Parreira: Failure in 2014 'unthinkable' for Brazil

By TALES AZZONI

AP Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 4:41 p.m. ET April 2, 2012

SAO PAULO (AP) -Former Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira said Monday that anything less than winning the World Cup title would be considered a failure for his country in 2014.

Parreira said Brazil has an obligation to win the World Cup at home and that there won't be excuses good enough to justify not doing that.

"We have the responsibility, we have to win the World Cup in Brazil," Parreira told the SporTV channel. "It's unimaginable, unthinkable for Brazil not to win the World Cup here. There is no other option."

He said Brazil will have to be able to cope with the heightened expectations from local fans wanting to see the national team do well.

"The pressure will be enormous," Parreira said. "The team will have to be prepared to deal with the impatience from fans. Brazil will have to be perfect both on and off the field."

The 69-year-old Parreira led the national team to the 1994 World Cup title and also coached the 2006 team when it was eliminated in the quarterfinals in Germany.

Parreira said the London Olympics will give coach Mano Menezes a "golden chance" to test players for the World Cup, but when it's over he should start focusing on preparing the team and stop experimenting with his choice of players.

"Until the Olympics, you have to make tests because you only see a player's potential by watching him play," Parreira said. "But after that you will have very few opportunities and you need to establish your team and work with it."

The Olympics is the only significant football competition that Brazil has yet to win.

Parreira also said he thinks two-time FIFA player of the year Ronaldinho has lost his desire, and that is keeping him from performing to his previous high standards.

"He needs to have the passion to become a top player again and to play in the national team," the former coach said. "If he doesn't have that, he won't work for the World Cup."

Ronaldinho, who played for Parreira at the 2006 World Cup, has been consistently selected by Menezes but has received heavy criticism for his poor performances with Brazilian club Flamengo.

"Ronaldinho hasn't forgotten how to play football," Parreira said. "When he wants, he can still play memorable matches."

Internet Marketing Tips And Advice For Businesses | Wordpress ...

Once you begin your journey into a web business and making Aaron Darko Money Replication Engine, Online Stock Profits Bonus a part of it, then you will fast figure out the need to choose one thing out of several possibilities every single working day. If this is your very first business pursuit, then early on will usually determine how well-suited you are for the task.

Lots of entrepreneurs today use Internet marketing to increase business revenues. Article marketing is a great way to increase traffic to your site. If you want to know more about internet marketing, or how to use it effectively, read this article.

Discounting prices with affiliate retailers can be a way to gain a denser customer base. You can link together accounts and make your sales go up. An example of this would be using an online book agent. They help to negotiate prices for people to make sure they get the best rates on things like airfare, hotels and car rentals. This idea is perfect for any company that has linked products that complement each other, but are not seen as competitors.

Including some samples or some discount coupons with the product you ship is a good idea. Just make sure the samples and coupons somehow tie into the product you shipped. This will make your customers come back to your site.

Keep tabs on the most common words used in your niche, then use those words in your marketing copy to show that you know what you are talking about. Your customers will feel closer to your brand. Make them feel ?at home? with your products and services. Using appropriate vocabulary will allow for an easier time brand messaging.

Make sure that your website is unique and attention grabbing. There are billions of websites, so if yours looks like all the others, you won?t make many sales. One way to begin distinguishing your website from others is to emphasize a service you offer that no one else does.

A sense of security is important to many online shoppers. Make sure your customers know that your site is super secure and that their personal data is not at risk! You should have an accessible privacy policy visible on every page of your website. Customers are more likely to take part in online purchasing transactions if they feel that their details are protected. They will be more likely to purchase what you?re selling if they know you are protecting their identity.

It?s not imperative to spend thousands of dollars on a marketing consultant. A quick search on the internet can offer many free resources to help you with your marketing needs. Some examples including attending local conferences and workshops on business development, participating in online business forums, finding e-books on the subject and reading blogs about marketing.

Luck is not the basis for success ? determination and effort are. That?s especially true in internet marketing and in business. You would be hard pressed to find a business that will attribute their success to the forces of fate. Think of any major brand name. Did they just get lucky? We know that is not the case. They put in long hours and a lot of hard work marketing their product.

Tracking sentiment around online events, promotions or other initiatives your brand conducts is important for tailoring future Internet marketing strategies. After you have launched your online promotion event, keep track of the way people are responding to it on forums and blogs. Incorporate your customers advice as a way to make your customers feel that they are respected.

Create a website that is laid out well with highly visible links. The format can make your site visible and helpful to visitors most interested in what it offers.

If customers spend above a certain amount, you should offer them additional discounts to maximize basket size. For example, you can offer your customers a 10 percent discount on all orders over $200. People will be even more likely to buy more of your products.

Your ad should incorporate the term ?limited.? People buy things over the internet because they want something new and different. Some people want things no one else has. If something is a limited edition, people will understand that it?s going to sell out quicker and that they are most likely not going to be able to find something similar elsewhere.

You should back your products and offer a guarantee to your customer base. Even though some guarantees aren?t worth the paper or pixels they are printed on, people want to be assured that they aren?t throwing away their money when they buy something. A guarantee helps them feel better about buying from you than they would from a competitor that doesn?t offer the guarantee.

