How did CampaignHub help Property Tutors get a Full House for their last Event?

Property Tutors engaged CampaignHub to market their recent 4 Hour Event via social networks including Twitter and Facebook.

The aim of the social media marketing campaign was to secure registrations from people who were not currently known by Property Tutors.

CampaignHub utilized Property Tutors own social media profiles to spread the message and host the Event Campaign as well as CampaignHub’s own extensive social media network to reach out to a targeted audience online.

The social media marketing Campaign was a resounding success!

From Steve Starke, General Manager, PropertyTutors Limited:

“For us CampaignHub gave us control of measured first steps into the black tar of the Social Media phenomenon.

The results we have got have been very very encouraging; we have learned a lot and are rapidly lifting our game in terms of messaging, to keep up with the power of this market channel

In short – Highly recommended ”

Card Check — 3 Years Later

by Glenn Spencer
U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Tomorrow marks three years since the Card Check bill was defeated in the U.S. Senate, falling nine votes short of the 60 needed to overcome a filibuster. Though the bill has yet to come up for debate during this Congress, employers would be well advised to remain focused on this lingering threat.

In recent days, Senate HELP Committee Chair Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) has ratcheted up the rhetoric on Card Check, hinting yesterday that the bill could come up in a “lame duck” session of Congress late in 2010. At a United Auto Workers rally days earlier, Sen. Harkin declared:

“Right now, there are a lot of naysayers here in D.C. who a

Spain’s Debt Maturity Wave Hits Next Month And It’s Already Obvious They Don’t Have Enough Cash

Spain faces a confluence of events in July, whereby it will need to finance 21.7 billion euros within a single month. This combines shortfalls in its budget and a wave of scheduled government debt redemptions.

Even if the Spanish government draws down its cash reserves, Goldman Sachs believes it will still be short 12.6 billion euros.

Goldman:

July: the government needs to finance €21.7bn (a €13.5bn cash deficit and a €8.2bn net redemption), of which only €9.1bn can be covered by cash reserves: the rest, €12.6bn, would then represent a potential shortage.

This money will have to be raised through some sort of debt issuance. Here are

Merchants Score Victory In Swipe Fee Battle

The longstanding battle between merchants and the banking industry has netted at least one victory for merchants on Capitol Hill. This week, the House and Senate came to an agreement over the issue of debit card swipe fees and are brining them under the purview of the federal government. What does that mean? We thought you’d never ask.

Interchange Fees

Interchange fees, or swipe fees, are a cut of the transaction that credit card issuers automatically get every time you pay with plastic. This is usually a percentage—so, if you buy a $100 DVD player,  about $98 goes to Best Buy and the remaining $2 gets divvied up between Bank of America, Visa, etc. By law, merchant’s can’t simply tack that amount on as a surcharge, which means that, in essence, credit card users pay less for their goods than those who pay in cash.

No Emergency Fund Needed?

After college, I was waiting tables by night, living the good life of a 20-something in the city by day. Cool roommate, cute dog and a little spending money to boot. Then one day, my dog ran into the street and was hit by a car. She needed a $2,000 surgery ASAP and I had zero savings. I did what most of us would do — I whipped that credit card out so fast I gave myself whiplash. (P.S. The surgery ended up costing a lot more than 2K).

Fast-forward a few weeks. The pup was healing, I was doing a good job forgetting my newfound debt and the car I’d had since high school broke down. The repairs were $1,700. Dude, thank goodness for credit, I thought. Years later, I’m still paying for those two emergencies. Hey — no one knows when crisis will strike and credit cards are great for a little added security. But it’

Oregon Court drops 1,900 employees from lawsuit

Oregon Court of Appeals affirms decertification of class action

Oregon Law Firm

Last week the Oregon Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court’s decision to decertify a class action against US Bank.  In Belknap v. US Bank, the plaintiffs claimed that defendant employer failed to timely pay a portion of their wages.  In 2004, the trial court certified a plaintiffs’ class estimated to include up to 1,900 former employees.  But after two years of discovery and motion practice, the court decertified the class and the case proceeded with just the two named plaintiffs — only one of whom ultimately won his wage claim at trial.
