Introducing Meetn as an alternative to Zoom and other major online meeting platforms, giving the big players a run for their money

Announcing the launch of the latest online meeting platform which has the potential to greatly transform the virtual meeting market. The CEO of Meetn, Rick Raddatz, informed Ryan Frazier of 9NEWS (KUSA) of Meetn’s goal to solve most of the connectivity problems that online meeting platform users experience with other popular meeting apps.

Recent regulations of businesses and the advancement in working environments have given rise to the introduction of new and quickly changing technologies to conduct online meetings, conferences, and other engagements to connect company staff and customers, as written in an article reviewing meeting platforms. Platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet are used by various companies to organize online modes of communication to keep employees updated. Meetn plans to join in the ranks of those popular services.

Whether using Zoom, Teams, or Meetn; all virtual meeting platforms have their own unique style and target market. Meetn is focusing on simplicity, ease-of-use, and is targeting small business owners who need a reliable and lower cost platform.

While Meetn is a fairly new service, it’s geared to facilitate remote workers, online jobs, promote online meetings, and enables the user to have an alternate way to communicate instead of using Zoom, while keeping-up with the features of the big players like Zoom. 

The service and features that Meetn has and continues to produce are competitive and designed to be user friendly. The Meetn team continues to work at the improvement and functioning of the video quality, audio quality, chat, high-capacity meetings, connection compatibility, with live customer service, international dialing, and with many other loved features to be released shortly. Every feature is designed with the requirements and usefulness of the end-user in mind.

Meetn also understands the demands of the market well and therefore is taking security and privacy seriously. A report by teamblind.com suggests that 35% of online meeting users are afraid that their private information has been compromised on other platforms. To maintain the credibility and reliability of the platform, Meetn is taking users’ private information seriously and is protecting it.

With this announcement of Meetn launching its industry disruption platform, online meeting users will be given a solid alternative to the big players. While Meetn offers a competitive range of services and features at affordable prices, users are encouraged to enter Meetn’s early access before their upcoming larger launch date.

The new online meeting platform, Meetn, is securing its spot as a true competitor of Zoom based on its performance, features, and options

The launch of Meetn’s online meeting platform was recently announced. Meetn is gaining traction and importance as it provides a feature-rich user experience that is simple and intuitive to use, in comparison to the alternative of Zoom and other major platforms.

The news of Meetn’s app is gaining attention from a variety of users in different markets, allowing Meetn’s developers to test the platform in a variety of ways. While Zoom and other online meeting platforms are being used by various businesses, companies, and educational institution, Meetn’s focus is on small businesses, helping them find an affordable alternative.

While Meetn is still relatively new, it offers all the significant features that other prominent platforms have at a competitive price-point and a dedicated support team. As Meetn attracts attention, they are allowing some users early access at a lower price-point, with the aim that early adopters will help spread the word.

Meetn is considered a comparable alternative to Zoom because of its features, cost-effective services, and reliable performance. Meetn encourages its users to take advantage of their lower plan or trial option before its larger launch occurs.

Since Zoom and Meetn are being compared to each other because of their similarity and feature capability, users are encouraged to test both platforms out to ensure the apps meet their expectations. While their feature lists are comparable, users will notice their price-points are not. Since Meetn’s target market is small businesses, the price-point and the needs of those businesses must match their app’s offering.

As time progresses and users turn to their chosen virtual meeting platform, the Meetn vs Zoom debate will continue and features will get fleshed out, more advanced, and pricing will change. Because of Meetn’s dedication to quality and customer experience, Meetn is ready for this ongoing challenge.

Innovative Chinese Takeaway JVDE PVRK Announces UK Relocation and Metaverse Project

Owners of Chinese takeaway JVDE PVRK, James Cheung and Debbie Hsu have announced the relocation of the business to the city of Birmingham. All business operations of the Chinese takeaway will hence be carried out from a new location in the West Midlands city. 

With a mindset that came out of social media, JVDE PVRK (pronounced Jade Park) combines elements of content creation, fashion, and food within the concept of their business. The company’s founders have a deep honor of Chinese tradition, but none the less, they are working hard to change an old traditional trade to a modern takeaway.

JVDE PVRK promises to continue serving customers with their savory Chinese food that tastes great every single time. Customers will still enjoy online ordering services with options of pick-up or delivery from the new location. The Chinese takeaway is also still available on UberEats and JustEat. 

