Columbus, Oh (PRWEB) December 01, 2011

Today, Forbes ranked e-Cycle LLC #68 on its annual list Americas Most Promising Companies. One of only three Ohio companies to appear on this prestigious list, e-Cycle was the only company from Central Ohio to receive a ranking.

Forbes Americas Most Promising Companies list features 100 privately held up-and-comers with compelling business models, strong management teams, notable customers, strategic partners and precious investment capital.

Sizing up younger, privately held companies is hard: Their fortunes can change very quickly and theres a dearth of public data, says Forbes Executive Editor Brett Nelson. We took a more comprehensive approach to evaluate their health and potential.

To sharpen its search, Forbes teamed up with CB Insights, a Manhattan-based data firm that tracks investment in high-growth private companies. With $ 650,000 in grants from the National Science Foundation, CB has developed complex software called Mosaic that mines myriad online sources (from press releases and social networks to job boards and court filings) to come up with one, algorithmically derived score that measures a private companys health. Forbes married Mosaics data-crunching with old-fashioned reporting to assemble a list of rising stars with bright growth prospects. To view the complete the list, please visit http://www.forbes.com/ampc.

e-Cycle is the leading provider of wireless mobile buyback, data deletion and recycling services for businesses and major organizations. The company achieved 558 percent business growth between 2007 and 2010 and created more than 75 green jobs at its Ohio headquarters.

We are thrilled to be recognized by Forbes this year. I am extremely proud of the hard work and dedication of the entire e-Cycle team to provide unparalleled service for our clients, said Christopher Irion, founder and CEO of e-Cycle. Our success, however, would not be possible without the growing commitment to responsible e-waste reuse, recycling, and data security by the organizations that we serve. We applaud their environmental stewardship and thank them for their continued trust.

About e-Cycle

Ranked the #5 fastest growing, privately held environmental services company by Inc., e-Cycle helps organizations take a more responsible, secure and profitable approach to wireless mobile phone recycling. e-Cycle collects used mobile devices from businesses and major organizations, reimbursing them for devices that retain value and recycling all others at no charge.

Steve Jobs has transformed the lives of consumers and businesses – especially small businesses, writes Ramon Ray, Editor & Technology Evangelist of Smallbiztechnology.com.

He writes that Steve’s legacy, is in two parts, the creation of Apple as a competitor to the PC industry and the revolution of the mobile marketplace in the creation of the iPhone.

With his death the stimulation of innovative competitiveness could be stifled.

In the blog post ( http://smallbiztechnology.com/?p=18209 ) Ramon writes that Apple computer was always the scrappy competitor and alternative to Microsoft and PC vendors.

When Steve Jobs launched the i series of products iPod, iPhone, iTouch, and iPad Steve ushered in a drastic transformation of the stagnant mobile computing market.

Apples entry into the mobile market was the catalyst of Google launching Android, Black Berrys dominance on the corporate mobile market being seriously challenged and Microsoft Windows Mobile franchise being critically challenged, thus stimulating Microsoft to rethink its entire mobile strategy.

Steve Jobs will be missed for showing his peers and competitors that technology needs to be feature rich, fun, well designed and not necessarily cheap. Steve, thanks for enabling more powerful mobile technology for consumers and businesses and especially small businesses.

Smallbiztechnology.com hopes that technology vendors will continue to aggressively innovate and think outside of the “status quo” when designing technology products.

Internet Business How To, an Internet Marketing company specialized on SEO, SEM, Google+ and Internet Marketing strategies and services, just released their new Quick QR Code Generator software and related video/text training series on QR Codes for Local and Small Businesses. During the pre-launch and beta test phase both products will be available for free.

One of the ways a small business can market itself better both offline and online is by using QR codes. Although, currently quite new to business owners and customers, QR Code usage has been rising and its wise for any small business owner to jump on board now before getting left behind by the competition.

What are QR Codes?

Quick response codes, commonly known as QR Codes are similar to the barcodes we find on physical products and buy at supermarkets, such as a box of cereal or bottle of shampoo. While regular barcodes are scanned by barcode readers at the till, QR Codes can be scanned by mobile phones and most importantly direct the person scanning to an offline or online destination.

For example, a mobile user can scan a QR Code and be directed to a phone number, a SMS, a website, an online video on YouTube, a social media page on Twitter, Facebook or Foursquare, an image on Flickr etc. QR Codes give both business owners and their customers a wide and exciting range of experiences than just a regular bar code.

Business owners are provided with creative and high conversion marketing strategies, while customers get quick and easy interaction with brands and businesses through the convenience of their mobile phone.

The first thing is to decide how QR Codes can fit into the existing marketing strategy and the best ways to integrate QR Codes into the specific of business marketing strategy. For example, a restaurant would have a more entertaining QR Code marketing campaign than a funeral parlor or a lawyer would.

One also needs to decide where to direct QR Code scanners in a manner that is appropriate to the specific business. So while a restaurant could direct customers to a coupon landing page, a lawyer would direct clients to his online resume or profile.

The final part is to place the QR Code in the most appropriate location that current and potential clients are most likely to notice it. This could be on newspapers, magazines, business cards, promotional material, storefront windows etc.

5 Common mistakes business owners make when using QR Codes and how to avoid them
