Content a Tough Sell in Europe - "Analysts at Jupiter Media Metrix, the Internet research company behind this latest study, said that in 2001 Europeans spent €590 million on content for their cell phones, almost twice the €252 million spent on desktops. The analysts estimate that by 2006, European consumers will spend €3.3 billion on cell-phone content, compared to €1.7 billion on home computers."

Here we go with those billion figures again. Personally, I don't do much commuting, I'm not a teenager, I hate predictive text. But I can blog from my phone -- though why, I don't know. But when the screen gets to be as good as my laptop (they can do millions of pixels per inch rather than the usual 72dpi of CRT screens), when they sort out the keyboard, when I can get a T1 connection both ways -- then I'll be interested. And all that is coming. Hell, most of it is already in Japan, right now.

Hi all,

As lead partners within the Regional Innovation Networks proposal I will keep you all posted with regard to any feedback I receive from Advantage West Midlands relating to the project.

I intend to discuss all the proposals informally with the Agency prior to submission, this should address any immediate issues which may require attention. I will then furnish you with a copy of your final proposal in order to check you are happy with the content before full submission to AWM.

In the mean time please feel free to contact me direct if you have any queries,

Kind Regards,

Tim

How to Upsell Business Services Clients with an Email Newsletter:
"Number 4. A seminar offer -- once a month Matrix Group holds a luncheon seminar in their conference room on a different topic, such as "How to create an email newsletter." Pineda chooses topics based both on client suggestions, and on ways she can grow and hold on to their accounts. For example, early this fall she offered a seminar entitled, "Planning your next-year's Web budget." "
"Again, although the seminars were developed as a sales tool, the detailed descriptions in the newsletter make it clear seminars are chock-full of useful content -- not sales pitches. Notably the seminars are not free. Attendees pay a token fee $15-25. This means attendees take the seminar a bit more seriously and RSVPs are more likely to actually show. "
Interesting. I'm going to start some seminars. Low cost content management, anyone?
