New State-of-the-Art Facility Fuses Consumer Strategy, Creativity and Culinary Technology
KANSAS CITY, Kan., March 26 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Food Business Resource has moved into a new and innovative 6,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility that now allows them to provide exciting and new offerings to food-based clientele to propel their brand's growth in the marketplace.
 Food Business Resource is in the business of helping primarily medium to large-sized food producers to achieve success and to make their food product concept a reality. They bring together food science and culinary arts to yield award-winning ideas to satisfy consumer needs.
"We are so excited to have this new space," Steffen Weck, Senior Managing Consultant for Food Business Resource, explained. "In addition to our traditional services, we are now able to provide clients with the benefit of consumer focus groups and sensory research to further enhance our product development and market research services. This new space has provided us with the ability to offer a much higher level of service and greater capability for successfully delivering a product to market."
The consumer focus groups add a qualitative aspect to the product development and market research that Food Business Resource is already known for. Food producers need to know what consumers want and this provides them with the opportunity to learn about how products will be (or not be) received in the market.
"With our new services, we are able to take the product from its infancy to the store," Weck added. "We truly do offer one-stop shopping to our clients."
Food Business Resource does whatever it takes to get the product to market. They will even find manufacturers to produce the product if that is a needed service. For example, a food producer may decide they want to get into the pretzel market, but do not have a manufacturer; Food Business Resource will find one.
Food Business Resource has been in business for more than 15 years. They are a unique multi-disciplinary resource, which offers both technical and business development services. This winning combination enables them to successfully meet the needs of their clients including: manufacturers, food service providers, retailers, entrepreneurs, distributors and suppliers.
"Our new facility includes a lab and test kitchen, and when coupled with the new consumer panels," Weck said, "we can take existing brands to new and exciting places with increased accuracy and precision."
Food Business Resource has pioneered innovation, launched category-defining products, managed major manufacturing facilities and retail outlets, operated private companies, led industry groups, and worked on some of the most recognized brand names in the world.

New Accounting Office Introduces New Approach to Tax Savings
Lisa Johnson, CPA Shows Business Owners How to Save Thousands in Taxes
DAPHNE, Ala., March 24 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Daphne CPA, Lisa Johnson has opened a new office in the Summit Office Complex (located at 29000 U.S. Hwy 98, Bldg C, Suite 102). Lisa helps business owners save thousands of dollars every year in taxes by providing proactive tax planning services. Her clients get a plain-English plan for beating the IRS - legally.
"I have a very different approach to saving money. I'm not a tax preparer. The tax return is a product of my planning," said Lisa Johnson. "My clients not only save money through tax planning, they also get a better handle on their businesses accounting. After all, we need a clean financial to plan to save on taxes. And business owners who have accurate financials also have the right tools to make financial decisions and grow their business."
"Now is the time to plan and save," says Johnson. "While it's true that I help make sure clients take advantage of every deduction and tax saving opportunity available on their 2007 returns, I can potentially save them thousands more by planning throughout the year so that they save more on their 2008 returns."
"Once a year tax planning is about to become a thing of the past. Just like Cinderella's carriage, at midnight on 12/31 each year, many opportunities to save turn into a pumpkin. That's because they require some action to be taken and documented before the end of the year. Through my planning services, I recommend specific strategies and concepts for saving tax. I give clients what they really want, a no nonsense approach to outline what to do and how to do it."

Kidsville News! Tops the Million Reader Mark
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C., March 17 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Literacy rocks! Just ask the million-plus young readers of Kidsville News! Ask their parents, who've been thrilled to discover that this children's newspaper makes kids eager to read and learn. Ask the educators nationwide, who have enthusiastically incorporated Kidsville News! as part of their schools' daily curriculum, using it to promote their own character education curriculum.
 Ask the publishers that have made Kidsville News! the nation's fastest growing children's newspaper, because it turns a profit virtually from the first issue.
And ask Bill Bowman, President of Kidsville News! Inc. During the recent 2008 Kidsville News! Publishers' Conference, Bowman revealed that circulation of Kidsville News! well exceeded the one million mark. He also announced that the publication is currently undergoing an audit by the Circulation Verification Council (CVC), which will validate circulation and distribution data and place Kidsville News! in the Standard Rates & Data Service (SRDS) directory for the first time.
"Our growth has been phenomenal," said Bowman, who launched the educational and literacy initiative in Fayetteville, NC in 1998. However, it wasn't until June 2005 that the publication became available for licensure nationwide. Since that time, it has grown from three editions, with a circulation of 80,000, to 100 editions, with a circulation of nearly 1.3 million, as of January 2008.
"In the last six months of 2007 alone, circulation grew by more than 66 percent," says Bowman, noting that the number of editions increased from 70 to 100 during that period, and circulation increased from 792,017 to 1,194,417.
What's more, the ongoing CVC audit of Kidsville News! indicates that actual readership is even higher than the circulation numbers. Readership survey results in one major market show that the average number of readers per edition is 1.7. Other significant audit results show that 60% of readers keep the monthly publication in their homes for one month or more, and less than 1% of Kidsville News! controlled bulk distribution is returned unclaimed. Income and education levels for reader-households are significantly higher than general market demographics.
Ranging from paid daily newspapers to free community/shopper publications and independents, the publishers of Kidsville News! are in 25 states, coast to coast. They include publishing groups such as CNHI, Freedom Communications, Morris Media, Landmark Communications, Triple Crown Media, and member publishers of Association of Free Community Papers, Independent Free Papers and more.
 What has made Kidsville News! the nation's fastest growing children's newspaper? Publishers have discovered how quickly and easily it generates profits. Because this free publication is so popular with a large target audience, it's also an easy sell to sponsors and advertisers. There are no franchise fees or long-term contracts to publish Kidsville News!, and the monthly publication is provided turnkey. Content can be used in its entirety or mixed with local stories. Appealing, high quality graphics are provided fully formatted or as individual elements for customized design.
Contributing to the popularity and fun of Kidsville News! is the publication's easy-to-use website and its friendly green dragon mascot, "Truman." This snaggle-toothed hero echoes the love-of-learning message and engenders the loyalty that makes kids Tru-blue readers.
To find out if Kidsville News! is still available for licensure in your area, contact the corporate headquarters Kidsville News!, Inc. at 1-877-4KVNEWS (458-6397) or visit online at www.kidsvillenews.com.
