Developed through a partnership between Accelitech, local physicians and Swedish Covenant Hospital, the destination center will provide state-of-the-art CyberKnife treatment to patients from Chicago and beyond. This will be the first CyberKnife center within the Chicago city limits and will feature the latest technology of its kind in the region.

CyberKnife is a radiosurgery system that delivers non-surgical treatments for a broad range of tumors anywhere in the body. A non-invasive procedure (despite its name), CyberKnife treats tumors with extreme accuracy and intense precision, allowing types of cancer once considered inoperable or surgically complex to be treated safely and effectively.

“With this and every project, our goal is always to bring new technology to patients who need it most, so we’re very excited to add our Chicago site to a rapidly growing network of Accelitech CyberKnife centers,” says Kerwin Brandt, CEO of Accelitech. “With eight locations and growing, we believe we are the largest and fastest private developer of CyberKnife centers in the country.”

We’re very excited too, because Accelitech recently tagged Bee-line Communications to be its agency of record and official marketing partner. In the coming months, we’ll be working closely with them on B2B and B2C strategy, as well as copywriting, design, digital development and print collateral. Be sure and stay tuned for more updates from the great new client, and for more information about Accelitech’s services, please visit accelitech.biz.

Sadly, according to research, the majority of those 27 million SMBs are extremely dissatisfied with their marketing—especially when it comes to knowing what they should do and what they should get for their spend.  Worse, there is a substantial amount of uncertainty, anxiety and fear that bubbles to the surface at the mere mention of the word “marketing” to many of them.

“The packing event has become an annual tradition that everyone looks forward to,” says Bee-line CEO Stacey McClenathan. “Feed My Starving Children is an amazing organization, and [Holy Cross] Pastor Bob [Davis] does an amazing job of rallying the entire Lake County community to support them.”

Hairnets and helping hands: Bee-line staffers at the 2011 FMSC packing event.

In today’s social media landscape, too many companies benchmark themselves against their competitors by how many fans they have. But that’s only half the story. The real question they should be asking is: “Do more ‘likes’ increase my bottom line?”

With many of our clients in planning mode for 2012, we’re encouraging them to look at their social media strategy not as a volume game, but as a quality and engagement game. How are they engaging their customers? What are they doing as a result of that engagement? And, most importantly, how is it translating into sales?

Here are a few ways we’re approaching social media strategy with our clients:

• Spend quality time reaching influential customers. Not celebrities, but real consumers who influence others around them with their buying behavior and decisions.
• Professionally produce your social media content with clear calls-to-action. All social media content is not created equal. Contracting an agency to professionally plan your social media can help to ensure that messaging and calls-to-action on Facebook and Twitter are as clear and strong as in other collateral.
• Be prepared to market in the moment. Engaging with your consumers when industry or product news is top-of-mind is a proactive approach that can be much more effective than shooting in the dark. For instance, if Kim Kardashian’s divorce is trending and you are a divorce attorney, that’s an excellent opportunity—and one that could be fun!
• Decide what success needs to look like for your social media efforts. What are you hoping it accomplishes? What tactics will you use to get there? Are they aligned? Do they make sense?

Whether you are a B2C or B2B company, your customers spend time online—and that means you need to spend time there too. Be smart about it, or contact us and we’ll help make sure your efforts get the return on investment you’re looking for.

 “At its core, ICG provides liquidity solutions,” says Bee-line CEO Stacey McClenathan. “We wanted to visually reflect that idea of liquidity in their new web look. We took their existing map logo and gave it a new spin, and wove in elements of it throughout.”

To help drive traffic to the new website and raise awareness about ICG’s new products and services, the company also kicked off a new awareness campaign, “The ICG Effect.” Banner ads will initially run on www.thejackbshow.com and www.OTCmarkets.com and will eventually expand to other media outlets that are highly visible to C-suite corporate executives.

“We’re very proud of our investment solutions and the partnerships that are borne of them,” says Todd Bergeron, ICG’s Chief Operating Officer. “’The new web look and ad campaign are fresh ways to talk about those investments. We have the available capital, deep market experience and trading resources to really be a game-changer for companies and individuals worldwide—and now we have terrific new ways to communicate that message to them.”

To see ICG’s new look for yourself, go to www.internationalcapitalgroup.com.

International Capital Group
International Capital Group is a private global investment company that capitalizes publicly traded small and micro-cap companies and investors through the acquisition of corporate debt, corporate financing solutions and lending against securities. Since 2000, ICG’s management team has executed hundreds of investments across the industry spectrum in more than a dozen countries, totaling approximately US$1 billion of value.

