Did COVID-19 Prompt Moving? United Van Lines Reveals Customer Motivations For Moving During The Pandemic

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — United Van Lines, the nation’s largest household goods mover, today announced new findings about customer moving motivations and patterns amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings, determined from a post-move customer survey conducted between March and August 2020, revealed the leading contributing factors in customers’ decisions to move and indicated that the pandemic’s influence on their decisions has increased over time.

…

Among customers who cited COVID-19 as an influence on their move, the top four most common factors associated with COVID-19 were:

Concerns for personal and family health and wellbeing;
Desires to be closer to family;
Changes in employment status or work arrangement (including the ability to work remotely);
Desires for lifestyle change or improvement of quality of life.

Additionally, the survey found that movers influenced by COVID-19 were more likely to expedite their move (64%) than movers not influenced by the pandemic (9.6%).

«As the nation’s largest mover of household goods, United Van Lines’ customer migration data distinctively signals broader national moving trends,» said United Van Lines CEO Marc Rogers. «Our data provides valuable insights into what tens of thousands of Americans are experiencing and considering when moving in 2020.»

Verbatim testimonials from individual customers further solidify the challenges and changes in priorities for moving brought on by the pandemic. One customer shared, «The slower pace of life brought on by COVID-19 caused us to re-evaluate what was important to our family. We wanted to be closer to our extended family and friends.» Another said, «I could not find a job where I was because many places were not hiring due to COVID. I had to expand my search to out of state.»

And others are taking advantage of remote working making it easier to move. As one customer said, «Given the remote environment and projected vision of remote working condition, our family opted to move out of the city to a beach location with a smaller footprint and less stressful (and) busy community.» Additional verbatim customer testimonials can be found on the United Van Lines website.

According to the findings, there was an overall nationwide decline in moving requests from March to May 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. In particular, interstate move requests were lower in March 2020 (26% decrease) and April 2020 (31% decrease) than 2019 data. However, moving interest in September 2020 is notably higher than the previous year (32% increase) — indicating a shifting peak moving season, which typically occurs in late spring and early summer.

The findings also revealed higher outbound move requests from New York City and San Francisco as compared to nationwide averages. While outbound move requests from New York were down 1% from the national average in April 2020, outbound interest from the state jumped to 55% above the average in May 2020. At the end of August 2020, outbound move requests from New York were 52% higher than the national average. In San Francisco, outbound move requests have steadily increased from 3% above the national average in July 2020 to 128% by the beginning of September.

«In the past several months, United Van Lines has not only seen shifting moving patterns due to the pandemic, but also listened to our customers to better understand their moving motivations and meet their needs throughout the moving process,» said Rogers. «We are committed to ensuring the safety of each of our moving customers, which is why we provide options to our customers such as virtual surveys and containerized moves through our Snapmoves program.»

From March to August 2020, the top outbound states, defined by the highest percentages of moves where COVID was a contributing factor in leaving the state, were the following:

Washington, D.C.
New York
Nevada
Oregon
Delaware
California
Minnesota
Massachusetts
Florida
Washington

The top inbound states — those where COVID was a contributing factor in choosing to migrate to the state — were:

Vermont
North Dakota
Connecticut
Montana
Michigan
Arkansas
Oregon
Massachusetts
Ohio
Utah

UniGroup, parent company of United Van Lines, continuously fields a post-move survey with customers within five days following their move. The findings shared here are drawn from data collected among more than 6,000 United Van Lines and Mayflower customers who moved between March 1 – August 31, 2020.

Aerospace & Defense Industry Veterans Partner to Help Vital Suppliers

LUMBERVILLE, Pa., Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Let’s face it, as passengers stop traveling, and customers defer delivery of new aircraft, COVID-19 has devastated the Aerospace Industry. Capital intensive aircraft manufacturers and their suppliers confront catastrophic cash flow and liquidity headwinds that threaten to bankrupt vital suppliers.

Meanwhile, innovative companies like Intelleges, with their supplier collaboration and communication platform, are poised to take advantage of the current situation. Intelleges provides large scale OEMs with software that provides a private exchange where BUYERS and SUPPLIERS can communicate and collaborate in real-time.

