over the next three years accoding to a
newly released study by the InterUnity
Group. 06/23/2004 03:04 AM
The Top 10 Enterprise IT Vendors have three year customer loyalty rates that range from 53% to 71% according to an extensive and independent study by the InterUnity Group. On average 2 out of 3 customers will evaluate replacement products in the next three years from these vendors. The study evaluated the loyalty of 1188 users of 10 leading IT Enterprise vendors including Computer Associates, Dell, EMC, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Peoplesoft, SAP, and Sun.While customers may choose to continue to use the existing vendor after evaluating alternatives, pricing pressure is introduced. “Vendors who understand the drivers of customer loyalty can reduce customer defections and lower the cost of sales”, according to Richard Sneider, a Partner at the InterUnity Group. “ The Customer Loyalty ICSI is useful to purchasers as an indicator of how well a vendor will meet its needs over the long term.” [PRWEB Jun 23, 2004]

Paul O'Neill has backed off from some of the statements I quoted a couple of days ago. Of course, this has resulted in a few e-mail lectures from people who kindly advise that I should just shut my stupid Hollywood liberal mouth and move to France. I'm not planning any relocation, or any self-censorship in the near future, so If you're one of those readers, I kindly advise you to go listen to Rush and come back tomorrow.

Sex toy tech-art from discarded
household gadgets 06/23/2004 02:11 PM
Ian Haig is an Australian geek pervert artist who makes wacky, futuristic sex toys from used tech stuff: discarded vacuum cleaners, food processors, and the like. Many of the passers-by who wandered into his booth at the recent Erotica LA expo assumed the devices were intended to be used. A scary prospect, given their appearance, but some people will get off to just about anything. Thankfully, Haig makes the devices for observation only. Think of it as socio-sexual nerdist commentary, with tongue planted firmly in cheek. And just be grateful nobody's trying to stick one of these up your nether-regions.

I shot a couple of photographs of Mr. Haig and his "Futurotica" tools at Erotica LA: one, two.

Link to Haig's Futurotica website with image gallery and background. Link to Fleshbot's coverage.

Is There Any Brand Loyalty In Wireless
Services?

Is There Any Brand Loyalty In Wireless
Services? 05/11/2004 08:52 PM
A report on an interesting round table discussion about branding and wireless technologies suggests that (especially among young people) there is no loyalty to a brand in the wireless space. While this may upset the marketers at various wireless service providers, it really shouldn't be a surprise. Most of these services have done little to nothing to deserve loyalty. In fact, they've done a lot to push their customers away. While they used to be able to get away with it, there are a lot more choices and consumers (especially young ones) are a lot more informed these days. It's no longer just about building a cool brand, but one that actually deserves loyalty.
