Chiropractic Marketing Consultant Ben Cummings

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) February 07, 2012

Ben Cummings is founder of Practice Building Center, the web’s largest chiropractic marketing forum andtraining site containing over 300 tutorial videos and downloads.

Ben’s latest venture is a blog called ChrioBullets.com. The blog places a focus on chiropractic marketing tips and strategies, with a focus on getting more patients. Today, Ben published his latest post, titled “To to Use Hootsuite to Build a List of Patients”.

Chiropractors can access the new blog post here:

http://blog.practicebuildingcenter.com/how-to-use-hootsuite-to-build-a-list-of-patients/

Ben makes it clear in the blog post that there are many advantages for a Chiropractor who uses Hootsuite.

After telling readers about Hootsuite’s ability to pre-schedule Twitter and Facebook messages, Ben presents the reader with an informative video. This presentation outlines the use of Hootsuite in the capacity of a Chiropractor.

Ben’s new blog post transparently highlights the advantages a list-building Chiropractor will get, compared with a Chiropractor who chooses to ignore the concept.

Ben relates the importance of this lead generation tool to an earlier post about President Barack Obama. “In my article on Obama List Building technique here, we learned that President Obama takes list building very seriously. Heck, he even has turned the White House homepage into a freakin’ squeeze page!!” says Ben.

Chiropractors are faced with many list building platforms. Ben advises that focus is placed on email lists, Twitter lists and Facebook lists.

“Forget the internet for a moment. When doing an offline reactivation campaign, most doctors mail one postcard. And that’s it. Would you like to know how to get 3x’s the response rate from the same campaign? Send a postcard + send out a reinforcing email + send a voice broadcast” Ben advises, discussing the three platforms previously mentioned.

The new blog post makes it clear that the best way to create consistency with these list building techniques is to automate and schedule updates. Hence, Ben strongly advises all Chiropractors to download and use Hootsuite. Ben even offers a useful posting schedule to ensure success.

“If you can follow this posting schedule that I just shared, over time you will be building a huge local list of potential patients which you will forever be able to profit from” Ben concludes.

Where can a chiropractor learn more? Chiropractors can subscribe to ChiroBullets(TM) for free. They should visit Ben’s chiropractic marketing blog at ChiroBullets.com. “Chiropractors can start receiving ChiroBullets (TM) for no cost. They are daily, hand-picked chiropractic marketing tips and superb marketing tutorials. They are delivered to your inbox email as soon as they hit the scene,” says Ben.

Ben thinks this is important information for chiropractors, and asks chiropractors to Like his Page on Facebook to learn exclusive tips and tricks. “I’d appreciate your help in spreading the wordamongst chiropractors,” says Ben Cummings.

IBISWorld Market Research

(PRWEB) February 04, 2012

A gradual recovery in business and consumer spending and the lagging recovery in unemployment continue to hinder demand for the Movie Theaters industry. According to IBISWorld industry analyst and report author Agata Kaczanowska, “enhanced cinema experiences, such as 3D technology and luxury theaters, attract a steady audience, partly counterbalancing low consumer spending. However, industry revenue is expected to decline at an annualized rate of 1.2% over the five years to 2012; this growth includes an increase of 0.2% from 2011 to 2012.” IBISWorld anticipates that increasing consumer spending, driven by disposable income growth, will contribute to revenue of $ 12.9 billion in 2012.

The Movie Theaters industry competes with many video product viewing and access alternatives, including cable and satellite TV, iPods, cell phones and internet movie downloads to computers and game consoles. According to Kaczaowska “this competition is a major driver for investment in theaters, but it has also spurred some companies to consolidate or declare bankruptcy.” Several major players have closed locations and made significant acquisitions, such as Regal Entertainment Group’s purchase of some AMC Entertainment theaters and AMC’s acquisition of Kerasotes ShowPlace Theaters.

Major operators are investing in digital screens, improved Dolby sound equipment and stadium seating. The popularity of 3D movies has supported these theater investments. Operators charge premium prices for 3D movies and offer an experience that very few people can replicate at home. Industry profitability continues to improve as admission prices escalate and attendance rises. However, promotional discounting still prevails, thanks to weak low disposable incomes and consumer sentiment.

In the five years to 2017, the industry will benefit from increasing personal disposable income that is expected to stimulate consumer spending. During this time, revenue is projected to increase at an average annual rate of 1.2% to $ 13.8 billion in 2017. IBISWorld forecasts that companies will continue to invest in acquisitions and digital and 3D technologies, keeping profit fairly steady during the next five years.

In 2011, the industry’s top four players are expected to control about 55.9% of revenue, influenced by the continuing consolidation of operators. This concentration has increased from about 45.9% in 2006, because a number of the major operators purchased many small and larger operators after their release from Chapter 11 proceedings. The major industry players are Regal Entertainment Group, AMC Entertainment and Cinemark Holdings.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

Jennifer Tucker Klein, Ph.D., Assistant Vice Chancellor of Institutional Research and Planning at Brandman University in Irvine, CA, has been invited to attend a one-day symposium on college completion on Monday, January 30, in Washington DC. Yesterday, Tucker Klein joined 23 higher education leaders, 16 well-known researchers, and eight policy experts to identify evidence-based best practices that work to increase college completion. U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan addressed the gathering and asked participates to think about innovative, affordable ways to substantially boost college completion.

Dr. Tucker Klein states, “Brandman University values innovation and I am pleased and honored that we were invited to share our best practices as to how to improve graduation and retention rates.”

