Company description::
Denver, Colorado (PR Web) January 5, 2004 -- "I remember when Ben McElhiney's biggest concern was how the University of Colorado football team was going to beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers that year" recalls Roddy Babb, a classmate of one of the entrepreneurial three and current golf pro and part owner of a video production house. "Scott Kelly and Eric Friedman weren't much different either." Babb elaborated regarding the other two partners. "We all are still great friends and still attend all of the University of Colorado Buffalo football games together."
Indeed the concept of starting their own business began back in those fun college days. However in the twelve years since college Friedman, Kelly, and McElhiney all have worked for Fortune 500 companies and have all been self-employed. They collectively have experience in the pharmaceutical, railroad, staffing, insurance, oil, real estate, financial, and retail industries. It is with the varied experience gained by working with large companies as well as starting their own businesses that have allowed them to launch their current venture.
OnlineSterling.com satisfies a previously unfulfilled market niche. The website offers the best sterling silver flatware, giftware, & hollowware in the world at prices that previously have been unavailable to the public. OnlineSterling.com is able to offer their incredible pricing by eliminating much of the traditional overhead associated with owning and running a boutique shop in a fancy shopping district, or a high end department store in the best shopping malls. "We have simply created a more efficient market for sterling silver" stated Scott Kelly. "We have developed productive relationships with manufactures, and we have minimized our operating costs so that we can pass along savings to the consumer."
A recent visit to the site revealed a C.J. Vander Louis Philippe pattern tea set for $6410. That may seem like allot of money to most people. But for those in the market for such an item it is much less than the suggested retail price of $15,342. The savings don't stop with high-end tea sets. Even with entry-level sterling silver flatware that many new brides and groom register for, the website offers significant discounts above the traditional retailer.
OnlineSterling.com has been up and running for over three months. The partners are pleased with the initial results but are working on achieving much more. "The Internet is such an evolving medium" mused partner Ben McElhiney "we are utilizing the efficiency of the Internet to provide tremendous value for the consumer. Now if we could figure out a way for the Buffs to win a national championship"
With the Buffs finishing in the middle of the pack in the Big 12 conference, McElhiney and his partners should continue to focus on sterling silver.

| Promotional Gifts Consultants Expose Their Knowledge
Redbows has launched a promotional gifts blog to provide buyers and specifiers with access to information they could require when considering giveaways for their promotional marketing campaigns. The new blog can be found at www.promotionalgiftsblog.co.uk
Redbows is one of the first gifts companies to use a blog for this purpose. The company already provides Adobe PDF format guides for download from its main website (www.redbows.co.uk). These tend to cover product ranges such as promotional confectionery and seasonal items like umbrellas. The intention behind the blog is to provide readers with a searchable on-line reference area and the opportunity for feedback and comment. The blog has a select number of categories covering issues such as ‘design and artwork’. Regular posting are made covering key issues that should be considered when purchasing promotional items. These can be made at any time and as soon as a particular problem area is highlighted a posting is uploaded together with links to supplementary information. The blog will also be used to provide general information on the gifts industry itself.
Initial postings have focused on various printing techniques and how artwork is generated. There is also a special fun aspect area shown as ‘Cocos corner’ and as Redbows launches new promotional gifts, their product-specific aspects will be covered within a blog entry. For example, the company is shortly to launch a new range of promotional mugs and the merits and drawbacks of plastic over ceramic and recycled materials will be discussed. “The launch of such an industry focused blog represents a further commitment to our clients and the promotional gifts industry itself” commented Dawn Koffler, Managing Director. “We already have good feedback from several clients on its themes and contents with some useful suggestions for the future. We supply a wide range of promotional items and are very keen to see this develop and cover the vast array of information our consultants have access to on a daily basis”.
