to compare prices between companies to ensure that you are getting an excellent price. Title: The Great Price Comparison Con Word Count: 555 Summary: Essentially price comparison sites are a fantastic idea and should highlight all that is right with the Internet, it is the pay per click element that has led the key ones astray. Keywords: price comparison websites,dvds,fridges Article Body: Price comparison sites are taking over the internet. It has never been easier to buy cheap DVDs, CDs, fridges etc. The likes of Kelkoo and Shopping.com dominate the paid advertising on the search engines and are promoted heavily through MSN and Yahoo where the price comparison is offered as a ôserviceö to users. But this is not a service, this is elite advertising for the few, and what is being offered is not a complete picture, but a partial view, based on who is prepared to pay to be seen. These sites are trading under false pretences. They do not help you find the cheapest DVDs, CDs, fridges etc. They help you find the best discount amongst retailers who pay to advertise on their site and that is a Big difference. Whilst this might be well known amongst marketers, retailers and the like, it is my strong view that most users have no idea. What reinforces this for me is the knowledge that the main price comparison sites offer a shop the opportunity to appear first in the price results for a particular product if they are prepared to pay a higher cost per clickà And guess what? It works! Paying a higher click rate results in more visits and the conversion rate doesnÆt drop a bit! That tells me that consumers either arenÆt using the sites correctly or the results are being displayed in such a way as to maximise the revenue for the price comparison site rather than the saving for the user. To my naive utilitarian notions of the future of the Internet this approach appears the absolute antithesis of what the Internet is all about. Information is power. Controlling information is therefore extremely lucrative. But controlling/withholding information is never a positive thing for those who rely on it. By using aggressive marketing tactics and huge budgets these bloated glorified link farms have set themselves up as the middle men of internet retailing. Corrupt and greedy they willingly dupe the user to maximise their own interest whilst claiming to be the consumerÆs champion! So what is the answer? Essentially price comparison sites are a fantastic idea and should

than Starbucks'. So contradictory was this claim to the two companies' reputations for this demographic group that the colleagues refused to put the matter to a taste test. 5. Extensions. With a well-established brand, you can spread the respect you've earned to a related new product, service or location and more easily win acceptance of the newcomer. For instance, when a winery with a good reputation starts up regional winery tours, then adds foreign ones, each business introduction benefits from the positive perceptions already in place. 6. Greater company equity. Making your company into a brand usually means that you can get more money for the company when you decide to sell it. A Coca-Cola executive once said that if all the company's facilities and inventory vanished all around the world, he could walk into any bank and take out a loan based only on the right to the Coca-Cola name and formula. 7. Lower marketing expenses. Although you must invest money to create a...

to which customers will subject the product, it should be remembered that customers will use the product for uses which the inventor intended as well as uses which the inventor did not intend, nor even foresee such use. For example, a screw driver might be used as a chisel which is struck by a hammer. Care must be taken to make the product robust enough to withstand foreseeable unintended uses and to warn the customer of foreseeable hazardous uses such as by applying a warning sticker to the product and a warning on the packaging and on the instructional materials. Questions in this regard should be directed towards a lawyer specializing in the legal field of Products Liability, such as in most larger city yellow pages phonebook. Finally, regarding factor 4, that the product is not properly packaged, advertised, and promoted to appeal to the customer, it should be remembered that the packaging of the product is part of the overall first impression the potential customer has of your ...

Consistently put out your communication in the same way you did with your initial mailings, but with a more personalized message. That is Database Marketing. That is how you get people to buy from you after they have reached by following up with them enough. Put in your calendar to make three different follow up phone calls; if you get voice mail then leave a message that really communicates to them. Send a variable data postcard, send an email, but stay in touch. You will be glad you did û in fact youÆll be smiling all the way to the bank. Title: Staying Afloat in a World Gone Adrift Word Count: 1247 Summary: Stating that we are living in a "world gone mad" may sound a bit drastic, but no one can deny we're hurtling towards an ugly place at a speed we can't control. The economy is going downhill, jobs are being shipped off overseas and even real estate is declining in value. How can we protect our future when our present is so dire? The outlook doesn't have t...
