The housing market in the Greater Toronto Area is expected to have record sales and price growth in 2010, but both sales and prices will begin to moderate in the second half of the year and into 2011. New home sales will increase to 42,000 units in 2010, with high-rise sales jumping 50% and housing starts rising 34% to 36,400 units. The unemployment rate in Toronto will fall slightly to an average of 9% in 2010 as employment gains push the rate lower in 2011, supporting homeownership demand.
The document provides an overview of India's large population and growing economy. Some key points:
- India has a population of over 1.21 billion people, with over 60% under age 35 and urban population contributing 60% of GDP.
- Household income is increasing significantly across income brackets, fueling more discretionary spending.
- Many sectors like FMCG, retail, healthcare and hospitality are experiencing strong growth of 6-15% annually.
- Television is a major advertising medium due to its large reach, though distribution challenges remain due to a fragmented market of over 50,000 cable operators.

The document outlines a strategic plan and investment proposal for Old Spirit Group from 2010-2025. It recommends four investments totaling seven million euros in new production and bottling lines to support growth. It also proposes launching a new product called Black Phoenix, which would combine premium and regular spirits in a blended four-year aged whiskey. This would increase cash flow to support luxury growth while gaining market share in both classic and luxury segments. Overall the strategic plan aims to position the company for strong growth in China, India and the luxury segment while addressing weaknesses in the mass segment.

The document discusses optimizing a dealership's marketing mix by balancing advertising spend across different media channels. It suggests shifting spending from offline to online media like display ads and search engine marketing to match how consumers now research vehicles online. The right mix should focus ads on driving awareness, engagement, purchases and retaining existing customers. Dealerships should test multiple online ad formats and combinations to engage consumers and drive revenue. Ongoing measurement is also important to optimize the marketing mix over time based on what performs best.
The document discusses the growth of mobile marketing and its advantages over traditional advertising methods. Some key points include:
- Mobile marketing spending is expected to grow from $2 billion in 2009 to $22 billion by 2013.
- 97% of mobile messages are read by recipients, compared to much lower read rates for emails, direct mail, and print advertising.
- Mobile marketing allows businesses to target customers precisely based on location.
- Industries see redemption rates of 7-14% for mobile offers and coupons, and conversion rates of 3-7% for forms, representing a quantifiable return on investment for businesses.
The State of Sales & Marketing at the 50 Fastest-Growing B2B CompaniesMattermark
There’s a lot of information out there for sales and marketing professionals. In fact, as our friend Erik Devaney at Drift.com points out, a quick search of the term “sales and marketing advice” yields more than 90 million results on Google.
What’s more, there are tons of industry influencers who, on a regular basis, share their views on everything from content marketing and sales, to pricing and customer success. It’s a noisy conversation, and for many, a confusing one.
So, how do you make sense of it all?
By focusing on the sales and marketing efforts that actually produce results, not flash-in-the-pan engagement. But finding those results is a little challenging. That’s why we decided to put together our latest report with Drift.com, The State of Sales and Marketing at the 50 Fastest-Growing B2B Companies.
Using Mattermark data, we were able to identify the fifty high-growth companies in the U.S. and evaluate their marketing activities to understand which practices really moved the needle. In order to make the qualitative portion of our research more tangible, we evaluated each company on the list in light of how they approached content, customer communication, path to purchase, and pricing.
What we and the team at Drift.com discovered was surprising, to say the least.

The UK magazine publishing industry is a £26.7 billion sector comprised of approximately 1,100 publishers. It includes consumer magazines, business magazines, and customer titles. While print remains important, publishers are increasingly leveraging online and face-to-face events to engage readers across multiple platforms.

