Marketing Mondays!!

In an attempt to get myself organized and manage my time wisely - an major area I fall short in - I have created a weekly calendar to follow. I have designated and titled them as follows:

Marketing Mondays - work on press releases, column writing, emails;

Routine Tuesdays - pick ups/deliveries, errands;

Weekend Wednesdays - Prep for upcoming weekend training classes/pack/print;

To Do Thursdays - whatever needs done - Do it!!;

Fabulous Friday - find and post deals for Fabulous Finds Friday/FollowFriday Twitter

Training Day Saturdays - Train



So today is Marketing Day. I am working on two press releases for business associates. Then I have to run in to Waring Office Supplies to pick up my printed manuals I forgot to pick up on Friday, which caused me to have to email them in on Saturday morning before my training class to another (more expensive) store. Once I got in to town I called the store to change the quantity only to be informed that the email did not come through. So, with my printer out of ink, I just purchased another cartridge. Once I got home, I realized I had the WRONG cartridge! But Praise God I was able to shake the old cartridge, scrounge up a few older versions of my manual and print up a few more to cover EXACTLY the number of Boot Camp attendees. See why I need to do this stuff on Wednesday? Instead of the day/hours before my trainings?



Well I need to get busy but before I do...here are a few deals for you!

BTW (By the way) the White Castle coupon I posted last week was not valid. I have removed it from my post.

The Cost of Identity Theft

Cutting Corners

The Cost of Identity Theft

Being Safe – Saves!! With reports of burglaries on the rise, it is imperative that as consumers we understand and take measures to protect ourselves from identity theft. Nearly 10 million Americans were identity theft victims last year, costing them a total of approximately $5 billion. The average out-of-pocket cost for identity fraud victims is $422. Holly Cherico of Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. reports that almost half (47 percent) of all identity theft is perpetrated by friends, neighbors, in-home employees, family members or relatives.

How to Protect Yourself

Retrieve paper mail promptly and place outgoing checks or other sensitive documents in a U.S. Postal Service mailbox. The Federal Trade Commission reports almost 400,000 Americans suffered identity theft due to stolen mail.
A key way to detect fraudulent accounts is through credit monitoring/reports. Eleven percent of fraud cases were caught via this means.
Do not release Social Security or account numbers in response to e-mail, phone or in-person requests. When responding to e-mail, do not click on any Internet links provided. Instead type the full address into your internet browser to access the site.
Keep all sensitive documents, checkbooks and credit cards securely locked away at home and at work.
Before discarding, shred all private documents.
Replace paper bills, statements and checks with online (paperless) versions.
Keep passwords hidden (even in your own home) and change them frequently. Create strong passwords. A strong password includes one of each of the following: number, capital letter and special character. For example, P@$sw0rd.
Use and regularly update firewall and anti-virus software on your computer.
Do not respond to suspicious e-mails. Delete them, and if there is any doubt contact the company to determine if the e-mail is real.
Don't discard a computer without completely destroying the data on the hard drive.
Review bank, credit card and biller statements weekly - available through online account access.
Contact your financial provider if you fail to receive statements in a timely manner.
Review your credit information regularly (free annual reports are available at www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228).
Victims of theft: notify your financial providers, begin monitoring your accounts more frequently, and place an "alert" at all three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian or TransUnion). My husband has to update his information every 3 months since his company credit card information was stolen almost 2 years ago. Identity thieves will hold on to your information for years and try again, assuming you have become comfortable.
Alert federal and local law enforcement if you suspect or detect identity fraud.

How Safe Are You? Take an Identity Safety Quiz. The Better Business Bureau has co-released, with Javelin Strategy & Research, an Identity Safety Quiz so consumers can determine, not only, if their typical behavior places them at greater risk of becoming an identity fraud victim, but also, what specific steps they can take to reduce that risk and increase their safety. The quiz can be accessed at www.idsafety.net.

SAVE OUR LIBRARIES!!

Just received the following email from the director of the Wilmington Public Library. Please read & respond!!!Dear Friends,Last Friday afternoon, Governor Strickland held a press conference during which he presented a plan to balance Ohio's budget. One part of the plan is to use 50% of the Public Library Fund. If that were to happen, it would devastate all 251 of Ohio's public libraries. Many library buildings would have to close, staff layoffs would occur, there would be no funds for new books and other materials, and programs such as story times would be reduced or discontinued.Ohio's citizens are using public libraries more now than ever before. Those people who are unemployed use our Internet computers to apply for unemployment, conduct job searches, and retrain for alternate careers. Other people effected by the economic downturn can no longer afford to purchase books and movies and are rediscovering the library. These are only a few of the reasons people are using the public library in ever increasing numbers. This is not the time to reduce library funding.Please take a few minutes to review the information at www.saveohiolibraries.com and contact your legislators to ask that they oppose the governor's proposal. The attached document contains contact information for Clinton County's legislators, but Senator John Carey is Chair of the Senate Finance Committee. It wouldn't hurt for everyone to contact him.Also, please forward this message to your mailing lists. We have only a few days to express to our legislators the importance of our libraries. Ohio law requires a state budget be passed by June 30.Thank you for your support!Nancy-- Nancy P. EhasDirectorWilmington Public Library268 N. South St.Wilmington, OH 45177(937) 382-2417 x11

