I am a little late to post it on my blog, but it’s been published on Datacenter Knowledge : iWeb Gets $22M Funding from Goldman Sachs « Data Center Knowledge, Montreal Tech Watch :
iWeb announces $22 million funding from Goldman Sachs and multiple other sites. Congrats to our finance team and thank you to our customers who trust us for their critical web hosting operations.
Quoted from Small Biz Trends on SEO Black Hat :
The Nine and Zero Effect. People associate the number nine with value and zero with quality. Look at the difference between fast food and a gourmet restaurant. A burger meal can sell for about $4.99 while a gourmet entree at the best place in town may go for $30. So the psychology of pricing isn’t so much about gaining additional sales because the price appears to be lower, it’s about what the price communicates about your offering. So which do you want to communicate? Value or Quality? Now you can price accordingly.
I always knew the 9s and 0s had something to do with pricing strategy but never quite understood when I should adopt one strategy vs the other. This little quote helps a lot and I think it’s quite right.
In the US, the next two weeks are traditionally the slowest of the year. Plenty of vacations, half-day Fridays, casual Mondays, martini Tuesdays… you get the idea.
That’s my view too. I always wondered what was the slowest months of the year when it comes to evaluating or budgeting sales …. I now think it’s definitely August. We are always afraid to see slow downs on June or July, but August has proved to be the slowest in the last years. It’s not all negative, support calls and tickets are also down. It’s time to optimize the work processes and prepare for the coming weeks !
Seth couldn’t be more right…
It still takes ten years to become a success, web or no web.
