BLUEPEAK REACHES AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF YUKON ON FIBER INTERNET EXPANSION

Bluepeak

A faster, more reliable and more affordable internet is coming to Yukon, Okla. Bluepeak announced today a franchise agreement with the city of Yukon to build a high-speed fiber network that will meet the growing needs of the community today and in the future. The roughly $10 million expansion effort will bring Bluepeak service to more than 10,000 residences and businesses in Yukon. “The investment we’re making to build our fiber network here is due in no small part to our great partnership with the city of Yukon,” said Rich Fish, Bluepeak’s CEO. “We’re confident our fiber-to-the-home internet service will enable economic development and meet the ever-growing connectivity needs of the Yukon community.” According to broadbandnow.com, Oklahoma ranks 46th in the nation in internet coverage, speed and availability. Moreover, A Kansas City Federal Reserve study estimated 30 percent of Oklahomans have access to fewer than two wired internet providers. Furthermore, research from a 2020 report by Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond on “Bringing Broadband to Rural America” determined that broadband access and adoption is linked to increased job and population growth, higher rates of new business formation and home values, and lower unemployment rates. “We learned during the pandemic the importance of families having high-speed internet access to education, telehealth, commerce and other services necessary to our daily lives,” said Rep. Rhonda Baker, R-Yukon. “I’m excited to welcome Bluepeak to Yukon and look forward to all they have to offer our residents.” With Bluepeak service, customers get faster speed, equal upload and download speeds, and whole-home WiFi. Bluepeak features transparent, all-in pricing, where the price on the website is the price on the bill, with a minimum speed tier of 1 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) internet service for just $50 per month. Homes can get up to 5 Gbps and businesses up to 10 Gbps and beyond. Each internet speed package includes eero Secure, which protects devices from online threats, ads and allows for customized content filtering. Bluepeak’s network provides faster speeds, better connectivity and the bandwidth to connect more devices for internet, streaming, gaming and more. Bluepeak already dramatically improves internet options for residents in other Oklahoma communities with service available in Stillwater, Enid, Perry and many more. In addition to this expansion in Oklahoma, Bluepeak is significantly expanding into other announced markets in Wyoming, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Those in Yukon looking for more information can visit mybluepeak.com. Residents and businesses interested in service availability or details on the construction process can sign up for updates by entering their service address at mybluepeak.com.

NetReputation Highlights Ways for Businesses To Improve Online Reputations and Attract Investors

