PPC company, CluedUp PPC, has launched new ppc training courses. Focused on Google AdWords, the company will provide these courses on the client’s premises. It will also customize the training to the needs of the particular business. And pitch it at the level each business requires. This will range from basic AdWords skills through intermediate and advanced ppc marketing.

Each course will be delivered by an AdWords qualified expert and qualified teacher. And if, for any reason, the client is dissatisfied, CluedUp offers a 100% money-back guarantee.

The purpose of the course is to provide businesses with the skills to run their own successful AdWords campaigns. It’s designed in particular for businesses that don’t want to purchase external management.

Although CluedUp’s website provides a course outline, the company emphasizes the customized nature of the AdWords training.

Tom Wilson, MD of CluedUp PPC explained: “The training will be adapted specifically to the client’s type of business. What the client’s advertising goals are. What sorts of campaigns and ad groups they need. The networks that are relevant to them, and so on.

“It will focus on how to promote their particular products and services. How, through ppc advertising, they can reach, engage with, and convert their target markets.

“They will learn how to develop the PPC strategy that’s just right for them. Create the most effective mix of campaigns and ad groups. Conduct keyword research, write powerful and relevant ads, and create landing pages that convert. They will also be able to go on optimizing their campaigns to reduce costs and increase ROI.

“By the end of the course, the world of pay per click marketing will seem simple. And it will be completely in the client’s own hands.”

From the detailed syllabus, it’s clear that the courses have been designed professionally, and for a wide range of training needs. They are intensive and comprehensive, covering everything necessary from account setup to ongoing optimisation. Duration will be up to two days.

Tom Wilson argues that running the courses in-house will also save businesses both time and money. “The date and time of the course can be of their choosing. Their people don’t have to travel to an external venue. And we can train a number of people at the same time. This will also result in minimal disruption to their operations.”

Cluedup is a UK PPC company. It will deliver its in-house courses to any business located in the British mainland.

The price of the course varies and interested parties are invited to contact the company for a personal quotation.

For commercial van owners, advertising plays a big part in day to day life, without promoting their trade then their business would exist. Your van is in theory a mobile advertising hoarding so making your commercial vehicle stand out from the rest is a must.

Van signs and livery are an active way of advertising, not only will they make your van instantly recognisable; it is often cheaper and in many ways a more effective marketing tool. People looking for a particular profession are more likely to trust a business whose eye catching van they have seen driving around their area rather than a trawling through the business directories coming across nondescript lists.

The trick companies are using to maximise visibility is to keep it simple whilst making an impact. They do not put too much information on their vans or people will miss the key parts as you drive past them.

The study showed that a number of key buzz words are being used to attract people’s attention and the most important of all is to make sure the contact information is highly visible. There is no point in branding your van if people do not know how to contacting you!

Sign writers often tend to offer two options when you are thinking about brightening up your commercial van to attract maximum attention.

The first is direct application of your chosen design onto the vehicle which is great if you own your van outright and know that you are planning on keeping it for a while.

The second option which is being applied is a little more cunning, magnetic signs which can be moved around the vehicle and from vehicle to vehicle mean the van owner can tailor the look of the van day to day, this technique of giving the van a regular fresh look can keep the public’s attention as it no longer stays as a ‘familiar sight’. The public often block out regular sightings of objects and only focus on the new objects in their daily routines.

Another reason companies are livery on their commercial vehicles is that they stand to receive a reduction on van insurance premiums. Many cheap van insurance companies will offer a discount if your van has livery as it is believed that these vehicles are safer on the road as the drivers are more likely to drive sensibly, resulting in fewer accidents.

Based on the industry leading System z data sharing architecture, DB2 pureScale integrates IBM technologies to keep critical systems available 24/7. DB2 pureScale allows organisations to have multiple database servers in a system that all share a common set of disks providing both scalability, availability and application transparency.

Triton Consulting recently sent a team of DB2 experts to the IBM labs in Boeblingen Germany on a research and development project into DB2 pureScale. After seeing DB2 pureScale in action, DB2 LUW expert Clair Ross said “If you’re a retailer with a high volume online transaction environment then pureScale is going to be absolutely ideal for you. You’ll be able to increase capacity when you need to at the really busy times like Christmas and the January sales and scale back at the times when you’re experiencing less demand. Plus, we’ve not mentioned here the need for continuous availability, pretty much every organisation would like continuous availability but for online retailers it’s essential.”

Continuous Availability

DB2 pureScale keeps critical systems available all the time, giving uninterrupted access to data throughout both planned and unplanned outages. Fast recovery and data availability is assured, even with large clusters, by utilising the centralised locking capability of PowerHA pureScale.

In situations where one or more servers fail, whether due to hardware or software problems; the workload balancer automatically recognises which servers are available and sends transactions across to these servers without application interruption. Whilst this is happening, DB2 pureScale is doing a fast crash recovery on the failing node. By using automatic workload balancing to ensure that no node in the system is over loaded, DB2 will route transactions or connections to the least heavily used server.

