly, their market concentration tends to increase when industry revenue growth slows, as in 2009-10. This demonstrates that when volumes drop it is the small players who get squeezed out of the industry, with the larger players as a group outperforming. Major customers in the retail, manufacturing and petroleum markets also have strong market power. Operators such as Toll, or retailers such as Coles and Woolworths, determine the freight rates that they are willing to pay. These rates then get passed down the industry hierarchy. This has resulted in small and medium size enterprises struggling to introduce fuel surcharges.

Band Merch Retailer Planet 13 Unveils YouTube Channel Featuring Videos of Products, Eases Customer Enquiries

Melbourne, Victoria (PRWEB) November 28, 2012

Using only photos and descriptions to guide them, online shoppers face the uncertainty of knowing whether what they’re buying online is what they’ll actually receive in their mailbox. Planet 13 removes the fear by making their customer’s shopping experience easier with the launch of their YouTube Channel featuring videos of their products. “It’s hard to imagine all aspects of a product from just a photo and description,” says Shawn Scott, musician and owner of band merch store Planet 13, “so we’ve started uploading videos of each product to our YouTube Channel, and it’s helped answer questions for our customers in a single view.”

The ease of getting nearly anything delivered to your door with a simple click of a button has made online shopping commonplace. What’s also commonplace is the classic ‘text and photo’ descriptions of products, which aim to convince the potential customer to buy.

Planet 13, an online band shirt and merchandise store, receive countless emails asking for further details on items such as shoes and accessories. Items on the website have both photos and full descriptions, but “Since items like footwear have a lot of different elements to them,” says musician and owner of Planet 13, Shawn Scott, “trying to accurately convey everything about that item in writing isn’t easy, be it online or in an email.”

To help ease the flow of customer enquiries about his products, Shawn has delegated the task of creating product videos to his team, who have just launched the Planet 13 YouTube Channel. “Customers are loving the videos already,” continues Shawn, “because they don’t need to ask any questions, the videos show the item in action and up close.”

Planet 13 pride themselves on giving their patrons excellent customer service, Shawn further remarks, “these videos are just an extension of our great service. By launching product videos on YouTube, our customers can properly see the items they’re interested in without having to contact anybody for more information.”

Shawn goes on to say that he’s received positive customer feedback about the band merch videos as well as “a lot less email questions about the products, so that means customers are getting the information they need in one hit. And I’m not swamped with queries!”

A bit about Planet 13

Planet 13 was conceived and created in 2004 by Shawn Scott, front man of the once-popular Melbourne based glam/punk band Voodoo Lovecats. His online store Planet 13 features an extensive range of fully licensed entertainment items, band shirts and merchandise.

The Multimedia Marketing Show Releases Video with Tips on Improving Audio and Raw Video Footage Submission

Melbourne, Au (PRWEB) November 28, 2012

The founder of The Multimedia Marketing Show, Jake Hower, releases a short video on using the Zoom H1 device to improve sound quality in videos and on submitting raw video footage.

There are several ways a user can leverage the Zoom H1 to improve the sound quality of his or her videos.

You can hold it underneath a frame, as Im doing here. It provides much better audio, said Mr. Hower.

You can also mount it on top of the camera, and use it almost like a boom mike or a shotgun mike, he continued.

Users can also use the Zoom H1 as a USB microphone on their laptops. They can buy an accessory pack with a stand for the Zoom H1 to sit on.

You can mount it on a stand for your podcasts and interviews, said Mr. Hower.

Hower also gives some advice to clients on using the Zoom H1 for their video submissions to VideoEditz.

One thing Id suggest you do is keep the audio in your camera shooting at the same time if youre using one of these. That way when you provide the two files to us, we can easily match this audio against the camera audio and replace it. This little thing provides much better audio clarity, said Mr. Hower.

After the audio tips, Hower gives tips to clients on shooting their video to submit to VideoEditz.



He suggests that clients shoot their raw footage in one take and submit the entire thing as one file to VideoEditz.

It makes it easiest to edit. You dont need to be talking for the entire camera shot. You can just speak one point at a time. Then take a break to gain composure for your next speaking point. What well do when you give us the file is edit out those breaks in between, explained Mr. Hower.

