Impressive Customer Relations at Manhattan Movie Theater

The AMC 19th Street movie theater in Manhattan scored an impressive customer relations coup on Saturday following the breakdown of the projector halfway through a showing of the new movie "Mr. Brooks," starring Kevin Costner and William Hurt.

When they could not fix the problem after about half an hour, the theater gave out free passes to see another movie at any AMC theater -- plus it refunded the patrons' admission price for good measure.

While some of the patrons had been impatient following the breakdown, I detected a strong positive feeling about this gesture among them as I waited in line for my refund.

This is the way that businesses of all types can score big with their customers: Go out of your way to show your appreciation for their patronage.

Pure Nickel Inc. of Toronto Anticipates Growth Over Next Two Years

Jay Jaski, CEO of Toronto, Canada-based Pure Nickel Inc., last night presented a financial and operating outlook for this nickel exploration company

Jaski, an executive with over 25 years of corporate, financial and business experience, has assembled an experienced and knowledgeable team of technical and business experts, to explore for high-grade nickel in a number of sites in Canada and elsewhere.

Four of its projects include: MAN Ni-Cu-PGE in Alaska; FOND du LAC Ni-Cu, in Saskatchewan; FOX RIVER Ni-Cu-PGE in Manitoba and XSTRATA NICKEL CANADIAN PROPERTY PACKAGE in William Lake, Manibridge and South Raglan properties.

In the case of Xstrata, the company recently signed an agreement to acquire ten nickel exploration properties from Xstrata Nickel. "This dramatically expands NIC's potential as it moves into the ranks of being one of North America's largest nickel exploration companies," the company said in a press release.

Jaski presented a case for high-grade nickel deposits in all of these locations. And with his strong background in business and finance, and the experienced team behind him, he expects that its valuation will increase substantially over the next two years from its current approximately $1.50 per share price

Pure Nickel became a publicly traded company in March 2007. Shares of Pure Nickel are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “NIC” and on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol ”PNCKF”".
