American Marketing Association Releases Research on New Media Marketing Strategies in Anticipation of Mplanet™ and Holiday Shopping Season

New research conducted by the American Marketing Association (AMA) revealed a narrowing gap between social networking and e-commerce. In preparation for its first-ever Mplanet™ (Nov. 29-Dec. 1), AMA is releasing a series of research reports that measure consumer attitudes toward new online mediums, the best channels by which to reach today's savvy consumer, and how they are finding out about the newest and hottest products this holiday season.

"With Black Friday upon us and the holiday shopping season officially here, marketers need to take notice of some interesting trends related to consumer attitudes," said Dennis Dunlap, Chief Executive Officer of the American Marketing Association.

AMA is releasing the research as a precursor to its inaugural Mplanet, where the topic of morphing media and channels is one of six content themes at the heart of the program. With more than 30 program sessions and over 60 speakers, Mplanet's program was strategically designed to enable marketers to explore new solutions and hear about future trends that will impact 2007 and beyond. The content for Mplanet was developed in collaboration with strategic partners McKinsey and Co., The Wharton School and Spencer Stuart.

VSC Kicks Off August Shortbread Challenge, Promises 10% to Charity

The slowest month in the gourmet gift sales calendar is now a food entrepreneur's vision realized. Ann Zuccardy of Vermont Shortbread Company announces the official launch of her August Shortbread Challenge, a summertime promotion designed to turn the gourmet gift market on its head while generating funds for charity.

But where other company owners might buckle under the pressure, Zuccardy took matters into her own hands. In the midst of personal chaos, she announced the August Shortbread Challenge -- a goal of 100 shortbread gift box sales in the month of August, thereby penning the happy ending to her own shortbread story.
