AT&T Alive After Five Returns to Uptown April 5

The Queen City summer tradition celebrates its 11^th Anniversary

Charlotte, N.C. Warm weather has spread across the Carolinas and spring is in the air, which in Charlotte means its time to kick-start the weekend in style with the Queen City summertime tradition – AT&T Alive After Five.

Celebrating its 11^th Anniversary this year, AT&T Alive After Five returns to uptown Charlotte on Thursday, April 5 at 5 p.m. at Wells Fargo Plaza, 301 South Tryon Street. The 2012 season kicks off with a performance on the Bud Light Stage by Charlotte’s No. 1 party band, Hot Sauce. The Charlotte-based band will rock AT&T Alive After Five playing top hits from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and today.

Wells Fargo Plaza will host AT&T Alive After Five each Thursday during the month of April. The venue was home to AT&T Alive After Five for its first eight seasons. Beginning May 3, the scene shifts to the Pavilion at EpiCentre, 210 E Trade Street, where AT&T Alive After Five will continue every Thursday through September 13.

Weather won’t dampen Thursday afternoons at Pavilion in 2012 with the When it Rains, We Pour promotion. Pavilion has purchased two huge tents to keep guests sheltered from the elements during summer showers, so when it rains, AT&T Alive After Five will pour with drink specials, including $3 Bud Light Drafts any time there is inclement weather during AT&T Alive After Five.

After the sun sets on AT&T Alive After Five, the party won’t stop at EpiCentre’s hottest locations. Wristbands, which will be distributed at both the Wells Fargo Plaza and the Pavilion, guarantees the attendee free cover for the night. All wristbands will be given to those 21 and up.

When AT&T Alive After Five returns to Pavilion in May, it brings a new dining experience to the popular entertainment destination. Each Thursday during the season, select EpiCentre restaurants will offer their own custom dining deal experiences. Dining deals, during AT&T Alive After Five, create the perfect opportunity to enjoy Charlotte at premier dining locations, from spring until summer.

CHARLOTTE, NC – In honor of American Heart Month, Showmars partnered with Go Red for Women to raise money for the Charlotte Chapter of the American Heart Association in early February.

Over a 12-day span from January 30 to February 10, Showmars collected $1 from every large Greek Salad sold in each of its 28 locations. In addition, the restaurant sold American Heart Association Red Dress pins for $5 apiece from January 30 through February 10. In total, Showmars raised $15,000 to benefit the American Heart Association.

Showmars team members participated in a special check presentation ceremony with representatives of Go Red for Women and the American Heart Association at the Showmars location on Highway 521 in Fort Mill, South Carolina. In the above photo are, from left-to-right, David Prosser, Theresa Payton, Go Red Board of Directors, Dean Peroulas, Showmars Founder George Couchell, Showmars President Konstantine Zitsos, Louis Manousos, Chrissy Malinky, Director of Development Go Red for Women at the American Heart Assocation, and Tommy Racano.

Cardiovascular disease claims the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each year, yet women were unaware of the risks. To dispel the myths and raise awareness of heart disease as the number one killer of women, the American Heart Association created Go Red For Women in 2004 – a passionate, emotional, social initiative designed to empower women to take charge of their heart health. Additional information about Go Red for Women is available at GoRedForWomen.org.

CHARLOTTE, NC – A newly-formed race team hopes to bring a unique message to NASCAR, beginning with the Daytona 500 later this month.

Charlotte-based America Israel Racing (AIR) was formed to raise awareness of the importance of America supporting Israel through a unique and very public forum – the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. AIR will team with Robinson-Blakeney Racing of Monroe to place a car in the 2012 Daytona 500 field on February 26.

“This is a critical time in our nation’s history as it pertains to our relationship with Israel,” said Rich Shirey, co-founder of AIR. “As the only true democracy in the Middle East, we feel it is critical that the United States reaffirms its commitment to stand beside Israel. By fielding a car in the most-watched race of the year, we hope to show Israel just how many Americans feel the same way.”

The No. 49 America Israel Racing Robinson-Blakeney Racing Toyota will be driven by JJ Yeley at Daytona. Inspired by AIR’s mission of promoting American Israeli support, the car’s design prominently displays both the United States and Israel flags as well as a striking image of a bald eagle holding both nations’ flags in its claws and an olive branch in its beak on the hood.

“We wanted to ensure our car design was not only eye-catching, but properly conveyed the mission and values of America Israel Racing,” said Shirey. “The eagle in particular contains a great deal of symbolism – it has a determined look on its face, because we are determined to voice the importance of America’s support of Israel.

“However, we wanted to be sure to include the olive branch, because it is a universal sign of peace and above all else, America Israel Racing’s message is a peaceful one.”

AIR hopes to continue its partnership with Robinson-Blakeney Racing beyond Daytona, and with the support of like-minded individuals AIR will spread its message of American Israeli support by placing a car in the NASCAR Sprint Cup field for the entire 2012 season. Anyone wishing to support America Israel Racing and its cause can make a donation online at AmericaIsraelRacing.com.