This document discusses the challenges facing newspapers and emerging strategies to address declining revenue streams. It notes that newspapers are losing advertising market share and print advertising revenues are declining while digital revenues are growing. Emerging strategies discussed include developing online paywalls, integrating print and digital advertising, using technologies like QR codes and augmented reality to drive interactivity, and leveraging community relationships to subsidize quality journalism.
Online magazine subscriptions are contributing to declining print magazine sales, accounting for less than 1% of overall sales. Several music magazine sales saw declines from 2008-2009, with some titles like Kerrang and NME seeing double-digit percentage drops. While online sites for magazines like NME provide additional content like videos and photo galleries not possible in print, the convenience and lower cost of online access is drawing readers away from purchasing physical copies, weakening the magazine business model.
The document discusses trends affecting the role of print media in the media mix. It notes that newspaper and magazine advertising shares are expected to decline while internet advertising is expected to increase significantly. Younger digital natives are spending less time with traditional print media and more time online and engaged in other digital activities. However, innovations like enriched paper with new technologies and increased outdoor media use may help maintain a role for print. The media landscape is also shifting with new players like Google playing a more prominent role.
UK advertising spend surpassed £21 billion in 2016, with internet accounting for 46% of total spend. Internet advertising saw a 13.4% increase and was the only medium besides radio to gain market share. Television grew 0.2% while direct mail, magazines, and newspapers all declined between 6-13%. Out of home advertising rose for the sixth consecutive year. While many traditional media continue to lose spend, the rate of decline is projected to lessen going forward.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

The revenues of the UK print publishing industry grew from £9.9bn in 1990 to £13.3bn1 in 1996, representing a CAGR of almost 5.1%.2 Note
Industry revenues are based on sector UK market data

The UK magazines sector grew at a CAGR of 8.2% between 1993 and 1996. Numbers of both business and consumer titles have * includes advertising revenue
grown rapidly in the last 10 years, by 44% and 31% respectively. This has been accompanied by rising advertising revenue and
consumer expenditure. The industry is regenerative in nature, with new titles coming on stream as others close. At present some
8,000 titles are in print.
The book market has grown at a CAGR of 7.1% over the same period, despite constraints in public sector spending which account
for a significant part of the market. The number of titles published has shown strong growth between 1990 (64,000) and 1996
(102,000) although 1997 saw a slight fall possibly, but not conclusively, as a result of the demise of the Net Book Agreement.
The newspaper market saw a small real-terms increase over the same period with a CAGR of 0.9% in the face of rising newsprint
costs, price wars and a decline in advertising revenue. However, this figure hides significant growth in the regional and local press,
which saw total advertising revenues increase by 8.7% in 1997, maintaining their share of the advertising market at around 21%.
The total number of newspapers sold in the UK is falling, from 8.1 billion copies in 1990 to 7.3 billion in 1996. The UK
nevertheless has one of the highest levels of newspaper readership in Europe,3 with 55% of the adult population reading at least
one national daily paper and 60% at least one Sunday paper. Almost 90% of adults read a regional or local newspaper each week.
Sales of regional paid for titles have been stable. The number of free local newspaper copies has fallen, primarily due to the
rationalisation and closure of some titles following the high acquisition activity in this sector.
Between 1993 and 1997, consumer expenditure on books, newspapers and magazines fell overall by 5.3% in real terms,
compared with an increase of 16.8% in spending on recreational and cultural services.4
This reduction in expenditure on books and newspapers may be attributable to several factors, including: the rise of title
discounting; newspaper price wars; and new leisure options offered by electronic media.

The global use of English creates a huge potential market for English language content. English is spoken by over 460m
native and non-native speakers and is the most widely used second language.5 Publishing has a long history of active
exporting, supported by well-established trade associations.
In 1997, visible publishing exports reached £1.6bn, up from £0.9bn in 1992. Imports grew more slowly, from £590m to £790m.
The UK’s publishing trade surplus consequently rose from £322m to £853m.6
Over half of all exports were books, the principal markets being the US, Germany, France, Australia, Eire and the Netherlands,
together representing 40% of all book exports.7 The UK has a number of world leaders in technical magazines.
In addition, trade bodies estimate that net royalty income from abroad amounted to some £250m in 1996.8

Total employment in direct and indirect publishing activities (creative writing, publishing, printing and paper manufacturing) has
fluctuated around 450,000 for some years (in line with the macroeconomic cycle), and in 1996 stood at 455,000. While overall
employment levels are now little higher than in 1983, this should be viewed in the context of the rationalisation and downsizing
associated with the restructuring of the industry and the introduction of new technologies in the 1980s and 1990s. Current (1996)
direct publishing employment is 132,000 but the trend has been downwards from a high of 160,000 in 1990.9
In 1991 there were 82,000 creative writers working in the UK.10 The majority were either in full-time employment (58%) or were
self-employed (30%).

