Sustainable PR Signs Bottled Water Distributor Promoting Naturally Sourced Water

GLENS FALLS, N.Y., Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — S ustainable PR, a new public relations agency based in New York’s…

GLENS FALLS, N.Y., Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — S ustainable PR, a new public relations agency based in New York’s Adirondack region and specializing in earned media content for green companies, announced it has been selected by Soho Waterworks™, a Brooklyn, N.Y.-based start-up water distributor, to promote the company’s line of naturally sourced fine waters to retailers and consumers nationwide.

Soho Waterworks engaged Sustainable PR to generate exposure for their line of naturally sourced bottled waters. The PR agency is developing a compelling company narrative and a national media strategy to help Soho Waterworks gain consumer and industry media coverage in the beverage industry. Thanks to Sustainable PR’s ability to target, engage and land stories with credible media, Soho Waterworks has become a company to watch in the booming sustainability market, which is projected to reach $28.9 billion by 2024. The start-up water company is being interviewed by influential trade media and is meeting with the nation’s largest retail companies.

Led by veteran PR practitioners, Sustainable PR is one of the only green-focused PR agencies offering earned media services to companies navigating the growing sustainability market. As the agency’s first client, Soho Waterworks represents the model customer Sustainable PR seeks to attract as the consultancy gains traction helping clients contribute to a green economy.

The Georgia Experiment Has Failed

ATLANTA, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — «The Georgia Experiment Has Failed,» says Matt Liistro of the Georgia Credit Repair Trade Association 501©.

<img src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1418537/Law_concept.jpg" title="Change…

ATLANTA, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — «The Georgia Experiment Has Failed,» says Matt Liistro of the Georgia Credit Repair Trade Association 501©.

More than a decade ago, the state of Georgia passed a law to make credit repair services illegal in the state unless, performed by a lawyer or a non-profit. It was a novel idea, as Georgia is the only state in the country that has such a law. The idea was simple. Protect consumers from all these horrible and despicable credit repair companies that scam hard working people out of their hard earned money. But – did it work?

For starters, let’s look at the original premise of the law, to protect Georgia consumers from scam credit repair companies. Have you ever heard of a scammer who was afraid to break a law – or even cared about the laws? The law just stopped legitimate and reputable credit repair companies from offering services in Georgia. Although the scam companies continue to prey on Georgia consumers to this day; reputable and legitimate credit repair services are not available in Georgia.

How have Georgia Consumers fared over the last decade with limited access to credit help? According to a recent 2018 study by Experian, Georgia is the 3^rd worst credit score in the country! My first thought when I looked at that figure was that maybe Georgia is just a poorer state and the residents don’t have a lot of income to pay their bills. After a quick Google search I found that Georgia is 29^th in the country for median income. Hmmm, a decent income yet very low credit scores could this be because Georgia Consumers do not have access to the same credit help that Consumers in every other state have access to?

Alright so Georgia has very low credit scores – what’s the big deal? For starters, it has affected Georgian’s ability to own a home. Georgia ranks 40^th in the country for homeownership rates according to the US Census Bureau. Fortieth is really even lower than it seems when you take into consideration some states that are very low because of high median home prices such as Hawaii with a median home price of $631,700, California with a median home price of $546,800, Massachusetts with a median home price of $400,700, and New York with a median home price of $325.000. Obviously, very expensive homes will make home ownership difficult. But with Georgia’s median home price sitting at a modest $188,900 why are Georgians having such a tough time acquiring home ownership? The answer is again those low credit scores which are keeping a significant percentage of Georgians from credit qualifying for home loans.

For comparison let’s look at Vermont which has a median income at number 21, a little better than Georgia’s 29^th. But Vermont has the 2^nd best credit scores in the country which has led to the 2^nd best homeownership rates in the country driving median home prices up (more buyers available) to $233,100. Another state to look at is Maine who ranks 24^th in median income as compared to Georgia’s 29^th. Maine however has the 13^th best credit score which has propelled it to number 6 in the homeownership rate and a median home price of $197,500.

Let’s look at a state with almost the same median income and median home price, Wisconsin. Wisconsin’s median home price is $188,500 virtually identical to Georgia’s $189,900 and a median income of 24^th on the list which is pretty close to Georgia’s 29^th. With those two similarities, the only difference is in the credit score where Wisconsin has the 7^th best in the country which has propelled them to number 20 on the homeownership index as opposed to Georgia’s 40^th.

