MyWares.com (www.mywares.com) is a new site where hundreds of entrepreneurs, crafters, and artisans promote their "Wares" to independent retailers/wholesale buyers. The site lists everything from jewelry to apparel to green goods in 33 different categories.


Many of the entrepreneurs on MyWares.com want to take the leap into wholesale but find the system and process costly and confusing. Many recent members are Etsy crafters who are taking their small hand-made businesses to the next level.


So, MyWares.com has created a system for promoting a product to wholesale buyers that is easy, cost-effective and offers tools for those who are ready to jump with both feet into the Wholesale world.


"Green Technology" services are also available:  MyWares will create the
electronic press kits and product catalogs for all subscribers. Thereby
saving paper, time and enormous amounts of money.

 

The company was founded by two entrepreneurs who spent years displaying and buying at tradeshows across the

The summer months are the heart of the “Demand Response” season in the United States, when the electric utility grid reaches a crisis point and raises the threat of rolling blackouts and power outages.  But can chain retailers play a key role in reducing demand on the overloaded utility grid?

 

The answer is “yes” – and they can get paid for it, too.  With advanced systems from Site Controls, the leading provider of enterprise energy management, facilities intelligence and grid efficiency solutions, retailers can participate in utility-sponsored Demand Response programs, which offer generous financial incentives for companies that agree to reduce their electrical consumption during times of peak demand.  Site Controls also allows retailers to:

 

  • Save money – by implementing Site Controls’ Site-Command™ building automation solution systems that reduce electrical consumption 365 days a year
  • Improve the environment – by lowering energy consumption, which dramatically reduc

Web 3.0 is lean, clean and green: Use public transportation on the information super highway

Tim Sanders has discovered a new movement afoot in the web world: socially responsibility web programming.  Initially, he noticed an underground conversation about low power , purpose-driving programming that reduces the energy use by its users.  If Google had a different color scheme (less white, more gray or muted color), there is evidence it could save a massive amount of energy.  Most programmers, though, don't realize that they have the power to create the web equivalent of the Prius.  According to Sanders, social responsibility and sustainability are about to jump out of heavy manufacturing and consumer goods – and squarely into the computer programming and web world, changing the basis for competition for capital, eye balls and top talent.

Tim Sanders is a combination of Warren Buffet and Paul Hawken and is an irrepressible advocate for good values in the business world. His fir

FetchBack's technology enables businesses to deliver messages to prospects after they leave a web site.  For example: someone who visited an online clothing store and left might see an ad for the retailer on Facebook, mySpace or the New York Times later that day. It's a process known as “retargeting” and FetchBack is the first company built from the ground up to address this unique form of advertising.

Using patent-pending technology, FetchBack allows web site businesses to recoup the investment made in attracting new prospects, by continuing the marketing relationship with them on other sites, at other times.

Because attracting new prospects often requires a large investment, FetchBack emphasizes its cost-effectiveness for continuing the relationship with prospects who responded to an initial pitch. The lost prospects who don’t become customers are a valuable target audience for follow-up messages – if marketers know how to reach them effectively.

Pulse LLC and Circuit City Stores, Inc. have launched a unified community and social network unlike any of its kind for connecting manufacturers and store associates in the retail industry. 

 

The partnership, entitled CityPulse, gives manufacturers unprecedented access to communicate their current and future products directly with the sales force in a collaborative learning environment. Circuit City associates will have the ability to interact with those manufacturers’ programming and create and post their own content in a ‘You Tube’-style environment where the best of the best is seen by the entire organization.

 

The system represents a significant change in the standard model of retail communication.  The typical engagement model for retail employees is characterized by a large number of disparate manufacturer websites individually vying for retail employee traffic on their individual web sites.  Using CityPulse, Circuit City associates will be directed to one community f
