Incredible Internet Traffic the Key to a Strong Fall Selling Season
Posted on January 14th, 2012 No comments
Whitby, Ontario (PRWEB) January 14, 2012Campkins RV Centre, serving southern Ontario in Canada, reports a very strong Fall Selling Season and attributes it to Overwhelming Internet Traffic. 2011 was the companys very best year since it started in 1973.
Campkins RV uses a combination of Search Engine Optimization and online and traditional marketing techniques. The most important tactic, according to Owner and Sales Manager Brad Campkin, has been ensuring that ALL of their New RVs and Used RVs are being advertised, through multiple channels, with detailed descriptions, lots of pictures and posted pricing. Our SEO/Web partner, SynergyPro Solutions, makes sure each product page has the best chance of being indexed by Google and the other search engines.
Campkins RV website traffic surpassed one million inventory page views for the very first time. Going from approximately 350,000 in 2010 to over a million in 2011 definitely has kept our sales department much busier, in fact weve even had to hire two more sales people to keep up, says Brad.
Traffic is a great barometer of your companys online health but conversion rates are the true indicator of fitness. The Campkins RV Centre conversion rate is higher than ever – We track each contact made and are seeing just under 50% of our calls and emails from the website converting to visits at the dealership! Campkin also says having the SELLING PRICE on the website, not Call for Price or fill out a form to get the price has made a huge difference. People come in knowing what to expect and are all set to look at the RVs they saw online, he says.
New this past year, Campkins launched Canadas first RV Parts and Accessory Store. Many dealership Parts & Accessory offerings are just a link to a third party suppliers online catalogue. Campkins RV has created an RV Parts Store that lists the actual inventory in their Accessory Showroom and allows customers to place orders and pay by credit card instantly. We have made it easy for our customers to shop online, again making our Website our most important marketing tool year-round, says Brad. The future is here and we embrace it!
We have also created a Mobile Website for Smart-phones and Tablets so that when our customers are on the go on the road in their RVs, they can access our Parts and Accessory Store right from their mobile devices, they can book a service appointment, locate or call us with a click of a button, plus all our inventory in stock is accessible from our mobile website.
Last but not least Campkins RV Centre has an iPhone App, available on the iTunes Store, that is really quite popular. Brad says We are getting a lot of new subscribers who now receive our push notifications of daily news and events at the dealership, up-to-the-minute specials, clearance pricing and much more.
You can follow Campkins RV on Twitter or join them on Facebook. Find all the links on their website: http://www.campkins.com
Campkins RV Centre is in Myrtle Station, North Whitby, Ontario, Canada. They have served the southern Ontario RV market since 1973, offering full year round service, an RV Accessory Showroom and the top selling brands of towable RVs in North America. Campkins RV is a member of the RV Care Network, a Canada wide Dealer Network that looks after customers travelling from coast to coast.

On Anniversary of 9/11, Many New Yorkers Will Try Not to Dwell on It
Posted on September 10th, 2011 No comments
Laurel Wells, at her apartment building in Brooklyn, is among residents with mixed feelings about the many events commemorating Sept. 11
She is not going to any of the free concerts being staged across New York City throughout the weekend.
She is not going to the hand-holding human chain that will form along the waterfront in Lower Manhattan on Saturday morning.
She is not going to the writing of personal reflections on natural fiber paper at the Wave Hill center in the Bronx on Sunday afternoon.
She is going to neither the Table of Silence tribute at Lincoln Center on Sunday morning, nor the floating lantern ceremony at Pier 40 in Greenwich Village that evening.
As for the myriad additional events being held in the city this weekend to mark the 10th anniversary of that awful day, she will be absent.
Weather permitting, she is going to the beach.
Ms. Wells means no disrespect, not at all. She will remember the hurt of the attacks in her own muted way rather than at a public assemblage.
“I don’t want to be reminded,” she said. “Enough. I’m bummed. I really don’t want to go through that again. It’s not a celebration. I have really mixed feelings. I have feelings of sadness and feelings of fear.”
In her avoidance, she will have abundant company. While first responders have been fighting to get into the scripted ceremony at the site, and others have scribbled one or another of the weekend’s dizzying possibilities on their calendars, many New Yorkers want nothing to do with the innumerable happenings attached like limpets to the anniversary. Plenty of them are leaving town, wanting as much space as possible from the ghosts and the day’s enduring grasp.
