Fannie Mae has agreed to let renters stay in their homes even if the owners of the properties have been foreclosed on, according to an announcement from the company yesterday. About 4,000 renters live in properties foreclosed on by Fannie Mae.
The move comes after the mortgage-finance giant came under pressure from a Connecticut legal aid group to end efforts to evict tenants who are able to pay their monthly bills but whose landlords have lost their buildings to foreclosure.
It represents another step the company is taking to keep people in their homes. Last month District-based Fannie Mae and McLean-based Freddie Mac announced that they would suspend foreclosures and evictions during the holiday season and introduced a program to modify mortgages of owners facing foreclosure. Freddie Mac hasn't announced a policy regarding renters.
New Haven Legal Assistance Association had threatened Fannie with a lawsuit if it did not amend its practices. Fannie said it would place a moratorium on evictions until Jan. 9 and then issue a policy to reach out to tenants in foreclosed properties, either signing new leases with them or helping them relocate. The details of that policy haven't been worked out.
"No renter should feel any apprehension of losing their home," Curtis Lu, principal deputy general counsel of Fannie, wrote in a letter to the New Haven Legal Assistance Association yesterday.
"We had seen bona fide renters who were current on their rent being forced to leave their homes," New Haven Legal Assistance attorney Amy Marx said in a statement. "We are delighted that Fannie Mae took our concerns seriously."
Fannie owns only a small fraction of foreclosed properties in which tenants now risk evictions. It wasn't clear whether others would take similar steps.
"It is our hope that this new policy by Fannie Mae will serve as a model to private lenders and state legislators considering actions to assist renters who are being immensely burdened by the foreclosure crisis," said Shelley White, director of litigation at New Haven Legal Assistance.
A good article from Janine Popick, President and CEO - Founder of Vertical Response Marketing that landed in my inbox this morning.
Well, it's the end of the year and you're not only sending a ton of email but you're getting it too, right? Retailers are going nuts trying to get as much as they can out of the short season. I'm seeing an email every 30 seconds pop into my inbox and I'm sure many of you have it just the same. Bloomie's and Nieman Marcus are up to 2-3 mailings a DAY right now, but they mail every day anyway, so that's not completely out of the ordinary. On top of that, the businesses who market to businesses are feeling the end-of-year crunch so they're having fire sales for their goods and services too.
What really got me this year was the sheer number of retailers I've purchased from last year, that didn't send me one email until November. Now by inbox runneth over with emails from them.
Where's the Respect?
Bounce rates are likely to be higher due to the amount of people that had a change of email address. Think of the many people who've unfortunately lost their jobs this past year. If you're not giving them something of value and keeping in touch with them throughout the year, they probably won't give you their updated email addresses.
Response rates might be lower because it's been so long since recipients have been communicated to. In fact, like me, recipients might feel "used and abused" because businesses are only giving them great deals when THEY need them the most, not when recipients need the deals most. Remember, it's a two way street. You both are giving and taking.
On top of response rates being low unsubscribe rates could soar. If recipients are all of a sudden getting slammed by your emails when they've not heard from you, they're more likely to unsubscribe.
So here's to 2009, we all need to look at our marketing dollars under a microscope. The people that are going to get you through any tough times are your customers. So make sure you don't abuse them, and make sure you build a lasting relationship with them all year long.
This is an unforgettable true story about a young man with Down's Syndrome who changes the culture of a grocery store by being creative and giving the customers more than they expect. The service we provide our customers today will either make or break a business regardless of what kind business we operate. We all are facing adversity in the world we live in. Perhaps if we change the way we provide service our customers we will all weather this storm in todays market?

Do you search Google for your trophy keyword every morning to see if you’re still on the first page? Do you check more than once a day? If so, you are a rankings junkie and it’s time to shake the habit. Things have changed with the search engines to the point where rankings are no longer the best indicator of SEO success. Honestly, rankings have never been the best indicator of success, but this is becoming more and more important for marketers to understand. You should be focusing on how much traffic is coming from search, which keywords are driving that traffic, and most importantly, which keywords are driving sales.