ICG is currently reaching out to broker-dealers and investment bankers who have relationships with small- and micro-cap companies that are in need of debt financing solutions. To contact an ICG representative, visit www.internationalcapitalgroup.com. 

“Their idea was definitely resonating with their audience of restaurateurs, chefs and GMs,” says Stacey McClenathan, CEO of Bee-line.”But their branding had a long way to go. Just having the word ‘cost’ in their name was so loaded with negativity—especially in an industry that deals with notoriously tight margins.”

OrderUp is the brainchild of long-time Chicago-area restaurateurs Bill Stavrou and Dean Stojka, who wanted to find a way to empower restaurants to combat ever-rising food prices and improve price transparency among purveyors. OrderUp’s software automates the inventory and ordering process while allowing comparison shopping between multiple purveyors that can cut a restaurant’s procurement costs by as much as 2-8% annually. Restaurateurs can track their own inventory, identify the best quality food item at the lowest price and place a single order to multiple purveyors from any laptop, desktop, tablet or smartphone.

“We knew how we could save restaurants time and money,” says Stavrou. “We just didn’t know how to communicate it. With Stacey and Bee-line on our side, we hope to be in every kitchen in America.”

How can interruption be prevented? Simple: review your hosting provider. Many websites of popular IT services offer cheap hosting packages to entice customers. Third-party hosting may be inexpensive, but it can lead to much higher costs down the road. Remember the old saying, “You get what you pay for?”

One common reason that interruptions occur is that hackers gain access to the servers which host your company’s website. The big IT service providers host thousands of websites on a single server, making them very attractive to hackers because they can do a lot of damage with little work. As a site owner, you have no control over the server’s security settings—even though they directly affect the access to your site. And if your site’s files are corrupted by hackers, you’ll be the one to incur the expense of the IT professional who fixes it—not the third-party host.

There is a solution: acquire your own server and house it in a co-location facility. The hard cost may be slightly higher per month, but the long-term savings and security could turn out to be priceless. Here are just a few of the benefits of storing your server in a co-location facility:

• Less susceptible to hacking attempts
• Faster website response times for visitors
• Greater control over the server settings and all information stored on it
• Potentially less down time, should an interruption occur
• Option to be ISO compliant

For some websites, third-party hosting providers are an adequate solution. But for many B2B and B2C companies whose bottom line depends on their sites running securely and continuously, it’s worth the time to look into additional options before making your final selection.

For more information on the benefits of housing your server in a co-location facility, contact Bee-line Communications today.

Disclaimer: All websites are susceptible to hacking, and there is no perfect solution against it. Temporary service interruptions can happen to any website.

John Braun, President and CEO of TIP Solutions, Inc. says their mission is to “change the way the world answers a phone call.”

TIP Solutions offers differentiated, non-downloadable, voice-centric software that cannot be replicated within today’s popular downloadable applications markets. Their software allows  smartphone users to never miss a call again by automatically providing a caller with a personalized call receipt message while a user’s phone is off-network or turned off. It also has the ability to simultaneously answer the call, put a call on hold, and provide the caller with a pre-determined and personalized message until the call recipient is able to answer the call live.

Recently granted their method and device patents, TIP Solutions not only has the next big idea, but it’s proven, tested and ready-for-market. Mobile device manufacturers and carriers should take note. The software can be integrated into a carrier’s back-end processing to solidify customer loyalty and enhance incremental revenue without increasing bandwidth. As for the device manufacturers, in a recent survey of smartphone users 72% of respondents would be willing to buy a device having the innovative voice-centric features.

“We provide a differentiated, instant-answering solution on your mobile device, whereas texting and voicemail require a user’s focused attention,” says Braun.  Next step – the Consumer Electronics Show and inking deals with device manufacturers.

Stacey McClenathan, CEO of Bee-line Communications will be a feature panelist for the National Association of Women Business Owners Day on Thursday, October 14^th at 2:00 pm at the Metropolitan Club located in Chicago’s landmark Willis Tower.  McClenathan will be one of three featured expert panelists discussing Evolving to Business 3.0, Successful Women Entrepreneurs Reveal the Secret Weapons the Fueled their Growth.

Most conventional bank loans (say, $100,000 at a competitive rate) are usually only offered to businesses that can finance their growth without help from outside sources, such as guarantors. The worst candidate for a bank loan is a company that is struggling to pay its bills.

Compound this problem with CEOs, board members and large shareholders that garner much of their compensation from the value of a company’s stock. Most stocks are still taking a beating and perhaps the stock’s best days may be ahead of it. Cashing out now is not an attractive option to these shareholders and companies.

