This document summarizes a presentation given by Michael Hinshaw on May 12, 2011 about how smart customers and new technologies are disrupting businesses. The presentation outlines six disruptive forces empowering customers: 1) Customers are more connected than ever through mobile devices and social media; 2) They are more informed and can research companies online; 3) They are more impatient and less loyal, easily taking their business elsewhere; 4) They are more skeptical of advertising and marketing messages; 5) They are more influential as they share opinions and recommendations online; 6) They are more demanding and expect companies to understand their individual needs and provide personalized experiences. The presentation argues that companies must adapt to this new environment by better serving smart customers.

Card-Linked Offers – The New Deal For In-Store RetailersG3 Communications
In-store retail marketers face tough challenges in today’s cross-channel marketplace — they need to find innovative ways to bring shoppers into the store and motivate them to purchase. The best marketing strategies are simple to implement, have proof of performance, and require little or no effort on the part of the shopper and retailer. Card-linked offers answer that call.
The card-linked offer is a new type of shopping deal linked to the credit and debit cards shoppers already use and value. Because offers are linked to cards, retailers can use anonymous transaction data to target the right customer segments and enjoy true incremental sales analytics. Card-linked offers provide a number of potential benefits for in-store retailers, including:
1) Risk-free sales boost – offers are funded only after qualifying sales occur
2) An uptick in new customer acquisition, repeat sales and basket-size
3) Taking market share from competitors – with data to prove it
Unlike Daily Deals, card-linked offers require no paper vouchers or manual tracking. Card members are enrolled automatically, receive offers from their trusted banks and card issuers, and redeem offers just by swiping their cards.
During the upcoming webinar titled “Card-Linked Offers – The New Deal For In-Store Retailers,” merchants will learn more about the benefits of card-linked offers and how to initiate a program.

This document discusses the 7 deadly sins that traditional print publishers commit as digital transformation occurs. It argues that publishers focus too much on anger over competition and envy of digital players' advantages instead of adapting. Publishers also take pride in past successes but not adapting, and greedily try to replace all print revenue with digital instead of diversifying. The document advocates that publishers focus on customers, create new revenue streams, market aggressively, bundle digital and print products, and target many small advertisers instead of few large ones.
