Furniture National Business Furniture Launches High-End Designer Chairs at Mainstream Prices
The Arris chair combines chrome, mesh and upholstery.
Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) January 31, 2012
National Business Furniture (NBF) unveiled a new collection of designer office chairs priced well below comparable chairs; effectively bringing high-end design and ergonomic comfort to the typical office. The Arris Collection, part of NBF’s exclusive NBF Signature Series, offers style and comfort typically reserved for chairs that sell for twice as much.
Randy Farah, NBF Vice President of Merchandising, spoke about NBF’s high-tech, affordable chair, “We’re excited to be able to offer a chair that possesses style and function comparable to that of more expensive office chairs, but at a price that many businesses can afford.”
In addition to craftsmanship and price, the chair’s unique design sets it apart from others in the marketplace. A thin profile with swooping curves and sharp angles give the chair a stunning appearance. Adjustment levers and buttons are tucked seamlessly into the base. The frame, seat and back intermingle in an artistic convergence of chrome, mesh and upholstery.
The chair features ergonomic adjustments which allow each user a personalized fit, recommended to avoid injury, fatigue and chronic pain. “Providing suitable office furniture for employees has been proven to increase productivity and reduce healthcare claims,” said Rick Wachowiak, NBF General Manager, “That’s another reason the Arris Chair is a valuable choice — it benefits both your employees and your bottom line.”
NBF developed its own private-label brand, NBF Signature Series, as a way to provide customers exclusive selection, distinctive quality, and exceptional value. Often, furniture selections for the series are developed as a response to customer inquiry and need. In the case of the Arris Collection, Farah happened upon the chair at a manufacturer’s site and knew, “It was perfect for NBF customers.”

Furniture mywedding Releases Their Top Wedding Trends for 2012
Castle Rock, Colorado (PRWEB) January 17, 2012
With the start of the New Year, comes a fresh season of wedding trends; mywedding today announced their predictions for 2012.
Resident wedding expert Sarah Pierce said, “2012 will be a very interesting and super gorgeous year for weddings. We expect to see big glam, thoughtful themes, and lots of attention to detail.”
The Top Trends for 2012 are:
1. Varying Necklines: Last year’s royal wedding absolutely influenced wedding dress trends. Thanks to Kate’s long lace sleeves, we will be seeing a greater variety of different necklines and sleeve lengths. Strapless gowns will take a back seat to one shoulder, illusion necklines, cap sleeves, and deep v necks.
2. More glamour: For several years, we have seen a trend towards simple and in 2012 we will start to move away from that. From sparkly accents to faux fur shrugs, weddings will look more expensive and have that little extra “pop” of opulence.
3. Food Stations: There will be more details to dress them up such as sleek matching signage and more emphasis on presentation. Many couples will choose to have a food station as their favors such as “make your own midnight snack” tables featuring popcorn, candies, and cookies.
4. Big Lush Bouquets: Expect lots of multi-textured bouquets with different hues. Centerpieces, although they won’t all necessarily match, will also follow this trend.
5. Buying DIY: Couples are realizing that not everyone can make DIY look like an Amy Atlas tablescape (seriously, who can pull that off?). However, they love the individualization and originality that DIY details can provide. Therefore, many couples will start buying their “DIY” details, and having florists and other artists complete their vision for them.
6. Less Symmetry: Expect different dresses and shoes on bridesmaids, variations on details like table numbers and place cards, and different rented furniture for each area.
7. Intimate Gatherings: Some weddings will have smaller guest lists to achieve this, while larger weddings will use communal dining tables and creating small spaces within the event room to have the feel of a more inclusive gathering.
8. Pops of Color: The color palettes for 2012 are at seemingly opposite ends of the spectrum. Super creamy neutrals are very on-trend through most of 2012. However, extra bright pops of color will be present over the spring and summer, such as red-orange, lime greens, and royal blues. Black is also back in a big way as an accent color.

