“Start-up company efusjon was recently featured in the Cascade Business News.
…The goal of efusjon management is to re-launch their brand at the beginning of the year, which will include an overhaul of their website. Ultimately they would like to introduce a new flavor every month, until they have 10 to 15 different healthy energy drinks on the market. Flavors and properties will be kept natural.
Following the model so successfully developed by Costco, efusjon will not use traditional marketing techniques. The say that social networking will be the key to their success. Similar to a wine club, members will join up and receive four cases a month. If members end up bringing more people on board, they will be compensated on a monthly basis. Essentially it is a referral based social networking model.
Everything will be handled out of the corporate headquarters which will utilize their website to manage and track their growth. “We want people to market for us, and we’re not going to have a fleet of delivery trucks so our model allows us to focus on managing our core business,” explained Towles, “and we needed to be somewhere where a healthy energy drink fits in.”

“GRAND RAPIDS — Grammy winners Sting, Wynton Marsalis and LeAnn Rimes are scheduled to perform in Grand Rapids in May. But unless you and your friends are selling a lot of cosmetics, vitamins or soap for Amway Global, you probably won’t be able to get a ticket.
As part of its 50th anniversary celebration, the Ada Township-based multilevel marketing giant is bringing the acts for private shows to entertain about 1,400 of its top-level executives and distributors beginning May 20.
All three have performed during the past couple of years in Grand Rapids.
Last May, Rimes played two nights with Kenny Chesney in Van Andel Arena. The same month, Sting appeared as part of The Police tour. Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra performed in DeVos Hall in June 2007.
The action doesn’t stop in Grand Rapids.
On May 28, an even larger group of Amway distributors and executives are invited to a private Elton John concert at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. “

Telecom Giant and Internet Guru Partner to Create Digital Phone Company
Austin, TX, April 3, 2009 – IamVoip, an established digital VoIP phone service, has joined forces with Steve Smith, Co-Founder and former Chief of Marketing for Excel Telecommunications. An industry leader, Mr. Smith has re-entered the communications realm to take a hands-on management position with IamVoip.
IamVoip is the brain child of Internet marketing guru Blake Christensen. Over the past three years IamVoip has become a leader in the Voice over Internet Protocol industry, offering its customers a service-based experience while pairing in-demand technology and a direct sales platform.
“The digital space is taking a hold over every aspect of modern consumerism,” said Smith. “As new technology emerges, it is crucial to stay on the cutting edge. IamVoip gives this fast-paced and technical industry a personable, approachable and familiar spirit. I’m looking forward to working with the company and expanding its dedicated clientele.”
Mr. Smith brings his knowledge and expertise to a company that is at the center of the innovations in the communications field as digital technology quickly becomes the standard in the telecom industry.
The IamVoip service offers substantial savings over standard telephone service, with no hidden “gotcha” fees as seen on traditional phone bills. Unlike other “free” internet-based calling services, IamVoip customers merely plug their home or business phones into the IamVoip jack and call as normal. There is no computer necessary. IamVoip provides Digital Phone Service (VoIP) by using a High Speed Internet connection instead of outdated, more expensive telecom lines.
IamVoip customers keep their established phone numbers and use their existing phone equipment to make calls as usual. IamVoip works exactly the same as traditional phone services. When customers pick up the phone, they hear a dial tone. When someone calls, the phone rings. The consumer will never notice a difference in service, only a drastic reduction in price.
There are several IamVoip packages available. Customers can also choose to become an Independent Sales Agent with the company to earn a residual income, while helping others save money on their phone service. In this uncertain economy it is vital to save every penny—and even more important to seek additional income sources. IamVoip offers both to the public.
For additional information on IamVoip and telecom giant Steve Smith, contact Kenny Trattner or visit www.iamvoip.com. To make a free call using IamVoip’s crystal clear digital service, visit the Make a Call on Us station at www.iamvoip.com.
