My Time Savers Enhancing the Lives of Local and Visiting Professional...

January 17, 2005 -- My Time Savers, Chicago's western suburbs' premiere concierge and errand service, has been chosen to become part of the exclusive Xtreme Professional Athletic Concierge Service (XPACS) network. Every day, athletes are looking for help not in the arena, stadium, or ballpark, but in managing and simplifying their lives. The career demands on a professional athlete have never been greater, and with an average salary of $2M per year for the top 3,500 pro athletes in the United States, the rewards of professional athletics have reached record levels. The number of resources required by these athletes has grown dramatically over the past decade: year-round trainers, nutritionists, and sports psychologists, to name a few. Prior to XPACS's arrival, the availability of resources to assist professional athletes in their personal endeavors had been limited.

   


My Time Savers is a full-service concierge and errand service that will do just about anything busy people don't have time to do. And now, life-enhancing services from My Time Savers and XPACS range from the ordinary to the extraordinary and include assistance with purchasing a car, jewelry, or even a home, assistance with child-care, housekeeping, and event planning, such as a wedding.

   


Christine Bellavia, President and founder of My Time Savers, said "Prior experience, such as working on-site for the Michael Jordan Celebrity Golf Tournaments and doing the annual travel arrangements for the McDonald's All American High School Basketball Games, has given us a rare insight into the needs of the sports professional. We are very excited to be on board with such a great organization. This will be a great complement to our already existing business."

   


Scott Graham, CEO of XPACS developed the concept a few years ago while playing basketball at Fresno State University under legendary coach Jerry Tarkanian. Graham said, "One day, I was hanging out in Fresno with Brian Shaw of the LA Lakers along with one of the assistant coaches. When Brian and I drove off to a local restaurant to eat, his cell phone rang six times in the span of about ten minutes. I jokingly mentioned to him that with that number of phone calls he was receiving, he needed a personal assistant. That was when the light went off in my head. Why not create a concierge service for these professional athletes and their families"

   


During the summer and fall of 2002, the XPACS research and development team conducted close to 100 interviews and information sessions with numerous professional athletes and sports agents. These interviews revealed that the majority of these potential clients use a variety of services, but did not have a "one-stop shop" supplier. With concierge services expected to grow from $650M to over $1.3B in the next five years (National Concierge Association), XPACS is uniquely poised to capture this market demand. After establishing partnerships around the world, XPACS officially launched in June of 2004 as the Premiere International Concierge Service for professional athletes and their families. "I think what differentiates us from the other concierge services is the fact that we are not only in 54 cities nationwide, but we are worldwide," said Katherine Giovanni, President of XPACS.

   


My Time Savers is also a proud Member in Good Standing of the International Concierge and Errand Association (ICEA), the Downers Grove Chamber of Commerce, and the Oak Brook Area Association of Commerce and Industry (OBAACI). My Time Savers is fully bonded and insured.
