Super Bowl Advertising ROI Calculator

January 31, 2012 By: admin Category: Professional Services

Super Bowl Advertising ROI Calculator










Manasquan, NJ (PRWEB) January 30, 2012

Lenskold Group announced today the release of their Super Bowl Advertising ROI tool. This free tool available online at http://www.lenskold.com/SuperBowlROI allows advertisers to run basic scenarios that show projected sales and revenue relative to return on investment (ROI) objectives. The intent is to assess the potential incremental ROI of Super Bowl ads and provide a perspective on the approximate impact levels needed to achieve financial objectives.

The NFL Super Bowl season means the annual unveiling of the clever and oft times humorous Super Bowl ads. In many ways, this unique advertising opportunity has matched the popularity of viewing the big game itself. For this year’s big game, advertisers are shelling out an astounding $ 3.5 million dollars on average for a 30 second spot.

Aside from the opportunity of reaching an audience of over 100 million viewers, they can expect their TV spots to be watched, re-watched, critiqued and ranked by any number of media and marketing groups as well as the viewers themselves. Marketers measure the brand awareness or the buzz factor, at best, in an attempt to justify the expense. But have you ever wondered, for all of the spending and analysis, can advertisers generate enough incremental sales and profits to cover the costs in the long run?

“Even with a basic ROI planning tool such as this,” said company President Jim Lenskold, “marketers can evaluate how their intended impact on potential buyers translates from awareness into incremental sales, revenue and profits. Super Bowl advertising can be highly effective for many companies while missing the mark for others. Running ROI scenarios for any marketing spend provides insight to guide strategic and tactical decisions toward better outcomes.”

The Super tool is available for free on the Lenskold Group website at http://www.lenskold.com/SuperbowlROI.

Creighton Graduate Program in Finance Ranked Among Best of its Kind












Omaha, NE (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

In its ranking of the best master’s and MBA programs around the world, Eduniversal has named Creighton University’s Master’s in Security Analysis and Portfolio Management (MSAPM) one of the best finance programs in the world, ranking it at the number 32 position.

Creighton received this honor by scoring well on the three ranking criteria used by Eduniversal: the reputation of the program, salaries of students’ first jobs after graduating, and their overall level of satisfaction.

The Eduniversal ranking further underscores the quality and prestige of Creighton’s programs. The university has been ranked the #1 university in the Midwest by US News & World Report for the past nine years. The magazine also named Creighton the #21 best business school for finance in 2011.

For finance professionals interested in jobs at the highest levels in this competitive field, Creighton’s MSAPM program offers rigorous coursework designed to offer critical, advanced knowledge about investment assessment, security analysis and portfolio management. Creighton is one of only 36 universities in the U.S. that have earned the distinction of being a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) Program Partner1 , and the only CFA Program Partner School in the U.S. to offer its program completely online as well as in-residence on campus.

The curriculum of the MSAPM reflects topics covering all three levels of the CFA® exam, offering students the unique opportunity to work towards a prestigious master’s degree while simultaneously preparing for the CFA® exams. Whether or not students decide to pursue this designation, they will receive a high-quality, practitioner-oriented master’s education in finance that provides the extensive knowledge required of savvy investment professionals.

“The global nature of the Eduniversal ranking makes it especially meaningful,” said Randy D. Jorgensen, director of the MSAPM program. “Besides highlighting the value of the MSAPM, it helps publicize the program to finance professionals around the world who are interested in earning a degree that can help them get to the top of their field.”

OneHourPayday.com Re-launches with New Look and Functionality

January 02, 2012 By: admin Category: Professional Services

OneHourPayday.com Re-launches with New Look and Functionality











One Hour Payday


Costa Mesa, CA (PRWEB) January 01, 2012

One Hour Payday announces the re-launch of its consumer lending site, OneHourPayday.com, which features an updated graphical-user interface and improved online loan application. As costs for everything from gasoline to groceries to entertainment continue to outpace salaries, working families can obtain the cash they need through the re-branded website’s extensive network of reputable lenders.

“OneHourPayday.com makes it easy for people of all backgrounds to access loans of $ 100 – $ 1,500 in just minutes,” commented company spokesperson Van Strickland. “We streamlined the site and made the online application easier and more accessible from mobile devices, as well as any computer.”

One Hour Payday is not your typical payday lending website. It’s a one-stop resource for one hour payday loans and up-to-date information about the payday lending industry. When customers visit the site, they find an easy-to-complete one-page loan application that allows for instant approval. Once a loan is signed for through the lender’s e-signature page, customers receive their cash within 24 hours.

