ENERGETIX Dis­trib­u­tor Chan­tal Frey­mond at Renée Piguet’s fair stand

The pro­fes­sion­al fair stand of suc­cess­ful ENERGETIX Mar­ket­ing Direc­tor Renée Piguet deserves a spe­cial men­tion. With its wide selec­tion of ENERGETIX jew­ellery and pro­mo­tion­al mate­r­i­al, her well orga­nized and attrac­tive stand real­ly caught the atten­tion of the inter­na­tion­al vis­i­tors to the 10-day Comp­toir Suisse fair held in Lau­sanne last September.

„Fit dur­ing the lunch break“ – this is the mot­to under which ENERGETIX has intro­duced fit­ness train­ing ses­sions for its staff. The mot­to is based on the com­pa­ny’s slo­gan, „Fit for the next decade“.

ENERGETIX is giv­ing its staff at its head­quar­ters in Bin­gen on the banks of the Riv­er Rhine the once-week­ly oppor­tu­ni­ty to train, loosen and stretch their mus­cles, in oth­er words to stay or get fit … and to do so eas­i­ly dur­ing the lunch break.

Reg­u­lar fit­ness train­ing with a pro­fes­sion­al coach
Under the pro­fes­sion­al guid­ance of per­son­al train­er, Julia Rit­tner (those who attend­ed the annu­al start-of-year event in Will­in­gen were already able to see Julia in action), the exer­cis­es will focus on using stretch bands and exer­cise balls: any­one can join in with this mod­er­ate train­ing because the exer­cis­es have been adapt­ed to the „Frog Team’s“ require­ments and needs.

The exer­cis­es with stretch bands and balls will be aimed at strength­en­ing the upper back, neck and lum­bar areas. Pre­cise­ly those regions that fre­quent­ly suf­fer in day-to-day work.

A pre­ven­tion oppor­tu­ni­ty that has been glad­ly tak­en up
The response is pleas­ing and many mem­bers of staff have tak­en up the offer and have joined in the fun. Due to the enthu­si­as­tic recep­tion, sev­er­al 30-minute train­ing ses­sions have now been organized.

Insid­ers were already aware of the fact that ENERGETIX Bin­gen had suc­ceed­ed in win­ning Ronan Keat­ing to mod­el its prod­ucts. So our female mod­el, Franziska Knuppe, will be joined by the glob­al­ly suc­cess­ful singer from Ire­land in pre­sent­ing the new jew­ellery col­lec­tion in the 2013/2014 catalogue.

Inter­na­tion­al success
Ronan Keat­ing achieved glob­al fame as the lead singer of the boy group, Boy­zone. His solo career, which com­menced in 1999, has also been high­ly suc­cess­ful. His most recent suc­cess is his new stu­dio album enti­tled „Fires“ with which he will be tour­ing in 2013.

Live in con­cert: includ­ing a back­stage meet­ing in Frankfurt
ENER­GETIX’s man­age­ment took the oppor­tu­ni­ty pre­sent­ed by the Ger­many leg of Ronan Keat­ing’s „Fires“ tour to meet the singer in per­son before­hand. He was hap­py to take time out before his con­cert in Frank­furt’s Jahrhun­derthalle on 17 Feb­ru­ary 2013 to meet with ENERGETIX Sole Share­hold­er CEO, Roland Förster; COO, Dr Klaus-Peter Thiel; Jew­ellery Design­er, Janine Eisen­hauer; and Art Direc­tor, Jörg Olejnik.

The singer was vis­i­bly pleased and the good feel­ing and casu­al atmos­phere at the meet­ing con­firmed the deci­sion to choose Ronan Keat­ing as the celebri­ty mod­el for ENER­GETIX’s next cat­a­logue. Every­one is look­ing for­ward to work­ing togeth­er in the future!

By the way: Ronan Keat­ing will be join­ing us as the guest star at the Cat­a­logue Launch in Berlin to treat those attend­ing to an exclu­sive con­cert on the large Estrel stage.

Fans of Ronan Keat­ing and Boy­zone will also have some­thing to look for­ward to this win­ter because the group will be tour­ing in the UK and Ire­land to cel­e­brate their 20th anniversary.

Janine Eisen­hauer with her inter­na­tion­al team

ENERGETIX Bin­gen’s head of jew­ellery design Janine Eisen­hauer invit­ed the mem­bers of her inter­na­tion­al jew­ellery design­er team to col­lect ideas togeth­er and devel­op new con­cepts. So they all got togeth­er on 29–30 Novem­ber 2012 for an inspir­ing meet­ing in the com­pa­ny’s offices in Bin­gen am Rhein.

Work­ing out new ideas: the ENERGETIX jew­ellery designers

In addi­tion to Mar­cel­la Fer­ret­ti and Brit­ta Rejek who work in Bin­gen, Janine Eisen­hauer’s team includes three ‚exter­nal‘ jew­ellery design­ers work­ing in oth­er places: Silke Prot­tung, Johan­na Spath, Johannes Tsopanides and Robin Ash­by from the UK. ENERGETIX art direc­tor Jörg Ole­jnik joined them to get an impres­sion of the new col­lec­tion for his graph­ics work on the catalogue.