The most recent twist in the search universe was Google’s announcement this week of the launch of SearchWiki. SearchWiki gives registered Google users the opportunity to mess with the position of sites in the SERPs. Basically, it gives me as a searcher the opportunity to pick which site shows up in the top spot and get rid of all the crap that isn’t relevant for any given search. Sound incredible? Don’t get too excited, any changes I make will only be visible to me when I’m logged into my Google account. However, position adjustments and comments people make in SearchWiki can be viewed by other searchers if they click on the “See all notes for this SearchWiki” link at the bottom of the page. If this catches on, and isn’t ruined by spammers, I expect SearchWiki to gradually gain more importance in what people see when they search. The first step will be to allow the option to let people’s search results be influenced by friends’ wiki changes, and then Google could start including aggregate wiki data as part of their search algorithm for the general public.
At the recent PubCon conference, representatives from all three major search engines spoke about how each is trying to offer more than “ten blue text links.” What they mean by this is that rather than the traditional 10 text links to web pages when you search, they are starting to serve up other types of content that is relevant to your search query. We’ve been hearing about this trend for the past couple years, and it has gradually become more prominent in the search results–known as Universal or Blended search. Any given search could yield results for images, video, shopping, blogs, local maps or news. Rather than just links to these other types of media, they are often embedded right in the search page. With this shift away from the standard “10 blue text links,” it changes the paradigm of search engine optimization. While optimizing web pages is still important, if you aren’t creating and optimizing a wide array of digital assets, you are missing out on a huge opportunity to get your brand in front of searchers.
Another major shift in the search engines that will continue to have a huge impact on search marketers is personalization of the search results. The search engines are starting to customize the search results for each individual searcher based on their search history, geographic location, or other demographic factors. This change makes it futile to focus on search engine rankings, because the ranking will vary depending on who’s searching.
Mobile search is another important area to consider. The newest smart phones like the G1 and iPhone make mobile search look a lot like regular web search, but it’s still a different experience searching the web from a mobile device. It’s a much smaller screen, and people aren’t usually searching for the same reasons they would search at the office or at home. Mobile search centers more around local search, it’s about finding restaurant reviews, phone numbers, directions, stuff they need to know when they’re on the go. Often, the default Google search from a mobile phone they serve up search results that are localized to the searchers location. Search tools like Google’s recently launched voice search application for the iPhone, and ChaCha, which as been around for a while, give people the option to speak search queries, or even send them via SMS text messages.
What does all this mean? It means we need to rethink how we look at search engine optimization. We need to do all the little things to make our sites relevant for our keywords. We also need to think beyond our own websites and provide unique, valuable content in as many different formats as possible. Focus on being relevant to whatever and however people might search, and your traffic and sales numbers will tell you if you are hitting your target.
Early this year, when the housing market slowed down in Florida, the economists predicted that the market will bounce back in about 12 to 18 months. Housing prices fell, hotels lost money. As we reported earlier, the only real-estate related market that thrived was vacation rentals. Vacation rentals grew 17% in 2007 and were poised for another mega-growth year in 2008, when the big recession news and the financial troubles on Wall Street hit the news. And then things changed.
According to Kenny Doucette, founder of http://www.vacationrentalhotspots.com, the leading Vacation Home website in Florida, “It appears that everyone is feeling the pinch. Spending is slowing down everywhere and even the fast growing vacation rental market is experiencing slower growth. But wait, this could be a good thing for you. A lot of the rentals listed on our site have dropped prices. That, combined with relatively off-season Winter prices, Vacation homes are priced at near 5-year lows today. There couldn’t be a better time for recession relaxation, if you ask me”.
Your savings don’t just stop with your vacation home prices. Menupages.com recently reported that middle-tier restaurants (not your high-end Steakhouses or the fast food places) are lowering their prices significantly. Another report showed that Disney hasn’t raised their ticket prices like they always do. Airlines are slashing prices, gas prices have dropped in recent weeks as well. Kenny adds “As human beings, we all seem to have a herd mentality. When the news of economic slowdown hits the market, everyone stops spending, even the ones that have the money.”. If you are one of those that was smart enough to get through the recession with money still in your pocket, you deserve a break, and with recession prices, you could end up saving up to 40-50% on your vacation, which means you could spend twice the amount of time on your vacation now than you could when the economy bounces back.
