Natural Diamond Jewelry for the Holidays

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/KDumY7JPkNA ‘Tis the season for all things glitz and glam, and for showing the person you love how much you truly care. Unwrapping a jewelry box with diamonds inside is just about the most memorable gift experience you can have. The Natural Diamond Initiative at De Beers Group kicked off the holiday season with a nationwide satellite media tour sharing a selection of the best natural diamond jewelry picks from trusted fine jewelry retailers in every region, as well as tips and tricks to guide you on your journey of buying diamond jewelry for a loved one, for yourself, or for an engagement. Sally Morrison, Director of PR for Natural Diamonds at De Beers Group, shared that in a recently conducted OnePulse survey of 300 women, well over 80% said they would be “very excited” to receive a gift of natural diamond jewelry this holiday season. The single most wanted gift? Natural diamond ear studs. The next most popular choices were natural diamond rings, followed by diamond necklaces, such as a diamond solitaire pendant or tennis necklace. In addition, Morrison noted that the holiday season is the most popular time of year to get engaged, and that she has noticed two new trends — the choice of unusual natural diamond shapes like pears, hearts and marquises in classic solitaire settings, and a movement away from white gold and platinum settings to yellow and rose gold. Morrison also noted that interesting design is more important to fine jewelry consumers today: “We are witnessing a move away from the conventional wisdom that ‘bigger is better’ to a sort of new idea for the American market — that smaller yet natural diamonds can be more personal, more intimate, and more uniquely your own.” Indeed, one trend that the De Beers natural diamond expert noted was a new interest in exploring diverse designers, with 76 percent of women agreeing that they would be “ interested in seeing more diversity in natural diamond jewelry brands and designers.” Natural diamond jewelry offers a simple gift idea that is a surefire way to spark joy this holiday season. Natural diamond jewelry for this media tour was provided by trusted retailers Almasika, Ben Bridge Jeweler, Greenwich St. Jewelers, Helzberg Diamonds, Jared, Mateo New York, Matturi Fine Jewelry, MusexMuse, and Zales.

Putting the Brakes on Distracted Driving This Holiday Season

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/-m__hB55lSE The holiday season is here – and that means there will be an increase of motorists on U.S. roadways. With more families hitting the road, it’s an important time to discuss the dangers and consequences of distracted driving. The 2023 Travelers Risk Index on distracted driving found that 70% of consumers feel that distracted driving is more of a problem now than it was over the past few years. Following are additional highlights from the 2023 Travelers Risk Index: · 80% make or receive calls. · 57% use handheld devices. · 28% post on social media. · 27% take photos or videos. The Travelers Institute, the public policy division at Travelers, has been raising awareness of the dangers of distracted driving through its Every Second Matters® campaign – an initiative that began in 2017. Since the campaign started, the Travelers Institute has published a number of whitepapers and resources to help consumers understand the risks and learn how to be safe behind the wheel. The Travelers Institute was joined by Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT), the world’s largest telematics solution provider, which regularly publishes new distracted driving data insights and road safety reports throughout the year. According to its new report, The State of Distracted Driving in 2023 & the Future of Road Safety, CMT reports that the 23% surge in distracted driving in 2022 caused an additional 420,000 crashes, 1,000 fatalities, and $10 billion in economic damages. Additionally, a new analysis from CMT shows that distracted driving increased by 9.2% on Thanksgiving Day from 2020 to 2022. For more information, visit TRAVELERSINSTITUTE.ORG AND CMT.AI.

Introducing the 2023 Airbnb Winter Release: Making hosting even easier this holiday season

YourUpdateTV

Have you ever considered boosting your income while you're away visiting your loved ones for the holidays? Hosts across the us have been sharing their spaces on Airbnb for well over a decade and it is proving to be a vital tool to earn extra income. Recently, Airbnb Superhost, Stephanie Goodloe conducted a satellite media tour to talk about the Airbnb 2023 Winter Release and her experience hosting on Airbnb. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/D_19ZgLd3RI On November 8, following a year of near continuous improvements based on community feedback, Airbnb announced its 2023 Winter Release, which brings increased transparency and reliability across the platform, and so much more – just in time for holiday travel. Airbnb has more than 7 million homes all over the world. Each home is one-of-a-kind, and this uniqueness is what sets Airbnb apart. But with so much variety, it can be hard to know what you’re going to get. This is why many people prefer hotels, and it’s the #1 obstacle preventing them from booking on Airbnb. Airbnb introduced three major upgrades to help guests understand exactly what to expect before they book: Introducing Guest Favorites The best way to find a great place to stay is by knowing which homes guests love the most. That’s why Airbnb created Guest Favorites—a collection of the 2 million most-loved homes on Airbnb based on ratings, reviews, and reliability data from over half a billion trips. Great ratings and reviews Outstanding reliability Easy to discover on Airbnb Nearly two-thirds of Guest Favorites come from Superhosts, who’ve been recognized for their track record of outstanding hospitality. Revamped ratings and reviews Guests have left over 371 million reviews about their stays on Airbnb. These ratings and reviews are the best way to understand the quality of a home. But today, there is limited information on the ratings page, and it’s hard for guests to find reviews that are relevant to them. The redesigned ratings page includes three new features that make reviews easier to read and much more helpful. Review sorting Rating distribution More review details Introducing the Listings tab Managing a listing is one of the most essential parts of hosting because it’s how guests learn about a home. In fact, listings with more details can get up to 20% more bookings. But many listings are missing the details guests care about because adding them has been too difficult. That’s why Airbnb is introducing the Listings tab—a set of new tools for Hosts to easily manage their listing and showcase the details of their home. Listing editor AI-powered photo tour Smart lock integration Even more upgrades for Hosts In addition to the new Listings tab, the 2023 Winter Release includes even more upgrades for Hosts. Pricing visibility Compare prices New earnings dashboard New options for Co–Host payouts New Co-Host messaging Hosts can try new features today by enrolling in Airbnb Early Access. Smart lock integration will be coming to Early Access for listings in the US and Canada later this year. Pricing visibility and compare prices will be available next year. For more information on the latest upgrades, please visit www.airbnb.com/release, and check out all of the 2023 Winter Release Highlights. If you're interested in becoming a host, visit airbnb.com/host to sign up. About Stephanie Goodloe Stephanie Goodloe is an Airbnb Superhost of a cottage in Prescott, Arizona. After moving into her new home in 2014, she convinced her husband that renovating the cottage in the back of their property would be a great way to supplement their mortgage and generate some additional income. Almost 10 years later, her listing has over 500+ 5 star reviews – and hosting has given her the freedom to raise her family while exploring other entrepreneurial adventures. Above all, she really enjoys having a space where guests can enjoy their vacation while feeling at home and comfortable. About Airbnb Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home and has since grown to 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, Hosts offer one-of-a-kind stays and unique Experiences that make it possible for guests to experience the world in a more authentic, connected way.