NetReputation.com

As a top online reputation management firm, NetReputation is uniquely positioned to offer professional insight into the correlation between image and investment. Publicity is essential to knowing anything, and the proper promotion or metaphorical packaging can and does attract necessary financial backers for startups or existing enterprises. The problem with online forums, platforms, and the 24/7/365 pulse of the internet is an apparent lack of control. How do you manage your company's image and recruit investors when it seems like the digital landscape is so unforgiving? NetReputation Addresses 7 Essentials of Online Reputation Management True, the internet is full of the folklore of childhood nightmares, including trolls, who attack you or your company for no good reason, and gnomes, individuals who hoard past grievances like treasures, only to display and polish each as new when you or your company find a favorable light. While you cannot avoid critics or all negativity, you can manage the fallout by establishing a healthy and positive brand. Effective reputation management is about curating an image. Some criticize public relations work as manufacturing a facade when it is actually about highlighting an existing personality, voice, or identity. As NetReputation can attest, online reputation management is about taking an existing person or organization and ensuring the digital image is an accurate representation. At least seven elements factor into the creation of an ORM effort. 1. Creating Accurate Business Profiles Many business leaders underestimate the significance of business profiles. For many local companies, Google profiles or other directory listings are the primary way new customers discover them. Inaccuracies in listings, like an incorrect address or phone number, can create challenges for customers and lead to potential negative reviews. Always take the time to review local listings of your business or service. If there are mistakes, fix them. Also, prioritize creating business profiles so you can avoid simple errors. Managing your business profiles means preventing the presence of outdated or irrelevant information. 2. Monitoring Online Presence Besides reviewing business profiles regularly, you must also pay attention to the business's online presence. Understand that you and others in your company are not the only ones writing about the brand. Consumers will also post to social media and other forums to discuss experiences, products, and customer service interactions. The NetReputation team monitors brand and business keywords to stay on top of reviews, criticisms, and discussions. By staying informed of various conversations, companies have the opportunity to address client complaints and issues, showing a willingness to remain open-minded and understanding. 3. Guest Posting Guest posting can improve visibility and authority in the marketplace. By acquiring guest posting positions, a company not only has a chance to share its wisdom and experience but also gains exposure to a potential client pool. When a business focuses on sharing information rather than promoting goods and services, it is easier for customers to see it in a favorable light. Advertisements flood every monitor, so seeing a company offer advice without the promise of a sale or investment can paint it in a positive light. 4. Improving Social Media Visibility Social media is unstable and uneasy to navigate. Many small businesses avoid social platforms because of brands that effectively burn themselves to the ground making a point that's often taken out of context. NetReputation understands the reservations of most business owners, but social media users represent a significant number of consumers. When companies can toe the line between sharing posts and opinions without alienating the market, they can find lucrative paths to building strong and healthy consumer relationships. 5. Remember Your Offline Reputation Reputation management is about more than negotiating or navigating online channels. A significant aspect of online reputation stems from offline behavior. A company with poor customer relation skills in physical locations will likely experience a fair bit of feedback on digital platforms. Once the online rumor mill starts, it is nearly impossible to stop it. Therefore, NetReputation explains your offline reputation is just as important as your online one. 6. Develop Thought Leadership Skills Have you heard of thought leadership? A thought leader is someone who doesn't regurgitate the same professional insights as leaders past. They are someone who is not afraid to voice their opinions and insights, even if they might be wrong. Thought leaders exude confidence, which can encourage investment. However, do not allow ego to overshadow true business sense. A real thought leader knows how to ask for help and share the burden of success. 7. Embrace Honesty and Transparency Honesty and transparency are vital to succeeding with today's consumers and in the modern marketplace. Every business and individual makes mistakes. You do not create a positive reputation by ignoring past mistakes but by embracing them and showing real and valuable change. ORM Firms Improve Visibility With Targeted Focus NetReputation, a leading ORM firm, cannot erase your or your business' history. Still, it can help you manage online reputations moving forward, improving visibility with a targeted focus on positive attributes. With work and commitment, the firm can increase interest from investment partners by establishing you and your brand as authorities in the industry. NetReputation.com is an industry-leading online reputation management solutions provider focused on helping businesses and individuals repair, improve, and maintain positive brands on the web. Headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, NetReputation.com utilizes the latest in digital processes and technology to restore online reputations and empower long-term success online.

Did FTX’s Collapse Have You Spooked? FiscalNote’s (NYSE: NOTE) Crypto Solutions Could Help You Stay Safe