Zero Downtime for Planned Outages

DB2 pureScale allows routine hardware maintenance, operating system changes or other configuration changes to be carried out by simply removing the relevant server from the cluster. The workload balancer redistributes transactions to the other servers in the cluster. This is done with complete transparency to the application and no interruption to the environment meaning that planned outages can be carried out whenever necessary rather than waiting for that late-night on Sunday window. This is vital for global organisations with users accessing their systems 24/7.

Capacity on Demand

Being able to quickly respond to rises in workload has become a competitive advantage. IT teams need the ability to respond quickly to change requests and provide extra capacity at peak times.

DB2 pureScale is designed to allow organisations to grow and shrink their server cluster on demand. This can be done without application changes and with no interruption to the business. Organisations that experience large peaks and troughs in their workload can add more capacity during that period and remove it when workloads reduce.

Cost Savings

Instead of over-provisioning environments to handle peak times, organisations can license the machines they want for the time they need. Customers can choose to pay for the additional cores only on the days that they use them. This means that a server can be added for a few days during those peak times and released when it is no longer needed, without additional cost. .

Application Transparency

DB2 pureScale is transparent to the application and can be implemented with no changes to the underlying application code. Additional servers can be added without the need for application developers to re-design their applications.

About Triton

Triton Consulting are IBM Premier Business Partners and have expert knowledge of DB2 both in mainframe and midrange environments. Having expertise in both areas means that our consultants can bring their years of mainframe data sharing experience together with their knowledge of DB2 for midrange and so are ideally placed to provide support on DB2 pureScale implementations.

YESpay International Ltd, a global payments services company, has completed the EMV certification of its EMBOSS card payment service with Chase Paymentech™ as the first fully hosted EMV Chip and PIN payment service in Canada with Chase Paymentech.

The formal certification conducted by Chase Paymentech included end-to-end EMV Chip and PIN testing with Interac, MasterCard and Visa using the Verifone Vx810 pinpad. This enables YESpay to provide its secure credit and debit card payment acceptance services for retail, MOTO (mail order telephone order) and e-commerce to main street and web merchants in Canada.

EMBOSS already has a proven track record as a generically certified IP-based payment processing service used by major retailers in Europe for the past 5 years and has been fully end-to-end certified to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) Level 1 as mandated by the payment brands since 2006.

Through EMBOSS, merchants can fast track the implementation of integrated EMV card payments acceptance solutions for their electronic cash register, kiosks and hospitality payment systems. It can also enhance their websites for on-line payments with minimal capital investment and low on-going services costs.

Fully scalable, EMBOSS can address the needs the single location merchant as well as larger chains.

Rohit Patni, EVP Sales and Marketing, YESpay, said, “Our generic certification of EMBOSS is a major breakthrough in Canada. Businesses of all sizes who have been facing in-house system certification issues, including the task of complying with PCI DSS regulations, can outsource their payment processing needs to YESpay who takes on the responsibility, relinquishing a significant proportion of costs and timescale of PCI compliance and bank certification.”

Bill Farris, Vice-President, Product Management, Chase Paymentech, said, “We are very happy with YESpay’s certification, because of its proven expertise in the payment sector and their track record in providing managed card payment services which they have been doing for over five years in Europe. We are confident that the company’s knowledge of payments and the provision of outsourced managed services will help support Canadian merchants through their migration to EMV Chip & PIN and the implementation of PCI compliant solutions.”

YESpay’s EMBOSS managed credit / debit card payment service provides an innovative and low cost solution that helps merchants integrate online card payments with their existing retail infrastructures while providing a simplified migration path to EMV compliance for credit and debit in Canada.

This week sees the launch of Mum.com, a new low cost baby website. The concept behind Mum.com is simple, sell a small range of branded baby products cheaper than anybody else, deliver excellent customer service, and provide better value for money for the 3.6m UK mums who shop online each month.

Brands include Philips, Fisher-Price, Cosatto, Tommee Tippee, and Tomy. Prices are checked regularly against leading online retailers, price comparison websites, the Amazon Marketplace and eBay resellers. For example, a Cosatto Swift Lite Supa Chip off the Old Block pushchair is £99.99 at Mum.com compared to £130 at Boots.com and £121.50 at Kiddicare.com.

The founder of Mum.com, Andrew Campbell, came up with the idea for a low cost baby website after the birth of his first child, “Buying bulky items like pushchairs, cots, and nursery furniture is expensive, so we shopped around for the best deals. We didn’t have a strong preference for particular brands but we did want good quality at the cheapest possible price”.

About The Word Mum

The origins of the word mum can be traced back to the sixteenth century and derive from the humming sound made with a closed mouth. Shakespeare uses the word mum in Henry VI, “Seal up your lips and give no words but mum”.

Mum is short for mummy or mother and is most commonly used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of the US and Canada. The word Mother is believed to derive from the first syllable spoken by babies; “Ma”, combined with the kinship suffix “ter”, also found in brother, father, and sister. The original Latin Mater evolved into the English word Mother.

