Pada harga saham AALI Rp 18.000, investor menghargai setiap hektar kebun perusahaan sebesar Rp 107.389 lebih tinggi daripada beberapa emiten perkebunan lainnya.</P><P>Astra Agro Lestari juga memiliki return on equity relatif tinggi, yang menunjukkan kemampuan ekuitas menghasilkan laba, tertinggi dibanding peersnya. Rasio EBITDA dibanding aset memberikan gambaran yang lebih bervariasi dibanding return on equity, karena variasi komponen penyusutan setiap emiten berbeda. Hasil analisis memperlihatkan Astra Agro memiliki biaya depresiasi terendah dibandingkan penjualan.</P><P>Tingginya dua rasio profitabilitas tersebut, memposisikan Astra Agro sebagai emiten yang mempunyai kemampuan baik dalam mengelola aset dan struktur permodalan, sehingga menghasilkan laba lebih besar untuk investornya. Artinya premium dari investor yang tercermin melalui enterprise value merupakan apresiasi atas kinerja keuangan perusahaan yang baik.</P><P>Tahun 2011 perusahaan menargetkan produksi minyak sawit mentah (CPO) melewati atau minimal sama dengan produksi CPO tahun 2010 1,1 juta ton. Risiko yang dihadapi adalah curah hujan yang tidak merata. Apabila kondisi cuaca baik, maka investor dapat mengharapkan tingkat imbal hasil yang sama dengan tahun lalu. </P><P>IFT Kalkulator Saham masih menilai AALI jauh di bawah nilai wajarnya yang di antara Rp 38.034 – 38.451. Nilai yang tinggi ini didorong oleh pertumbuhan pendapatan dari tahun ke tahun dan tingkat utang yang konservatif. Kenaikan nilai wajar secara signifikan di bulan Oktober ini disebabkan oleh turunnya yield obligasi pemerintah akibat penurunan tingkat suku bunga Bank Indonesia. </P><br /><p><a href="http://c.moreover.com/click/here.pl?r5349903513" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>PokerFronthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00461587244996579891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935249920401937585.post-20606086572893195172012-01-10T12:35:00.000-08:002012-01-10T12:35:00.480-08:00Relyco Grows Customer Base in Third Quarter of 2011 by 37 PercentAppId is over the quota<br />AppId is over the quota<br /> <P>Relyco, Dover, N.H., a leading provider of value-added business printing and payment solutions, today announced that the company grew its customer base in the just-completed third quarter by 37 percent compared to the same quarter last year.

Our staff are going to be flat out standing around as customers point phones at their t-shirts.”</P><P>Music fans can also download the Avalanche City single straight to their smartphone via the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards app. In addition the app features highlights from the 2010 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards and finalist profiles.</P>Tags: Mobile, Smudge Apps, Suraiya Phillimore-Smith, VNZMA, Vodafone</P><P>No one has commented yet.

The UK market was valued at around £1bn in 2010, with display ads growing by 27.5%, acting as further evidence of the shift from traditional to digital.</P><P>Previously, the strategy behind display advertising was dominated by direct response goals. However, as technology has evolved it has opened the gates to powerful targeting techniques, helping marketers become more involved with brands. The new era in display advertising encompasses the increased use of data and enables more effective, successful and measureable campaigns - for branding and direct response campaigns alike.<BR>Digital display is now more focused on targeting unique users to deliver value for brands. Every two days, the human race creates as much data as it had done from the dawn of civilisation until 2003. The data that’s being created allows display advertising to be increasingly relevant to those seeing it, making sure that the right audience are exposed to the right ad message. The more targeted an ad is, the more likely it’s going to grab attention and inspire a call to action.</P><P>While data and technology has sparked a revolution in how, when and where display ads are seen, the creative element for what actually goes in to the ad doesn't seem to have kept pace with the development of technology. Or perhaps it’s fairer to say it hasn’t changed enough. <BR>I only hope that in the next year, interactivity and creativity step up to the plate and bring back some much needed creativity – but at the moment it feels like the days when an advert would jump out at you are long gone.