Fitzgerald Debt Acquisitions, LLC Introduces New Debt Management Firm, Fitzgerald Equity Partners,LLC

Fitzgerald Debt Acquisitions, LLC has yet again expanded its business strategy to assist private investment funds which seek to participate in the debt sales and collections marketplaces.

Fitzgerald Debt Acquisitions, LLC has yet again expanded its business strategy to assist private investment funds which seek to participate in the debt sales and collections marketplaces. The team at the Fitzgerald is partnering with various funding sources to further increase profitability and market share in the debt marketplace.

President Jeffrey Hartman states, “We have formed Fitzgerald Equity Partners, LLC to bring our years of debt management expertise to the people with significant investment ability who desire to enter the debt purchasing arena. We have been successful in managing our own portfolios, and are offering that service to those who want to purchase debt, but need an experienced hand to guide them with the collections process.”

The distressed debt investment space has become increasingly attractive for individual investors and institutions over the past few years, and consumer receivables are additional credit products that can provide substantial returns and diversification to a distressed debt portfolio.

“Private investment firms are continuing to search out new avenues of profitability in an increasingly volatile marketplace, and the paltry returns on government investments and risky nature of the stock market make the debt sales marketplace attractive. Investors are looking for more avenues of diversity for their funds, and the opportunities in the debt marketplace provide excellent profit margins.”

Jeffrey Hartman has partnered up with Richard Turano to help manage Fitzgerald Equity Partners, LLC. Richard Turano explains, “With distressed consumer debt prices on the rise, it’s essential that investors obtain the right prices when making debt purchases. Strong synergies between Fitzgerald Debt Acquisitions and Fitzgerald Equity Partners enable us to consult investors on the entire debt buying cycle from the initial purchase, to the collection process and back-end resale.” Richard Turano is a debt buyer and practicing attorney with a law firm in northern New Jersey.

Fitzgerald Debt Acquisitions is a national broker and seller of consumer, commercial, real estate, and other debt portfolios.

Franchises & Restaurant Chains Experiment with Mobile Cafes / Food Trucks

Prestige Food Trucks, a Premier Central Florida Food Truck Builder, Expands Operations to Meet Demands from Small to Large Restaurant Chains/Franchises

Due to significant demand, Prestige Food Trucks of Orlando, Florida has recently expanded its operations to include small to large restaurant chains/franchises.

“Over the past two years, many small to large restaurant chains/franchises have shown significant interest in taking their brand/restaurant to the food truck industry," stated Tracy Stein-CEO/President for Prime Pinnacle.

Mr. Stein further states the rise in popularity is because restaurant chains/franchises have begun to see the big picture in getting into the food truck business by studying, researching, and recognizing the following opportunities:

•     Franchises can extend their brand recognition immediately and exponentially while earning loyalty from their new customers early on
•     New locations for future Brick-And-Mortar Restaurants can be scouted out to gain important data on location and demographics for additional franchisee value and security
•     Mobile/Roaming Billboard for Advertising/Promotions/Marketing
•     Testing and data gathering on new menu items and concepts for mass-production
•     Additional Profit Center

Prime Pinnacle's research/data have shown that over 15% of the Top 200 restaurant chains have a mobile café / food truck presence. That’s a tremendously strong statement as to the value of a mobile brand extension. The trend is increasing daily as many well-known chains and franchises have already jumped into the game. These include Cousins Submarines, Inc; Tasti D-Lite Frozen Yogart; Toppers Pizza; Jack in The Box; Sizzler; Red Robin; Chick-fil-A, Star Diner;The Gap; The Habit Burger & Grill; Taco Bell; Applebee’s; Dairy Queen, Subway, Qdoba, California Pizza Kitchen, Carl’s Jr.; In-N-Out Burger, Fatburger; Grandolfo’s New York Delicatessen; Banna-Stow’s Crepes & Coffee; and more.

The restaurant industry is highly competitive and establishing and maintaining brand loyalty and recognition early is key.

The chain restaurants/franchises are aware that the cost to buy/build a food truck pales in comparison compared to opening a brick-and-mortar store, with much higher profit margins. Stein stated, "Food trucks serve as mobile billboards as well which is very enticing to the franchise/chain owners as they can spend between $50,000 - $200,000 + per month on advertising alone. With a mobile food truck their visibility increases exponentially."

And one food truck manufacturer has begun to see the feasting begin to gain market share. “The food truck industry is here to stay and will be growing by leaps and bounds in order to keep up and meet consumer demand. With that more evident now than ever, small to large chain restaurants/franchises are jumping on board and moving their brands out into main stream and rural America,” Says Mr. Stein. “It’s an exciting thing to watch.”

Prestige Food Trucks builds, sells, buys, repairs, rehabs, finances, leases and rents premium quality food trucks/mobile cafes & trailers to a wide range of clientele from sole-proprietors to nationwide chains. Their commitment is to offer complete turnkey development to their customers, from building to branding to getting on the street.

More information about Prestige Food Trucks is available online at http://www.prestigefoodtrucks.com.

Financial capital for Prestige Food Trucks is provided by Prime Pinnacle, LLC, a private investment firm. Prime Pinnacle focuses on alternative capital investments in well-secured PPMs (private placement memorandums) as well as financial investments in small to medium sized companies. Prime Pinnacle’s philosophy is to provide members with capital preservation and growth through a well-designed business plan, capable management, effective cost control program, significant earning capacity and solid debt management.

