There are so many ways to make travel and safety co-exist - are you doing your part? When I travel, which is fairly often, there are little things that I do to make things easier for myself, security and those waiting behind me on the check-in line. You know, that endless line that seems to go on forever; the place where privacy has no place.
No matter how cold it is I wear my sandals -sometimes with socks- that slip right off. I don't wear anything with metal or wire - anywhere! No belt buckles or cute buttons - nothing that can set off the dreaded alarm! All my carry-on items are in a clear bag, whether it is a backpack or gym bag, both fit in the overhead bin. My toiletries are in a clear pouch in the front of side pocket of my carry-on. I also carry a checkpoint friendly laptop bag so I no longer need to remove my laptop and put it in the plastic bin. No chance of me dropping it - or forgetting it - in my haste to get my things. Thanks to the TSA who wanted to speed up check-in time and reduce breakage! They created guidelines that gave specific instructions as to what makes a bag checkpoint friendly. It must lie flat, nothing can be in with your laptop and nothing can obstruct your laptop from the x-ray machine. Simple as that.
Where can you find great quality items that make travel easier! Right here at S1 Bags! Alright, this blog is a direct promotion of my company - but can I help it if my company has designed and developed a line of bags that make safety and convenience possible! You can find our checkpoint friendly bags at www.s1checkpointfriendlybags.com and our clear bags and backpacks at www.s1bags.com. Don't get confused - just because S1 has a line of clear bags and backpacks it is NOT the clear that makes our checkpoint friendly bags checkpoint friendly! It is the design - your laptop is in a fully padded compartment and there is a clear flap in front for your boarding pass, id and peripherals - another great feature of our bags!
We know you will love the quality of our products and the way they make it easier to travel. Be part of the solution - carry an S1 bag and cut down on the time you spend on security checkpoints. Visit our web sites and find out why we are S1 - the CLEAR Advantage!

More Social Networking.
As we all navigate these new waters of on-line social networking I wanted to bring a new site to you all. Perfect Networker, the online home for serious business professionals.
Perfect Networker Online is one of several tools created to provide you with a comprehensive business networking system, designed specifically to allow you to create, strengthen and nurture long term, win-win, mutually beneficial relationships with other business professionals who make relationship building a priority in their business. You can learn more about them at www.perfectnetworker.com - and right now they are offering a free life-time membership to the first 1000 people that sign up on their network - just tell them Dori sent you!
Personally I think this is a great site - they are new and innovative and are doing all they can to be cutting edge - so look for new features on a regular basis.
One of the biggest things I have learned about being an on-line presence is getting your name out there in more than one network. Also - it is very important to fill in the little things they ask like your favorite movies or books. Believe it or not, people can find out who you are with these little things. In the beginning of my on-line journey, I always left this blank because I was there for business - not to make friends! Well - I quickly learned that business often develops when people see that they have things in common with you. Simple things can make you interesting as you develop an on-line network of people. Our diversity is what makes us unique and our likes bring us closer to someone that may be on the other side of the country or the world for that matter! Guess what - it really is a world wide web!!!
I am constantly amazed at how our products strike a cord in the network that I am building. Who would have thought that trying to keep our schools safe by designing clear bags and backpacks would branch out into shipping to Australia for correctional facility officers! Go figure - I am just a mom who wanted to make a difference. See for yourself how our products can assist you - visit us at www.s1bags.com and let me know what you think. How can we help you or your company or your not for profit group - please - let me know how!