For some, it is all too bleak. They do not want to be submerged in squeamish memories. Others find too much politics and the clang of commerce staining the day, not how they feel homage should be paid to the lost lives. Or they do not want to confront the intensified security, the risk of bomb threats. Or they are simply anniversary-exhausted.
The events, of course, will attract many people who feel more ardent about them. Millions of others will watch the official ceremony on Sunday morning and the untold hours of related coverage on television.
But some other number will be out there with their regular golf foursome or tennis partner. They will be vacuuming, exercising at the gym, studying for a quantum mechanics exam, training the dog. They will be celebrating personal milestones, like wedding anniversaries or birthdays.
For one young Manhattan woman, an I.T. researcher, Sunday is her day to volunteer at the Red Cross doing, of all things, disaster relief. She imagines she will be visiting some people whose home caught fire, soothing them.
In an unscientific random sampling of some four dozen New Yorkers over the last couple of days, only two said they might attend something connected to 9/11, and even they were not sure they would.
Ms. Wells, 44, a fashion producer who now lives in Brooklyn, occupied an apartment in SoHo on 9/11, where she had an unobstructed view south. She watched the second plane pierce the south tower, watched both towers disintegrate.
She has a weekend house in East Moriches, on Long Island, and she might not usually head out there this late in the summer season, but she was deliberately going with her husband and son to be distanced from the city.
“I don’t know any New Yorkers who are participating in any of this,” she said. “The city will be one big security zone. Most of my friends are getting out of the city.”
Albert Santiago, 48, a building superintendent who lives in the Bronx, will also be out of town. He will be in Monticello, N.Y. His sister, Sonia, has a trailer in a campground there, and it is her 55th birthday. The relatives will be gathering.
“The anniversary means a lot,” he said. “But so does my sister. I will remember in my mind.”

Whatever happened to…
Posted on August 19th, 2011 No commentsSpencer Kelly looks at the future of AR and photo-realistic modelling
Augmented reality has been touted as the “next big thing” for a while, yet mainstream success has proved elusive. So what can be done to turn it from a gimmick into a commercial necessity?
Imagine being able to watch miniature versions of Kings of Leon or Lady Gaga play on a table right in front of your eyes.
This is augmented reality (AR) in action.
Integrating computer-generated images and the real world has been made possible by the ever-increasing power of small computing devices, which can now render realistic 3D figures in real-time.
One company – String, in partnership with tech firm Digicave – has developed and demonstrated a system that creates the impression of a 3D figure mapped onto, for example, a book shelf. Such technology opens up the possibility of having a pop star appear in your bedroom, performing as if they were on-stage.
“I think what we’re delivering here is a unique experience that no-one has ever seen before,” says String’s CEO Alan Maxwell.
“For example, we can capture a live performance from an artist on stage… and deliver that performance to people’s devices wherever they are in the world and they simply have to hold their device at a marker. I think there is a certain amount of value in that.”
The idea of augmented reality was first mooted as far back as in 1965, with Ivan Sutherland’s now famous essay Augmented Reality: The Ultimate Display. In it, he said that “with appropriate programming… a display could literally be the Wonderland into which Alice walked,” stating that digital handcuffs would be able to actually restrain users, and those shot by digital characters would be killed in real life.
His vision bears uncanny resemblance to the Matrix, although it is far from the world of AR that we currently inhabit.
Nearly 50 years after that prophetic work, computers have advanced beyond comprehension. However, commercial developments in AR have been slow and the buzz that surrounded the technology a couple of years ago seems to be waning.
That is perhaps because, up until now, the products and software available to most people have been gimmicky, fun applications rather than – as much of the industry thought – lifestyle must-haves.
Even in marketing, the first AR advert was seen in 2007 but the message seemed to be lost on most people until relatively recently, when models dressed up as angels seemed to magically appear alongside passengers at a London train station.
But while AR failed to captured the popular imagination, the technology was being extensively used in commercial environments.
“Fighter pilots are a classic example,” says Dan Sung, editor of features at tech site Pocket Lint.
“The technology [of using a heads-up display] has been there since Top Gun. It’s really useful and the reason we don’t talk about it is because it’s so good no one even notices it’s augmented reality.”