The publishing sector comprises a number of sub-sectors, each extensive in its own right. Within each of these can be identified
further sub-sectors, for example reference/trade, local/national, business/consumer. Many publishers are producing titles with
specialised content aimed at a very focussed audience, which accounts for large number of enterprises.
The publishing sector as a whole, with the exception of the national newspaper sector, has seen a considerable amount of
recent merger, acquisition and restructuring activity, mainly involving the larger companies. Particularly active has been the
regional newspaper sector – 35% of regional titles changed hands in the 12 months from November 1995. The book sector
has seen Pearson buy Simon & Schuster and Reed shed the last of its consumer books operations to management buyout.
Likewise in the magazine sector, where Reed has disposed of IPC to a management buyout.

This activity has been driven by a number of factors, including developments in technology, globalisation of markets, benefits of
economies of scale, opportunities offered by electronic publishing and the formation of alliances and partnerships to acquire new
skills and market opportunities.
Some of these same forces are impacting on the traditional supply chain. In general terms, companies active in the publishing
supply chain have tended to focus in one part: origination, publishing, manufacturing, distribution or retail. There are exceptions –
Reuters and the BBC are more vertically integrated as are the regional press, in that many print and distribute their own titles.

However, technological developments such as the Internet – which is accessible and affordable – are changing the relationship
between the supplier and the user. Consumers can now order on-line, publishers can now interact directly with the consumer.
Already the majority of newspapers and magazines have a website, as do many book publishers. Publishers are attempting to
protect existing revenue streams and create new ones. Local and regional newspapers are building online communities to attract
current and new readers and provide a range of value added services, supplementing their core print product. However, these
changes are still in their infancy and new business models are still being tested and refined. The impact is still minor at present,
but it is anticipated that this will become a major growth area.
It is worth recognising that whatever developments take place in electronic publishing, print publishing will continue to enjoy
a robust and profitable existence for the foreseeable future.

Electronic publishing has been well established in a few areas, notably the provision of business information. This is by far the
largest in revenue terms and is dominated by a handful of players – Reuters, Reed Elsevier, Dialog Corporation, Financial Times,
Dun & Bradstreet – who between them account for over two-thirds of industry revenues. This is very much a global market and
the need for competitive advantage will fuel further consolidation within the sector.
Within the consumer market, CD-Rom has been the main delivery platform. A handful of companies, among them Dorling
Kindersley, OUP, the BBC, Helicon, Anglia Multimedia and YITM, have had success, but the majority of the companies in this
sector, typically very small, have struggled in a difficult and volatile market place. The obvious route to the market for these
products, through retail outlets, has proved to be congested, with too many titles chasing too little shelf space. Even the biggest
companies have failed to get all their product on to the shelves or make an impact and there have been a number of high profile
companies who have withdrawn from CD-Rom publishing. Alternatives, such as mail order or covermounts, have provided a route
to the customer, but the mass market once expected has never really materialised.
Companies within the sector have often migrated from more traditional forms of publishing, but there are also many whose
only experience is in electronic publishing. The relatively low barriers to entry have also seen companies from other sectors
(for example software, finance and consulting) begin to create extensive content in electronic format, raising the competitive
pressures. These market pressures will force a shakeout, survival will depend on a company’s ability to market their skills,
develop partnerships with other (larger) players, exploit niche markets and control costs.
The creation and delivery of content through the Internet opens up new opportunities, but the difficulties of creating and
collecting revenues from online operations remain. Various business models are being experimented with, including advertising,
subscription, “pay-per-view” and transaction charges. Nevertheless, this is an area where many larger companies are now
operating, with substantial investments being made to create a strongly branded site with attractive content. Some of these
companies will have sufficient brand strength to attract consumer online, but they, as well as smaller companies, may also
position themselves within areas of high traffic and portal sites, such as Yahoo or Netscape.
INTERNATIONAL CRITICAL ACCLAIM
There are no readily available measures of international perception of UK product.
SECONDARY ECONOMIC IMPACT
Directly associated economic activities including distribution, printing and paper manufacturing, and employment figures are
included above. Other related sectors are television, libraries, education, research, consulting, the Internet, software, computers,
advertising and retail.
Magazine publishers are increasingly using their brands for activities such as exhibitions, directory publishing, conferences and
masthead programming. It is estimated that these peripheral activities are worth in excess of £1bn.11
POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH
Factors which will determine future print publishing growth rates include:
investment in education in the UK and globally, including investment in books
growth in life-long learning
the effect of the macro-economic climate on disposable income and commercial advertising expenditure
the impact of electronic media on print sales
the long-term impact of the end of the Net Book Agreement and of discounting
the targeting of unexploited niche markets by the magazine industry, including the growth in database marketing
success in export markets
In the context of relatively saturated domestic markets and recent rapid growth in publishing exports, it is in overseas markets
that the UK print publishing industry could find greatest potential for growth, either via traditional channels or via online sales.
However, it is worth noting that online sales operations are capital intensive – despite sales of approximately $137m in 1997,
Amazon.com, the global Internet book seller, is not yet profitable.

