For example: if a product for sale is a kind of graphic format converter from gif to jpg, try to advertise in the forum’s members which is the design have many graphics or websites that discuss about the design.

* Place ads in Google Adwords via Google

If you want to promote freely, you can do SEO optimization to your website and you can post a signature to promote software ad in the forum freely (but remember do not spam forum, because it is not ethical).

* Upload your software to popular download website
Some download software website such as: Download.com, Tucows.com, SnapFiles.com and many more other websites. And one of the benefits indirectly we can get a backlink to our website from popular website such as download.com. Beside that, our software will also be published on their network sites like:
ABC News, AT & T Worldnet, BellSouth, CNET International sites, CompuServe, EarthLink, Froogle (products with Buy Now buttons only), MSN, MSN Canada, PeoplePC, Shareware.com, TechRepublic, WindowsAtoZ, Winfiles.com.

There is also free service of download.com, but the processing time is sometimes long, for more details check in Upload.

* Create an affiliate program with the system for the commission for the referral resell of our software. You can also market through famous affiliate broker, for example paydotcom.com, regnow.com, shareit.com, etc. Indeed, this will reduce our profits, but that can increase sales volume, so I think this is one of very effective ways.

He said that there isn’t the best solution for any business. But generally, there is the strategy that can be used in recession period.

If the condition of company is unstable, the finance is weak, the marketing is strong, find the fresh financial capital and cut overhead cost, then renegotiate with suppliers and do recovery actions.

But, if the company is going to go to bankruptcy, just close it. Then save what can be saved or sell if you can sell.

According to Fan in Cellular News, on Tuesday (15/7/2008), 106 of iPhone buyers in United States, only five people, or 4.7 percent are Blackberry users. In fact, three of that number don’t intend to sell their Blackberry after buying Apple iPhone. That is, only 1.9 percent of the value of any possibility to use Blackberry.
“About 30 percent of 106 people use Motorola and Samsung. With each contributing is 15 percent,” said Fan.

Then, in UK, from 222 people who purchased the iPhone, only eight people or 3.6 per cent claiming to have it switch from Blackberry to iPhone. Only one person is interested in using them, iPhone and Blackberry. However, 18 percent of these respondents claim to have a corporate Blackberry so that they can not take down the handset made by Research in Motion(Rim).

“From 222 people in UK, the 28 percent is former Nokia users, while 20 percent is former Sony Ericsson users,” Fan explained. Fan detailed more about this research, although the research is limited, but it can prove that the market segment of Blackberry and iPhone users is very different so it will not become a significant threat to Rim.

In above countries, the majority of iPhone 3G buyers have used first version of iPhone. In UK is about 29 percent and in United States is about 37 percent. Even, some iPhone operator in several countries also sells Blackberry handset as alternative of iPhone by selling Blackberry with cheaper price. For example, the T-Mobile of United States reduced the price of Blackberry Curve by USD 50, to USD 99.