Furniture M&A Edges Up in 2011, Driven By Marketing and Interactive Services
New York, New York (PRWEB) January 04, 2012
The media, information, marketing services and technology sectors saw nearly 900 transactions in 2011 that totaled $ 47 billion, a 9% rise over 2010, according to The Jordan, Edmiston Group, Inc. (JEGI) (http://www.jegi.com), the leading independent investment bank specializing in M&A advisory across these core markets. With the S&P 500 index flat for the year and turmoil in global markets, this growth demonstrated the resilience and attractiveness of these sectors to corporate and financial buyers, as media, marketing and information rapidly evolve and become increasingly intertwined. Driven in large part by technology, Marketing & Interactive Services continues to be the main driver of growth for M&A, accounting for a third of transaction volume in 2011 and 32% of deal value.
Overall, the interactive markets, including B2B and B2C Online Media & Technology and Mobile Media & Technology, as well as Marketing & Interactive Services, accounted for 71% of M&A deal activity for the year and 65% of value. Two of the more “traditional” media sectors also saw sharp year-over-year growth in M&A activity and deal value – Consumer Magazines (up 23% in number of deals and nearly 15x in deal value) and Exhibitions & Conference (up 39% and 249%).
Largest Deals of 2011
Looking at the largest deals of 2011 (32 transactions with $ 400+ million of value), the Consumer Magazine market accounted for four of these transactions and benefited from a sharp increase in investment from both strategic companies and private equity firms. The largest consumer magazine transaction, which cracked the top 10 largest deals of the year, was Apax Partners’ buyout of Trader Corporation from Yellow Media for $ 745 million in March. Just outside the top 10 were Hearst Corporation’s acquisition of Lagardère’s international magazine group for $ 651 million in February and Axel Springer’s acquisition of WAZ Media Group for $ 613 million in October.
The Exhibitions & Conferences market did not appear among the largest deals for 2011, but it did see a transaction during the year that is significant for this market – Providence Equity Partners’ acquisition of George Little Management from Daily Mail & General Trust for $ 180 million in September (JEGI represented DMGT in this transaction).
The Marketing & Interactive Services and Database & Information Services sectors accounted for 17 of the 32 transactions on the top deals list for 2011. Marketing & Interactive Services saw investments across a range of services, from customer experience marketing to real-time analytics to retail marketing insights. Financial information dominated the Database & Information Services sector, accounting for six of the eight largest information transactions for the year.
B2B Online Media & Technology and Healthcare Information & Technology each saw three transactions make the list for 2011. The B2C Online Media & Technology and Education Information, Technology & Training sectors were each represented by two transactions on the list. The Mobile Media & Technology sector saw one deal on the largest deal list for 2011 – DeNA’s acquisition of mobile gaming company ngmoco for $ 400 million in May. The mobile market is still fairly nascent, and mobile deal values increased 37% in 2011 over 2010.
Top 10 Deals of 2011
For 2011, the top 10 deals comprised three transactions from each of the following sectors – B2B Online Media & Technology; Marketing & Interactive Services; and Database & Information Services, along with the Consumer Magazine deal noted above. The largest deal was eBay’s acquisition of GSI Commerce for $ 2.4 billion in March. Oracle entered the top 10 with two $ 1+ billion acquisitions in October in marketing services and technology – RightNow Technologies and Endeca Technologies.
Private equity buyers accounted for three of the top 10 deals, including the buyout of Go Daddy Group by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR), Silver Lake Partners and Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV) for $ 2.25 billion and New Mountain Capital’s acquisition of SymphonyIRI for $ 800 million, along with the Apax Partners’ deal mentioned above. Rounding out the top 10 were three deals in the information market – Bloomberg’s acquisition of Bureau of National Affairs for $ 992 million in August; CoStar Group’s acquisition of LoopNet for $ 860 million in April; and LSE’s acquisition of FTSE International for $ 703 million in December – along with Web.com’s acquisition of Network Solutions for $ 756 million in August.
A Mix of Buyers
Of the 32 largest deals for 2011, eight (or 25%) were led by private equity buyers, with the balance being driven by strategic company acquirers. Repeat buyers during the year included Oracle, as mentioned above, as well as two private equity firms – KKR and New Mountain Capital. Along with the buyout of Go Daddy Group as part of a consortium, KKR acquired Ipreo Holdings from Veronis Suhler Stevenson (VSS) for $ 425 million in May. New Mountain Capital acquired SNL Financial for $ 405 million in August, following its buyout of SymphonyIRI in June.