“If enough people make a stand, the world will take notice,” said Shirey.

Years from now, business schools all over the world will be discussing the US launch of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in their marketing classes. Aside from the problems, delays, and controversies, they’ll be discussing how it was one of the highest selling Android device at the time to ever be sold without the carrier ever “officially” announcing the release date. They talk about how without the use of traditional marketing methods, the Nexus was able to stay as the peak interest to buyers for nearly 2 straight months.

If you’ve been following the saga/cluster-fuck which is the Google/Samsung/Verizon Wireless US launch, you probably read this title and realized that it is a complete contradiction to the current narrative around the net. The launch of the highly anticipated new Google flagship phone has met several speed bumps on its way to US shelves. So to call it the most successful launch ever, or successful at all for that matter, seems completely suspect. However, I think that we have all witnessed what may in fact go down as one of the first “gorilla marketed releases” of a highly anticipated mobile device. In fact, I begrudgingly predict this may be the beginning of a trend; and here’s why.

Signing Up for More Information
As with the launch of most any other product, the manufacturer, as well as their partners involved, offer patrons the ability to register with them to receive more information as it becomes available. With the release of the Galaxy Nexus, Samsung, Verizon and Google all offered their own registration pages to collect coveted customer contact information. Personally, I registered with all three in hopes of ensuring that I would among the first to know the release date as well as other information. To date (12:35 am 12/15/2011), aside from the initial confirmation email, I’ve received nothing from Google or Verizon. However, I have received about 5 emails from Samsung about TVs, tablets, computers and essentially every other miscellaneous electronic device they sell… except for the Nexus.

Figuratively armed with nothing but a carrot on a stick, all three companies have gathered countless emails from eager potential buyers of the first Android phone to be powered by Ice Cream Sandwich. By not “officially” announcing the release date, all three continued to successfully gather more and more emails. So while the sign up pages alluded to being your ticket to exclusive news on this super phone, it seems more likely that it was all a ruse to get you to give them your email address to that they can later solicit you for future purchases.

The Official “Unofficial” Announcement of the Release
As of 12:35am EST on 12/15/2011, Verizon has not officially announced that they will in fact be selling the Galaxy Nexus in less than 9 hours. Their announcement page (http://smartphones.verizonwireless.com/nexus/) still hosts a generic sign up page as opposed to an area to pre-order the device as you may expect so close to launch. However, if you followed the official Android page on Google+ (Google’s debatably superior but fledgling competitor to social powerhouse Facebook), Twitter, or even Facbook, you would have seen a post around 6:30pm EST on 12/14/2011 announcing that the “Galaxy Nexus will be available in the US Thursday, December 15″ (https://plus.google.com/u/0/104629412415657030658/posts/DXCZNVxADks).
The fact that Google has appeared to use social media as its bullhorn instead of a more traditional approach such as email or even updating their information pages shows a distinct statement of what medium they feel is most efficient in carrying the message quickly. Considering that the likely result of them updating their landing page would simply have been it being shared on the various social mediums, their decision makes even more sense.

The “Accidental” Sale of a Few Handsets
Making the accusation that Verizon purposely allowed a handful of Nexus phones out into the wild between the “original release date” of 12/9 and now would likely earn me a tinfoil hat, so let me clarify. I’m completely convinced that the sale of the device was genuinely accidental and the by-product of a series of confusing and conflicting memos between Verizon and their partners. When you ship the devices at the beginning of the week, tell them retailers that you plan to sell the device on the 9th, and the send out an emergency memo on the 9th explicitly stating NOT to sell the devices, your bound to get a few slip ups. So, what I am insinuating is that Verizon was very aware of the likelihood that some devices would be sold, and they were okay with that.

By allowing a few genuine Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy Nexuses… Nexus… Nexi?… to be used and displayed over the internet only caused added salivation by the hoards of eager fans. By allowing us to see the actual product we’ve been clambering for, being used by one of our own, only further fueled the fires of anticipation. This subtle hint that the end of our waiting was near caused a flurry or posts, comments, and discussions to continue culminating over the weekend.

The Buzz Factor
The buzz around the product is really what this was all about from the start. One of the biggest goals a company can achieve in marketing is to make their product a “top of mind” product. When you think of soda, you think of Coke. When you think of fast food, you think of McDonald’s. After the past few months, I would argue that if you were to ask any Android owner actively looking to upgrade their handset (and possibly even some non-Android users) what phone they want to get, it would be the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon Wireless.

If that’s not a success, I don’t know what is.

It is this point above all others which I base my claims of this being one of the most successful mobile device launches of all time. It’s not that the release went smoothly, it’s that everyone wants one. The only device that is even comparable in release anticipation would be the iPhone. And since creating the “next iPhone” has been the goal of every cell phone manufacturer since, well, I rest my case.