JVDE PVRK was unfortunately forced to close down business operations in Wirral on the 9th of June 2022, as a result of complications with the lease of their now former building. This is the development that led to the previously mentioned decision by the founders, to relocate all business operations of the Chinese takeaway to a new location in the city of Birmingham. In addiction to this, they have also stated their plans to open more JVDE PVRK branches by 2023 to meet the growing demands of their classic Chinese takeaway. 

As a business that started during the challenging period of Covid-19, JVDE PVRK has grown to be well versed with challenges and sees this new one as an opportunity for a big and better comeback. 

Proving once more to be a pacesetter in the traditional Chinese takeaway business, JVDE PVRK has also announced that they’ll be expanding their takeaway services into the metaverse. With the rise of digital commerce, JVDE PVRK continues to break uncharted grounds in the Chinese takeaway trade by integrating current technologies into their services, taking their iconic golden box noodles into the virtual space to further meet the demands of their huge follower base (Instagram: @jvdepvrk @debbiehsu_bee / Twitter: @jvde_sauce @yummycrypoto. 

This innovative development by JVDE PVRK further aims to make their Chinese takeaway a more fun an unforgettable experience for their customers. Customers will not only enjoy delicious Chinese food, but also get a thrilling virtual world experience. The metaverse project will be an anime style NFT with similarities in aesthetics to the art posted on their social media. 

JVDE PVRK will also start accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment for food. This is yet another step by JVDE PVRK towards bridging the gap between the traditional Chinese takeaway business and innovative technology for businesses and cementing their place as pioneers in the long-established takeaway trade. As cryptocurrencies are becoming a more popular legal tender, JVDE PVRK is adding crypto payment to provide more options for their customers for ease of transactional service. They have partnered with QWYPTO a web3 team that specialises in crypto, NFTs and web3 to deliver their crypto and metaverse journey.

JVDE PVRK Chinese takeaway is committed to providing excellent and consistent service for their customers with all the aforementioned developments.

• First company to create the Idea to apply NFTs to Vehicles and coin the term, Auto Smart Loans

• Patent filed in 2020

• 120 Dealerships across the United States Signed Agreements to Offer Plensy’s Alternative Lending Solution to its Customers

• Built a more streamlined and modern Dealer Management & Inventory System 2019-2020

• Auto Finance Innovation Award Nominee – Sam Errama, Founder & CEO

• Inspirational Woman of the Year Los Angeles Times – Brandi Kolosky, Founding Member & CGO

• Completed Friends & Family Round with $150k raised 

• Tested 3.3m data points showing a 97% efficacy of predicting default by accurately reflecting the customers’ true ability to pay a loan and their actual creditworthiness

“We are extremely excited about the opportunity to provide a superior value proposition to the consumers and dealerships while providing a significant return for our investors,” Miami Resident and Floridian, Chief Growth Officer / Founding Member of Plensy™, Brandi Kolosky, states. “The vote of confidence and eagerness from everyone over the past year shows that Plensy™ is needed now more than ever to provide a more accurate and faster solution with less risk for the credit and lending industry. We have already made significant headway on our target well before ‘going live’ on Wefunder and look forward to connecting with more fans of Plensy™!” 

Erik Day, VP & CFO of the Warren Henry Auto Group’s 14 South Florida dealerships, clarified on the 2021 CXAuto Conference panel with Ms. Kolosky at 1:34:30, “absolutely Plensy™ is needed….we are missing out on a lot of customers due to many factors…” 

“We’ve created statistical models and a loan approval prediction to increase the likelihood of a consumer qualifying while reducing missed payments and default rates. We’re employing a logistic regression model with real-time accurate data analytics and smart algorithms to assess a buyer’s true ability to pay, while our predictive analytics algorithm allows us to determine individual interest rates.”, said Plensy’s Founder, Sam Errama.

Plensy™ uses the blockchain to ensure that the above data is accurate, secure, and transparent by combining data points and risk mitigators such as rental history, gig economy income, additional assets, and more.

OnlineBusiness.com Explains the Importance of a Good Company Name: A Lesson from Meta

New York, NY – OnlineBusiness.com, a digital marketplace for premium domains and starter sites, shared valuable insights on why choosing the right name is crucial for the future of every business. With Facebook’s recent rebranding to Meta, businesses can learn why getting the right ideas for naming a company is significant.

Taking a valuable lesson from Meta, companies should focus on getting the right name that reflects their brand because it can impact the way they do business today and in the future. 

