The company with the most dynamically developing market drugstore has already pasted its teenager years being in Hungary and became already known as a popular brand.

One of its important task of a brand is of creating the loyalty of customers.

The press and media representatives joined at the Gundel Restaurant/ Budapest were Rossmann – Hungary Managing  Director László Flórián welcomed the audience. In brief he outlined with the figures some data by saying, the Rossmann drugstore Hungarian subsidiary of the group last year increase of 8.9% in gross, revenue of 47.5 billion HUF. It has been on a steady growth path after living through the crisis years. He also added, the number of stores having 179 since 2011 increased in 2013 up to opening the 184 store. The number of staff in 2011 was 1145, in 2013 was 1201. Greater emphasis has been on the qualitative expansion … eight small stores had went through “face-lift” whereas a completely renovation was carried out and the positive enviroment was equal to the positive reception which was measured 30% of increase of sales at these stores. Developing the webshop was unique by itself in Hungary and more than 6,000 different  products  are delivered within two weekdays. The shoppers may pick up the products at their national post office, or at one of the 125 MOL petrol stations. Furthermore, launched more than two years ago the Rossmann’s Baby Program and there can be to followed the coming up different special offers. This year, the drugstore was the first to open its Maternity Club, which is chat corridor on a monthly base with an online nurse on the end. Another significant event was the installation of the FB Club, where in addition to the intense daily communication, periodic games awaited the FB fans. One of the hot shots for mainly men was of last year’s Football WC which was on the telly. At the time being more than half-a-million men played on the Rossmann’s website, figuring out the number of goals in the Toto game.

Thereafter we heard the following from Anita Varga – Rossmann – Hungary Marketing Manager, Quote: “After a long time Rossmann decided to bring to life their new image. Between September 7 till October 31 through the electronic media will be broadcasting on the domestic National TV channels, two kind of advertising videos. After having in mind the idea of advertisement, we thought the drugstore’s new image couldn’t be better than to bring a person from the Hungarian celebrity world who has a unique, reliable, caring and being cool at the same time. So we came up with choice of Attila Árpa – producer-actor who was not only pleased to accepted our invitation to be the face in our company’s new image, but also to hear about shooting the video as the third one along with his wife and daughter.

At the end of the presentation asked Rossmann Hungary Executive Director László Florián: Are they funding, supporting any institutions in Hungary?  A.: “As in the previous year, this year again the Rossmann Company will be giving Xmas gift packages at Szeged to the  ÁGOTA Foundation  (A state care and support for vulnerable young people in charitable organization.) Also supporting the  Hungarian youth  handball and water polo players with equipments and last but not least will be having for the second year to come this season the“Xmas Run”, jointly organized  with the Sport Bureau Budapest (BSI). It will be arranged on the 6th of December, 2014. „  Q.: What will be Rossmann  company’s  future plans, challenges for the year 2015 in Hungary?  A.: „Marketing… continuing TV adds …  providing, upgrading webshop service …  renewing quality of 25 stores throughout the country”.

Saying that, once again the good idea can take a lot of it and at the Rossmann Drugstore where at the shelves everybody can find affordable and high quality products without hopping over to another drugstore present in Budapest or at other city’s Rossmann store in Hungary.

One should also not forget that this is still a young company and they manage to keep their prices down, despite the unstable exchange rate. This coming Season of Fall, the Rossmann store’s shelves will be filled with their own new series of products. One which will most probably catch the ladies eyes will be namely the Rival de Loop Young products which were out on display during the press presentation and we could have a good look at the products.

The advertising campaign’s launch at the same time Rossmann Store new logo, saying

“We know what you want.”

ABOUT “CAFFEINE” NOT JUST FOR THE BODY TO BE FIT AND FRESH!

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , .

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Get a good start on  healthy, great-looking hair … the key to this lock is Caffeine in the hair care!