When Purchase Orders are delayed, or more likely, canceled, BUYERS can assist suppliers in offloading Raw Materials via platforms like Intelleges. For many suppliers, this is their only lifeline, and it could not come any sooner. Suppliers cannot afford to have all of their cash tied up in raw materials inventory without any demand from their current customers. That stuff needs to be offloaded.

Intelleges has teamed up with globally networked raw materials suppliers like MoovInv that can quickly absorb excess raw material inventory and also provide raw materials when purchase orders are delayed.

Barry Neighbors, an industry veteran and one of the founders of the Supplier Excellence Alliance (SEA), says, «this makes total sense. It provides a release valve, whereby key suppliers can be helped when purchase orders are canceled, and also can help when purchase orders are delayed. Aircraft makers will continue to face cash-flow shortages, production challenges, and cascading effects throughout the supply chain that may weaken the industrial base that supports complex manufacturing. If companies are concerned about keeping their suppliers in business, I can’t imagine a better way than working with the Intelleges platform and the MoovInv Raw Materials network. It is the one-two punch that can help right now.»

Jacques Ouellet, CEO of MoovInv, says, «Hey, we are here to help. We have to do more as an industry to help smaller suppliers. There is no reason why they should be stuck with unwanted raw materials inventory. We can help them find a buyer for that inventory much faster than they would be able to on their own. Many companies are going out of business because during COVID, purchase orders and long-term contracts have been canceled, and they are essentially holding excess raw materials inventory. We can help them.»

Intelleges CEO, John Betancourt, agrees, «MoovInv is a great partner. They are one of the good guys. They are there to help, and we make it possible with our platform. Together we combine greater supply chain visibility and access to real-time assistance. Today, when time is of the essence, it can make a difference in terms of assisting supply chain participants who are having a hard time. Everybody has to work together.»

If the Aerospace Industry is going to remain healthy and survive after COVID – 19, everyone has to work together. Applications that help BUYERS and SUPPLIERS communicate and collaborate, and companies that can BUY/SELL raw materials are part of that industry-wide solution. The fact that these two companies allied indicates just how quickly Aerospace is transforming and directing efforts to help maintain a healthy and viable supply chain.

New Mercedes-Benz strategy announced – targeting structurally higher profitability

STUTTGART, Germany, Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ —

…

STUTTGART, Germany, Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ —

New Mercedes-Benz strategy for the car business unveiled today at a virtual investor and analyst conference.
The new strategy will enhance the Mercedes-Benz brand’s luxury status, raise the product portfolio’s positioning and mix, pursue significant growth for sub-brands AMG, Maybach, G and EQ and accelerate the development of electric drive and car software.
Mercedes-Benz confirms its full commitment to electrification across all products and segments, unveils new dedicated electric architectures, and announces multiple new electric product launches.
Four all-new electric vehicles on new large EVA architecture set for launch from 2021.
New electric products coming for AMG, Maybach and G.
New «Electric first» MMA platform in development for compact and medium sized cars.
Expanded cost reduction plans unveiled that will drive down capex, R&D and fixed costs in absolute terms and will improve the industrial footprint.
Financial ambitions sharpened: lowering break-even point, targeting higher profitability and strong cash conversion rate.

Mercedes-Benz has announced a new strategic course that will pursue profitable growth in the luxury segment and target leadership in electric drive and car software. «In recent years we have done many things right: design, product engineering, brand rejuvenation, sales growth. As a result, we have put Mercedes back on top again. But we have not yet lived up to our full potential in terms of turning volume success into profit growth. That’s why we have refocused and are launching our new strategy. We intend to build the world’s most desirable cars. It’s about leveraging our strengths as a luxury brand to grow economic value and enhancing the mix and positioning of our product portfolio. We will unlock the full potential of our unique sub-brands – AMG, Maybach, G and EQ. Our strategy is designed to avoid non-core activities to focus on winning where it matters: dedicated electric vehicles and proprietary car software. We will take action on structural costs, target strong and sustained profitability,» said Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG at a virtual investor and analyst conference titled «Mercedes-Benz Strategy Update» on October 6, 2020. Källenius also said «with this new strategy we are announcing our clear commitment to the full electrification of our product portfolio and our determination to ensure the business is fully carbon-neutral, in line with our Ambition 2039 target.»

