Newark Airport Marriott Hotel Recognized for Teaming Up With Green Recoverings to Recycle Discards
Posted , comments closed) NEWARK, NJ (November 6, 2009) — CNN recently sent a crew to film blankets being donated by the Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott to Green Recoverings, an organization that works with hotels to donate gently used bedding, towels, and other household type discards and gives them to those in need while at the same time reducing waste in landfills.
The shoot was part of a “Leaders With Heart” segment that will air on the cable network next month and features Green Recoverings founder Mary Marzano. Ms. Marzano has partnered with the Newark, NJ eco hotel to recycle their discarded bedding.
Until recently, blankets, pillows, sheets, comforters, and towels which were deemed unusable for the Newark airport hotel’s guestrooms, ended up in the trash, and with 591 rooms, linen turnover is high.
As a result, the Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott partnered with Green Recoverings and is now donating surplus, gently used bedding that include blankets, pillows, sheets, comforters, and towels which Green Recoverings will give to shelters, charities, and families in need in the local community. Additionally, the Newark airport hotel solicited the involvement of Jim Morris, General Manager, Marriott New Jersey Textile Services and the other Marriott and Renaissance hotels in the Elizabeth, New Jersey area have become involved as well.
According to Pat Strocchia, Director of Sales and Marketing at the Newark, NJ eco-friendly hotel, “This program is a win-win for all involved, allowing us to help our neighbors in need and be gentle on the environment at the same time.”

EIW,LLC Launches The Royal Hawaiian Chess Set
Posted November 9, 2009 , comments closed) Everett I. Whitney, President of EIW, LLC proudly launches, the Royal Hawaiian Chess Set.
Developed initially to offer as a souvenir alternative to tourists visiting Hawaii. The product was designed to be symbolic, yet achieve immediate recognition. The challenge was to create recognizable Hawaiian themed pieces without crossing cultural taboos. The cultural taboos are profiles and resemblances of royalty as well as likenesses of individuals of the Royal Court.
The next challenge was to determine the consumer types. Over these many years, the consumer has remained relatively unchanged. The common motivation of a Hawaiian vacation is its geographic and culturally diverse location. The Hawaii tourist expectation is to experience an adventure that is not to foreign though it feels foreign, yet safe and knowingly home grown in America. Nearing their departure tourist seek souvenirs and gifts to take home to family and friends. Vendors have been forced to sell Hawaiian souvenir goods with labels made in China, Taiwan etc. which is not new; this has been going on for years. These products have been generic, humdrum and mundane, simply trinkets to appease the masses of family and friends when they get home. The tourists that can afford a little authenticity find local art galleries and arts and craft shops for Hawaiian crafts made in Hawaii.
The Royal Hawaiian Chess Set was designed to give as gifts or buy for souvenirs and fits in most suit cases. The Royal Hawaiian Chess Set can be made anywhere in the world, because the name and the product are true to what they represent, “Hawaii and its royal past.”
Mr. Whitney thinks, “as more and more airlines offer bargain prices to Hawaii and AAA Travel offers increditable package plans and Disney opens their Hawaiian resort, we will be ready to accommodate demand. ” Whitney continues, ” it is especially exciting to see how our product will impact the souvenir
and gift markets of Hawaii.”
About EIW, LLC:
EIW, LLC holds the Trademark and Design Pending Patent of the Royal Hawaiian Chess Set
A unique, one-of-a-kind chess and checker set on this planet. With one consigned store in
Hawaii and more planned. EIW, LLC is currently web based, located in Buena Park, CA.

Decode Car Hire Preparing for the 2010 Car Hire Season
Posted , comments closed) London With the World Travel Market 2009 almost here, Decode Car Hire is gearing up to release its new plans for 2010. There has been some recent stirrings about Decode Car Hire focusing a lot of its energy into the ever popular social networking markets. With the new Facebook application called Easy Car Hire already available, Decode Car Hire is really trying to bring the cars to the people rather than vice versa. They are also utilizing Twitter to reach a large audience about their worldwide car hire services. A spokesperson from the Decode Car Hire marketing department said, “We are very interested to see what kind of activity we can stimulate through these relatively untapped social mediums. It is really great how they are all linked together and they provide a very low cost solution to our advertising plans.” The spokesperson continued to speak about the Facebook application and how it is the only one of its kind on the internet’s biggest social network page. He acknowledged the accomplishment with some more words about the Facebook application saying, “The idea was simple really, we implemented our application so that millions of Facebook users could search for cars without having to come to our main website. We are also using the Facebook as a customer service medium so that our existing and future customers can contact us.” The customer service reference was enthusiastically emphasized by the Decode spokesperson because he was very anxious to speak about the new project.
Decode Car Hire is planning to step up the customer service aspect of the business to set themselves apart from competing companies. With new satisfaction guarantees ready for 2010, Decode Car Hire really wants to learn from the mistakes of the competition, as well as themselves, to provide the best service in the business. Again the Decode Car Hire spokesperson wanted to really address the new plan by saying this, “We see what people write in forums and we know there is a lot of problems with the aspects of customer service in the car hire business. We are here to fix the problems. We want our customers to feel welcome and respected when they use our company. Our new plans for the 2010 year are going to completely revamp the car hire customer service business and will guarantee the satisfaction of our clients.” He was careful not to reveal the full details of the customer service plans, but he was also very keen on using the phrase “complete transparency.” It sounds as though Decode Car Hire is really putting the customer first when it comes to their car hire services and special offers.
When the clock strikes midnight on January 1st 2010, look for Decode Car Hire to really start ramping up their already good customer service to an unprecedented level. We can also expect to see Decode Car Hire pushing hard through the social markets in an attempt to find customers by different means than simple searches on Google or Yahoo. Decode Car Hire should be a major player in the car hire business come 2010 and with the implementation of the new customer service plans, they should have no trouble securing a lot of satisfied clients.
