Cint Partners with Publishers Clearing House for Respondent Supply

Cint

Cint (STO:CINT), a global technology leader in digital insights gathering, announces its partnership with direct-to-consumer, digital entertainment company Publishers Clearing House (PCH), representing a major innovation in the area of respondent panels and data supply. The partnership, which originated with research technology firm Lucid prior to Cint’s acquisition of Lucid, comes at a time when the value of customer data is rapidly evolving; companies across many different industries are reimagining the relationship they have with their communities. “At Publishers Clearing House, we’re all about fostering community,” said Smriti Sharma, Head of Consumer Insights at Publishers Clearing House. “And within that community, we knew there was more that we could be doing to effectively leverage the strong relationship we have with consumers. Traditional sweepstakes is our business and at the heart of that is a loyal community that we’ve grown over the years. Our work with Cint has allowed us to explore what other value we could provide to our community and how we could give our community a bigger voice in our society through their participation in surveys.” As a result of the partnership, Publishers Clearing House began to realize that its community of 40 million plus was interested in responding to surveys and offering their opinions to a company with whom they have had a longstanding relationship. Over the past two years, PCH has provided quality users and has continuously beat industry standards for survey response quality across metrics like negative reconciliations and engagement. In fact, PCH has displayed three times more engagement than the industry average. All this demonstrates the loyalty and strength of the PCH community and the quality of the consented data their community is providing researchers. The partnership with Publishers Clearing House sparked impressive categorical growth for Cint data supplier partnerships across market verticals in 2022, including mobile gaming. “We’re at a unique inflection point in the market research industry where the importance and value of the consumer’s voice is evolving at an unprecedented rate,” said Matt Hynes, Executive Vice President Global Supply at Cint. “Consumers are becoming more comfortable with consenting to share their insights, so long as they trust the organization with whom they share it. Now—as companies that curate communities face these changes —it is important to encourage them to think differently about the value and data within their communities. One goal at Cint is to encourage companies to think outside the norm, leverage data to unlock new opportunities, and provide a place where the opinions of their community members are heard.” About Cint Cint is a global provider of research technology. Our platform enables brands, researchers, academics, or anyone with a question, to connect with a global network of over 290 million high-quality and engaged respondents. Panel providers, mobile gaming apps, loyalty associations, or anyone with an online community, partner with Cint to monetise their userbase through surveys that complement the user experience.

XLRE Opens the Real Estate Door for Investors

Select Sector SPDR

A decision was made in 2015 by S&P and MSCI to split the GICS (Global Industry Classification Standard) financial sector into two new sectors: financials and real estate. The creation of a new sector, of course, spurred new real estate exchange-traded funds such as the Real Estate Select Sector SPDR (XLRE). Due to this update, the sibling fund, Financials Select Sector SPDR Fund XLF, spun off its real estate exposure to this fund, so the overlap in holdings is greatly reduced. XLRE represents the new real estate sector, although mortgage REITs remain in the financial sector. Like the rest of the Sector SPDR ETF suite, XLRE holds a concentrated portfolio of mostly large caps. The index is rebalanced quarterly to meet asset diversification requirements. XLRE tracks a market-cap-weighted index of REITs and real estate stocks, excluding mortgage REITs, from the S&P 500. The ETF has $4.3 billion in assets under management and an investor-friendly expense ratio of 0.10%*. Looking Under XLRE’s Hood** The fund has 30 holdings. Prologis is the top holding at 13.60%. This real estate investment trust is the largest industrial real estate company in the world, operating in 19 countries across North America. The industrial holdings of Prologis are dominant properties in their respective markets. Coming in second in terms of holdings is American Tower, at 10.16%. This REIT is an owner and operator of wireless and broadcast communications infrastructure in several countries worldwide. Also included in the top five holdings is Equinix (8.16%), which is an American multinational company that specializes in Internet connection and data centers. The fourth-largest holding is Crown Castle (5.80%), which is a real estate investment trust and provider of shared communications infrastructure in the United States. The company’s network includes cellphone towers, fiber supporting small cells, and fiber solutions. It has 100 offices nationwide. Public Storage is the fifth-largest holding at 5.30% and it is also run as a REIT. It is the largest brand of self-storage services in the U.S. There are more than 2,200 Public Storage self-storage locations in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. It also owns 42% of an office parks subsidiary, sells packing supplies, and provides other services. Easy, Cheap, and Diverse Access Together, XLRE’s top holdings represent more than 40% of the fund, using a mix of different real estate classes. XLRE offers investors a diverse real estate portfolio covering the leading REITs in the U.S. REITs attempt to deliver attractive total returns to investors by combining dividend yield and the potential for capital gains. Having this ability to easily tap into these different real estate asset classes at a reasonable cost is what the XLRE exchange-traded fund offers advisors and investors.