JEGI Activity Continues
JEGI closed two significant transactions in Q4 of 2011, bringing the year’s total to 15 (JEGI represented the seller in each deal):
Sale of Travidia, a developer of online shopping solutions for local media, to a consortium of eight leading media companies – Advance Digital, A. H. Belo Corporation, Cox Media Group, Gannett Co., Hearst Corporation, MediaNews Group, The McClatchy Company, and The Washington Post Co.; and
Sale of The Retail Equation, a leading SaaS platform for retail transaction optimization solutions, to Norwest Venture Partners, a global venture capital firm celebrating 50 years in the venture industry.
Looking Ahead
The media and technology markets continue to evolve at a torrid pace, and companies are increasingly seeking assets to drive growth and provide new revenue streams. JEGI expects that a diverse and active pool of buyers, including both strategic companies and private equity firms, both of which have access to capital and will benefit from a steadily improving debt financing market, will drive vigorous M&A activity in the year ahead. JEGI’s active pipeline of new deal opportunities also suggests that M&A will continue at a healthy pace across its core markets through the first half of 2012.
M&A Highlights for 2011
Deal value for the b2b online media and technology sector spiked 132% for the year on 63 announced deals in 2011, driven by several multi-billion deals including eBay’s acquisition of GSI Commerce for $ 2.4 billion in Q1 and the $ 2.25 billion buyout of Go Daddy in Q3 by KKR, Silver Lake, and TCV. In Q4, notable deals included Rimage’s acquisition of Qumu, online video communications technology, for $ 53 million; Inuvo’s acquisition of Vertro, software for Web browser updates; Google’s acquisition of Apture, transforms web pages into multi dimensional channels; and Say Media’s acquisition of ReadWriteWeb, a technology news and information site.
B2c online media and technology was the second most active sector for M&A in 2011, with 214 transactions at a total value of $ 7.6 billion. However, the number of deals and value dipped slightly (by 7% and 10%, respectively) versus 2010 levels. Q4 saw two significant e-commerce transactions – Rakuten’s acquisition of Kobo, an online retailer of books, magazines, and newspapers, for $ 315 million; and Bridgepoint Capital Group’s acquisition of ISIS Equity Partners’ Wiggle, an online retailer for the cycling and tri-sports markets, for $ 314 million.

M&A activity for the business-to-business media sector was nearly non-existent in 2011, with only 14 deals for the year at a total value of $ 50 million. Q4 saw three b2b media deals: Centaur Media sold its Recruiter Portfolio, a b2b media platform for the recruiting market, to Redactive Publishing; Penton Media sold Paper, Film & Foil Converter, a trade publication serving the package printing industry, to YTC Media; and KAP Media sold security related b2b media properties to Annex Business Media.
The consumer magazines sector saw a number of larger transactions in 2011, including Axel Springer’s acquisition of WAZ Media Group for $ 613 million in Q4. For the year, the number of deals and value for the sector increased 23% and nearly 15x, respectively, over 2010 levels. Other notable Q4 deals included a $ 38 million investment in Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia by J.C. Penney; Hearst Corporation’s acquisition of Hachette China, the regional publishing operation owned by Hachette Filipacchi Medias Group; and Meredith’s acquisition of Everyday with Rachel Ray from Reader’s Digest. The most intriguing deal of the quarter was the acquisition of Carus Publishing, a publisher of educational magazines and books, by ePals, a social online learning network. The transaction provides ePals with a deep pool of high-quality content and 300,000+ subscribers, as the company looks to build an integrated education media company.
The database and information services sector saw a sharp decline in the number of deals announced (down 38%) and deal value (down 49%) in 2011 versus 2010. Still, the sector accounted for more than $ 6 billion of announced transactions in 2011, including the London Stock Exchange’s acquisition of FTSE International, a provider of financial information, for $ 703 million in Q4. Other notable Q4 deals included Moody’s Corporation’s acquisition of Goldman Sachs’ Barrie & Hibert, a provider of risk management tools, for $ 78.5 million and Halyard Capital’s acquisition of Tranzact’s Information Services division from Veronis Suhler Stevenson for an estimated $ 40 million.
