10:30 – 11:45 AM • Pricing Strategies that Work: How to Price Everything You Offer for Maximimum Sales
Are you maximizing sales with every product line you have? Traditional newsletters, special reports, videos, audio conferences, webinars, in-person live conferences – all products need your attention for pricing strategy, so that you make the most money possible. Here are some real-life success stories that will get you analyzing your own products and how they are priced to achieve maximum results.

Denise Elliott, The Kiplinger Washington Editor

2:15 – 3:15 PM • Number One Source for New Customers: How to Mine the Gold from Previous Customers
Customer acquisition costs have skyrocketed in recent years, so why wouldn't you focus on marketing effectively the cheapest way? And with list-acquisition costs comprising a large part of the marketing effort, FREE prospects should be irresistible (yes, your own names are FREE to you). Here are some tried-and-true ways to “mine the gold” from your previous customer lists.
Cecilia Saad, Nutrition Action Healthletter
Rebecca Clement, Soundview Executive Book Summaries

3:45 – 5:00 PM • Where Have All the Lists Gone?
The prospect is the most important part of the direct-marketing mix. With traditional sources for obtaining prospects shrinking rapidly, how can specialized-information publishers find new sources for prospects, make best use of what's already out there, and discover new ways to make old sources work again? And hear the contrarian view about how list sizes really aren’t shrinking!
Jim Gribble, Direct Marketing Dynamics
Karen Lake, Lake Group Media
Stefanie Pont, Pont Media Direct

10:15 – 11:15 AM • Magical Words that Make People Beg to Buy from You
Words – in print, on-line, spoken, even the "words" of body language – are some of the most potent marketing materials we all have. Use them correctly, and you'll profit (big time). Misuse them, and you could perish. And the meanings of words can change. So this session will keep you up-to-date on the hot-button words that are working right now to induce people to act.
Mark Everett Johnson, Copywriter

11:30 AM – 12:15 PM • The Marketing Power of Customer Profiling
When you nail down a very precise profile of your typical customer, new ways to find like-minded people will almost come naturally. In this session, you'll learn a lot of ways to personalize the customer profiling process so that all your efforts benefit: new prospecting; retention efforts; editorial direction; even customer service!
Bill Dugan, The Pohly Company
