MoreVisibility Selected as One of the Initial Google Tag Manager Partners


Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) October 18, 2012

MoreVisibility, a six-time Inc. 500/5000 recipient and Google Analytics and Google AdWords Certified Partner has been certified as one of the initial Google Tag Manager Partners, also referred to as a specialist. Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a free Tag Management solution that empowers the marketer to quickly add tags and tracking codes to web pages without relying on IT resources!

MoreVisibility has been working with Google leading up to the release of Tag Manager and is one of the 20 companies in the United States that Google has named a Tag Manager Specialist. Google Tag Manager is designed to be user friendly, but if help is needed Google Certified Partners can provide assistance. GTM specialists are carefully vetted by Google and meet rigorous qualification standards. Being able to easily deploy tracking pixels and tags for new initiatives through the GTM interface will give marketers greater flexibility and control over their websites. MoreVisibilitys Google Analytics team is well versed in using Google Tag Manager for different websites, especially defining the data layer, which is a complex step for collecting more advanced information via this platform.

For more knowledgeable decisions and better campaign execution it is important to collect dependable data from your website and all other domains. GTM rules allow specific tags to work at specific times. For example, if a business only wants to retarget visitors to their online store that placed more than $ 500 of merchandise in their shopping cart. They can simply set a rule that defines this interaction and then only these high value visitors will be placed in their remarketing audience. Additionally, companies that use Google Analytics will have the ability to create custom rules and macros that collect exactly the right information at the right time. Another great feature about the Google Tag Manager is that it supports Google as well as non-Google measurement and marketing tags.

As a Google Analytics Certified Partner in addition to GTM specialist, MoreVisibility helps marketers make informed decisions through comprehensive and concise data. “Since early last week, MoreVisibility has been in conversations with businesses, large and small, to start implementing Tag Manager. Without a tag management platform, marketers must rely on IT to edit each web page that needs tracking code, which can sometimes be a timely and challenging process. With Googles free tool, it is an easy decision to make for your business” said MoreVisibility’s EVP Danielle Leitch.

About MoreVisibility

Founded in 1999, MoreVisibility is one of the world’s leading Search Engine Marketing, Optimization and Design firms, having helped hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies and small businesses social media increase qualified traffic to their Web sites. In 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, MoreVisibility was named to the Inc 500/Inc 5000 list of the nation’s fastest growing privately owned firms.

Rainmaker Deploys LRO at Timberland Partners


Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 06, 2011

The Rainmaker Group today announced deployment of its Rainmaker LRO multifamily revenue management system across 30 Timberland Partners properties comprised of 5,350 units, all in one day. Rainmaker is the leading provider of automated revenue management software and services to the multifamily housing industry. Click here for more information on Rainmakers revenue and profit optimization products.

LRO raises rents 5% at some communities

LRO has been live with Timberland since late May. So far weve seen leases at some of our communities have rents that are 5% higher than comparable units leased prior to LRO, said Jesse Zettel, Timberland Partners Special Projects Coordinator and Revenue Manager. One of the nice things about the Rainmaker program is that rents are increased at our communities that are in a position of strength, but rents are not pushed upward at communities where we have higher exposure. LRO works with us intelligently that way.

LRO positions Timberland Partners to profit from the strong multifamily market

We wanted to take full advantage of LRO in our peak leasing season, says Mark E. Moore, Timberland Partners Executive Vice President of Operations, explaining the one-day rollout. Timberland Partners took time over the past three years to strengthen its property management operations while the multifamily housing industry weathered the economic downturn, explained Moore. We analyzed systems and processes, focused on best practices, and developed a forward-looking Company vision to be the best in all that we do. Deploying the best pricing solution for our company was part of that process. With the multifamily market entering a growth cycle, it is the perfect time to have a revenue management program in place.

LRO is the leading multifamily lease rate optimization solution used to maximize revenue from apartment leases. Rainmakers system produces optimized pricing recommendations for a large variety of unit types based on hundreds of factors that influence rate setting, including traffic, lease duration, move-in dates, competitive influences, and other metrics. The system also produces enterprise-wide demand forecasts by measuring and analyzing historical and current market metrics and performing calculations necessary for occupancy predictions that are dynamically updated as market conditions change.

LRO beats competition based on industry experience and research

Market experience led Timberland Partners to choose LRO, says Moore. My industry experience spans almost 23 years. I have worked with large, well-known public real estate investment trusts during rollouts of LRO and competing systems. Based on that knowledge, our industry contacts, and our research, we chose Rainmaker. The LRO system is the right fit for our company. Their management and implementation group were highly professional and a pleasure to work with.

LRO is effective in Timberland Partners major markets and also in its smaller tertiary markets. The automated program is replicable on any site, in any market, said Moore. The system features a consistent pricing methodology that determines optimal pricing on a daily basis at the unit type level. Then, LRO distributes pricing to all marketing sources.

Rate optimization that never sleeps

LRO also saves time for onsite staff, said Jessie Zettel. The program bases calculations on mathematical modeling rather that gut feelings and removes emotions from the rent-setting process. LRO never sleeps, Zettel explained. The system cannot be distracted or forget to evaluate or adjust pricing.

Timberland Partners expects to implement LRO for its newest acquisitions within the next 60 days. Timberland is a great example of a forward-thinking operator who is expanding its capabilities with the newest technology tools and marketing strategies to operate more profitably, said Georgie Gaalema, Rainmaker Business Consultant.