The heads-up display can now be used by cyclists and snowboarders alike, and in sports where looking unconventional is seen as often appealing, bulky goggles may not be a problem.
Sports programming is also a large user and developer of graphics that interact and rely on real-world reference points. A game of cricket or American football – for example – would now look strange without the use of some form of AR technology.
Then there is the possibility of using augmented reality to “add value” to the real world. Technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones has looked at some firms that are developing AR as a marketing tool .
Yet it all seems rather limited compared to the vision of AR painted by future-gazing technology evangelists.
What makes AR’s slow progress all the more apparent is the way that sci-fi series and Hollywood have taken to the idea like a 3D duck to pixelated water. From the holo-deck in Star Trek to – perhaps more realistically – the virtual reality simulations in a recent James Bond film, examples are all around.
Sony recently announced its “SmartAR” project, which seems to have solved many of the problems which critics have previously used to discredit the technology – that it is too slow and does not react well to the unsteady devices it is used on.
But it is the start-ups and smaller enterprises that many see as making the big breakthroughs.
One thing that developers are looking to get rid of as quickly as possible is the need to use tablet or mobile devices to see the extra images.
“Ultimately, what we really want is glasses for this kind of thing because there is the problem of swinging a phone around in front of your face,” says Sung.
“But a good working pair which doesn’t look as though you’re trying to assimilate people that people will actually wear is still at least five years away.”
The barrier of a screen between the user and the action is seen by many as a problem and, until that changes, critics say that this technology will struggle to engage people.
But when solved, the effects could be magical.
“Imagine shooting zombies coming out of the ground while wearing glasses, it’s pretty incredible,” says Maxwell.
And away from gaming, rather than just videos and extra information, imagine walking round Trafalgar Square with a 3D depiction of Admiral Nelson you could ask questions to, or watching dramas that take place in specific locations with characters interacting with their surroundings in real-time.
“We need the whole world as a 3D reference,” says Jan Schlink from AR firm Metaio.
“In 10 to 15 years, I really think you will be able to walk around the city and have it all augmented. There are already 3D map providers and you could use these and create a model so that entire cities could be referenced.”
But perhaps the real challenge will be making the digital and real worlds combine and work together as if it had always been that way. As is often the way with technology, it has only been truly integrated with mass society if no-one notices it.
“What happens in 20 years, that’s the ultimate test,” says Sung.
“When augmented reality has made it, no-one will talk about it anymore. It will just be there.”

Make Your Videos Interactive With Viewbix (Mashable)
Posted on August 12th, 2011 No commentsThe viral web videos are standard fare – they spend all so much that people often have no idea where they came from. A startup called Viewbix tries to correct this problem with a service that allows anyone to make an interactive video Viewbix version is basically a kind of YouTube annotations:. Visit the site (which is free), add a video to YouTube and Facebook and start customizing. Add a title, a link to your site, details of video, photos, and a variety of applications (Google Maps, RSS, Twitter, Skype, a QR code) and share your videos. It will now be involved in all your information so that when he went along, users know who they are and where to find it. Check out my test below.
We can see this service be a great benefit for the bands – particularly in promoting a show.Imagine the release of a promotional video-show with music information, Location (Google Maps), ticket info (Skype) and a bar with some type of in-show promotion.
Viewbix plans to release its premium product soon. The first 1,000 Mashable readers who sign up and get a player six months free premium service (when it was published).

Rumor: Pegatron gets iPad 3 contract, may see tablet in November (Digital Trends)
Posted on July 29th, 2011 No comments
The Internet is quickly churning out Apple-related rumors today. Along with looking at five iPhone models, iPad three words exchanged contracts Foxconn. In addition, the popular tablet device release date is narrowed to November this year. According to a report from the Taiwan Economic News, Taiwan-based manufacturer Hon Hai Pegatron would provide for the iPad 3 production. Hon Hai Foxconn owns and produces a lot of Apple products including the new iPad. iPad second contract marks the second Pegatron Apple has grabbed the first break in pieces Hon Hai range dominance with an order for 15 million iPhones five earlier this month.For consumers, the new producer will mean that Apple will have a difficult time to satisfy the demand.