Let’s look at a couple of other states who have lower income and credit scores and see how they rank on the homeownership scale. South Carolina is 43^rd on the list of median income – substantially poorer than Georgia, with average credit scores that are the 7^th worst in the country which are pretty close to Georgia’s 3^rd worst. So how did South Carolina fare on the homeownership index – pretty well, coming in at 12^th! So how did South Carolina do it? The answer is simple with a median home price of $170,800. In this example if Georgia wants to increase its homeownership rate like South Carolina, it could do so by a decline in the median home price which no one wants! Another example of this is Alabama. Alabama has the 46^th worst income, tied Georgia for the 3^rd worst credit score, yet still came in 16^th in home ownership by having an extremely low median home price of $147,900.

Is Georgia right and the other 49 states in the country wrong? Should Credit Repair be illegal unless you are a nonprofit or an attorney? I don’t think so. I feel that many other states have done the right thing and allowed reputable credit repair companies to operate in accordance with the Federal Law: The Credit Repair Organizations Act which was devised and implemented by the Federal government to regulate Credit Service Organization.

Georgia has tried the «experiment» of making credit repair illegal in the hopes of protecting Georgian consumers but it has backfired. Georgians are suffering from low credit scores which has hurt them when it comes to things like home ownership.

5WPR Releases 2021 Consumer Culture Report

NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — 5W Public Relations (5WPR), one of the largest independently-owned PR firms in the U.S., has released their second annual report which looks at consumer spending culture and the biggest influences behind buying behaviors. Insights help brands tap into consumer’s wants, understand patterns, concentrate resources on trending areas, and connect brands with appropriate target audiences. This year’s areas of research include pandemic spending habits, e-commerce, impulse behaviors, social media use and influencers, brand loyalty, and the increasingly large role Gen Z is playing in consumer culture.

The pandemic has proven to be the greatest influence on consumer behaviors, and the report reveals just how much change has taken place. The average consumer is now spending more than half an hour longer per day online shopping than they did before the outbreak of Covid-19. Gen-Z proves to be the most susceptible to e-commerce with 45% of the generation increasing their time online shopping up to four hours a day, followed closely by 44% of Millennials.

«This past year the consumer industry has been transformed in an unimaginable way,» says 5WPR President Dara A. Busch. «The behavioral learnings uncovered in the Consumer Culture Report help to give context to these changes. Many traditional practices and messaging no longer reflect the modern consumer, or their new normal. The results of this research have revealed key takeaways for a path forward.»

On the digital side, the report looks at social media and the platforms currently holding the greatest influence over consumers. When it comes to spending, 46% of respondents across all age groups have purchased a product they saw on social media, a 10% increase from 2020, and almost a fifth of all Instagram users have purchased a product directly from a brand’s profile. However, on average, consumer’s impulse purchases have dropped from 50% to 38% in the last year, illustrating the need for a strategic approach when advertising on social platforms.

This year’s research also shines a spotlight on Gen Z consumers, who boast a combined spending power of $150 billion. Almost 80% of Gen Z shoppers somewhat or strongly agree that online shopping allows them to buy products from a small or new company they may not find in stores, however, half of them still prefer finding new products in-store to finding them online. While e-commerce reigns supreme another year, these findings suggest hope for retail on the other side of the pandemic.

«The interest of young consumers, specifically Gen Z, will determine the industries that can expect growth in 2021,» says 5WPR Founder and CEO, Ronn Torossian. «Being among the most vocal and socially active, connecting with Gen Z will be an important relationship for brands looking to emerge into a struggling market. Furthermore, markets where this generation shows interest, will launch trends we can expect to see carry on through the year.»

When it comes to brand loyalty, the research reveals Gen Z and consumers aged 55+ the most vocal. While Gen Z is the most adamant in their beliefs that companies they buy from align with their values, with 56% somewhat or strongly agreeing, those aged 55 and up are the least forgiving and most likely to boycott a company entirely because of their stance on an issue. The research also reveals Gen Z is the age group most interesting in buying products that show off their political beliefs.

5WPR’s Second Annual Consumer Culture Report is now available on the 5W website. Download the report for a deeper look into public relations, branding, marketing, social media, and influencer insights for the year ahead.

