CableOrganizer.com Announces Top 10 iPad? and Tablet Accessories

iPads? and e-book readers are on their way to becoming as commonplace as smartphones and iPods?, but as more and more of us cross over into the land of tablet ownership, it's become clear that this new generation of gadgets has a unique set of storage, cleaning and connectivity needs that call for some special attention.

"Because they fall between iPods? and laptops size-wise, tablets can be a little tricky to carry around safely," notes Christina Hansen, a Product Specialist with CableOrganizer.com. "They're too big to slide into your pocket, and far too small to demand any type of laptop bag. It can also be a challenge to keep their touch screens free of fingerprints and smudges, but with a few smart accessories, it's easy to keep iPads? and any other tablet-style device safe, clean, charged, and easy to view."

CableOrganizer.com offers the following Top 10 product suggestions to maximize your iPad? or tablet reader experience both at home and on the road:

BlueLounge? Nest iPad? and Tablet Stand
Stylish in a minimalist kind of way and unbelievably versatile, this iPad? perch works as a stand, pedestal, and even a secret stashing place for keys, flash drives, and other small items. Choose from standard Black or White, or take a walk on the wild side with Pink, Blue, Green or Orange. Fits any tablet device.

12V USB iPad? Car Charger
Being on the road with your tablet can make charging tough, but this 12V USB mobile charger ensures that on-the-go iPads? are always powered up and ready for action.

WorkingMomsOnly.com Presents Working Moms Day

According the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 66 percent of mothers with children under the age of 17 work full or part-time and of those mothers who work, 74 percent work full-time. That's a lot of time and talent that helps to build the economy and provide for families. The folks at WorkingMomsOnly.com, a website specializing in the empowerment of women's coats working mothers, want to pay tribute to working moms and honor the hard work that they do. This is why Working Moms Only have petitioned for a new holiday, Working Moms Day, to take place the Monday after Mother's Day.

"The reason for having a "Working Moms Day" is to recognize the amazing group of women who manage a career and the full-time job of raising children at the same time," said MaryEllen Tribby, the founder of WorkingMomsOnly.Com, the driving force behind Working Moms Day and a working mom herself. She is also the CEO of Idea Incubator, LP, a distributor of information products. Since working moms do twice the work, Tribby is asking individuals to sign a petition that will be sent to Congress to make Working Moms Day, the Monday after Mother's Day, an official annual holiday.

"I know from experience that working moms not only work to raise and uphold their family, but they also work in different fields, maintain strong professional relationships and help to grow our economy." Tribby said. After all, families depend on working moms for things ranging from college education for the kids to providing food, clothing and shelter for the entire family. In fact, the current recession hasn't slowed working moms down. According to a May 2010 government report, Understanding the Economy: Working Mothers in the Great Recession, one in three working mothers were the only job holder in their family.

Of course, Tribby knows how hard stay-at-home moms work and she wants to give credit where credit is due. "Many working moms started out as stay-at-home moms." Tribby said. "Running a household is as challenging as running a business. It takes intelligence, foresight and creativity to make sure everything runs smoothly every day. So, it is no surprise that working moms use the skills they honed while taking care of their families, in order to be successful at work."

"With this said, we believe working moms deserve to be recognized with their own special day. These women not only hold the full time job of raising their children, they also have the important role of keeping up with their jobs and careers."

"Since working moms contribute in so many ways," said Tribby. "I want to honor their contributions, so I invite others to join me in helping to make Working Moms Day a national holiday." More information about the petition can be found at http://workingmomsday.rallycongress.com/4378/join-working-moms-day-movement/.

New Survey Reveals When it Comes to Back-to-School Shopping, Moms Are Still Old School

School Family Media, Inc., a marketing and media services company focused exclusively on promoting and enabling meaningful parent involvement at K-8 schools, recently released the results of their 2011 Back-to-School Shopping Survey. The results, garnered in June 2011 via an online survey with 1,400 women with school age kids responding, reveal some unexpected trends in moms' shopping preferences and intentions for the upcoming back-to-school season.

"We work with moms all year, across all demographics, who are engaged with their kids' education, so we were uniquely positioned to gain and share some insights about moms' attitudes regarding back-to-school shopping," said John Driscoll, President – Consumer Connections, School Family Media. "What we found interesting was that despite the emergence of new technologies and communication platforms, moms aren't planning on utilizing these much when it comes to their back-to-school shopping. In fact, social media was moms' least preferred method for receiving information about products and promotions, and 90 percent of moms still planned to make the majority of their purchases at actual stores versus online."

Moms did show they are active online and receptive to marketing outreach when it comes to their email inbox however. Over 70 percent chose "Email from brand/store" as one of their most preferred ways to receive information about back-to-school products and promotions.

According to the survey, moms are:

  •     Not looking to social media for information about products and promotions

Respondents reported that Facebook and Twitter were their least preferred method for receiving information about back-to-school products and pro women's coats motions. Most preferred methods were emails directly from brands or retail stores followed by Sunday newspaper inserts, personal referrals from family and friends, brand/store websites, magazines, and radio/tv.

  •     Making majority of purchases at actual stores vs. online

Asked if they were more likely to make purchases online or at a retail store, respondents overwhelmingly chose the latter with 89% indicating clothes/apparel purchases would be made at a store vs. online (11%). The category with the highest anticipated online purchases was technology-related equipment (computers, software and cell phones) where 28% anticipated making those purchases online vs. at a store.

  •     Spending more this year, compared to last year – but still price-conscious

More than twice as many respondents (29% to 14%) reported they anticipated spending more on back-to-school shopping than last year with 57% indicating they would spend the same as last year. The clothing /apparel category was cited the most by respondents for where their increased spending would occur.

As moms spend more, value appears to be more important than ever, as the vast majority (75%) listed price or coupon/promotional offer as the biggest factor influencing their purchases followed by quality, convenience and selection.

  •     Not rushing to complete shopping before the first day of school
A surprising number of respondents (38%) indicated they would make the bulk of their purchases AFTER school starts. Even in the clothing/apparel category, more than 1 out of every 5 respondents indicated they would do the bulk of their shopping after school starts.
