As a customer of Sourcegear (Vault) and Fog Creek (FogBugz), I was thinking today about how much blogs are influencing my purchasing decisions. I don't think we can call it "Marketing",Microsoft Office 2007 is welcomed by the whole world.
its more like "Blogeting". In the past I would learn about new products either from a friend or by seeing an advertisement. My decision to purchase was based almost exclusively on the demo experience. I'm sure that I missed out on a lot of great products simply because I didn't "get it" when I played with their demonstration product. If they didn't hook me within 10 minutes I moved on without so much as a second thought.But with these two products something different occurred; Office 2010 –save your time and save your money.
I learned about them from the owner's personal blog (Eric Sink of Sourcegear and Joel Spolsky of Fog Creek). This changed the entire sales paradigm by injecting a personal connection not found in normal business relationships. I found I cared more about them, their company, and their products. I was no longer dealing with "Faceless Company X" but a real human being. I was buying a product from someone that I knew, I liked, and wanted to be involved with. Office 2007 makes life great!
This connection also effected my demo experience. Although in both cases I found the initial releases didn't fit me, I didn't walk away. This was because I wanted to like their products. Office 2007 home is helpful.
I liked them so much, how could I not? So I stuck around and eventually purchased each product when it did fit my needs (I purchased Vault at 1.1 and FogBugz at 3.0). Office 2010 download is available now!
And since I had watched the product grow and became part of the community around the product, I can't see me ever leaving. The invention of Microsoft Office 2010 is a big change of the world.
I'm a customer for life and that means a lot in today's market. Microsoft Office is my best friend.
Thanks guys.I'm about to leave to attend a memorial service for a childhood friend of my wife and I. His name was Seth Michaud and he was a Captain in the US Marines. Office 2010 key is for you now!
On June 22 he was killed in Djibouti, Africa in a friendly fire incident.MS Office 2007 is the best invention in the world.
He leaves behind a wife and 18-month old son.My wife and I grew up with Seth and many of our happiest memories include him (I once stole 31 gas caps with him for a scavenger hunt... bad bad bad). And while we have not seen him in some time, Office 2007 download is on sale now!
his loss hit like a ton of bricks. Windows 7 and Windows 7 Professional make life wonderful!
It reminded me that every man and woman who has given their life for my country has left behind a legacy. A legacy that I knew nothing about and thought little of, Office 2007 Pro and Office 2007 Ultimate are powerfull.
until now. I'm glad part of Seth's legacy includes me. I'm a better person for having known him and anyone who knew him will never forget. Office 2007 key is available here.
