Make Money OnlineBar Stools are the Best Way to Spend Tax Refund? Really?

Bar Stools are the Best Way to Spend Tax Refund… Really?













San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 17, 2012

Bar stools are likely not the first thing that come to mind when thinking of filing tax returns and receiving a refund in the coming weeks. However, a bar stool is more in reach than expected.

According to the IRS, the average tax refund last year was just over $ 3,000 dollars last year. Jessica Peterson, a staff member at the company said, “After we read this factoid, we wanted to calculated what you could get from our online store for that. After some examination, we realized that you could furnish your whole kitchen and still have money left over for your IRA or your vacation fund.”

“Our most popular bar stools run about $ 200 dollars. The typical order is 4 – 6 stools. On our site shipping is free, regardless of the size of the order. So, at a minimum you’ve got $ 1,500 – $ 2,000 left over. That’s almost half a years IRA contribution, or a good start to your vacation fund! Even if you went with some of our most exclusive stools, that run around $ 400 – $ 500 a piece, you’d still have money left over.”

“While people may not immediately think of barstools when they think of tax refund, we think it makes perfect sense. They last forever, and for that one time investment, you get years and years of practical value. What better place to do your tax return next year than on a casual, but stylish bar stool?

The company reports that customers they’ve mentioned this idea too were tickled as well as intrigued and several reported an interest in adding to their stool collection once their refund arrives.

Boomi Wins Best of SaaS Showplace Award

Boomi Wins Best of SaaS Showplace Award











Wellesley, MA (PRWEB) October 13, 2009

THINKstrategies Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that Boomi has been named the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.

The BoSS Awards program was announced in January 2009 as the latest initiative by THINKstrategies to bring attention to SaaS and cloud computing companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.

Boomi provides on-demand integration technology which connects providers and consumers of SaaS and on-premise applications via a pure SaaS integration platform-as-a-service (PaaS) without software or appliances.

Global Forex, a financial services company, has leveraged Boomi AtomSphere to connect its customer data in a web database, an on-premise database and Salesforce CRM. The process for integrating this data previously involved thousands of transactions managed by Excel spreadsheets and transferred manually between systems. Global Forex chose Boomi AtomSphere to integrate its XML files to Salesforce.com because of its ease of use and the expandability of the AtomSphere platform. Boomi’s web access gives Global Forex a 360 degree view of all integration processes from any location. This also permits Global Forex to pinpoint and quickly resolve errors within 2 – 4 hours which previously took an average of 2 weeks and approximately $ 5000/error in technical resources to fix. Boomi’s real-time analytic reports can be generated in 5 minutes compared to a full business day previously. In addition, Global Forex has reported a 95% reduction in integration maintenance costs.

It is for these reasons that Boomi has been named a Best of SaaS Showplace Award winner. A full description of the company’s winning BoSS Award submission can be found at http://www.saas-showplace.com/awardSummary.php?key=52.

“We appreciate the work that THINKstrategies does to promote the awareness of SaaS not just for technology’s sake but for the real business benefits it can deliver,” said Bob Moul, Boomi CEO. “We are pleased to receive the BoSS Award in recognition of the business value our solutions deliver to our entire community of customers and partners.”

“Today’ tough economy and changing corporate attitudes are driving greater adoption of SaaS solutions,” stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, the founder of the SaaS Showplace and Managing Director of THINKstrategies, the strategic consulting firm which conceived and administers the Showplace. “Boomi’s AtomSphere integration platform enables enterprises to ensure they can properly connect their SaaS solutions with their legacy applications and databases.”

A list of previous winners of the BoSS Awards can be found at http://www.saas-showplace.com/registerforbossaward.html.

About the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards

The BoSS Award program is an ongoing initiative to identify and promote SaaS, and ‘cloud computing’, companies which are offering on-demand solutions which are generating measurable business benefits for their customers.

BoSS awards nominations are not only accepted on an ongoing basis, but more than one winner can be awarded in each SaaS Showplace Application, Industry and Enabling Technology Supplier category.

BoSS award winners are given special designation on the SaaS Showplace, with a summary of their award-winning solution(s) and customer success story. Award winners are also recognized in the SaaS Showplace newsletter, and are able to promote their award designation on their website and in pre-approved company material.

Bulgaria?s Bansko Emerges as Best Value Ski Resort for UK Winter Sport Lovers

Bulgaria’s Bansko Emerges as Best Value Ski Resort for UK Winter Sport Lovers










(PRWeb UK) December 25, 2010

Post Office Travel Money’s latest Family Ski Resort Report has pinpointed Bulgaria’s Bansko as the best value winter resort destination for UK travellers. Offering by far the lowest prices for ski-related and day to day living costs such as cups of coffee and meals out, UK skiers visiting this destination will be pleased to find that their foreign currency stretches further than in many other resorts.

The report, researched in conjunction with Where to Ski and Snowboard, found that Eastern Europe offers the best value ski resorts for UK holidaymakers to get the most from their foreign currency. Slovenia’s Kranjska Gora was found to be the second best value resort for UK travellers’ travel money spend, which on average totalled £1,101.21 in UK holidaymakers’ travel money. This compares to Bansko’s £1,002.69 in typical travel money outlays, including a 6-day lift pass and ski/ boot hire as well as the cost of a family meal, cup of coffee and a Coca-Cola.

Alternatively, Switzerland’s Wengen resort proved to be the most expensive European destination for UK travellers to spend their foreign currency while skiing. Wengen’s ski and day to day living costs were found by the Post Office Travel Money research to be over double those of Bansko’s, at £2,015.59.

Sarah Munro, Post Office Head of Travel Money, said: “While checking foreign exchange rates and resort-swapping will help families keep a lid on ski costs, there are other ways to avoid pouring pounds down the plughole, starting by changing travel money in advance rather than getting a poor rate at the airport.”