The rebranding comes after Meta was involved in a slew of controversies in recent months. By changing its name, Meta not only seemed to change the narrative of their company, but they made a significant pivot that turned them into the face of the ‘metaverse’ movement positioning themselves in this new potentially billion-dollar industry to be the leader in it.

Every business at some point, new or old, should invest time and attention in looking at the name of their company.  Companies also should consider examining their marketing strategies and plans at certain intervals, and ensure that their brand name has or will not put limitations on their business, and if it does consider any pivots just like Meta successfully accomplished. 

“It’s always a good exercise to reexamine a company’s one, three, and five-year plan to ensure it still aligns with today’s business practices and landscape. It can help ensure you are on the right path or allow you to revise any plans that were previously part of that business strategy,” said Michael Santiago, founder of OnlineBusiness.com

The right name confirms a brand’s identity and is crucial for business growth and brand perception. A lot of companies commit the mistake of naming their companies. Here are significant benefits why companies should prioritize their domain names:

  • Generating more business. Choosing a name that matches your branding makes it easier for people to find you. Using relevant keywords can increase click-through rates and website traffic, which are also beneficial to your revenue.
  • Building your brand. The right domain builds your brand because it boosts brand awareness. 
  • Establishing authority. It takes years for a business to establish its place in the industry. However, the right domain name can help build your credibility and authority easily. It also places you as a top player in your niche. 
  • Solid investment. The value of a domain grows over time with the right marketing and strategies in place. 

OnlineBusiness.com believes that every online business should start with the best domain name. The founder has been involved in buying and selling domain names and websites since the late 1990s.  the company is helping startups and industry leaders dominate their industry and discover business opportunities by making sure they get the right name for their brand. By getting the best domain, the team believes that every brand can create its own success story.

OnlineBusiness.com Highlights Why The Right Domain Starts with The Right Company Name

New York, NY – OnlineBusiness.com, a digital marketplace for premium domains and starter websites, shares insights on why the right domain begins with the right business name. As the pandemic continues to linger and take a toll on various industries on a global scale,  OnlineBusiness.com reports on the importance of the step of obtaining the best ideas for naming a company and how a brand name can impact the future of a business.

Newly established companies should understand that getting off on the right foot means ensuring the best brand name for their business because it can impact their sales directly and how their audience will perceive them. In a study conducted by Stackla, 86 percent of consumers said that authenticity is a major factor when it comes to brands they like and support. It is the beginning stage in which the authenticity of one’s company starts to grow organically.

According to Michael Santiago, founder of OnlineBusiness.com, getting the right brand name is essential to having the best domain name right from the start. It is an important investment for every business because a solid brand name and domain increase value over time. 

”It’s in your best interest to find a suitable company name in which you know you can acquire the matching .com domain. For example, if you are looking to name your company ‘Hello Green’, ensure that the domain name HelloGreen.com is available for purchase and is within your budget. Doing so locks in your company as the one and only ‘Hello Green’ in the space that consumers will remember,” said Michael Santiago, founder of OnlineBusiness.com.

Moreover, domain names are as significant as the company name and in many cases are the company name. The right domain name will make it easy to connect customers and help build business identity and maximize online presence with their company branding. 

Here are some key ideas in choosing the right domain after deciding on the best company name for your business:

  • When possible, use the .com URL extension. Dotcom extension is the most trusted domain extension for users. Companies using this URL extension in their domains are considered to be more credible and authoritative in their niche right off the bat.
  • Short domains are better. Keeping domains short is advisable since it makes the names easier to remember. 
  • Use keyword-based domains. Using keywords at the start of the domain is good for your search engine ranking. This could give you a headstart in your SEO marketing and it might just mean that it will improve a  site’s click-through rates and traffic.
  • Drop the numbers and hyphens. Domain names should be easy to spell and pronounce, and this can only be achieved if a domain name avoids numbers and hyphens.
  • Be brandable. Companies using brandable domains stand out easily. They are also unique and good for brand recognition. Being brandable is part of one’s whole marketing strategy and a plan should be in place to brand the company name selected.

OnlineBusiness.com believes that every online business should start with the best domain name. The founder and team have been involved in buying and selling domain names since the late 1990s. Now, the company is helping startups and industry leaders dominate their industry and discover business opportunities by making sure they get the right name for their brand. By getting the best domain, the team believes that every brand can create its own success story.