The new Mercedes-Benz strategy is a comprehensive program that has been designed to power the company forward technologically and financially. It has six pillars:

Think and act like a luxury brand
Luxury has always been part of the soul of Mercedes-Benz. Going forward, the brand will see a renewed focus on luxury, making it an integral part of all products, customer interactions and digital technologies. Mercedes-Benz will reshape its product portfolio, brand communications and its sales network to deliver a true luxury experience – a luxury experience that will be electric, software-driven and sustainable.

Focus on profitable growth
Mercedes-Benz will take actions to improve and recalibrate its market strategy. These will focus on optimizing the balance between volume, price and channel mix to ensure improved contribution margins from the current and future portfolio. Mercedes-Benz will also focus its product development resources and capital on the most profitable parts of the market and the segments in which it competes, in order to ensure structurally higher profitability.

Expand costumer base by growing sub-brands
Mercedes-Benz is the most valuable luxury car brand in the world, according to Interbrand. It will remain the guiding star. But Mercedes-Benz also has extraordinary sub-brands: AMG, Maybach, G and EQ. The new strategy will take them to the next level – accelerating their development, with clear and targeted plans to unlock their potential and drive substantial incremental EBIT growth.

AMG is set for the next level with high-performance electrification, starting in 2021. Its links with Formula 1 will also intensify next year, to reflect its identity as Mercedes’ high performance sub-brand. Maybach will pursue global opportunities, doubling in size and going electric. The demand for the legendary G is ahead of current capacity. The legend will grow, and will electrify. With the EQ brand, Mercedes-Benz will address a new audience with progressive high-technology products, built on dedicated electric architectures.

Embrace costumers and grow recurrent revenues
Mercedes-Benz is committed to fostering life-long relationships with its customers. The aim is for customers to love owning a Mercedes-Benz and to be so satisfied by the relationship that they stay with the brand for a long-time, ideally forever. Now, Mercedes-Benz will aim for even stronger loyalty, higher repeat purchases and rapid growth in recurrent revenues – from services and parts and also increasingly from Over-the-Air (OTA) updates and subscription services. The growing number of connected cars provides very significant revenue opportunities in the future, as the Mercedes-Benz fleet will reach 20 million fully connected vehicles in total by 2025.

Lead in electric drive and car software
Mercedes-Benz is aiming to take the lead in electric drive and car software with ambitious product development targets and the accelerated introduction of new technology. As part of its «Electric First» strategy, Mercedes-Benz has announced four all-new electric vehicles based on its upcoming large-car Electric Vehicle Architecture (EVA). The EQS luxury sedan is the first representative of this new dedicated architecture and will reach the market in 2021 with an electric range of more than 700 km (WLTP). It will be followed by the EQE, the EQS-SUV and the EQE-SUV. In addition, AMG, Maybach and G will go electric. From 2025, multiple further models will be added to the electric vehicles portfolio on the second all-new dedicated electric platform, the Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture (MMA) designed for compact and medium-sized cars.

Mercedes-Benz will shift even more of its product development resources and expertise to electric drive, and will invest in new technologies and concepts to accelerate electric range and efficiency. The next generation of eMotors are developed in house and will feature sophisticated inverter and high voltage technology. The company is making huge strides in battery technology – with in-house battery R&D complimented by close partnerships with key strategic partners CATL, Farasis and Sila Nano. New materials and production processes will increase range, reduce charging time and cost.

Mercedes-Benz also announced an exciting next step in electric vehicle development today, with the Vision EQXX technology program. The aim is to build an electric vehicle with spectacular efficiency and range. Mercedes-Benz has tasked its engineering group with pushing the boundaries of electric range and efficiency with a cross-functional, multi-disciplinary team based in Stuttgart, supported by specialists from the Mercedes-Benz F1 HPP group in the UK, who bring expertise in eMotors plus motorsport-inspired development speed. While Vision EQXX is a technology program, it is expected to result in innovations that will quickly make their way into series production cars.

