Netkiller Upgrades “Shared Contacts” for Google Apps

Leave a comment

The Netkiller Shared Contacts application, which provides valuable sharing functions for Google Apps users, has been upgraded with a number of new features, providing even more functionality and convenience.

San Jose, CA, February 09, 2012 – Many businesses have found Netkiller Shared Contacts an essential way to keep track of and organize clients, customers, and employees, as well as other contacts. The application allows for contacts to be uploaded in bulk, as well as providing one-click contact editing through the easy-to-use interface.

New features make this application even more valuable: The Netkiller Shared Contacts app now accommodates advanced methods of sorting and searching for contacts, allowing users to sort by various fields for added convenience, including first and last name, company, email address, and more. Shared-contacts can be searched for by name, address, or any other word or phrase with a detailed and comprehensive built-in search engine.

Beyond this basic functionality, Netkiller Shared Contacts also sports some unique new features for an even more valuable and interactive shared-contact system. Users can click directly on an address in the application interface to be linked to a new window with the Google Maps location of the address. Additionally, shared-contacts can be found in users’ Google Contacts; once an admin names the shared group (i.e. ‘my company shared contacts’) this common group will appear to all users, so any user with access can search and browse these shared-contacts from his or her personal Google Contacts (the shared-contacts also synchronize with smartphones).

More new features include faster application response time, a streamlined mass contact import and export system, and comprehensive admin permissions capabilities (admins can restrict users in their domain from seeing all or part of the shared contacts group, and they can determine who has the privilege to edit shared-contacts).

Best of all, the app is free for up to 100 shared-contacts for all users within a domain, or up to 30,000 shared-contacts when businesses subscribe to Google Apps for Business through Netkiller. For businesses who are interested in Netkiller Shared Contacts, but happy with their current Google Apps provider, Netkiller Shared Contacts is only $199/year for non-Netkiller clients (up to 30,000 shared-contacts for all users within a domain) and can be installed from the Google Apps Marketplace. However, access to this application for free is only one of the many benefits of switching to Netkiller for Google Apps for Business.

In addition, the first 20 customers to download the free version of Netkiller Shared Contacts and write a qualified review on the Google Apps Marketplace will receive a free upgrade to the full version of the application for one year.

More information is available at www.netkiller.com/shared-contacts. Netkiller is a Google partner, and authorized distributor of Google Apps for Business.

Quarter of UK Consumers Have No Knowledge of Partner’s Pay Finds New DiscountVouchers.co.uk User Survey

Leave a comment

Over a quarter of UK consumers has no knowledge of how much money their partners get paid according to new research this week. The survey, conducted by leading money-saving website DiscountVouchers.co.uk, found that over 25% of people know nothing of their loved one’s salary.

The DiscountVouchers.co.uk survey uncovered that 27.25% of UK consumers doesn’t know how much their partner makes, while 100% more women have personal bank accounts than men. Eight percent of women keep money in personal, secret bank accounts versus four percent of men.

Further to this the DiscountVouchers.co.uk survey also found that 43% of women lie to their loved ones about what they spend on clothing and outfits, versus 17% of men. The poll revealed that guilt was the main reason for lying to a partner in this way.

The voucher codes website polled consumers on their spending habits and uncovered that 40% of people regularly read a loved one’s personal bank or credit card statements. Contrary to that however, 10% of respondents don’t even bother looking at their credit card or bank correspondence at all.

Psychologist Dr Penny Goldsbrough comments: “We see a lot of this behaviour among consumers, and often it is most common in people with low levels of self-esteem and fear of the unknown. Opening a partner’s bank statements or credit card details implies a major lack of trust, as does having private bank accounts.”

Dr Goldsbrough continues: “Being cagey and secretive about finances is a maternal trait and so if a person has had a mother who lied about money to a father then it’s likely it is passed on to the offspring. Many people feel levels of guilt about spending money but conversely the need to spend money for therapy purposes is very common indeed.”

DiscountVouchers.co.uk helps Brits to save using money off vouchers for more than 800 of the country’s most famous on and offline retailers.

Nationwide Vehicle Contrasts Improve Customer Service By Opening At Weekends

Leave a comment

In a bid to make life easier for their many customers, one of the UK’s largest car leasing companies has decided to open at weekends, to add to its existing weekday service. Nationwide Vehicle Contracts are now able to provide the finest deals on the very latest cars on Saturdays and Sundays between 10 am and 4pm.

NVC are committed to providing the finest customer service, and have made the switch to weekend working because they recognise that many of their clients have more time on Saturdays and Sundays than they have during the week. Nationwide know that deciding from their many superb cars isn’t always an easy matter, so the decision-making process can now be a more leisurely one.

