Mobile World

Lexington, KY (Vocus/PRWEB) April 15, 2011

eCampus.com, a top online textbook retailer, unveiled a new, user-friendly mobile version of their successful online website today.

The new mobile platform focuses on customer experience and usability when purchasing, renting, or selling textbooks through eCampus.com. The release of the mobile site comes just in time for the companys textbook buyback season. Students flock to eCampus.com every semester to sell their used textbooks and receive cash or in-store credit for their buyback purchases. The launch of the new mobile site will assist with the massive influx of traffic and help mobile users get through the selling process more quickly and efficiently.

The decision to launch an optimized mobile website was largely driven by our focus on giving students the best possible experience when renting, buying, or selling their textbooks, said Matt Montgomery, President and CEO of eCampus.com.

The mobile website, which is designed to simplify the buying and selling process, is compatible with most popular mobile phones, platforms and devices, including Android, Blackberry, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. According to Montgomery, the goal was to keep the user experience limited to sixty seconds or less to maximize conversion on all applicable devices.

With the increase in mobile device usage, it made sense to streamline the process for our users electing to sell or shop for textbooks using their phones. Our commitment to our customers is to be the best source for a students textbook needs. This means offering the most accessible, most secure, and most seamless process possible, Montgomery said.

By entering the title, author or ISBN of specific textbooks, students are able to instantly access price quotes on the new mobile version of the site, as well as purchase and rent them.

Customers who visit eCampus.com through mobile devices will be automatically redirected to the new user-friendly mobile version of the site, which can also be accessed by heading to m.eCampus.com on any internet browser.

As college students continue to rely heavily on their mobile technology, eCampus.com will continue to make their textbook experience as easy and user-friendly as possible, Montgomery said, solidifying the fact that eCampus.com continues to implement new enhancements and technologies as they develop.

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.

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.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 24, 2011

A news report broadcast by NBC San Diego recognized local company, Totem, as a trusted source in the industry where consumers can sell mobile phones in used or damaged condition for cash.

According to the NBC report, on average, consumers upgrade their phones every 13 months. Yet the majority of mobile service providers lock customers into two-year contracts. Totem offers a fair market value on iPhone, Blackberry, HTC and Motorola devices, as well as on iPads, so that customers have the funds to upgrade to the latest available technology.

Most of the recycled devices are sent to countries where the phones are still in wide demand, including China, Vietnam, Singapore, Mexico and other parts of South America. As a result, even severely damaged phones are valuable to Totems team of expert recyclers and repair technicians.

As dead or as new as it is, there is a market for the devices we buy, Totem CEO Nicholas Fiorentino told the NBC reporter. We borrow some parts from devices to fix other devices. We try to use as much of the product as we can.

The NBC clip features an iPhone with a shattered display screen that appears to have been run over by a car. The customer was still given $ 125 for their popular phone. A local competitor, as the new report shows, offered one customer only $ 31 for her old iPhone.

Customers contact Totem through its website, quickly enter the model and condition of their phone, and then they are immediately offered a quote. Since launching its website in 2009, Totem has honored 99.5 percent of every estimate provided. In some cases, customers are pleased to find extra money add to their payout.

About HelloTotem.com

Totem is committed to providing the highest quality buyback program in the industry, while remaining true to its values of social responsibility. The companys expert team of resellers, refurbishers and recyclers work diligently to ensure that consumers have an easy, efficient method to dispose of their old technology in a financially lucrative, yet environmentally friendly manner.
