Debbie Siebers, the health & fitness industrys leading lady, revealed in a surprise announcement today that her womens apparel label, The Debbie Siebers Collection would commence its first national advertising campaign, in the mega-popular Womens Health & Fitness Magazine. The stunningly sensual ad will be featured in the June 2005 issue of the publication, due to hit news stands on May 24.



The advertisement is a piece of the Dress the Part" campaign for the clothing collection. In the ad, a muscular man gazes longingly at a striking woman in one of Siebers ensembles. The headline simply reads, He worships you. Dress the part."



We decided to debut this beautifully lush ad in Womens Health & Fitness Magazine, because they are one of the top publications for active women who care about their health, fitness, beauty, and fashion. These are the same women who are Debbies biggest supporters," said Chairman Don Polk of Romar Studios, Inc., the company in charge of the brand.



Womens Health & Fitness Magazine boasts a monthly readership of nearly 800,000-readers the Debbie Siebers management team believes will turn into clients as they discover the ultra-soft material, the comfort, and the high-quality production that goes into the clothing line.



Siebers, for one, is excited. I practically live in my casual & sportswear, as many women do. Instead of throwing on a pair of jeans to run to the market, I wear my workout clothes. Despite that, I still want to feel good in whatever Im wearing. Just because Im dressing in my casual clothes doesnt mean that I shouldnt be able to feel like a million bucks. The Debbie Siebers Collection allows that. Women will not only be extremely comfortable, but also feel gorgeous as well."



The shirts and pants are created with a breathable blend of cotton with a hint of rayon and Lycra to help the clothing keep their shape. The clothing may be best described as classic pieces, each with a bit of a fashion-forward edge.



Every woman has something about their body that they do not like. My clothing collection accentuates the positives of a womans body, while minimizing the negatives, allowing every woman to feel beautiful," Siebers explains.



For over twenty years, Siebers has inspired people to achieve physical fitness through her associations with Body-by-Jake, BeachBody, and Slim in 6. Over the past season on FOX Televisions hit reality show, The Swan," she starred as its health & fitness expert. The Debbie Siebers Collection is sold exclusively at www.DebbieSiebers.com.

Most companies could benefit from more effective pricing, according to Prof. Colin Coulson-Thomas. The latest stage of a continuing investigation reveals that almost all of 60 companies recently visited are missing opportunities to use pricing to improve profitability and build more rewarding relationships with customers.

Coulson-Thomas examines why it is that some companies are able to charge more than their competitors for essentially the same product and command premium prices for their offerings. He explains: “Pricing decisions impact directly upon sales revenues and profitability. Charge too much and orders are lost, while charging too little erodes margins and may give the impression that offerings are of low quality.”

Americas Watchdog's Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants is the most quoted source in the world on pharmaceutical and cigarette counterfeiting. The group is warning all US and global consumers to not purchase pharmaceuticals or cigarettes on the Internet, unless the consumer can verify the product is coming from the legitimate manufacturer.

According to the group, "With the severe global economic downturn, we are expecting counterfeiting of pharmaceuticals & cigarettes to go through the roof in 2009. Do you really think the Chinese or Russian crime syndicates care if their products kill people?" The group says," we have just discovered imported Chinese drywall in up to 300,000+ US homes built since 2001, that is so toxic, it could kill the homeowners, or make them very sick, and this was a supposedly legitimate product. The global corporate response to global counterfeiting is a to little, to late, approach. Your corporate reputations and your shareholders equity is on the line." For more information US or global media, and or pharmaceutical/cigarette manufactures should call the Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants at 866-714-6466 or contact them via their web site at http://GP-CC.com.
