The Asheville Astrolodge – A Place Where People Will Learn Why Things Happen to Them

Yvonne Haarsma

ASHEVILLE, N.C., Jan. 11, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Do you ever ask yourself, "Why does this always happen to me?" Or do you simply chalk it off to fate? Yvonne Haarsma, owner of the Asheville Astrolodge, explains why coincidences do not exist and ascertains that everything happens for a reason, including problems people encounter. A karmic astrologer, she can see the lessons which are often interpreted as problems, while studying someone's chart. As a result, she recently opened the Asheville Astrolodge to help people better understand their past, present and how it affects their future through holistic/karmic astrology.

The concept for the Asheville Astrolodge is simple. Guests stay for one or two-nights. During that time, they have their astrological chart read. This chart is also known as a birth blueprint. It is read to help them figure out why things happen and what they can do to take charge of their lives.

"I spend at least two hours with each person. We discuss certain laws of nature and usually review it over the course of two different sessions because there is a lot of information to absorb and process," Haarsma says.

Haarsma encourages guests to record the sessions and to take notes so that they can reference their reading for years to come. Through karmic astrology, she helps people to understand the reason for this life as well as lessons to be learned while here. This deeper understanding facilitates choices so people can strive for their desired destiny.

She has the ability to see a general tendency in past lives and reveals where people may have gotten stuck in certain patterns that are no longer useful. She helps them to break those patterns.

"Once we understand where the problems are coming from, we can start the process of change so people feel happier," she says.

Haarsma does not rely on computer programs for chart interpretations. All charts are personally analyzed and she writes about eight pages of details that are uniquely specific to each person.

"It's exciting to get in touch with your deeper self and to see how this process and understanding facilitates the choices we might make to become more true to that self," she says. "When people leave the Astrolodge, they often leave with a renewed sense of confidence."

About the Asheville Astrolodge:

The Asheville Astrolodge is within walking distance to downtown Asheville. It offers two guest rooms - each with its own entrance and private bathroom that can accommodate up to two people each. During their stay, guests are free to explore the many attractions that the region has to offer. From cultural activities and sustainable dining to outdoor adventures and spiritual experiences, there's something for everyone. The Asheville Astrolodge is the ideal retreat for couples, individuals or friends who are seeking something a little different - a getaway that incorporates a spiritual journey with a physical one.

New Dining Segmentation Provides Targeted Solutions for Local Restaurant Marketing

Consumer IntelliBase

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Sept. 22, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Cogensia, a data-driven marketing firm, recently launched a breakthrough restaurant marketing solution - Dining Segments. The segments categorize U.S. households based on eight of the most popular dining categories. The segmentation places every consumer into different profiles based on hundreds of demographic, survey, lifestyle and interest data elements. The segments are applied to all 120 million households in Cogensia's Consumer IntelliBase and are available for email and direct mail targeting.

"We are excited to release Dining Segments to help restaurants drive more traffic from new customers," Brad Rukstales, Cogensia president and CEO, says. "Dining Segments allow marketers to maximize their budget by targeting the consumers most likely to dine at their restaurant."

And, when marketers can specifically target dining categories, they receive higher response rates, higher average tickets and increased traffic. The eight dining categories are: White Table Cloth, Grilled & Seared, Bar & Grill, Bon Appetito, Quick & Casual, Pizza Lovers, Sweet Tooth and Caffeinated Breakfast. A consumer will be identified in one or more categories based on what is known about their behaviors.

When the average household spends $2,625 dining out, just $51 on average per week, this leaves many restaurateurs competing for the same dollars. Dining Segments allow marketers to easily identify and target specific consumers in their area.

"In fact, Dining Segments give restaurateurs the ability to take action and target local consumers who are dining at the competition," Rukstales adds.

For example, a fine dining restaurateur headquartered in Chicago sought to drive traffic to his 50 national locations. The fine dining profile (White Table Cloth) identified that there were one million U.S. households that valued the upscale service of white table cloth venues. These discerning guests typically order a bottle of wine, prefer a formal atmosphere, value healthy options and have an average check of more than $100.

