LONDON, Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — NR1 Webshops has been recognised as one of the “20 Most Innovative Companies to Watch, 2024” by Business Worldwide Magazine. This prestigious list celebrates companies that are reshaping industries through innovation and forward-thinking strategies. From e-Commerce to renewable energy, these organisations are setting benchmarks for excellence and sustainable growth.

The recognition highlights NR1’s transformative approach to e-Commerce through its groundbreaking e-Franchise model, which combines cutting-edge technology, collaborative practices, and comprehensive support to empower entrepreneurs.

Revolutionising e-commerce: the e-franchise model

NR1 Webshops has redefined e-Commerce by introducing the world’s first e-Franchise model. This pioneering approach provides entrepreneurs with everything they need to launch and grow an online store, from a fully equipped Magento 2 webshop and integrated Odoo ERP system to fulfilment and back-office support.

The e-Franchise model isn’t just a business-in-a-box. It’s a collaborative ecosystem that allows franchisees to share resources, expertise, and purchasing power, reducing operational costs by up to 70%. This approach shifts the focus from competition to cooperation, enabling franchisees to achieve success together.

“This model is about more than just selling products online,” explains an NR1 Webshops spokesperson. “It’s about building a community of entrepreneurs who support and elevate each other.”

Collaboration over competition

At the heart of NR1’s success is its emphasis on collaboration. Franchisees are encouraged to pool resources for marketing, logistics, and even product listings, creating a collective advantage. This innovative approach fosters a sense of community rarely seen in e-Commerce, transforming what could be a cut-throat environment into one of mutual growth.

Franchisees also benefit from exclusive rights to their chosen niche, eliminating internal competition within the NR1 network. This exclusivity allows them to focus on building their expertise and catering directly to their target customers.

Empowering entrepreneurs with technology

NR1 Webshops leverages the power of Magento 2, one of the most robust e-Commerce platforms, and integrates it seamlessly with Odoo ERP for streamlined operations. These tools automate essential processes like order management and inventory tracking, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on growing their businesses without getting bogged down by administrative tasks.

Additionally, NR1’s comprehensive fulfilment and dropshipping solutions eliminate logistical headaches. By handling warehousing, shipping, and customer service, NR1 ensures franchisees can scale their operations quickly and efficiently.

NR1 also provides franchisees with extensive back-office support from its team in Asia. This team handles over 80% of routine daily tasks, such as data entry, customer service, and operational coordination, leading to cost savings of up to 70%. By offloading these time-intensive activities, NR1 enables franchisees to focus on strategy, growth, and customer engagement—making it one of the most efficient solutions in e-Commerce to start an online business.

A proven track record, a sustainable future

The success of NR1 Webshops is built on a solid foundation, beginning with its flagship store, www.nr1motor.nl, a market leader in motorcycle parts. This initial success paved the way for the e-Franchise model, which now supports entrepreneurs across diverse industries in building profitable online stores.

NR1’s franchisees are guided every step of the way, from training workshops to ongoing back-office support. This approach makes entrepreneurship accessible even to those with little prior experience, empowering individuals to turn their ambitions into reality. The company is committed to long-term growth, not just for the company but for its franchisees. The e-Franchise model is designed with scalability in mind, enabling entrepreneurs to expand without significant investment in additional resources. NR1 is also exploring sustainable practices to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly logistics and operations.

NR1 Webshops is on a mission to transform the e-Commerce landscape. By fostering collaboration, driving innovation, and prioritising sustainability, the company is creating a brighter future for online entrepreneurs.

America’s Largest Political Group Is Getting Its Own Election Night

By

A record 45% of Americans identify with neither party. On November 3, they get the first nationally televised Election Night built around the independent voter bloc, presented by United Independents, the organization behind the Independent National Convention, in partnership with DeFiance Media.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Can the country’s largest bloc of voters turn identity into representation? Independents now make up 45% of U.S. adults, a record high in Gallup’s 2025 data, yet partisan coverage continues to dominate mainstream mediums. On November 3, one broadcast will cover the election from the Independent point of view.

Broadcast live from the National Press Club’s television studio in Washington, D.C. Election Night 2026: Independent Edition is an eight-hour program hosted by Christopher Life, founder and CEO of United Independents, and Macy Gunnell, NewsForce’s White House correspondent. DeFiance Media will be producing and streaming the broadcast.

Built on live election data from The Associated Press (AP), the program will call the national races as the returns come in. Then it goes where other broadcasts don’t: race-by-race coverage of independent candidates in consequential congressional contests, and guest conversations with the strategists and organizers behind them.

Built for the Voters Both Parties Are Chasing

Two generations of Americans have come of age as independent voters, and in 74 years of nationally televised Election Night broadcasts, not one has been built around them. This one is: national results and the balance of power, dedicated coverage of the independent candidates who could tip the next Congress, and a live chat with selected viewer questions put to the hosts and guests on air.

Open to Every Newsroom

Television pool feed. U.S. television outlets, including local stations, can carry the program live, in full or in part, separate from DeFiance Media’s full-program streaming.Social streaming. The broadcast streams through participating social media partners. Channels that want to carry it can sign up at Election2026.live.Live clips and excerpts. Newsrooms, commentators, and creators can pull portions of the program for reporting and social distribution while the broadcast is underway.

Request access through the Media & Distribution Access Form at Election2026.live.

Free and Accessible Nationwide

Going live Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026, from 6 PM- 2 AM ET. Updates, guest announcements, and viewing instructions: Election2026.live.

SOUTH SALEM, N.Y., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Pianist, entrepreneur and social media creator Michael Weinstein has been recognized at the 2026 Vega Digital Awards in the Social Media Collaboration category for his music collaboration series, Piano Sessions: Bringing Voices Together Through Music.

Weinstein has built a social media audience of more than a million followers across TikTok, Instagram and other platforms by sharing piano performances and collaborations with singers from around the world. His videos feature vocalists performing alongside his piano accompaniment, creating intimate musical performances that showcase each artist’s individual talent and style.

While Weinstein has spent much of his professional career building businesses and marketing consumer brands, music has always remained one of his greatest passions.

“Music has always been a huge part of my life and one of the things I enjoy most is collaborating with other musicians,” said Weinstein. “I’ve had the opportunity to work with so many incredibly talented singers and I love being able to play alongside them and create something special together. It’s also rewarding to introduce these artists to new audiences while building relationships and friendships that have become just as meaningful as the music itself.”

An accomplished pianist and keyboardist, Weinstein has collaborated with an impressive range of vocalists, including artists who have performed and recorded with Maroon 5, Sting, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Usher, Lauryn Hill and Jill Scott. He has also collaborated with standout performers from American Idol, America’s Got Talent and The Voice.

Weinstein is also planning a live concert in New York City in 2027, bringing together several of the talented vocalists featured on his social media channels for a special collaborative performance. Additional details will be announced in the coming months.

Outside of music, Weinstein is the Founder and CEO of JAM Direct, a marketing and advertising agency, and former Chief Marketing Officer of Allstar Products Group, where he was responsible for marketing some of the most successful products in “As Seen On TV” history, including the Snuggie, ShamWow and Shake Weight.
