Brand.com Sale Sets High Watermark for 2013 Domain Acquisitions
New York, New York (PRWEB) July 11, 2013
Online domains are among the most quickly-appreciating of all commodities, and they are emerging as pivotal forms of currency in today’s increasingly-digital world. As a case in point, the domain name Brand.com recently sold for a total of almost $ 500,000—a mere fraction of its true worth—making it the single highest dollar domain sale of the year. Now, the team behind the newly-launched Brand.com has issued a new statement to the press, commenting on the thought process behind its decision to purchase the much-coveted domain.
Brand.com is an industry-leading reputation management and online brand enhancement company, devoted to providing individuals and companies alike with a complete say in how they are portrayed on the Internet. The company purchased the Brand.com domain from Chuck Pettis, VP of Marketing at MakerBot. Pettis—who is also the founder and president of BrandSolutions, Inc.—sold the Brand.com domain as part of his transition into more full-time work for MakerBot, a 3D printing company that was launched by his son in 2009, and which Pettis recently sold for hundreds of millions of dollars.
As for the buyers, the newly-christened Brand.com team was formerly known as Reputation Changer—but according to company president Michael Zammuto, the transition from Reputation Changer to Brand.com made sense on several levels. “This was an ideal opportunity for Mr. Pettis, but also for the Reputation Changer team,” Zammuto observes, in the company’s new statement to the press. “The deal worked out for Chuck because he was ready to shift his entire focus to MakerBot, and it worked out for us because we were prepared to move into a more high-traffic domain.” The gambit has paid off in a big way: Thus far, the new domain has brought the Brand.com team 300 percent more global monthly searches than its nearest competitor in the online reputation management space. “We now have a huge strategic advantage in this rapidly-growing industry,” Zammuto remarks.
“Essentially, Brand.com has catapulted itself to become the most visible firm in the online brand enhancement and reputation management industry,” Zammuto continues. The repositioning of Reputation Changer as Brand.com comes at an ideal time, as more and more high-profile individuals and companies—including Fortune 100 brands, political figures, and celebrities—are coming to recognize the importance of online reputation management.
“Our company posted 600 percent growth in 2012, and now Brand.com is on track to achieve 1000 percent growth by the end of 2013,” Zammuto says. “Much of this growth stems from the fact that online reputation management itself is becoming so important, and so hotly in-demand, with more and more big corporations and national governments seeking to control the way they are presented on the Web. Our company has proven its ability to create brand equity and to help our clients shape the way they are portrayed on the Internet.”
Zammuto also notes that the higher visibility that the company has, through the Brand.com domain, will “continue to solidify online reputation management as a central marketing and PR concern among all organizations and public figures.”
The Brand.com domain name was owned by Chuck Pettis since 1995, and he used the domain as the homepage for his own branding services firm, BrandSolutions, Inc. He listed the domain last February, for $ 500,000; the domain was ultimately acquired for a discount, but the final sale—more than $ 400,000—still qualifies it as the biggest domain purchase of the year to date. Though Brand.com was initially being sold for millions of dollars, Pettis’ recent sale of MakerBot, for $ 400 million, made him willing to part ways with the Brand.com domain for a small fraction of its real worth.
ABOUT:
Brand.com is widely recognized as the foremost online reputation management and brand enhancement firm in the world, working with individuals and organizations alike and assisting them in establishing their online authority and credibility. Heralded as the #1 online reputation management agency by TopSEOs.com and honored as a Red Herring Top 100 Company in 2013, Brand.com continues to innovate new reputation management techniques and technologies from its offices in Philadelphia. The company is equally devoted to pioneering reputation defense strategies, PR management techniques, and the development of cutting-edge technologies. The ultimate mission of Brand.com is to establish each client’s personal or corporate brand as a brand of choice.

Global Fertilizers and Agricultural Chemicals Manufacturing Industry Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 05, 2013
The Global Fertilizers and Agricultural Chemicals Manufacturing industry produces synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural chemicals. As such, it plays an essential role in ensuring that the world’s agricultural production systems are economically efficient in the short term and sustainable in the long term. According to IBISWorld Industry analyst Radia Amari, “over much of the past decade, the industry enjoyed moderate growth led by three main growth drivers: feed, food and biofuels.” Following a marked contraction in 2009, fertilizer and agrochemical demand has rebounded strongly in traditional markets and emerging markets, where food pressures have led to calls for higher agricultural productivity and crop yields. Industry production also has continued to recover from the depressed levels of 2008 and 2009, although it is still operating below installed capacity. Tight agricultural commodity markets and relatively high agricultural prices are benefiting the industry. Industry revenue is expected to grow at an annualized rate of 1.6% to $ 150.9 billion over the five years to 2013, including expected growth of 2.5% in 2013. Global debt concerns are weighing on industry performance. At the same time, the industry will continue to contend with a changing climate, food security issues and establishing a green economy.
Over the next five years, the industry’s performance will hinge on the strong demand growth expected from emerging economies in Asia and the Americas, and new industry operations in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Farmers will increasingly demand industry products as farm production increases. “Prices will also grow over the next five years, which will further expand industry revenue,” says Amari. Any continued volatility in energy and agricultural commodity prices will also affect the industry. Within the pesticide segment, variables like the flow-on effects of biotechnology developments and the growing sizes of the areas dedicated to genetically modified (GM) crops will impact industry demand. From 2013 to 2018, industry revenue is forecast to grow. The industry is expected to display a lower degree of volatility, but demand and supply imbalances will influence industry performance on a year-to-year basis.
The Global Fertilizers and Agricultural Chemicals Manufacturing industry has a low level of market share concentration. However, concentration levels will vary between product segments. For example, within the pesticide segment, the top six producers (i.e. BASF, Bayer, Dow, DuPont, Monsanto and Syngenta) are estimated to supply the majority of the global market. Within the fertilizer product segment, there are 10 companies that dominate: PotashCorp, Mosaic, Uralkali, Belaruskali, OCP, Yara, CF Industries, Israel Chemicals, Agrium and the K&S Group. Industry consolidation has increased over the past years as an increasing number of operators have merged or been acquired. For example, BASF acquired the Sorex Group in 2008.