Does Networking Really Work!?!?!
So - does networking really work? As someone who is becoming a queen of the networking scene I can attest to the fact that networking is the way to go. Utilizing the internet and the great networking sites out there can really open your company up on a global scale - but you have to be sure to make the most out of your time.
If you are looking for business networking check out ShopInUSCities.com and their networking capabilities. They are brand new and on the cutting edge. FastPitchNetworking.com is another great avenue for making the most out of your computer.
Believe me, the internet has opened me up to contacts that I never would have made otherwise, but I think I will always prefer the one-on-one meeting - but that is because I am more old school and have to get out of my own way and join the new century!!!
Make networking really work for you. Follow up with your leads and contacts and devote a specific amount of time each day or week to connecting with those sites that can promote who you are and the mission behind your company.
Find ways to brand your company and your logo so when people think of that product or service, they think of you! For my part - when people think of clear bags and backpacks I want them to think of Dori and S1 bags. Yes, that's right - I am the classiest "bag lady" out there and want my network to know that - so when you think of see-through bags that will speed your time at security checkpoints or brand your company and your logo as cutting edge think of dori@s1bags.com. Together, we can make a difference and make networking really count!!!

New Alliance Brings Fund Raising Flexibility to YOUR Community
Following a successful collaboration to provide safe backpacks filled with school supplies to the Deerfield Run Elementary School in Laurel, the two principal benefactors have formed a long-term alliance to help kids throughout the entire area. ShopInUSCities.com, whose local website ShopInLaurel.com facilitated the Deerfield Run donation, and S1 Safety First, the distributor of the see-through backpacks, announced their alliance today. “S1 really stepped up to the plate. They are matching our model of giving half of our revenue to the community” said Glenn Garnes, founder of ShopInUSCities.com.
Whereas ShopInUSCities.com places half of its revenue into a separately-managed college scholarship fund for use by local residents who sign up for the free service, S1 is giving half of its revenue to the organizations who make the specialty bags available to their members through a unique fund-raising approach. “Car washes and bake sales can’t match this kind of approach – these folks can make real money for their organizations while providing a product that people really want and many school systems are now requiring” commented Dori DeCarlo, President of S1. Indeed, because they minimize the chances that drugs or weapons can be brought into schools, see-through backpacks are now required in some schools in at least 35 states.
The fundraising approach is focused on ease-of-use to encourage participation. Organizations simply email their members to make them aware of the S1 products, including a full line of clear bags, backpacks, wheelchair bags, sports bags, travel bags and wheeled backpacks, and the members enter the code unique to that organization when they purchase from the S1 website. With the bags retailing between $22.95 and $49.95, the organizations can pocket between $11.90 and $24.90 of every sale. The organizations can also place links on their own websites or hold special events to generate sales.
The S1 products are also being made available for retail purchase at participating merchants that are part of ShopInUSCities.com. For every sale made at these merchants’ storefronts, S1 Safety First will donate an additional 5% to the merchant scholarship fund.
This new fundraising option supplements the existing fundraising strategy being used by organizations who partner with ShopInUSCities.com, giving them one more option. Under that approach, the organizations empower their members to sign up merchants to participate in the community websites operated by ShopInUSCities.com. In addition to helping the community by facilitating substantial contributions to the merchant scholarship fund, the organizations benefit financially by keeping a percentage of each listing fee. These fees continue to provide long-term funding to the organizations because they are paid each year when the merchants renew their participation.
About ShopInUSCities.com
ShopInUSCities.com's main focus is using funds provided by merchants who participate in their community websites to fund scholarships for college-bound children in those communities. Merchants pay a fee to participate in a local merchant directory and half of that fee is contributed to the scholarship fund. The company also maintains a community email list of member residents who are eligible for prizes and special savings offered by participating merchants, and free access to community events and workshops offered throughout the year.
About S1 Safety First
S1 Safety First was founded by a mom concerned for her kids’ safety. Initially begun to assist with the safety measures being implemented in schools, S1 is now on the forefront of addressing these issues nationwide in sports arenas, airports, institutions and in workplaces where security personnel need to monitor large volumes of people. The products are constructed of heavy-weight, temperature-resistant vinyl, fabric- lined and reinforced seams, and carry a 3-year warranty against manufacturers’ defects. They were also developed with chiropractors to incorporate and ergonomic design. Utilizing curved padded straps and a waist belt to evenly distribute the weight of the materials inside, they are clearly safer, clearly stronger and clearly more comfortable than other products on the market.
