Many Business Supplies & Services Consolidated by Grand Rapids, MI Vendor

Dodson Group Offers Boutique Business Printing, Mail Marketing, Promotional Items & Merchant Services Ideal for Small Businesses

2011-12-19

GRAND RAPIDS, MI, December 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Grand Rapids, Michigan's small business community has many vendors to turn to for business supplies and services such as printing, direct marketing and merchant services, but until recently, no vendor sought to simplify small business operations by offering all these services and supplies under one roof. Dodson Group started operations in 1998 providing office supplies and direct mail marketing solutions to automotive dealerships, but as their client base increased, Dodson Group began offering supplemental services to businesses in other industries.

Today, the Grand Rapids vendor supplies small and mid-sized local businesses with many staples of business operations. Dodson Group's supplies and services include merchant services and payment solutions, complete business printing, direct mail marketing and promotional products. The vendor continues to specialize in auto dealer supplies, supplying dealerships around the country with automotive supplies and direct mail marketing.

The benefits of consolidating purchasing of business printing, promotional items, direct marketing and merchant services through a single vendor are straightforward for Grand Rapids businesses. Depending on a single supplier for all these services and supplies reduces many separate purchase transactions to a single vendor-client relationship. Maintaining a single point of contact for supplies and services helps local businesses to cut back on purchasing time and benefit from lower overall pricing. Just as importantly, local businesses benefit from the personalized, one-on-one customer service Dodson Group's clients have come to expect.

As part of a recent website launch and re-branding campaign, Dodson Group is reaching out to make Grand Rapids businesses aware of the boutique catalog of products and services the vendor has to offer.

"Clients always seems surprised when we mention that we offer another service they could use," commented Jeff Dodson, owner and founder of Dodson Group. "We're often hearing 'oh, wow, you offer merchant services too?' or 'I didn't know you also printed business cards and checks.' It seems that local businesses really appreciate being able to purchase so many supplies and services from one company; they just don't know such a company exists!" With a new website, a new online marketing strategy and plans for targeted direct mail campaigns in place, Dodson and his company hope to change that trend.

German research team targets 'at risk' data on biodiversity

2011-12-19

Copenhagen, Denmark – A new German-based project is setting out to rescue biodiversity data at risk of being lost, because they are not integrated in institutional databases, are kept in outdated digital storage systems, or are not properly documented. The project, run by the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem, provides a good example for a GBIF recommendation to establish hosting centres for biodiversity data. This is one of a set of data management recommendations just published by GBIF. The team behind the German project called reBiND (http://rebind.bgbm.org/), ...

Sensational bird finding in China

2011-12-19

In June 2011, a team of Chinese and Swedish researchers rediscovered the breeding area for the poorly known Blackthroat Luscinia obscura, in the Qinling mountains, Shaanxi province, north central China. Seven singing males were observed in Foping and seven more in Changqing National Nature Reserves – which almost equals the total number of individuals observed of this species since its discovery in the late 19th century. Nearly all of the birds were on mountain slopes at 2400 meters above sea level in large, dense expanses of bamboo in open coniferous and mixed coniferous-broadleaved ...

Plant-eating dinosaur discovered in Antarctica

2011-12-19

For the first time, the presence of large bodied herbivorous dinosaurs in Antarctica has been recorded. Until now, remains of sauropoda - one of the most diverse and geographically widespread species of herbivorous dinosaurs - had been recovered from all continental landmasses, except Antarctica. Dr. Ignacio Alejandro Cerda, from CONICET in Argentina, and his team's identification of the remains of the sauropod dinosaur suggests that advanced titanosaurs (plant-eating, sauropod dinosaurs) achieved a global distribution at least by the Late Cretaceous*. Their work has just ...

What are the prospects for sustaining high-quality groundwater?

2011-12-19

Intensive agriculture practices developed during the past century have helped improve food security for many people but have also added to nitrate pollution in surface and groundwaters. New research has looked at water quality measurement over the last 140 years to track this problem in the Thames River basin. The NERC-funded study, led by the University of Bristol's Department of Civil Engineering, has looked at nitrate transport from agricultural land to water in the Thames basin. The team used a simple model to estimate the amount of nitrate able to leach from soils ...

Chemicals and biofuel from wood biomass

2011-12-19

Most commonly used raw materials in butanol production have so far been starch and cane sugar. In contrast to this, the starting point in the Aalto University study was to use only lignocellulose, otherwise known as wood biomass, which does not compete with food production. Another new breakthrough in the study is to successfully combine modern pulp - and biotechnology. Finland's advanced forest industry provides particularly good opportunities to develop this type of bioprocesses. Wood biomass is made up of three primary substances: cellulose, hemicelluloses and ...

Data-driven tools cast geographical patterns of rainfall extremes in new light

2011-12-19

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. -- Using statistical analysis methods to examine rainfall extremes in India, a team of researchers has made a discovery that resolves an ongoing debate in published findings and offers new insights. The study, initiated by Auroop Ganguly and colleagues at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, reports no evidence for uniformly increasing trends in rainfall extremes averaged over the entire Indian region. It does, however, find a steady and significant increase in the spatial variability of rainfall extremes over the region. These findings, published in Nature ...

Quotas for women in local politics brings surge in documented crimes against women in India

2011-12-19

An increase in female representation in local politics has caused a significant rise in documented crimes against women in India, new research has found. That is good news, say the authors of the study carried out at the Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy (CAGE) at the University of Warwick in the UK, Harvard Business School and the IMF, who argue that the increase is down to greater reporting of crimes against women, rather than greater incidence of crimes against them. The research examined the impact of the Panchayati Raj reform passed in 1993, ...

A new kind of metal in the deep Earth

2011-12-19

Washington, D.C. -- The crushing pressures and intense temperatures in Earth's deep interior squeeze atoms and electrons so closely together that they interact very differently. With depth materials change. New experiments and supercomputer computations discovered that iron oxide undergoes a new kind of transition under deep Earth conditions. Iron oxide, FeO, is a component of the second most abundant mineral at Earth's lower mantle, ferropericlase. The finding, published in an upcoming issue of Physical Review Letters, could alter our understanding of deep Earth dynamics ...