One Hour Payday doesn’t provide payday lending services directly to consumers, nor does it charge a fee to access its network of lenders. There is never any obligation to accept any loan offered, and prospective borrowers are free to end the application process at any time. The improved site exists solely to facilitate a connection between cash-strapped consumers and lenders who are willing to provide unsecured loans with a short repayment schedule. There’s no credit check required, and lenders in the company’s network often compete for customers’ attention by offering the most attractive rates available.

The application and approval process is easy and requires just five minutes for most people to complete. There’s no faxing, no credit check and no heavy paperwork, which is especially appealing to busy professionals and families on the go.

One Hour Payday uses the most aggressive, up-to-date encryption technology available to safeguard borrowers’ personal information. Consumers have total access to the One Hour Payday network of trusted lenders and can begin comparison-shopping for the best loan within minutes of submitting their online application. There’s no fee to submit an application or search for lenders, and the One Hour Payday website is available 24 hours a day.

Consumers can use the new site to obtain fast cash for emergency home or car repairs, overdue bills/payments, or any of the myriad pressing expenses that keep an ordinary household afloat. All of this can be done without leaving the comfort and security of home or office.

Alexander & Strunk and Beale Professional Services Join Forces October 1st.











Alexander & Strunk, Inc.


Oklahoma City, OK (PRWEB) September 27, 2011

Alexander & Strunk, an independent insurance agency serving the people of Oklahoma and surrounding states, will partner with Beale Professional Services of Oklahoma City beginning October 1st.

“Our recent partnership with Beale Professional Services will improve our strength and knowledge as a niche insurance agency working with professional associations,” said Joe Strunk, President of Alexander & Strunk. “Marketing to multiple professional associations will attract more insurance markets and better insurance products for all our current and future customers. Our focus and commitment is providing insurance solutions to small business professionals.”    

Beale Professional Services President Jennifer Beale is eager to join forces with Alexander & Strunk in a new location. “For years, we have worked together on several association insurance products. The two agencies have been doing many of the same things, but separately. Now we get to do these things together.”

Beale went on to say “It will be exciting to see how we can take each agency’s best practices to grow our knowledge of the industry, streamline administration and compliance issues and enhance our customer service capabilities.”

Guy Strunk, Vice President of Alexander & Strunk, notes that opportunities to merge with other professional association insurance agencies are becoming fewer. “We are fortunate to partner with Beale Professional Services,” he said. “Through quality leadership and steadfast determination, I believe today’s challenges will become tomorrow’s victories.”

Alexander & Strunk was founded in 1972 in City of the Village with the focus on one simple philosophy: “To advise you on insurance, not just sell it.” The agency provides personal and commercial insurance, including association plans through the Oklahoma Dental Association and the Oklahoma Association of Optometric Physicians. Beale has been providing professional association insurance since 1955 including plans for members of the Oklahoma Bar Association and Oklahoma Society of CPAs as well as personal and business insurance.

Each agency will retain its own name, brand, functions and employees. Both businesses will relocate to a single new office in the Quail Springs area at 3000 NW 149th in Oklahoma City. Visit our websites – http://www.strunkinsurance.com and http://www.bealepro.com – for more information.

Flux and File Transfer Consulting Forge Professional Services Partnership

August 10, 2011 By: admin Category: Professional Services

Flux and File Transfer Consulting Forge Professional Services Partnership












Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) July 19, 2011

A professional services alliance between Flux, a proven leader in the workload automation space, and File Transfer Consulting, the only North American consulting firm providing end-to-end solutions to managed file transfer challenges, has been forged to offer practical services that speed deployment, reduce risk, and improve integration across the enterprise.

While the Flux professional services team has focused on enterprise job scheduling, automated dataflows, and ETL automation, managed file transfer has also been an integral part of the software and many Flux deployments worldwide. Flux excels in putting a management layer on file transfer to orchestrate workflows in a visible and secure manner.

File Transfer Consulting President, Jonathan Lampe, is a file transfer industry pioneer and security expert who has led packaged software development and complex project solutions in the managed file transfer industry for more than ten years. Along with his professional services team, Lampe brings new insight and expertise to future engagements.

Although File Transfer Consulting works with several software vendors, Flux offers a singular and simple approach that appeals to Lampe. “Flux is really a unique workload automation vendor working in the managed file transfer space,” said Lampe. “They have an extremely broad and powerful set of SOA interfaces on their orchestration software, but they also have an excellent workflow visualization in their web-based designer. From a business perspective, this is a rare one-two ROI punch: enterprises cannot often leverage both their SOA infrastructure and lower-cost business analysts by investing in a single family of software, but they can with Flux.”

“Professional services engagements are particularly valuable when IT staff has turned over and operators and administrators have changed, when you are faced with a fragile configuration, or an instance where troubleshooting a stalled deployment is required,” states Sims.