One often-overlooked way to build more web traffic is by keeping your website simple. Professional website designers often use multimedia tools such as Microsoft Silverlight and Adoble Flash as ways of tempting novice website owners. Smart owners are aware that not all users are interested in dealing with this kind of technology. A website should be fully functional without such flashy bells and whistles.

Although it is good to have many social network profiles, make sure to give each one sufficient attention. Stagnant profiles are useless and are often seen as spam.

Knowing your competition is vital in internet marketing. Every niche has competition no matter what it is.

You could also bundle the merchandise with similar products and sell it at a discounted price. Just be sure that any terms and conditions are clearly stated in marketing materials.

Remember to be patient when you first work with a new niche. Know what you?re doing first, so that you can take appropriate steps toward success.

Zardari to visit Ajmer in India

Last Updated: Sun, Apr 01, 2012 23:31 hrs

"); } } } //end of function // -->

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari would visit Ajmer in India on April 8 to offer prayer at the shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti amid reports that the opportunity could be used by the host country to pursue diplomacy.

While the visit is purely a private one for Zardari, media reports on Sunday said efforts are on from Indian side to arrange a meeting between the former and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Zardari can bring 12 of his family members during the visit, reports said.

While the Indian Prime Minister met his Pakistan counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani in recent times (as recent as on Mar 27 last in Seoul), he had last met Zardari in July 2009 on the sidelines of the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in Russia.

Nuclear armed neighbours India and Pakistan are talking since early 2010 now with foreign secretary level talks held last year in June.

During the World Cup semifinal in Mohali between Pakistan and India in March 2011, Singh and Gilani had met one the sidelines and over dinner in the much touted cricket diplomacy.

An informal meeting between Singh and Gilani also happened in Seoul on Mar 27 on the sidelines of Nuclear Security Summit.

The two nations are keen to normalize trade relations.

Talks between India and Pakistan were broken after the 26/11 attack in Mumbai in Nov 2008 when Pakistani terrorists launched several coordinated strikes in vital places of India?s financial heart and two luxury hotels, killing 166 people and wounding more than 300.

LATEST NEWS Why Online Marketing http://www.nessbasch.com ...

BREAKING NEWS?For more than a decade, sales strategists have been advising businesses to take their marketing online. Forward-looking companies have heeded this message.

However,?many businesses still prefer traditional media?such as TV, radio and newsprint. So while typical consumers might spend 25% of their media time surfing the Web, these companies might only be investing 5% or so of their marketing budgets on websites and other online promotions.

These businesses need to get with the times and accelerate their investments on the Internet, especially during the downturn. Here are a few good reasons why.

Go to Your Customers

It?s a given in marketing that you need to be where your customers are. So where are your customers these days? More and more, they?re spending their leisure time online.

North Americans are among the biggest users of the Internet, notes a?recent report on eMarketer. more than 69% of Canadians and almost 65% of Americans are Internet users.

Most of these Internet users spend at least one hour a day online for personal reasons. Yes, they?re checking e-mail and managing their online profiles. But they?re also checking out products and services

Targeted?and?Global Reach

The Internet is hyped as a medium with global reach that is available around the clock. While this is true, to market online, you still need to have a good sense of your target market.

Placement or ?position? is key when advertising in traditional media. The same is true online. For instance, if your customers are using popular social media such as Facebook or Twitter, you should be using them as well.

Get Results Cheaper and Faster

There?s a reason the postal service is called ?snail mail.? When you factor in the environmental costs of traditional mailouts (paper, printing, fossil fuels), e-mail marketing looks very clean indeed.

Your marketing budget is only so big: where will you spend it? TV and radio spots are expensive, and these media channels are becoming increasingly fragmented. Online marketing, in contrast, is very cost-effective.

For example, radio advertising can require $3,000 to $6,000 per week. Meanwhile, you can get your website optimized for search engines and conduct online marketing campaigns for just a fraction of the cost.

Papers are Yesterday?s News

Will print newspapers survive the economic downturn? Several major U.S. dailies, including the?Rocky Mountain News?and the?Seattle Post-Intelligencer, have already ceased publishing; others are threatened.

In early March 2009, 24/7 Wall St. predicted that ?eight of the 50 largest daily newspapers in the United States could cease publication in the next 18 months.? See its list of the?10 major U.S. papers that will fold or go digital next.

Even newsprint staples such as the Yellow Pages are starting to look like relics. In October 2008, TMP Directional Marketing?reported?that U.S. consumers searching for local businesses chose search engines (31%) over print directories (30%) for?the first time ever.

The key word there is?local, which applies directly to small businesses. And you can bet that your competitors are aware of this trend

It?s Time to Adapt

Showing some prescience, John Quelch of Harvard Business School, writing for the Financial Times of London in 2008, provided?8 tips for marketing in a recession.

The business prof concluded: ?Successful companies do not abandon their marketing strategies in a recession; they adapt them.?

So the key question is, in recessionary times, how are you adapting?your?marketing strategies to include more marketing on the Web?
