Content Consumers Want

Content Strategies Will Differ By Target Audience

This is the first document in the "Branded Content" series.

by Lisa Bradner

with Jaap Favier, Evadne Cokeh

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As the economy continues to slide into recession, advertisers are curbing spend in all channels, including online: Publishers like AOL, Yahoo!, and the New York Times Company reported a decrease in online advertising revenues in Q4 2008, although year-on-year growth still appears strong. Whether softness in online advertising is a temporary or longer-term trend is up for debate, but even the specter of slowing growth in online advertising forces publishers to look again at paid content models. Forrester forecasts that US online consumers will spend $7.6 billion on online content in 2009, with two categories — video games and music — accounting for more than half of that spend. In most categories, only a small percentage of consumers are doing the spending. To reach consumers who are willing to pay for content, publishers need to understand the distinctions in demographics and attitudes of buyers in each category. Consumers who pay for online video, for example, fit a typical young, male, early-adopter profile, while those who pay to access services like Angie's List and Zagats.com are slightly older and less enthusiastic about technology.

Best Practices: The Smart Way To Implement CRM SaaS Solutions

by William Band, Pete Marston

with Liz Herbert, Sharyn Leaver, Mary Ann Rogan

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

CRM software-as-a service (SaaS) solutions have moved beyond their previous status as a specialized deployment option and into the mainstream. According to Forrester's Enterprise and SMB Software Survey, North America and Europe, Q3 2007, more than a third of IT software decision-makers in North America and Europe tell us that they are already using, or are interested in using or piloting, SaaS applications to support their customer-facing business processes. But CRM professionals worry about the true total cost of ownership (TCO) for SaaS, feel challenged by integration and customization issues, have qualms about data security, and find SaaS pricing models and contracts confusing. To understand the best practices for overcoming these challenges, Forrester interviewed CRM SaaS early-adopter companies and talked with leading CRM SaaS vendors and professional services organizations. Smart companies use five best practice strategies to succeed with CRM SaaS solutions: build a solid business case; negotiate a sound contract; use a proven implementation approach; establish strong data security procedures; and create robust governance and support structures

NOTES & RESOURCES

Forrester interviewed 16 individuals from user, vendor, and professional services organizations. User companies interviewed included: Citizens Financial Group, Equifax, High 5 Sportswear, IAC Search & Media, Polycom, Seagate Technology, Shaklee Corporation, and Symantec.

social networking audience is growing rapidly

The social networking audience is growing rapidly. In 2008, 79.5 million people, or 41% of the US Internet user population, visited social network sites at least once a month, an 11% increase from 2007. By 2013, an estimated 52% of Internet users will be regular social network visitors. The steady stream of updates and news will become a weekly or even daily habit for many people. That stickiness is good news for social networks, which are still struggling to develop workable ad models.

helpful to group assignments - Bubbl.us

SaaS is fascinating. The interests in SMEs sector is growing but the question is how an independent vendor captures this trend and is able to capitalize it. I have not found the way out either but I know it's a way the world goes, the direction that cant be ignore in the following decade.

I want to exposure myself a little bit more in this field, not only in business use but also in personal use. And I believe the trend will not be waived in personal computing soon while the handy tiny computing device - such as ePC, iPhone, and other smart phone device are sneaking to people's pocket and backpacks.

Here is a interesting application that i found in UBC IT division.

It's an introduction for people who are frequently needing a corporation platform.



Bubbl.us
Another website that can be helpful to group assignments is Bubbl.us. This free web application allows you to brainstorm and create mind maps online. With each click of the “bubble,” a new mind map is made. Each new “bubble” can be expanded or customized to your liking. You can choose to create your own mind map from a wide range of colours, and it can be saved in various sites, using embedded code in blogs or websites. And, since this all happens online, you can easily share your mind maps and collaborate with others in a simple, succinct manner.
