Greek-American brothers Greg and Peter Kaldes, own and operate Kaldes Brothers Trading Company, and they will be at Booth 1701 at the Summer Fancy Food Show in June.

In August 2009, the brothers founded Kaldí – Pure Mediterranean Taste to offer simple yet sophisticated Greek food that they grew up eating. With oils made from rare Greek olives, and all-natural tomato sauces that combine the freshest island vegetables with aromatic herbs and spices, Kaldí brings you the pure Mediterranean tastes of Greece.

Capturing Leads at Experiential Marketing Events Now Easier Than Ever With eshots QuickCapture 4

Coming soon to the Apple Store for direct download!

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 30, 2012

The experiential marketing industry’s premiere technology solutions provider, eshots, today introduced its most powerful lead capture solution ever. For the first time, this release will bring QuickCapture 4 to the Apple App Store, satisfying the marketing needs of image-conscious brands while delivering a highly efficient experience to survey participants on some of the world’s most innovative, user-friendly survey technology.

“With QuickCapture 4, eshots didn’t just make an incremental improvement to its lead capture technology,” said Chrysler Global Events Manager, Bo Puffer. “These changes deliver unique efficiencies and innovative design in lead capture. We applaud eshots’ commitment to keep pushing the technology envelope and are excited about the high impact way they’re leveraging Apple’s devices.”

QuickCapture 4 enables marketers to gather as many leads as possible on easy-to-use iPad and iPhone devices through a high-impact, branded survey application that can be downloaded right to the client’s own devices, saving time and money. Through native iOS and other bleeding edge development frameworks, the graphic-rich interface can be rendered in both landscape mode for kiosk use, or portrait mode for staff-facing data collection. In addition, the app adapts seamlessly to the iPhone for product specialists and brand ambassadors on-the-go. The minute a QuickCapture 4-powered lead capture application is launched at an event, three levels of automation kick in:

Auto Locate: GPS technology automatically synchronizes lead capture devices with only the right events in that location, making sure in advance that the brand’s custom surveys are properly managed and associated.

Auto Update: In-market survey and event schedule changes are automatically and instantly downloaded.

Auto Upload: Right after an event participant completes a survey, his or her information is automatically uploaded to eshots’ cloud and into the client’s CRM system. If a network connection is not present, the encrypted data is stored securely as the application continues to run off-line, automatically transferring data up to the cloud when a connection is restored.

QuickCapture 4 can be integrated with the eshots’ Rapid Response automated email service, which sends a timely, customized call-to-action to the participant with robust and real-time reporting in eshots Event Intelligence portal.

“With the Apple devices, more automation is possible in a much more elegant design for the end user,” said eshots President, Craig Steensma. “We engineered QuickCapture 4 to minimize lead capture administration time and hardware costs, while maximizing the time spent in front of event participants capturing leads. And making it available for direct download from the Apple store means it’s never been easier for experiential event marketers to gain access to a world class lead capture app.”

Demos of eshots’ QuickCapture 4 are available at the eshots booth during the Event Marketing Summit, being held at the Sheraton Chicago through May 2nd, or by contacting eshots at 312-253-1527.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

Via Brasil Steakhouse, in the Summerlin area, decided to do something extraordinary this January for all Locals. No matter if it’s a new or old customer they will always receive a special local price that night. Las Vegas residents are getting a real value, receiving prices that are extremely low for what they are actually getting. All local ladies pay only $ 29.99 and men $ 39.99 for the whole Rodizio Dinner. “Thursdays all January have been the best nights of the week and we are really excited about it,” said Adam Gomes owner of Via Brasil Steakhouse. Even though January is a hard month for local restaurants, Via Brasil Steakhouse is seeing increased business throughout the month. Since the Las Vegas Brazilian Steakhouse started doing their Local Thursdays, the 10,000 square foot restaurant near Summerlin has been filling up pretty quickly. “I’m so happy that we could do something extraordinary for my Las Vegas neighbors…” said Adam Gomes. “I really see the potential of a night like this. And this is only the beginning…”

Adam Gomes wasn’t done with just giving a lower price for locals he also made sure that his Las Vegas neighbors could enjoy Happy Hour cocktails throughout the whole night including the restaurants dining area. “It is important to keep a close relationship with my local customers. I’m always here for them and open to hear more about what I can do to make their experience even better,” said Adam Gomes. “This restaurant is my home and when customers come into my home I want them to feel like family, their opinion matters and their voices heard.” This kind of sentiment it where Via Brasil Steakhouse differentiates itself from other Las Vegas Brazilian Steakhouses.

“High School Musical” Star Corbin Bleu Talks to TheaterMania About His New Role In Broadway’s “Godspell”

Corbin Bleu (© David Gordon)

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 26, 2012

Corbin Bleu became a household name as Chad Danforth in Disney’s smash hit television movie “High School Musical,” and later made his Broadway debut in 2010 as bodega-owner Usnavi in the Tony Award-winning musical “In the Heights.” He recently returned to the Great White Way to star as Jesus in the revival of the legendary musical “Godspell” at Circle in the Square. TheaterMania recently spoke with Bleu about taking on this demanding role.

“I knew the music, but have never seen a stage production until I was in New York a couple of months ago and Jim Caruso took me to see this production and introduced me to Danny Goldstein, the director. That’s when I found out that they were thinking about me for the role of Jesus…[The rehearsal process] was two weeks, which was the same that I had for ‘In The Heights.’ It is such a short amount of time. I worked with the director, musical director, and dance captain. And then I got about eight hours of rehearsal with the full cast before my first performance.”

TheaterMania currently has a discount ticket offer for “Godspell” where ticket buyers can save over 35% on select seats and performances through September 2. Click here for more information and to purchase discount tickets.
