Suffolk Business Launches Innovative Social Media Solution

Ipswich, Suffolk (PRWEB UK) 13 October 2011

iRuby, developed by Ipswich creative agency Rubious is a fully interactive online marketing tool designed to enable users to gain control of their Companys Facebook Page. Businesses can have a professionally designed Facebook page that acts like a website, but allows them to access, change and manage pages and information whenever they need to.

Rubious Technical Director Shaun Robinson says: An increasing amount of clients were asking us to design Facebook Pages for them, but were put off by the fact that any changes, no matter how small, would need to be sent to us to build into the page, at a cost. We saw a gap in the market for an easy to use, completely branded Content Management System for Facebook Pages and so we designed and developed this product. It was launched this month and so far the feedback has been fantastic".

Each iRuby interactive Facebook package is bespoke and can use incentives and rewards to encourage users to like the page and become a fan. The page owner can log in to a simple system online to make changes and add featured products, special offers, blog posts, images and video.

Shaun continues, "iRuby allows companies to really progress their use of social media to a never-before-seen scale. Instead of relying on a designer or developer, businesses can now have complete control about how to interact with their followers and customers, deciding on what, how and when to show them the content relevant to their business and marketing strategy. We wanted to bring this service to the SME market, and have priced iRuby to be affordable to any size of business, so SMEs can benefit from really powerful social media marketing."

Christian Products Now a $4.5 Billion Business According to Recent Survey

West Des Moines, Iowa (Vocus) September 14, 2007

Within the Christian products industry, auto and home insurance for churchgoers is among the hottest new offerings. In fact, the popularity of GuideOne Insurance's FaithGuard coverage has grown exponentially since its introduction, as it is now included with about 65,000 policies.

According to statistics released earlier this summer, religious books were the publishing industry's fastest-growing category last year, with Bible sales alone exceeding 25 million copies. And that's just the tip of the iceberg for the $ 4.5 billion Christian products industry,* which runs the gamut from books and videos to toys, games and, now, even insurance.

Launched two years ago in select test markets, GuideOne Insurance's FaithGuard Auto and Home product is now offered to churchgoers in 19 states. FaithGuard offers customers a number of unique benefits including waiving policyholders' deductibles in crashes that happen on the way to church and doubling medical payments to persons injured during at-home church activities.

The appeal of FaithGuard is fairly obvious to policyholders such as Andrew and Celeste Parker of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Parkers were on their way home from their weekly church service when they hit a pipe in the road that damaged their tire. Though their policy had a $ 1,000 deductible, they ultimately paid nothing because they were on their way home from a religious service.

"Interest in niche insurance products has really exploded in the past year," said Joseph Annotti, senior vice president of public affairs at the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI). "As far as we can tell, there is no other coverage for churchgoers quite like this, and obviously there is demand for it."

In addition to the benefits listed above, FaithGuard also will make payments of auto loans and church tithing for insured persons losing income from injuries suffered in such accidents. Additionally, policies with FaithGuard pay a $ 1,000 memorial gift to the insured person's church in the event of his or her death; double medical payments in the event of injuries to attendees of church-related events in the insured person's home; and cover mortgage, lease or rent payments for insured persons losing incomes as a result of an accident in the home.

Founded in 1947 and headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa, GuideOne Insurance is one of the nation's largest church insurers, with approximately 43,000 church policyholders. GuideOne also insures faith-based private schools and colleges as well as not-for-profit senior living communities. GuideOne's personal product lines include standard auto, homeowners, and life insurance products underwritten by the Kansas City Life Insurance Company. GuideOne is licensed to do business in all 50 states and markets its products and services through nearly 1,600 independent and career agents. GuideOne carries an "Excellent" rating from A.M. Best.
