TROY, Mich., April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- National TV Turnoff Week is around the corner and 81 percent of people support the concept of finding healthy, alternative activities to television, according to a March 2004 Entertainment Publications (www.entertainment.com ) survey of more than 400 adults. The holiday week, which runs from April 19-25, aims to celebrate all that life has to offer beyond TV (www.tvturnoff.org ).

However, in spite of the overwhelming support of National TV Turnoff Week, only a quarter of those surveyed said that is was "very likely" that they would actually watch less television during that timeframe.

Why not? It seems to be a matter of economics.

Nearly all of those surveyed (95%) said that they would really like to participate in more "non-TV" activities like dining out, attending cultural and sporting activities and going to the movies. And 76% say they would during National TV Turnoff Week, if these activities were more affordable.

"We know that the TV is on for an average of 7 hours and 40 minutes daily in the average U.S. home(1), so clearly people are using it as a major source of entertainment," said Karen Ruedisueli, Entertainment's director of marketing research. "But even though TV is inexpensive and readily accessible, our survey shows that most recognize that it would really be healthier and more enjoyable to get out more and have some 'screen-free' fun."

Entertainment Publications suggests planning affordable activities with the 2004 Entertainment(R) book (available at www.entertainment.com .) With more than 160 editions throughout North America, the popular coupon book offers people up to 50% off on everything from restaurants, movies and museums to amusement parks, resorts and national attractions. Entertainment members also have access to savings of up to 70% off at more than 9,000 hotel properties worldwide and enjoy significant savings at trusted national brands like United Airlines, Planet Hollywood, Hertz, and McDonald's(R).

And the company is now offering the 2004 Entertainment(R) book -- originally priced between $20 and $45 -- at a significant discount as well. While supplies last, every edition is available for just $10* at www.entertainment.com .

"The mall is the most popular place to shop. It offers an experience during the holidays that is unique for shoppers," said John Bucksbaum, chief executive officer of General Growth Properties. "At our more than 200 GGP centers across the country, we provide special services and amenities that make holiday shopping fun and enjoyable for the entire family."

Even those who stated the mall is just one of many venues they visit to complete their holiday shopping, more than half - 54 percent - revealed that one to three-quarters of those gifts purchased will come from the mall.

And, with the busy shopping season getting underway, consumer spending is anticipated to be up nearly $250 per person compared to last year. On average, consumers expect to spend $879 on holiday gifts this year, compared to approximately $632 in 2005. Shoppers also are watching their credit card debt. Sixty percent say they will use cash, debit card or check to pay for their holiday purchases.

Overall, consumers are once again in the gift-giving mood this holiday season. Key findings include:

-- More than half of respondents - 56 percent - will start their holiday shopping before Thanksgiving.

-- Procrastinators are the exception. Only six percent will dash out to purchase last-minute holiday gifts.

-- On average, respondents revealed they shop for 11 people.

-- Children are the most popular when it comes to holiday gift buying, with 51 percent saying their child is their favorite person to shop for. Fifty-three percent will spend the most money on their kids.

-- People prefer purchasing their own gifts, with 55 percent wanting cash or a mall/store gift card as a holiday present.

-- The family pet is rarely forgotten. More than 80 percent of pet owners reveal they will spend $10 to $25 on their beloved animal(s).

-- The gift-giving spirit is in full bloom. Seventy percent of respondents will donate to a charity during the holiday season.

Systemic Market and Political Risks Are Biggest Concerns for 2014, BNY Mellon Investor Relations Survey Finds: Expanding shareholder bases internationally is a top priority for global companies; Social media used by only 27% of firms to engage investors

Systemic market and political risk, followed by the uncertainty of new financial regulation, are the top issues named by companies as impacting global market confidence, according to the latest annual investor relations (IR) survey conducted by BNY Mellon, a global leader in investment management and investment services. BNY Mellon is committed to helping securities issuers access the world's rapidly evolving financial markets and delivers a comprehensive suite of depositary receipt services.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Systemic market and political risk, followed by the uncertainty of new financial regulation, are the top issues named by companies as impacting global market confidence, according to the latest annual investor relations (IR) survey conducted by BNY Mellon, a global leader in investment management and investment services.

Roughly three-out-of-four of all respondents rated systemic risk, political risk, and levels of government regulation as important issues affecting market confidence. While Eurozone issues are no longer the top concern for companies globally, as last year's survey revealed, they remain the greatest concern for firms based in Western Europe, followed by political risk. Latin American companies, however, point to government regulation as their chief worry.

The importance of expanding shareholder bases internationally remains a key priority for companies globally, with 45% reporting this among their prime goals, up from just 17% in 2010. Western Europe leads this trend with 59% of companies reporting international diversification of investors as their main priority, with emerging Asia and the Middle East close behind (54% and 53%, respectively). Energy companies are the most active in targeting investors outside their home markets (58%) and consumer staples the least (37%).

Developed as a benchmarking tool for BNY Mellon's depositary receipt clients, the survey, Global Trends in Investor Relations, looks at how publicly traded companies are managing their IR practices and the issues affecting them. This year's report is based on survey results from nearly 700 respondents across 63 countries that span the range of market cap and industry sectors, including financials, industrials, consumer, technology and healthcare.

"Global markets are showing resilience, albeit with significant differentiation between regions," said Christopher M. Kearns, CEO of BNY Mellon's Depositary Receipts business. "Looking ahead, investors continue to be wary about the effects of systemic risk, politics and regulation on the world's markets and how they'll perform. In response to these challenges, we're seeing more firms seeking to boost their international shareholders and diversify their investor base. Depositary receipts remain a crucial tool for companies in both traditional and emerging markets to source new pools of capital."

Other key findings of the survey include:

Companies reported a growing proportion of active investors in their shareholder base for the second year running. Thirty-six percent of companies reported a rise in active investors in 2013, compared to 26% in 2012. Roughly half of all Asian and Latin American firms saw a jump in active investors, which may reflect a more selective approach to investing in those regions.

Only 27% of companies overall use social media to engage investors. Western European firms are the most advanced in this area, with 45% using social media. The top social media tools are Twitter/Stocktwits, followed by mobile apps and Facebook. Developed Asia is the most reluctant region, with only 6% of respondents using any form of social media for IR purposes.

Just 23% of companies globally believe the sell-side should be compensated for providing investors with access to senior management. Firms in North America (36%) and Western Europe (29%) were most in favor of compensating the sell-side for corporate access.

Companies are taking a more formal approach to managing potential risk when communicating with the capital markets: Over the last four years, companies with formal crisis communications policies in place has risen from 31% in 2010 to 52% in 2013. In terms of social media, 49% of firms have policies governing internal use of these channels, up from 42% in 2012.

Twenty-four percent of boards of directors have met with investors in the last 12 months. Furthermore, 72% of companies believe there is tangible value in direct board and investor dialogue, as opposed to only 28% believing there should be no interaction.

More investor relations officers (IROs) see a direct link between their performance and pay. Companies are using more qualitative over quantitative metrics to evaluate IR performance, such as informal feedback from the investment community and the quality of information in analyst reports.

"The imperative for companies to maintain an active, engaged investor relations program has never been greater," said Guy Gresham, head of the Global IR Advisory team in BNY Mellon's DR group. "Our IR specialists continue to work closely with clients in all regions to support and maximize their outreach when targeting new investor communities."

This is the ninth annual investor relations survey conducted by BNY Mellon's DR team. The full report is available online at http://www.adrbnymellon.com/IRSurvey.jsp
