Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Creating Mailing List in B2C


Dear Team,

During our Review Meeting yesterday , we spent some time discussing :
How can we bring about , the concept of, “ Zeroing In / Targeting / Filtering / Narrowing Down “ , while creating a Mailing List ?
How can we make this process , a dynamic , visually appealing animation ?
We are starting with a very large database ( records / resumes ) of CONSUMERS ( jobseekers ) – 47 lakhs to begin with and , may be another 100 lakhs to be added soon
Then filtering this database to generate the desired Demographic Profile , which is of interest to the Message-Sender
As each Selection Criteria gets “ applied “ , the database “ shrinks “
Each subsequent application of an additional criteria , will further reduce the database
Creator of the Mailing List should be able to SEE such sequential reductions , visually ( apart from displaying the corresponding NUMBER in text )
He should be able to “ De-Select “ any criteria , any time and Narrow ( tighten ) or Widen ( loosen ) , a given criteria , at any time and , instantly SEE its effect

Simplest methods would be a Visual Display of either ,
Ø Concentric Circles ,     or

Ø Concentric Squares

You will find many examples of these by entering these Search Terms in Google and searching under “ Images
With application of each “ Selection Criteria “ the starting circle will shrink
De-selection will restore it to its earlier state
You may also want to take a look at the following link :

One can also show an image consisting of ( say ) 7 groups ( corresponding to 7 Selection Criteria ? ) of 5 people-images each, where one group is standing in the centre , surrounded by 6 other groups ( a hexagonal arrangement ? )
To begin with , all 7 groups are visible in the image
As each Selection Criteria gets “ applied “ , one of the surrounding group ( of 5 persons ) “disappears “ !
Ultimately , only the CENTRAL group of 5 persons remains –the target group

If we cannot pull this off right now , then we may make a beginning with simple concentric circles