 

Found it all out at the  ALpecin hair treatments press call,  held at the Magnolia day spa, whereas  Dr. Adolf Klenk the Head of Research Department  – University at Jena/Germany held a  presentation saying  a few words about the research background. Q.: Caffeine is not just to keep your body fit and fresh, but upon a series of major research carried out by  Dr. Tobias Fischer – professor and his team  at the University of Jena/Germany  tested live 600 hair follicles with the effects of caffeine and found the path to give the end to the struggle of having healthy hair. To boost hair roots decrease with the effect of Caffeine hair products goes just as well for women and men.” Regarding  to the conducted survey carried out countrywide in the past few weeks on the preferences of the Hungarian population, was related to appearance, on hair care habits and upon opinion on hair loss. The survey conducted here in Hungary of 1000  individuals. It was also said that these products are available at leading pharmacy or drugstores. Last year two million bottles were sold in Germany  so caffeine must be the solution to have the boost in healthy growing hair for men and women.  It’s proved to stimulate hair roots and prevent hair loss. Was said that not only one bottle would be enough on the run to have forever boosting healthy growing hair … it is like having a cup of coffee at occasions, but these hair cares can be in the everyday’s use  or  based on ourselves regular treatment.

Quoting in brief the presentation: “It is no coincidence that more than 10% of men struggling with hair loss, 22% of Hungarian women would not date a bald man. These men would at least  give a half-year of their life to reverse the process. The research showed that men are almost as vain as women, and the morning preparation takes nearly as much time for men as for women. The research reflects that the most important factors when women are judging men, is healthy hair besides the clean and fragrant presence. So the topic of the survey was the appearance and the different aspects of the related preferences of men and women. It looked for the answer to the question of how vain Hungarian people are. The result for that question was quite surprising …  the Hungarian population is far from vain, moreover, men and women showed very similar results. While men are vain to an extent of 2.8 on a scale of 5, women reached 3 points on the same scale. It is interesting to note that there is a difference between types of settlements, which is proportional to the size of the settlement shows downward trend. While people living in the capital are vain with the point of 3.1 on a five-point scale, while in the case of the smallest villages, this number was only 2.8. The research firm also examined the time spent on morning preparation, and 4 out of 5 asked, told that they spend less than 30 minutes on preparation after waking up. In addition, women and men spend almost the same time for that.

The research shed light on the fact that Hungarian women look at the eyes of a man first, and the most annoying thing is their big belly. To the question of “What makes a man well-groomed?”, they replied that clean appearance, good fragrance and healthy tonsure are the most important factors. Furthermore, it turned out that 22% of women would  not date a man who is bald, and 30% of them told that it has an effect on their first impression if the man is bald. The issue of hair-loss is significant for men too, as after being overweight, baldness is what bothers the stronger sex the most in connection with their physical condition. The list continues with erectile dysfunction, other illnesses and fatigue. The research shows that baldness is a determinative issue considering social life, since one in 10 men has issues in their private life because of hair-loss, maybe this is why 13% of men struggling with hair loss would devote at least half-year of their life to reverse the process. According to the results of the research, baldness bothers men the most between the age of 18-29 and between 50-59. And 44% of men believe that the most important factor causing hair-loss is stress. This figure is followed by hormonal problems and vitamin deficiency. However, the main true reason behind the baldness of men is Testosterone, since the Testosterone-excess during puberty causes the facial hair to grow, and (in the case of hereditary predisposition) the activity of the hair roots of the scalp decrease. The growth periods of the hair shorten and the life of hair roots decrease.  ALpecin tries to offer a solution just for this issue with the effect of Caffeine,which counterweights the negative effect of Testosterone and this way copes effectively with the causes of hair-loss,  for those men, who struggle with hair-loss, may change their lives in the future.”  

Last year two million bottles were sold in Germany  so caffeine must be the solution to have the boost in healthy growing hair for men and women.

After the presentation, the Magnolia Day Spa – Budapest enchanted the invited guests and press representatives to a couple of demo  treatments. The spa crew was absolutely kind and attentive. wonderful experience!

The play was brought by the  Kherson’s – Mikula Kulis Theater – Ukraine to the audience at the Water Theater at Szarvas. The evening’s  protagonist Hasid is famous in his homeland in the film industry. He  was the  protagonist in the movie “Chernobyl”  which will be running at the Cannes Film Festival.

