WIND Mobile offers Superior Customers Service and Scott Campbell, Chief Marketing Officer of WIND Mobile Customers benefit – Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease

RICHMOND, BRITISH COLUMBIA – (April 27, 2011) Clearlease Reports Scott Campbell, Chief Marketing Officer of WIND Mobile ([email protected]) should be proud of Wind’s approach to customer service. On a recent visit to a WIND Mobile Kiosk located in Richmond Centre Mall, Richmond BC, a WIND Mobile representative by the name of “Nicky” went above and beyond in the area of customer service cementing recent WIND’s success in replacing the home phone, WIND Mobile has put the entire internet on sale with an unlimited, low cost offer with no usage fees and no contracts.

High speed Internet access is essential to most Canadians, yet they pay some of the highest fees in the developed world for service. WIND Mobile is changing that by putting the entire internet on sale. WIND is offering a mobile data stick with unlimited Internet use for $29 per month, about $50 a month less than other similar plans on the market. At $29/month, the WIND plan is priced lower than the lowest available capped plan from any of the incumbents or their flanker brands. For $30 from any other carrier, you only get 500mb and that price quickly escalates if you use the service for much more than email. Plus, WIND is offering the data stick for free (an $80 value) to customers that prepay two months of service.

Scott has been with WIND Mobile since our early days and was one of the key architects of our business model and market strategy. WIND benefits from Scott’s deep experience in the telecom category, both in Canadian and international markets. Scott was previously VP, Strategy & Planning at BCE, and a consultant with AT Kearney, where he worked with a number of multi-national telecommunications firms, including serving in an operational role during the start-up of an international wireless carrier. Scott graduated from Queen’s University.

Facebook launches deals program to rival Groupon Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – (April 27, 2011) Clearlease Reports Facebook is launching a deals program Tuesday in five U.S. cities, following on the popularity of Groupon and other services that offer deep discounts — for example: $50 worth of food at a local eatery for $25.

By allowing small businesses to leverage the Internet while helping consumers score great deals, these group-couponing services have become some of the fastest-growing businesses in the world.

Facebook now wants a part of that. It hopes to exploit its existing networks of friends and family when it begins testing offers in San Diego, San Francisco, Atlanta, Dallas and Austin, Texas.

Many deals sites have a social component. For instance, if you get three friends to buy a LivingSocial voucher, yours is free. Groupon’s offers become valid only after a certain number of people purchase them.

But the deals are circulated to users through email, and the community aspect is secondary.

Facebook is hoping to change that.

“We’re building a product that is social from the ground up,” says Emily White, director of local for Facebook . “All of these deals are things you want to do with friends, so no teeth whitening, but yes to river rafting.”

Starting Tuesday, when Facebook users in the five test markets log in to the site, they will see a deals insignia at the bottom of the page. (The dashboard pops up automatically if the “current city” listed in your profile is one of the five included in the pilot.)

Clicking on it brings up a list of currently available offers. A user can buy one, click the “like” button to recommend it to others or share the offer with friends through Facebook ‘s private messaging system. When users purchase or “like” a deal, it shows up in their friends’ news feed.

That means “the discovery of the product can happen in lots of different places,” White says.

To get the program started, Facebook has enlisted 11 companies that already supply deals elsewhere. Restaurant reservation service OpenTable will broadcast offers for local eateries, while online ticket seller Viagogo will market events.

“Dining out is an inherently social activity, so extending our reach to deals on Facebook is a natural experiment for us,” says Scott Jampol, general manager of OpenTable’s deals program, Spotlight.

Not all offers involve discounts. Some are experiences people may not otherwise have access to, such as a backstage pass to Austin City Limits concerts, a tour of the Dallas Cowboys’ new stadium, or a children’s sleepover at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco with live-snake demos.

In some cases, you’ll get a “friend bonus” — an additional discount — if at least one other person in your social network buys a deal.

Leveraging social tools and direct sharing among friends will be “a key to success for daily deal companies” going forward, says Lou Kerner, social media analyst at Wedbush.

This is not the first time a social network has made a foray into disseminating deals. Twitter launched its own daily deal program called Earlybird Offers last year but cancelled it after just two months. Last November Facebook launched a product called Check-in Deals that allowed users to “check in” via their mobile phones when they visit certain businesses and in turn receive discounts and other special offers. Location-based social network Foursquare has a similar program.

Offers through Facebook can last anywhere from a day to a week. The social network won’t disclose how much commission it takes. (With Groupon and others, the deal site typically takes up to half the revenue.)

There are hundreds of Groupon copycats willing to accept lower commissions, but many small businesses prefer to partner with larger companies such as Groupon and LivingSocial because they reach more potential customers.

Facebook will bring deals to even more people. While Groupon has 70 million members and LivingSocial has 28 million, Facebook has 500 million users worldwide.