Governor Ted Strickland

614-466-3555www.governor.ohio.gov

Senator John Carey 614-466-8156SD17@senate.state.oh.usRepresentative David Daniels614-466-3506district86@ohr.state.oh.usSample Email - Copy & Paste if needed!I am contacting you today to express my concern over the proposed cut to the Public Library Fund (PLF). Approximately 70% of our state’s libraries are funded solely through the PLF. Cutting this fund will result in closures, layoffs, and reduced hours in libraries throughout Ohio.These proposed funding cuts come at a time when Ohio’s public libraries are experiencing unprecedented increases in demands for services. Ohioans value their libraries to assist in educating their children, providing high speed Internet access, job searching and employment research, as well as information and entertainment. That cuts would be made to the PLF at this time effects those who need the library most during these rough economic times: the unemployed, who use library resources for job seeking, and children, whose education should always be our first priority. However, it is unlikely that many of Ohio’s public libraries can remain open with these proposed cuts.Please do as much as you can to help reject the Governor’s proposed cut on the PLF and Save Ohio’s libraries. Sincerely,

Kellogg's Cares!

How Going Green Will Save You Green!!

How going green will save you green

http://wnewsj.com/main.asp?SectionID=49&SubSectionID=156&ArticleID=177673

Recently, a news story struck a cord with me in a major way. ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson reported that in an effort to be green, major cities like Washington D.C. and New York City have invoked a plastic bag tax on grocery shoppers. Washington D. C.’s bag tax is $.05 per bag. Just imagine! My weekly trips to the store warrant at least 12-20 bags. If Wilmington passed such a tax, my annual shopping budget would need to be expanded to $1,040 just to cover the cost of transporting my purchases home! Most reusable bags cost $.99. I will gladly spend $20 to save $1,000.

Now consider the costs of the following “green” tips, and add up your annual savings!

Bottled Water: The average household purchases 167 bottles of water per year at $1.25 per bottle: totaling over $200 annually. Why not consider a water pitcher filtration system? The national leading brand costs about $25 and requires 6 replacement filters per year at $8 each. This totals only $73!!

Lighting: Switching from conventional incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent light bulbs will save you about $270 in one year’s time.

Water Heater: 13% of your utility bill is from your water heater. Tankless water heaters save on average 20-45% each year. We have a timer on our water heater. Installing a timer on your water heater allows the water to only be heated about an hour before times of routine usage. The U.S. Department of Energy reports using this type of device can save you an additional 5-12%. This means the $60 cost of a timer is regained in the first year of use.

Heating and Cooling: Investing $30-$100 in a new programmable thermostat will easily be recouped within the first year as you enjoy a steady home temperature. You will also eliminate unnecessary heating or cooling while sleeping or away.

Gasoline: To improve your gas mileage try these tips: cut back on your speed, use cruise control, maintain a 2 RPM speed, fuel up in the evening, and turn the engine off during idling (such as at the drive thru, waiting on a train, etc).

Electric: Unplugging appliances when they are not in use is a fast growing trend among families trying to save on their utility bill.

Gardening: Consider growing your own fruits, vegetables and herbs, not only for consumption, but also for medicinal and homeopathic uses.

Consumer Products: Watch for my article titled “Home Make It” for great cost saving ideas of everyday products that can be simply made from home, such as dryer sheets, dishwasher cleaner, etc.

Bigg's Triple & Double Coupon Sale!!!

Just confirmed with BIGG'S in Mason!! They are Tripling ALL coupons up to $.50 & Doubling all coupons up to and including $1!!! Sale runs June 11-14!! This is for all participating stores in Cincy/KY/IN!!

Here are the details though:
1. They do accept & will double or triple internet printed coupons as long as they have the long IP address code on them.
2. If a coupon is $1/2 they will not double it to $2 unless the cost of 1 of the items is $2. For example, if you are buying 2 items that are $1.50 each and use the $1/2 coupon, your coupon will only be increased to $1.50 for both of them.
3. You can only use 3 of the same coupons per visit. So if you have a coupons that states $1 off shampoo or conditioner, you cannot get 3 shampoos and 3 conditioners. Word is this limit is per family (there goes my usual strategy of using my kids to shop/redeem) but the customer service rep I talked to said there was no way to officially monitor how many times per day you visit. (I'll be following the rules - abuse is never rewarded)
4. There is no limit as to how many total coupons per day you can use!!! So make the most of your trip(s)!!

RUN! RUN! RUN!! I will be reporting my deals on Thursday!!
