LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA AND NORWELL, MASSACHUSETTS…

eLove, the fastest growing matchmaking firm in the country, recently acquired Cupid’s Coach, a Los Angeles-based matchmaking company. The addition of Cupid Coach’s two locations in Los Angeles and Westlake Village brings eLove’s total number of matchmaking offices to 50 nationwide.

“We’re positively thrilled with the addition of Cupid’s Coach for many reasons,” said Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove. “Besides giving us a presence in a large market like LA, it gives us the opportunity to add one of the great matchmakers in the business today, Julie Ferman.”

As the principal of Cupid’s Coach, Julie Ferman has been in the matchmaking business for more than 20 years. She’s appeared on NBC’s “Match Off”, E’s “Kendra” and was recently awarded iDATE’s “Matchmaker of the Year Award”. Ferman is responsible for more than 1100 marriages.

The partnership with eLove makes sense for us on many levels,” said Ferman. “We are now the first dating company to offer our clients both traditional matchmaking through eLove’s existing model and mutual selection matchmaking, using detailed personal resumes and professional photos. Cupid’s Coach brings two other innovations to eLove’s higher level service offerings: ongoing coaching and personal recruiting. So, not only are we able to search for the right match from within eLove/Cupid’s Coach client base, but also through the passive referral members we proactively recruit through avenues such as events and affiliate referrals.” 

To celebrate the merger, eLove and Cupid’s Coach will be hosting the Fall Magic Cocktail Mixer and Dance party on Saturday, October 2. The event, which goes from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., will be held at the Aqua Lounge at 424 N. Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills. The event will include:

  • Healthy light appetizers from 7p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
  • “ASK THE LOVE EXPERTS” open panel from 7:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m.
  • FREE profile photo for Cupid’s Coach or eLove
  • Fun Rapid Mixer to meet tons of great people at 8:30 p.m.
  • Raffle prizes, tarot readings, massage and more!

Letting your plans for new kitchen cabinets slide.

ORLANDO, FL…

When it comes to remodeling your kitchen, especially the cabinets, it’s easy to get hung up on looks. Yet, you also want your new cabinets to be functional, as well. To that end, DirectBuy of Orlando, the leading home improvement and furnishings club with direct insider prices, recommends sliding cabinet doors as a functional yet attractive alternative.

“How many times have you hit your head or run into a kitchen cabinet door that somebody left open? Sliding kitchen cabinet doors work in a similar fashion to sliding patio doors—on a grooved run–only on a smaller scale,” said Brian Cohen, owner of DirectBuy of Orlando. “So if you’re tired of the bumps and bruises, installing beautiful kitchen cabinets with sliding doors is a great way to go.”

Kitchen cabinetry with sliding door fronts tend to work best in contemporary, modern, or Asian-inspired designs. Clear glass doors present an appealing alternative, giving you the opportunity to display your dinnerware or barware.

Sliding doors are also available for wood cabinets and often provide a clean and/or linear design that can dramatically enhance the appeal of your kitchen.

“Beyond all those benefits, sliding kitchen cabinet doors offer an added bonus in that they stay inside the cabinet when open but don’t take up any additional storage space,” added Cohen.

DirectBuy carries everything you need for a kitchen remodel at prices direct from the manufacturers or their authorized suppliers. In addition, each DirectBuy club employs product specialists and designers who can help members create the kitchen that works best for their home.

Since 1971, DirectBuy Club has helped consumers enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products, flooring, and accessories, by providing an avenue to purchase directly from the manufacturer. Conveniently located at 502 Sunport Lane, Suite 400, in Orlando, DirectBuy of Orlando offers consumers a comfortable, welcoming setting where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.

For more information on a DirectBuy Club membership, visit directbuycares.com.

About DirectBuy Club

For more than 39 years, DirectBuy Club has been showing thousands of consumers unparalleled ways to save as they shop for virtually everything for in and around their homes – from furnishings, home improvement and flooring, to entertainment and outdoor products, accessories, and much, much more. With more than 150 locations in North America, DirectBuy Club offers its members access to more than 700 brand-name manufacturers or their authorized suppliers in the US, and more than 500 brand-name manufacturers or their authorized suppliers in Canada.

Your new travel guide…Rosanne Tona opens New Brunswick Resort Maps franchise.

Owners of Resort Maps's New Brunswick, New Jersey map, Rosanne and Robert Tona

NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY AND WAITSFIELD, VERMONT…

Resort Maps, creator of nearly 100 customized travel maps across the United States, England, Costa Rica and Puerto Rico, recently announced Rosanne Tona as the owner of the new Resort Map to be published for New Brunswick. The map will include all key destinations in the greater New Brunswick area.

Resort Maps are colorful, hand-drawn maps of towns and cities, distributed free to area visitors at travel information and rest areas as well as at advertiser locations. The New Brunswick map will highlight local attractions and things to do, restaurants, festivals and fairs, accommodations, retail shops, real estate and other services. Each advertiser on the map will be represented with a display ad surrounding the perimeter of the map, including a color-coded grid locator and their actual building hand-drawn, highlighted and labeled, making it easy to locate. 

“As a college town, there are always people from outside the area coming to New Brunswick who may not be aware of some of the city’s hidden jewels,” said Tona. “Resort Maps will not only provide them with an invaluable tool to help them get around but it will also showcase the many things to do and see in New Brunswick beyond the Rutgers campus.”

Prior to starting her family, Tona had been a school teacher in New York City. As her family got older, she tried to re-enter the teaching ranks on a full-time basis, only to find opportunities few and far between. So, the South Brunswick resident contemplated starting her own business. The process led her back to previous family vacations when she first encountered Resort Maps.

“When my children were younger, we always picked up Resort Maps if they were available,” said Tona. “So, when I started investigating business opportunities, I did a little research on the Resort Maps opportunity. It seemed like something I could do and fit it in with my family life and the other things I do in the community.”

A resident of South Brunswick since 1993, Tona has cooked and been an active volunteer for Elijah’s Promise Soup Kitchen for the past six years. Along with her husband Robert, she has also been active in coordinating an annual road race to help fund sports programs at South Brunswick High School.

Slated for an early 2011 distribution, The New Brunswick Resort Map will offer a treasure trove of things to do for people vacationing in the area or just out for a day or two. Resort Maps free ‘souvenir style’ maps will be on display at local advertisers’ shops as well as at many non-advertiser locations throughout New Brunswick.

The New Brunswick Resort Map will also be available on-line at www.resortmaps.com, along with interactive maps to more than 100 areas that Resort Maps covers. These interactive maps allow the viewer to read a description of each business as they scroll over each building and to connect to the website of the business for further information. 

For information on how to advertise on the initial New Brunswick Resort Map, you can e-mail Rosanne Tona at rosannet@resortmaps.com or call 732-354-6464.
