Consumers Credit Union Celebrates International Credit Union Day
October 15th, 2009Consumers Credit Union Celebrates International Credit Union Day
Waukegan, IL (Vocus) October 6, 2009
Thursday, October 15, 2009, is International Credit Union Day … a time to reflect on why the movement was founded and how the general public benefits. In that spirit, Consumers Credit Union (CCU; 0 M. Waukegan, IL) invites everyone – Members and non-members alike – to help celebrate this special occasion. Credit Union management and Board Members of the Member-owned credit union will greet guests at all six (6) CCU locations.
The credit union movement was founded on the principles of providing important benefits and assistance to Members. The movement began in Germany in the 1800s and quickly spread to North America – first to Canada, then the USA. The first US credit union was in Manchester, New Hampshire. Today credit union Membership has grown to approximately 90 million people in the USA alone.
A need gradually emerged to establish an annual occasion to celebrate the positive impact credit unions make on the lives of Members. By 1948, America’s credit union leaders felt strongly enough about this notion to set aside a day to bring Members together. As a result, two national organizations – Credit Union National Association and CUNA Mutual Insurance Society – set the third Thursday of October to commemorate the cooperative history of credit unions and the many benefits available for Members.
“International Credit Union Day provides a great opportunity to thank Members for their business, share a little credit union history and discuss the value credit unions have to offer,” noted Sean M. Rathjen, CCU President. “Consumers Credit Union is proud to join this annual celebration and invite you to stop by, meet our management team, grab a free gift and enjoy some treats. We’ll be happy to explain why we proclaim, ‘We’re a credit union, not a bank. Ask us the difference!’”
CCU celebrates the occasion from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm at its six branches. For more information about Credit Union Day, please contact Sean M. Rathjen, CCU President, at 847.782.4670. Consumers Credit Union is Member-owned, with offices in Waukegan, Mundelein, Round Lake Beach, Gurnee, North Waukegan, Volo and online at http://www.myconsumers.org.

Video SEO Can Save the Newspaper Industry, Says New Study
February 16th, 2009
Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) February 17, 2009
Online video marketing information and solutions provider ReelSEO has released a first-of-its-kind, in-depth report on the opportunity for U.S. newspaper companies to grow their audience and advertising base using video search optimization (Video SEO, or “vSEO”). Written by Senior Analyst Grant Crowell, “Business Models for New Realities: The Newspapers Industry’s Video SEO Opportunity” is the culmination of more than 2 years of industry research, along with numerous interviews with editors and publishers of newspaper companies nationwide.
Newspapers are struggling with harsh economic realities and are seeking creative new revenue sources, while transitioning their traditional print-centric business model to the where their audience has migrated — the Internet. To help newspapers address this new reality, this report features:
A discussion of the opportunities and challenges newspapers face, and how Video SEO can improve their situations
A “best practices” checklist for what newspapers should look for in a Video SEO provider – be it an analyst, publishing platform, or analytics package.
Reviews with leading analysts and online video solutions providers
“There’s been a great deal of discussion about the problems newspapers are having, but no real solutions proposed. We’ve found a solution for the oldest of the ‘Old Media’ (newspapers), and that’s the newest of the ‘New Media’ (video).” states Crowell. “While newspapers are already producing large amounts of online video content, they have not been successful at optimizing the video for both traffic and monetization.”
“As newspapers face increased competition in the online local media market, they are going to have to invest in video to meet consumer demand,” states Tom Wilde, CEO for EveryZing, the sponsor of the report. “Video presents a great opportunity for publishers to leverage their audience development experience to maintain their market leadership positions. Grant Crowell’s decade of experience in the space makes him the perfect source for best practices around this exciting new business opportunity for newspaper publishers.”
“As competition grows to capture the attention of online video viewers, newspapers posses a unique opportunity to leverage their skills and superior content to capitalize on the financial promise of online video monetization.” Says Mark Robertson, Founder and Publisher of ReelSEO and Director of Search for Freedom Communications. “In order to fully take advantage of the incredible opportunity that exists, it is critical that newspapers utilize best practices for publishing video content in a way that makes it easy for users to discover. ReelSEO is proud to offer this one-of-a-kind whitepaper that details the opportunity that exists for newspapers with online video and video search engine optimization.”
Leading analysts are already regarding the white paper as a breakthrough for newspapers and other traditional print outlets seeking creative new revenue sources, including Greg Jarboe, President and co-founder of SEO-PR, and former newspaper staffer. Jarboe states, “If you do a SWOT analysis of newspapers, their strengths are in print, their weaknesses are online, but their opportunities are in online video, and their threats are legion. That’s why newspaper executives should read this report today, not tomorrow.”
“Business Models for New Realities: The Newspapers Industry’s Video SEO Opportunity” is available for immediate download at the Web sites of both of the white papers’ sponsors: ReelSEO and EveryZing