Minuteman Press in Nashville, TN Completes Exterior Full-Wrap Rebranding of the Iconic Grand Ole Opry House Music Venue

Minuteman Press International Inc

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Grand Ole Opry House, owned by Ryman Hospitality Partners, is one of the most legendary music venues in the USA. Thanks to Minuteman Press franchise owner John Taylor and his team at Minuteman Press in Nashville, the face of the Grand Ole Opry House now looks as good on the outside as the music sounds on the inside. What started out as a sales call and business cards order ten years ago has evolved into a trusted branding partnership between Minuteman Press in Nashville and Ryman Hospitality, and the result of that partnership includes incredible projects like this one – the full-wrap exterior rebranding of the Grand Ole Opry House. Minuteman Press in Nashville is located at 415 Spence Lane, Nashville, TN 37210. John Taylor has owned the business since January of 2014 and is a member of the President’s Club for top performers across the Minuteman Press franchise system. John shares key details on working to complete this huge project on such an iconic venue. How did the project with the Grand Ole Opry come about? John Taylor: “We acquired them as a client about ten years ago. It originated with a sales call at the original The Ryman Auditorium, in downtown Nashville. The first order was a few sets of business cards. Their parent company is Ryman Hospitality. Working inward through the marketing department at Ryman Hospitality, a relationship developed. They have a lot of printers, but we stayed in touch, cross-selling where possible. Ultimately, we set them up on an online portal ordering system for their printed collateral and admin items for their various brands. We make it a habit to deliver all prospects our "Portfolio Thumb-drive". It is branded Minuteman Press and goes to them pre-loaded with our most impressive projects in categorized folders. That led to us becoming one of their trusted branding partners, I would like to say their preferred branding partner. We've done projects from Nashville to New York City for them as they open new venues.” What specifically did you do for this project? John Taylor: “We have done multiple projects at the Grand Ole Opry House. Regarding this project: It is an extraordinary surface, in that it is stamped concrete. It is made to look like a ‘rough-cut cedar’ wooden surface, with deep woodgrain and over a half-inch depth difference between the faux planks. There are two installation processes in this type of project. One is to install and register the panels together (58" wide panels). The second process is to heat and press the vinyl into the grain and contours with a heat gun/torch and foam hand roller, roughly 4" at a time. We measured, scaled and templated the whole project. We printed the vinyl on an HP 360 Latex printer, then laminated the vinyl on a GBC roll laminator (3M IJ-480 Vinyl with 3M 8520 Matte Overlaminate). We used our 55' boom truck and a rented 45' boom lift to install. The first team and truck would hang and register the vinyl. The second lift would have a heat gun, a torch, and roller to get into the grain, and a single installer with very tired arms. We blocked off an area to work every morning so tours could still safely operate every 30-60 minutes. We installed in close coordination with the security team every day and evening to avoid periodic live shows in the evenings altogether." What was the timetable / what did it take to complete the project? John Taylor: “The exterior, as all large branding projects do, began with an intense set of measurements and a write-up of all inclusions and challenges with the surface(s). We then created an Illustrator template for their art department, advising best practices and highlighting any areas to which they should pay special attention during design. The timetable was roughly 7 weeks, synopsized below: We surveyed the first week and provided them a template for artwork technicals and construction. It took them 2-3 weeks to develop art, get the individual artists' approvals, and the necessary internal management approvals. We removed the old banners and aluminum hardware, as well as prepped/cleaned the building during that period. I asked for 7-10 days to produce the vinyl. It took about a week to print, laminate and cut. We should have been able to install it in roughly one week with a crew of three. It ended up taking two weeks since the Grand Ole Opry has shows every couple of days, which limited our time (we had to be packed up and out of the way by 3 pm). The weather was also a factor." TIME LAPSE VIDEO: Full-wrap rebranding of the face of the Grand Ole Opry House – Spring 2023 – Minuteman Press, Nashville: How happy are you with the completed project? What has been the feedback you’ve received? John Taylor: “I'm extremely happy with it. I really am humbled and honored to be given the opportunity. Now, for the less-than-humble perspective; it was an intense scope of work... and we got the job done! We've had only positive feedback about this installation and people are loving the new face of the Grand Ole Opry House. My favorite reaction was from a security guard that said, ‘I haven't seen this many people stop and have their pictures taken in front of the building in years and years!’. He's been there over 15 years, so that was so gratifying to hear him say that.” John concludes, “To have our hard work appreciated, especially on such a large-scale project, it’s just a great feeling of accomplishment.” For Minuteman Press products and services and to find your local Minuteman Press, visit https://minuteman.com.

