Carbon Emissions Trading Markets Worldwide

Carbon emissions have been traded, albeit at minor levels, in the over-the-counter (OTC) market since the 1990s. In recent years, significant global governmental involvement in the stabilization of the concentration of atmospheric greenhouse gases has facilitated tremendous growth in the market for carbon emissions trading. The value of the carbon market has grown from $727 million in 2004 to $118 billion in 2008. In addition to the foundational regulatory organizations that have established the framework of the market, and the pre-requisite buyers and sellers, the magnitude and evolving complexity of the global carbon markets has attracted numerous intermediaries, such as brokers, exchanges, aggregators, and financiers, as well as other peripheral participants such as validation and verification, information and analysis, legal, and consulting service providers.

Small Business Marketing – Timeliness Pays Off

April 26th, 2010

Looking for fresh marketing ideas that will draw customers’ attention like the aroma of homemade cinnamon rolls? Check the news. Current event pairings can make for unique and creative marketing campaigns.

Oregon Urology Institute leveraged timeliness to an impressive turn when it made an appeal to men who settle in front of the TV for two days straight for each round of the NCAA’s March Madness basketball tournament: use the time you spend planted in front of your big screen to recover from a vasectomy.

According to a report on FOXNews.com, the institute reserved 12 slots each for March 19 and 26, the days before two rounds of the tournament. It had filled fifteen slots by March 10, and an institute administrator said he anticipated filling all 24 slots. A sports radio ad promoted a “patient recovery kit” comprising a bundle of sports magazines, a free pizza delivery coupon and a therapeutic bag of frozen peas. Genius.

Consider the time you spend reading the Sunday paper, watching the 11 o’clock news or surfing Internet news sites to be market research, and twist interesting stories into marketing angles. You don’t have to wait for major national events or professional sports tournaments for the chance to promote your business.

Snowstorm on the way? Offer two-for-one DVD rentals, 20% off snuggly blankets, or activity packs for those sure-to-be-bored kids. New obesity report just out? Advertise a “Wiggly Workout” class at your fitness center, just for out-of-shape guys. Big box home improvement store setting up shop down the street? Time to remind the locals about your painting or carpentry services (you don’t think they really want to DIY, do you?).

As anyone with a TV or computer around Super Bowl season can tell you, current events and news stories can spark ideas for fun, unusual and attention-grabbing marketing campaigns. You never know when something that pops up in the news may inspire a marketing idea to pop up in your head. When it does, run with it.
