Online Magazine Subscription Services Make Shopping Online Fun For Magazines
If recreating the old experience of subscribing to magazines by filling out a subscription card is essential to the success as an Internet retailer, then MagMall.com takes top awards. The retailer has created a web site with all the ease of use of the original pop out cards through fast loading graphics, and an intuitively designed layout that is both easy to follow and navigate. "Visitors to the magazine subscription site get the feeling that subscribing online is just as easy as subscribing through the mail, but with added benefits," says Fariman Dejouli, head of graphics design for Mountain Network Systems LLC. "It is a well laid out site for finding magazines and filling out subscription forms." A recent addition to their arsenal of web-based tools is the ability for shoppers to search for magazines by price range, first letter, category or even description. Shoppers can use their advanced searching feature to combine different search parameters. Of course, the fastest way to find magazines is to just type in a title in their search box or to click a fast category link in their fundamentally simple left navigation system. The web site enhancements were developed in conjunction with Mountain-net.com, which offers one of the original ecommerce shopping cart platforms called Webcart. The inclusion of the new web site searching tools is part of a multi-pronged strategy by MagMall to cater to consumers who want to subscribe to all their magazines from one place. "MagMall does a much better job than its competitors when it comes to evolving its web site,", Dejouli says. "From a purely ecommerce transaction standpoint their site works extremely well."

Postcards: Awareness Tool or Selling Tool?
Are postcards better for building awareness or for selling?In my opinion, the answer to the above question is, "They can do both jobs. It depends on what type of business you're in."My own perspective is that of the Web and graphic designer who must distinguish herself from the hordes of other designers out there. I do this by keeping my name in front of my clients and prospects with postcards. Over the years, this approach has brought me quite a bit of repeat business from my longtime clientele, and new business from the prospects on my list.Since many businesses do nothing to stay in touch with their market, and spend their precious time and resources chasing after new customers, I think that the awareness approach has merit. After all, it costs six times less to sell to an existing customer than it does to sell to a new customer. This has been proven through numerous studies.Now, let's move on to the selling approach. Let's say you're new in town, and, by golly, you need some clients pronto-pronto. Which means that you're not going to send out postcards to build awareness. Rather, you're going to send something that gets new clients ringing your phone and setting up appointments where you sell your design services.In short, different strokes for different folks. And postcards are versatile enough to serve 'em all.

Data Map Charting for Mobile Businesses
As we study the demographic regional variations for small service businesses we see many things. Let us take a mobile auto detailing business and break down the data and look at what drives sales and growth. We must search for areas with similar demographics in any new territory whether we are putting in one unit of one single unit owner operator or many units to blanket a region. Proper data mapping helps and if done right it eliminates risks and saves lots of time, not to mention hard earned marketing dollars. We are talking about very specific demographic when we break down our needs for particular mobile business and then into a micro sector of the larger automotive aftermarket services industry such as mobile auto detailing.