OnlineBusiness.com Reports 5 Business Trends to Adopt in 2022

New York, NY – OnlineBusiness.com, a reputable marketplace for premium domains and starter sites, predicts the top business trends that will help companies compete more effectively in 2022. As the global pandemic disrupted industries for the past couple of years, brands must reconsider their operations by embracing new growth opportunities occurring with technology and within society. OnlineBusiness.com emphasizes the importance of having a well-planned rebranding rollout plan to help companies pivot in the new year and adapt to the changing behavior of consumers.

“Many companies who pivoted during the pandemic, are now reaping the rewards by embracing new solutions to fill the changing needs of their consumers,” said Michael Santiago, founder of OnlineBusiness.com. “We predict another big push in tech and AI [artificial intelligence] this year, where companies can begin to integrate more automation to help lower operating costs and at the same time, improve the customer experience and increase their brands’ authority in the marketplace.”

According to OnlineBusiness.com, the pandemic demonstrated how quickly the marketing landscape can change. Most businesses needed to undergo a complete digital transformation to thrive in a fast-paced marketing world. To kick off 2022 and assist businesses in developing solid marketing tactics to face the challenges of the pandemic, OnlineBusiness.com shared the following 5 business trends for brands to pay close attention to:

  1. Consumers Move to the ‘Metaverse’– In 2022, consumers will begin to make a significant shift toward virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) experiences. 
  2. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Automation – Companies will rely more on AI automation to provide quick solutions, improve audience engagement, and make data-driven decisions.
  3. Brand Affinity – Consumers want brands that they can trust and depend on. Having a great customer experience, a strong digital presence, and quality products allows smaller players to compete against larger companies. Consumers continue to vote with their dollars.
  4. Short-Form Video Content – Short-form videos will be used by more brands to convey their message. In 2022, 89 percent of marketers worldwide expect to spend the same or more on this marketing technique.
  5. Social Responsibility – About 45 percent of brands will continue to prioritize social responsibility in their marketing campaigns. When it comes to brands they trust, consumers value transparency, social responsibility, and ethics, especially during the pandemic.

It’s critical to keep these business trends in mind in order to stay afloat with the changing business landscapes and stay ahead of the competition. Every company should be able to get its name out there and build a strong reputation for its products and services.

“Solidifying your digital presence is a key cornerstone for a competitive advantage. Having a strong, solid domain name helps companies stand out in the marketplace and demonstrate their authority in the mind of the consumers,” said Santiago. “We help our customers secure digital assets, whether it’s a premium domain name or ready-made starter website.”

OnlineBusiness.com believes that every online business should start with the best domain name. For the past few years, the company has been a leading marketplace for domain names and starter sites, assisting startups and industry leaders to dominate their industries and discover business opportunities by ensuring they get the right name for their brand. The team believes that by acquiring the best domain, each brand can write its own success story.

Visionary Marketplace Entrepreneur and Community Builder, Todd Haselhorst, Creates Storm Advisor™

Miami-Dade County resident, visionary entrepreneur, and community builder, Todd Haselhorst, announces his newest venture launched in October of 2021, StormAdvisor™. Throughout his career, he has chosen highly fragmented and antiquated industries where he can apply tech-enabled marketplace solutions and automated processes to reduce fraud, waste, and cost such as Auto Transport Plus sold to NYSE-KAR and CubeMonk, a transportation and labor marketplace for the logistics industry that is currently undergoing a merger.

In November 2020, after Hurricane Sally hit Florida and caused widespread property damage, Todd and his friend Nick created Hercules Construction to support the recovery efforts of people’s homes. They found that contractors were exploiting homeowners by providing poor quality work or sometimes even running off with their money. Haselhorst then began to realize how large and widespread the problems were facing homeowners in need of repairs. He quickly understood that much like in the logistics industry, that homeowners didn’t have the information, experience, and resources necessary to safely and quickly navigate the process of restoring their home.  

With Todd’s background in building marketplaces, he creatively and innovatively formed StormAdvisor™ so families could quickly and easily access their network of pre-vetted contractors, insurance adjusters, and restoration experts who could be trusted to restore their biggest asset back to pre-storm conditions, focusing first on Florida and Louisiana. 

Part of StormAdvisor’s mission is providing homeowners with a curated network of professionals to assist them throughout the entire process of filing a claim and repairing their home after a major storm. Most people have little to no experience with this lengthy process. Insurance companies, adjusters, and contractors take advantage of this fact—costing families time, money, and sometimes even their home.

