Lyra Research Forecasts Digital Imaging Supplies Revenue Will Top $100 Billion in 2006: Adoption of Color Seen as a Key Driver
Newton, MA (ContentDesk) March 20, 2006 -- Lyra Research (www.lyra.com), the digital imaging authority, forecasts that the global digital imaging supplies market will exceed $100 billion in 2006. While the digital imaging industry has been generating more revenue from supplies than from hardware for some time, 2006 marks the first time the supplies sector will register 12-digit revenue numbers, exceeding hardware revenue by 68 percent (see figure: http://ww1.ContentDesk.com/prfiles/2006/03/18/360617/LyraWWDigitalImagingRevenue.gif). According to Lyras Hard Copy Supplies Advisory Service, the growth is attributed in part to the availability of more affordable, high-speed, easy-to-use color ink jet and color laser printers that enable users to print more graphics-intensive documents.
Rodger Reis, analyst for Lyras Hard Copy Supplies Advisory Service, explains the surge. Broadband Internet service, digital photography, affordable color printers, high-capacity e-mail accounts, and desktop publishing technologies are some of the factors driving supplies revenue.
These fast-spreading elements have made it easier to create, share, and access electronic documents. New high-speed, easy-to-use color ink jet and color laser printers and digital color presses are enabling users to print sophisticated, graphics-intensive documents, transforming the old digital document landscape from one of monochrome-only applications to one of rich and complex color applications that include digital photos, Web pages, PDFs, and other graphics-intensive documents. Reis concludes, Lyra estimates that color and graphics-intensive documents will consume three to four times as much toner and ink per page as traditional monochrome applications such as photocopies. These trends will result in increased consumption of ink and toner and, to some extent, value-added papers, driving digital imaging consumables revenue worldwide.

How Many Pages Are There In Your Sales Letter?
Copyright 2006 Stuart Elliott
Let me ask you a question:
Do you know how many pages you must have in your sales letter?
There must be only ONE continuous page, No Page 2, or [continue on next page] whatsoever.
The reason for this is simple: you want to get your prospects to read your sales letter from top to bottom, keep their focus on your words and make the decision to buy your product right there and then without having to click away to another page to find out more info.
Nothing should be there to distract them, everything should lead to one goal only and that is to have your prospects BUY your product.
If you haven't achieved that by the time they get to the bottom of your page there are no second chances, you've lost them - never to return!
If this happens regularly, then you have some work to do.
Maybe your headline is not strong enough or you you need to rewrite your copy ...

Internet Marketing Mistakes that Traditional Business Owners make part 5
The fifth mistake in Internet marketing, and personal soap box for me, is made by business owners who do not give their clients or prospects any hooks or freebies.Too many web sites do not use the biblical law of reciprocity in their Internet marketing campaigns. The law of giving BEFORE you receive. This is also true in a lot of offline methods, but for this article, we will concentrate in Internet marketing methods.If you want a lead or prospect to leave their contact details with you, you must give them a compelling reason with your Internet marketing to do so. In exchange you could send out a free report, an audio interview, a DVD, an audit, a 7 part course or even a gift certificate.When you plug this into your overall Internet marketing strategies, you will convert a lot more leads into sales. The hooks need not be expensive to fulfill, but it must have high perceived value.
Mention the exact price of value, make the invisible, visible.At our website, we give away free audios,...

Consumer Review USB Flash Drive, DiskOnKey, Helps Restart Computer
One of the few remaining useful functions of the vanishing floppy disk is that it can be used to start a crashed computer. Inserting a floppy that holds a bootable copy of DOS offers a chance to access the unresponsive hard disk and see of you can effect repairs. But now there's something that can do the same thing, and even do it better. You remember the 3.5 inch floppy disk, don't you? Well, if you have a Mac, you may not, since Apple was the first computer company to produce a computer without a floppy drive. And if you still have a floppy drive on your PC, it's probably an older model although some still do include it.
But more and more PC makers are either not including a floppy disk drive or are at least making it an option. Well, another nail in the venerable floppy's coffin may have been hammered in by M-Systems, the makers of a USB flash memory storage device called DiskOnKey. M-Systems has announced that the latest 4th generation of their device (their 3rd generation...
