ATLANTA, GA–(Marketwired – December 11, 2015) – On November 19, 2015, Gwinnett Business Radio welcomed to the studio Ryan Burton with Ryan Burton Music Group, Maria Mendillo with FarraTech and Al Simon with Sandler Training by Simon. Co-hosts Mike Sammond and Steven Julian sat down with these guests to explore each of their respective businesses and their contributions to the Atlanta business community.

Canadian/American entrepreneur, musician, songwriter and producer Ryan Burton founded the Ryan Burton Music Group in early 2015 as an independent record company that focuses on artists at the start of their career. Their goal is to record music that ignites imaginations. Ryan Burton Music Group is based around a desire to help new artists with great talent and little support.

Joining in the discussion was Maria Mendillo, President and CEO of FarraTech. Formerly known as Laser Supply & Service, FarraTech was founded in 1990 and is based in Norcross, GA. In 2007, FarraTech became an employee owned company when the founder, John Farra, decided to retire. Rather than sell the company to a third party, he gave it to his employees. FarraTech provides customer service for laser printer, copier, service or repair. FarraTech’s people, their focus on quality, and their dedication to doing business with integrity is what they care about and strive for daily.

Rounding out the conversation was Al Simon, President of Simon, Inc., an authorized Sandler Training Center. Sandler Training by Simon specializes in training and coaching in the areas of sales, leadership, sales management and customer service.

Midtown Business Radio Features Brooke Beach With Kevy – Business RadioX

December 10, 2015 by rhondachale

ATLANTA, GA–(Marketwired – December 10, 2015) – On November 24, 2015, Midtown Business Radio welcomed to the studio Brooke Beach with Kevy. Host CW Hall spoke with Beach about improving the e-commerce/direct marketing space.

Brooke Beach is the co-founder and CEO of Kevy, the only true email marketing automation platform built uniquely for e-commerce businesses. By combining order history and real-time behavior data, Kevy gives clients the ability to take action on insights and create personalized interactions with every shopper.

“To date, most email automation solutions such as Pardot, SalesForce, and others, focused on the B2B sector, helping businesses increase contact and ultimately, sales, with companies they’re trying to reach,” explained Beach. “And, while there have been marketing automation solutions available for B2C/Retail enterprises to similarly leverage email to contact customers to enhance sales, these solutions have traditionally offered limited data that would let that enterprise truly evaluate ROI on a per email basis in dollars and cents.”

The Kevy platform integrates with the clients’ existing e-commerce platform via java script that is embedded into the website code. Once there, it enables Kevy and the customer to track user behavior by where they go on the site, how long they stay, the products and types of products they’re viewing, and whether they buy. With this information, the retailer is able to display very behaviorally-relevant pop-up information that personalizes the experience and significantly increases conversion rates.

Additionally, the Kevy platform enables very user-specific automated email communications that are relevant to that user’s particular behavioral context. Combining these technologies results in a dramatic rise in sales from existing customers in the retailer’s database and the ability to get very targeted with discounts and marketing message.

To learn more about Beach and Kevy, listen to the entire interview on Midtown Business Radio.
