Update from the President of TCA

 

Good morning everyone! I hope you had a GREAT week! What a crazy week for us! We thought December would be “slow,” but YOU had no intention of making that happen! No, you increased our pageviews by almost 10% in December compared to November! When we look at 2014, you increased by almost 100%!!!! If we don’t look at pageviews and simply look at how many times you hit the site (sessions or the number of times a single person hit the site), you were up by 115%!

 

That’s incredible! THANK YOU! Your continued support, especially during a busy holiday, helps keep our lights on! This support is what helps make sure that we can continue to push settlement administrators to list settlements with us, which makes sure we’re able to tell you about cash you can claim! In fact, yesterday, I sent another email to a brand new settlement administrator about utilizing Top Class Actions for their notification campaign. The more we can work with settlement administrators directly, the easier it is for us to make sure you don’t miss out on settlements you can claim.