Benzinga

Last week, a series of events stemming from a CoinDesk article led to the bankruptcy of one of the biggest crypto exchanges in the world, FTX. Following the popularization of a leaked document showing the assets of Alameda Research, a Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) company, investors in FTX find themselves on the ropes. Alameda, it turns out, holds a vast majority of its assets in FTT, FTX’s native token. This discovery spooks FTX holders and Alameda investors, triggering a flurry of panic selling that annihilates FTT’s price. FTT’s descent poses a problem for Alameda Research, the quantitative crypto trading firm. FTT is Alameda’s core asset; its sudden devaluation puts the company at intense financial risk of defaulting on its loans. Facing liquidity risk, SBF reaches out to Binance CEO Changpeng Zao for help. Zao announces Binance will be acquiring FTX, saving thousands of customers from losing their deposits on the exchange, but after conducting some due diligence, Zao reconsiders. FTX is left without a solution. Soon after, SBF declares bankruptcy and issues a public apology on Twitter. The apology does little to soften the blow, particularly after more information on FTX’s activities becomes publicly available. In the days after the CoinDesk article, it was uncovered that SBF used FTX customer funds for trading via Alameda Research and took out a $1 billion loan from Alameda Research, his own company. Due to wide-scale negligence and fraud, SBF and his team have lost investors and customers millions of dollars. The SBF case also shows the frailty of certain projects within the crypto space; FTX was valued at $32 billion at its peak. It took one leak of its balance sheet to bring it to $0. FiscalNote’s Crypto-Policy-Tracking Solutions The more concerning part of this story is its unoriginality. Crypto onlookers have seen several high-profile implosions this year. Three Arrows Capital, Celsius, Voyager Digital, Luna, BlockFi and Genesis have all collapsed in 2022, sending ripples of danger throughout the crypto world. FTX’s story, while perhaps slightly more dramatic, embodies the same fault as the rest: An inability to appropriately manage risk and responsibly manage assets and liabilities. To crypto cynics, these case studies serve as evidence that the idea of a decentralized version of traditional financial systems cannot exist. To them, human error is inevitable when there are no regulations to observe and punish misbehavior. Advocates believe that these projects, no matter how large, do not reflect the value of “true” decentralized projects. Instead, they’re like weeds in a garden – a nuisance to an otherwise healthily-growing community. Given the past sequence of events, it’s clear that staunch blockchain supporters need help staying safe while this technology climbs out of its infancy stage. As an agency specialized in collecting data on the regulatory processes in the U.S. and abroad, FiscalNote Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NOTE) may provide investors with the needed safety coverage. Through its crypto-policy-tracking solutions, FiscalNote provides customers with comprehensive solutions to help investors stay on top of the regulations, stakeholders and news impacting the crypto space. Just imagine if investors could have caught the CoinDesk report right after it was published and before FTT began to tank – it would have saved them fortunes. FiscalNote’s crypto-policy-tracking solutions allow investors to: Quickly monitor thousands of U.S. local and federal bills across 12,000 local government entities and all 50 states. Access award-winning non-partisan news. Consume weekly newsletters on Congress and Federal agencies’ latest dealings with cryptocurrency-related issues. Monitor changes in cryptocurrency legislation across Europe and the world. FiscalNote’s crypto-policy-tracking solutions are trusted by Lenovo, UBS and Allianz. To the crypto optimist, they represent a safeguard against the industry’s unforgiving fraudsters. For more on how FiscalNote can help keep you safe, click here.

