eKEY Fob Offer Annoucement

For a limited time, when a GE Security customer purchases a new BlackBerry smartphone from Verizon, they will receive a free eKEY Fob.

RIM (makers of BlackBerry) and Verizon have put together an offer that gives your members a free “eKEY for BlackBerry Starter Kit” when they purchase a new BlackBerry from Verizon.  This kit includes the fob, fob instructions, and a QuickStart Guide.  The official offer website is located at http://na.blackberry.com/eng/campaign/ekey

How do you qualify for the offer?

GE Security customers can purchase the BlackBerry from any retailer that sells Verizon phones. The purchase can be made in a retail store or online.  The phone does not have to be purchased directly from Verizon (i.e. a Verizon BlackBerry purchased from an authorized reseller would also qualify).  It can be purchased from both retail and web based resellers.

IT MUST BE A VERIZON BLACKBERRY.  BLACKBERRY DEVICES PURCHASED FROM OTHER CARRIERS DO NOT QUALIFY.

How long does the offer last?

The free fob offer will apply to any new Verizon BlackBerry devices purchased from April 20^th to May 31^st 2009.  BlackBerry devices purchased outside of these dates WILL NOT qualify.

America On Line (AOL) actively blocks spam email for their users. Unfortunately this approach also tends to block emails that your clients want to receive.

If your clients use AOL mail, they may not be getting your emails.

If clients mark your MRMLS Matrix Emails or Auto-Emails as junk or spam, AOL receives that as a complaint. If AOL receives enough complaints they block the entire system.

The MRMLS Matrix Email and Auto Email function was created for agents and brokers to communicate directly with clients. The MRMLS Matrix Email and Auto Email function is a communication system, and should not be used as a marketing system.

MRMLS is working with AOL to resolve this issue. The MRMLS Matrix system conforms to AOLs requirements, and has applied to be added to AOL’s “White List.” Until AOL approves that request, you may continue to receive email delivery failures from AOL.

We encourage you and your clients to contact AOL directly to request that they unblock MRMLS Matrix Emails and Auto Emails.

Here are some best practices for avoiding email problems:

• Keep your Client List Clean. Identify, modify and disable invalid email addresses when you receive a failed invalid email address notice sent to you via email
• Keep Your Client List Current. Disable Auto Emails that no longer apply
• Keep Your Contacts Current. Maintain and update your contact list in Matrix
• “Unsubscribe”, Don’t “Junk Mail.” Have your clients hit the “Unsubscribe” link in the Email or Auto Email rather than mark your email as junk or spam. At the bottom of each email there is a link where your clients can unsubscribe for example:

  If you wish to stop receiving these emails, please Unsubscribe by clicking:

  http://www.mrmlsmatrix.com/UAE.asp?ID=0-59253721-96

• Respect Clients That Unsubscribe. Do not re-enable Auto Emails that were disabled by your client. Doing so increases your chances of being “Black Listed.”

Note, no other major email providers are blocking MRMLS Matrix Emails or Auto Emails at that time.

Susan Hanley, a REALTOR at SRCAR, is in need of a liver transplant. We received a letter from her sister:

“Ms. Lynch:

I am writing to you about Susan Hanley of Temecula Creek Realty. Susan is my sister. Recently Susan’s liver has failed due to a blood clot that went to her liver. The blood clot stopped flow to her liver and caused the liver to fail. She is suffering from extreme abdominal pain…

Susan initially had trouble getting into the hospital ( UCSD ) was misdiagnosed a few times before she was finally admitted into the hospital…

Susan is unable to work or pay for her insurance deductible. I am hoping that your organization can help her.”

So, if you have anything you can spare to help out a fellow REALTOR, I’m sure Susan and her family would be very appreciative. Please help save this 49 year old, single mom. There is a SUSAN HANLEY MEDICAL FUND account setup at Bank of America. The account number is 383004661612. You can always drop any money, checks or whatever here at the association office in Murrieta as well, and we’ll make sure the money gets to Susan.

Thank you for your help.