Climate change increased the number of destructive storms by 40% over the last 20 years. In 2020 alone, 22 major storms caused over $1B in damage, breaking previous records. As a result, scammers flock to devastated communities to take advantage of these vulnerable homeowners. It’s gotten so bad, states are passing legislation to eliminate the predatory practices of these contractors, but it’s not working

“Our solution is an online marketplace that is hyperfocused on a niche experience overlooked by companies like Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack. None of these platforms focus on storm restoration – a dramatically different experience than home improvement,” says CEO & Founder Todd Haselhorst. “StormAdvisor™ is the first company to focus on building software tools and providing unbiased information in this underserved $100 billion dollar market.”

More About Todd Haselhorst: Todd Haselhorst is a serial entrepreneur who has been building businesses since the age of 12. He was born in Hays, Kansas amongst a family of construction company entrepreneurs. Todd followed suit at the age of 12 by creating a pipeline of lawn service clients and has never looked back. Since then he has built businesses in many different industries including: Auto Transport Plus sold to NYSE-KAR and CubeMonk, a transportation and labor marketplace for the logistics industry that is currently undergoing a merger.

He attended the University of Kansas studying Economics & Game Theory while playing a key role as Defensive Line Tackle on the best team in school history which later won the Orange Bowl in Miami, FL. Haselhorst’s vision was always innovative from a young age. Todd, who studied the science of decision making, developed a passion for creating systems that align the incentives of all the participants. 

During his moments of rest or activity, he enjoys reading, learning, traveling, hiking, camping, fitness, and practicing daily yoga, meditation, and self-development. His colleagues, family, and friends describe him as a genuine listener and goal-oriented human being who cares deeply about helping others. Todd is thoroughly happy with the city he lives in and sees Miami-Dade County as an opportunistic, culturally forward place to call home.

Las Vegas Tech Foundation, GlobalSoko, Launched an Unveiling of the Virtual eCommerce Marketplace, DadaSoko, during the Desert Fashion Empowering Young Women Entrepreneurs in Africa

GlobalSoko Foundation officially launched the DadaSoko Global Virtual Marketplace with an Afro Winter Wear in the Desert Fashion Show at the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas Saturday evening, December 4, 2021.

DadaSoko, Swahili for “SisterMarket”, is a self-sustaining global eCommerce ecosystem that provides digital tools, mentorship, and financial support to help empower young female entrepreneurs in Africa. In addition, the DadaSoko marketplace will provide women direct access to fashion consumers overseas, first focusing on the United States.

The founders saw a need to help women overcome their unique challenges in Africa and the developing world and grow their businesses by giving them access to global markets. 

To kick off the fashion event and unveiling of the marketplace and designers, The Honourable Esther Passaris, Member of Parliament and Woman’s Representative from Nairobi, addressed the crowd to describe, from her perspective as a prominent socialpreneur and philanthropist, the importance of DadaSoko for the young women entrepreneurs in Kenya.

Models then showcased the variety of exclusive men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, jewelry, and accessories, all exclusively designed, hand-made, and marketed by a new generation of talented young women from Africa.

Silicon Valley serial entrepreneur, author, and blockchain, AI, NFT, and DeFi expert Jorden Woods spoke about the cutting edge technology infrastructure that powers the DadaSoko Global Virtual Marketplace.

You can find the designers, such as, Hando Afrikan Designs, VaaLeo, Hailey Kollection, Umbo Collection, Janeqo Arts, Musi Collection and many more, now live on the DadaSoko . Com marketplace.

Featured styles were the coordinated fashion ensembles and matching mother-daughter and father-son clothing designs.Pete Munyasia, GlobalSoko Foundation Director of International Operations, gave the closing remarks before the invitation-only audience of supporters, sponsors, and investors. “Thank you all for coming out tonight to celebrate this important milestone with us. Tonight, you have seen for yourselves how your involvement with GlobalSoko is already making a social impact in Africa, empowering thousands of young women entrepreneurs and transforming their lives and benefiting entire communities of underserved people.”

Kenya Television Network KTN sent a reporter to attend the event, as the DadaSoko project has attracted a large amount of national interest in Kenya among prominent government officials, including senators and Members of Parliament.

“The technologies that empower these talented young women entrepreneurs to expand their business opportunities to the world outside of their neighborhoods and villages were conceived and built right here in Las Vegas. This includes technology for financial aid and a unique split-payment system that is the foundation for creating DadaSoko as a self-sustaining economic ecosystem,” said Moses Kusasira, President of GlobalSoko Foundation, Inc. in a post-event interview.
