:You were a bit short on alternative solutions, Wygk. Do you think it would be better if I called people FIRST, then used a letter as a follow-up? Better to get a more famous "spokesperson" than myself? Better to give a "case study" example?

:More help is welcome! And, of course, there's always the "trial balloon". We can mail this letter + phone call option on about 20 recipients, and see what kind of response we get. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 11:54, 5 March 2007 (PST)

::I think a marketing patch should usually focus on the value proposition (what's in it for the customer?)
+
+
::As I see it, your value proposition is to provide a quality listing in a new, high-ranking directory, where the company, organization, or person has control over there own entry.
+
+
::You could ADD another value statement by making it really quick and easy to create a listing. The Wikicompany forms are very similar to what I had in mind.
+
+
::The semantic tagging feature is another value statement, but very few people are going to understand it... so don't muddle the message
+
+
::In short, the pitch to organizations and their members should be: ''Centiare offers a quick, easy way for you to create a high-quality directory listing that you control.''
