AJ Discala CEO of The Broadsmoore Group Organizes To Be Giving Foundation to Support Charity

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 18, 2011

The Broadsmoore Group, a family office providing investment advisory and merchant banking services, today announces its plan to launch To Be Giving Foundation, a charitable arm of Broadsmoore committed to supporting humanitarian initiatives and non-profit organizations aligned with the firm’s core values. To Be Giving’s multi-tiered approach to donation focuses on capacity building through creating jobs, education and training, and investing in each of the communities where Broadsmoore has offices.

“Since its inception in 2009, The Broadsmoore Group has maintained a commitment to charitable organizations and initiatives,” says co-founder and managing partner AJ Discala. “We constantly force ourselves to idajentify additional stakeholders, other than ourselves, who are positioned to benefit from a shared vision of a safer, stronger country, where value is measured beyond profit. To Be Giving enables Broadsmoore to institutionalize the generosity that is so central to our mode of operation, and allows us to contribute to charities with as much caution and drive as we invest for profit.”

The Broadsmoore Group has committed to contribute 10 percent of its annual profits towards To Be Giving, which will fund up to three select non-profit organizations and charitable initiatives each year. Serving as a positive influence in the communities where Broadsmoore operates, To Be Giving will provide a springboard to opportunity, achievement and development. The Foundation also welcomes additional donations, which enable individuals and organizations to support meaningful causes with confidence; one hundred percent of outside donations will be directed to the selected charities.

“The To Be Giving Foundation is integral to our legacy,” says Discala, “providing underserved communities and organizations with the critical tools required for success in our fast-paced world.”

Get more from your display budget with pop-up stands!

Rather than slashing your exhibition budget, why not make your exhibition budget go further by investing in a pop-up stand display!

 

Pop up stands have become a popular industry favourite and are a great way to create a professional backdrop for exhibition displays. Pop-up displays are a great way for smaller companies to exhibit at shows and for larger companies to showcase individual products or services and promote your brand or message.

 

It’s the flexibility of the pop-up display stands that make it so useful to a wide range of businesses and organisations, including schools, charities, libraries and leisure centres.  From full blown exhibition spaces to pop-up display banners for your reception area, pop-up display stands give you the versatility and flexibility you need.

 

Why choose a Pop Up Stand?

 

Pop Up stand are extremely good value for money.  Pop-up display stands have a number of features which make them one of the best forms of exhibition equipment you can invest in. You can really make your budget go further when you purchase a quality pop stand with quality graphics that can be used time and time again.

 

If used properly with well designed graphics, they can form the backdrop to a launch or presentation as well as being the focus for an exhibition stand or trade fair. Invest in more than one pop-up display stand and you can link both the stands and the graphics for a bigger impact, or use them separately to distinguish one message or product from another.

 

What are the benefits of choosing a flexible pop-up display stand?

 

Save you time! – Exhibitions can be extremely tiring and when you are exhibiting you want to be last in to set up and first out at the end of the day.  One of the biggest difficulties with many exhibition stands is the length of time and the number of people it takes to put them up. Pop-up display stands can be erected by one person, because of their expandable system.  Graphics panels are held in place by magnetic strips and fasteners, all of which can be assembled by a single person.

 

Save you money! – Pop Up stands are versatile and flexible.  The relatively low cost means of pop up stands over other exhibition equipment means you can still get on with effective high impact marketing without breaking the bank. If you buy a quality pop up stand that is built to last, these stands will certainly give you value for money as they can be used again and again.

 

 

Save your back! – Pop-up displays are lightweight and fold down into portable carriers. This makes them far easier to transport and store than traditional exhibition systems.  The strong yet lightweight frame can easily be transported to and from your trade show.

 

Graphics for pop-up display stands are another way that you can make your exhibition budget go further.  Pop Up stands usually come in one of several standard sizes, so we can reprint graphic panels for the same pop-up system. This allows you either to update particular panels for a new show or product launch, or to have completely interchangeable graphics which you can use depending on when and where you’re using the popup display.

 

POD Exhibition Systems specialises in exhibition stands and equipment that’s designed to make your exhibition or trade show a success. From pop-up display stands to modular exhibition stands, whether you’re exhibiting for the first time or looking to get more from your exhibition budget, POD can find the right solution.

03 Phone numbers aiding mobile phone callers get the most out of there phonecalls

UK communications regulator, Ofcom has recently published its sixth annual Communications Market Report which analyses and reports trends in the television, radio and telecoms industries.

One of the most fascinating findings from the report is the fact that in 2008, 44.5% of all UK calls were from mobile phones. This has increased by nearly 4% since 2007 and Ofcom has stated that if this trend continues the amount of mobile calls will overtake landline calls in 2010.

These statistics prove the importance (and reliance) of people on their mobile phones.

One of the main reasons that mobiles are so popular is the fact that tariffs often come with free or inclusive minutes. So, rather than pay for the call on a landline, people are using their mobile to use up their free allowances. These free minutes can be used to call all regular landline numbers (e.g. 01 and 02) and also the new 03 numbers.

03 numbers are non-geographic numbers (like 0845 numbers, 0800 numbers etc.) that enable organisations to smarten up the way they deal with their calls. 03 numbers work in tandem with any landline/mobile which means that no extra or additional equipment is needed for them to operate. The call management features that work with 03 numbers can be controlled completely online. Popular call features include giving caller options (e.g. “press 1 for sales, 2 for general enquiries” etc.) and professional introduction messages (“Welcome to organisation ABC etc.)

Many organisations, including SMEs, large corporations, public bodies and charities are now using an 03 number because of the sophisticated call management it offers them and the fact that they are giving their mobile and landline callers a great deal. In fact, once callers have exhausted their monthly free minutes they’ll only pay the same to call a normal landline number. These transparent call costs mean that people are actually encouraged to phone organisations with 03 numbers.

The BBC, Met Police, Comic Relief, Absolute Radio and Pioneer are amongst the thousands of organisations now using 03 phone numbers
