The book has a very simple premise – in an age of decentralised discovery, the best marketing strategy is to create relevant content that allows your customers to find you when they are looking for insights and information. … I can see at a glance my monthly revenue from Freshbooks, my web traffic and visitor activity from Google Analytics, a feed of the deals I have waiting to close from Highrise, the performance of my last email newsletter from Mailchimp, my current total Facebook and Twitter followers and a host of other essential metrics.
As compared to a Sino-Foreign Joint Venture, a WFOE enables a company to implement its worldwide strategies without having to consider the wishes of a Chinese partner, and with only direct employees involved, a WFOE makes it easier for a company to protect its intellectual property and technology. … Conclusion Despite the fact that China has amassed approximately $2.8 trillion of foreign currency reserves, and despite the stories you may be hearing about China no longer welcoming foreign direct investment (FDI), China remains very interested in receiving your investment — whether in a WFOE or an EJV.
Jack Perkowski (Mr China) shares his views on how to stake out your market position in China:
As China becomes the largest market in the world for one product after another, companies with products, technologies and services needed by the country’s rapidly-developing economy are all trying to do the same thing — establish a position in the Chinese marketplace. … The principal disadvantages are that it may be challenging to control the quality of the end product, and contract manufacturing involves some level of know-how and technology transfer under circumstances where the company can expect to have little control over its intellectual property.
Internet Banking is no longer just ‘secure’ transactions The problem with these two separate views of the world, is that it no longer makes sense for the customer. 90% of daily traffic to most bank website goes to the login button, so conceivably your most attractive targets (i.e. existing customers) are ignoring all of the marketing spend on nice sales messages, flashy graphics and landing pages, and they’re going straight through to the tasks they want to complete behind the login. … The fact is, based on these analytics, you probably need to be spending at least 90 per cent of your Web marketing budget on building offers and campaigns for existing customers through the Internet banking secure portal, but the IT guys don’t get any of that.
