CastleGrade N95 masks do precisely what Castle intended---address ongoing issues such as affordability of N95 masks. Castlegrade Entrepreneur Dan Castle is passionate about safety, especially during the pandemic. New York City, NY , March 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entrepreneur Dan Castle is passionate about safety, especially during the pandemic. Therefore, his reusable N95 FDA registered mask---valve and vent-free--- is a top-notch solution to many mask-wearing issues such as comfort, safety, and affordability. CastleGrade reusable N95 FDA registered masks are Castle’s upgrade to an earlier version of the mask produced by Anna Grinvald in December. Grinvald, an entrepreneur and business owner, sought to invent a mask that would prevent foggy glasses, a constant complaint from her mother, who lives in a senior care facility. With Ron Grinvald, a former injection mold specialist for NASA, Anna and Castle improved the original G-Series mask. Recently tested by the FDA, Nelson Labs, Alpha Labs, and SMQ Labs, the latest version of the mask has tested above 97 percent on all filtration tests, including 98.2 percent on the NIOSH NacL test. Anna’s mother was extremely excited to see that she finally had a quality, safe mask that didn’t fog her glasses. CastleGrade N95 masks do precisely what Castle intended---address ongoing issues such as affordability of N95 masks. CastleGrade masks are reusable, saving both money and the planet at the same time. However, there is a problem that still concerns Castle---frontline workers want access to the best protection, yet many don't know the CastleGrade masks exist because of advertising regulations. The advertising ban According to an article in The Guardian, Facebook issued a ban on N95 mask advertising as part of an effort to prevent social media from becoming a platform to exploit people’s concerns about the pandemic. Additionally, the ban was intended to avoid price gouging for the higher grade masks when supply is limited. Finally, the ban aims to keep the best masks available for healthcare workers who need them the most. Castle says he understands the reasons for the ban; however, many of the initial concerns have gone by the wayside. Castle says people who want and need his ultra-safe masks don’t know they exist because the media advertising ban is still in place. Castle says the ban might have been necessary early on in the pandemic, but now it's causing manufacturers like him to have huge inventories with no way to advertise to the millions of people who want and need his masks. Superior quality and comfort What makes CastleGrade masks superior compared to traditional N95 face masks? This answer begins with safe air filtration. Castle says, “Our G-Series Masks use a 4-ply filter composed of 4 layers of filtration materials with no valves or vents, so both user and those around them are protected. Air is filtered in upon inhaling and exhaling.” Castle adds that this filtration method has an efficiency score considerably higher than 95 percent across multiple lab tests. Paired with the superior, soft, form-fitting seal with natural suction, the CastleGrade mask offers exceptionally safe air quality. And maybe most practical for those who wear glasses---no fog! The G-Series mask comes in seven fashionable colors with silicone, around-the-ear straps for all-day comfort without the hassle of having to pull the straps over your head. The straps are adjustable and available in three colors: Blue, Black, and Grey. Finally, the G-Series N95 mask is easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Closing Even though CastleGrade is still not allowed to advertise its masks on social media, word is spreading that their G-Series N95 masks effectively keep harmful elements out and clean filtered air in. When you pair that ‘plus’ with the style, comfort, and easy sanitizing, this mask can be deemed one of the best available to the general public. Oh---and let’s not forget the ‘no fog’ feature for people who wear glasses. This aspect alone is a total game-changer. This summer, Castle will introduce the long-awaited “T-Series teacher’s mask,” which allows for new upgrades and features that teachers have been asking for to keep them protected in the classroom.

