<![CDATA[
Absolute's online loyalty scheme website design for Hilton Hotels goes from strength to strength with two further hotels signing-up to join 'Club Royale'.<br><br>Launched late last year www.hiltonclubroyale.com provides corporate bookers with the opportunity to earn 'Royales' for every night booked in one of the twelve Hilton Hotels in the Arabian Peninsula. The Royales can be redeemed by the booker against restaurant bills, room stays in participating Hilton Hotels, or against goods offered by partner companies.<br><br><br>Since its launch the website has had an unprecedented number of visitors, and participating hotels have seen a significant increase in the number of bookings. This success has led to the Qasr-Al-Sharq and Medinah hotels being the latest additions to the scheme.<br><br><br>"The Club Royale scheme is working really well for Hilton Hotels in the Arabian Peninsula and the website is very popular with its members" says Absolute MD, Chris Hodgen.<br><br><br>"Adding as much value as possible to your product is absolutely key in this difficult economic climate and Hilton Hotels are directly seeing the rewards of their investment in customer bookings - it's a mutually beneficial proposition".<br><br><br>With a hint of caution Hodgen also explained: "We have seen a slowdown in the level of work coming from our existing Middle-Eastern partners during the current global economic crisis. That said, we have a strong foothold in the market, and offer better value for money than the majority of our Middle-Eastern competitors, which has conversely prompted an increase in new enquiries."<br><br><br>The latest hotels to be added can be viewed at www.hiltonclubroyale.com <br> ...]]>

<title>Dummies get interactive</title>

<![CDATA[
Absolute have completed a major venture into the world of multimedia for one of the World's best selling printed titles (... and NO, it's not The Bible).<br><br><br><br>Absolute Media Solutions were recently commissioned to design and develop a new range of interactive software products under the world famous 'For Dummies' brand. The deal to publish their top 5 best selling titles as CD-ROM products has given the brand its first major extension into multimedia publishing. <br><br><br><br>Now sold in some of the biggest retail outlets worldwide - Harvey Norman, Waterstones, and Amazon to name a few - the titles which include PC's For Dummies, Microsoft Office 2007 For Dummies and Windows Vista For Dummies, take the benefits of the books into a whole new level of useability and functionality with the addition of video tutorials, animated support sections, audio soundbites and a very handy desktop search facility.<br><br><br><br>Whilst there are some books that have sold in greater volumes, the For Dummies project is considerable 'testament' to our multimedia capabilities. Associate Director, Licensing for Wiley, John Hislop said, "It is a great partnership. Absolute have a superb design and development team who already have a number of stunning interactive CD-ROM titles. As soon as discussions started we knew they were the perfect partner to make this project not only work, but also work well".<br><br><br><br>You could say we did a rather good 'Job of the Book'.

We regularly employed by established mid-sized businesses an outsourced marketing department, who may not have the need for a full time marketing role, but who definitely required good advice and qualified marketing expertise.<br><br><br>One company who has increasingly done just that is MEDIQUIP, a pre-eminent force in the sales and service of biomedical equipment to Australia's health industry. <br><br><br><br>Pursuing their own growth strategy and planning, in the past 12 months they have fuelled their increased sales with shrewd investment in promotional materials, advertising, and marketing collateral - all of course with the help of Absolute Media's creative output.<br><br><br><br>And with brand new premises, brand new product lines, continuing sales growth and an expanding work force MEDIQUIP are clearly bucking the downward trend of the current economic climate, and have become an example to many others on how to make good use of limited resources. <br><br><br><br>Of course if you're interested in doing the same, give us a call.<br> ...]]>