</P><P><B>Julia Smith, 'The Voice' & Communications Director, Jemm Media Group Ltd</B></P><br /><p><a href="http://c.moreover.com/click/here.pl?r5349847184" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>PokerFronthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00461587244996579891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935249920401937585.post-44432359729077480822011-12-21T06:42:00.000-08:002011-12-21T06:42:00.202-08:00Express Your PreferenceAppId is over the quota<br />AppId is over the quota<br /> <P><B readability="6">Email marketers need to adopt a new school approach which incorporates all the interactive power channels, says Simon Robinson, Senior Marketing and Alliances Director, Responsys EMEA</P><P></B>As an established, ubiquitous, interactive and inexpensive channel of engagement, email is one of the most popular delivery channels since it can be used to contact customers with relevant information at the optimum moment. To ensure that consumers receive relevant and timely emails, we recommend marketers set-up preference centres and encourage customers to share their interests. Data gleaned from preferences helps marketers to segment consumers according to their past behaviour and implement test and learn strategies that show the content users respond best to and the type of information that will get disengaged customers back into the fold. </P><P>Preference centres also act as a successful way to gain a customer’s permission to contact them with information across other channels. At a time when social media is a buzz word, m-commerce is rapidly evolving and email is one of the most used delivery channels, marketers are adopting a new-school marketing approach that incorporates all the interactive power channels - email, mobile, social and the web. Email can no longer be used in isolation, and must be used as part of a cross-channel marketing approach. Brands are increasingly using email to run 'join' or 'share with your network' campaigns to attract email subscribers to social media pages and share email content. With some subscribers viewing emails on their mobiles, marketers are also recognising the importance of providing mobile-friendly versions of websites and emails to increase the relevance and success of campaigns.</P><P>Marketing to today’s cross-channel consumer demands a more nimble approach and email has become a killer outbound channel for marketers because of its ability to raise brand awareness, increase conversions and drive traffic to other channels in the customer lifecycle. However, for campaigns to be truly successful, email must remain at the heart of a holistic marketing strategy to drive engagement with the brand.<BR></P><br /><p><a href="http://c.moreover.com/click/here.pl?r5349847193" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>PokerFronthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00461587244996579891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935249920401937585.post-27585619874759041012011-12-19T10:02:00.000-08:002011-12-19T10:02:00.590-08:00EUR/USD Lifts On EU Bailout NewsAppId is over the quota<br />AppId is over the quota<br /><br /><p><a href="http://c.moreover.com/click/here.pl?r5349824013" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>PokerFronthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00461587244996579891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935249920401937585.post-27026968158457017062011-12-17T23:14:00.000-08:002011-12-17T23:14:00.382-08:00If you could only choose seven women to save, who would they be?AppId is over the quota<br />AppId is over the quota<br /> <BODY readability="0">CREATIVE</P>October 19th, 2011 by Cath Winks</P><P>That is the question asked by Colenso BBDO’s compelling Save Seven campaign for NZ Breast Cancer Foundation.</P><IMG alt="YouTube Preview Image" src="/0.jpg"> <P>As well as creating a powerful cinema spot and TVC featuring seven very different women speaking candidly about their experiences fighting breast cancer, the real mission of the project is getting New Zealanders to choose the seven friends or family members they would save. They can choose to share the powerful vignette’s with them, by email or social media, and so increase the chances of them getting a check up. And check ups save lives. It’s a simple, hard hitting and very very effective campaign, judging by the thousands of views it’s had on Youtube, and the comments left behind.</P><P>Behind each of the seven woman’s dialogue is a short film made by a different director. They didn’t pick seven because it’s such a lucky number, but because seven women are diagnosed with breast cancer in New Zealand every day. The film is dedicated to the seven women who have shared their stories to make other women breast aware. Their message is to urge women that if they feel a change, to get it checked, because early detection is vital to survive this disease. So what are you waiting for?

