Today was my last day at the Seattle Executives Association (SEA) meeting. I joined SEA back in 2003, and over the past 21 years, I've had the privilege of serving as a board member, treasurer, and president. It has been an incredible journey, and today I pass the torch to Ryan Heinrichs to continue our membership at the Seattle Executives Association.

 

During my time with SEA, I've made many friends, which isn't always easy when you're the boss of your own company. The association has provided a unique platform for building genuine relationships, both professionally and personally. It's a community where business leaders can connect, share experiences, and support each other.

 

I highly recommend joining an association like SEA if you own your own business. The opportunities for networking, learning, and growth are invaluable. It's been an honor to be part of such a dynamic and supportive organization, and I look forward to seeing Ryan and others continue to thrive within SEA.

 

In summary, my experience with SEA has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my professional life, and I am confident that it will continue to be a valuable resource for all its members.

Step emails are often confused with newsletters, but they serve entirely different purposes. This time, we will thoroughly explain how to create a scenario for step emails, even for first-time users, and teach you the principles of crafting scenarios, rather than just providing sample texts.

 

Understanding Step Emails

 

How well do you understand step emails? Also known as follow-up emails, they are indispensable in email marketing. While the content of each newsletter is crucial, step emails do not conclude with a single message. Therefore, it is essential to constantly consider the customer's reaction and create a scenario that seamlessly connects to the next email. This time, we will provide plenty of information on the secrets of scenarios, even for those who are thinking about step emails for the first time!

 

 Overview of Step Emails

 

First, let's quickly review what step emails are. Step emails are a form of email marketing where pre-prepared emails are automatically sent to users according to a set schedule. Starting from the day the user registers, step emails can include welcome emails, birthday emails, and more, playing a significant role in maintaining relationships with customers.

 

The main benefits of step emails include:

- Sending emails tailored to each user's needs by timing them with specific dates or user actions.
- Increasing touchpoints with users and enhancing communication.

 

 Differences Between Step Emails and Scenario Emails

 

One email distribution method that is often confused with step emails is "scenario emails." Although they appear similar, they are strictly different. The main difference lies in what triggers the email.

 

- Step Emails: Triggered by a specific date. For example, emails automatically sent one week and two weeks after a user requests materials.

 

- Scenario Emails: Triggered by customer actions. For example, emails sent to users who have viewed a feature page three times or opened an email. Scenario emails allow for more detailed conditions compared to step emails, which are based on specific dates.

 

 Choosing the Right Distribution Method

 

By selecting the appropriate distribution method based on your objectives and use cases, you can enhance the effectiveness of your email distribution. Understanding the differences between these methods is beneficial.

 

 How to Create a Scenario

 

Finally, let's discuss how to create a scenario for step emails. Even if you are distributing step emails for the first time, you can create effective scenarios by keeping the following points in mind:

 

1. Clarify Your Goals: Clearly define what you want to achieve, such as promoting product purchases, educating users, or maintaining relationships.

 

2. Understand the Customer Journey: Understand the process customers go through to become interested in your product or service and create a scenario that follows that process.

 

3. Set Objectives for Each Email: Set specific objectives for each email and create content that aligns with those objectives.

 

4. Encourage Action: Include clear calls to action (CTA) in each email to prompt specific actions.

 

5. Set Timing and Frequency: Establish the timing and frequency of email sends to maintain customer interest.

 

By following these steps, you can maximize the effectiveness of your step emails.

To make your Internet presence work for you, you need to follow these essential steps:

 

 1. Ensure You Have a Good Website with the Right SEO and Clear Calls to Action

 

- User-Friendly Design: Your website should be easy to navigate, visually appealing, and mobile-friendly. Ensure that visitors can easily find the information they need.
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization): Optimize your website with relevant keywords, meta descriptions, and quality content to improve your search engine rankings. This will help potential customers find you more easily.
- Clear Calls to Action (CTAs): Make sure your CTAs are prominently displayed and encourage visitors to take the desired actions, such as signing up for a newsletter, requesting a quote, or making a purchase.

 

 2. Use Blogs, Social Media, Email, and Video to Promote Your Website

 

- Blogging: Regularly update your blog with informative and engaging content that addresses your audience's interests and needs. This can improve your SEO and establish you as an authority in your field.
- Social Media: Leverage platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn to share your content, engage with your audience, and drive traffic to your website.
- Email Marketing: Build an email list and send regular newsletters with updates, promotions, and valuable content. This helps keep your audience informed and engaged.
- Video Marketing: Create videos to showcase your products, share customer testimonials, and provide tutorials. Videos can be shared on your website, social media, and platforms like YouTube to reach a wider audience.

 

 3. Create and Implement a Strategic Internet Advertisement Plan

 

- Identify Your Target Audience: Understand who your ideal customers are and tailor your advertising efforts to reach them effectively.
- Choose the Right Advertising Platforms: Utilize platforms such as Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and Instagram Ads to create targeted campaigns that reach your audience where they are most active.
- Monitor and Optimize: Regularly track the performance of your ad campaigns and make necessary adjustments to improve their effectiveness. Use analytics tools to measure key metrics such as click-through rates, conversion rates, and return on investment (ROI).

