Time Value of Information calculator The Time Value of Information formula was included in Wireless Computing Primer and also Leading Edge Marketing, both by Veronica Williams. Many clients found this as valuable as the Time Value of Money formulas (i.e. Internal Rate of Return, etc.). This calculator helps create the statistic by responding to questions and inputting information.
Ad Placement Evaluator You answer questions about your target market, the media and other places you are considering placing ads, your budget and the number of years you have to generate a return. This tool will give general guidelines on where ads may be placed and for how long
Customer Relationship Management, Email Marketing and SEO combos The cottage industries of CRM, Email marketing, CEO and other software is beginning to consolidate. To achieve a baseline level of functionality, multiple products must be used. To avoid being locked in, or a huge migration cost in a few years, you should choose wisely now. We will apply our 25 years of using CRM and mailing tools to highlight & recommend the combinations of products to consider.