The report notes that Apple has supposedly a way, the dependence of Hon Hai, perhaps because of the terrible explosion at the factory in Chengdu in China in May, which resulted in injuries and even deaths of many workers sought to reduce. But even if it is Apple iPad Pegatron contracts, supply of spare chain will not be shaken. IPad suppliers for the parts remain the same even TPK Holdings (Touch Panel), Largan Precision (camera lens modules), and Simple Technology, and International Technology Dynapack (battery modules).
Found in a similar tidbit from the BGR in China is expected that Apple will be in time to start the new iPhone in the second week of September and the iPad 3 release will follow in two months.The iPad 3 publication was delayed due to the fault, but they are trying to release around Thanksgiving. The iPad rumor can not have strong legs, like the iPad 2 was released in March this year.

Hacker hijacks Xbox 360, sends SWAT team to home (Digital Trends)
Posted on July 2nd, 2011 No comments
A family in Florida was given a surprise cut this week after a hacker hijacked their Xbox 360, and placed a 911 call saying in a joke that someone had broken into their home, stabbed someone and kept the rest of the family hostage.
“I come by my room and have their weapons pointed at me and stuff,” says Hunter Gelinas, owner of the hacked Xbox. “I opened my door and I had the whole SWAT team at the door. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I want to die.”
According to Hunter Daleann mother, the hacker uses a “line of the disabled, and said that Hunter was stabbed to death and held hostage to parents and others in the house,” says WFTV.com.
The neighbors of the Gelinas were also surprised to see, to touch the stage, the most in their quiet neighborhood.
“Could you all had their guns trained on how they are ready if someone was to encourage them,” said neighbor Sam Murphy. “When I heard it was a joke, it made more sense anyway, because I thought that this neighborhood, nothing really happens here.”
The police were understandably not very happy with the joke. In an attempt to find out who was the rebel hacker who pulled the prank, reportedly took a series of electronic products made by Gelinas, including several computers and hacked Xbox.According to the report, the only thing they know so far is that the hacker is Canadian.
Security experts say the only way to keep someone from hacking is your game plan to leave the console offline. But let’s face it, nobody will have an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 has it, except maybe Hunter Gelinas.
“There is nothing there to stop them,” says computer expert Neil Wexell. “If they have access to computers, they can do what they do, as long as they have the ability and the knowledge that you want to do it.”

Online Vending Machine Dispenses Snacks at Your Behest (Mashable)
Posted on April 6th, 2011 No commentsThe Spark of Genius Series highlights a unique feature of startups and is made possible by Microsoft BizSpark. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here.
Name: Snack&Munch
Quick Pitch: Snack&Munch is a snack delivery service for your office, college, or anywhere else.
Genius Idea: An online vending machine for monthly snack delivery.
Sure, your office break room is likely outfitted with a run-of-the-mill vending machine, but those machines are far from reliable. They often run out of your favorite snacks just when you want them most, and they’ll sometimes eat up your change and not spit out your snack.
Perhaps Snack&Munch can better satisfy your office snack cravings. The newly launched startup, founded by brothers Farooq and Ammar Yousuf, serves as an online vending machine and lets users build a custom 24-piece snack pack they can have delivered to any home or office address in the United States.
Snacks are of the common vending machine variety, though there are more than 250 options spanning seven categories: breakfast, candy, cookies, chips and crackers, gum and mints, nuts, and international. Snack packs cost $24 per pack, and shipping is free. Users also have the option of setting up a monthly plan for reoccurring deliveries and will receive a $1 off discount should they choose to do so.
Obviously, Snack&Munch won’t be an immediate solution to your afternoon snack attack, but it could be a more reliable option if you’re prone to candy and/or chips cravings.
And if you’re asking yourself, “Wouldn’t it just be cheaper to stop by Costco and pick up snacks at wholesale prices?” the answer is yes. But as most of us who order delivery food know, there’s something to be said (and a price to be paid) for the convenience of having items delivered to your doorstep. We suspect the “lazy tax” applied to Snack&Munch goodies will be far from unappetizing for most.
Check it out, and let us know what you think in the comments.

Google Music: Coming Soon, Kinda-Sorta-Maybe (PC World)
Posted on April 6th, 2011 No commentsHot on the heels of the launch of Amazon’s Cloud Drive, new signs of Google’s music-streaming service are showing up around the Web.
