Deluxe Launches New Season of Small Business Revolution, Filmed Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic

Deluxe Launches New Season of Small Business Revolution, Filmed Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic

The series chronicles how Deluxe and a team of entrepreneurial experts helped revitalize small businesses in Fredonia, New York

SHOREVIEW, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Deluxe (NYSE: DLX), a Trusted Business Technology™ company, today launched Season 5 of the acclaimed original series, Small Business Revolution. This season’s seven episodes are streaming now on Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and at www.sbr.org.

The fifth season of the show features small businesses in Fredonia, New York. The upstate New York community received the most votes out of the finalist towns from across the country to win Season 5. Business and entrepreneurial experts, led by series creator and host Amanda Brinkman, along with cohost and renovation icon Ty Pennington, returned to this quaint community in early March to begin filming. But plans quickly changed as the COVID-19 pandemic forced businesses to close their doors and filming to take place online.

“In our five seasons filming the show, we’ve never encountered anything as difficult as this,” said Brinkman, Chief Brand and Content Officer for Deluxe. “Our team and the small businesses in Fredonia made a giant pivot due to the pandemic. I’m so proud of what we accomplished, and I can’t wait for everyone to see this season.”

This past Spring, as states, cities and communities issued shelter-in-place orders and forced many small businesses to change their operating models, the Deluxe Small Business Revolution team dug in to help ensure the businesses selected in Fredonia could survive this new reality. Many of the businesses lacked on online presence and struggled to determine how to reach their customers. Not only did Deluxe business professionals work closely with the small business owners on things like logos, websites and marketing plans, but also to reach customers immediately to maintain cash flow that many desperately needed.

“The stories of business owners we showcase on Small Business Revolution are always inspirational, but this year, these episodes take on even more importance,” said Barry McCarthy, President and CEO of Deluxe. “This is truly the first series to chronicle what small business owners had to endure this year. I’m so proud of how our Deluxe is showing a path through the pandemic with Small Business Revolution.”

Seven businesses were selected this year from hundreds nominated to receive physical, marketing and financial makeovers. Each episode chronicles the marketing and business challenges faced by small business owners and how deluxe marketing products and services, along with physical makeovers paid for by Deluxe, help the businesses turn the corner. In addition, Season 5 partner U.S. Bank provided each business with financial advice, while Salesforce pitched in to help with financial gifts. This year’s businesses represent a diverse group of industries:

  • a floral shop;
  • a pizza, wings & sub restaurant;
  • a non-profit providing tutoring for adults;
  • an auto detailing shop;
  • a gluten free bakery;
  • a hair salon; and
  • a public golf course.

“I have always thought what Deluxe is doing with the Small Business Revolution is remarkable, but this year, it was truly incredible to watch these business owners change and adapt,” Pennington said. “What they have faced in 2020, along with small businesses across the country, is terrifying. But working with the Deluxe team to shed light on the struggles they’ve dealt with this year, I am unbelievably proud of what we have accomplished. I encourage everyone across the country to watch the show and support their local small businesses.”

Deluxe created the Small Business Revolution in 2015 to shine a spotlight on the power and passion of small businesses across the country. Now, with small businesses being some of the most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, they need our help more than ever. Each season, Deluxe invests $500,000 into the revitalization of one town’s Main Street through its small businesses. By providing business makeovers, financial advice, and investing in physical improvements, Deluxe showcases its commitment to small businesses through the series.

Season 5 is now available online, on Hulu and Prime Video. You can find previous seasons featuring the towns of Wabash, Indiana; Bristol Borough, Pennsylvania; Alton, Illinois; and Searcy, Arkansas.

Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting CEO Karen Abramson once again recognized as one of the Most Powerful Women in Accounting

Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting CEO Karen Abramson once again recognized as one of the Most Powerful Women in Accounting

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting CEO Karen Abramson has been named among 25 most powerful women in the accounting profession by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) and CPA Practice Advisor. This is the sixth time Abramson has earned a spot on the list that recognizes female leaders who are making the greatest impact on the tax and accounting profession.

As the CEO of Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting, a leading provider of software solutions and local expertise that helps tax, accounting, and audit professionals research and navigate complex regulations, comply with legislation, manage their businesses and advise clients with speed, accuracy, and efficiency, Abramson leads more than 6,600 employees worldwide across North America, Europe, AsiaPacific, and Brazil. Since joining the Tax & Accounting division, Karen Abramson has launched award-winning products, held global customer forums, and driven technology and innovation across the organization.

What sets Abramson apart as a leader is her understanding that the key to success lies at the nexus of operation and strategy – a strategy without the ability to execute is like having no strategy at all. She continues to build a global vision, a strong strategy driven by customer insights, and the processes to drive execution.

