Why would you hire an advertising firm that does not have its roots in finance?

Zacks Direct has the experience, the knowledge and most importantly the contacts (database has over 150,000 accredited investors) to put your capital needs in front of people with the money to fill those needs.

Zacks Direct is a division of Zack.com, a firm that has been operating and providing information to individual and institutional investors for over 30 years. Zacks.com currently has over 500,000 retail investor visits a week to their website. They have a daily newsletter base of a half million subscribers. That’s people who have money and are looking to invest.

Every company you contact is going to promise professionalism, accuracy, delivery and superior customer service. What sets Zacks Direct apart is their ability to deliver that. They have the ability to reach out and put your message in places other firms cannot. In other words, Zacks Direct can put your message into leading print publications and online outlets that accredited investors actually read. That makes all the difference. Your message has to be where it can be seen by the people who make the investing decisions. Think about how much spam you get in your email on a daily basis. Investors get the same stuff and it’s all trashed. However, when they get a message from Zacks Direct, they pay attention because Zacks is a firm they know and trust. The performance record Zacks has already accumulated speaks volumes about the company’s abilities to deliver on the promises they make. Raising capital requires a solid marketing plan. The Zacks Direct staff has put together many successful investment programs and they are ready to help you do the same.

To put that another way ­ If you’re trying to raise a few hundred bucks for the local Boy Scout troop, then posters around town and an article in the local newspaper is going to work just fine. If you need $500,000 or more tostart-up or expand your business, that same approach is not going to generate the interest you need from accredited investors. Zacks Direct will put your message in front of the people who can make that half million dollar, or more, investment happen.

A full service advertising firm, Zacks Direct also offers the following services:

• Branding, message, and image consulting

• Website enhancement or creation

• Link your offering to the top financial websites

• Targeted email distribution to Accredited Investors

• Optimized search engine results

• Digital media strategy and execution

• Placement with online publications and journals

• Placement in leading print publications

• Traditional PR strategy and execution

Zacks Direct will prepare a marketing and media plan to fit your budget. They can put your message in online and traditional print publications that serious investors use to make their financial decisions. That’s what a company serious about growth needs.

If you are serious about raising capital for your company, then be serious about HOW to raise the money to expand. Amateur efforts deliver amateur results. Professionals deliver professional results. While there are no guarantees in the financial world, bringing Zacks Direct on board to help with the capital­ raise will give you access to the investors you are seeking.

With most Regulation D and Crowdfunding platforms advertising their 10,000 to 40,000 accredited investor base, consider the impact of an email from Zacks that hits the inbox of !00,000+ accredited investors.

There’s a PARTY APP for THAT or there will be soon

We had the opportunity to be shown an early version of “Party State”, a new social networking app being created for the purpose of Revolutionizing the house party. We first came across Party State on Prefundia where they are letting people know that they will soon be launching their crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
The prefundia page enticed us with talk of some amazing early-bird perks, we bit and signed-up. Then we went a step further and reached out to the campaign creators. We were sworn to secrecy about most of what we learned about both the Party State app and the early bird perks but we can say – SIGN UP NOW!!
You’ll thank us once you receive the email you receive with launch details and the perks.

Here is the teaser video and some quotes from the prefundia page:

“Party State is a platform which connects all those who love partying and meeting new people. It’s an app, but it’s also so much more. It’s a worldwide party community and social movement.  It’s a tailor made system that will fit the needs of every Party Animal and every social person out there. Our users will form a community of non-stop parties worldwide and no one will be left out.”

“However, it’s more than just a party resource. Party State lets you build up your party persona, reputation and experience, call it what you want… It lets you connect with people like you, it lets you build your very own party circle, it makes you part of the STATE. With plans to throw Mega parties across infamously fun cities right after the campaign, Party State aims to unite fun-lovers and thrill-seekers to revolutionize how the world parties.”

Here’s a HINT – The Perks will get you invited to some of the biggest partys in the country!!

“What Is JetChill?”

