As visitors move through your site and enter the shopping cart area, they become increasingly valuable to you. But too often marketers take for granted visitors who have already clicked an “Order Now,” “Purchase” or “Sign Up” button and assume that they are now safely on their way to converting. In fact, the Razorfish Site Optimization team typically sees almost 60 percent of these customers dropping out of the process. Chances are, your site loses ...

Recently, both me and Frank both had problems burning CD drives in our Macbook Pro machines, while this had worked before, with the same media. Each and every burn program would end up with an error saying The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media. I ignored it a couple of times, and asked another person at the office to burn the media for me. Solved. This evening, I had to ...

In keeping with his campaign's unprecedented use of technology, Barack Obama will give weekly addresses to the American people through online videos on YouTube and his transition site, Change.gov. Other key members of his staff will post videos as well; transition team co-chair Valerie Jarrett, for instance, posted a video about Obama's lobbying restrictions to the site. It's an encouraging sign to see online video featured prominently in Obama's new governance, as it is becoming ...

While most copywriters have avidly studied Claude Hopkins’ Scientific Advertising, very few have even heard of Theodore MacManus, let alone read his book, The Sword Arm of Business. And yet MacManus was, in some ways, a more successful ad man, having: Established his own (very successful) ad agency Launched the Dodge and Chrysler brands Hired and mentored Leo Burnett, creator of the Marlboro Man, Tony the Tiger, Pillsbury Doughboy, and many other advertising icons that ...

Consumers are going to be very selective in who they do business with from now on. Pop-up ads and obnoxious displays ads will be replaced with content, videos and other forms of technology yet invented that will educate the consumer instead of tricking them into looking at something that is worthless.

It’s clear that with the looming slowdown in the US advertising markets, Facebook is ratcheting up its efforts to grow its direct-to-consumer virtual gifts business. While many different kinds of digital goods businesses have been big in the east for years, Facebook is hoping to bring virtual gifting to mainstream western markets in a big way for the first time. Current estimates put Facebook’s expected 2008 virtual gifts revenues somewhere between $50-$70 million, or about ...

With half the state yet again in flames, I find myself of two minds with respect to the residents of California. One the one hand, my heart aches or this latest crop of Californians to lose their homes in this month's out-of-control brush fires. On the other hand, it amazes me that, despite seeing these same fires every few months, so many Americans continue to cling to the fantasy that California is a 'green' state. ...

So, I’ve now provided some insight on some of the basic insights we can gain about community members within our communities of practice program and also the kinds of demographics we can look at. In this post, I’ll go into how we have used some of the activity data we collect from mailing lists. In my mind, this is more valuable than the basic membership data because it represents someone looking for or sharing knowledge ...

This post is less focused on numbers and more focused on a particular use of this data in a more strategic manner.