Using Cogensia's IntelliList Audience Selector tool, this restaurateur entered the 50 location zip codes and defined his search to within a 5-mile radius. Instantly, he was able to identify 71,000 fine dining households within his market to target with a specialized offer and drive guests to his establishments. The response rate based on this target selection was 1.9 percent. The results drove 27 new tables per location, almost one per night. The cost of the program was only $566 per location, and generated almost $3,000 profit at each restaurant.

This customer also realized cost savings. Traditional marketing included media buys, print advertisements and social media promotion. Dining Segments identified the exact audience they wanted to reach for a fraction of the cost.

"Dining Segments are a leading-edge restaurant marketing tool. It's designed to help restaurant marketers with local marketing, and to drive traffic to the restaurant the same day that the email marketing message is sent," Joel Schiltz, Cogensia's senior vice president and COO, says. "There's just nothing else that provides the restaurant industry with such specific details about household dining preferences and behaviors."

Homewood Suites – Seattle/Lynnwood Sold to RLJ Lodging Trust

hotel realty northwest

SEATTLE, Wash., July 28, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Kennedy & Mohn announced today that they represented Legacy Hospitality, an Albuquerque based hotel development and operating company, in the sale of the 170-room Homewood Suites by Hilton, Seattle/Lynnwood. The hotel was acquired by RLJ Lodging Trust for $37.9 million or approximately $223,000 per key.

The vibrant and expanding economy of the Seattle area combined with limited availability of prime, institutional-grade hotel assets allowed the Seller to realize premium pricing on this still pre-stabilized hotel.

"We were able to achieve the Seller's primary goals of capitalizing on opportunistic timing and pricing influences, while maintaining a highly discreet transactional environment," said Michael Mohn, Vice President, Kennedy & Mohn, P.S.

The Homewood Suites is the first hotel acquisition by RLJ Lodging Trust in the greater Seattle area and only its second hotel in the Pacific Northwest. RLJ currently owns 126 hotels with approximately 20,800 rooms and two planned hotel conversions, located in 22 states and the District of Columbia.

The Homewood Suites opened in May 2014 and is located in Lynnwood, Washington, a suburban community 20-miles north of downtown Seattle. The hotel is uniquely positioned, close to major retail outlets, Boeing-anchored aerospace activities, and a variety of biotech and technology firms in south Snohomish County.

TimeForge exhibits ground-breaking comprehensive retail labor management platform utilizing business intelligence and beacon technologies at NRF 2015 tradeshow

Labor Management

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y., Jan. 12, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- TimeForge is presenting its vision for a comprehensive retail labor management platform, which will be showcased at the National Retail Federation (NRF) 2015 trade show. The TimeForge product line highlights a range of innovative solutions suited for every retail environment, from the retail store front to the back of a restaurant kitchen.

TimeForge products will be presented alongside Samsung Electronics America and will be showcased in the Samsung booth, #600, and in the Star booth, booth #3925, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center at the 2015 NRF show, which takes place January 11-14.

"TimeForge is excited about the future of retail and technology, and we see a lot of opportunity for restaurants and retailers. Beacons and other new technologies will continue to unearth new possibilities in sales and labor management, while existing technology can be improved to provide deeper insights into core business practices," said Anthony Presley, President of TimeForge. "Our solutions enable retailers to improve profitability at their stores, and we continue to improve upon our product line based on customer feedback."

PlaceForge and Asset Tracking:
Debuted at the Retail Solutions Providers Association (RSPA) show, PlaceForge is a unique system designed to track staff members and other key assets such as shopping carts and handheld computers. Beacons, similar to the iBeacon protocol supported by Apple, are deployed on the badges of staff members and on shopping carts, and the movements of the beacons are tracked throughout a store.

This ground-breaking product integrates with real-time sales data from more than 20 Point of Sale (PoS) systems, and could be used to identify hot and cold areas of a store, locate loss leaders, justify product layout modifications, and quickly alert management of potential problems on the sales floor.