In the area of car software, Mercedes-Benz has announced its own proprietary MB.OS operating system. This will be developed in-house and is scheduled for launch in 2024. It will allow Mercedes-Benz to centralize the control of all the vehicles’ domains and also its consumer interfaces. Proprietary software development will allow greater speed and more frequent updates, and will be designed around scalable architectures that will control future development costs.

«At Mercedes-Benz, we strive for nothing less than taking the lead in electric drive and car software. We will do this with an intelligent electric platform strategy and a proprietary software development approach,» said Markus Schäfer, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG, responsible for Daimler Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars COO. «We are going to do it the Mercedes way, bringing a true luxury experience to the world of electric and connected cars. We will leverage in-house technology development and strategic partnerships to deliver superb products. And from 2025 on, we are targeting strong contribution margins for all new architectures thanks to high commonality and controlled investment, and ongoing falls in the cost of battery systems. While we will expand the electrified portfolio towards a share of more than 50% of global sales by 2030, our investments in combustion engine development will decline quickly and the number of combustion engine variants will fall by 70% by 2030.»

Lower cost base and improve industrial footprint
Mercedes-Benz will improve its profitability and cash generation and take actions to prepare for the future and to accelerate the transition to electric drive. 2020’s events have confirmed that the company’s break-even point is too high and, with the transformational challenges ahead, further actions will be needed. Mercedes-Benz will therefore take significant new steps to reduce the cost base and improve the industrial footprint in the period to 2025.

Fixed costs will be cut by more than 20% by 2025 in absolute terms compared to the 2019 baseline, via reduced spending, capacity adjustments and lower personnel costs. Capex and R&D expenditure are also set to decrease by more than 20% by 2025 compared to 2019. Variable costs will be reduced by 1% net per annum compared to the level of 2019 during the period until 2025, including increased and prolonged savings targets for material costs. This target excludes the effects of a higher xEV mix.

The new Mercedes-Benz strategy and its financial ambitions
With its refocused approach, the new Mercedes-Benz strategy should deliver an improvement in commercial performance via better mix and pricing, an improved product portfolio and growth in recurrent revenues. These developments, when combined with the substantial actions on costs and industrial footprint, should drive a structurally higher level of profitability. By 2025, Mercedes-Benz AG is aiming for a return on sales (RoS) level within a mid to high single-digit range, even under unfavorable market conditions. The company’s ambition is to achieve a double-digit margin in a strong market environment.

«We are set for profitable growth. Additionally we have initiated comprehensive measures to bring down the breakeven point in order to right-size our company and our operations. All measures together are designed to make our business weatherproof, address the challenges of the transformation and lead to solid profitability levels even in rough weather, with significant upside in favorable market conditions,» said Harald Wilhelm, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, responsible for Finance & Controlling/Daimler Mobility, and of Mercedes-Benz AG, responsible for Finance & Controlling.

«The foundation of our new strategy is our highly qualified and motivated team. All of us at Mercedes-Benz are determined to deliver on our ambitions. We will build the world’s most desirable cars. That’s our mission, that’s what we want to deliver to our customers. We will make a leap forward in technology. We will invest where we can win, grow more intelligently, and reshape our industrial footprint. As a result, we will be able to improve profitability and lift shareholder value,» said Källenius.

Condé Nast Traveler Readers Vote Chicago As Best Large City For Fourth Consecutive Year

CHICAGO, Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Condé Nast Traveler announced today that Chicago was voted the best large city in the United States in its annual Readers’ Choice Awards. Chicago was first voted «Best Large City» in 2017, repeating the selection in 2018, 2019 and has now won for a fourth year in a row for 2020, a first in the history of the category.

«This never-before-seen, four-time accomplishment is truly a testament to the resilience and rich diversity of our City,» said Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot. «Despite the challenges that COVID-19 has presented, our communities and businesses found innovative ways to strengthen our recovery efforts while still giving residents and visitors access to all our great City has to offer. I want to thank the entire team at Condé Nast Traveler and its readers for honoring Chicago with this award for yet another year and I look forward to safely welcoming people from near and far as we continue to reopen.»

Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry. More than 715,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers participated in the voting period from April through June, submitting tens of thousands of responses rating their travel experiences to provide a full snapshot of where they travel and what they enjoy.