These scenarios can benefit from lending against securities. Lending against securities is not a new concept, but it’s rapidly gaining popularity because it makes sense in today’s economy. This form of loan to free up capital quickly is attractive to individuals and companies alike. Primarily because it is a quick process (often done within a few weeks), does not require a credit check and the borrower does not give up the stock if the loan is paid back. These loans are especially attractive because they also offer a non-recourse option. If the stock no longer retains its value, the borrower can walk away from the loan entirely.

Chicago based International Capital Group (ICG) (www.icglending.com) is the global leader in lending against securities. Brian Nord, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of ICG, said this method of lending will continue to be a go-to source of liquidity for the foreseeable future.

Nord explained, “Stock loans are very relevant to public companies and large shareholders. Investors that have shares of unrestricted stock look at this as an asset they can lend against easily. This is especially true because stock loans do not involve lengthy credit checks, asset appraisals or graveling with banks. Our clients appreciate that we can customize a lending solution for them and that the risk of calling the loan is minimal. If their security performs poorly, they can simply walk away from the loan. That peace of mind is attractive to many of our clients.”

Nord continued to explain that using stock loans to gain liquidity is one reason clients come to ICG. Another reason is because investors are looking for equity collars. Equity collars provide investors a vehicle to limit the downside risk of a stock position at little or no cost, or an investor who is willing to forego upside potential in return for obtaining this downside protection. Collars may also be of special interest to those investors who have one equity position that accounts for a large proportion of their net worth, and who may not be able to reduce the size of this position. For these investors, low cost protection may take precedence over maintaining upside potential.

Whatever reason the investor needs access to capital, the need for lending against securities is sure to continue to be a hot area for investors holding large shares of unrestricted stock – a considerable option to leverage for financing personal needs and company growth.

Top Gun hired Bee-line to assist in rebranding its web site and developing collateral that will support its upcoming events.

This technology provides Schools, Not-for-Profit Organizations and Business both large and small with an efficient, convenient, and cost-effective alternative to the traditional meetings, polling, and instant mass communication opportunities to engage in an open discussion of issues.

A Web-based control screen enables the hosts to see the name and location of every person they are speaking with, and to invite each person to ask a question or to raise a concern.  As dialogue begins, everyone can hear both the host and the selected speaker.  In addition to this feature, the host can choose to pose questions to the entire group which, are answered via touchtone response on their telephone keypads.  Bee Interactive © tracks and stores all relevant data for each and every participant on the call.
How to Bee Interactive™:

All that is needed to make a Bee Interactive call is a list, a computer, a broadband Internet connection, and a phone.  Hosts and staff control and monitor the call via an internet website allowing participants to ask questions or make comments during the event.

Advantages of Bee Interactive™:

• Inexpensive.  Schools, Businesses, Not for Profit Organizations, sports figures, national personalities and other VIP’s can personally communicate with employees, customers, shareholders and supporters for pennies compared to dollars.
• Delivers incredible results.  For example, dialing 30,000 phone numbers typically generates 4,000 to 6,000 acceptances with 8,000 to 12,000 households receiving a special personalized answering machine message.
• Real-time.  You and your targeted audience are able to personally communicate with each other live.
• No travel required.  Talking from the comfort of your office, you can communicate with a large, targeted audience.
• Thorough Feedback.  Bee Interactive™ emails to your office all the relevant detailed information about who accepted their call, who spoke, who wanted to speak, who has left voice mail messages, and who answered any survey questions, plus each household’s answers to those questions.  Bee Interactive also tracks and stores all relevant data for future use.
• Quick turnaround.  Once Bee Interactive™ has your call list, introductory message and your answering machine recording on file, setting up an event can be done with just 24 hours advance notice.
• Add speakers easily.  Special guest speakers located anywhere in the country can easily be added to a call.

Beyond the Conference Call

“Bee Interactive is much more than a mere conference call” explains Stacey McClenathan, Principal of Bee-line Communications, Inc.  “There’s a big difference.  In a conference call, first of all, you’re usually using a hardwired bridge.  So if you want a conference call with 10, 50, 200 people, you’d pick a time, dial this number — 9 times out of 10 it’s all dial-in and you’re tied together in a hardwired bridge.” “With a conference call system, participants are required to call in at a specific time.  In addition, the number of participants is limited by the capacity of the phone system.  Bee Interactive reverses the idea of the conference call by taking advantage of the unlimited capacity provided by VoIP.  Instead of having participants call in, the VoIP calls the participants — hundreds, even thousands of them, all at the same time and by routing most calls over the Internet, concerns about overloaded phone lines are eliminated,” added McClenathan.
