Bulk email marketing

Many marketers put coupons in magazine and newspapers today. Others place tear-coupons in supermarket and other store displays.

The latest in couponing is Internet placement. The buyer can just print the coupon out and take it to their local store to use.

Please share your knowledge of the following. Interview family & friends to assure you are representing those in your ’sphere of influence’.

Are buyers willing to register at various online sites to get coupons faxed or emailed to them? Why or why not?

What could these websites do to become more user friendly for buyers?

Have buyers become more price-conscious now that websites give so much competitive information about price & coupons for so many products that are readily available? Is that a good thing or not for marketers?

i need help with this.

Machines effectively manage to replace a whole bunch of people and though it increases production marginally it fails to reproduce the human touch. Also as technology advances people begin to take their home comforts for granted and society becomes harsher with the bulk of students opting for the IT channels, leading to unemployment in other fields. Furthermore, the unskilled workers that have been removed from their jobs must be retrained and reemployed. But if the government failed to provide for their training, since in requires a lot of money, time and effort, they will become a burden on the society.
Looking at the glass half-full instead of looking at it half-empty, technology is indeed a huge help to the society today and probably in the future. Replacement of the labor with modern technology has made higher income not only to the companies that use it but also the country’s economy as far as the stock market is concerned.
Moreover, machines or equipment that ended their life span do not need to be retrained or reemployed, but they can be recycled and resold for more profit.
Based on the results, the researchers had proven that using technological advancements may be a serious threat for the employment of the people.