Comcast Business Partners With Uchiwa Ramen Restaurant to Deliver an Elevated Dining Experience

Comcast California

Comcast Business today announced that it is providing Uchiwa Ramen Restaurant (Uchiwa Ramen) with internet and cellular backup solutions at both of the business’ locations. The combination of these two solutions creates a reliable technology network that helps to simplify the management of overall operations as well as employees’ daily tasks, ultimately contributing to a more seamless customer experience when dining. With Comcast Business Internet and Connection Pro, Uchiwa Ramen co-owner Kevin Fong and his team can manage operations at restaurants located in San Rafael and Emeryville with the confidence that their technology will help keep things running smoothly. To keep orders coming in, and customers happy, it is critical that the Uchiwa Ramen team has a strong internet connection – the business’ point of sale (POS) system relies on its network to process dine-in and take-out orders, and Fong regularly receives important documents from his vendors over email. With Comcast Business Internet and Connection Pro, not only does Uchiwa Ramen have a reliable, fast internet connection, they also have the backup solution in place to help the network stay up and running in the face of outages. Fong is dedicated to ensuring that the food, customer service and staffing of Uchiwa Ramen remains consistent across his two locations, which is why choosing an affordable, reliable technology provider was such an important commitment. “With two different locations, in two completely different markets, it has been a relief to have a technology network from Comcast Business,” said Kevin Fong, co-founder of Uchiwa Ramen. “When it comes to reliability, service and bandwidth, Comcast Business has been a reliable partner to work with. It was a no-brainer to work with them.” When Uchiwa Ramen opened its first location in San Rafael in 2014, there were no other dedicated ramen restaurants in the county. As restaurant guests increasingly sought out more healthier food options, Fong and his team delivered with their take on traditional ramen dishes as well as Asian fusion food – both of which use all-natural ingredients and are low in fat. Following the success of the first location, Fong opened a second store at a mall in Emeryville. With this second location, he hopes to continue to raise awareness for Asian cuisine, and experiment with all-new fusion dishes. “Restaurants like Uchiwa Ramen are the lifeblood of our communities, bringing variety and vitality to our local storefronts and introducing us to delicious, unique dishes that we may not have ever tried on our own,” said Jacob Mitchell, vice president of sales and marketing for Comcast’s California Region. “We are proud to provide Uchiwa Ramen with these technology solutions, as they support such a trailblazing business that not only serves great food, but is dedicated to educating the public on the food and its origin.” About Comcast Business Comcast Business offers a suite of Connectivity, Communications, Networking, Cybersecurity, Wireless, and Managed Solutions to help organizations of different sizes prepare for what’s next. Powered by the nation’s largest Gig-speed broadband network, and backed by 24/7 customer support, Comcast Business is the nation’s largest cable provider to small and mid-size businesses and one of the leading service providers to the Enterprise market.
