Companies from the U.S. and Around the World invited to take part in Free National United Kingdom Mail Out

The recession busting initiative being organised by RDP Ltd, a direct marketing company seeks to almost eliminate marketing risk for companies around the world operating in difficult global economic conditions. All the costs for postage, printing and distribution of the UK mailing will be carried by RDP. The only charge will be for responses received at an agreed rate prior to commencement.

 

Stuart Keyte Managing Director of RDP said ?recognising that many organisations are facing extremely difficult times at present, RDP has decided to put its money where its mouth is and offer a national United Kingdom mailing free of charge of postage, print and distribution and will only charge for any enquiries generated at a pre-agreed rate per enquiry. If they receive no response then there is no charge. Companies are also able to cap response rates. This turns many traditional marketing methods on their head and moves the risk from participating companies to RDP which should prove very attractive in a recession. We are inviting companies that sell products or wish to sell products to the UK to take part. The mailing will be heavily profiled to homeowners in the UK of ABC1 marketing category.  Printing, distribution and postal costs of the UK wide mailing will all be paid by RDP?.

DIRECT MARKETING SERVICES

According to Wikipedia, direct marketing can be defined as "a sub discipline of marketing which is focused to driving purchases that can be attributed to a specific call to action". This marketing sub discipline includes mediums that allow you to communicate directly with your customers. Generally, direct marketing includes direct mail, email, newspaper, radio, television, and of course the internet.

Direct marketing is a marketing discipline by which an organization communicates directly with its customers in order to generate a response, transaction, or sale. Direct marketing is a tried and tested method which has become popular throughout every kind of business in almost every country in the world.

The most common techniques of direct marketing include telephone sales, solicited or unsolicited emails, catalogues, leaflets, brochures and coupons. Generally, an important aspect of a successful direct marketing strategy depends on the compilation and maintenance of your database of personal information regarding potential customers and clients which are often sold or shared with other direct marketing companies.

Direct marketing can also be termed as a strategy that enables you to target specific groups which are relevant to the product or service your business is selling. Direct marketing can result in huge cost savings to a business, as the direct marketers only spend money on essentials.

This not only reduces expenditure but saves time as well. Direct marketers do not attempt to influence people, who have absolutely no interest or need for their products or services. Direct marketing generates a much more positive response than any other marketing strategies because effort applied by the marketers concentrates on specific and pre-qualified target groups.

In direct marketing, results are immediately achieved by targeting a relevant and specific audience. Only by running a few simple tests, a direct marketer can determine a close estimate of what percentage of this target will respond to the offers. With this strategy, the results can be predicted accurately, so, direct marketing as a whole can be described as a ?numbers game.?

However, the main focus of any direct marketing strategy is to increase the number of customers that respond to a marketing campaign or "response rate", while trying to decrease the cost of advertising.

DIRECT MARKETING COMPANIES

Ever thought of working from home? It is an excellent way to make some money with a flexible schedule.

Today, direct marketing companies are the number one choice for work-from-home business opportunities. The reason for their popularity is the start-up costs, which are often minimal and sometimes even non-existent. Direct Marketing companies, typically, do not require much experience when hiring employees. Most direct marketing companies will provide all the training that you need.

These days, hundreds of work-from-home business opportunities exist in direct marketing. From house wares to candles, food, appliances, healthcare products and even lingerie, there is wide variety of products to consider selling. First, you have to decide what you want to market. However, choosing the right company to work with is an important key to your business's success.

Following are some guidelines that indicate what to look for when considering a direct marketing work-from-home business:

1) A company with a trusted reputation.
Generally, the longer time span a company has spent in a business, the better its public image. Newer companies (those in business fewer than 10 years) are typically believed to lack experience in their markets.

However, this does not indicate that the company is bad. This simply implies that you may have a difficult time generating business with them.  Your potential customers may be skeptical simply because they will be unfamiliar with the company you are representing. Whereas choosing a well-established company with a known brand is half the battle won.

2) A company that provides a guarantee.
In most cases, it is tough to sell a product that you don't believe in and it is even harder to sell something that doesn't come with a guarantee. However, the best direct marketing companies will always offer guarantees with few or no strings attached. Therefore, you should look for companies that offer long warranties and unconditional return policies. In most cases customers are afraid to buy if guarantees are shaky or non-existent.  This will make it increasingly difficult to sell your product.

3) A company that isn't too restrictive.
If you desire flexibility, then you should always select a company that will give you your freedom. Some companies require salespeople to maintain a certain monthly quota, while others say that it is not mandatory, but will pressure you to do so anyway. However, a truly flexible company will recognize your need to take time off for vacations, emergencies, illnesses and so on. You should never work for a company that threatens its associates with penalties for not producing enough sales.

