New Talk in Town: DC Web Designers at Blue Water Media help Neighborhood Tavern, Town Hall, Maximize Web Presence

Washington, DC (PRWEB) October 24, 2010

Georgetown hot spot, Town Hall Restaurant, recently partnered with Washington DC web design firm, Blue Water Media, to launch a sophisticated new website, http://www.townhalldc.com. With its warm color scheme, crisp high-resolution images, user friendly functionality, and overall polished feel, the new site accurately captures Town Hall’s intoxicating blend of a relaxing neighborhood tavern atmosphere, with the vibe of an upscale bar, lounge, and restaurant in one pleasing user experience.

The sophisticated color palette and engaging placement of text and visual imagery throughout the site convey Town Hall’s emphasis on quality. The well-organized menu section detailing dinner, wine, and cocktail options provides guests with easy access to information and the implementation of the Open Table reservation system enables diners to easily reserve a table without leaving the site. The use of small light icons on the web pages reflects Town Hall’s warm ambience—ideal for grabbing a post-work drink with friends, enjoying a late brunch, celebrating a special occasion, or simply indulging in a delicious meal any day of the week.

Several additional site features further engage visitors. Website sections detailing weekly specials and events and links to Town Hall’s social media portals entice users to keep abreast of restaurant happenings. The Event Contact feature enables users to easily reserve the second floor space of the tavern for private events. Finally, the installation of the award-winning Joomla content management system ensures the Town Hall staff can independently update the site with pictures and event information, ensuring that the site is perceived as an up to date information resource. Blue Water Media’s enhancements will strengthen Town Hall’s image as one of the most happening yet unpretentious nightlife establishments in the DC area.

About Town Hall:

Located in the Washington DC’s historic Georgetown area, Town Hall is owned and operated by 5 friends with a wide range of experience in the DC bar and restaurant industry. In 2005, they pooled their collective talent and resources to open their idea of what a true neighborhood tavern should be – great food, personable service, a vibrant bar scene, and zero pretense.

Wedding Budget, Guest Enjoyment Top Concerns for Wedding Planning Brides

My Wedding Workbook Wedding Planning System

Denver, CO (Vocus) October 23, 2010

Staying on budget and keeping guests happy are the two biggest concerns of brides who are planning a wedding in 2010, according to research conducted by My Wedding Workbook, the next-generation online wedding planning system.

Almost 70% of all brides surveyed responded that they were concerned about staying within their wedding budget, while another 47% said that making sure their guests were enjoying themselves was also a big concern.

“It’s very common for weddings to go over budget, which is probably why so many brides worry about it,” says Jeff Kear, owner of My Wedding Workbook. “There’s so much pressure on couples to create the perfect day and please their guests that it’s fairly common for the couple to start splurging and overspending on things that they probably don’t need.”

One way that brides can more easily stay within their budget is to break down their wedding budget into categories and subcategories (such as reception food, reception venue, reception decor, etc.) and then take their budget printout with them when they are shopping or speaking with vendors. This way they have all their information on hand and know exactly what they have to spend on each item.

And, when temptation gets the best of them and they decide to go over budget on a particular item, they should review their budget and make cuts elsewhere to ensure they don’t spend beyond their overall budget number. It might be a bit painful, but it’s better than going into debt or maxing out a credit card.

As for pleasing guests, most guests tend to be happy when they see the bride and groom happy. “This day is about the couple, not the guests,” says Kear. “Plus most guests are expecting a wedding that reflects the personalities of the bride and groom and the love they have for each other, so if their wedding day makes them happy, it will likely make their guests happy, too. A big smile on the wedded couple’s faces is about all guests need to have a great time.”

Other top concerns for brides are managing all the details involved in the wedding planning process (44%) and getting the ceremony and reception decor just right (35%).

“Wedding planning can be pretty intimidating for many brides, mostly because none of them have planned an event of this scale before,” says Kear. “Having the right information, tools and advisors can go a long ways in ensuring all the details are covered and providing peace of mind. It just takes a little investigating to find the guidance and resources they need to plan their big day.”

About My Wedding Workbook

My Wedding Workbook offers a complete Web-based system that provides brides with a step-by-step process for planning every aspect of their wedding, from the wedding budget to guest lists, RSVPs, vendors, venues, calendars and more. Included in this comprehensive wedding planning system are a personal wedding website builder, ideas and inspiration board, worksheets, wedding checklists, suggested tasks and more.

The Marketplace to Recycle GROUPON Related Coupons, Called Re-COUPON has Released for the US Market from Japan

Pacific Palisades, CA (PRWEB) October 22, 2010

The marketplace to recycle GROUPON related coupons, called Re-COUPON has released for the US market from Japan.

ALOBE Ltd. (Head Office: Osaka, Japan, CEO: SangYun Shin) launched the marketplace website called Re-COUPON, http://www.re-coupon.net. This site allows users to sell and buy coupons that they bought at daily deal sites like GROUPON, living Social or other similar services.

Background

GROUPON related coupons are discounted coupons that are at least 50% discounted, but usually more that users can purchase. And once the quota has been met the user receives the coupon.

This service was started by GROUPON which is based in Chicago, and this coupon market is growing rapidly all over the world.

Their marketing strategy utilizes the expanding trend of flash marketing.

As each coupon is only offered for a limited amount of time, buyers are more likely to purchase these coupons. The service is gaining popularity by word of mouth through social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook etc.

Users are able to receive the discounts because of bulk buying principles, however because of the limited amount of time in which the coupon is offered, often time users find themselves having made a rushed purchase and having a coupon that they do not need and/or will not redeem before the coupon expires.

Therefore, ALOBE Ltd. launched Re-COUPON to support users who would like to sell coupons because of lack of opportunities for use, or cater to users who would like to buy coupons that are no longer listed as a result of being passed their listing time.

Features

Re- COUPON can bring in wide range of merits for all stakeholders who related to the coupon markets.

After the primary market expands rapidly, usually a secondary market is demanded. Re-COUPON is aimed to be one of the marketplaces which can satisfy users’ expectations.

Merits for Users

    Users can maximize the effectiveness of discounted coupons.
    Users can sell the coupons when they have no opportunity to use them.
    Users can have opportunities to get coupons that they couldn’t buy from the primary market due to timing or other constraints.

Merits for businesses

    Businesses can advertise their services to many other individuals aside from just the original recipient of the coupon.
    Through Re-COUPON listed businesses will become known to users who may potentially utilize their services in the future.

Merits for publishers

    Consumers can buy the coupons worry-free since there is a secondary marketplace in which they can re-list and re-sell their coupons through Re-COUPON.
    Consumers will be more confident to buy coupons because of the secondary marketplace which in turn will drive repeat buyers.
    Users other than the original recipients of coupons will come to know the existence of publishers issuing coupons.

The way of selling

Re-COUPON uses an auction style for selling coupons.

Sellers can decide the price for auctions or if they want to finish deals immediately they can set the BUY OUT price.

Re-COUPON decided to use an auction style for the marketplace, because unlike a traditional fixed priced first come first serve style merchant, Re-COUPON allows all users to have a chance to bid for coupons that they like.

However, if sellers want to complete the deals without making the highest bid, they can use BUY OUT price option and therefore eliminating the need for bidding.

(This BUY OUT option can be the same style as a traditional fixed priced.)

Re-COUPON is currently in BETA testing hence users can use Re-COUPON for free without any additional costs.

ALOBE Ltd is a company located in Japan, ALOBE launched [Re-COUPON] for the Japanese market as the first company of its kind for this service.

At this time, for its second market, ALOBE has launched [Re-COUPON] for the US market.
