Welcome to the 11 January, 2009 edition of the Get International Clients Sunday Blog Carnival.


Market Research

Logicbowl.com presents Market Research & Trends posted at Logicbowl saying “Market research is a process of guiding for new business decisions. It involves tracking the new information, recording data and information about the customers, competitors.”

OEN Blog presents  Market Research, An Essential Part of a Good Business Plan posted at OEN Blog saying “Market research…sounds thrilling, doesn’t it? It is probablyone of the most time consuming parts of creating a business plan,and also one of the most important. In this series of articles, we will define market research and talk about the various methods used to conduct the studies.Today, we will talk more broadly about market research and start to define it”

Jim Benson presents Twitter is a Sea of Market Research posted at Pistachio saying “Either directly or indirectly, Twitter is loaded with market intelligence for your business. With an estimated 3 million current users who are voraciously talking about what makes them happy and what makes them angry – your products and your market segment are likely being discussed. Let’s take a walk through how this works.”

Soumya presents 10 Creative Tips to Improve Yourself on Twitter posted at Simple Thoughts saying “Twitter, the revolution at micro-blogging, has been popular in various aspects of social networking. While the initial idea was just to connect to people, with time it has remained the same but only the magnitude has become very large scale. Now professionals, personal friend seekers, students and almost every one is attached to twitter for their own reasons. The immense benefit that twitter encompasses has a lot of sides that is not known to every body. Our quest is to give such 10 opportunities to you which you may have never heard of, but actually others have experimented with them and got success.”

Bill Rosenblatt presents Digital Editions Market Research posted at Gilbane Group Blog saying “I had an interesting exchange with John Suhler, founding partner and president of Veronis Suhler Stevenson, and one of the deans of media industry private equity. Suhler had just given a talk in which I was glad to hear him excoriate publishers for the lack of attention they pay to technology and digital media as part of their strategies.”

B2B presents Keep It Short, Keep It Focussed posted at B2B International saying “The market research industry and its clients love surveys.  There is nothing wrong in this – intelligence is at the root of all good marketing.  However, as market researchers, we sometimes feel a little guilty about the 20 minute customer satisfaction survey interview which has become the norm in customer satisfaction surveys now-a-days.  Do we really need to explore the importance and satisfaction of myriad issues?”

PluggedIN presents The continuum from online focus group to “true” online community posted at PluggedIN saying “we had the opportunity to talk with a large financial services company interested in setting up a private research community with a targeted audience of customers.  As we talked about their goals in setting up an ongoing research community, a member of the company’s research team asked us where an online research community fits in the “continuum between an online focus group and a ‘true’ online community.”

Other Business

Kelly Sonora presents Top 100 Blogs For Small-Business Cost Cutting Inspiration posted at Web Design Schools Guide saying “In this economy, everyone’s looking for ways to cut down, and small businesses are no exception.

Thankfully, there are some pretty amazing resources to help you figure out new ways to do just that. Check out what we consider to be the top 100 blogs for resources and inspiration to cutting your small business costs in 2009″

Jim presents Best Personal Finance Books for Your Library posted at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity saying “None of these books are new, they’ve been around for years and they’ve been considered by many to be the best personal finance books out there. The topics they cover will vary and their approaches will be sometimes very different, but each has value and as a student of personal finance they all have something to offer to a reader. Many of these books will sound familiar and I challenge you to make an argument that one of these books shouldn’t be on a list like this.”

MLM as a Business

Darryl Kimball presents My MLM Experience Part II- Working The Business posted at Just Give Me a Home Based Business That Makes Money, saying, “So I begin to study and work my new Amway business. I am excited about the prospect of building a large successful business, but my new venture is not without some personal doubts.”
