Continuous Analyses Websites and Webinars Create a Powerful New Sales Tool
for Ultrapure Water Suppliers
McIlvaine is launching a series of Continuous Analyses websites. Each is focused
on a narrow subject. The overt purpose is to help purchasers make the best
decisions. The result is also to create a new and attractive route to market for
ultrapure water companies. Marketers are always attempting to create more pull
and less need for push. This route creates maximum pull. The goal is to make
each site the default starting point for the purchaser, so inquiries are self
generating. The webinars provide direct interaction with the decision makers.
The accompanying email program keeps the purchaser continually aware of
developments.The websites already launched are:
Gas Turbine Air Treatment Continuous Analyses
Gas Turbine Emission Control - Continuous Analyses
Dry Scrubbing - Continuous Analyses
Mercury Removal - Continuous Analyses
Hot Gas Filters - Continuous Analyses
Degasification and Demineralization
Power Plant Cooling - Continuous Analyses
Power Plant Valves - Continuous Analyses
Steam Generator - Continuous Analyses
CCR and Effluent - Continuous Analyses
The degasification and demineralization site is directly focused on ultrapure
water (UPW). The steam generator website focuses on boiler feedwater treatment.
These sites are a unique way to communicate UPW successes and availability of
products for these specific applications.
Access to each website is free to anyone. The intelligence system with all the
background information is also free with no password required. Additional
papers, presentations, etc. are invited. This includes text in other languages
as long as an English summary is included. A special emphasis will be given to
capturing the intelligence being generated in China.
There will be periodic webinars on each subject. Webinars are free to plant
owner/operators, but there is a charge for others. Here is the near-term
schedule: Hot Topic Hour Schedule
Great advantage can be achieved just with use of the free opportunities.
However, this powerful new route warrants consideration of the McIlvaine custom
program to maximize the benefits of this new system.

sales program.

China
Nearly every story about Chinas extraordinary growth over the past 30 years

b. Chinas long-term growth record in unsurpassed in modern history. (The
remaining text is not included in this sample.)

to the EY Economic Eye. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Nigeria
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, has said the
recent rebasing of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) will support its
quest to be among the top 20 nations by 2020.
According to Emefiele, the exercise which placed the size of the Nigerian

Russia
Russia's gross domestic product growth forecast of 0.5% for 2014 may be revised
