"No matter how the world concludes this year, whether from Galactic Alignment, the Mayan Calendar, Nostradamus, or some cataclysmic combination, we will all be there for you with special reduced rates on the services you will need to get your business started again," states John Scott G from G-Man Marketing.

In a promotional event called "Lower the BOOM on Prices," G-Man Marketing and their clients "will lower pricing by 12% starting 02.12.12," G says. "While many marketing companies raised their pricing this year by 15% or more, we took the opposite approach. We chose 02.12.12 to start the promo, as it's one digit lower than 12.12.12, which is our way of being optimistic."

G continues, "Additionally, a second part of the promotion will run from the 'end of the world' all the way through to the end of the year." Among the offers that will apply from December 21 to 31, 2012, are the following: G-Man Marketing will provide public relations services for free. Send2Press.com (a service of Neotrope(R)) will disseminate the media announcements for free. Country artist Sandra Piller will sell her album at half price. Country songwriter Jane Bach will co-write a song for free. Matt Forger will mix and master a song for one-third off.

Sheena Metal, host on LATalkRadio, will create a radio commercial for your product. In addition, her Carnyville live music event will let your band play two sets for free, "even if all your fans have expired," notes Ms. Metal.

Goodnight Kiss Music is offering half off music consultations. Robin Hood Music offers free song downloads. Phil Hatten Design will create a logo for free. FookMovie will create a free music video. And a spokesperson for Golosio, the music publishing firm, says "We will pitch your song to whatever film and TV projects are still available, although they probably will just be basic cable."

Some restrictions apply for the second part of the promotion only: "First, the world must actually come to an end on or about December 21," G said. "Second, you'll have to figure out how to get in touch with us during the ten days in question because we've had no assurances from the phone companies that they'll be doing anything at that time except figuring out how to charge you for unused minutes."

For more information about all the firms and individuals in this story, please contact John Scott G of G-Man Marketing. "Please remember," G states, "the world may end but good hype is forever."

It details how to reduce, reuse, recycle and respond and can be read in full here: www.ballantine.com/2011/10/10/green-direct-mail/.

"Green direct mail continues to be an important topic," says Ryan Cote, director of marketing for the Ballantine Corporation. "We hope that this white paper will provide businesses with useful and practical tips to help make its direct mail greener."

Additionally, green direct mail not only demonstrates a business's commitment to the environment, it can also help to save money in certain cases.

"The Four R's of Green Direct Mail" provides specific tactics that can be easily employed. For example, reducing materials used is one of the easiest ways to get started and includes actions such as linking to online content; using press-efficient formats; fine-tuning targeted mailing lists; and more.

And, while many marketing departments have some type of recycling program in place there are ways that businesses can also encourage their customers to recycle and make the process even that more effective.

Another "R" - reusing - may prove to be the most difficult to implement, but it may also have the greatest number of options to choose from.

Finally, a business should "respond."

"There's nothing wrong with a company tooting its own horn," says Cote. "If it is making efforts to become 'greener,' there are several ways that it can communicate this to its customer base. Everyone will benefit."

Family-owned since 1966, The Ballantine Corporation is a New Jersey-based company offering direct marketing services to companies nationwide.

LONDON, Ontario, July 6 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Time is money, and when both are of the essence, there's a need for speed that cannot be ignored. Voices.com CEO David Ciccarelli and his team recently revealed the newly redesigned site to their customers and have received a significant amount of support from members of the service, particularly as it relates to how quickly the website pages load.

For a Web-based service that helps to make the world sound good, it was imperative that individual page loading time increased ten-fold to allow for customers to upload, listen to and download audio files with ease.

Voices.com's page load time has been reported as fast as 963 ms, which is ten times faster than the 15.30 seconds previously reported by Pingdom, a website monitoring and measurement service.

A significant amount of time was spent on the user interface design to simplify the layout, making it easier to read critical information on each page. Voices.com worked with user interface designers, user experience designers, performed split tests with Google Website Optimizer, tracked clicks and mouse movements with CrazyEgg and conducted first hand research with UserTesting.com, implementing changes based upon feedback received via several thousand responses to design and usability surveys. Once the designs were built, voice talent members participated in a Beta Testing program and contributed their findings for review. All of the feedback from the beta testers was positive. This was a 12 month process and the company feels confident with the resulting website.