Is direct marketing right for you?

Is Direct Marketing Right For You?

Last Tuesday I received a sms from my son?s school. It caught me by surprised because the school had closed for the vacations.

?What could they possibly want, now?? I thought.

 

The school was calling for a special meeting with parents to decide on the new school bus service.

 

The meeting was on a Sunday so I went. When I reached the school, there were a few hundred parents already assembled there. I learned that all of them had received a similar sms.

 

The principal started the meeting with a formal address indicating the purpose of the meeting and then asking us to proceed to our kids? classrooms and meet the respective class teachers for further discussions.

 

When I met my son?s class teacher, she was ready with a file which was a record of my son?s performance for the last two years. She started by complimenting my son for his excellent performance and pointing out the areas in which he had an interest or was exceptionally good. Then she went on to mention the extra activities started by the school to further help students who showed interest in particular fields. Most of these activities were either on Sundays, or, after school hours.

 

She, then, went on to point that since my son travels to school in our own vehicle, we might be wasting a lot of time and effort just dropping him to school and picking him up after the school or these special sessions, time and again.

 

And how we could minimize the hassle by opting for the school bus service.

 

This was brilliant!

 

The school had the contact details of all the parents, the performance records of all the students and they used it to prepare a customized pitch for each individual case and sell their new school bus service.

 

 

 Let us consider the main objective behind direct marketing.

 

The main objective of direct marketing is to find and keep profitable customers. If your business thrives on repeat orders from existing customers (and which business doesn?t?) and value of business associated with a customer during his/her association with you is substantial then those customers is going to prove highly profitable. You already know...

 

...that the unique feature about direct marketing is the ability to measure and compare results- every direct marketing message can be tracked for results. But what?s more is...

 

... having a database allows you to identify and communicate with each and every customer as an individual who has unique needs that sets them apart from the masses. It allows you to craft customized messages, make personalized offers which are relevant, therefore, highly accepted, and measure each individual campaign. What?s more?

 

The right database will allow you to identify the right customer, approach him with the right offer and also help you choose the right medium and design the right message.

 

For e.g. in the real life example below, an importer of beer had a perception of their target audience while after profiling the database a completely different profile emerged.

Clients perception

Affluent class Males Who can afford to pay premium for beer

But when they accessed their database to profile their regular buyers a totally different scenario emerged.

Actual findings

Middle class Males Who believed imported beer was superior Who did not mind paying a premium for imported beer

These findings re-invented the client?s direct marketing strategy. But then, every business is different, and database marketing might not be right for you, after all. If you want a second opinion we would be more than happy to give it.