The meet­ing focused on devel­op­ing fresh ideas for future ENERGETIX col­lec­tions and iden­ti­fy­ing new themes that will then be fleshed out by the jew­ellery designers.

Quo vadis?
The course was set for future cre­ations dur­ing these days in Bin­gen. But what styl­is­tic direc­tions will the red ENERGETIX frog take next season?

Mood­board

We can­not reveal too much at this point, of course – all we can say is that the pro­gramme includes fur­ther devel­op­ment of exist­ing cat­e­gories, improve­ment of the jew­ellery sys­tems and sat­is­fac­tion of dis­trib­u­tors‘ wishes.

From min­i­mal­ist to glam­orous, from sym­bol­ic to del­i­cate and roman­ti­cal­ly play­ful — the spec­trum of themes devised for the 2013/2014 col­lec­tion is very var­ied. As well as good luck sym­bols, large stones and nature motifs, oth­er fun­ny mon­sters and new mate­ri­als are planned. One thing is cer­tain: it will be a colour­ful collection!

It will be inter­est­ing to see what imag­i­na­tive cre­ations Janine Eisen­hauer’s high­ly moti­vat­ed design team will sur­prise us with in the future.

The start-of-year train­ing orga­nized by Josette Desas­sis for the French, Eng­lish and Swiss ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors in her down­line was held in the south­ern French city of Toulouse from 18 to 20 Jan­u­ary 2013. Around 120 com­mit­ted and high­ly moti­vat­ed dis­trib­u­tors accept­ed her invitation.

As a pre­lude to the week­end pro­gramme, par­tic­i­pants were tak­en on a guid­ed tour of the city on the Fri­day after­noon. It gave them a wel­come oppor­tu­ni­ty to get to know the city of Toulouse, with its Capi­tole and the Romanesque Saint Sernin Basil­i­ca, as well as get to know one anoth­er — in chilly win­ter temperatures!

Train­ing with Nadine Coquillat

On the Sat­ur­day, STARCLUB mem­ber Josette Desas­sis wel­comed the guests and opened the start-of-year event. Then came a train­ing ses­sion with Nadine Coquil­lat, who addressed the top­ics of how to enhance per­for­mance and self-confidence.
After this Fabi­enne Chaboud, a dis­trib­u­tor with 15 years‘ expe­ri­ence as a jew­ellery expert, offered a wealth of tips on how to pro­fes­sion­al­ly and effec­tive­ly orga­nize pre­sen­ta­tion tables.

A par­tic­u­lar trib­ute was paid to the most suc­cess­ful dis­trib­u­tors, who received spe­cial awards for their achievements.

Sun­day’s pro­gramme start­ed with a sem­i­nar on online train­ing con­duct­ed by Anke Hesse-Michaelis, fol­lowed by mar­ket­ing plan train­ing with Michel Obéron and Anke Hesse-Michaelis. The Eng­lish dis­trib­u­tors were able to fol­low all the train­ing thanks to pro­fes­sion­al simul­ta­ne­ous translation.

Sole share­hold­er and CEO Roland Förster pre­sent­ed the eager­ly await­ed new Spring Brochure and delight­ed par­tic­i­pants with news about ENERGETIX.
Josette Desas­sis intro­duced var­i­ous train­ing mod­ules and con­clud­ed the the­mat­ic part of the week­end with an address on team build­ing, team analy­sis and devel­op­ment control.

Josette Desas­sis par­tic­u­lar­ly thanked Anke Hesse-Michaelis, who act­ed as a trans­la­tor for Eng­lish, French and Ger­man and ensured a relaxed atmos­phere by per­form­ing the song „Sim­ply the Best“ with the dis­trib­u­tors. For the STARCLUB mem­bers, who had pre­vi­ous­ly been award­ed cer­tifi­cates, the evening end­ed in good spir­its in a fash­ion­able restaurant.

The 2013 start-of-year event in Toulouse shows that the con­cept of inten­sive moti­va­tion and train­ing prac­tised by Josette Desas­sis, with dis­trib­u­tor com­pe­ti­tion, is very effec­tive. The time invest­ed is reward­ed by a boost in every­one’s moti­va­tion and above-aver­age sales increases!

ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors col­lect­ed 1,300 euros for the Hugo Tem­pel­man Foun­da­tion at the 2013 Start-of-Year-Event in Will­in­gen. An impres­sive sum, which ENERGETIX sole share­hold­er and CEO Roland Förster imme­di­ate­ly round­ed up to 2,000 euros.

The com­pa­ny and its dis­trib­u­tors have already been active­ly involved in sup­port­ing the Hugo Tem­pel­man Foun­da­tion for a num­ber of years. The Foun­da­tion estab­lished by Dutch doc­tor hus­band and wife team Hugo and Lies­je Tem­pel­man is engaged in a prece­dent-set­ting project to com­bat AIDS and improve liv­ing con­di­tions in South Africa. Its cura­tors include singer, author and painter Her­man van Veen, Heinz Rudolf Kun­ze and Dr. Antje Vollmer.