They are looking for professionals to strengthen their IT security. The CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) is known globally as the "The World's Most Advanced and Comprehensive Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing Program" available in the industry today. The goal of this course is to help the attendee master an ethical hacking methodology that can be used in a penetration testing or ethical hacking situation.

Steviva Brands Adds SteviaSweet RA98 (TM). All-natural, GMO-free sweetener is sweetest, most highly concentrated in stevia extract line

In response to increased customer demand, Steviva Brands, Inc., one of the world\'s leading manufacturers and distributors of stevia-based sweeteners and other bulk-ingredient sweeteners, has introduced SteviaSweet RA98TM, the sweetest and most highly concentrated product in its stevia extract line.

SteviaSweet RA98 contains 98% minimum Rebaudioside A (Reb A), derived from the South American Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant, which has intense sweetness and a superlative flavor --with minimal caloric contribution. The high levels of Reb A sweeten --approximately 300 times sweeter than sucrose --with minimal aftertaste.

Processing further enhances flavor. Steviva Brands' products are uniquely water-extracted so there is no petro-chemical residue, a particularly important processing method when making a claim or implying a product is natural.

  

Zero calorie, Stevia Sweet RA98 is designed to replace sucrose as well as chemically-based sweeteners in a wide range of food applications, such as soft drinks, cereals, snacks, desserts such as ice cream, confectionery products, and jams and jellies.

"The flavor of SteviaSweet RA98 is a sharper sweet profile in comparison to the softer, smoother profile of our SteviaSweet RA 95/60," said Thom King, president, Steviva Brands, Inc. "We are really proud of the purity of this product. It is what customers have been demanding since RebA has been made a standard for stevia sweeteners."

Stevia Sweet RA98 is sourced solely from the extract from the Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant, which is accepted by The European Food Safety Authority. All Steviva Brands' products are certified GMO free, pesticide free, petrochemical free, Kosher, Halal and gluten free.

For more information about SteviaSweet RA98, please contact Thom King at (310) 455-9876, thom.king@steviva.com or visit http://www.steviva.com.

Mobile Coupons Guaranteed Better Redeemed Rate with Parallel 6 Captive Reach Mobile Technology for Grocery and Retail

To address the need for redeeming mobile coupons, Parallel 6 has created Captive Reach Enterprise Mobile Technology Platform 10.3.0 for Grocery and Retail. The platform is complete with features such as geolocation, push notifications, and customized grocery lists which offers grocery and retail businesses a mobile strategy to increase mobile coupon redemption, increase customer retention and increase customer loyalty.

US mobile coupon users will increase to over 50 million by 2014 because more and more people are utilizing smartphones. To anticipate the vantage of redeeming mobile coupons, Parallel 6, an enterprise mobile technology company, has created Captive Reach Enterprise Mobile Technology Platform 10.3.0 for Grocery and Retail. The platform prepares grocery and retail businesses with a mobile strategy to increase mobile coupon redemption and capture the attention of its users to turn them into loyal customers.

Captive Reach’s geolocation feature alerts customers when they walk on-site, sharing special offers and promotions specific to their brand. Imagine five of those coupon items aren’t already on the customer’s grocery list, but the mobile coupons have enticed them enough to purchase. Customers find those five items that they originally thought they didn’t want to buy, but actually do want to buy. They put those items into their basket for checkout. And instead of fumbling through paper-clipped coupons, the platform’s ability to integrate into the brand’s customer loyalty program allows the customer to easily scan their mobile phone at checkout or click on “redeem now” before they even get to the line.

“A lot of households don’t even bother sorting through their stacks of grocery store coupons stuffed into their mailboxes. But how easy and efficient would it be to see, shop, and redeem those coupons through a mobile device?” asks David Turner, CEO and President of Parallel 6. “We’ve designed Captive Reach with both the customer and the brand in mind. Customers get a much better shopping experience, knowing their grocery deals are easily accessible through the mobile app. In turn, powerful Market Basket and Loyalty Based insights track the effectiveness of a brand’s coupons so they truly understand the ratio between viewed and redeemed coupons to ultimately increase and optimize revenue for the store.”

Grocery and retail businesses that utilize the mobile technology of Captive Reach have the ability to reach their loyal customers and create new ones through the power of their mobile device. User-friendly features such as customized grocery lists created directly through the app helps increase profitability store-by-store. In addition, leveraging push alerts can influence consumers when they are on or near-site, thus transitioning a cherry picker (a customer who chooses a grocery store based upon enticing deals) into a consistent loyal customer, all the while increasing the market basket size at checkout.

Mobile apps backed by Captive Reach for Grocery and Retail can also be easily programed with the brand’s backend system to integrate into loyalty, pricing, promotion, markdown and coupon systems as well as sync with customer reward programs and other incentive options.

About Parallel 6:
Parallel 6, a creative enterprise mobile technology company, is the creator of Captive Reach, an all-encompassing enterprise mobile platform. Captive Reach influences consumer behavior, enhances brand recognition and builds strong client-customer relationships. With mcommerce, geo-located content management, pocket insights, gamification, image recognition, and augmented reality, Captive Reach is the mobile strategy that allows brands to engage and activate their best consumers through the palm of their hand. Parallel 6 serves a wide array of B2B and B2C companies including retailers, daily deal companies, hotels, e-commerce, publishers and professional service firms around the globe. The firm is based in San Diego with development offices in Mexico, Ukraine, and China. For more information, visit http://www.parallel6.com.