Discontinued

CPU
PowerPC G3,300 450MHz

An open Power Macintosh G3 case, showing the logic board placement on the hinged door.
The Power Macintosh G3 series (commonly known as the "Blue and White G3", or sometimes just the "B&W G3" to distinguish it from the original Power Macintosh G3) was a series of personal computers designed, manufactured and sold by Apple Computer Inc. as part of their Power Macintosh line. It was introduced in January 1999, succeeding the original "beige" Power Macintosh G3, with which it shared the name and processor architecture but little else; it was discontinued in favor of the Power Mac G4 line in August 1999.
The Blue & White G3 used a modified version of the memory/PCI controller, the Motorola MPC106 (codenamed "Grackle"); it used the MPC106 v4. The I/O "Heathrow" had been replaced by "Paddington" (adding 100 Mbit Ethernet and power save features), the audio chip "Screamer" (on the beige G3's "Personality Card") had been replaced by "Burgundy", and other controllers for Firewire (Texas Instruments PCI-Lynx), for USB etc. were added.
Note that "Paddington" only handles the slow IDE bus for CD/DVD and ZIP, in fact it provides up to 16.6 MB/s like its predecessor "Heathrow". The fast IDE bus for the hard disks is an extra chip and provides up to 33 MB/s; this one is the problem in the Rev 1 blue/white G3s.
Though still based on the PowerPC G3 architecture, the G3 B&W was a totally new design. The first new Power Mac model after the release of the iMac, it used a novel enclosure with the logic board on the folding "door", which swung down onto the desk for easy access (a design that was also used on all Power Mac G4 models except for the Cube). It also introduced the New World ROM to the Power Macintosh line.
Hardware
The faster models (not the 300 MHz model) used the new copper-based PowerPC G3 CPUs made by IBM, which used about 25% of the power of the Motorola versions clock for clock. The B&W line ranged from 300 to 450MHz. Despite its 100MHz system bus and PC100 SDRAM, the 300MHz B&W G3 performed worse than its 300MHz Beige predecessor, because it had only 512KB L2 cache, half of what the 300MHz Beige had. The logic board had four PCI slots: three 64-bit 33MHz slots, and one 32-bit 66MHz slot dedicated for the graphics card, an ATI Rage 128 with 16MB SGRAM. Four 100MHz RAM slots accepted PC100 SDRAM modules, allowing the installation of up to 1GB of RAM with the use of 256MB DIMMs. The onboard ATA was upgraded to Ultra ATA/33 (in fact an extra UDMA-33 controller was added, see above), but SCSI was no longer present, having been replaced by two FireWire ports, a new standard (IEEE1394) running at 400Mbit/s (50MB/s) faster in theory than even the ATA/33 (33MB/s) hard drive controller. The serial ports were gone, too, having given way to two USB 1.1 ports (12Mbit/s), as implemented already in the iMac. The ADB port remained, as did the option for an internal modem. Also gone was the internal floppy disk drive. 100BASE-TX Ethernet was now standard, and audio was moved back to the logic board. A Zip Drive remained an option, and some configurations included a DVD-ROM drive and a DVD-Video decoder daughtercard for the graphics card, allowing hardware-assisted DVD video playback.
The blue-and-white Power Macintosh G3 was the first Power Mac with the "New World" architecture which only contained a small (approximately 1MB) boot ROM. When booting the Mac OS the Mac OS Toolbox and any other ROM patches installed would be loaded into ram (the former Beige G3 however was the first Mac with this ROM-in-RAM capability). Initially, many buyers chose to buy the older "Platinum" G3s instead, in order to maintain compatibility with existing peripherals.
The blue and white G3's case design was widely praised at the time for being easy to open up and work on. It had a door on the side that hinged down by pulling a latch at the top. No components needed to be removed or unplugged to open the case, and in fact it could be done with the computer running. The logic board was positioned in the door, providing easy access to all components. The hard drive(s) were mounted in a bracket affixed with one screw on the floor of the case. There was room for four internal hard drives. Removable drives were in a more conventional position at the top of the case.

The inside of the Power Mac G3
Early blue and white G3s ("Revision 1" units) had IDE controller problems related to the ATA/33 hard drive controller that made it impossible to connect two hard drives and prevented the use of newer drives. Using newer ATA drives in those units resulted in data transmission...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about iron cast valve, electric expam/nsion valve, .

Joint Task Force Guantanamo counter-terrorism analysts reports that Al Jayfi was born on September 1, 1979, in Sada, Yemen.
Combatant Status Review Tribunal

Combatant Status Review Tribunals were held in a trailer the size of a large RV. The captive sat on a plastic garden chair, with his hands and feet shackled to a bolt in the floor. Three chairs were reserved for members of the press, but only 37 of the 574 Tribunals were observed.
The neutrality of this section is disputed. Please see the discussion on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. (December 2007)
Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the Geneva Conventions to captives from the war on terror. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct a competent tribunals to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of prisoner of war status.
Subsequently the Department of Defense instituted the Combatant Status Review Tribunals. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were lawful combatants -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an enemy combatant.
Summary of Evidence memo
A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Issam Hamid Ali Bin Al Jayfi's Combatant Status Review Tribunal, on 12 January 2005. The memo listed the following allegations against him:
a The detainee is associated with al Qaida:
The detainee was told that the Saudi Arabian and Yemeni governments had issued Fatwahs to the jihad in Afghanistan.
The detainee voluntarily traveled to Afghanistan from Yemen via Pakistan in August 2001.
The detainee believes that a jihad recruiter and financier obtained his passport and paid for his travel to Afghanistan.
The detainee stayed at a guesthouse in Kabul for seven weeks.
The detainee stayed at a guesthouse in Jalalabad for one month.
The detainee advised that he was provided his accommodation, food and necessities at no cost.
The detainee has familial ties to an individual who was scheduled to travel to California/San Francisco with associates of the September 11 hijackers.
The detainee telephone number was found in the pocket litter of another detainee along with the telephone number of a Mujahideen who trained at an al Qaida camp and extensive notes on electronic and radio theory.
b The detainee participated in military operations against the coalition.
The detainee most likely carried an AK-47 rifle in Afghanistan.
The detainee joined the Taliban forces for approximately one month before Kabul fell to the Northern Alliance.
The detainee surrendered to Dostum Forces at Mazar-E-Sharif without identification documents.
Transcript
Al Jayfi chose to participate in his Combatant Status Review Tribunal.
Testimony
The Tribunal officers read out the allegations against Al Jayfi, and he responded to each, in turn, as follows:
Al Jayfi denied any association with al Qaeda; denied ever participating in jihad or training with weapons. He denied any knowledge of al Qaeda until he was interrogated.
Al Jayfi denied any involvement in Fatwas, and said in his life, in Yemen, had nothing to do with Saudi scholars.
Al Jayfi was confused by the third allegation, that an al Qaeda recruiter/financier paid for his travel. His friend Sammy paid for his travel expenses, but he had no reason to believe Sammy had anything to do with al Qaeda.
Al Jayfi acknowledged spending some weeks, he couldn be sure how many, in a guesthouse in Kabul, and for a month in Jalalabad, in the company of his friend Sammy.

