Bethesda List Center is pleased to announce a new list,  China Wireless News Enewsletter Subscribers. The  publication is a BDL Media publication.

This list has  7,400 email subscribers who read the English  language publication. This weekly publication covers the exploding world of wireless telecommunications (telecom) in one, if not the largest, markets in the world.  The number of additional cell phones and the infrastructure to support these telephones makes every manufacturer and reseller dizzy with anticipation.

Topics covered in the eNewsletter include:  Information Technology, Electronics, Internet, Law & Policy, IT Security, Software, Stocks, Telecom, and Wireless in China. The readership is heavily upper and technical management in China and in companies who have an interest in the events n there.

All eMails are sent from China, so that many of the deliver-ability  issues are overcome. This means that the time to order, set-up, test and send your campaigns is a bit longer than usual.

Full details are provided on the Bethesda List Center data card which is linked here:

Bethesda List Center announces that Washington Lobbyists from Columbia Books has just updated. This mailing and eMail list permits you to reach the folks who work for companies, governments, non-profits and others who call on the US Congress and other government agencies.

The lobbyists cover a variety of topics – so someone representing a Microsoft of General Electric might have an interest in health care as well as items directly related to their business.

Full details of the mailing list – postal (snail mail) and eMail list are found on the Bethesda List Center website, www.bethesda-list.com with a direct link to the data card for the Washington Lobbyists from Columbia Books at:

You asked, Bethesda List listened!

Now available! A separate data card that details only eMail counts for Columbia Books ‘ Association Executives.

This is the same source file but Bethesda List did not have separate counts that are much closer to what will be sent when the Do-Not-eMail (Can-Spam compliant) list has been applied to the file.

Of course, Bethesda List is required to run your Do Not Email, or,  opt-out file, across the list, but complex counts will closer to the final number actually sent unless you have lots of names on your Do Not E-mail file.

Here is a link to the data card with the full details:

Bethesda List Center has teamed up with BDL Media to make the eMail lists of the subscribers to their eNewsletters available. Most of these subscribers are in China.

These lists are in vertical markets that are sometimes very hard to identify on many lists…. and in most cases, the publications are in English and Chinese versions – so choose your language of promotion.

Also, Bethesda List sends the eMails from China. This means 1) much better delivery from a known and trusted source within China and 2) a significant time delay for North American and European mailers. So plan on a minimum of 3-5 business days to set-up, test and send any promotions.

Here are the Chinese lists available:

China CSR Corporate Social Responsibility in China eNewsletter Subscribers

What is the most important word in a Subject Line?

As with direct mail,  “You or Your” remains a winner.

Here is an article in eMarketer Digital Intelligence discussing that. Other keywords that work in direct mail are good too.. but.. the word “free” is just a knockout by many servers and their spam filters.

Hard to imagine starting at age 16 doing this, but being young he has the energy and time to really devote to the in’s and outs of this topic. This article is really one of the best I have seen on this topic.  http://ow.ly/1aQVi

Tweeter and Corporate Blogging Guru Debbie Weil has a series of talks in Washington on social media topics. Last night the speaker was Anil Dash of MacArthur Foundation funded Expert Labs.

The location, a wired cupcake shop in Georgetown with a pink bike parked out front, thus the name of the series.

Dash says the goal of Expert Labs is to open government (gov 2.0) using social media to LISTEN as well as talk to their audience. His company is currently working with the White House Science and Technology office. So far, no other gov’t agencies, Congress, etc.  Of course, he saw applications in the commercial sector as well.

During the discussion of his project, there was discussion about citizen participants having  to “put on a tie” when talking to gov’t. Really some form of identification and a call for responsible comment.

IMHO, not the way to get folks to participate.  Especially in this over-media hyped environment. Dash mentioned that most issues now activate the legalize pot crowd when comment is called for. So his software is able to collapse issues and summarize.

This new software is designed to have a civil conversation and learned discussion. Good idea, hard, if not impossible, to impliment. That is where Expert Labs software and cloud computing coming in.

Other attendees, in discussion with me, felt the whole conversation with all 305+ million Americans, in theory, was 20-30 years away due to computer limitations. I don’t think it’s the computer limitations but the fear of government, the certainty that everyone thinks they know best that is factor to slow this “group listening.”

I live and work in the Washington area and see plenty of boldface political people in  everyday life – at the supermarket, the gym, getting coffee and whatnot. They generally seem to be genuine but all too often, their objectives are driven by many things, the least of which is direct public input. Even for good ideas.

That is hard nut to crack. Did the Constitutional founders expect us to run everything by opinion poll? Or was it their belief that even a “common man” can do the job of representative in Congress by voting and shaping legislation he believes best represents his voters and any other groups he is representing.
