It all depends on the corporate goals defined in your second
phase business plan. This goals define the marketing strategy.
We definitely would need to see your marketing plan for some
valuable thoughts. What are your marketing goals for 1998?
Since your marketing strategy for phase 1 was "Featuring many of
the internet's finest retailers..." your marketing strategy may
not differ regarding this goal for phase 2?
You established the "Pay for Performance" Program, means
virtually any e-marketer WITH an e-commerce software can join
your "click-through shopping mall"?
Your website basically is a 3-level textual jump website. I could
not recognize any value-added. Does the website add any value for
the merchant or the consumer?
To provide a value-add regarding brand imaging for the "finest
retailers" will not work with this shopping concept. Means you
shall go into the masses, into the masses regarding retailers as
well into the masses regarding consumers. If that is your
strategy then you definitely need to create a brand image for the
ShopSafe first. This would mean run-the-networks with online
advertising, which includes the 1.800+ banner-exchange services,
and run any affortable marketing method, online and offline.
But... 1998 will become the year of building communities. You
definitely need to invest in this area as early as possible, and
promote a few high-quality content channels at ShopSafe for
adding fun and entertainment as value-add.

Subject: Advertising ShopSafeMall
Hi Richard,
I visited the ShopSafeMall (albeit briefly) and thought
things looked pretty good. You are building a good 'anchor'
with some of the more well known brands you have attracted.
I would surely push their participation in all of your promo
materials as evidence of successful, established businesses
recognising the value you have created.
My only other suggestion would be to provide accurate, up
to date site visitation statistics so potential
merchant/customers may get an advance feel for what to expect
in terms of traffic generated to their site(s) by
ShopSafeMall.

Subject: The Inside Track - repost
Hi all,
Yesterday Shannon Kinnard posted about The Inside Track,
a monthly newsletter on exhibiting at trade shows.
The e-mail address she referenced was unfortunately offline
from Friday until Wednesday, so, for the many who have
requested clarification, all is now in working order.
You may email Dave Sterne at;
mailto:dsterne@theinsidetrackinc.com
...and get more information.

*** NEW TOPIC - Income Opportunity ***
From: Tony Hicks
Subject: Checks by fax, phone and e-mail
Hello, Gary and E-Marketers!
I market a fully-functional "checks by fax, phone and e-mail"
software that sells for less than any other. However, my site
and business are geared toward research rather than actual
commerce, so I'm wondering if any of your readers might be
interested in selling the software from their sites on commission?
Anyone interested would need to purchase a copy (at a discount,
of course), then offer it from their own site. They would
collect, and send my share back to me.
For more information, go to http://tiara.home.ml.org/echeck.html
Thank you,