Timberland Partners is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and employs nearly 200 full and part time employees.

EB5i Partners with Mirzam Investor Green Card to help more Investors Get their Green Cards

Jupiter,Fl (PRWEB) April 20, 2012

Paul Hannam and EB5i.com are excited to announce their partnership with Mirzam Investor Green Card, LLC. a USCIS approved Regional Center. President and Founder of Mirzam Investor Green Card, Clifford Morris, immigrated to the United States in 2006 with his wife and 3 children. Clifford quickly identified the EB5 visa program as a great opportunity for foreigners who are looking to obtain a US Green Card.

Even before I moved to the United States I identified the EB5 program as a great opportunity for foreign investors to bring their families and lifestyle to America. The EB5 visa program provides a fast track to America and all its opportunities. Clifford Morris President of Mirzam Investor Green Card, LLC.

Being an immigrant himself, Clifford and his team are in a unique position to help EB5 investors navigate the potential pitfalls of an already complex immigration process. His current EB5 project, Florida Organic Aquaculture (FOA), provides EB5 investors with a unique opportunity in a sea of “me too” EB5 visa real estate investments. The aquaculture project brings together a highly qualified group of internationally recognized academics and experienced professionals using cutting edge American technology to breed and produce a variety of seafood for the South Florida market, one of the largest seafood markets in the United States.

Florida Organic Aquaculture uses a specialized recirculating water aquaculture system that is enclosed in greenhouses. It uses advanced water quality monitoring systems, pumps, filters, a water treatment plant and emergency back-up devices to maintain perfect growing conditions year round. Fishing and open-air aquaculture are seasonal. Enclosure combined with a closed loop recirculating water supply creates bio-security, addressing the dominant causes of shrimp farm failure; diseases, bird predation and upstream & downstream pollution.

FOAs technology advantages extend well beyond eliminating limitations its competitors face: it yields up to ten times the shrimp production. It also eliminates chemicals and germs that degrade and destroy the natural taste of shrimp. It enables shrimp to grow out faster, making it practical to sell jumbo and colossal sized shrimp that command twice the price of commodity size shrimp. It produces fresh shrimp with a shelf life of several days, compared to the usual twenty-four to thirty-six hours that shrimp last after thawing. Jumbo and colossal sizes currently make up around 4% of import tonnage, but 8% of import revenues. Colossal size shrimp are in constant shortage. Open pen farms cannot economically grow these sizes, easily.

For more information regarding Clifford’s aquaculture project please email regionalcenter@eb5i.com to request a copy of their Immigration Overview Brochure.

We understand that the immigration process can be very confusing and we hope that offering direct access to an established EB5 Regional Center can help you get the facts you need to make an informed decision.







Leading UAE Bank Mashreq Partners with Prolexic to Implement DDoS Protection Services


Hollywood, FL (PRWEB) June 20, 2012

Prolexic, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, today announced that Mashreq, one of the leading financial institutions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), will be supported by Prolexics DDoS detection and DDoS protection services in the event that attacks are directed against its web site.

Since 1967, Mashreq has provided banking and financial services to millions of customers and businesses. With a growing retail presence in the region, including Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain as well as representative offices worldwide, awareness of the bank has increased along with the likelihood of DDoS attacks.

Mashreq has relied on the DDoS detection and DDoS protection services of its own security infrastructure, however, with DDoS attacks against financial institutions becoming larger and more intense, the bank took a proactive step to add more robust DDoS protection. Now, as a Prolexic client, when attacks become too large or complex to handle internally, it can draw upon Prolexics industry-leading 500 Gbps cloud-based mitigation platform and technicians based at the companys Security Operations Center.

Hosting providers, even with large networks and dedicated internal resources, are no match for todays complex application layer or high packet-per-second attacks, said Neal Quinn, chief operating officer at Prolexic. Having additional DDoS defenses in place is critical for protecting hosted sites in the banking and financial services sector in light of the recent surge of attacks on this industry.

DDoS Attacks on Financial Services Sector Increases in Q1 2012

According to the Prolexic Global Attack Report Q1 2012 compiled by the Prolexic Security and Engineering Response Team (PLXsert), financial services sites were hard hit by DDoS attacks in Q1 2012. During Q4 2011, over 168 trillion bits of data and 14 billion packets of malicious traffic were identified as targeting financial services clients. In Q1 2012, 5.7 quadrillion bits of data and 1.1 trillion malicious packets were identified and successfully mitigated, representing a 3,000% increase in malicious packet traffic over Q4 2011.

Prolexic has observed that DDoS attackers are taking a more direct strategy and focusing on specific targets such as financial services, Quinn said. Mashreqs adoption of Prolexics DDoS protection services illustrates how financial services firms can be proactive against online threats.

Recent DDoS attacks on banks in the UAE illustrate the urgency for online financial services firms and their hosting providers to be well prepared with DDoS defenses. Recently, both domestic and global sites of UAE banks were hit with an application layer (Layer 7) attack of 10 Mbps for approximately 10 days, resulting in intermittent site performance issues.

David Horton, Head of Strategy at Mashreq, said, Given the recent increase in DDoS attacks against banks locally and globally, Mashreq engaged Prolexic as a protective measure for attacks that our internal resources may not be equipped to handle. Recently recognized as ‘The Best Regional Retail Bank’, Mashreq has market leading online and mobile banking solutions for its customers, so protecting these services against disruption is of paramount importance to us. The age old advice certainly applies here prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
