UK Industrial Order Expectations fall Slowdown Still to Persist

January 10, 2012 by admin · Leave a Comment 

At Gerard Associates Ltd we continue our daily look at factors affecting markets and currencies allowing some insight into conditions affecting exchange rates.
Cash and income timing from a UK Pension income drawdown, flexible pensionsor QROPS (Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme) should be considered to maximise the Pension drawdown, QROPS and investment income taken.
Investment market volatility and currency exchange remains a challenge. The global economics are volatile and unprecedented in history. Currency exchange continues to concern expats with UK Pensions,income drawdown now including flexible pensions, a QROPS and QNUPS (Qualifying non UK Pension schemes).
Data on Wednesday showed UK industrial order expectations had fallen more than expected in July. In a report by the Confederation of British Industry, industrial order expectations declined to – 10.0 in July, compared to a 1.0 reading back in June. Analysts had expected a decline in July to – 3.0 in July. A reading above 0.0 indicates increasing order volume is expected, whilst below indicates expectations are for lower volume.
For the first time in two years, optimism regarding the general business situation fell among UK manufacturers and expectations of slower activity are driving a reappraisal of forwardlooking business plans. Growth in total orders and production eased slightly in the three months to July and manufacturers expect a further deceleration over the next quarter.
Commenting on the report, Ian McCafferty, CBI Chief Economic Advisor, said “This slowdown is expected to persist into the third quarter. How far the slowdown will be borne out is yet unclear, but the combination of political and economic uncertainty is sapping confidence.” Over in the USA, official data showed that US durable goods also fell unexpectedly in June. The Commerce Department said durable goods orders dropped 2.1%, led lower by a decline in orders for transportation equipment, after a 1.9% increase in May. Analysts had expected orders to rise by 0.4% in May. Excluding transportation, orders edged up 0.1% after gaining 0.7% in May.

Top 3 Website Must Do's for Effective Lead Generation

January 9, 2012 by admin · Leave a Comment 

* Simple Website Navigation

A user friendly and dialog based layout is sure to catch the prospect’s attention. So, website layout should be kept simple and straightforward because prospects do not linger on sites that confuse them. Prospects landing on the website are mostly those who use a search engine and their attention spans are minimal. During this time, prospects need to be provided with information on the product offering or service in a convincing and interesting fashion.

Website navigation is another problem with many corporate websites. Prospects have to click at least a minimum of six to eight times before being led to the required content. Therefore, it is critical to categorize content within website searches in order to provide them with valuable information on the solution and also on technology trends and marketing automation ?analysis.

* Call to Action Features

A prospect’s buying interest can be confirmed when he proceeds to the next stage by clicking on the Call-to-action buttons. Websites need to incorporate Call-to-action buttons that will gently guide the visitor to probe further without being too pushy.

They must basically be linked to sections that create an interest or curiosity on the product offering. They include offerings like ‘Related Posts’, ‘Webinar Invitation’ or a ‘Free E-book’. This in turn will enable the marketer to elicit contact information that can be used to nurture product interest in the next step of Lead Nurturing.

* Non-intrusive Elicitation of Contact Information

The elicitation of contact information may not be adequate right away as most prospects may not have the time and patience to fill in a form. So, auto responders can be used to collect prospect contact information. In sections where there is a free giveaway, it is ideal to use an auto-responder where in an auto mail is sent to the registered email id to confirm the request and asking them to provide more information such as industry domain, prospect title etc.

Another simple way to encourage them to repeat their visit is to ask them to fill in suggestions or feedback whenever they download or view a report. This conversation can be useful to know what exactly they are interested in and how the product/service can be useful or relevant to them.

Nesting inquiry forms at every level may prevent them from further using the website. So, it is ideal to place company contact information on every page. If there is an inquiry; the prospect will know how to contact the marketer.
