Number ONE :
In the screen shot that you sent yesterday , No of Companies listed
against Ahmedabad = 10,611
It is possible that Mumbai could have 20,000 companies
Now imagine that a subscriber selects MUMBAI , for blasting his
message , but his Credit Balance = 5643 emails only !
Obviously , we cannot allow him to click " BLAST MESSAGE
" button
Instead a message ( as follows ) must flash :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Subscriber,
Your Account Credit Balance is insufficient to blast your
message to ( CITY )
We suggest you " Re-Charge Your Account " right away ,
OR
Select another City
Team B2B
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number Two :
By its very facilitating nature , " Blast Message -
City wise " is likely to be used again and again , by Small / Medium
Companies , whose client companies are within the SAME city
They may blast the same message ( again and again ) or blast a
new / different message , each time - whenever they have something NEW to offer
/ announce
But , when they return for a fresh blast after 5 / 7 weeks ,
they may not remember , WHICH message they had blasted ( to companies in this
City ) , and WHEN
Of course , we are providing these details in " View Your Blasted Messages " page
Still , just by way of Help , I suggest that , at the bottom of the page write-up , you provide a NOTICE such
as :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you start blasting , do look up your past Message Blasting
History at page .." View Your Blasted
Messages " - especially if you are planning to blast to the SAME
set of Companies , in the SAME city
Very FREQUENT blasting of the
SAME message to the SAME companies , can be Counter - Productivity
Make sure that your Message is re-worded
for better impact
For introducing Freshness / Novelty , add a Image / Photo , to your
Message

I believe , for Country = India , we have approx 2,000 cities
That will mean , a huge list with a vertical scrawl
Or some " Numbering System " like...[ Previous
< 1 2 3 4 > Next ] at the
bottom of drop list of ( say ) , 20 city names
You are the best judge to decide
Even as you are thinking up of some plan , in this regard ,
please consider following COLUMNS for that CITY drop list :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Srl No........... City Name...............................
No of Companies....................... Cumulative Percentage of Total Companies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How will this help ?
Here is how :
For INDIA , we believe , there are 2,000 cities , and 2,50,000
companies
Now , the 20:80 Rule says that ,
20% of the cities will , ( approx ) cover 80% of the companies
That means , some 400 Cities should cover approx 200,000 companies
{ can be easily checked out , if you construct
above-mentioned TABULATION from our database }
So , the " CUMULATIVE
Percentage " in the last column against... CITY SERIAL # 400 .. should read around..80%...!
This rule is supposed to be holding GOOD for all Binomial
Distribution Curves
Now , imagine Central Government Ministries , such as :
> Commerce Ministry (
Amitabh Kant ) wanting to send out Message to INDIAN COMPANIES re
" Make In India "
> Finance Ministry (
Arun Jaitley ) wanting to send out a Circular re " ADVANCE CORPORATE TAXATION "
, to all INDIAN Companies
> Industry Minister wanting to alert Indian Companies re
" Relaxation in Land Acquisition
Rules "
> Piyush Goyal ( Power Minister ) ,
wanting to announce " Incentives for
Setting up Solar Power Plants "
The list is huge !
They will , all , like / appreciate , the type of Tabulation ,
described above
I would not be surprised if a lot of our Subscriber "
Companies " too , like this tabulation
Pl consider

If a Subscriber keeps selecting ONE city at a time and blasting
, how will he remember which Cities he has already selected AND blasted so far
?
He may end up blasting to same city TWICE !
We have to prevent this
How ?

* I suppose , a Subscriber , can blast messages to only
ONE city , at a time . What I mean - he would NOT be allowed to Multiple Select
I am assuming that , after selecting any ONE city ,
he would have to click BLAST button , BEFORE he can select another city
I presume , this will reduce load
* Pl ensure that the drop list of CITIES , is always
arranged in the DESCENDING order of the No of Companies in the city
* I have also requested that , as soon as Subscriber selects any
ONE city , another page/box pops up and displays , just" NUMBER of
Companies" ( in that selected City ) , against each of the 52 Industry
Names
Of course , in this pop up box , nothing is CLICKABLE
Only purpose of this pop up box , is to give to the Subscriber ,
a broad / general IDEA as to the Industries getting covered
If there are any questions , feel free to phone

Dear
Sir,
Please
find attached screen shot for Blast Message city wise page.
Regards,
Nitin
Ruge
Shuklendu,
I refer to
our telecon , a few minutes back re " PROTOTYPE U/I " for
this page
I hope
Satish will send it to me before lunch today
In the
meantime , I thought , it may help if I send you a draft of page write up , to
help you understand what we wish to convey to the Subscriber / Visitor
That write
up should clearly bring out ,
>
For WHOM is this page ?
>
HOW does this page make user's life SIMPLE ?
Please look
at the following DRAFT . Feel free to modify as you like

BLAST MESSAGE - CITY WISE
Dear
Visitor / Subscriber :
There
will be many among you , whose Clients ( other Businesses / Companies /
Organizations etc ) , are located in your own city only
For
whatever reasons , you do NOT offer your products / services , outside of the
city where you are located
Most
( - although not ALL ) , Self - Employed ( hyperlink ) persons would come under
this category
Here
are some examples of Micro / Small ( SME ) companies whose Business Clients are
also , mostly LOCAL :
*
Restaurants
*
Pathology Labs
*
Courier Services
*
Security Services
*
Delivery Services
*
Car Rental Services
*
Real Estate Agencies
*
Office Stationary Suppliers
*
Event Management Services
*
Maintenance Services of all kinds
*
Travel Agencies / Tour Operators
*
Recruitment / Manpower Supply Agencies.......etc
To
promote their business ( market their products / services ), the only criteria that
matter to them , are :
>
Potential Buyers ( of my product / services ) should be other BUSINESSES /
COMPANIES
>
That Business / Company is located in my own city
For
these SMEs , it does NOT matter at all , what is the business activity (
INDUSTRY ) of that potential customer !
All
that that you need to do is :
>
Select your pre-composed message
>
Select the " Country "
>
Select any " City Name " from the " Select City " ( arranged
as per descending no of companies in cities )
>
click " BLAST MESSAGE "
Your
Message will get delivered to ALL the companies in the selected city -
whatever may be their business activities
When
you Blast Message from this page , you give up the option of being able to
select SPECIFIC companies within a city
(
For that option , go to " Blast Message - Corporate " page )
But
then , if you are not bothered about specific companies , you save many hours
when you blast from this page !
with
regards,
