Backblaze "Backblaze is an online backup service where we backup all data on laptops/desktops for $5/month.

Culture & Castle - Alle Häuser 5 Psychological Studies on Pricing That You Absolutely MUST Read As marketers and business owners, you will most likely come to deal with the process of pricing your products or services. The thing is, many folks struggle with this process because although they understand their customer’s needs, they aren’t experienced with what to charge people for their work. Below I’ve analyzed a few recent research studies that dive into pricing of products and services in the hope that you might better understand how to price your own goods. 1. Comparative Pricing: Not Always Optimal One of the first techniques that many marketers attempt in forming a new pricing strategy is to directly compare their price with that of a competitor. “Hey, my software is 30% less than this popular option, why not buy mine?” The problem is, comparative pricing isn’t always as reliable as marketers think it is, and can effect costumer’s perceptions of the product in a few different ways. Consider this scenario: Buying Aspirin… What do you do? The first involved selling CDs on eBay. 2. 3.

Interview: Ricardo Semler | Business | The Observer The almost automatic response to Ricardo Semler's wonderfully subversive new book, The Seven Day Weekend (Century, £16.99), is: 'Well, that's all very well in Sao Paulo, but we couldn't do it here.' Semler is, or was - more of this later - president of Semco, Brazil's most famous company, which has made its name by standing the conventional corporate rulebook on its head. Semco doesn't have a mission statement, its own rulebook or any written policies. Subordinates choose their managers, decide how much they are paid and when they work. Six months is the farthest ahead the group ever looks. Sounds like a recipe for chaos, eh? Semler argues, with figures to support him, that the model has nothing more to prove. Paradoxically, the reason for Semco's sustainability is the same one that makes conventional managers reject it: no one is in control, including Semler. The company at present does have a permanent chief executive, and Semler hasn't always approved of what he does.
The Ultimate Guide to Startup Marketing Starting a business is exhilarating. Unfortunately, the “build it and they will come” theory doesn’t hold much weight and those overnight success stories you hear about are often the result of behind the scenes years of hard work. Simply put, startup marketing is a unique challenge often times because of the limited resources, whether it’s time, money or talent. You have to be sure every effort, no matter how small, is well-planned and flawlessly executed. And to make it even more difficult, the traditional marketing strategies don’t always work. Startup marketing is a whole different science. So, starting from the beginning, here’s the complete Startup Marketing Manual. Foundation Before you start laying bricks, you need a solid foundation. 1. It’s easy for startup founders to believe the whole world will love their products. If you try to market your startup to everyone, you waste both time and money. How do you choose a market? Market Size – Are you targeting a regional demographic? 2.
Complexity I'm in a room laden with media technology, including an umbilical cord of cables descending from the ceiling watching as grad students from the Interactive Telecommunications Program at Tisch, NYU set up to present their four future scenarios. This annual presentation, open to the public, is the culmination of Future of the Infrastructure course. These interrelated futures of new media and the global economy ironically came the same day as the New York Times summarized five “natural security” scenarios based solidly in our physical world and as potential sources of conflict. Eerily, the students’ interactive media scenarios and the military's appear inextricably connected. Wikileaks for better or worse manifests an interactive media/military DNA. I’m a big fan of Art Kleiner, adjunct professor ITP and noted author and editor-in-chief of Booz & Company’s strategy+business magazine , who set the context for the evening. A few of the context trends were: Student scenarios: Scenarios
Startup of the Week – Itembase: the online inventory service that's conquering the US Keeping track of receipts and purchases might not be the sexiest concept for a startup but there’s no denying that it’s appealing for other reasons: Practical, effective and time-saving are words that spring to mind when looking at Berlin-based startup Itembase. These traits are arguably ones that will get the team of three cofounders further than their flashier counterparts. Itembase wants to be users “online inventory for everything”, giving consumers the ability to organise their online purchase plus providing post-purchase support. And so far it’s working: Itembase has lured close to 100,000 users to the service since launching last August. We caught up cofounders Stefan Jørgensen and Per Meurling to find out more about Itembase’s US expansion and how a Viking helmet could be partially responsible for their success… Founders Ramo Karahasan, Stefan Jørgensen and Per Meurling Who are you and what are you doing? Stefan: Hi, I’m Stefan, one of the cofounders of Itembase.
