Comments on: [IPD] Calendar Again http://blog.mattmecham.com/2006/11/13/ipd-calendar-again/ A utopia of randomness from a bloke who develops internet software and is also a dad Thu, 26 Jan 2012 07:08:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Paul http://blog.mattmecham.com/2006/11/13/ipd-calendar-again/comment-page-1/#comment-2394 Paul Thu, 15 Mar 2007 16:16:30 +0000 http://www.mattmecham.com/blog1/2006/11/13/ipd-calendar-again/#comment-2394 I personally cannot wait for the release of IPD and the rest of the new packages, at the moment there is a gap in the market for these products and they will slip in very nicely. Although it all boils down to the 4 P’s of marketing... Product, Price, Place, promotion, these all have to link together nicely, if the product is too expensive people will not buy it because it’s out of their price range. If the product is not promoted correctly, this could potentially cause lack of interest. At the moment IP.Dynamic and IP.NEXUS has been given as much hype as possible which has caught a lot of interest, we all know IPD has a lot of potential and highly customisable, although if the price of the product is out of the scope of peoples price range, this could be damaging. I would suggest considering variations of packages which would increase IPS profits. Standalone Licences as well as Business Licences, instead of selling the whole bundle as one package I would highly recommend separating the package into variations. Examples: Standalone Licence IP.Dynamic Community Licence IP.Board, IP.Blog, IP.Gallery Standalone Licence IP.Nexus and so on, if you catch what I’m suggesting.

Say you load up the site in the morning and you've got a meeting starting in 30 mins, can you set it to overlay (because popup windows are so last century ;)) a reminder on a brightly coloured background? It does look fantastic and, if the public beta looks as good all round then I may be purchasing the odd copy for clients. Carry on with the good work!
