Qmadix Debuts Technologically Advanced Mobile Solutions at CTIA Wireless











iharmonix Q-i-Sound


Panorama City, Calif. (PRWEB) May 08, 2012

Mobile technology visionary, Qmadix, proudly reveals iharmonix Q-i-sound, Tempered Tech-Armor, and Boostpac Eclipse at CTIA Wireless 2012. These innovative accessory solutions are focused on enhancing the mobile user experience. CTIA attendees will get full experience at 11 AM (CDT) at CTIA Wireless.

In January, 2012, the iharmonix Q-i-Sound prototype first came on the scene at the world-renowned CES convention in Las Vegas. These compact Bluetooth speakers sent ripples through the tech world with its revolutionary easily-portable-meets-high-performance functionality. It is the first portable sound system of its kind that is designed to pair wirelessly with any mobile Bluetooth Smartphone and tablet.

“Until now, there hasn’t been anything that could deliver high performance true stereo sound separation via Bluetooth without being plugged into a power source. The iharmonix Q-i-sound by Qmadix is designed to give our customers a portable home-quality sound experience anywhere.” – David Khalepari, CEO, Qmadix.

Tempered Tech-Armor Glass Screen Protector utilizes an innovative tempered triplex technology, which prevents the iPhone glass from shattering or scratching when dropped. The tempered glass is .03mm thick, but has strength greater than 9 times the breaking threshold of conventional glass. With propriety surface coating, the screen is resistant to fingerprints and smudges. Quality testing confirms the Tech-Armor tempered glass maintains the same touch sensitivity as designed by factory iPhone settings.

“Buying an iPhone or any smartphone isn’t just making a purchase – it’s making an investment. Our Tempered Tech-Armor Glass Screen Proctor is designed to ensure maximum screen protection. Once applied, it’s nearly undetectable and shatterproof.” – said Khalepari.

The boostpac eclipse is a compact universal rechargeable auxiliary battery pack fitted with Smart Technology to properly charge iPhone, iPod, Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Blackberry and most devices with Micro USB ports. Smart Technology ensures that both Apple and Android devices are charged at the proper amperage. It also automatically shuts off when the phone is done charging. This maintains the integrity of the factory charging specifications and battery levels. The LED battery indicator makes it easy for consumers to see how much battery is available.

“Our boostpac eclipse is elegantly tailored for our customers to enjoy their mobile devices the way wireless devices are intended to be used. Ultimately, we are making being tethered to a wall-plug a thing of the past because it gives customers freedom to charge anywhere. The boostpac eclipse is perfect for business professionals, travelers, sharing with friends and anyone who doesn’t always have time to wait for their phones to charge in the wall.” –Khalepari.

eMarketing Announces the Launch of the First-ever Electronic Brochure for Travel Agents










Marietta, Georgia (PRWEB) May 25, 2006

eMarketing, a leading electronic marketing firm specializing in travel industry applications today announced the immediate availability of the first-ever electronic brochure (eBrochure) designed for travel agents. The new product enables travel agents to personalize a travel provider’s eBrochure and gain a leading edge in customizing packages for its customers.

e-Marketing was one of the first companies to launch a flash based travel eBrochure back in 2003.Since then travel providers have been capitalizing on the ability to include streaming audio and video, animation, and state-of-the-art interactivity as well as offering data capture fields for inquiries, sign ups and the like.

“It is often cost-prohibitive for travel agents to distribute a supplier’s marketing and promotional materials. Our new product allows travel agents to add a new dimension in reaching customers and prospects. The agent can now bookmark and deliver a given supplier’s product information immediately via email,” said Michael Goldberg, President of eMarketing.

Unique Vacations, the worldwide representatives for Sandals and Beaches Resorts, is the first travel supplier to provide this new eBrochure to the travel agent community. Unique Vacations preferred agents can take advantage of the company’s co-registration program when using their personalized eBrochures. The agent’s unique id code is incorporated into each eBrochure.

Through a simple registration process, an agent can personalize their Sandals 2006 and Preston Bailey Wedding eBrochures. After registering, each agent receives a unique URL to use on their website and in their email communications. When a prospect receives and views these eBrochures, the agent’s contact information will be visible. Users will also be able to click on the link to the agent’s website for more information as well as click on a link to email the agent.

Travel agents have various opportunities to personalize their eBrochures. They can include a linkable logo, tagline and company name as well as include their phone number, fax number, address, email address and URL. This information is delivered as part of the eBrochure and remains visible when the recipient forwards it to friends and family.

When a user clicks on a link within the eBrochure, they are automatically taken to the agent’s co-branded website. In addition, the preferred agent will get credit for anyone doing an electronic booking directly from the agent’s personalized eBrochure.

About eMarketing

eMarketing, Inc. is based in Marietta, Georgia. The company was founded in 1998. eMarketing developed the first travel trade email database over eight years ago. They presently provide email broadcast services to their proprietary database of over 92,000 travel agents. The company develops electronic brochures for travel suppliers.

Travel Management Company Can Offer Best Fares to All

Travel Management Company Can Offer Best Fares to All










Tunbridge Wells, Kent (PRWEB) December 19, 2011

A recent article published on e-tid.com suggests unmanaged business travel could become more of the norm due to better deals online. However, CT Business Travel’s Managing Director Mark Kempster was quick to respond, “We already offer our clients the opportunity to book the cheapest prices available, even if that means we book through sites such as Expedia, Easyjet or British Airways on their behalf. Our business model is based on charging a transparent management fee, so who we book business flights, hotels and car rental through makes no difference”.

Kempster continued, “The key difference is companies who pay the small fees we charge for using our service enjoy all the benefits that come with using a corporate travel specialist. This allows a business to focus all its efforts in running their company rather than wasting precious time managing their business travel needs”.

As an independent business travel agent, CT Business Travel works with all airlines, hotel and car rental companies worldwide – it has no preferences. However, being part of Uniglobe does mean CT Business Travel has considerable buying power and secures the best business travel airfares, hotel and car hire rates, which it can access in instances where the best consumer internet deals are not suitable or available.

The benefits to companies who use CT Business Travel’s services are substantial, such as having their own team of qualified staff taking care of all their travel requirements, visa advice and entry requirements. It also includes an out of hours service which proves incredibly useful when clients get caught up in adverse weather conditions, strikes or freak occurrences like last years’ ash cloud.

CT Business Travel offers clients a credit facility and prides itself on the high level of service it provides, which is reflected in the long standing client accounts it manages and retains, which is impressive considering clients do not have to commit to any contract term.

Another important benefit is CT Business Travel’s ability to work with its clients to device their policy compliance which it then implements and follows. This can include setting budget levels for employees, travel policies like class of travel depending on the duration of a flight, or when individuals are allowed to travel etc. With the use of CT Business Travel’s sophisticated technology, CT Business Travel can effectively monitor and report on all bookings made. This information allows a client to understand how budgets are being spent, where potential savings can be made and instances where policies are being abused.

The travel management fees CT Business Travel charge are minimal and range from £10 to £35 per booking, which depends on the nature of the transaction, such as whether a booking is made through the call centre due to being a complex itinerary or using the online booking tools CT Business Travel provides.

For more information on how to become a client of CT Business Travel and the services it provides, call 01892 673 427.
