We've all heard the classic "Mission Impossible" sound bite where, after the agents have listened to the taped message, it announces that "this tape will self destruct in five seconds."

There are plenty of businesses where customers virtually demand to have an ongoing relationship. By that I mean occupations like real estate agents, networkers and financial advisers. It's almost as if your client is sitting on the phone waiting for your call and, if they don't get it, they are either going to be mighty peeved at you for not keeping in touch with them or they will take their business elsewhere. Either way you can lose a good client for life or, at the very least, a sale. Musubi takes the difficulty out of relationship building and gives you ... Read more
You just can't call it spam anymore. You see, email marketing has moved on such a long way from the days of the bulk email that everyone out there would dread receiving. People assumed (quite rightly in many cases) that there was always a viral aspect in unwanted emails and found all sorts of ways of stopping them. This, of course, defeated the purpose of the advertising campaign. So email marketers take a different line these days. Transactional emails are ones that are triggered by a different action. If you sign up for something and get a welcoming email back ... Read more
There are a number of reasons why people are reluctant to change over their email service.

There are many reasons why we might switch over to a new email provider but very few of us actually go through with it. I swear that many ... Read more
If there is one thing that has emerged from the recent US election it is that, whether you approve of the massive political advertising campaigns or not, the behind-the-scenes fundraisers did an incredible job of getting people to donate. It's said that each side raised and spent close to a billion dollars on their campaigns over the period. Inspiring people to donate has moved on from the cold calls of old to a much more analytical method of coaxing the last dollar out of their donors. Encore takes a new approach to fundraising and engaging donors for non profit organizations ... Read more

There are still people out there that believe that climate change is a myth but I think the more astute of us realize that, weather-wise, things aren't quite the way they used to be where the weather is concerned. Massive storms and tornadoes and drought across large areas of America. A couple of years ago in Australia there was a slowly moving flood that was the size of Germany and Poland put together. And we won't even talk about the Katrina floods. One of the most important things that has been learnt is that there is nothing better than an ... Read more

One of the great drawbacks to email is that you never really know whether the message you have sent has actually been read by the recipient and you won't know that for sure until you get a reply. I would think that if they could have their time again, the email developers would have added that feature when they designed it. It could be your resume you are sending for a job or you could be applying for a college position so you will probably be biting your nails waiting for an answer. Let's hope your email hasn't gone to ... Read more