 

By following these steps, you can create a robust online presence that attracts, engages, and converts visitors into loyal customers.

My fellow Americans,

 

Over the past three and a half years, we have made great progress as a nation.

 

Today, America has the strongest economy in the world. We've made historic investments in rebuilding our nation, in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and in expanding affordable health care to a record number of Americans. We passed the first gun safety law in 30 years, appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court, and passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today.

 

I know none of this could have been done without you, the American people. Together, we overcame a once in a century pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We've protected and preserved our democracy.

 

It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term. 

 

That’s why today, I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. And if you’re with us, donate to her campaign and Democrats nationwide here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/p2p-240722-jbau?refcode=misc_5_fl

Globally, computers running Microsoft's Windows are experiencing issues such as unexpected reboots, and the impact is spreading. This problem was caused by a technical issue identified in the software of the global cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is working to resolve this issue. CrowdStrike provides antivirus software for Microsoft's Windows devices.

 

CrowdStrike's products are used by many large enterprises, and an update from CrowdStrike has caused Windows to crash, display a blue screen, and trigger a reboot. After rebooting, the same issue occurs, leading to an infinite loop of Windows startup failures, rendering the computer unusable.

 

The recommended recovery method is to boot Windows in safe mode and remove the CrowdStrike update, but it is unclear if this process is straightforward or how exactly it should be done. This issue has not occurred in PSPINC's data center. However, if any PSPINC customers are experiencing this issue, please contact PSPINC. Additionally, if other individuals or companies need assistance with this problem, please call 1-800-232-3989.

Differentiation

When thinking about the term "differentiation," many people focus on the product. They often consider aspects like having more features or being cheaper. However, differentiation should not be about how the product is consumed but about understanding the customer's feelings. It is essential to communicate that this product has the features that meet their needs. Making customers feel special is crucial. This may be a marketing gimmick, but customers don’t understand the technical details. Differentiation means understanding what the customer needs and recommending the product that fits those needs.

差別化

寂し家という言葉を考えたときに、多くの人は商品の差別化を考える。より、たくさんの機能が付いているとか、安いとかを考えることが多いのではないだろうか。しかし、差別化という言葉は、商品の食べ方ではなく、買う人の気持ちになって差別化を行うことが必要なのではないか。 この商品はあなたの必要とするこの機能がありますといったように、お客様にとって寂しをしてあげることが本当に必要だと思います。これはマーケティングのギミックかもしれませんが、お客様は細かい技術的な話などをしてもわかりません。お客様の必要な事は何なのか と言うことを考え、それに合った商品をお勧めすることが差別化だと思います。

 Embracing Our Roots: The Journey from Double-Byte Specialists to Modern-Day Innovators

Back in the 90s, PSPINC was widely recognized for our expertise as double-byte specialists. Our core mission was to create and assist in the development of Japanese language and culturally localized software. This foundation, deeply rooted in understanding and catering to the nuances of the Japanese market, set us apart in the industry. 

 The Origins: Double-Byte Specialization

During the early days of computing, handling double-byte character sets was a significant challenge. Languages such as Japanese, which use complex characters, required specialized knowledge and technical skill to ensure proper display and functionality in software applications. PSPINC excelled in this area, providing solutions that enabled US companies to seamlessly enter and thrive in the Japanese market. Our focus on linguistic and cultural localization helped bridge the gap between different markets, fostering better communication and business opportunities.

 Transition to the Internet Age

As technology evolved and the internet became a dominant force, the landscape of software development transformed dramatically. The emphasis shifted from standalone software applications to web-based solutions. Despite these changes, the core need for cultural and linguistic localization remained relevant. Websites and online services still required adjustments to resonate with Japanese users, ensuring that cultural subtleties and language intricacies were accurately represented.

 The Continued Relevance of Cultural Localization

Today, the need for culturally sensitive and linguistically accurate software and websites is as pertinent as ever. While the term "double-byte enablement" might not be as commonly discussed, the principles behind it continue to drive our work. At PSPINC, we remain committed to our roots, leveraging our deep understanding of Japanese culture and language to help businesses succeed in this unique market.

 Modern-Day PSPINC: A Unique Expertise

In the current digital age, PSPINC stands out as one of the few companies in the US that specializes in Japanese cultural and linguistic localization. Our experience and dedication to this niche market enable us to provide unparalleled services to our clients. Whether it's developing bilingual websites, offering email marketing solutions like NewsMail, or integrating the latest web technologies, our focus on cultural relevance ensures that our clients can effectively connect with their target audience.

 Conclusion: Honoring Our Heritage

As we move forward, we continue to honor our heritage by embracing the principles that have guided us since our inception. By staying true to our mission of bridging cultural and linguistic gaps, we help businesses navigate the complexities of the Japanese market. Our journey from double-byte specialists to modern-day innovators is a testament to our adaptability and unwavering commitment to excellence.

At PSPINC, we are proud of our past and excited for the future. As we embark on new ventures and embrace emerging technologies, we remain dedicated to our core values, ensuring that our clients receive the best possible solutions tailored to their specific needs.
