Hey there, I totally agree. I for one always get stumped and am not artistically inclined, but we have two "pictures" that explain social media management and then how the conversations work with influencers and the push/pull theory. I can send you the files if you'd like to post them!

Re: Ten Things You Need to Know About Banks and Credit Card Companies

old post Francine

I was Teeeting today about my issues with my bank as well. Apparently, keeping a balance that is well over $20k in my account still doesn't entitle me to use more than $5k in a day - which hindered my booking of some international business travel. It took me three hourd to get the bank to "let" me use my OWN damn money!

I personally carry no credit card debt - always try to use cash/debit. And if you go back to a blog I I some time ago you will see my additional story where I was penalized by three credit card companies because of that. Two cards cut my limit by more than half and one cancelled due to inactivity. So basically I was punished for NOT being in debt and keeping credit cards for emergencies.

So these institutions do things backwards from the way we can run out businesses. They are also now telling people to just stop paying their mortages (I know two people that were told this when trying to work out a deal to lower interest rates.) and they do what they can to steal (as in your case) and really to lose the GOOD customers.

Great post. I totally agree. The truth is most companies don't have the guts to REALLY get into social media. Hence the reasons they stuff videos made for TV ads into YouTube and claim they have ventured into this format successfully. Good luck on the book. When done, I'd be happy to trade you a copy of mine for yours. I wrote "PR in a Jar."