The education information, technology and training sector saw 59 transactions announced at a total value of nearly $ 3 billion in 2011, representing flat year-over-year deal volume, with a 42% decline in deal value versus 2010. In Q4, Pearson continued to be active, acquiring Global Education and Technology Group, a provider of education courses and services in China, for $ 148 million and TQ Education & Training, which offers vocational and technical education and training services. Sanoma acquired two Scandinavia-based educational publishers in Q4 – Tammi Learning and Bonnier Utbildning. Other notable deals in the quarter included SkillSoft’s acquisition of Element K, the e-learning solutions provider, from NIIT, for $ 110 million and MidOcean Partners’ acquisition of Global Knowledge, a provider of business training, from Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe.
The exhibitions and conferences sector saw increased activity in Q4 that lifted the number of deals for the year to 32 (from 18 transactions through Q3), driving a 39% increase in M&A activity for the year over 2010 levels. Deal value for the sector nearly quadrupled in 2011, to a total of $ 451 million, led by Providence Equity Partners’ $ 180 million buyout of George Little Management, the US trade show platform of Daily Mail & General Trust, in Q3. Q4 was dominated by strategic company acquirers, including United Business Media, which made two acquisitions in the quarter – Index Furniture Private, a producer of furniture and interiors exhibition in India, and Online Marketing Summit, an annual tradeshow for the online marketing industry in the US. Large, global exhibition company organizers Bonnier, Diversified Business Communications, Pennwell, and Reed Elsevier were also active acquirers in the quarter.
In 2011, healthcare information and technology was the third most active sector for M&A, with 77 transactions for the year, representing a 48% increase over 2010 levels. Deal value more than doubled in 2011 over 2010, to nearly $ 3.7 billion. In Q4, there were several larger deals of note, including HMS Holdings’ acquisition of HealthDataInsights, a technology-enabled healthcare services company, for $ 400 million and SXC Health Solutions’ acquisition of HealthTran, a provider of healthcare management products and services, from ABRY Partners, for $ 250 million.

The marketing and interactive services sector continues to lead in M&A volume with 291 transactions announced at a total value of $ 15.1 billion in 2011, up 17% and 33%, respectively, over 2010. Q4 saw a number of notable transactions, including

Furniture Marchetti & Sabatelli Associates Helps Local Residents Save Money and Stay Safe This Winter with NJ Homeowners Insurance and Home Heating Tips
Monmouth Beach, New Jersey (PRWEB) December 23, 2011
The team at Marchetti & Sabatelli Associates, Inc. knows that with home heating costs so high, many local residents may be looking for ways to cut their expenses. As experts in NJ homeowners insurance, the staff at Marchetti & Sabatelli often encounters homeowners who have had to file claims on their home insurance policies due to accidents that occurred when they were trying to heat their home. In order to help local residents stay warm safely and affordably this winter, the experts at Marchetti & Sabatelli Associates would like to offer the following home heating tips:
When using the home furnace, lower the thermostat 3-5 degrees – unless it would have a negative impact on the residents’ health – and turn it off when not home. This can help save up to 30 percent on heating costs.
Homeowners should check furnace filters every month during the heating season and clean or replace the filter when necessary in order to reduce the risk of overheating or igniting a fire.
With NJ homeowners insurance, local residents do not have to worry about the financial implications of a home heating disaster, but they should still take steps to avoid such situations by refraining from blocking heating outlets with furniture or other objects.
Avoid using space heaters. If these must be utilized, ensure that there is a 3-foot clearance around the devices so that they do not ignite drapes or other fabrics.
Open the drapes or blinds during the day and let the sun help warm the home. Close drapes or blinds at night to keep the warmth inside.
As experts in NJ homeowners insurance, the agents at Marchetti & Sabatelli want to ensure that local residents stay safe and are able to put their hard-earned money toward their holiday gifts instead of toward their home heating bills. Of course, taking steps to avoid a heating-related accident could also save people money in the sense that they will not have to pay those insurance deductibles!
About Marchetti & Sabatelli Associates, Inc.:
Marchetti & Sabatelli Associates was formed in September 2000 by joining two established insurance agencies run by owners who collectively have more than 75 years of insurance experience. The agency was founded on a mutual philosophy of personal, professional service. As a full-service insurance agency, Marchetti & Sabatelli’s staff of insurance specialists service over 4,000 clients. The agency utilizes a state-of-the-art computerized rating and management system to offer a comparison of rates and coverages from several companies and enable its staff to instantly create the insurance documents clients need.