“JetChill is a drinks system that creates smoking drinks using liquid Co2 through a unique patented delivery method.” “This system injects a dry ice snow directly into a specially made compartment at the bottom of our bespoke glass. This then enables you to safely pour your chosen drink into the glass to create a reaction and give you a different drinking experience.” “The drink components are mixed through the bubbling process and at the same time the drink releases its vapours (smoking effect) into the air. These vapours enhance the drink by giving out its aromas and after the reaction the drink is chilled and ready to enjoy.”

“An ambitious multiplayer game set in fantastical medieval world where you must defend your castle while attacking others to gain ranks!”

“Kingdom Espionage is a genre-defining game set in the fantastical kingdom of Lysterium. Imagine an experience that combines strategy, action, adventure, and RPG elements with the deep plotline of a massive single-player campaign and the ‘fun’ of multi-player co-op play!”

“In Espionage, you don’t just defend your castle with traps, units, and environmental hazards, you also have to attack other player’s castles with your own troops, counter-traps and spells to make it through! This unique gameplay is the first of its kind that we know of…think of it as Tower Defense meets Tower Attacks in a real-time-strategy setting, but requiring FPS level flexibility and RPG level character development! Whew! ”

From a recent press release issued by Crowdfund911, on behalf of DreamHatch Studios:
“Your goal in Espionage is climb up the feudal ladder starting as a serf and working your way up to end up as a noble or a king. You do this by sabotaging other players and their castles while defending your own,” said Mr. Pakala. “My goal with this game is to give player a different experience than just running around killing monsters and gathering gold. In Espionage, you have to plan and plot and use strategy.” – Full Release Here

We have been viewing, supporting and reviewing crowdfunding campaigns for over two years. We have no problem saying we are more excited about this crowdfunding campaign hitting its funding goals and launching then almost any other we have followed.

Join us in supporting Kingdom Espionage!

MyEvent.com does indeed have an 11 year history online, although their entrance in to the crowdfunding space is relatively new, we are going out on a limb and guaranteeing their success. This stems from not only their history of successful online offerings but some product differentiation that truly sets them apart from many of the players in the marketplace.

There are many features we could cover but the first (and most impressive) that jumps out at us is the fact that MyEvent.com offers its own payment processing. Not only offering users substantially lower fees BUT allowing donors to avoid using PayPal or WePay if so inclined. This brings their administration and payment processing to amongst the lowest in the industry.

Another key feature offered is the ability (for a minimal monthly fee) to offer ticket sales, online auctions, sponsor pages and (our personal favorite) your OWN DOMAIN NAME. We have long stated that if crowdfunding project creators are marketing and driving traffic to a project, they should control the domain that they are sending that traffic to – Problem solved!

Here are some additional notes we received from MyEvent.com:

“What makes us the best online fundraising company is that one

does not need a pay pal account or other merchant account to accept

donations. They can sign up in under a minute and accept payments

instantly for free (our basic package has no fees).  (a total of 5% includes payment processing – compared to

industry ranges from 5%-9% + pay pal 2.9%)”

“Our premium packages allow participants in events (walkathons, runs, etc…)

to each get their own personal fundraising pages and there is an online auction.

We also allow people to sell tickets online for fundraising events.  We also have

hundreds of design themes for so many different causes and all packages have

social media integration.”

“We have been online for 12 years and we have customer support 7 days a week.”

Pretty excited to recommend MyEvent.com to our reader interested in personal fundraising, group fundraising, fundraising event, Sports fundraising, School fundraising or nearly any other event where funds need to be raised.
Don’t forget the ability MyEvent has regarding online Charity auctions and Event ticket sales!

Here are some excerpts from the campaign and the note we received from the companies founder, Chris Moudy.

“Our PORT is superior to other options available due to cold cases for perishables, groceries and medicine. The unattended, secure pass-through units allow deliveries when you are not present at home, business or anywhere. Saves time, money and fuel.”

“This is a good thing for various groups of people, like home bound people with limited mobility, seniors and recovering patients. Farmers can buy and sell direct through it, these are our plans for the test market system. This empowers shoppers to vote with their dollar for organic preferences over unregulated GMO’s.
