Last year spending on mobile ads was $ 871 million worldwide according to lnforma Telecoms & Media, a research firm, compared with $ 24 billion spent on internet advertising and $450 billion spent on all advertising. But marketers are hailing the mobile phone as advertising's promised land. It is destined, some say, to replace not only internet advertising,the latest fad, but also television, radio, print and billboards, the four traditional pillars of the business.BThe 2.5 billion mobile phones around the world can potentially reach a much bigger audience than the planet's billion or so personal computers. The number of mobile phones in use is also growing much faster than the number of computers, especially in poorer countries. Furthermore, most people carry their mobile with them everywhere—something that cannot be said of television or computers.CYet the biggest selling point of mobile ads is what marketing types call ' relevance' . Advertisers believe that about half of all traditional advertising does not reach the right audience. But mobile advertising through text messages is the most focused: if marketers use mobile firms' profiles of their customers cleverly enough, they can tailor their advertisements to match each subscriber's habits.DIn September, Blyk, a new mobile operator, launched a service in Britain that aims to do just that. It offers subscribers 2]7 free text messages and 43 free minutes of voice calls per month as long as they agree to receive six advertisements by text message every day. To sign up for the service,customers must fill out a questionnaire about their hobbies and habits. So advertisers can target their messages very precisely. ' Britain is the largest, but also the trickiest European ad market, so if it works here it will work everywhere,' says Pekka Ala-Pietila, chief executive and one of the founders of Blyk.Customers are rewarded in return for text message advertisements on their mobile phones.【正确答案】：D【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】“顾客因为手机上的短信广告而得到一定的回报。

At the industry's recent annual conference, he focused his talk on Customer Relationship Marketing (CRM).According to Swan, existing customers are between, three and eight times more likely to buy than a non-customer with the same profile, so increasing customer loyalty is important: if you record the measurements of someone's jeans,next time you can offer them a pair that fit exactly; note which hotel guests'ask for ice intheir drinks and produce it next time they visit. Although it is essential for effective CRM to record customer information on a good computer database, the real skill is in interpreting what your customers tell you and knowing what promises they think you have made.Swan believes that success requires an equal mix of market research, delivering what the customer expects, finding any weak areas in the system and asking customers for their after sales opinions and suggestions.

Interprise is an EU agency that encourages cross-border business cooperation. It is like a "dating agency" that tries to match people who are looking for love. Interprise helps business to find partners in other countries to join in trading or distribution arrangements.The agency's task is to set up face-to-face meetings with business counterparts from other countries. This is how it works. The agency gets a request from a company,known as the "host company" (like a person who hosts a party), to help it find overseas companies. The host company creates a theme, that is, to say exactly what it wants. The Agency then helps it to team up with more host companies from at least two other EU regions who are looking for similar partners.The Agency then publicizes the coming event to attract as many "guests" (visitors) as possible, that is, companies who might be interested in partnerships with the host companies. To do this, Interprise produces, an " Interprise Catalogue" in which the host companies describe themselves and say what kind of partner they are looking for, for example, "a partner in Germany to distribute our products". The EU covers part of the running costs of the event, up to 70,000~ Euros. In order to reach as many people as possible, the agency works through local Chambers of Commerce, who in turn publicize the event to their own members. Each member of Commerce is expected to bring at least fifteen companies. A recent Interprise event and over 200 registered visitors.But Interprise is not an easy idea' to "sell". It is not a trade fair in the usual sense. The average trade fair is like window-shopping: firms set out their goods, and visitors look around to see if there's anything they want. With Interprise, everything is carefully arranged in advance.Foreign companies want a full programme of meetings -- and with the right people.It is too early to say if Interprise is a success, but comments from both host companies and visitors have been very positive, "I've a pocketful of business cards and have made several useful contacts..""Great. We have met some firms that are really interested in becoming distributors. " Of course, they might have made useful contacts at an ordinary trade fair,except that it would have been only by chance.What is Interprise?A.another word for ' enterprise'B.a dating agencyC.a way of matching companies59、 The purpose of an Interprise event is toA.buy and sell products.B.meet others with similar interests.C.travel to other countries.60、 Interprise catalogues are distributedA.during an Interprise event.B.after an Interprise event.C.before an Interprise event.61、 The role of Chambers of Commerce is toA.welcome visitors to the event.B.find the host companies.anize the Interprise event.62、 An Interprise event is different from a trade fair becauseA.people meet face to face.B.meetings are planned before the event.C.the EU pays for part of the running costs.63、 Host companies are happy with an Interprise event if they areA.made useful contacts.B.promoted their business.C.distributed their product.PARI SIX：Questions 29-4064、 For each question64-75, mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.RSh Health Problems at the KeyboardDo you use a keyboard in your job?