Add to that the fact that many small businesses already have a Facebook presence, and the social network becomes a good fit for daily deals, says Greg Sterling, senior analyst for Opus Research.

Groupon declined to comment on Facebook ‘s competitive threat or whether the coupon site will continue to advertise on Facebook .

As a share of overall Web surfing, visits to group-buying sites grew ten-fold over the past year, according to research firm Experian. LivingSocial had 7 million unique visitors in March, up 27 per cent from February, making it one of the 10 fastest-growing websites in the U.S., according to ComScore.

“Groupon and LivingSocial have shown how much demand there is out there,” Sterling says. ” Facebook , if they do this right, can have a big hit on their hands.”

Obama pressing major oil producers to boost supplies to stabilize fuel prices Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease

WASHINGTON – (April 27, 2011) Clearlease Reports the high cost of gasoline takes a toll on politics and pocket books, President Barack Obama said Tuesday he is calling on major oil producers such as Saudi Arabia to increase their oil supplies to help stabilize prices, warning starkly that lack of relief would harm the global economy.

“We are in a lot of conversations with the major oil producers like Saudi Arabia to let them know that it’s not going to be good for them if our economy is hobbled because of high oil prices,” Obama told a Detroit TV station.

His remarks signaled a broad new appeal in the face of skyrocketing gasoline prices in the United States and they came as he reiterated a call for Congress to repeal oil industry tax breaks.

Canada, which is a major oil exporter and the largest foreign source of oil for the United States, hasn’t been immune to high gasoline prices. According to a price tracking website, the Canadian average price is even higher than in the United States, which has among the lowest retail prices in the developed world.

In interviews Tuesday with WXYZ in Detroit and in WKTR in Hampton Roads, Virginia, Obama said the message is that an economy that buckles because of high oil prices won’t grow and won’t be good for them or for the United States.

Obama acknowledged disruptions in oil production because of the war in Libya. But he said others can make up the difference and “we’re pushing them to do so.”

Libya supplied less than two per cent of world demand before a revolution erupted in February. Saudi Arabia and other OPEC countries already are covering some of that shortage by boosting production.

Canada, which isn’t a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries , has been a growing source of crude for the United States. However, increased reliance on the oil sands in northern Alberta has sparked opposition from environmentalists and others.

In contrast to conventional oil produced by Saudi Arabia , the oil sands requires more processing and energy and is considered by some to be more environmentally damaging because of the energy required to produce it.

The president’s effort to compel more overseas production echoed calls by President George W. Bush in 2008 urging Saudi Arabia to increase supplies during that year’s spike in gasoline prices. The Saudis rebuffed Bush’s efforts.

Obama said he has stressed the self-interest of oil producing nations, arguing that “if we’re not growing, they’re not going to be making money either.

“And so they need to increase supplies,” he told WKTR.

Gas pump prices have climbed for 35 consecutive days.

In a letter to congressional leaders Tuesday, Obama urged them to take steps to repeal oil industry tax breaks, reiterating a call he made in his 2012 budget proposal earlier this year. The White House conceded that plan would do nothing in the short term to lower gasoline prices.

The president wrote a day after Republican House Speaker John Boehner said he was willing to “take a look at” repealing the multibillion-dollar tax subsidies enjoyed by the major oil companies. Boehner aides on Tuesday sought to clarify Boehner’s stance, stressing that he was not advocating repeal of the tax breaks.

“He has said all along that he is opposed to raising taxes,” Boehner spokesman Kevin Smith said. “That’s his position.”

Rising gas prices have become a political weight for the White House , with polls showing that as the cost rises at the pump, the president’s approval ratings have slipped. Obama increasingly has sought to display action on oil, even as he acknowledges that there is no immediate way to stem costs.

“High oil and gasoline prices are weighing on the minds and pocketbooks of every American family,” Obama wrote. But he also added that “there is no silver bullet to address rising gas prices in the short term.”

Obama’s proposal, spelled out in his past two budget plans, would eliminate a number of tax breaks for oil companies that would generate an estimated $4 billion a year in additional revenue.

The tax breaks — some in place since the 1920s — have survived multiple attempts to repeal them in the face of heavy oil industry lobbying.

The Republican response to the president’s letter was dismissive.

Another Boehner spokesman, Brendan Buck, said Obama’s suggestions “would simply raise taxes and increase the price at the pump.” And Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said: “The president’s latest call to raise taxes on U.S. energy is as predictable as it is counterproductive.”

Blaming the subsidies on “outdated tax laws,” Obama said money obtained from repealing the breaks should be spent on clean energy initiatives to reduce dependence on foreign oil.

On Monday, Boehner told ABC News that the government is low on revenues and that oil companies “ought to be paying their fair share.”