Hum Aapke Hain Koun...! (Hindi: ?? ???? ??? ???, Urdu: ?? ?? ?? ??? ???, translation: Who Am I to You?) is a 1994 Bollywood film directed by Sooraj Barjatya and one of the most successful Bollywood films ever. The film is a story of two Indian families and the relationships between them, celebrating Indian culture using modern production values. It is noted for its lavish depictions of North Indian wedding ceremonies. Its popular soundtrack, including an unusually large 14 songs, was scored by Raam Lakshaman. Hum Aapke Hain Kaun stars Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit, two of the top Bollywood stars of the 1990s. HAHK was very influential and inspired young filmmakers such as Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar. This movie was dubbed into Telugu as Premalayam.
Plot
The story was originally adopted in the film Nadiya Ke Paar of Rajshri Productions and again in this film HAHK. It tells the story of two lovers, Prem (Salman Khan) and Nisha (Madhuri Dixit).

Rajesh finds life hard without Pooja, and he finds it especially hard to raise their son. The parents decide to get Rajesh married to Nisha so that he won't feel so lonely, and his son will get a mother. Nisha unknowingly accepts because she thinks that she is going to marry Prem.

PROMOTIONAL MARKETING

Promotional marketing can be defined as a business marketing strategy which entices a  potential customer to buy your product or service.

Promotional marketing is also a balanced combination of strategic activities, giveaways, presentation, and the right timing. The overall goal of promotional marketing is to increase your company's awareness in the marketplace. Promotional Marketing may include branded gifts that tend to increase response rates and the overall effectiveness of your marketing campaign.

Promotional marketing can also be used to describe the various means of communicating with current and prospective customers. It is a key element of the marketing mix which is designed to raise awareness about a company, its products or services and, ultimately, to increase its sales.

The main goal of promotional marketing is to inform, persuade, and influence the customers.  Hopefully, by delivering the right kind of information in a persuasive manner, the customer will make a decision to buy.

However, before being able to arrive at the correct promotional marketing mix, agreement has to be reached as to the message and the audience. It is then possible to select the most cost-effective media to convey that particular message. Generally, a range of promotional methods are used, however, in order to maximize production,  it is essential that your promotional strategies form part of an integrated campaign.

Without integrating your marketing strategies, there is a risk that the consumer will become confused by mixed messages. If all the individual elements are made to work in harmony within a well constructed strategy, a synergistic benefit can be achieved with the total effect far outweighing the sum of the various individual ones.

One of the major elements of successful promotional marketing is the use of promotional products. These promotional products have been proven to be highly effective as a stand-alone advertising medium. Yet, significantly better results are achieved when they are used in conjunction with above-the-line advertising media such as television and print.

Choosing a promotional marketing agency can involve a lot of time and effort.  Make sure you are organized, so you may have a better chance of making your search successful. You should make sure that you have a preliminary list of what you are looking for, a location idea, and that you know your product's weaknesses and strengths.   Once you have these things in order, you will be able to find the promotional marketing agency that is right for you and your company.

POSTCARD PRINTING SERVICES

A good postcard print company is known for the printing services it offers, all of which should only be of the highest possible quality. A postcard printing company is expected to deliver a wide array of print products.

Nowadays, postcards are the ideal vehicle for marketing a business.  Individual entrepreneurs, multi-national corporations, small businesses and self-employed professionals use postcard printing as an effective marketing vehicle for achieving immediate results.

The Color

The color should attract the customer?s attention in an instant and also be aligned with your logo. Discuss and decide the colors with the postcard printing services provider before the design is finalized.  The colors on a postcard can affect people?s interpretation of the message you?re trying to get across.  When choosing a color scheme, you should ask yourself some questions before finalizing your choices:

?   Who is in your target market? Is it predominantly a male or female? What age groups do they fall under?

?  What is the ?in? thing or the latest trend while the event is running?

?  What is your promotion all about?

?  What other celebrations coincide with your promo?