Business owners interested in more tips on making their video footage easy-to-edit can head across to http://multimediamarketingshow.com/ where they can subscribe via email to receive all tips and a weekly podcast with expert guests.

Mortgage Brokers in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld

Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) November 29, 2012

Buying one’s own home has long been the Australian dream. It is often the biggest financial decision an individual will make in their lifetime, and for that reason, borrowers find comfort in consulting an expert who can help them wade through the complex range of products. The Mortgage Brokers industry in Australia is relatively new, having been around for less than two decades. Mortgage brokers have filled a gap in the market that has been missing in the past, and are seen as providing comprehensive, convenient and unbiased advice to their clients. Because they represent a panel of lenders, they are able to offer their customers a range of products and tailor a mortgage to their specific needs. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Tim Stephen, for these reasons, demand for services from the Mortgage Brokers industry has grown, but the industry was not immune to the economic downturn. Revenue growth over the five years through 2012-13 is estimated to measure a compound annual 0.1%, as the industry has suffered through reduced credit volumes and flat house prices.

For 2012-13, the Mortgage Brokers industry in Australia is estimated to be worth $ 1.57 billion on the back of healthy year-on-year growth of 4.4%, as demand continues to rebound and house prices show signs of growth. In the five years through 2017-18, the industry is expected to break free from the shackles of the global financial crisis, typified by tight credit and record levels of consumer savings. Participation will increase due to favourable conditions, and competition will intensify, led by the industry’s largest players. Supply of finance is expected to rise as credit loosens and more lenders enter the market, adds Stephen. This will contribute to growing demand for broking services as lenders continue to use brokers as a medium for distributing their products. IBISWorld forecasts that by 2017-18 the industry will be worth $ 1.9 billion.

Industry market share concentration is moderate; the three largest players are Australian Finance Group, AHL Holdings and Mortgage Choice. Broker groups are expected to undergo considerable consolidation in the coming years. Since the financial crisis, which was essentially caused by money being lent too freely, banks have tightened margins and commissions paid to mortgage brokers. This has put pressure on operators to find more-efficient ways to continue profitable operations. Lower commissions are likely to lead to an accelerated level of consolidation, via mergers and acquisitions and industry exits. While the total number of operators within the industry is expected to grow, the average size of each will also increase. Lower margins on residential mortgages mean that efficiency and scale will become more important, and smaller players will have a hard time staying competitive.

IBISWorld industry Report Key Topics

Mortgage brokers in Australia generally act on behalf of lenders, aiding borrowers in sourcing and applying for mortgage finance (for both residential and investment real estate purposes), and in refinancing existing mortgages. In general, brokers do not charge mortgagees any fee for their services. Rather, mortgage brokers receive origination and trailing commissions on originated funds directly from lenders.

TLC for Kids Has Been Named one of Australias Coolest Businesses in Anthill Magazines Seventh Annual Cool Company Awards

Melbourne, Victoria (PRWEB) November 29, 2012

The Cool Company Awards is a national program that was developed in 2006 to recognise Australian companies that are doing things differently to bring about positive change.

Over 700 aspiring cool companies were nominated for the 2012 awards, making The Cools one of Australias largest business awards programs.

The Cool Company Awards are extremely egalitarian, said James Tuckerman, Editor-In-Chief, Anthill Magazine. Previous winners have included two-person start-ups, not-for-profit social enterprises, large private companies and publicly-listed corporations.

Judging takes into account far more than mere business variables, such as revenue and wealth. The criteria are geared to consider other qualities, from the disruptive nature of the product or service to the culture of the organisation.

Applicants either nominated themselves or were nominated by peers, work colleagues, family, friends and other admirers. A field of hundreds was examined (and cross-examined) before our judges were able to isolate three Finalists for each of our seven categories.

What are Cool Company Awards?

The Cool Company Awards was launched in 2006 as a way for Anthill Magazine to publicly acknowledge and celebrate Australian organisations that are doing things differently to bring about positive change. In its seventh year, the awards attracted nominations from over 700 organisations, making it among the largest business award programs in Australia.

