    PACKARD FIRST ROAD TEST
    November 6, 1899 - Warren, Ohio, U.S.A.

    James Packard and his brother, William Doud Packard, had finished building a car of their own design, and gave it a road test on the streets of Warren, Ohio. As a mechanical engineer, when he was dissatisfied the Winton car he had had bought, and gave his criticsms to the manufacturer, it is said that Alexander Winton gave him a curt reply suggesting that he build his own, if he thought he could do better. It took fourteen months for the Packard brothers, with two men hired from Winton, to produce what became known as the Packard Model A. It had high wire wheels, was steered by a tiller rather than a wheel, and was powered by a single-cylinder engine under the seat. Packard had invented the automatic spark advance as an improvement. He sold the car for $1250, and thus began in business.

    MOTORWAY M1
    November 6, 1959 - England, UK

    The first two deaths occurred on England's first motorway, the M1. It had been opened only four days earlier on 2 Nov 1959. Two lorry drivers died when they crashed into the back of vehicles halted by a minor crash. In the multiple-vehicle crash which occurred in thick fog, five persons were injured. The new superhighway without a speed limit had traffic jams in both directions for several hours. It was the first part of a planned 400-mile motorway network that was the greatest road transport improvement project since the famous straight roads the Romans built. It was a quarter-century late by international standards, but its design benefitted from knowledge gained from expressways already built in the U.S. and Europe.

    about Eyesight Myth and Fact

    Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes. Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable.

Email marketing and your website :

Choose Your Color :

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

Your email should contain appropriate phrases that will get people to do what you want which, in this case, is to click on a link. Be creative with the anchor text of the link to encourage people to click on it.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

Email marketing is that type of promotion that can bring you profit at very low price. It brings result but you do not have to spend much money on the strategies. Probably it is one of the cheapest marketing strategies available in the market. But one drawback of this type of business promotion is spamming. Whenever you hear this word one word automatically enters in your mind and that is spam. And for this very reason a good businessman always shy away from this type of promotion activity. But the fact is that spam and email marketing is not similar but in actuality these to are completely different and not using it as part of your marketing campaign could prove to be a mistake because it does bring results and is one of the cheapest marketing strategies available.

Now we will discuss how one can be benefited from email marketing. The first one is you have to determine your target audience. Sending mass email indiscriminately can indeed get some peoples attention but almost everyone knows that it is a spam. And therefore this type of marketing can ultimately bring you no concrete profit. So it is a big no no. The most effective people to email would be existing customers/subscribers. Referred leads are also good targets of email marketing. But always remember though that whether you email existing customers or potential clients you should always put an easy way for people to unsubscribe from the mailing list.

The second one is you have to be sure that the email gets noticed. It is always best to put the company name or website name under the mail to let the recipient know who the email is from at a glance. Put the most important info on the subject line but make sure you keep it short. Use your subject like a way that can make your subjects attractive and not boring. And not only should this work but it also gives an indication as to the content of the email.

Informative content of your email will attract your subscriber?s attention. So make sure that your customers have a valuable content before them which is provided with your email informing them important announcements regarding new things on your website, exclusive promo codes, industry news, informative articles, and even birthday greetings. So if you keep on sending them plain ads then it can also happen that your loyal subscribers will start to ignore your messages only by deleting them even unnoticed.

You have to organize the information about your website. People don?t always read the entire email so make sure you place the most important information you want conveyed at the start of the email. If you are sending an image make sure you still put at least a short text content before the image to get the attention of people whose email service automatically block images from being viewed so that they will want to manually see the image at least. This would not let your image go unnoticed.