TVNZ’s youth channel U claimed to offer New Zealand’s first technology-based integration of social media into TV with its U Live Facebook application and, as part of its Rugby World Cup ‘One Love’ campaign, TVNZ is tapping into the ‘second screening’ trend once again with Grandstand, “a pioneering web-based chat-room” built by Tequila\. </P><P><IMG alt="YouTube Preview Image" src="/0.jpg">TVNZ research suggests over half of all viewers surf the web while watching TV, and nearly 30 percent of viewers frequently use social networking because of the connected community experience it provides. In the UK, it’s slightly higher, with a study commissioned by Intel that surveyed over 7,000 people in August 2010 finding that 45 percent used sites such as Twitter, Facebook and MSN to discuss a television programme while it was still being aired. The yoof are even more likely to discuss programmes online, with another UK study showing 80 percent of those under 25 communicated with friends when watching television, 72 percent posted comments on the shows currently commanding their attention using Twitter and 56 percent posted on Facebook.</P><P>While Grandstand, which aims to “bring fans together during every live match broadcast, no matter where they are or how they watch games”, doesn’t seem particularly pioneering in the sense that Twitter already does a similar job of categorising content with the use of hashtags, Tequila\’s creative director Ross Howard says it is arguably the first web-based application in the country to feature tailored versions for three different device types (computers and notebooks, iPad and mobiles such as iPhone and Android). And, by drawing upon and including conversations from various social networks, any user can join in and post through Grandstand to their own social media accounts.</P><P>“It’s been really satisfying for me to work with TVNZ again and continue the relationship we established through our joint development of the TVNZ OnDemand offer for the PS3,” says Howard. “Both Tequila\ and TVNZ agree digital is an increasingly important space for their commercial clients.”</P><P>“TVNZ is committed to connecting New Zealanders with compelling content that can be accessed through any screen so it’s been exciting to work with Tequila\ in delivering an entirely new digital platform to make that even more of a reality and supplement our traditional television offering,” says Tom Cotter, TVNZ’s general manager of of digital media.</P><P>On the analog side of things, Maori TV is sitting pretty in the RWC broadcasting cluster ruck, with the biggest cumulative audience of the free-to-air broadcasters.</P><P>Credits:</EM></P><P>Tequila\</P><P>Geoff Deevereux, Managing Director</P><P>Ross Howard – Creative Director</P><P>Sarah Crosswell – Executive Producer</P><P>Henson Tan – Senior Producer</P><P>Anil Reddy – Senior Designer</P><P>Ee Venn Soh – Designer</P><P>Simon Betton – Front-end Developer</P><P>Patrick Li – Developer</P><P>TVNZ:</P><P>Tom Cotter – General Manager, Digital Media</P><P>Sarah Pritchett, Digital Media Product Manager</P><P>ENDS</P>Tags: Grandstand, Ross Howard, Social media, Tequila, TVNZ</P><br /><p><a href="http://c.moreover.com/click/here.pl?r5349797610" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>PokerFronthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00461587244996579891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935249920401937585.post-34133055625428413972011-12-14T04:04:00.000-08:002011-12-14T04:04:01.443-08:00US losses its biggest allyAppId is over the quota<br />AppId is over the quota<br /><br /><p><a href="http://c.moreover.com/click/here.pl?r5349823991" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>PokerFronthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00461587244996579891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935249920401937585.post-89424271240870970982011-12-12T17:44:00.000-08:002011-12-12T17:44:00.885-08:00BVR's Business Valuation & Bankruptcy Compendium: Case Law & AnalysisAppId is over the quota<br />AppId is over the quota<br /> <BODY readability="0">US: 800.298.5699 Int'l: +1.240.747.3093 Receive email alerts of new market research reports in your industry.

