The November 2008 edition of JCK Magazine features a quote from Novell marketing guy Rick Mulholland about the methods Novell employs to reduce environmental waste within the jewelry industry.
From JCKOnline.com:
Have you ever stopped to wonder about the fate of the various catalogs, flyers, and brochures you send out on a daily, monthly, or yearly basis? Ever wondered how much of that ends up in the hands of people who may not have one of those nice blue recycling buckets next to their desks? Rick Mulholland, marketing director for Novell Design Studio in Roselle, N.J., looked at the amount of money his company was spending on paper, and he knew—from both an economic and an ecological standpoint—that it had to be reduced. Over the last two years he has been actively promoting the availability of the company’s catalog and latest brochures as PDF downloads. Mulholland says that thousands of Novell customers have downloaded the online material over the last few years. In doing so, they’ve helped to reduce the expenses and environmental impact related to collateral production and mailing while simultaneously increasing the reach of the company’s message. “About a year ago, if 100 catalogs were downloaded in a month, that was a good month,” he says. “Now, for some months we see at least 1,000 downloads of fairly large files. And I rarely send out a physical catalog.” Mulholland says his downloads in a 30-day period peaked at 6,636 in November 2007. “Imagine the cost if I had to mail them all out!” he says. Not to mention the paper waste. “If more companies encouraged downloads or electronic distribution, then less paper would be used, and the jewelry industry would be a greener industry to work in.”

Novell Syndicates Online News To Customers
In response to the vast amount of advertising clutter that is in the world and on the Internet today, Novell Design Studio allows retailers and consumers to keep up with their latest editorial and special advertising placements via the Novell News webpage. Hosted on the company’s website, interested parties can subscribe to the section’s RSS feed and have news delivered directly to their e-mail account, cell phone or personal webpage with just the click of a button. Over the past year, Novell (a leading wedding ring manufacturer which specializes in product customization) has been spreading the word about their bridal jewelry through a variety of online methods. Videos, brochure downloads, and RSS all combine to increase the reach of Novell’s unique message – your wedding ring can be made your way – and helps supplement their traditional advertising. With individual time constraints and concerns today about the impact of excess packaging on the environment, online news distribution greatly reduces the need for printed material. Customers also may quickly access additional information without further delay.
Why Use RSS to Keep Up with Novell Wedding Ring News?
RSS (Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as “feed” to whoever wants it. RSS is convenient for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from websites that are often visited or found helpful. Messages are delivered to a central location, and time is saved by not needing to visit additional websites individually. The number of sites offering RSS feeds is growing rapidly and includes big names like Yahoo News, Google News and many more.
