    ALKALINE DRY-CELL PATENT
    November 15, 1960 - U.S.A.

    A U.S. patent was issued for an alkaline dry-cell to P.A. Marsal, Karl Kordesch and Lewis F. Urry who assigned it to the Union Carbide Corporation, the manufacturer of Eveready batteries (No. 2,960,558). Compared to the existing carbon-zinc dry-cells, it offered an appreciable increase in life-span and efficiency during heavy continuous drains. Its construction used an alkaline electrolyte, manganese dioxide as depolarizer, a zinc powder-gel anode, and certain additives such including mercury and electrolyte-creep inhibitors. The patent gave practical details for commercial production. The patent claimed that whereas four cells in series of the carbon-zinc type gave 4.5 volts to power a 1.25-amp bulb for 45-min to 1-hr, the new alkaline design gave good brilliance after 6 to 7 hours.

    DRY-CELL PATENT
    November 15, 1887 - U.S.A.

    German scientist, Dr. Carl Gassner, was issued a U.S. patent (No. 373,064), the first in the U.S. for a "dry" cell. Gassner had already patented his invention in Germany (No. 37,758) on 8 Apr 1886, and also in Austria, Belgium, England, France and Hungary in the same year. The sealed zinc shell which contained all the chemicals was also the negative electrode. Later, he improved the shelf life of the battery by adding zinc chloride to the electrolyte to reduce corrosion of the zinc shell. Gassner's battery was much like the carbon-zinc, general-purpose batteries sold today. By 1896, the National Carbide Company (later Union Carbide and Eveready) produced the first consumer dry cell battery. Two years later, the company made the first D cell.

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.