On his professional journey, he met like-minded entrepreneur McCord. ViralBrand On his professional journey, he met like-minded entrepreneur McCord. West Hollywood, CA, March 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Since the Coronavirus pandemic turned our lives upside down nearly a year ago, thousands of businesses have been forced to undergo a complete factory reset. Numerous industries proved to be more innovative than ever when they discovered how drastically their sectors had changed due to countless COVID-19 related roadblocks and logistical challenges. Whether it was reduced budgets, increasingly saturated advertising spaces, or greater competition online, priorities and strategy changed for everyone from the largest corporations to the scrappiest of startups. One marketing power couple has been at the forefront of the evolution of their industry during the pandemic, and have pinpointed the most significant changes taking place. Rick Schirmer and his wife Rachel McCord, who was named the “influencer of influencers” by the Daily Mail, are the architects behind countless viral campaigns. An alumnus of Disney, Schirmer boasts an impressive resume of previous viral launches including “The Chronicles of Narnia”, “The Purge”, “Harry Potter”, “The Hobbit”, and more. He’s also worked on corporate campaigns for Chick-fil-A's Kids & Family program, Procter & Gamble, Walmart, and Whole Foods. On his professional journey, he met like-minded entrepreneur McCord. As well as founding the female empowerment and influencer e-commerce community The McCord List, she’s worked in events management at famous venues like the Marquee Las Vegas. It wasn’t long before the couple discovered a mutual vocation that led them to co-found the ViralBrand agency in 2016. Their perfect business synergy has helped collaborate and conduct viral campaigns for Kylie Jenner and Burst Oral Care. Despite their recent successes, they have noticed a stark change in the viral marketing industry during the Covid era. “Instead of being a luxury component of the marketing conversation, we are now seeing viral marketing leading the campaigns. Brands feel an urgency to reach consumers spending more time on their screens looking for content from community leading influencers that they trust,” Schirmer says. McCord adds, “Brands have to find ways to leave the sidelines with pop-up, banner ads, and pay-per-click becoming ancillary strategies. The market leaders know that they have to actually become an organic part of the consumer conversation now.” The business duo have identified six key talking points that are reshaping the future of marketing. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are thankfully here to stay Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is the acronym used in marketing that means diversifying your consumer base to gain more loyal customers and greater exposure. But on a more human level, it means committing to meaningful change and working on strategies that are inclusive and representative. Every consumer brand in America will be developing strategies to define their values for customers, undeniably one of the more positive and significant changes in the industry. The rapid acceleration of community leader influencer marketing It’s no secret that influencers have become the superpower of any marketing campaign. We have witnessed just how profoundly impactful a marketing campaign with the right influencer on board can be, potentially defining the whole campaign. Selecting influencers who are invested in niche communities have proved to be infinitely more effective than a marketing strategy that attempts to reach more people but with less impact. Influencers have built up more trust with their audiences than a website advert or banner ever could. Organic user generated content in place of traditional ads User-generated content (UGC) is effective in a similar way to influencer marketing. It refers to anything created by people rather than brands – images, reviews, videos. UGC has become such a core part of social media platforms like Instagram now, that we often scroll over it without noticing. It’s a much less invasive marketing tool that guarantees exposure and trust. When something is promoted organically because of a user’s genuine enthusiasm, that’s when brands hit the marketing jackpot. Humanization of social issues that empower brands to share values without drifting political Social media has allowed brands to have a louder and more unique voice than ever. Campaigns no longer have to be solely focused on selling products or services, but can actually reinforce that company’s values, beliefs, and support of social justice issues. Brand authenticity can define them, and by humanizing marketing campaigns, it means people purchase with an emotional investment. According to one study, 64% of consumers make purchase decisions based on a brand’s stance on societal issues. Continued exponential growth of live video across all major social platforms Live video streaming has seen massive growth since the beginning of the pandemic. Facebook live, Instagram live, and platforms like Periscope and Twitch were up until recently, unchartered territory brimming with opportunity. Whether it is live interviews, live-streamed online events, or product launches, live video is increasingly becoming a powerful marketing medium. Market makers like Amazon are one of the many brands taking advantage of live video campaigns. Voice search will become a rapidly growing frontier Voice technology like Alexa, Siri and Google used to be a novelty, but as of last year, more than 20% of mobile searches were voice activated. Brands such as Dominoes and Burger King have capitalized on the potential around voice activated marketing, such as the latter’s viral TV spot that asked Google Home devices what the Whopper burger was. Now, over 50% of post-millennials are utilizing voice search daily, meaning every brand has the potential to tap into this audience. Find out more about ViralBrand here.

Dr. Sahay Dr. Sahay has identified five crucial steps that are essential elements of a true hypoallergenic room certification that hotel management can use to reassure customers. Clearwater, Florida, March 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As the global travel and hospitality industries are still fighting for survival, having an exit strategy out of the pandemic is crucial. We are moving into a new phase that is looking ever more hopeful as a return to normality feels closer than ever. However, we’re not out of the woods just yet, and it’s important that respective industries take steps to make travelers and guests feel as safe as possible, reassuring consumers that the travel industry can be safe even at this stage of the pandemic. Those who succeed in enticing customers to a much-needed stay away from home, will be the ones that can assure guests their hotels are virus-free and safe. “Everyone focuses on the surfaces in a hotel room, but COVID-19 is an airborne virus,” says Dr. Rajiv Sahay, director of the Environmental Diagnostics Laboratory at Pure Air Control Services in Florida. “Hotel industry leaders who understand the importance of sanitizing the HVAC system as