Among the Foun­da­tion’s tasks there are both med­ical projects (such as HIV ther­a­py and tuber­cu­lo­sis pro­grammes) and infra­struc­ture projects – includ­ing orphan care, a post office and a com­put­er school.

More and more peo­ple use Valen­tine’s Day to give plea­sure to some­one they love. Clas­si­cal­ly, for exam­ple, with a Valen­tine card — or with a bou­quet of flow­ers, a box of choco­lates, per­fume or of course with a beau­ti­ful piece of jew­ellery that comes from the heart. 

The news is sure to please many ENERGETIX Bin­gen dis­trib­u­tors: the A250 Sport mod­el of the new Mer­cedes Benz A‑Class is now avail­able under the ENERGETIXDRIVE programme. 

The four-cylin­der car with sports sus­pen­sion makes an impres­sive visu­al impact with its strik­ing dia­mond radi­a­tor grille, 5‑spoke alloy wheels and red trim strips on the front and rear apron. Typ­i­cal fea­tures inside are the sport seats with red con­trast stitch­ing and red safe­ty belts.

The spe­cial mod­el A250 Sport

This year, ENERGETIX pub­lished its Spring Brochure in Jan­u­ary! The first excit­ed­ly await­ed copies were hand­ed out at ENER­GETIX’s start-of-year event for the year in Will­in­gen. And now the time has come: jew­ellery from the hot-off-the-press spring brochure is now avail­able to order!

The prod­uct high­lights pre­sent­ed in the 48-page brochure include the Mag­netTime ladies‘ wrist­watch and Fun­ny Monsters.

Mag­netTime

With Mag­netTime, ENERGETIX Bin­gen has launched a slen­der watch ele­ment with inte­grat­ed mag­nets that may be com­bined as the mood takes you with the bracelets in the Clas­sic range (1859, 2259, 2175 and 1531).

Fun­ny Monsters

That mon­sters can also be amus­ing, cute and friend­ly is demon­strat­ed by the new Fun­ny Mon­sters: Squil­ly, Spiky and Spooky for adorn­ing chil­dren’s slid­ers and pen­dants will not only make chil­dren smile.

Neu: Fun­ny Monsters

In 2013 it’s once again „on with the run­ning shoes and out onto the track“ for ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors and staff. Every kilo­me­ter counts! 

Staff and dis­trib­u­tors form a team

As in 2012, an ENERGETIX team will again be tak­ing part in this year’s Guten­berg Marathon in Mainz — to run the half-marathon dis­tance. Last year an ENERGETIX group of over 50 run­ners took part. In their red sports shirts, the run­ners struck a colour­ful note among the sev­er­al thou­sand par­tic­i­pants from all over the world. ENERGETIX is hop­ing that a large num­ber of its „red frogs“ will again take part in the 2013 race. 

Deter­mined and enjoy­ing them­selves: ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors are run­ning for a wor­thy cause

All inclu­sive

Elec­trolyte drinks, mas­sages and cheers of encour­age­ment along the 21.0975 km dis­tance. As was the case last year, a high­ly moti­vat­ed ENERGETIX sup­port team will pro­vide com­pre­hen­sive assis­tance in 2013. To strength­en the team spir­it, each run­ner will be giv­en an attrac­tive sports shirt! 

When long-dis­tance run­ning meets social commitment 

Sports-mind­ed dis­trib­u­tors and staff from the Bin­gen head­quar­ters will be run­ning togeth­er in Mainz to sup­port a wor­thy cause. For every kilo­me­ter run, ENERGETIX Bin­gen will donate two euros towards a char­i­ty project. 

The reg­is­tra­tion count­down has begun 

The marathon will take place in Mainz on Sun­day 12 May 2013. Whether inter­est­ed in run­ning the 42.195 km or the half marathon dis­tance, all ENERGETIX Bin­gen dis­trib­u­tors are invit­ed to join the team on 12 May. ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors and staff can reg­is­ter at running@energetix.tv up to 15 Feb­ru­ary 2013. 

Good to know: Please remit the entry fee of 40 euros per run­ner in advance (you will find the bank details in the Quick­News item about the half marathon – it was sent to ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors in January). 

All ENERGETIX par­tic­i­pants will have the fee reim­bursed by ENERGETIX. If you have reg­is­tered but are unable to take part on 12 May, the mon­ey you have paid will be added to the dona­tion amount. 

Train­ing on a tread­mill, a for­est path or a cin­der track, on your own or in a group – there are many ways to build up your run­ning capac­i­ty and be in top form for the long-dis­tance run on 12 May. In addi­tion to the char­i­ty aspect and the unique team expe­ri­ence, there is at least one oth­er rea­son for par­tic­i­pat­ing. After all, „more exercise/sport“ is one of the top 10 good inten­tions of most ama­teur sports­men and women.
