Car Video Screen sales on the up

In-dash car video screen sales are on the up with sales increasing two-fold over the last twelve months alone. Experts claim that demand for in car entertainment continues to rocket despite the impending global recession.

In car entertainment such as in car video screens (also known as “car indash LCD” and “car LCD screens”) are popular with motoring enthusiasts and vehicle customizers who install the systems to their own and client’s specifications.

The car modification and cutomization market also continues to grow as consumers look to make the most of their existing vehicles, possibly due to reduced access to car finance.

Leaders in the car video screen markets such as Pioneer electronics and Jensen electronics are leading the way in in-dash entertainment, developing and releasing new models at unbelievable rates.

The boom in interest in the car LCD screen market has sprung a number of online specialists providing a range of advice, sales and service on leading brands.

One leading car video screen supplier has launched niche online store www.carvideoscreen.com, offering consumers a complete range of in car entertainment systems from leading brands such as Pioneer, Jensen & Legacy.

The site offers a complete range of in car entertainment systems including alarm systems, specialist speaker systems, amplifiers and flip down screens. However, it’s the indash LCD screens that continue to spark demand with numerous models back ordered up to 3 months in advance.

Recession or no recession, it seems that the car video screen market is still going strong!

Debt advice in the face of a recession

The deteriorating state of the economy should lead borrowers to review their finances as a matter of urgency, say debt experts Debt Advisers Direct, following the Autumn forecast from the Ernst & Young ITEM Club.

“Released on 20th October, the Ernst & Young ITEM Club Autumn forecast ‘sees an economy that has deteriorated dramatically in the last quarter and is now in recession’,” said a spokesperson for Debt Advisers Direct. “The good news, however, is that the recession is expected to be both short and shallow, with GDP rising – even if only by 1% – in 2010.”

“Even so, the impact of today’s economic downturn will be profound,” the spokesperson continued. “By definition, even a ‘shallow’ recession involves a shrinking of the nation’s economy, with the inevitable consequences: lower spending, higher unemployment, greater uncertainty about the future, etc.

“On an individual level, the threat of a reduced monthly income is likely to lead many to review their financial situation. This isn’t to say that economic gloom is a good thing, but everyone needs to stop and take stock of their finances from time to time, and reports such as this can provide a much-needed incentive to do so.

“It’s important for everyone – even people with no debts and significant savings – but for the millions of UK consumers in debt, it’s particularly vital. Many people in the UK have grown used to spending more and more of their monthly budget on debt repayments. In many cases, those repayments take up almost their entire disposable income, so if anything happens to their income, they could almost immediately face a whole range of consequences, from legal action to bailiffs and County Court Judgments (CCJs) – to say nothing of the damage to their credit rating.

“The important thing, of course, is to take action before it’s too late. Seeking professional debt advice is normally the best way to start – any borrower could have a wide range of debt solutions available to them, so it’s vital they talk to a professional organisation which understands every option and can provide impartial debt advice, tailored to their individual circumstances.”

An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) or debt consolidation loan, for example, could help someone cope with a reduced income – yet neither debt solution would make sense for someone who’s fairly sure they might lose their income (or a significant part of it) in the near future.

“A borrower who is working, but whose job seems to be at risk, may be better off with a flexible debt solution such as a debt management plan: if their income drops, they can ask a professional debt management company to talk to their creditors on their behalf, renegotiating their debt repayments as and when it becomes necessary.”

Different borrowers, in other words, will need to adopt different strategies to deal with their debts. “There’s no ‘silver bullet’ for debt. Debt management plans, debt consolidation loans, debt consolidation remortgages, IVAs, even bankruptcy – each has its place, but the debt solution that’s right for one person can be completely inappropriate for another. The key thing is to take the time to get the right debt advice before making any commitments.”

The first ever Barclaycard World Freerun Championships come to London

Barclaycard has announced the inaugural Barclaycard World Freerun Championships which will be staged in September at Camden’s iconic Roundhouse. This standout occasion for the capital features a specially designed course constructed as a massive challenge for more than 20 top-flight international freerunners.

Freerunning began as an urban expression of freedom and athleticism in Paris in the 1990s. Its exponents perform breathtaking combinations of running, climbing, jumping, vaults, spins, flips and somersaults, usually across an urban landscape.

This groundbreaking Barclaycard sponsored event will be a global celebration, showcasing the awesome artistry of the world’s best athletes in this incredible urban sport. Each will perform to the accompaniment of his own individually selected soundtrack and in a unique twist, each will be judged by his fellow competitors. The Barclaycard World Freerun Champion will be the athlete who displays the greatest skill, complexity and above all, fluidity or “flow”.

Sponsorship of the World Freerun Championships marks an exciting time for Barclaycard. Dan Mathieson, Barclaycard Head of Sponsorship, said, “Barclaycard is really excited to be bringing the inaugural World Championships of this spectacular, fast growing sport to London. We feel the fluidity and freedom of movement associated with free running mirror the key needs of Barclaycard customers, especially those using the Barclaycard OnePulse card in London allowing contactless travel and purchases across the capital.”

Championship organisers, World Freerun Ents, share a similarly upbeat view of Barclaycard’s involvement. “World-class brands have been getting more and more into the freerun thing,” said Championship spokesman and Urban Freeflow supremo, Ez, “but we always make sure that we are comfortable with any commercial tie-ups and that they make sense for the freerun lifestyle. The clincher for us here is that Barclaycard’s global ambitions for the sport match our own.”

Barclaycard’s role as main sponsor complements that of associate sponsors Sony Ericsson, The Carphone Warehouse and Adidas.

Dave Hilton, Head of Marketing at Sony Ericsson, UK & Ireland said “Everyone at Sony Ericsson and The Carphone Warehouse are really excited to be an associate sponsor of the Barclaycard World Freerun Championships. The event is a celebration of artistic freedom mixed with high-value entertainment – the same attributes as the new Sony Ericsson C702 and W760i handsets. As experts in mobile entertainment, we’re proud to support this unique event by developing compelling freerun content for our customers.”

Jascha Muller, responsible for Global Sports Marketing at Adidas said, “Adidas is proud to support and sponsor the Barclaycard World Freerun Championships. Freerunning is an inspirational activity and adidas is working closely with the athletes to create the adiScape range; bespoke footwear and clothing that perform to the specific needs of the sport.”
