ATM Placement Fuels Growth for Small Business
A recent survey carried out by the morefocus group indicates that ATM use continues to increase as a function of consumer demand and the lure of commercial profit. With the Bank of America’s September 18 announcement that it will raise fees to $3.00 per transaction, installing ATMs as an independent is attracting more eyes than ever.

Although consumers continue to complain about the level of fees, it is clear from the research that even at $3.00, transaction costs are still below the pain threshold. At this level, the profits available to small businesses and entrepreneurs become significant, with an increasing number entering the fray. According to one interviewee, the ATM placemen 1139 t bonanza was likened to the new ‘wild west’, given the significant number of new entrants staking their claims.

“It’s the reason why many individuals have taken on the installation, placement and leasing of ATM machines as their new business,” said Dr. Regan Carey, head of consumer behavior research at morefocus. “You have this environment where usage and fee per usage are increasing together over extended periods of time. As such, the laws of supply and demand remain in balance, while the cash flow and margin opportunities create an electric business environment.”

How Employee Affinity Groups Can Help You Recruit and Retain a Diverse Workforce
Employee affinity groups are a popular diversity tactic. Easy to set up and inexpensive to run, they can help companies recruit and retain top diverse talent, says Carmen Van Kerckhove, president of workplace diversity education firm New Demographic (www.newdemographic.com). They are deemed so effective when well-run that over 90% of Fortune 500 companies have employee affinity groups.

Diversity-focused affinity groups can help increase employee retention by reducing the social isolation of being the only person of color within a department or division. A good employee affinity group can also boost the number of employees of color among a company’s new hires because under-represented employees are more likely to refer friends to their employer when they know that an infrastructure exists to support and utilize them effectively.

Now that the Internet has become a more serious matchmaking option for many people, a new breed of hustlers has risen to meet the challenge. On Russian dating sites in particular, these hustlers have become a problem because of the nature of the relationships-most of the time, American men are being matched with Russian women, who tend to be more traditional and less financially stable, given Russian culture and the economy. The man searching for true love falls prey to a scammer pretending to be a poor, beautiful Russian woman who needs his help.
