What's in a name? Practically everything is in a products name. Sports Combines are very well known today, the word Combine is synonymous with words like Athletics, Speed, Performance and Agility, just to name a few. A Sports Combine is one of the most exciting events today connected with sports. There are now Combines in all sports, the main and most recognized Combine today is the annual NFL Combine which has a direct link to the NFL Draft. Whether it's a youth Combine, High School, College or Professional Combine, the main event is always the 40 yard dash. "The Combine 40" is a very familiar term and will give instant name recognition to the Combine 4.0 automobile.

According to Emory Williams, company President and CEO, "We were in talks with a foreign manufacturer and very close to a deal, but the group wasn't fully understanding the magnitude of what we had on the table. They were looking to manufacture a weak version of what we had presented to them, not realizing the full concept of Combines and the class of consumers the auto would attract by its name alone. Knowing this would not be the right union, we decided to walk away and continue the search."

Combine Motor Works has secured trademark rights to the name and is looking to have one of the finest automobiles in the world, nothing less. With the exposure of athletic Combines today, the "Combine 4.0" will have an immediate consumer following which will include athletes of all sports, professional and non-professional, die-hard sports fans, and the consumer who buys what's new just to make a statement.

Athletes work and train very hard preparing for their presence at the Combines, we are putting forth the same efforts to make the Combine 4.0 automobile one of the finest on the market today. "Great driving dynamics, good weight distribution and maneuverability are some of the areas we will pay close attention to, not to mention a roomy plush interior, comfort and style," added Williams.

Being available in two design classes, sports coupe and SUV, the Combine 4.0 will be tagged as the "True American Sports Car."

Says Williams "We will now continue making contacts with various manufacturers, looking for the right union. We know that once certain consumers see the Combine 4.0 on the car lot, they won't leave without it."

Lynn Thompson, an RN out of Fort Lauderdale found that "renting a motorhome is a cost effective, more comfortable and less stressful alternative to traveling by plane." Travelers also appear to be getting very frustrated with the invasive searches, missed connections and outrageous fees when flying. "The last time I flew," said Thompson, "I had to pay $20 extra per seat so my family could sit together, then they lost my luggage for which I had to pay extra as well, and my 86 year old grandmother was singled out and publicly humiliated when an overzealous security agent became suspicious of her colostomy bag. Another time, our flight was delayed and we just sat on the tarmac for hours." Thompson also noted that she was able to save almost $2,000 by preparing their own meals in her RV, eliminating the expensive hotels and restaurants.

Industry insiders believe that the increased demand in RV travel can be attributed to an educated consumer base that is tiring of the rampant nickel and diming and stress associated with air travel. According to farecompare.com CEO Rick Seaney, "The average fare for holiday flights is up as much as 20 percent over last year." People are beginning to realize that there are other choices and they want to maximize their travel experience.

Allstar Coaches operates their fleet of luxury motorhome rentals from strategically located depots in nine states. With full kitchens, luxurious cabins and modern technology, these vehicles are equipped to exceed the expectations of even the most discerning traveler.

"Folks are starting to figure out what many motorhome enthusiasts have known for years; that the benefits of motorhome travel far outweigh the costs," says Von Isanogle, Fleet Operations manager at Allstar, "and that is contributing to increased sales. Record breaking airfares and those crazy fees are only helping to take them off the skyways and put them onto the highways."

"Foreclosures have had a huge impact on home values," remarked John Evan Miller, a real estate analyst with Foreclosure Deals. "In almost every market, prices are well below their 2008 values, simply because there are so many homes available."

Foreclosure Deals (www.foreclosuredeals.com) presents the new data compared with values recorded in 2008 using an infographic available on their web site, and the impact of the foreclosure wave is clear. In many areas, home prices are extremely low, while rent prices are notably higher.

"Rents are up, and they're going to stay up," said Miller. "Even though it's the best market for homebuyers we've seen in over a decade, the recession made a lot of people reconsider spending at the time, so they rented. This drove up demand, and prices, for rental properties."

Despite the sluggish economy, Miller points out that this is the perfect market for real estate investment. He adds that mortgage interest rates are also at historic lows, creating other opportunities for value investing.

"Not only do you have rock bottom prices, you've got a terrific market to rent out your property while you wait for prices to rise. And they will rise. Home values will come back, but the days of 3.5% and 4% mortgages aren't going to be around forever. Once home values rise, those interest rates will rise too."

Experts currently predict average rental costs to be 4.5% higher than by the end of 2011 than their value last year, and up another 3% in 2012. In contrast, foreclosure homes currently offer savings of anywhere from 10% to 50% off market value. As buyers who put off buying a home during the recession look to start buying again once the economy improves, it will create the opportunity for big profits for foreclosure investors.

"In a great many cases, you're going to end up paying less on a monthly mortgage payment if you buy a home than you would in rent on the same property," said Miller. "Could there be a better reason to buy than that?"

"With sporting events and the need for greater fan loyalty growing annually by leaps and bounds, with no ending in sight, I thought now would be the perfect time to get on board with sports related products," says Emory Williams Jr., the company President and CEO.

Williams, an ex-football player and athlete, now an avid fan of all sports gave special thought as to what business area of sports he would venture into. "Making a full assessment of sports as a whole and realizing the role fans play in the equation, rally towels came to mind," explains Williams. "Fans want to be involved; giving them more to work with is the key to an intimidating/noisy stadium or arena. Sports Fans are the 'X-Factor.'"

Williams knows that a products name has a great deal to do with the products success, so Williams got busy on product name development and came up with what he felt was a true winner "The Heat-Wave Towel." The idea was helped by the Motown song from 1963 by Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, "Love Is Like a 'Heat Wave.'"

"The name lends itself well for products of this type, emphatic waving is exactly what the fans will be doing," adds Williams.

Today, the company has already developed a total of five different Rally Towel names (all are registered trademarks) with several more in development. Sports fans locally and nationally have been ordering the products from the company website. "We find that Miami Heat Fans love the Heat-Wave Towels," adds Williams. "They are a very big seller."

Although there is presently no affiliation between The Miami Heat organization and True Fan Sports (the two have already met for discussion) consumers and fans are already linking the two, buying for seasons start.

The Heat-Wave Towels will soon be available through department stores, athletic outlets, even the little corner stores, making sure everyone has access to the products. Says Williams, "We are also putting together a licensing division, allowing manufacturers the opportunity through licensing to produce goods under our trademarked names, this is a convenient way to help us build our brands."