Jennifer Tucker Klein, Ph.D. is an institutional researcher and planner who began working in university research in 2002. Prior to joining Brandman University, she held research positions at University of California, Irvine; Loma Linda University; and Mt. San Antonio College. She has also done consulting on usability and marketability for undergraduate online statistics books for Cengage Learning. In addition to research, Dr. Tucker Klein has taught undergraduate and graduate level statistics for Loma Linda University and Brandman University. Her emphasis areas include enrollment analysis, strategic planning, evaluation research of higher education, survey research and analysis, data mining, GIS, and advanced statistical analysis.

Brandman University, a part of the Chapman University System, has been recognized for having a consistently high completion rate. A recent examination has shown that over the past four years, a steady average of 70 percent of Brandman University undergraduate students will graduate within six years.* When asked how Brandman has consistently achieved such a high graduation rate, Chancellor Gary Brahm states, “Our mission is to support student success. As a non-profit, we invest more in instruction, academic support and student services and do everything we can to ensure that our students will graduate.”

Brandman’s completion rate stands out particularly among institutions serving non-traditional students, many of which have recently undergone scrutiny for low graduation rates and high student loan default rates. “The completion rate and student loan default rate tend to have an inverse relationship. If you don’t graduate, it becomes harder to pay back your student loans,” said Rita Wilds, spokesperson for Brandman University. Brandman’s 2.3 percent student loan default rate falls significantly below the national average (8.8 percent) and is especially low given Brandman’s mission of educating non-traditional students.*

With a clear vision to be the recognized leader in the evolution of adult learning, Brandman has developed innovative measures that support student retention and completion. In addition to its strong rate of completion, recent success indicators include:

    The University announced this month that it would introduce a new program aimed at improving the completion rate of Hispanic students through Dual Language English Immersion (DLEI). Backed by University Ventures Fund, the innovative program was designed to respond to one of the greatest challenges in higher education today, providing access to higher education to the country’s growing Hispanic population.

    An innovative leader in online learning, Brandman University’s online Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) program was one of just fourteen named to the Honor Roll in the first-ever edition of Top Online Education Program rankings by U.S.News & World Report. Brandman University is the only institution in California to receive this distinction. In addition, Brandman’s School of Education earned the number ten spot among Faculty Credentials and Training for online graduate programs in Education.

    The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) has recognized Brandman University with the 2011 Institutional Service Award for its flexible, targeted programs that benefit the specialized needs of adult students who want to advance their education, but have a variety of other responsibilities.

About Brandman University

Brandman University is a private, non-profit institution accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Established in 1958 and a part of the Chapman University System, Brandman blends a legacy of academic excellence with progressive, innovative curriculum and strong support services designed for working professionals.

For more information, visit http://www.brandman.edu or call 800-746-0379.

*The two-year “cohort” default rate represents the proportion of federal loan borrowers who entered repayment between October 2008 and September 2009 and had defaulted on their loans by the end of September 2010. More information can be found at http://www.nslds.ed.gov and http://www.brandman.edu/sources.

Jaime Raskulinecz

Roseland, NJ (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

The ongoing uptick among investors making real estate investments through self-directed IRAs has the staff at Next Generation Trust Services very busy. The third-party administrator of self-directed retirement accounts, located in northern New Jersey, has joined and supports several real estate investment associations (REIAs) in order to educate investors and their advisors about these types of real estate transactions. Founder and CEO Jaime Raskulinecz says that although self-directed retirement accounts have been around since the inception of IRAs in the mid-1970s, this retirement savings strategy is still a mystery to many.

“We have stepped up our support of REIAs in 2012 because of the continuing strong level of inquiries at our office about making real estate investments through self-directed retirement plans,” said Raskulinecz. “The REIAs provide a great service to experienced and novice real estate investors through education, networking opportunities, and connecting them with mentors or access to valuable resources.”

Next Generation Trust Services provides account administration and transaction support for self-directed IRAs (traditional and Roth), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Health Savings Accounts, and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts. These accounts enjoy the same tax advantages as regular IRAs and the investment decisions are made strictly by the account holder.

Raskulinecz noted that the bulk of the transactions managed by Next Generation Trust Services are related to residential and commercial real estate; self-direction allows for a broad array of alternative investments including mortgages, unsecured loans, precious metals, commercial paper, and private placements.

Supporting and Educating Real Estate Investors

Real Estate Investment Associations provide networking, business-building, legislation leadership, and education. In general, these associations and investment clubs are chapters of the National Real Estate Investment Association and serve individual real estate investors and related businesses. Next Generation Trust Services has joined six REIAs in New York and New Jersey: Long Island Real Estate Investors Association, Real Estate Investors Association of New York (REIA NYC), Metropolitan REIA, New Jersey Real Estate Investors Club, Tri-State Mixer, and Mid-Hudson Valley Real Estate Investors Association. Most are members of the National REIA. The organizations’ meeting schedules are posted on the Next Generation Trust website, http://NextGenerationTrust.com, for those at which one of the firm’s representatives will attend.

On February 8, 2012 the company’s marketing assistant, Jared Lopez, will attend REIA NYC’s general meeting; the presentation topic will be “Do You Have the Right Kind of Entity Structure for Your Real Estate Deals?” Lopez will be available to answer questions attendees might have about self-direction as a retirement strategy, and to explain how to make real estate investments through an IRA. CEO Raskulinecz is scheduled to speak at the March 14 meeting on “Why Real Estate Investors & Professionals Need to Know about Self-Directed Retirement Plans.” REIA NYC meets at the New Yorker Hotel, 481 Eighth Avenue in Manhattan on the second Wednesday of each month.

“Real estate will always be a popular investment,” said Raskulinecz. “For those savvy investors who are already know and understand this type of investing, doing so through a self-directed IRA can be a more aggressive way to build an eclectic and more lucrative retirement portfolio,” she added. For more information about real estate investing through self-directed retirement accounts or any of the many other allowed alternative investments, contact Next Generation Trust Services at Info(at)NextGenerationTrust(dot)com or (888) 857-8058.