well as how to communicate it, are going to be the winners as consumers start traveling again in greater numbers.” Dr. Sahay has identified five crucial steps that are essential elements of a true hypoallergenic room certification that hotel management can use to reassure customers. Evaluate Indoor Air Quality Throughout the pandemic we have seen just how important air quality is in preventing the spread of Covid-19. We know that the virus dissipates more quickly in outdoor and well ventilated spaces, and that droplets can survive in aerosol form in the air. This is why it’s crucial to conduct a baseline environmental test as well as HVAC testing (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) to ensure the systems are operating properly and managing the right air quantities indoors to verify the building’s safety. Neutralize Pathogens A pathogen is any organism that causes disease. They can spread through skin contact, airborne particles, surfaces, bodily fluids and can cause illness once it finds a host body. Cleaning and air filtration in hotel rooms should include building disinfection using Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered disinfectants to neutralize all bacteria, mold and viruses, including coronavirus, prior to the facilities being certified as hypoallergenic (meaning unlikely to cause an allergic reaction).Clean and Restore HVAC Units Neglecting air conditioner unit maintenance will result in dirty air filters and reduced efficiency. It can cause allergen or mold buildups in the duct system that will be released into the air. It’s important that all HVAC units are hygienically cleaned with 350° F steam, and then restored with anti-microbial paint. To further reduce in-room particles, hygienically clean all supply and return ductwork with negative air machines with HEPA filtration. Also make sure that the fiberglass duct board is encapsulated to prevent degradation, which increases the longevity and is an alternative to replacement. Use Air Purification Technology Indoor air can have some pollutants up to five times higher than outdoors, and the most effective way to reduce this is an air purifier that uses detection technology and multi-stage HEPA filtration. HEPA stands for high efficiency particulate air, which works by forcing air through a fine mesh and traps particles that may be harmful. Also ensure that PURE-Plasma bi-polar ionization technology is installed for the continuous cleaning of the air to remove allergens, microbes, odors and particles. Monitor Conditions While taking all of these steps will hugely reduce the risk of viruses living in hotel rooms, it’s important that conditions are consistently monitored for changes. Conduct real time indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring of the building 24/7 for particles, temperature, rH, CO2 and VOC in order to maintain a certified hypoallergenic status. It will not only bring you peace of mind, but your customers. Find out more about Pure Air Control Services here. Dr. Sahay >> 8004227873 This news has been published for the above source.

Forecasting, analyzing and exploring new trends is a key part of any sales role, but throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, we have seen things change at a never-before-seen pace. One sales expert has taken the events of the last year and compiled it into a new book, sharing how we can turn a disastrous year into lessons and strategies. Cherilynn Castleman, managing partner and executive coach at CGI is a sales coach and internationally renowned sales expert. She also currently serves as the chief learning officer for Sistas In Sales, the first national organization that serves women of color in professional sales careers. Specializing in teaching clients how to develop effective growth strategies and market models to increase productivity and revenue, the Minnesota born professional has more than 20 years of enterprise C-level selling and relationship experience. The purpose of her training is to equip professionals and small business leaders to solve tough sales, while also teaching them about leadership and culture challenges. Castleman initially started out in a career in social work, but quickly realized that she needed sales skills to secure program funding. To refine her skills, she took a job selling life insurance door-to-door and quickly realized she had a real talent. Her success in the sales space snowballed and created numerous opportunities for advancement, eventually progressing to sales manager, vice president and general manager. In her general manager role, she oversaw profit-and-loss responsibilities and closed multi-million dollar deals in Asia, Central and South America, Europe and the United States. She has helped Fortune 500 clients scale to over $240 million in revenue as a global sales executive, and worked with clients including Johnson & Johnson, Salesforce, Pinterest, T-Mobile and LinkedIn. Now living in Washington, D.C, Castleman can be found cycling, kayaking, practicing yoga, and spending time with her two adult daughters and their families in her spare time. One of her most recent bonding activities with her daughter, Jálynn Castleman-Smith, was writing her book “What’s in the C.A.R.D.S.?: 5 Post-Pandemic Sales Strategies”. We may be turning a corner in regards to the pandemic, but as the economy continues to recover from a global recession, modern consumers have come to expect more out of their salespeople. Castleman’s forthcoming book aims to break down the lessons that have come out of the last year, highlighting that in 2021 and beyond, leading sales with empathy is key. At the core of the book’s lessons are five crucial competencies that salespeople need to leverage lived experiences and “everyday superpowers to create authentic connections, strengthen client relationships and drive exponential revenue growth”. The book has been praised by sales experts and CEOs alike for its innovative, memorable and masterful approach to sales. CEO of Urban Affairs Coalition Sharmain Matlock-Turner praised the book for its “simple yet powerful, hands-on techniques coupled with easy to remember lessons”, also excelling at reminding readers of the importance of “winning the hearts and minds of your clients”. Fortune 100 global speaker Christopher Kai described Castleman as a “true jedi master at sales strategy”, while Enterprise Cloud executive advisor Kuran Williams highlighted that the book is “relevant not just to sales professionals but to anyone who needs the keys to success”. Essentially, “What’s in the C.A.R.D.S.?” is about adaptability, flexibility and versatility, and “taking the sour lemons of 2020 and turning them into the best lemonade 2021 has to offer”. No matter what background readers are from, what challenges they may have faced or any obstacles, Castleman’s book intends to be a one-stop-shop for anyone who has lived experiences that they can channel into success. Contrary to popular belief, she argues that episodes of adversity and loss are not liabilities or permanent setbacks, but rather powerful assets to be utilized for unrivalled sales success. “What’s in the C.A.R.D.S.?: 5 Post-Pandemic Sales Strategies”, is due to be published February 18 2021.
