[Typo3-marketing] Another marketing paper

[Sabina Loicht]

hi friends,
this is a really short mail (compared to all your input before) and quite a 
"female" one ;-)
1.      thanx to Sander, who started (with his paper) this discussion - in 
my opinion, it's one of the most vivid and fruitful ones on this list (!)
2.      thanx to all all of you, who actively participate in this topic!

>So all list-attendies might share, praticipate in and leverage the 
>collective TYPO3 mkgt-knowledge AND practical experience. (which, of 
>course also requires that all the list-lurkers should wake up and move 
>their butts towards action;).
>Could we agree upon such a practice & Could YOU (YEP - YOU, the reader aka 
>.."man in the mirror") please be the first to follow up on my previously 
>sent short list, with your experiences & tips on WORKING and NOT-WORKING 
>Marketing-Exercises ?

okok, mr. colleague, first offer from Austria:
the TUGA-marketing team will compose a collection of successful and 
unsuccessful marketing tools and channels used in AT and supply to this 
list by end of june/beginning of july 05.

>Up until now, AFAIR, there have been less than a hand full of postings 
>doing the above, that is sharing knowledge ...
>regards georg, reflecting the current's discussion feedback and being 
>dissapointed by the low response rate;

guess, that's just a reflection of reality.
but, to be honest: I really wonder, why we don't read ANY statement from:
a.      Denmark - the place of birth of that wonderful tool
b.      UK - where we shurele have the advantage of same languge (like US) 
combined with European spirit
c.      France - don't we have big customers like Dassault out there?
d.      Germany - more input than Daniel's since its definitively the 
biggest TYPO3 market
e.      Spain - what about the big South American market ready for OS?
f.      Italy - where we can find a lot of TYPO3-sites online....

3 possible reasons:
1.      people are not subscribed to that list --> then we have to make it 
easier to find us! :-)
2.      professional marketeers and enterpreneurs are not working for free 
or don't see their benefit
3.      the out-there's still expect others - us or mainly the Association 
- to deliver ready-to-go strategies, tools, materials,....

so far from that planet,
sabina