Mum is one of only a couple of words in the English language that is both palindromic and onomatopoeic. A palindrome is a word that reads the same forward and backward. Examples include madam, civic and radar. An onomatopoeic word sounds like the object or action it describes, for example, woof, bang, and click.

Can you think of another word that is both a palindrome and onomatopoeic? Mum.com is giving away a £100 gift certificate to the first correct answer pulled out of the hat on 7 September 2010. Only one entry is permitted per household. Entries must be sent via the Mum.com competition page. The competition closes on 31 August 2010.

Only about 23% of Europeans own a credit card, and those that do are reluctant to use them online. This means that without a direct debit solution, over 75% of the European market is inaccessible to your business. With Netpays new Direct Debit Solution, you will be able to significantly increase your revenue from Europe. Direct Debit is the most popular European payment solution, because of its ease of use for customers. Money is withdrawn directly from ones bank account, and there is no expiration date.

“We are looking to apply over 10 years of experience in innovative payment solutions to help our customers increase their profits for the markets they serve”, asserts Elena Bouhaniche, Netpay International’s Marketing Manager.

Until now, Netpay almost exclusively worked with credit cards. The new solution is essentially a bank wire with an instant “approve or decline” reply, as opposed to regular bank wires which take 24 to 48 hours.

“In an increasingly complex business landscape, Netpay is constantly trying to expand innovative payment solutions with a major strive to become a “One Stop Shop” that delivers a broad range of payment options to merchants and reliably manages their payments, decrease costs, and maximizes their competitive edge,” remarks Alon Elbaz, Netpay International’s CEO.

There are two main kinds of solutions called Push and Pull. With the Pull solution, merchants work with Netpay to reach into customer’s bank account and pull the money from their account. Using this solution customers can still chargeback. With the Push solution, customers are redirected to their own bank accounts, log in and wire the money to Netpay. The customer is pushing the funds from their bank account, making it almost impossible for a chargeback to occur.

Regardless of whether you use Push or Pull, Netpay’s new Direct Debit Solution has enormous potential to transform your European business.

Toronto, Canada (PRWeb UK) June 2, 2010

YESpay International Ltd, a global card payments services company, has completed the EMV chip and PIN end-to-end certification of its EMBOSS card payment service with Chase Paymentech and First Data, two major card acquirers in the USA and Canada. YESpay is now working with merchants in the USA and Canada who need to upgrade their retail POS systems to EMV chip-and-PIN card payment standards: Merchants can thus process EMV Chip & PIN cards that are being globally issued including in Canada and Mexico within USA thus stopping cross-border card fraud to migrate from Canada and Mexico to USA.

Dr Chandra Patni, CEO of YESpay International said, “We are not the only company thinking along the lines of offering EMV card acceptance in the U.S.: According to an industry article published recently (Wal-Mart to support smartcard payments, Computerworld, 21 May 2010), the retail giant Wal-Mart is reportedly planning to make all its payment terminals in its U.S. stores chip-and-PIN-capable. Such a move would definitely trigger other U.S. merchants to move to chip-and-PIN transaction processing.”

It has also been recently reported that the United Nations Federal Credit Union has plans to start issuing EMV compliant credit cards to its customers very soon, hence ensuring the commencement of EMV card issuance in USA to assist with rapid adoption.

Europe and other regions including Canada and Mexico are successfully migrating to the EMV chip-and-PIN card technology but the U.S. has not yet decided, largely because of the cost concerns. However, all the latest developments lead to the fact that the U.S. industry is moving in this direction.

It is true that the imminent EMV chip-and-PIN card rollout in the USA will certainly reveal a challenge for merchants that will have to upgrade their integrated EPOS point of sale systems to accept payments with EMV chip-and-PIN cards which YESpay can provide help in.

The YESpay EMBOSS managed credit / debit card payment service overcomes the cost and timescale challenges and provides an innovative and low cost solution that helps merchants integrate online card payments with their existing retail infrastructures while providing a simplified migration path to EMV compliance for credit and debit card acceptance.

YESpay already has a track record of providing its highly secure and scalable EMV Chip & PIN, contactless and magnetic credit / debit card, e-commerce and gift card payment processing services to independent and multi-chain merchants in Europe and Canada. In addition, with the requirements for enhanced cardholder’s data security, EMBOSS has been fully end-to-end certified to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) Level 1 as mandated by the payment brands since 2006.

Through EMBOSS, merchants can fast track the implementation of integrated EMV card payments acceptance solutions for in-store and unattended payment systems, as well as enhance their websites for on-line payments with minimal capital investment and low on-going services costs. It reduces business and technical issues of outsourcing payment services and helps merchants avoid lengthy timescales and high costs of EMV certification and PCI compliance of their retail environments. Fully scalable, EMBOSS can address the needs the single location merchant as well as larger chains.

Rohit Patni, EVP Sales & Marketing in YESpay International said, “This is a very exciting period for the industry, and indeed a tremendous opportunity for YESpay to serve its North American customers with the same impeccable service we have been offering to our European customers for the last five years. YESpay has the solution to EMV migration and is absolutely ready to face the challenge. ’’
