         <description><![CDATA[Think of a shop where you are LEAST likely to part with your hard-earned cash. Located in a place you can only get to by car. Then find the car park is full. The store is laid out in such a way that you have to zig-zag through the entire floor to find what you want. Admitting that the layout is confusing, there'll be signs that say "Find your way" and maps that only add to your confusion. All the items will be in a language that has no resemblance to any other language on earth. Add hoards of...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[So much has been said about Google, that it hardly needs me to add my tuppence-ha’penny worth.  But ask any expert in SEO and he/she will tell you that the optimum position in the sponsored link section is about 3rd.  Why? Because the click through rates rapidly tail off below the top three.
If you’ve got an unlimited budget, then fine. But it includes large volumes of people who are less than serious about your product or service.  So that’s a waste. Also a number of companies can be bidding...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
Huddle is a UK-based collaboration tool that has been around for a while but has recently upgraded its free package to include 3 huddles (or workspaces), unlimited users and 1GB of space to store your files.
Huddle does not have the richest functionality of the collaboration services - see www.centraldesktop.com - but has a simple, clean interface and with its new free package will appeal to a lot of people and businesses wanting to try this type of tool.
The main features of Huddle include:

         <title>Internet = cheap?</title>
         <link>http://mezzo.webnode.com/news/internet-cheap/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[I said in a previous blog that I chose O2 as my new broadband provider primarily for reasons of price, but became an advocate based on experience. I think this is a fairly typical behaviour pattern for many internet customers. We shop online because:

    It's convenient 
    We can find suppliers      that we wouldn't have found any other way.
    Some of these      suppliers will have used the cost efficiencies of the internet to reduce      their price

         <description><![CDATA[I recently changed my home broadband to O2.&#160; The online customer experience was practically sublime.&#160; I was expecting to pay the price for switching from trusty old friend BT, to a cheap-and-cheerful Jonny-come-lately, but far from it.
The process was smooth and well-thought-out, and the communication was near perfect in timeliness, relevance and tone.
Here's an example., the order confirmation email:

Dear Adrian Kingwell 

Thank you for your order for O2 Broadband. Here's  what you...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[After seeing some particularly poor copy writing at one of my clients, I asked the head of digital marketing politely if I could pitch for his copywriting business.&#160; "No", came the reply, "Design and copy should be done together by our creative agency."
Of course he was right, and yet he was so wrong.
His creative agency was not designing and copy writing as part of a unified process. Each task was done independently and the results were somehow mashed together to produce poorly worded,...]]></description>

It's not the only service in this space - we use Timebridge which integrates very well with Outlook and has an excellent interface.
Or you can just phone around....]]></description>

         <title>Customer loyalty? No such thing</title>
         <link>http://mezzo.webnode.com/news/please-sir-can-i-have-some-more/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[I saw this article by Don Frischmann 	 	 	   				in Advertising Age telling "marketers to do more to lock in customer loyalty", and it struck me that "loyal" customers are actually "LAZY" (or possibly just lacking a little motivation). Locking in loyalty is like putting handcuffs on a koala.
Let me explain...
"Loyalty" suggests there is a force that bonds the two parties together based on survival. A Rottweiler is loyal to its master because he doesn't know how to open a can of dog food and he...]]></description>

We're currently using Centraldesktop within our business and with our clients because it ticks a lot of boxes:

         <description><![CDATA[Our new website was launched today.
Mezzo Marketing has moved on a lot since the original website was built. Although we will still be focused on running digital marketing projects for our customers, we've seen demand take off for our copy writing services and for improving online customer experience.
We also thought we should eat our own dogfood and get a website that was a bit more Web 2.0 than what we had before. We've used the out-of-the-box tools from Webnode to put it together and it...]]></description>