As might be expected from a major player in the leasing industry, Nationwide Vehicle Contracts have an enormous range of cars on their books. From smaller superminis lease deals such as the superb Kia Picanto and the highly acclaimed Peugeot 107 to larger SUVs like the award-winning Porsche Cayenne and the ultra-tough Nissan X-Trail and deals such as Volvo contract hire.

In recent years, leasing a car has become more and more popular, and it’s easy to see why. Choosing this option makes financial management far easier to organise in the coming years, because the driver will know monthly outgoings in advance, and of course will not have to find a major initial outlay. By becoming available at weekends, NVC’s experienced and knowledgeable staff members will now be on hand to explain the benefits throughout the week.

One of the reasons for the company’s high profile within the industry is the combination of low prices and tempting special offers, which has proved particularly attractive in the past few years. Nationwide Vehicle Contracts have always had a strong commitment to matching quality with value, and their highly impressive Price Match Challenge is an especially good example.

NVC recognise that making a decision about leasing a superb new car isn’t always the responsibility of a single person, so their weekend opening will come as particularly welcome news to couples and families. Now everyone can join in the debate about the best options, and of course with Nationwide’s friendly experts on hand to offer guidance making the right choice has never been easier.

Having established themselves as one of the largest and most proactive car leasing specialists, Nationwide Vehicle Contracts see their weekend opening as evidence of their belief in the importance of customer service. It’s also a hugely impressive indication of their commitment to the future of their business.

Capital Bank Introduces Kasasa, Changing Local Banking

Leave a comment

A Striking Alternative to the Mega Bank Rollercoaster

Fort Oglethorpe, GA, February 08, 2012 – Capital Bank asks consumers, “Do you Kasasa?” as it becomes the first financial institution in Georgia to launch the country’s most innovative financial products.

Kasasa® is a new brand of free checking and savings accounts that pays consumers to use their account with what interests them most—high interest or cash back. These accounts, combined with the personal service that only community financial institutions can deliver, are offering residents a better checking account option than the mega bank experience.

“Consumers deserve to wake up to happier days of banking and leave behind the nightmare of mega bank fees and mistreatment. We are pleased to be the first in Georgia to offer these unique products” said Dr, Joe Haskins, CEO at Capital Bank. “Kasasa delivers what research shows people really want but believe they can’t have—great financial products with the personal service of a community based financial institution.”

Capital Bank is offering two Kasasa financial products, including Kasasa Cash® and Kasasa Cash Back™. All Kasasa products are free, reward-based accounts, with no minimum balance to get the rewards, no monthly service fees, online banking and nationwide ATM fee refunds.

Kasasa Cash – A free checking account that pays high interest for every month the account holder qualifies.

Kasasa Cash Back – A free checking account that rewards account holders with major cash back on everyday debit card purchases, without points or category restrictions like the big guys. The cash back amount is based on how much consumers spend on each debit card transaction as well as their average daily balance.

To receive the Kasasa account benefits, each monthly qualification cycle account holders are asked to do a few simple things like, receive an eStatement, use a debit card a minimum number of times and have an electronic transaction (such as direct deposit) post and clear their account. If an account holder does not meet the qualifications in a given month, Capital Bank will alert the individual, who will be eligible the following month for the benefits.

“Extensive research has shown us that consumers would prefer to do business with community financial institutions, but feel they would lose access to products,” continued Dr. Haskins, “Kasasa is opening people’s eyes to a new banking model where no sacrifices are necessary. It’s a win-win because account holders get innovative products and personalized service.”

In 2009, Kasasa was piloted in six other markets across the U.S. In just the first two months of offering Kasasa, participating community financial institutions reported growth rates upwards of 150% on new account openings and 372% in deposits at institutions focused on deposit growth.

Kasasa is being introduced with an aggressive, highly engaging marketing campaign. It comes to life through a fresh mix of eye-popping advertising, the likes of which exceed the typical mega bank’s high-budget programs. The ads feature America’s top slam poets www.kasasa.com/news-and-media/advertising riffing lyrical threads around the theme of “Do you Kasasa?”

Kasasa is distributed to Capital Bank from BancVue, the leading provider of innovative products, dynamic marketing, and data-driven consulting solutions to community financial institutions nationwide to help them win the war against the megabanks.

For more information on Kasasa accounts, consumers can visit www.capitalbank-ga.com or www.kasasa/capitalbank.

Do you Kasasa?
Kasasa® is the first national brand of the most innovative checking accounts available today. The accounts, offered exclusively by the finest community financial institutions, are designed to be the first and only accounts that actually take an interest in their account holders by paying them to use their account with what interests them most—high interest, cash back, automatic savings, money to donate to charity or iTunes® or Amazon.com downloads. Kasasa, developed and distributed by BancVue, marries innovative banking products with the personal touch of community financial institutions. For more information, visit www.kasasa.com.