Facebook advertising is still remarkably good value and is emerging as a serious contender to other performance marketing channels. Its use by brands is almost doubling each year (Efficient Frontier's quarterly analysis into the state and costs of digital marketing show that Facebook ads cost 22 per cent more in Q2 of 2011 than they did in Q1, and over the year, Facebook advertising is set to increase by a massive 80 per cent). <BR><B><BR></B>Of course, it’s still a small percentage of other marketing channels: currently brands advertising on Facebook spend about five per cent of what they spend on search campaigns. Yet Facebook offers great targeting, and measurement based on hard financial metrics that brands want in a time of tightened marketing budgets. <B readability="4"></P><P>Surfing the channels</P><P></B>Working out the return on investment from social marketing isn’t just done by comparing it to other channels (most notably search). It’s done by assessing what combination of channels will give the best return. And not always just online. <B readability="4"></P><P></B>Marketing channels have a significant impact on each other. Efficient Frontier's research earlier this year showed that a TV campaign can result in an uplift on both site traffic and searches (up to 80 per cent in some cases). Online campaigns can drive offline sales (figures from Yahoo! indicate that this could reach 63 per cent). If a consumer researches the purchase of a new car online, they’re more likely to buy it from a car showroom, and will want to see the same prices as they saw shown on the car brand’s website. <B readability="5"></P><P></B>Inconveniently, consumers channel hop. They’ll access the same website from three or four different devices, search on a mobile for a store they plan to visit on the high street, research a new phone by asking networks of friends on Facebook. It’s becoming harder and harder to divide up marketing departments (and budgets) into neat silos and compare results in order to plan and assign next year’s budget. <B readability="7"></P><P></B>Social influence impacts the performance of marketing campaigns. Our searches are not limited to Google, but extend to our social networks (including a brand’s own pages within these networks). That means that as marketers, we have to respond with much more agility than traditionally we’ve been able to do. We have to react quickly to consumer response on social campaigns and redirect budgets accordingly. The days of ‘this is my TV spend for the year, and this is my social spend’ may be over, replaced by ‘this is my marketing spend, and I’ll re-allocate it according to how it performs through the year’. <BR><B readability="13"><BR>Tracking the journey</P><P></B>That agility will need to span different channels. Understanding the journey a customer takes before they buy your product or service lets you put marketing budget where it’s most effective, rather than just at the last point before a consumer clicks through to your website. Traditionally, search and display have always been judged on the performance of this last click. But what happens when you factor-in direct brand engagement on Facebook? Or the result of a consumer asking their friends within a social network? The customer journey might start with a generic (non-brand specific) search, then move through a social network, be influenced by a TV ad, put aside for a few days and ended with a branded search that leads to a sale - possibly over the phone. <B><BR></B><BR>What campaign would that phone call be attributed to? Would a marketer know that that person is a brand fan on Facebook and has been interacting with the brand over multiple channels? To assign marketing budget effectively, you need to know which keyword, ad or channel had the most influence in directing the consumer towards your site. It’s likely to be more than one. <BR><B><BR></B>Between them, social media and search give marketers a gift: an almost-complete view of the customer, from what they’re looking for online through to how they respond to brands, either through straightforward advertising clicks or through engagement in social media campaigns. We can see what they like and want, and what they reject. We’ve always known which products and services sell and which don’t - but now we can see why. <BR><B readability="17"><BR>Scaling up</P><P></B>Human engagement and analysis is, of course, an incredibly important part of social marketing. But it is only by using technology to support it that it is possible to segment and target audiences effectively on social channels and use the insight that can be garnered from social campaigns to inform future spend as the campaign develops, not after it’s all over. <BR><B><BR></B>It is following the same pattern as search. Searching is a human activity and brands have to respond with relevant results; technology has developed to assist brands in managing their responses and optimising their campaigns. In the same way, technology has developed to support social campaigns, to segment customers and show them only what they want to see from the brand, and to optimise social engagement over Facebook, Twitter, etc. Using this technology on social media (and Facebook specifically at the moment) has the potential to amplify a brand’s message through the social influence of each of that brand’s fans, through their network of trusted contacts, on a scale we could hardly imagine a few years ago.<BR><B><BR></B>Since the early days of paid search, it’s been possible to only pay for advertising that works (measured by clicks on the ad). Now, technology can be used to divert budget instantly towards the highest performing channel, campaign or target audience group (and away from the lowest-performing), across different channels. Automating the bidding process so that you pay the lowest possible amount for the best result whatever the channel means that spend can be adjusted constantly to give the highest possible ROI. Predictive modelling techniques let budget be set based on predicting ROI (with up to 95 per cent accuracy), so you can set an accurate budget and know in advance what the return is likely to be. <BR>That makes looking at performance marketing in the round - not just in silos of search and social media - a very attractive option. <B readability="4"></P><P>Jonathan Beeston, Head of Global Marketing, Efficient Frontier <BR>www.efrontier.com<BR></B></P><br /><p><a href="http://c.moreover.com/click/here.pl?r5349847145" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>PokerFronthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00461587244996579891noreply@blogger.com0