Electronic publishing provides a key opportunity for publishers and content providers to expand into growing global markets.
Growth will be driven by convergence technologies, the opportunity to exploit new revenue streams and continued demand
for information in a fast and flexible format.
Factors impacting on electronic publishing include:
higher penetration of PCs into business and the home
digital television and web TV
a robust but flexible regulatory framework
widespread adoption of e-commerce
the creation of strong brands, recognised and trusted by consumers
The Size and Growth of the Internet12
Number of European Hosts The number of households in Britain with access to the Internet has more than doubled
3,921,946
from just under 400,000 in June 1996 to 960,000 in June 1997
Usage of the Web is also increasing. In June 1997 over three million Internet users said
they had used the Web during the previous four weeks, representing a threefold growth
over an 18 month period
2,284,750
“The Internet is at last starting to look like it has the potential for becoming a mass
market, with users increasingly accessing it at home as well as in the workplace.
Web usage is becoming an integral and important part of overall Internet usage and
1,106,077
is clearly perceived as a highly attractive information and study medium by users”,
587,135 Richard Jameson, NOP
1994 1995 1996 1997
Access to the Internet is expected to become more widespread through computers, televisions, kiosks and mobile phones.
It is forecast that 12% of all UK households will have Internet access by 2000, generating demand for Internet-related services
of £844m.13
Information services, traditionally focussed on businesses, will become increasingly in demand in the consumer and education
markets, driven by developments such as the plan to connect all schools to the Internet by 2000.
DVD12
Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is a 43⁄4 inch playback-only optical disk
A standard DVD can hold 4.7 gigabytes of multimedia content, seven times the capacity of a CD
DVD also offers instant access, no wear and tear and cross-compatibility between DVD players and computer DVD-ROM drives
The functionality and interactivity of DVD offers exciting opportunities for all types of published consent: text, images and video
DVD was launched in the US in Spring 1997 and is set to roll out across Europe during 1998
“Never before has there been a product with as much convergence potential as DVD and it is now up to the various industries which stand to benefit
from it to pull together and make it a success” Ben Keen, Screen Digest
The market for offline electronic information is likely to be boosted by the introduction of the digital versatile disc (DVD),
a highly flexible format with vast capacity designed to cater for the converging computer and entertainment industries.
Key markets which offer considerable potential for growth in both print and electronic publishing are the US, Western
Europe and the Far East.

prosperity of the sector include:
protection of intellectual property rights and safeguarding of revenue collection, particularly in the context of electronic publishing,
and the combatting of piracy
ensuring that the industry has access to the skills it needs
the operation and impact of the regulatory environment
continuing developments in technology and the process of convergence
the impact of further consolidation within the value chain and the market power of media conglomerates
international trade issues including territorial publishing rights, particularly in the context of online book sales,
and parallel importation