Business Intelligence and Demand Forecasting:
Also on display at the NRF show is TimeForge's BI and demand forecasting modules. These tools are designed from the ground up to import POS sales information and forecast future sales and inventory needs on a transactional basis. The Business Intelligence software allows managers and IT professionals to build role-based dashboards with item, category, and cashier level analysis to identify trends and changes on the sales floor.

Attendance and Time Clocks:
TimeForge continues to expand their time clocks with a new offering from Star. TimeForge recently debuted the Star AsuraCPRNT time clock - an innovative touch screen timeclock product with an integrated printing solution for printing punch hours, schedules, and real-time reports. The self-service kiosk allows staff members to quickly clock in or out, request time off, swap shifts, and print out upcoming schedules. Managers can use the solution to instantly view labor and sales data directly on the device or on the TimeForge mobile platform.

Staff Scheduling Done Right:
TimeForge will also be displaying its award winning scheduling software. The retail staff scheduling software brings together employee self-service, the ability to request time off, and staff member's scheduling preferences from the web or mobile app, and combines staff member data with business metrics for efficient schedules. Business metrics commonly include minimum and maximum staffing requirements, sales growth or stagnation, real-time sales data, Affordable Care Act (ACA) needs, etc. By combining this data into an easy-to-use format for retail managers, TimeForge allows managers to convey schedule changes automatically to staff, post schedules, and enforce labor requirements.

About TimeForge:
TimeForge helps businesses in the hospitality, restaurant, retail, and grocery industries manage labor, build schedules, and run profitably while reducing turnover and improving operations. Used by businesses throughout the world, TimeForge is designed from the ground-up to simplify the complicated process of labor management.

Vivesan and Vivebloom Products Expand in Local Markets

Vivebloom Produce Wash

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 29, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Adherents of the "shop local" movement are becoming more discriminating. Cleveland's consumers are no exception, and they are driving demand for their local retailers to carry Vivesan(TM) and Vivebloom(TM) cleaning products. Waterstone Ventures LLP, the makers of the 100 percent carcinogen-free products, announced today that their cleaners will be sold in over 20 local grocery stores. These all-natural cleaners are available in Whole Foods Market (University Heights), Constantino's, Heinen's, and Nature's Bin stores.

All products are carcinogen-free, odor-free, natural, and 99.9 percent plant-based. The Vivesan line includes a streak-free Glass Cleaner, Laundry Soap for cold water, and a low-suds Carpet Cleaner that can be used in extraction machines. The Global Cleaner - intended for use for everything from toys to dirty pots - removes grease, grime, dirt, and buildup.

"Our customers are very aware of what they consume, and that's why products like Vivesan cleaners are a good fit for our shoppers. They want products that contain ingredients they recognize," said Michael Bishara, Grocery Team Leader at Whole Foods Market of University Heights, Ohio. "However, shoppers care about effectiveness, too, and that's what's appealing about these cleaners. Now, they don't have to trade potency for safety," he added. "The short distance these products travel is a plus, because they're made right here in Cleveland, and that's a smaller carbon footprint."

Other Vivesan(TM) formulas are available for Marine, Automotive, and Equine Care applications. The Vivebloom(TM) Produce Wash, a food-safe surfactant, is a liquid spray that removes undesirable residues, wax, pesticides, and dirt from fruits and vegetables. Custom formulations can also be created for retailers' specific requirements. These proprietary blends are designed to be as effective as traditional cleaners - without toxic chemicals.

All are derived from a proprietary blend of processed extracts of coconut, corn, grains, sugar cane, and tree sap, using ingredients that are produced and grown in the United States. Most Vivesan(TM) and Vivebloom(TM) consumer products are sold in quarts, and gallon units for dilution are sold for commercial use. Prices range from between US$8 for 32oz to $35 per super-concentrated gallon.

About Vivesan:

Vivesan carcinogen-free cleaners are 100 percent plant-based, highly-effective formulas for commercial, industrial, and consumer use. Vivesan products are distributed by Waterstone Ventures LLP, based in Burton, Ohio. More information: http://www.Vivesan.com/ .