About TLC for kids

National non-profit, TLC for kids, is the only organisation in Australia able to provide free support for kids during painful procedures, and within the critical 48 hour period following an emotionally traumatic experience in hospital.

Their driving force is to reach those kids with less common illnesses and diseases such as accident & burns victims and kids who, by sheer misfortune, don’t meet the criteria of the existing services.

Reid Cycles Launch Summer Video for Ladies Vintage Bikes, Creates Sales Spike with Holiday Shoppers

David Hannay, Marketing Manager of Reid Cycles remarks, The videos message has clearly worked, because the sales for our ladies vintage bikes has spiked considerably. Obviously viewers realize what great Christmas gifts they make at only $ 235.

Growing popularity for vintage-looking products has created steep prices, thanks to fashion trends and reality TV shows about trash & treasure hunting. For shoppers looking for a great gift for the summer holidays, getting the popular retro look without the high price tag can be a bit of a struggle.

Reid Cycles realized their popular ladies vintage bike range is a great solution for those seeking summer-inspired gifts, so they decided to launch a new video starring the famous retro bikes.

With retro-sounding rock tunes and images of trendy couples engaging in all things summer, the YouTube video has far surpassed Davids expectations, nearly hitting 6,000 views in less than two weeks.

Were really pleased with how quickly this video has spread, David remarks, it shows people are sharing the knowledge that our vintage bicycles are stylish and well priced.

David sees this positive video response as the reason for their big sales spike leading into Christmas. The video tells the viewer, these bikes are fun, fashionable, and affordable, continues David, And starting at only $ 235, it makes sense our ladies vintage bikes have become the best gift for the summer season, and are selling so fast.

Skydive the Beach offers daring punters, adrenaline junkies and bucket list-fillers the chance to jump from up to 14,000 feet and freefall over some of the best beaches in Australia. Skydive the Beach has locations in Sydney, Byron Bay and Melbourne and in November, they became the latest partner of the Australian Visa Bureau’s Platinum Card programme, with Visa Bureau Platinum Card holders now able to take advantage of a AU$ 30 discount and a free t-shirt when they purchase a tandem skydive at any of the three locations.

As the winter nights close in and the temperature begins to plummet in the UK, daydreaming of an escape to parachuting over white sandy beaches is an understandable notion. With the UK set for more economic strife in coming weeks, there could be no better time to make that dream a reality with the Australian Visa Bureaus Working Holiday Visa package!

An Australian Working Holiday Visa allows the holder to live and work in Australia for 12 months, with the option of extending it a further 12 months if certain requirements are met. Unlike other Australian visa options, a Working Holiday Visa can be obtained quickly and easily online.

Seed Production in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) November 30, 2012

The worst years for the Seed Production industry coincide with the worst of Australian droughts during 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10. As agricultural production suffered from punishing weather conditions, demand for seeds fell substantially as farmers avoided purchasing seeds with no end to the drought in sight. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Ee Jen Lee, while this was succeeded with higher than average rainfall the following year, two consecutive years of weak demand have resulted in an 5.4% annualised contraction of industry revenue. In 2012-13, Seed Production industry revenue is projected to grow a moderate 1.8% to reach $ 292.8 million. This growth will be on the back of higher seed prices and stronger demand for seeds related to high agricultural commodity prices.

Other factors influencing demand for seeds are policy developments. Lee adds, while there is no indication from regulators or governments that genetically modified canola moratoriums may be lifted in the states of South Australia and Tasmania, these will be due for review during the next five years. Further, water use policies, especially those concerning the Murray-Darling Basin may change farmers’ decisions on the variety of seed used.

The Seed Production industry has a medium level of concentration, and major companies include Pacific Seeds Pty Limited, PGG Wrightson Limited, Bayer CropScience Pty Ltd and Heritage Seeds Pty Ltd. Increasing investment and greater involvement from the world’s largest seed companies in Australia’s local Seed Production industry will boost seed research and production capabilities. Further, the development of Asian agriculture and increased reliance on Australia’s research capabilities are expected to have a positive effect on export volumes. As the average annual rainfall is expected to decline from its current peak over the next five years through 2017-18, Seed Production industry revenue is forecast to grow at a moderate rate, but may exceed forecasts if operators can successfully tap into growing export markets.
