What else is on the horizon for Royal Purple Ladies? We would like to take a female owned, built, wrenched, raced or just driven to the 2013 <a href="http://www.semashow.com/" target="_blank">SEMA Show</a> as a Feature Vehicle. A Feature Vehicle will not be in our RP booth as we already have a great car we'll be unveiling, but will be placed in the Convention Center or around the show grounds. Show dates are Nov. 5 - 8, 2013.<br />
<br />
<b>What will be included:</b> Registration as a Feature Vehicle on behalf of Royal Purple and RPL and fees, Royal Purple wearables, brag board and a VIP dinner. Participate in the SEMA Show cruise in. Inclusion in a press release announcing the vehicle going on behalf of RPL distributed by our PR agency to all relevant media. <br />
<br />
<b>What will not be included but we can help you with pricing:</b> vehicle transportation (covered transport by Pilot), hotel accommodations <br />
<br />
<b>On Your Own:</b> Travel expenses to Las Vegas, Transportation from the airport if applicable and getting around Vegas while you are there, meals with the exception of the winner's VIP dinner, spending money. <i>You are welcome to get sponsors for your trip. SEMA allows the placement of decals on the vehicle if they are already SEMA Show exhibitors. You can also acknowledge any sponsors on your brag board.</i><br />
<br />
This opportunity is separate from the photo contest we'll run later this summer to send a car and truck to the SEMA Show as Feature Vehicles.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is not uncommon for women to
travel alone in the car to drive to work, run errands or go shopping.
Unfortunately, women who are unaccompanied are targets for robbery and assault.
You may think you're prepared should anything happen, but everything you learn may escape you if you actually find yourself in a situation. If you travel by yourself regularly, we encourage you to implement protective
measures and should have a plan in the event they find themselves in a
dangerous situation.</span></span></div>

situation. Whatever you do, do not go with the person to another location
regardless of promises that you won’t be hurt.<span>

<br />
The holiday season is all about convenience especially if you don't like to deal with the people and crowds at the mall. That's where Cyber Shopping comes in. According the National Cyber Security Alliance this year's online retail shopping sales figures are projected to be over $68 billion. <a href="http://www.royalpurple.logocompanystore.com/" target="_blank">Royal Purple</a> even got on board this year and ran a Cyber Monday special!<br />
<br />
Throughout the remainder of the holiday season retailers will continue to run online and social media promotions to entice the shopper to spend at their store. But with the convenience comes the risk of exposing yourself to cyber criminals via your home computer, laptop or mobile device. Here are a few tips to keep your personal information safe and your holiday season Merry.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Safe and secure shopping - </b>Install security software or apps on your device. In the last six months over 60% smart phone owners who shopped online have not safeguarded their device from viruses or malware. For computers and laptops this can programs from companies such as Norton, Symantec and Kapersky. Some internet providers will offer free security software as part of their service. Most computer security software is also available for mobile. Lookout and BullGuard are also good for tablets, etc.</li>
<li><b>How accessible are you? - </b>You have everything you need at your fingertips or at the push of a button, but how much are you risking? Cyber criminals are out there seeking personal and business records to access. According to a study conducted by the NCSA, 57% using mobile devices keep a list of personal contacts on their unsecured device unwittingly allowing access to not only you, but your circle of friends and business acquaintances. </li>
