The myth is: Mass marketing eliminates (or replaces) the need for personal, one-on-one sales. 40@http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/ Marketing Pillars 2004-06-14T12:02:56+00:00 Constant Change http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/archive/000039.html Change is the only real constant. 39@http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/ Marketing Pillars 2004-06-14T12:00:52+00:00 Unique Pre-Dispositions http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/archive/000038.html Every company is unique.

Real profits are made through client retention and constant sales to an already attained client. 36@http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/ Marketing Pillars 2004-06-14T11:57:49+00:00 Planning and Execution http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/archive/000035.html In order for marketing to work, all marketing activities, procedures and policies must be carefully put in writing, precisely defining each marketing aspect.

It seems John has had enough of our little battle and to tell you the truth, in a way, I've had enough as well ... just probably not in a manner you would expect. But more on that in the next article ... 55@http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/ The Death of e-Mail Marketing 2003-10-27T12:55:55+00:00 The Death of eMail Debate: My Final Comments http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/archive/000054.html Rather than continue the exchange ad infinitum, I am going to make some final comments to summarize my own views on this discussion and then move on to other topics. Rok and I could continue this discussion from now to the Second Coming and neither of us will convert the other because of some fundamental differences I will explain below. 54@http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/ The Death of e-Mail Marketing 2003-10-27T12:53:52+00:00 RSS and E-mail: The Truth Shall Set You Free http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/archive/000052.html The point is that every other option for easy communication falls short in many areas, still keeping e-mail on top. Whether RSS will replace e-mail as the preferred content delivery tool is yet to be seen, but it cannot and will not replace e-mail communications. Believing that it will is not only naive, but goes against all logic. 52@http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/ The Death of e-Mail Marketing 2003-10-21T12:49:52+00:00 The Future of RSS - Is E-Mail Publishing Dead? http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/archive/000053.html RSS is good because it gives back to individual users the power to choose and select content. This, along with timeliness, portability and cost-effectiveness, are probably the best reasons why you should understand how and why RSS is going to change the way you select and receive your information, news and updates. 53@http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/ The Death of e-Mail Marketing 2003-10-20T12:51:56+00:00 RSS for the Real World ... And Then Again Maybe Not http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/archive/000051.html John Botscharow returns to the e-mail debate today, responding to some of my comments and to Dana's article and goes head-on with us on our statements. 51@http://www.marketingstudies.net/blogs/database/ The Death of e-Mail Marketing 2003-10-20T12:47:34+00:00