“We certainly ought to take a look at it,” Boehner said about repealing tax subsidies for major oil companies. “We’re at a time when the federal government’s short on revenues. We need to control spending but we need to have revenues to keep the government moving.”

But Boehner made no commitment to repealing the subsidies. “I want to know what impact this is going to have on job creation in America,” he told ABC.

Libertarian Ron Paul to make another bid for 2012 Republican nomination Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease

WASHINGTON – (April 27, 2011) Clearlease Reports Ron Paul, the anti-war libertarian who’s considered the Tea Party movement’s “intellectual grandfather,” has signalled he’s running for U.S. president for the third time in his political career.

The 75-year-old Republican congressman announced in Des Moines, Iowa, that he’s setting up an exploratory committee, generally the first step in an official run for president. Paul said he’d decide soon whether to formally enter the race.

“I would be very surprised if I don’t make that decision in the month of May,” he said.

Paul ran a dark horse campaign in 2008, resulting in a small but devoted support base, particularly among young voters who were particularly stoked by his support for the legalization of marijuana.

Four years later, amid a lingering recession and consternation about the country’s gargantuan US$14 trillion nation debt, political observers say Paul’s primary messages _ smaller government and deficit reduction _ could resonate with larger numbers of Republican primary voters.

“The dialogue has moved towards Ron Paul,” Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, said Tuesday.

“For the past 25 years he’s been consistently worried about the money supply, deficits, debts and the Federal Reserve. He was all alone for a very long time, but now lots of people in the Republican party and beyond are concerned about those very issues.”

Bruce Buchanan, a professor of government at the University of Texas, agreed.

“He represents the kind of fiscal prudence that not only appeals to the Tea Party, but also the broader Republican base right now,” Buchanan said.

“If he acquires the kind of funding that he had last time, and the kind of grassroots support, he could do very well. And if the field turns out to be sparse, and people like Sarah Palin don’t run, he could pick up a big chunk of their supporters.”

Paul, who was the Libertarian Party’s presidential nominee in 1988, finished a distant fourth to John McCain in 2008, behind Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. But he set fundraising records, bringing in substantial online donations, rivalling Barack Obama’s similar triumphs during the presidential campaign.

Paul is strongly opposed to the Federal Reserve and its ability to print money, and successfully pushed Congress to pass a bill forcing it to open its books.

He wants income tax eliminated, wants to wipe out the Department of Education and has voted against raising the debt ceiling. Republicans, he argues, should have allowed the government to shut down in their ongoing fight with Democrats over budget cuts.

He has railed against what he calls “welfarism” at home and militarism abroad, and believes the U.S. should stop sending to troops to meddle in foreign conflicts like the one playing out in Libya.

His anti-military bent might not fly with some Republicans, but other stances cause the party to smile upon him.

He opposes gun control, and even believes pilots should carry firearms in cockpits. He’s also strongly pro-life and has called himself an “unshakeable foe” of abortion, although he doesn’t think the federal government should legislate abortion policy.

Paul is also opposed to universal health-care, critical of President Obama’s health-care legislation due to its scale and scope. But he’s also said he’d be willing to “prop up” Medicare and Medicaid with money saved by bringing troops home from foreign bases in places like South Korea.

On other topics, however, Paul could be a tougher sell for Republicans. Among other hot-button issues, he has called the war on drugs “a total disaster” that should be abandoned, and was in favour of a mosque being built near the site of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in lower Manhattan.

On Monday, Fox News’s Sean Hannity pressed Paul about his stance on the mosque, asking: “You are not concerned about the families of 9-11 and what happened?”

“This means you blame the religion, you don’t want to blame the religion,” Paul responded. “The principle here is a private property principle. We shouldn’t have governments building buildings and telling people where to build. It should be a private property issue.”

His announcement came just a day after the surprise decision by Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour to drop his plans to make a bid for the White House. Barbour, who had lined up major funding and top Republican strategists for a potential campaign, said Monday he lacked the “fire in the belly” to make a run.

Barbour is apparently not alone in his apathy. A recent New York Times-CBS News poll found that 56 per cent of Republican voters were unenthusiastic about any of the potential nominees.

Paul’s entry into the Republican race ends speculation that his son, Sen. Rand Paul from Kentucky, was also eyeing a bid for the nomination. The freshman senator, also a Republican, has said he’d drop any plans to run if his father joined the field.

Paul is reportedly planning to appoint top Iowa Republican strategists in an attempt to win over the crucial primary state. The Iowa primary is the first in the 2012 cycle and most presidential hopefuls spent significant money and time there.

But Jillson predicted Paul’s policies are too extreme for him to stand any real chance of winning the nomination.

“His message will resonate but he’ll still be seen as a bridge too far,” he said. “But he’ll certainly be an interesting person to watch, someone who has had a consistent, unwavering message on substantial issues for many, many years.”