<li><b> </b><b>The best deal ever! - </b>We all love a good deal, but if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Be particularly wary of deals sent via social media and mobile that doesn't allow you to hover over the link to see where it directs before you click on it. </li>
<li><b>Use Wi-Fi wisely - </b>If you can avoid it, do not use public Wi-Fi when shopping online. This includes unsecured wireless networks and hotspots. Cyber criminals know that nearly 60 percent of Wi Fi
users access unsecured hotspots via their mobile devices. If you must use an open network, be sure you are using "Private Browsing" on your device. Using a 3G/4G connection to access the web directly on your phone is safer than an unsecured wireless network when on your
mobile device. </li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li><b>You're SOL if it's not SSL - </b>Before you buy make sure the site you are shopping on has an URL address that begins with http or https. This indicates that the purchase is encrypted and secure. The lack of SSL is a sure sign that the store is not a reputable one. </li>
</ul>
Have you had any Cyber shopping negative or positive you want to share with us? Anything from hassle free returns, favorite sites to shop or if your information was compromised by a cybercriminal? How did you handle it and what advice would you give to others? <br />

The sights and sounds of the holidays are everywhere and you have shopping to do! With the extended shopping hours and daily specials now through Dec. 25, there are precautions you should take. Unfortunately there are unscrupulous people out there who are waiting for the chance to take advantage of the busy shopper. Keep the following tips in mind when you head out this holiday season.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMx94TB2NGngCCg26XkwnrOw9jVSYm84pvbfj_OYj5z_HK3AC3aD9AokelsMRsncwQ1cRaWdiiqt4z8KCmaMiVG752HJQhQ09GP5lSSmYMUP7gd988WEdCsV_fz67WsQLR3QZuEOv2Xj8/s1600/tree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMx94TB2NGngCCg26XkwnrOw9jVSYm84pvbfj_OYj5z_HK3AC3aD9AokelsMRsncwQ1cRaWdiiqt4z8KCmaMiVG752HJQhQ09GP5lSSmYMUP7gd988WEdCsV_fz67WsQLR3QZuEOv2Xj8/s1600/tree.jpg" /></a></div>
<ul>
<li>Shop during daylight hours whenever possible. If you must shop at night, go with a friend or family member.</li>
<li>Dress casually and comfortably.</li>
<li>Avoid wearing expensive jewelry.</li>
<li>Do not carry a purse or wallet, if possible.</li>
<li>Always carry your driver's license or identification along with necessary cash, checks and/or a credit card you expect to use.</li>
<li>Even though you are rushed and thinking about a thousand things, stay alert to your surroundings.</li>
<li>Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.</li>
<li>Pay for purchases with a check or credit card when possible.</li>
<li>Keep cash in your front pocket.</li>
<li>Notify the credit card issuer immediately if your credit card is lost, stolen or misused.</li>
<li>Keep a record of all of your credit card numbers in a safe place at home.</li>
<li>Be extra careful if you do carry a wallet or purse. They are the
prime targets of criminals in crowded shopping areas, transportation
terminals, bus stops, on buses and other public means of transit.</li>
<li>Avoid overloading yourself with packages. It is important to have clear visibility and freedom of motion to avoid mishaps.</li>
<li>Beware of strangers approaching you for any reason. At this time of
year, con-artists may try various methods of distracting you with the
intention of taking your money or belongings.</li>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Tuff men wear pink”, said Terry Arnold, Executive
Director of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, as she addressed
almost 400 <a href="http://www.americanbassanglers.com/" target="_blank">Bassmaster Weekend Series</a> anglers from the South Central division.
