Greetings!
Recently a client was surprised to find out all that LBM provided in PR and marketing services. I was surprised the client didn't know. But, I guess LBM has been flying under the radar lately. You see, we've been very busy providing clients a large array of services bundled and unbundled. That means, clients can access all our services or just one.
What I find really interesting is from an article in Advertising Age that discussed the ever changing face of agencies and what the agency of the future looks like. The agency of the future does PR, creates ads, brochures, catalogs, schedules media, works with the media, strategizes and implements campaigns, researches markets, does video and photography, provides full service social media applications and the latest growing trend was providing content.
I guess LBM is already looking like an agency of the future providing clients with a full-boat of services as above and about the growing trend of content building? Well, you are reading one example that we have been providing as a service to our clients now for three years and let's not forget Trainers Command Post - our latest content provider.

MGI Unveils New Logo Design |
 MGI is pleased to announce the release of a new logo that better represents the company brand and product lines. The rugged design was developed by Laura Burgess Marketing to help solidify the MGI brand in the mind of current and future buyers. The Hydra symbol, an established element from the previous branding, remains in the new logo design as it is a powerful element that connects current consumers and future buyers to the brand. The degraded texture is used to emphasize the rugged, tough and made-to-last quality of the Hydra Modular weapon system, while the "I" in MGI has been designed as a bullet casing to subtly emphasize the small arms development commitment of MGI. |

Laser Ammo Ltd. Provides Safest and Most Cost-Effective Laser Marksmanship Tool with SureStrike |
Laser Ammo Ltd. ("Laser Ammo"), manufacturer of the patent pending SureStrike™ dry fire system, provides the world's safest and most cost-effective laser marksmanship tools that improve skill while reducing training expense.
SureStrike transforms any fully operational pistol into a laser emitting dry-fire training weapon within a few seconds. The SureStrike has dimensions similar to those of a standard ammunition cartridge and is simply loaded into the weapon's chamber through the breech, then held in place with a safety pipe and nut.
Activated only by the firing pin strike, the SureStrike emits a microprocessor controlled, eye-safe laser pulse, or a "shot" of red light, which simulates the point of impact where a bullet fired from the pistol, would have struck. This immediate feedback results in rapid self correction and positive reinforcement. These advantages benefit a very wide range of users who can now realistically practice with their own handgun.
Incorporated in the SureStrike training kit is the UhrSecure™ safety system, which locks the laser cartridge into the chamber with a safety pipe and nut, thereby, creating a fail-safe mechanism that prevents the loading of a live round.
Laser Ammo's products can be purchased through selected retailers and distributors, as well as at the Company's web site, www.laser-ammo.com.

ISSC-Austria Selects Coyote Ridge Firearms as October Dealer of the Month |
Coyote Ridge Firearms, recently selected by ISSC-Austria as the Dealer of the Month, is located in Senecaville, OH, a tiny hamlet of about 455 people in Southeastern Ohio, not far from the intersection of Interstate Highways 70 and 77. The nearest city of any significant size is Zanesville, OH (pop 27,300) about 40 miles west. Being situated well outside of town in a rural setting hasn't stopped Ed Tolley and his expert staff from excelling in sales of ISSC-Austria's M22 pistol, the .22LR target pistol recently imported from Austria.
How did they become successful? No fancy schemes, just integrity, knowing what customers need and getting the guns into the people's hands. Coyote Ridge Firearms has a shooting range on the premises and that means whenever a buyer takes his gun from the register directly to the firing line they play a part in the best advertising of all. In the world of shooting, word of mouth is faster than a speeding bullet.
The shop usually stocks a selection of about 100 top name long guns and fifty handguns from superior manufacturers, including the M22 pistol from ISSC-Austria. The M22, Tolley said, is one of his best sellers because of its cost, reliability and low ammunition cost. It is used in the twice-monthly training classes that Coyote Ridge sponsors.
The popularity of squirrel hunting in the tri-state area rivals that of deer season. Ed Tolley told us that massive response for the ISSC-Austria MK22 Modern Sporting Rifle, available this October, was the direct result of customers finding Coyote Ridge Firearms on the dealer search page at www.issc-austria.com. Coyote Ridge Firearms will also be participating in the ISSC-Austria Sponsored World Simul-Shoot Championship, held Saturday, October 30th. Visit www.issc-austria.com/matches for more information. |
Visible Assets, Inc. is Awarded a $5 Million, Five Year Contract For Weapon Shot Counters From Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division |
Visible Assets, Inc.(VISIBLE™) has announced that it has been awarded a five (5) year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract for a maximum of US$5 million for RuBee™ shot counter tags. The contract was awarded based on Request For Proposal N0016410RJN87 "Weapon Shot Counter" (WSC), from Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division, to procure Weapon Shot Counter for the Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle (SCAR)/MK16/MK 17 rifle and M4. The WSC are intended to provide overall weapon maintenance and the prevention of catastrophic weapon failures. An initial $637,563.00 Purchase Order was placed for RuBee Ruggedized HandHeld Readers and RuBee shot counter tags.
VISIBLE has developed a family of shot counter tags for a variety of weapons. These tags include highly secure two way wireless RuBee data links, as well as, custom sensors and high gain, dynamic amplification CMOS technology. The tags are based on several custom integrated circuits designed by VISIBLE. These unique chip designs help reduce power consumption so the tags have a minimum five year battery life to a maximum fifteen year battery life in normal field use, with conventional coin size Li batteries. Long battery life wireless tags make it possible to permanently seal tags into a MIL-STD-810G rugged package. The advanced state machine CPU contained in the tags is capable of providing complex real-time signal processing, waveform analysis, round interval statistics and a programmable predictor of barrel wear based on barrel temperature histograms. Independent tests of the VISIBLE shot counter have consistently shown a 99% or better accuracy in basic shot counting mode.
The same shot counting tags also support full weapon visibility networks within any armory. Armory 20/20™, the VISIBLE automated armory system, provides real-time secure, fully automated weapons inventory, weapons issuance check in/out with full exit/entry management and weapons pedigree. RuBee armory networks provide high security with no significant eavesdropping, tempest, or target risk. RuBee is the only wireless technology that has been approved for use in secure areas within the United States. VISIBLE offers a number of automated armory visibility products and systems ( www.rubee.com/Armory), including Smart Storage Racks, GateGuard™, DoorGuard™ and Oracle based software application modules to manage multiple site armories. Armory 20/20 RuBee wireless networks have been installed and are in routine use in many US armories for over two years.