Kentucky Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer Mat A. Slechter Comments On Fatal Head-On Collision Caused By Wrong-Way Driver
Louisville, KY (PRWEB) July 05, 2013
Louisville, Kentucky police recently filed murder charges against a man who was allegedly drunk when he drove the wrong way on I-265 and killed a man driving the right direction, an extremely serious accident that demands an extremely strong reaction, according to personal injury lawyer Mat A. Slechter of the Slechter Law Firm, PLLC, in Louisville, KY.
“Drinking and driving sadly remains one of the most common – and serious – types of car accidents in America,” said Slechter, who represents people injured in accidents and families whose loved ones were killed in accidents. “The dangers of drunk driving have been well documented for many decades. Unfortunately, many people still don’t seem to get the message. When people drink and drive, the consequences can often be deadly.”
The fatal accident on I-265 occurred on June 6 at 4:30 a.m. near the Shelbyville Road exit, according to WHAS 11 News (“1 killed in crash involving wrong-way driver,” June 7, 2013). According to police interviewed by WHAS 11 News, David Batts, 34, was driving a white truck in the wrong direction in the southbound lane when he hit a car driving the right direction. The crash caused the vehicle driving the right direction to flip onto its roof.
Police charged Batts with murder, driving under the influence of alcohol and driving on a suspended license, WHAS 11 News reported. According to the arrest report as reported on by WHAS 11 News, Batts admitted to drinking at the Hikes Point Lounge before the auto accident. Batts had a .161 Blood Alcohol Level at the time of the accident.
“Drunk driving accidents can have tragic consequences,” Slechter said. “In general, if you are injured, you should seek medical attention immediately and continue to follow-up with your doctor. Your injuries could worsen, and your visits to your doctor may prove valuable in a personal injury lawsuit. If you lost a loved one in a drunk driving accident, you may need the help of an experienced attorney to protect your rights. While no money can truly compensate for the loss of someone, families can be financially devastated due to the negligence of drunk drivers.
“A personal injury lawyer can help pursue compensation and closure for victims of negligence. The attorney also can help send a strong message that reckless behavior will not be tolerated in our society,” Slechter said.

Homes for Rent in Lake Magdalene, FL Now Posted Online by PLB Investment Group
Lake Magdalene, Florida (PRWEB) July 01, 2013
Locating available property for rent in populous cities is one struggle for individuals and families with immediate need for housing. One local company is now helping individuals by posting its homes for rent in Lake Magdalene, FL online. The PLB Investment Group created its website at http://realestatetampaflorida.com to offer easy access to review the current homes available for rent online. This growing portfolio of homes is designed to provide immediate availability for housing inside the Tampa, FL area.
Renting property now provides one method of housing for many people. Locating properties for rent using real estate agents or other professionals can be one challenge to established or new residents. The credit requirements can be one blockade that could prevent a person from establishing a lease agreement for an available property.
The company owned homes that are published online by the PLB Group are available to rent through a series of new financing programs that are designed for people with less than average credit ratings.
“We own the homes that we rent and sell to consumers,” a source from the PLB Investment Group added. The methods to creatively finance a person with a lower credit rating are proving to be alternatives to landlords or other methods of acquiring a monthly rental contract. Credit issues are a common reason for denial of many rental applications in the U.S.
“Our homes are internally financed and our lease agreements are customized for each individual,” the source added. These updated services were created this year due to the larger than average demand for leased properties in the Southern part of Florida.
The properties listed for rent online are in addition to services that have been designed to help sellers of real estate. The for sale by owner process is one of the most complicated to learn for homeowners searching for a way to sell homes without complications.
A series of services has been launched this year that directly help homeowners experiencing extraordinary circumstances to sell a property without restrictions or blockades. Company application forms now exist on the website that can be completed online and submitted to company housing specialists to expedite consumer services.
About PLB Investment Group
The PLB Investment Group has established is presence in the Tampa, Florida area as an alternative to real estate agents or realtors to complete sale or lease to own transactions. A group of company investors handles all of the buying and selling that takes place in the local area. A redesigned company website is now a source of information for non-realtor transactions to the public. The PLB Investment Group company currently purchases up to 10 properties in the local area each month to expand its growing portfolio of homes available for rent or purchase by consumers.