A group of independent judges reviewed the nominations and selected those who best embodied the following characteristics:

  • Being a driving force for innovation and excellence
  • Demonstrably contributing to the success of their own organization and the accounting profession as a whole
  • Providing guidance and leadership to contribute to the growth of the profession
  • Effectively representing the accounting profession through civic and community outreach

“This year’s group of winners are an excellent example of the impact that women are making throughout the profession,” said Gail Perry, editor-in-chief, CPA Practice Advisor. “These leaders serve as an inspiration to a generation of women who are starting their career in the profession.”

In addition to being honored by CPA Practice Advisor for a sixth time, Abramson’s past accomplishments include recognitions by the Stevie Women in Business Awards, by the SIIA CODiE Awards, and being named by Accounting Today as one of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Accounting.

Avon Tyres Featured on Restored Evel Knievel Motorcycle

Avon Tyres Featured on Restored Evel Knievel Motorcycle

Bike recently unveiled at Evel Knievel Museum

FINDLAY, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Avon motorcycle tires have been utilized in a recent restoration of Evel Knievel’s original 1968-spec ‘American Eagle’ Laverda, a bike on which Knievel made a host of jumps during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The famous stunt performer’s refurbished motorcycle was unveiled Nov. 6 at the Evel Knievel Museum in Topeka, Kansas. Avon Tyres is owned by the Cooper Tire & Rubber Company.

Restoration of the motorcycle began when Louis “Rocket” Re, a friend of the late Evel Knievel, and a stunt rider himself, tracked down the original Laverda several years ago. After receiving permission from the bike’s owner to carry out restoration work and display the vehicle at the museum, Re contacted Avon to confirm the bike’s original fitment of Avon Safety Mileage MKII tires and obtain a set of the brand’s current day Safety Mileage MKII tires as part of the restoration.

Dominic Clifford, Global Manager – Avon Motorcycle, said, “We are pleased to be involved in a restoration project that involves such an iconic motorcycle. Avon offers a line of classic tires that give motorcycles an authentic appearance with the benefit of modern-day technology. The Avon Safety Mileage MKII utilized in this restoration offers a period-look block pattern with a new compound design and the latest construction methods for exceptional grip, handling and stability.”

Re said, “This is my first experience with Avon Tyres and I really like the vintage style – I could see the quality craftsmanship right away. The like turned to love when I rode the bike with the new tires; I had great cornering traction and high-speed stability, and confidence equals a fun, safe day of riding.”

Robert Craig Knievel, known professionally as Evel Knievel, was an American stunt performer whose career spanned three decades from the 1960s to the 1980s. He attempted more than 75 ramp-to-ramp motorcycle jumps over the years, the majority of which were completed successfully. The motorcycle, which will be on display at the Museum for two years, can be viewed alongside other iconic items such as Knievel’s original Mack Truck.

For use in the most demanding environments, the VS290-32 is CAT IV 600 V safety rated for electrical inspections, along with an IP67-rated camera tip and IP54 base unit to protect against dust and water. The device features FLIR Systems’ patented Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX®), which improves image clarity by embossing visual scene details onto full thermal images, providing crucial context to accurately and safely assess and identify potential issues to prevent blackouts and asset failures. A low-profile tip and bright LED work light provides illumination for MSX in dark environments, including under manhole covers or in other tight spaces such as attics, within HVAC systems, and inside machinery.

“The ruggedized and electrical-safety rated videoscope with MSX will drastically increase the ease of thermal inspections within tight, hard-to-reach places at power generation plants, power distribution systems, manufacturing facilities, and for public safety, and building diagnostics inspections,” said Rickard Lindvall, General Manager, Solutions Business at FLIR Systems.

The VS290-32 features a FLIR Lepton® thermal sensor and offers the option of hot/cold color alarms, or isotherms, to quickly identify areas of concern across a temperature range from -10 to 400 degrees Celsius (14 to 752 degrees Fahrenheit). The device includes a dual battery charger along with lithium ion rechargeable batteries that each provide up to six hours of continuous use.

“Safety is Con Edison’s top priority,” said Andrew Reid, Section Manager for Engineering and Analysis in Distribution Engineering at Con Edison. “This new tool allows our crews to safely, efficiently, and effectively inspect vented manholes and identify potential problems without having to remove the cover or even having to enter the structure. This reduces the physical effort required by our crews, the time it takes to complete an inspection and enhances data collection activities to support our ongoing infrastructure planning and maintenance.”

The VS290-32 is available globally today for $4,999 through FLIR and authorized FLIR distributors. To learn more about the FLIR VS290, visit www.flir.com/VS290-32.
