Posted on by

Yorkshire, England (PRWEB UK) 27 April 2012

SKY Atlantic HD releases a new series in April, starring one of our houses, Carlton Towers, in Yorkshire.

The program was produced by Landmark Films, a British production company based in Oxfordshire, England.

Run under the banner, ?Find out what goes on when credit-crunch-hit owners of some of Britain’s most stately mansions open their doors to party-loving public.? The Guest Wing focuses on four stately homes with their respective challenges.

Staying At Carlton Towers

Carlton Towers (http://www.landedhouses.co.uk/england/north-england/carlton-towers/) welcomes all sorts of guests, from the Caravan Club to Weddings, to Shooting Parties.

Carlton Towers is not like a hotel, where you have to share with other guests ? the house is available on an exclusive-use basis. Great news if you?re looking for privacy!

The current Lord and Lady Gerald Fitzalan Howard have overseen extensive updating to the house, and it now sleeps 31, in 16 en-suite rooms. The bedrooms are found in two Wings of the house, as well as The Clock Tower and The Baroness? Tower.

Downstairs are both formal reception rooms (the state rooms, including a dance floor in the Armoury), and less formal smaller drawing rooms.

The house sits in 250 acres of parkland, surrounded by a further 1500 acres of farmland and woodland; through which are countless walks and rides. There is a huge amount to do both on and off the estate; Carlton Towers is renown for its game shooting, and there is also course fishing, golf and clay (or skeet) shooting. For more lazy days, there are beautiful natural gardens in which to explore and picnic.

Facebook IPO Reveals The Reach and Challenges of Their Online PPC Marketing Platform

Posted on by

Brisbane,Qld (PRWEB) May 11, 2012

Facebook’s recent IPO filing and update revealed some very interesting and hitherto unknown facts about their business and particularly their online pay per click marketing platform. The documents stated that there are now 901 million active users on Facebook around the world generating advertising revenue of $ 3.2Billion. Of those 901 million users,over 500 million are mobile phone users. The countries that have adopted Facebook on mobile phones in the greatest numbers are the USA followed by Indonesia, India, UK, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, France, Turkey and Canada according to their IPO filing.

This huge mobile factor has caused Facebook a serious headache however as reported yesterday by CNN,the growth of people accessing Facebook on mobile phones is greater than Facebook’s ability to monetize the traffic. The company’s ability to turn mass use into revenue works very well with their desktop pc/mac traffic and even on ipads but by their own admission in the IPO update, mobiles including the iphone are not generating meaningful revenue. In wednesday’s IPO update this issue was addressed by CFO David Ebersman when he said that there was a substantial investment going into their mobile platform(they recently paid $ 1 billion in cash for Instagram), he also stated Facebook’s commitment to developing the user experience and advertising opportunities on the mobile phone.

The pay per click advertising model that Facebook have developed is quite different to the Google adwords ppc platform. Clicks are currently a lot cheaper, for example than adwords clicks according to Online Marketing Specialist,David Twigg,he says ?Typically you will pay between $ 1-2 per click in most markets though that greatly depends on the country that you are marketing to and a range of other factors. Demographic selection opportunities are better with Facebook, for example an advertiser is able to have their ads showing only on Facebook pages of 35-45 year old women in Germany(or any other country or state) that list a specific interest like sport. Equally advertising only to fans of the TV show Mad Men would have great appeal to many businesses.? One aspect of advertising with Facebook that usurps Google is the average session time of a user, studies have shown that people are exposed to Facebook ads for longer because they are spending longer looking at a Facebook page than they are looking at a Google search results page. Twigg however doesn’t think it is yet a serious challenger to Google Adwords ?In the end Facebook advertising will always be interuptive because people are not on Facebook for any reason other than to communicate, the amazing platform created by Google means that advertising is included seamlessly, most of the time people don’t know they are clicking on an ad.?

Online marketing will continue to evolve, pay per click marketing too.

American Rivers Launches River Ambassador Program for River Businesses and Outfitters

Posted on by

Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 11, 2012

A new program launched by American Rivers, the nation?s leading river conservation organization, is helping local businesses and outfitters connect with customers and join the effort to protect rivers and clean water.

The River Ambassador Program captures the enthusiasm that people have when they visit a river and gives them opportunities to take action for conservation. River Ambassador businesses receive benefits including outreach materials, recognition at http://www.AmericanRivers.org, the American Rivers newsletter, social media outreach, and more.

?Local businesses and outfitters are some of the best advocates for clean, healthy rivers. We are excited to work with them to introduce more people to the joy and beauty of rivers, and inspire a new generation of conservationists,? said Anne Paterson of American Rivers.

Loveland Canoe and Kayak, located on the Wild and Scenic Little Miami River, was among the first businesses to sign up. Owner Mark Bersani commented on his participation in the River Ambassador program: “We feel it’s an important part of our stewardship to take good care of our waterway and help to keep it clean and healthy. Our partnership with American Rivers has enabled us to promote and host highly successful annual river cleanups and provides us with resources to help educate paddlers about river conservation. We’re very excited to be charter members of the River Ambassador Program.”

Healthy rivers are valuable community assets that are vital to health, quality of life, and recreation. From fishing to paddling to wildlife-watching, rivers offer endless opportunities to connect with the outdoors. According to the Congressional Sportsmen?s Foundation, more people fish than visit Disney World each year, and paddle sports are the fastest-growing segment of the outdoor industry.

River businesses are invited to join the River Ambassador program today. Membership starts at $ 250 annually. To become a member, visit http://www.americanrivers.org/riverambassador, or contact Anne Paterson, apaterson(at)americanrivers(dot)org or 202-347-7550.