Both companies share industry sector strengths including banking, healthcare, energy, supply chain management, and government. The companies’ “Best Practices Training” and “Health Checks” go beyond technology and into service delivery with this powerful collaboration. The combined professional services can address gaps in software, training, custom development, personnel, operations, or integration. Integration solutions tackle critical components of enterprise architecture and connect technology such as workflow and reporting engines, BPM, enterprise job scheduling, and cloud services.

For more information on the professional services alliance, contact Flux or File Transfer Consulting.

About Flux

Flux is a software company dedicated to advancing workload automation and managed file transfer by delivering performance, reliability, ease-of-use, and unyielding accessible customer support. First released in 2000, Flux has grown into a vital part of IT operations around the world with hundreds of customers in 35 countries.

Intuitive modern interfaces bring it all together in a single browser window.

Privately held, offices are located in Las Vegas, Buenos Aires, and Montana, all of which provide effective technical support and sales services to Flux’s global customer base.

About File Transfer Consulting

File Transfer Consulting strives to help organizations make sense of their file transmission issues through strategic analysis, training, integration, and custom interfaces. Their unique approach to file transfer allows them to address issues that software alone cannot address.

Their security certified staff has led efforts that met or exceeded PCI, FISMA, HIPAA, SOX, ITAR, FIPS, and industry-specific requirements.

Saris Technologies Launches Eppraisal Professional at Nardi Gras Realtors

June 07, 2011 By: admin Category: Professional Services

Saris Technologies Launches Eppraisal Professional at Nardi Gras Realtors® Conference in New Orleans











Orlando, FL (PRWEB) November 8, 2006 –-

Saris Technologies, a developer of Web 2.0 applications that connects consumers and professionals, today announced the beta launch of Eppraisal Professional, a subscription-based service that enables real estate professionals to connect with consumers. Eppraisal Professional is an extension of eppraisal.com, which launched its home valuation service on November 1st. What makes eppraisal.com different is that it goes the extra step of linking consumers with a local real estate professional who can help them through the entire process.

Now, with Eppraisal Professional real estate brokers, agents, appraisers, and mortgage brokers, can leverage the same property estimation engine on their own website to assist with lead generation and provide consumers with a dynamic value-added resource. Demonstrations of Eppraisal Professional can be seen at booth #2058 during the NARdi Gras, Realtor Conference and Expo in New Orleans November 10 – 13th. Real estate professionals who sign up for the service will be able to take immediate advantage of a 90-day free trial of Eppraisal Professional.

“The shortfall of other online real estate sites is that they try to eliminate the professionals from the process,” said Damian Scott, President of Saris Technologies. “At Saris we built eppraisal.com because we saw the missing link in the online experience. We understand that current online valuation models are just an initial step, and the second step is to find the right local professional (inspectors, appraisers, agents, etc) and incorporate them into the process. With Eppraisal Professional we can build relationships between professionals and consumers in a way that provides value for both parties.”

Eppraisal Professional is a subscription service that provides real estate professionals with access to consumers, in the local area, that are interested in extending their search for the right property. In addition, real estate professionals can also sign up to provide automated valuations on their own websites in order to give their customers an extra resource directly from their homepage. The service enables any real estate professional to:

Gain Access to eppraisal.com Consumers – eppraisal.com connects consumers with experts. Leverage Eppraisal Professional to connect with consumers that are valuing properties within the local area.

Increase Website Content and Resources – by embedding eppraisal.com’s property estimation engine into a real estate website, professionals are able to deliver a value-added resource for consumers as they begin to make the critical decision of buying, selling, or refinancing a property.

Capture Leads – real estate professionals will be given the code to create a page on their website where visitors can receive map-based property valuations, demographic information and a detailed eppraisal of their home without ever leaving the website. When consumers register there, the real estate professional will be able to contact them to follow up on any real estate needs they might have.

For a demonstration and 90-day free trial of Eppraisal Professional visit booth #2058 at NAR, November 10 – 13. To become an Eppraisal Professional member or gain more information visit http://pro.eppraisal.com.

About Saris Technologies

Saris Technologies, is a developer of Web 2.0 solutions that connect consumers with professionals. eppraisal.com is a free service that allows anyone to easily and quickly take the first step to buying, selling or refinancing a home by providing instant access to property valuations for any house or neighborhood in the U.S. Leveraging the eppraisal.com Estimate Algorithm (EEA), eppraisal.com gathers critical housing and real estate information and through a complex algorithm provides members with a property valuation range for the areas they select. eppraisal.com also connects members to the appraisers, real estate agents/brokers and mortgage brokers that will help them take action on their decisions.
