What Contributed to the Success of Brian Bonar?

Brian Bonar is a popular name in the world of finance, and it’s no secret that his company, Dalrada Financial is doing significantly well. Having received his Bachelor’s Degree in Technical Engineering, Bonar went on later to get his Master’s Degree as well in Technical Engineering from Stafford University.

Bonar’s experience runs deeper than finance, along with experience in management with more than 100 staff at a time. Working as both a procurement manager and a Sales Manager, Bonar had enough experience to strike out on his own, starting his first company Bezier Systems.

Dalrada Financial Corporation is a privately held company where Bonar works today, and has been a director of the company since 1995. Over time, Bonar has held many different positions within the company, adding to his experience and knowledge of how a major corporation works from the inside out. Bonar’s greatest passion is finance, and how it works at a corporate level.

Today, Bonar’s main focus is on mergers and acquisitions, two of the most important aspects of a company to start and to grow. Through approaching finance creatively, Bonar has effectively managed more people as the result of working with Trucept, a company that focuses on managing employee benefits for large corporations.

One of the main tasks at Trucept is to aid in the management of payroll, as well as focusing on staffing solutions and administrative duties.

Additionally, Bonar has been focused on helping small and medium sized businesses learn more about how to effectively file taxes for the company and how to maintain their day-to-day business through risk management.

According to Bloomberg, it was in April of 1998 that Brian Bonar assumed the role of the CEO for Dalrada Financial Corporation, and today Bonar continues to serve successfully with any company he partners with, more specifically in finance.

Fabletics And The Art Of The Reverse Showroom Technique

Kate Hudson has unveiled yet another brilliant business strategy. In just four years, Hudson has managed to turn Fabletics, her athletic apparel company, into a $250 million success story thanks to her fearless approach to selling fashion. The newest strategy is known as the reverse showroom. This method uses physical stores to generate more e-commerce revenue.

 

The technique was created by Apple and Hudson has managed to make it work for her fashion business. In an age when more and more people are doing their shopping on their phones, Hudson has managed to make physical retail work in her company’s favor.

 

Fabletics stores use online data to stock each store based on region. If sports bras are more popular in New York and hoodies are more popular in California, Fabletics stocks each store accordingly. The goal of each Fabletics store is to encourage shoppers to join the online VIP membership program. Following the subscription service model, the VIP membership program allows customers to receive a workout outfit in the mail on a monthly basis by paying a small monthly fee.

 

Fabletics selects each outfit for each VIP member by having them take a lifestyle quiz when they sign up to the program. This gives Fabletics data regarding each member’s unique fashion preferences.

 

Teri Hutcheon joined the membership program because it seemed like an easier way to maintain her workout wardrobe. Before Fabletics, Teri would spend plenty of time and money shopping for new workout gear in order to accommodate her busy exercise schedule. With the membership program, however, Fabletics does all the hard work for her and she gets to enjoy her monthly shipment of a cute new workout outfit each month.

 

Bloggers Heather and Joanie joined the membership program because they couldn’t resist the value. The $49.95 monthly fee is incredibly affordable considering the high quality of materials used to make each Fabletics apparel item. The ladies are still members today.

 

This reverse showroom strategy is a success, recruiting more VIP members than ever. When shoppers walk into a Fabletics store, they are educated about the membership program. So far, about 25 percent of customers have become VIP members online. A little less than half of the customers are existing Fabletics VIP members who purchase additional items while they’re in the store.

Waiakea Hawaiian Volcanic Water Has Just Reached a New Level

Waiakea Volcanic Water has joined the ranks of all the top beverage companies. As of this past January, Waiakea water offered it first big giveaway. Like other household brands, Waiakea’s giveaway reflects its company image. The winner of Waiakea’s “#FollowYourFlow” contest received a free trip to Oahu to experience the Wanderlust Yoga Festival.

The round-trip flight was compliments of Skyscanner, who provided the airfare up to $1000. Waiakea water chose the Yoga Festival because it so perfectly reflected the company’s commitment to balanced and healthy lifestyles. The winner of the contest was sure to love the free healthy lifestyle vacation.

The Wanderlust Yoga Festival took place starting February 23rd and lasted till the 26th. The festival was a huge success among the health enthusiast crowd.

The celebration featured a wide array of world-class yoga instructors, meditation areas, and live music. The festival also embraced its host city by offering local guided outdoor adventures and serving sustainable, local foods.

If Waiakea Hawaiian Volcanic Water sounds like just another bottled water brand claiming to be the best, it isn’t, Arguably, Waiakea is the best bottled water brand in the world. Unlike other bottled water brands, Waiakea is 100 percent naturally from start to finish. It originates as snowmelt and rainfall on the Mauna Loa volcano.

It’s then naturally filtered through thousands of feet of porous volcanic rock. The volcanic rock naturally enriches the water with alkaline, electrolytes, and other nutritious minerals. The filtered and enriched water then spurts up out of springs all over the volcano where it is quickly packaged to maintain its purity.

According to Forbes, Waiakea water is the top bottled water brand in the world for a reason. Not only is the product great in itself, but the company is also one of the most environmentally conscious companies in the world. It was the first premium bottled water brand in America to be CarbonNeutral certified.

Waiakea’s packaging process has limited the company’s carbon footprint to minuscule numbers. Their packaging facilities emit about 90 percent small CO2 than any of their competitors.