News Release

Why People Aren’t Calling Auto Repair Businesses

AutoTech IQ

In case you haven’t noticed, the world of communications is changing. And that includes customer calls and service requests in the auto repair business. In the past, the automotive repair business centered around phone calls and one-on-one interactions with customers. But today’s customers expect more. Digital communication and education are the foundation of today’s successful auto repair businesses. If you haven’t implemented these changes in your shop, learn about why digital tech has replaced yesterday’s phone communication. 7 Reasons Auto Repair Businesses Aren’t Getting Calls The younger generations grew up using technology, which has changed how they interact with businesses. They no longer want to call a business but prefer to communicate via text, view data-driven estimates and pay with online invoices. In other words, they require more transparency and want to understand the particulars of what they are paying for. In fact, in one study, the majority of those surveyed prefer digital communications when getting car repairs. The advent of digital communication not only gives your customers those benefits, but it also helps you build essential trust as you earn their business. Fewer People Want to Talk Because people prefer to do business digitally, they want instant access to the information that will help them decide which business to go to. One survey shows that 80% of all local searches result in a sale. But that same survey explains that the people doing the local search want to easily find the business’s number, address and product offerings. In other words, they want to skip the call — and the wait to speak with someone — and get all the pertinent information from their phone. Not Optimizing the Mobile Experience Because most people use their phones to make purchases and set appointments, the auto repair shops that have a mobile app that allows for easy online booking will attract those customers. No one wants to wait 10 minutes on the phone trying to set an appointment. Instead, they want to log onto the website, choose from the available appointments, and schedule one. An app allows customers to do things on their own schedule and not have to worry about making a decision while someone is waiting on the other end of the line. Lack of Quality Customer Service What’s worse than having to call a car repair shop for an appointment or an explanation about your car’s issues? Dealing with someone on the phone who isn’t helpful or friendly. If your customers must call your shop, it’s important to ensure they speak with someone who shows they care. And forget about old-school sales techniques when explaining the potential repairs. Today’s customers want digital proof of what’s wrong with the car and what it will take to fix it. Give your customers more emphasis on helpful and specific details to gain their trust. Long Wait Times People want access to quick information online, but that doesn’t mean they don’t expect superior service when they do have to call or interact with a technician. A survey shows that 75% of callers won’t leave a voicemail, and 85% of them will not call you back if you don’t answer the phone. And because many auto repair shops have a reputation for long wait times on the phone and in person, it’s something that needs to be addressed. Ideally, car repair shops will reduce call wait times, drop-off wait times, service wait times and the amount of time it takes to complete paperwork — all in addition to offering digital communication to their customers. Lack of Quality Customer Service Did you know that 90% of people use customer service as a factor when deciding whether to do business with a company? And 58% of those surveyed say they will switch companies because of poor customer service. In the automotive repair business, customer service often comes down to whether a business uses digital communications to allow customers to view their car repair options. These digital reports and estimates make customers feel in control and allow for better decision-making. Lack of Transparency Most people don’t know how to fix their own car, and they look for an auto technician they can trust to do the job for them. If a technician doesn’t explain a needed repair — or worse, recommends an unnecessary repair — they aren’t going to gain the trust of their customers. Today’s customers want digital proof of needed repairs from techs like AutoTechIQ-certified auto repair shops, where a vehicle’s bill of health is the basis of their recommendation. They can view digital reports and feel confident they have full transparency when making decisions. Digital Vehicle Inspections Seeing is believing, as the old saying goes, and that’s true when it comes to auto repairs. That’s why digital inspections are the new norm when it comes to auto repairs. These digital inspections show customers the whole picture of their car’s health with videos, high-resolution photos and detailed notes. And once a customer sees for themself what’s needed, they tend to approve two to three times the amount of work than when given verbal explanations. Give Customers the Control and Confidence They Need The auto repair shops that give today’s customers what they need are the shops that will thrive in this new marketplace. If you haven’t yet used digital communications and reports, contact AutoTechIQ now and find the best shop in your area.