Arnold was a surprise guest at the opening dinner for the Regional Championship that was held in Texarkana, TX, Oct. 11-13.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Her opening statement stemmed from the sea of anglers who had donned
pink to show support for their tournament crew member, Denise Trimble, who was
diagnosed with breast cancer in the spring of this year. Trimble sat speechless
as tears streamed down her face, overwhelmed by the love and kindness these
anglers had shown her and her husband, Porter Trimble, the South Central
Tournament Manager. “Faith, hope, and courage will carry you through your
journey as you dig deep to find your inner strength”, said Arnold addressing
Trimble. “I know you’re a strong woman, and with all these people supporting
you, you will beat this”, she said. </span></div>

Bassmaster Weekend Series and both Denise and her husband, Porter, have
promoted those products at each of their events for the past six years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">During a routine mammogram, it was discovered that
Denise had a mast in one of her breast. The tumor was small and undetectable
with self examinations. After consulting with her doctor she elected to have a
lumpectomy vs. a mastectomy and pathology would determine the next steps. The
surgeon removed the mast (which actually turned out to be three masts) and four lymph
nodes for pathology. The report showed one of the lymph nodes to have cancer
cells and it was determined that is was the ‘HER II’ form of breast cancer,
which is a very aggressive type. The course of action was then determined to be
chemotherapy followed by radiation. During all of this entire process, Denise,
being the strong person she is, remained optimistic and gathered as much
information as she could, concerning her condition and treatment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Denise began her chemotherapy treatments which would
last for five months-- with the first eight weeks being the toughest, both physically,
and mentally. During all of this, she insisted on continuing to work as a
paralegal during the week, and traveling with the South Central Region
Bassmaster Weekend Series crew on weekends - only missing one event which, in
fact, was the only event she’s missed in six years. The fishermen in the South
Central Region continually check on her and give her well wishes and prayers,
which is an inspiration for Denise, and gives her the motivation to continue on
with a positive attitude. She has said many times that the positive attitude
she has comes from the support of her friends and family.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As she completes her chemo and looks to the next
phase, Denise became involved with the <a href="http://ww5.komen.org/" target="_blank">Susan G. Komen Foundation</a> and formed a
team named that was featured in the Komen weekly newsletter because of the success
of the team’s local campaign raising awareness and funds. She is an inspiration
to all, and continues to be an advocate for other women to get routine
mammograms, knowing that early detection is the key.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">"I believe that everything happens for a reason
and never once have I questioned 'why me,'" said Trimble. "I’ve also been heard saying that there
is a blessing in all of this, and blessings have flowed my way from the very
beginning. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such as the evening of our
Bassmaster Weekend Series Regional Championship registration in Texarkana,
TX, when I was embraced with enormous love, support and encouragement from
our anglers (which I refer to as my extended family) with the “Team Denise”
campaign. The support by our anglers has been there from
the beginning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, at one of
our events all the anglers wore pink bracelets, and at another event a couple
of anglers donated rods for auction (with proceeds going to the Komen
Foundation in my honor), and there have been many other gestures of love and
kindness from them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, there’s been
the outpouring of support for our Susan G. Komen team (named “Cenla’s Breast
Friends for the Cure”) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in which our team
has maintained from the onset, the highest amount of donations and team members.
for an individually run team in my community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There have been special bonds and
friendships formed, not only for me personally, but also for my loved ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s not just my life that has changed
forever, but also the lives of so many around me through love and compassion",
she continued.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">"In all I have learned and taken the position
that there a few survival “must haves” for which the primary is support,"
she said. "The support, love and compassion has provided me with such
great fuel, strength and energy to fight this disease. This has come from family, friends, my
employers and co-workers, support groups and even the medical staff that I
frequently visit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Falling behind that,
is faith in our Lord and a positive attitude (which also stems from the love
and support of family and friends), and while there have been a couple of
“episodes” of sadness (brought on as one of the side effects of chemotherapy),
I quickly snapped out of them by reminding myself just how blessed I am and
that such sadness just simply hurts too much<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>… both emotionally and physically.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And the third “must have” is keeping active.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thank God that I am able to continue to
work am able to maintain (albeit low) some form of activity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those couple of episodes of sadness resulted
in me being house-bound for several days, which in turn made the physical side