A website called TechFrom10.com — which has been offline since Tuesday morning — received a copy of an apparent development version of a new Android Market interface for phones. Within the updated Market, the site found a new music player app for Android. It’s not complete, by any means, but the app runs relatively smoothly on Android 2.3, the latest smartphone version of Google’s mobile OS.
Big deal, right? It sounds underwhelming, I know. But what’s noteworthy about the discovery is the presence of cloud-based streaming features within the music player application.
When you dig into the settings of the new Android music app, you find a handful of options that seem to be tied to the long-discussed Google Music service. One allows you to select a Google account to connect to the application; another lets you temporarily cache streaming music files to help improve performance. All told, the app is actually quite similar to another Android music player leak we saw about a month ago, though the software seems to have evolved into a more stable and polished form since that last appearance.
Google Music and Android: The Bigger Picture
So let’s put this all into context: We first (officially) heard about Google’s plans for a cloud-based music streaming service last spring, when Google gave us a sneak peek at the aptly named Google Music during its 2010 I/O developers’ conference. Since then, we’ve heard rumors upon rumors of a pending launch — including one that surfaced a few days ago — but no real signs of anything beyond the standard blogosphere-based hearsay.
The sudden appearance of this new Android music player, then, is certainly interesting. Remember, Amazon launched its own music-streaming service just last week. In doing so, it beat Google to the punch — potentially snagging hoards of Android streaming customers who may never look back. Now we have a tiny little reminder that, hey, Google has something on the way, too.
The situation gets even more interesting when you consider how the folks from TechFrom10 supposedly got their hands on this new Android music app. According to the site, the software randomly showed up on a writer’s Galaxy S phone via an over-the-air update. Now, are they telling the truth — and if so, does that mean this was some sort of intentional leak? We’ll likely never know for sure, but the possibility exists. (It could also, of course, have been a coincidentally timed mistake, or there could be more to the story than what we’ve been told.)
In terms of timing, there’s one other important piece to this Google Music puzzle. The latest round of rumors suggests Google is now testing its music-streaming service internally, with a possible reveal set for the company’s I/O developers’ conference — yep, the same event where we first heard about Google Music — next month.
This year’s Google I/O takes place May 10 and 11. Only time will tell whether all these clues are leading up to something, or whether they’re just red herrings in what’s starting to feel like a wild-goose chase.

Mozilla Brings Thunderbird Back In-House (PC World)
Posted on April 6th, 2011 No commentsSignaling a shift in its approach to online communication, Mozilla on Monday announced that it is bringing its Messaging subsidiary back within the fold of the main organization, where it will be absorbed into its Mozilla Labs group instead.
Practically, that will mean that Mozilla’s popular Thunderbird email client software will now fall into one of two communication-focused projects under way within Mozilla Labs. While development will continue on Thunderbird there, a new and parallel innovation group within Mozilla Labs will focus on “online communications and social interactions on the Web,” Mozilla Foundation chair Mitchell Baker explained in a blog post on the topic.
“The Web has changed a lot in the last few years,” Baker wrote. “One of the big changes is how much we now use the Web for messaging, communication and social interactions. We post messages on social networking sites, we tweet, we get messages (often known as ‘notifications’) from applications, we use Web-based mail systems. The pace and importance of innovation in this space is enormous and growing.”
Mozilla Labs has already been working on “identity, contacts and related topics,” Baker noted. After the teams merge, Mozilla Messaging will be dissolved.
‘A Solid and Foundational Technology’
The Mozilla Messaging subsidiary was formed back in 2008 to focus on Mozilla’s open source Thunderbird software as well as tools including Raindrop for messaging and the F1 browser extension for social sharing.
Current Messaging head David Ascher will continue to oversee Thunderbird as well as leading the new, Web-focused innovation group, Baker said.
“Thunderbird users and contributors should see no difference in their experience,” she explained. “Email is a solid and foundational technology which retains immense value…. We intend to continue our work with the Thunderbird email product to meet this need.”
Focus on Firefox
I’ve been using Thunderbird for a very long time, but–particularly given Mozilla’s outstanding success with its latest Firefox 4 release–I can see that shifting more focus to browser-enabled communication would be a logical next step.
It’s going to be exciting to see what new capabilities will arrive in upcoming versions of Firefox as a result.