Ready for Ron Petition Surpasses 100,000 Signatures

Ready for Ron

Ready for Ron, the only credible independent group working to Draft Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to run for President, announced its Draft Petition has surpassed more than 100,000 signatures. Organized by senior strategist Ed Rollins and appellate attorney and conservative activist Lilian Rodríguez-Baz, the 100,000 signature milestone reflects the growing national movement urging Ron DeSantis to run. “We’ve already blown past 100,000 Americans expressly urging Ron to Run, and by the time we’re done, it’ll be millions, and Ron DeSantis WILL be our next President,” stated Lilian Rodriguez-Baz, Chief Legal Strategist for Ready for Ron. The petition effort continues to grow with TV and digital advertising, direct voter outreach, and expanding grassroots efforts. Veterans Ready for Ron, led by 2016 RNC Vets director Bob Carey, and Students Ready for Ron led by Young Americans for Liberty field organizer Dylan Dean, fielded volunteers collecting signatures on Election Day at polling sites nationwide, kicking off an aggressive field campaign. The petition is also the focus of a lawsuit Ready for Ron brought in the U.S. District Court for D.C. against the Federal Election Commission (FEC) challenging an FEC Advisory Opinion preventing Ready for Ron from sharing with Governor DeSantis the names of those who signed a petition encouraging him to challenge Joe Biden. Ready for Ron’s counsel, veteran political lawyer Dan Backer, who brought the case said, “Millions of Americans want Ron DeSantis to run. More than 100,000 have signed their names to Ready for Ron’s draft petition. It’s the ultimate act of political free speech and association, and there is simply no basis for saying they cannot give those names to the Governor if – and when – he heeds their call and runs. We’re going to fight to protect our right to Free Speech and Free Association and to draft DeSantis to seek the Presidency, and we’re going to win.” “We are thrilled to have reached this significant milestone on our way to building one of the biggest grassroots movements ever,” Rodríguez-Baz continued. “The radical left is risking our future. We must change course immediately. While with the economy, inflation, crime, and erosion parental rights and the American way of life, we need confident, dependable, and proven leadership like only Ron DeSantis can deliver – and the American people are making their voice loud and clear.” Following nearly six months of work by Ready for Ron, Governor DeSantis has a growing lead in several polls in key states. The advertising efforts, phone calls, petition, and grassroots campaigns are helping generate significant lead s in key battleground states and in the hearts and minds of the American people. “If Election 2022 proved anything, it’s that DeSantis is the complete package: He is a true leader, seeing out the day-to-day roles and responsibilities that political leadership demands in good times and bad. DeSantis sticks to his principles — real, patriotic, American principles that don’t turn with the tide — but not at the expense of public service. DeSantis is not just a politician with savvy instincts; he is a public servant through and through,” wrote Ready for Ron Chief Political Strategist Ed Rollins in a November 10th op-ed in FoxNews.com. “DeSantis is not about ego or media hype; he is about results. That’s why Americans are ready for Ron to win the White House next.” Ready for Ron continues its TV and online advertising efforts to engage Americans to sign the petition at ReadyForRon.com to Draft Ron DeSantis to run in 2024. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with a ‘Ready for Ron’ spokesperson, please contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@readyforron.com.

A Look At The Growing Beauty And Wellness Space — And Some Companies To Keep Your Eye On

Benzinga

The beauty and wellness industry is currently experiencing a renaissance according to many, and companies can thank the younger generations and TikTok. TikTok has become a hub for all things beauty and wellness and in turn, could be the next big marketing gold mine. TikTok and other social media apps are allowing customers to view and experience products like never before. A potential customer can watch a video of someone unboxing a product, applying it and even see how the product survives a busy day. Social media has become the premier beauty destination, and products or companies that go viral on TikTok see massive success. Products that go viral, like the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand, are often sold out for months. The numbers are impressive, too. The #beauty hashtag on TikTok currently exceeds 100 billion views. Studies show that most social media users access the app 12 times per day, with an average of 52 minutes per day. The organic and word-of-mouth nature of apps like TikTok is deeply impacting the wellness and beauty world. The growth in the beauty industry isn’t limited to certain brands doing well. Asian skincare and beauty products are witnessing massive growth in European and North American markets. In 2022, revenue in the beauty and personal care market in Asia amounts to $210.9 billion and is expected to grow annually by 6.39%. Between brands going viral on social media apps and Asian beauty interest being piqued by K-Drama and K-Pop pop-culture sensations. It is clear that the beauty and wellness industry is on the path to continued growth and could be worth market investors keeping their eyes on going into 2023. Beauty And Health Companies To Watch In 2023 L’Oreal S.A. (OTC: LRLCY ) saw some supply chain obstacles in the years past primarily due to COVID-19 but expects to bounce back completely in 2023. The company has recently invested in research and development (R&D) as well as hired additional employees to assist with its ramp-up in 2023. Ulta Beauty Inc. (NASDAQ: ULTA) is one of the leading cosmetic suppliers in the United States. Ulta may have performed relatively well in 2022. Its most recent financial report saw the company increase net income by 17.8%. The growing interest in the wellness and beauty space is a contributor to Ulta’s increased performance. Yoshitsu Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: TKLF) is a Tokyo-based provider of health, wellness, beauty products, home goods and food. Asian Market is the company’s primary focus but it is expanding retail locations into cities in North America, Australia and the United Kingdom. Yoshitsu is also considering opening a distribution center in the U.S. to help with fulfillment times. In China (Hong Kong), the company has a growing number of retail locations and has expanded its brick-and-mortar roots into a successful e-commerce company.