The Design

The design is the most important aspect of postcard printing. Make sure that the design of your postcard is done by a professional. However, if you can?t afford a professional you can find a postcard printing services provider that offers free templates and designs for its customers.

The Message

You may have already used the same message in the course of your promotions. However, the same message can be delivered in different variations. Follow these steps:

?  Alter your tone depending on your customer. Your message can be written in an upbeat manner, or with humor. It can be plain and simple, depending upon the targeted segment.

?  If you have a tag line that people already associate with your company and products, stick to it. However, you can experiment with other tag lines until you find something that will stick to your brand.

The player has a width of 3.26 inches, a height of 2.16 inches and is 0.44 inches thick - making it the slimmest ZEN player and the second slimmest Creative player (other than the MuVo Slim) so far. Because of its dimensions, the ZEN is advertised to be the "size of a credit card". This is the first Creative player to have a SD card slot (enabling the support of SD and SDHC cards - an optional adapter is needed for microSD and miniSD cards), support for DRM free AAC (in a ".m4a" extension), as well as a truecolor TFT LCD display.

The prior version, 1.20.02, was released on December 19, 2007. Transferring content via the SD card slot is enabled, though only image files are viewable.
Firmware version 1.21.01 was released on February 28, 2008. It improves the player's playback performance of WMA (.wma) files.

(Redirected from Elementals in fiction)
It has been suggested that Classical elements in popular culture be merged into this article or section. (Discuss)
Elements, a common theme in fiction particularly fantasy are properties of various objects, living things, and the environment. Founded upon philosophical concepts in the Greek, Chinese, and Japanese traditions amongst others, elements are often expanded in fiction to include more than the traditional four or five properties associated with antiquity.
Elements appear in a wide variety of media, including novels, film, television, comic books, table-top role-playing and video games. In music, there are also a number of concept albums featuring elemental themes.
Classical
Nearly all conceptualizations of the elements include fire, water, earth, and air, in addition to a fifth element, which varies by tradition. In fiction, as in philosophy, the elements are also affiliated with more abstract concepts such as personality and temperament.
Fire
Fire is most commonly depicted as a destructive element and wielded by characters with an aggressive disposition. Environments with an affinity to fire tend to be hostile and dangerous. Fire is invariably opposed by water.
Water
Water is often depicted as a restorative element, due to its real-life importance in sustaining life. Characters with an affinity to water are often peaceful, although many have shown a propensity for violence when provoked. Water environments tend to be serene and abundant with life. Water is opposed by fire.
Earth
Earth is depicted as an element of stability, and is often wielded by characters who are physically strong or imposing. Characters aligned with this element can have tendencies toward either passive or aggressive behavior. Earth is naturally opposed to air.
Air
Air (also referred to as wind) is depicted as an element of freedom and caprice, and is often wielded by carefree or whimsical characters. Characters aligned with this element tend to emphasize speed over strength. Where environments have an affinity to air tend to be at high elevations or actually suspended in the air. Air exists in opposition to earth.
Aether/Fifth Element
The fifth element - often called "Aether" or "Ether" - tends to be more abstract than the other four elements in that it has no clear physical manifestation. It can be depicted simply as pure energy with no properties, or as the power underlying the other four elements. Where characters in fiction wield the fifth element, they most often play a significant role in the plot, if they are not the main character.
Non-Classical
Creators of fiction have developed the elements concept in many ways, some going as far as to disavow the classical elements and replace them with an entirely new array, while others have used the classical as a foundation and expanded upon it. The following are non-classical elements that have appeared in various media. As this list can quickly become exhaustive, the entries below are limited to elements that have appeared in at least several works of fiction.
Ice
Most often a derivation of water, ice is sometimes treated as its own element. Characters aligned with ice are more likely to bear a cruel disposition, and exhibit more aggressive behaviors. Environments with an affinity to ice also tend to be more hostile and treacherous to navigate, not unlike icy environments in the real world.
Light/Holy
Light in fiction is depicted as the element of goodness or truth, such that is often coterminous with "Holy", as in the Final Fantasy series of video games. Light/Holy can have either restorative or destructive tendencies, most often a threat to those aligned with "evil" or "darkness". It is also commonly associated with life and the living. Characters with an affinity to light are often portrayed as physically appealing and/or non-threatening, and are looked upon with favor by the rest of the world.
Shadow/Darkness
Shadow or Darkness as an element in fiction tends to be associated with the forces of evil, or at least with those maligned by most of the world. It is also commonly associated with death and the dead (or undead). Characters with an affinity to shadow or darkness are often physically unappealing or intimidating, all the more reason for them to...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about decorative ceiling light, robo scan light, .