«This validates the great momentum and tourism growth we’ve seen pre-COVID, the authenticity and allure of Chicago’s dynamic tourism and hospitality community that is second to none, and Choose Chicago’s sustained focus on elevating the city’s value proposition to both business and leisure travelers,» said Glenn Eden, chair of Choose Chicago’s Board of Directors. «It also shows that we have a very endearing popularity with this group of seasoned travelers and continue to check all of the boxes for what matters most to them when visiting a big city. I couldn’t be more proud of this unprecedented acknowledgement and its reassurance that people will continue to come back as the city continues to reopen in a safe and responsible way.»

The award comes as Chicago and the city’s partners are reimagining what it means to travel and convene. In these unusual times, the trust that visitors place in a destination when they choose to book a trip is the greatest vote of confidence. This year, the voices of Condé Nast Traveler’s readers are more important than ever, because they are a reflection of what they value most out of their travel experiences.

«For Chicago to be voted as best big city to visit by the savvy and knowledgeable readers of Condé Nast Traveler is in itself significant, not to mention the incredible honor of four consecutive years,» said David Whitaker, President & CEO of Choose Chicago. «We have seen these past few months how much people miss traveling, and this recognition simply reinforces how vitally important the connection between travelers and their destinations is and the incredible potential Chicago offers. As we welcome visitors back, it is even more important that we welcome them back responsibly; all the while sharing with them the experiences that have resulted in achieving this recognition the past four years.»

In spite of the challenges 2020 has presented to date, the city and its partners united earlier this year to continue offering visitors a fulfilling experience. This past spring, Choose Chicago launched Tourism & Hospitality Forward, an initiative to spur the city’s tourism industry and a broader economic recovery.

This alliance of over 250 local tourism, hospitality, meeting and event-related organizations worked together to establish best practices and safety measures for the health and safety of residents, visitors and business travelers alike in advance of the phased reopening of cultural institutions, hotels, attractions and restaurants at the start of the summer.

French Wine Demystified is perfect for the wine lover who is looking to start their journey of French wine fluency. Those interested in an easy step-by-step guide to learning about French wine are left with few engaging and easy to follow options. French Wine Explorers responds to the need for a foundation program with the course French Wine Demystified. It is also a great option for those who are unable to travel to the various regions covered in the course, yet desire to learn more about French wine.

In discussing her new foray into the world of online classes and what she hopes to impart, Bernasse says, «Our mission is to help wine lovers become connoisseurs. This course is the start of their journey to enjoying and communicating more confidently about French wine. If you want to grow your knowledge of French wine, culture, food, and history in a way that is easy to digest, fun, and relevant, this is the course for you.»

Those who complete French Wine Demystifies will:

Master the most important French wine terms, and how to pronounce them.
Appreciate the subtle nuances of Champagne beyond the big labels.
Discover how French white wines are easy to choose and which one is the most food friendly, no-fail choice!
Dig into the iconic French red wines and learn about great values including the fool proof French varietal that will guarantee success every time.
Uncover how to order wine in a restaurant without breaking the bank or regrets.
Try easy and reliable food pairings and recipes for French wines.
Enjoy online meetings as a shared community and make new connections with other wine lovers.
Test out newfound skills with easy and fun activities to share new skills with friends and family.

Bernasse will walk you through each of the units offering easy to digest information with fun activities and bonus materials. She’ll impart what she’s learned in her years of developing superior wine tours to France.

Bernasse started working in the travel industry in 2000 after leaving a corporate career that left her uninspired. Taking a leap of faith, she started her career at two of the first internet-based cruise retailers, then moved on to gain experience with a small niche tour operator and a brick and mortar travel agency. In 2007 Bernasse and her husband, Pierre, acquired French Wine Explorers, a boutique tour operator specializing in luxury wine vacations in France and Italy.

For the past nine years Bernasse has been featured as a Condé Nast «Top Travel Specialist» for her expertise. Bernasse earned this reputation by providing exceptional immersive tours with memorable experiences. Her success is due to her insider’s knowledge and relationships with the top estates and guides in France. Daughter of a French native, Bernasse spent summers in France and received part of her college education and professional experience there. All this time spent in France has allowed her to have a deep perspective that she shares with clients.
