Hi,

 

Spring 2007 is an exciting time at Desk-Trainer! We have a lot of new features, events and plans to share with you.

 

We would like to start by reminding you to make it a priority to find those 5 minutes at least once or twice a day to log in and do an exercise at Desk-Trainer.com. If you do, not only will your physical condition improve, but you'll feel a new vitality, and will notice better concentration and efficiency. All you need to do is take a couple of short breaks every day to do an exercise and ensure your continued health and well-being!

 

IN THIS ISSUE:

New Carpal Tunnel/wrist pain exercise series Desk-Trainer signs US Marketing agreement  Expanding Affiliate Program with personal referrals Subscription prices to go up in Summer

Special rates for Advertising on Desk-Trainer New Home page Advanced reminder scheduling. Desk-Trainer will exhibit at the EEC conference News and Tips

 

 

Analyzing the traffic we get from search engines and the key words people search for has underlined the importance of expanding our Carpal Tunnel/Wrist (and arm) pain series. Our brain and movement expert Anat Baniel has developed some brilliant exercises to address this very common problem. We recommend that you do the whole series even if you do not suffer wrist pain - it will protect you and make work so much easier, safer and more pleasurable. If you would like to choose these exercises from the list of all exercises, please start with #28 through to #39.

 

At the beginning of May, Desk-Trainer signed a non-exclusive US and Canadian Marketing agreement with Marketech Corp. of Bellaire, Texas. Within days Marketech started negotiations for the Corporate version of Desk-Trainer with over 20 US companies of medium to large size.

If you feel that your company would be interested in offering the benefits of Desk-Trainer to all employees, please contact Marketech for the complete details.

With the cost of producing new content going steadily upwards, we will need to raise the costs of subscription packages. We intend to offer many more exciting exercises, services and features and these will be partially financed by our new subscribers.

We will make sure we are always far more effective and less expensive than other web based training sites. 

Current subscribers and those who join before August 2007 will have special benefits when they Renew their subscriptions. More about that in our next Newsletter.

 

As you may have seen, our new Home Page offers new Advertising areas and similar areas will be added to our inside pages. With some 120,000 page views from over 10,000 visitors a month and 25% of visitors staying at the site over 5 minutes, we believe Desk-Trainer will be an exciting advertising option for many. Memebers will receive a 25% discount on all advertising fees. During the coming 3 months, we are offering advertisers Special Rates for these spaces.

We also offer sponsorships of exercise series, newsletters and other publications at very attractive prices.

 

Over the past several months we have been collecting feedback on the design of the Desk-Trainer website and as a result we have just launched a new home page design.

The design of the new Home Page reflects many of those comments and attempts to make the navigation at Desk-Trainer, smoother, faster and better focused - both for our subscribers and for first time visitors.

Please do not hesitate to let us know what you think of the New Home Page.

 

With many corporations taking interest in Desk-Trainer, we are repeatedly asked for more advanced reminder scheduling: i.e. being able to schedule the exact time of the reminder in whatever time-zone you choose.

This feature will be ready in a few weeks.