effects of the chemo ten-fold painful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Too
bad it took the second<sup></sup> episode before I discovered this, otherwise
there would not have been a second<sup></sup> episode.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maintaining some sort of physical activity is
crucial, both physically and emotional", said Trimble.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">"We have made enormous leaps forward in the
fight against breast cancer, but it remains to be the number one cause of death
of women for cancer, and there must be more done. Until just a few years ago,
women with HER2 breast cancer (the form of cancer I have which represents
approximately 15-20% of breast cancers), women simply did not survive it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But through research, a drug was developed and
approved by the FDA a few years ago, called Herceptin, that is now extending
the lives of us with HER2 breast cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And, while it’s not a cure, women are living longer because of the drug.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope and pray, and have faith that
someday it will happen, that with appropriate funding and through research,
there will be a cure for breast cancer and all other forms of cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the time being, I remain blessed, embrace
life to the fullest, and I am a survivor", said Trimble with a resounding
voice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<br />
No one could believe I traded in my Beemer for a Fiat, but I had my reasons.<br />
<ul>
<li>For one thing I got a good deal from Fiat because it was the end of the month and 2013 models would be rolling out soon. </li>
<li>I would have never bought it unless it was a convertible. It's priceless to say I drove around topless to see the expression on people's faces. </li>
<li>I get an average of 32 MPG which is important because my commute to and from the Royal Purple offices is 63.4 miles round trip, five days a week.</li>
<li>The Bluetooth quality is amazing and I'm in love with hands free driving. It drives me crazy when I get behind men and women who are driving erratically because they are talking on the phone. Even worse is women who feel the need to put their makeup on in the car, but that's a whole other blog topic.</li>

The point of all of this is? What do <i><b>you</b></i> drive?<br />
<br />
I invite you to post a picture to our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/royalpurpleladies" target="_blank">RP Ladies Facebook</a> page, send it as a message or email it to me at <a href="mailto:msolomon@royalpurple.com">msolomon@royalpurple.com</a>. I've created a Pinterest board where I'll post what you submit. Daily driver, project car, truck, motorcycle, something unique that a guy would say, "no way a woman drives that!" We want to know what the Royal Purple Ladies drive!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01248275457185587686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7623932388324308824.post-10693173651197428182012-10-01T08:21:00.001-07:002012-10-01T11:15:37.378-07:00Geared Up & Gorgeous<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>In the Beginning - </b>One afternoon my <a href="http://www.royalpurpleconsumer.com/" target="_blank">Royal Purple</a> social media "Partner in Crime" Kyle and I were talking about our Facebook Fan Page insights. Our Facebook presence began in 2011 with the introduction of the webisode series <i>The Forum Wars.</i> Since then, we have been fortunate to have grown the main <a href="http://www.facebook.com/officialroyalpurple" target="_blank">Royal Purple Facebook Fan page</a> to over 265,000 fans.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As we reviewed our page insights, Kyle said to me, "What about the ladies?" and so the brainstorming began. When I initially submitted my page proposal to my supervisors, they responded that they didn't believe that it would be a benefit to separate the ladies from our already established community.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Go with Your Gut -</b> I had a feeling about our ladies' page, and someone once told me you should go with your gut because your first instinct is usually the right one. After careful consideration and research, I sent an email that said I respectfully disagreed with their decision. We discussed the ladies' Facebook page further and here we are!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>The Facts - </b>While it is no surprise that women in the automotive aftermarket industry are a minority, it doesn't change the fact that <i>women account for 85% of all consumer purchases including autos</i>. (<a href="http://she-conomy.com/">she-conomy.com</a>) Is brand awareness important? <b>Yes</b> - 92% pass along information about deals or finds to others and 80% would solidify their brand loyalty. Even more important to me is this statistic - <i>74% feel misunderstood by automotive marketers</i>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>What is Royal Purple Ladies? -</b> Our mission is to inform, educate and celebrate. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Inform and educate</i> - If you're not an automotive expert and you rely on your service department, mechanic to maintain your vehicle, we want you ask questions and make good decisions. There is nothing worse than feeling like you've been taken advantage of after you've paid the bill. There are simple steps to make sure you'll be safe on the road throughout the year and ways you can save on car costs and be "green" at the same time!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Celebrate!</i> There are so many ladies in the automotive aftermarket who influence and inspire us. Business owners, magazine writers and editors, spokespeople, experts in the automotive field, entrepreneurs, car builders, celebrities, leaders, and everyday gearheads who are also mothers, wives, sisters, aunts and daughters. I'll be looking for photos of your cool rides to post on the page and guest bloggers down the road.</span></span><br />