The Master and Margarita is not the only  showing the 20th century Russia, but also one of the vertices of the universal literature. A multi-layered creation interpreted many ways since its was released. It fulfills a  mixture of a lot  genres and styles.  Never-the-less, they form a more or less unified whole. The mysterious history shows the multi-threaded Bulgakov of acts  and the contemporary Moscow.  The play takes us back in time to Biblical Judea area, where Jesus and Pontius Pilate shows the very realistic life, everyday events through the mythical legends in time and space. Brilliant satire and philosophical works of Bulgakov from the XXth century.  The performance actually include our two thousand years. The Mikula Kulis Theater’s   Pilate and Jesus  is processing of personal history, director – Sergei Pavlo Nikolajevich. Brilliant stage venue, superb acting performances, so unique  planning.

Indeed a salute goes out to the extraordinary theatrical performance in also celebrating  the Ukraine’s Independence anniversary. After the Ukraine’s Independence celebration,  Dr. Imre Lázár – Human Resources Department – International Cultural Relations Department, Alexander Zhuravchak – Deputy Minister of Culture of Ukraine, Mykhailo Junger – Ukraine interim charge d’affaires, Vaszil Visinanyuk – honorary consul of Hungary,  Mihály Babák – Major of the City of Szarvas, László Szabó – Secretary-Hungarian Theater Company, Dr Peter Hoppál – Secretary of State for Culture – Ministry of Human Resources, Péter Fekete –  Director – Jókai Theater at Békéscsaba and Water Theater at Szarvas, Zoltán Seregi –  Manager Director at Jókai Theater at Békéscsaba, András Casztvan Director – Cervinus Teátrum  Szarvas, Dr. Gyula Fodor – Deputy Rector – II.

The work only saw the light of day a quarter of a century after the author’s death, 1966-1967. Since then, however, among of the most widely read and analyzed literary works. Surely, one of the largest real classic creations, which have had been still ongoing, processed countless times in the theater and film industry. Was a splendid night at  Szarvas brought superb art by the Ukraine artists  by the  River of Körös at  the Water Theater.

BUDAPEST – HUNGARY GETS ITS FIRST BITCOIN ATM AT THE ANKER CLUB

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized.

LEARNING ABOUT BITCOIN –  HUNGARY – ATM

 The application was announced at the press briefing by Taylor Tyler –  Bitcoin Service

Hungary ATM Hungary’s first Bitcoin ATM can now be found in the downtown at Budapest inside of the well-known coffee-house Club Anker. The Octarine Labs-owned ATM was manufcatured by the Lamassu company and will change Hungarian Forint banknotes into Bitcoin in 15 seconds and aims to accommodate those who are afraid of personal Bitcoin or online exchange bitcoin dealings.

An individual can insert a minimum of HUF 2000 and change them into Bitcoin, which will then be transferred to the user’s mobile wallet via QR scanner, or printed on a paper wallet. Bitcoin value is priced via the Bitstamp exchange, a Slovenian-English owned market.

In the event that trouble arises when interacting with the ATM, Octarine Labs offers support in English and Hungarian during Club Anker operating hours.

Octarine Labs CEO Barnabás Debreczeni talked about the bitcoinist.net:

“We want to make sure that we comply with all laws in Hungary. I’m really excited for the ATM to be in this place because it’s really central for Hungarians and tourists as well. I’d love to see 1000 transactions before Christmas. I’m expecting both Hungarians and tourists to come in and use the ATM, especially when tourists will be able to cash out.” Debreczeni said that by next summer, he hopes that tourists will be able to use his ATM to get cash cheaper than they could through traditional ATMs. He added that they already have people interested who are not part of the tech world, saying “The ATM is a catalyzed in a way, because people who are not from the tech world get into this new world or economy through it.”

The Octarine Labs press release says that Forint banknotes are changed into Bitcoin through an English account of the company in order to guarantee compliance with tax regulations and the legal environment. By the end of 2014, Octarine plans to upgrade the ATM so that it can also change bitcoins into Forint banknotes. Debreczeni says, he is aware that the general audience in Hungary is uneducated about Bitcoin, and he believes that the ATM is the most suitable and comprehensible way to conduct Bitcoin education; “an ATM in its physical appearance in a safe public place.”

Octarine Labs was founded in 2012, specializes in IT consultancy and development with a Bitcoin focus, and employs a group of five.
