Please oh please do not extinguish this distinguished group! We need them!

you guys are all gorgeous...

Garry, you are especially dashing! You are like a mixture of George Clooney, Sean Connery, and Pierce Brosnan.

 

[glitterata]

Yes, Garry should definitely play James Bond.

Leonid,

Thank you, of course!

I have questions and comments:

Questions:

Can you say more about what you mean on slide #7, item 4: DIY & case studies

Comments:

I''d validate your pulling the selections you did from here on slides 23, 32 & 45, readily.
I like your analysis in #49

Question/comment...

Re # 51...I''m not sure how I agree. Maybe you comments regarding #7 will help me understand the nature of interactivity I even want to seek myself, between:

- DIY
- expert consultation
- trusting communication mediating these two?

Once again, many thanks!

 

[Kaleigh]

Great pics!!! If there is a PS family reunion, count me in!!!!

...

Can you say more about what you mean on slide #7, item 4: DIY & case studies

I just wanted to give few examples for different approaches/niches.

When Garry checked the draft he wrote: "Name all advertisers or they will kill you"

I left this slide as is - just had no time to mention everybody.

I was talking about different examples how different approaches to the internet can be successful using Bill Pearlman, Facets, GOG and WF examples. Sort of case studies.

DIY part wasn''t done properly - it would take another lecture. I just talked briefly about slides 47-50

Re # 51...I''m not sure how I agree. Maybe you comments regarding #7 will help me understand the nature of interactivity I even want to seek myself, between:

• 80% of your customers visit the web - This is based on the stats of traffics and sales. Last Rapaport magazine issues cites same or close figures.
• 5% buy online; But this will grow, with or without you
• Price is not the main issue, Trust & mutual respect are - This is based on what we hear here and some other data about the sales
• Stop fearing the web - learn how to use it
• Meet your customer there, find your voice now
• Develop a vision, commit to what you do best & constantly improve
• Remember: Trust = Brand = Added Value

Why would your disagree?

 

[strmrdr]

Remember: Trust = Brand = Added Value


A lot of people shop online because they dont trust brands.
imho branding doesnt work on the net as well as it does in stores or more accurately it works differently.
Branding is more important for impulse buying which as your presentation shows doesnt happen as much on the net.

Remember: Trust = comfort = Added Value