As a leading consumer PR firm, and an award-winning digital agency, 5WPR is committed to being a trailblazer in the industry and providing clients with the most up-to-date insights. The information gathered from the report will guide strategy, planning, and execution of consumer and digital client campaigns in the upcoming year.

5WPR’s 2021 Consumer Culture Report was conducted by Censuswide, with 2,000 respondents aged 16+ in the USA between 14.09.20-18.09.20. The survey was conducted from a nationally representative of American adults. Censuswide abides by and employs members of the Market Research Society which is based on the ESOMAR principles.

Epicurean Atlanta To Bring Culinary Adventure To Midtown

ATLANTA, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Enviably situated in the heart of Atlanta’s Midtown neighborhood at 1117 West Peachtree Street, Epicurean Atlanta will open its doors late Summer 2021 to reveal an elegant, urban-chic hotel that pulses with the city’s modern energy. «Atlanta has always been a hub for cultural immersion that spans art, renowned design, education and culinary talent,» says Mainsail Lodging & Development founder Joe Collier. «We want to embed ourselves in the local landscape and breathe more life into the fabric of the city.»

Epicurean Atlanta is the second location of the Epicurean Hotel brand, the first of which was a collaboration between Mainsail Lodging & Development and the legendary Bern’s Steak House in Tampa, Fl. Founded in 1956 by husband-and-wife restaurateurs Bern and Gert Laxer, and now helmed by their son David, Bern’s Steak House is world-renowned for their exceptional cuisine, use of fresh, quality ingredients, and their extensive wine cellar featuring more than half a million bottles. Epicurean Atlanta is a natural extension of this commitment to excellence, creating a fully-immersive experience that celebrates the teaching of its namesake, Epicurus. The hotel occupies one of three towers located in the 1105 West Peachtree property by Selig Development, with the 31-story office tower and the luxury 64-unit condo tower all connected by a Sky Terrace. Epicurean Atlanta is a member of Marriott International’s Autograph Collection.

Atlanta-based architectural and interior design firm Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio was commissioned to oversee the hotel’s design and bring this extraordinary vision to life. The project’s interior will reflect an urban foodie and wine lovers’ paradise, with the design showcasing swanky finishes and modern style. Upon entering the 178 guest rooms, which includes 22 spacious suites, guests will notice special nods to the city that call attention to the history around them. An array of art and mixed media was specially curated to highlight Atlanta’s most-beloved landmarks, including dining destinations like Sweet Auburn Market and Ponce City Market, giving way to the hotel’s eclectic and personalized feel. Aside from the local cues, design elements pull inspiration from the hotel’s deep-rooted culinary connection with organic tones and textures. Hanging just below the ceiling in the Grand Cru Ballroom, guests will find three-dimensional wooden art installations reminiscent of an entanglement of apple branches, paying homage to Georgia’s extensive apple production. Every design element has been carefully planned with thoughtful attention to detail, tying together the culinary threads of Atlanta with the hotel’s brand values.

Epicurean Atlanta will offer discerning travelers and locals alike unparalleled amenities for all tastes and appetites. The Epicurean Theatre presents guests the opportunity to watch, learn, experience, and create with award-winning chefs, star mixologists, buzzworthy winemakers and talented artists to bring their inner connoisseur to life. The 1,964-square foot theatre will be equipped with a state-of-the-art kitchen via a partnership with Sub-Zero and Wolf to provide the ultimate playground for culinary discovery. The immersive and exhilarating space will also feature multiple 86″ LED TVs with space to accommodate up to 100 attendees. The cutting-edge venue also acts as a customizable event space with an emphasis on versatility, offering teleconferencing and hybrid meeting capabilities. The one-acre Sky Terrace is a one-of-a-kind destination in Atlanta, acting as the epicenter of the vertical development. Located on the ninth floor, this lush outdoor getaway will feature a café, a resort-style swimming pool with temperature-controlled cabanas, and an events lawn. This modern space will sweep guests off their feet with its city views and extravagant charm, creating a picturesque venue.

With over two decades of hospitality management expertise, award-winning business strategist Marc Bauer was brought on as General Manager of the hotel. Bauer has led multiple properties across the Southeast in a variety of roles, achieving unprecedented operating revenue growth, orchestrating million-dollar renovations, and increasing team retention rates, all while winning coveted regional and national awards along the way.
