]]>Salmat Joint Managing Director Philip Salter yesterday told The Australian: “Right now there is no single place that they can go to perform that research.
“Lasoo.com.au is an aggregated internet site that is fully searchable and browsable for consumer to quickly find what their local retailers are promoting.”
He described it as a “web to store” strategy, seeking to link online shoppers and traditional retailers who are less likely to respond to the more traditional forms of advertising.
Salmat’s move into the digital sales channel is part of a broader plan to increase the digital element of its business model, which has until now relied on unaddressed mail campaigns, call centre and other traditional marketing efforts.
It used the announcement of its annual results to signal its move into online retail – Salmat’s full year sales for 2007 were $601.9 million, up 14.3 percent from 2006.
The business recorded net profit after tax of $44.3 million for the year to 30 June 2007, an increase of 69.1% over FY2006 ($26.2 million).
Joint Managing Directors Peter Mattick and Phil Salter said: ‘This has been one of our busiest and most
important year’s on record with many key operational and strategic initiatives implemented. We’re pleased that we finished the year with strong sales growth of over 14% and our earnings in line with guidance.”
Salmat’s call centre business Salesforce was one of its biggest profit sources, with the increasing uptake of business process outsourcing driving it to produce $243.6 million in revenue, up over 35 percent on last year’s figures of almost $180 million.

]]>According to Qantas Executive General Manager, John Borghetti, the decision to launch a reinterpretation of its iconic logo was made for reasons of practicality and to show its increasing focus on contemporary design and innovation.
He explained the new shape and composite materials used in constructing the A380 tail-plane were also considerations in the logo change: “This move also reflects the changing structure of our new aircraft – for example, the shape of our new kangaroo is a great fit for the tail of the A380 and other new generation aircraft”.
Borghetti described it as “a modern take on a design that has stood the test of time…We took great care to carry this legacy into the new design”, and said it will be progressively rolling out the new branding across the airline in the lead up to the delivery of the first A380 next August.
Qantas used the occasion to also unveil its seating and interior schemes for the A380 and its new ‘premium economy’ class for international passengers, due to be implemented across its Boeing 747-400 aircraft from February 2008 and the Airbus A380 from its August 2008 launch.
The A380 will comprise 450 seats, with 14 in first class, 72 in business, 32 in the new premium economy cabin and 332 in economy.
“The design process has included an unprecedented level of customer involvement, with many customer initiated ideas being followed through to prototype and customers participating in sleeping comfort trials and ergonomic testing of seats,” Borghetti said.
“The design process evolved over five years to culminate in a layout of 14 private suites, each featuring a 17 inch LCD wide screen video monitor, an array of personal stowage options, a unique touch screen control unit and a seat – manufactured by B/E Aerospaces’s VIP jet group – that swivels into a comfortable armchair and a fully flat, extra long and very wide bed.”
Among key features for first class A380 passengers is the lounge area with self-service refreshment bar, large sofa, seatbelts for in-flight use and entertainment screen with laptop connection, along with the Panasonic In-flight Entertainment system delivered via a 17.1 inch LCD video monitor.
The new premium economy cabin class comprises redesigned seating and is pitched at economy travellers seeking more space, comfort and an enhanced level of service. The Recaro-designed seats, with extra width and additional leg-room, also have an in-arm touch screen video monitor and integrated multiport jack swith USB and RJ45 ports, available in all A380 classes.
Premium economy passengers get use of a self-service bar, while economy passengers have access to four of these along with the USB and other PC port access available to all A380 passengers.
Borghetti said the premium economy cabin would be available gradually on B747 services to London, Hong Kong and Johannesburg from February 2008 with further routes to be added following the introduction of the A380.
Premium Economy will be located on the main deck of B747 aircraft with 32 seats in a two-four-two configuration. On the A380, the cabin will be located on the upper deck with 32 seats in a two-three-two configuration.
On the domestic front, Qantas also revealed new interiors and internal colour schemes for its fleet of B767-300, B737-800 and B737-400 aircraft operating services within Australia and New Zealand. The first of the refitted Qantas’ B767 aircraft is already in the air, with the remainder to be completed by April 2008 and Qantas’ B737 aircraft to be completed by June 2008.
Qantas will introduce dedicated domestic business class lounges at its key business airports of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbaneby mid-2008, available to domestic business and top-tier frequent flier clientele.
Along with expanded lay-out and private seating arrangements, the upgraded lounges will feature full teleconferencing equipment, digital display and projector equipment, dedicated break-out areas, expanded wireless access and more PC units.
At the check-in stage, Borgehtti said the carrier was continuing to invest in technology to reduce the time passengers spend being processed before flights, expanding the number of QuickCheck kiosks offered in domestic Australian airports and increasing the promotion of these services.

]]>The livery of V Australia was also unveiled today, sporting a design that Virgin believes builds on its Virgin Blue roots, while revealing a contemporary look symbolising the launch of a “new era of competition” on the Trans Pacific route. The aircraft will have a silver fuselage with a red tail, featuring the stars of the Southern Cross and elements of the Australian flag.
V Australia will be the fourth airline in the Virgin Blue Group of Airlines, including domestic carrier Virgin Blue, New Zealand based airline Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue, the joint venture airline between Virgin Blue and the Government of Samoa.
According to Virgin Blue Airlines Group Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey: “This is the first time in decades Australia has a start-up long haul international airline and we look forward to bringing competitive air fares and a new style of service to the Trans Pacific market.
“We had an amazing response to help name the airline and V Australia stood out among the entries. It is nice and simple, easily recognised, both understated and obvious and has a clear Australian identity”.
Both the ‘V Australia’ and ‘Didgeree Blue’ names were selected
following a competition conducted in partnership with the MIX FM radio
station.
V Australia has also applied for permission from the United States Government to commence services in November 2008, and is continuing its progress with the development of its launch route network, product and fare structure.

]]>Both models add network capabilities for delivering presentations and performing maintenance over an IP network, allowing a number of functions to be performed remotely via a web browser.
A projector’s current status can be verified and simple controls can be performed, such as powering the unit on or off.
Up to five projectors can be connected to a network and the image from a single PC can be
projected by each unit, particulary useful in large venues and when running multi-room applications in which images need to be projected from various locations.
By manually registering a PC’s IP address, images can also be projected across the country or even internationally for distance learning or long-distance communications.
This network capability allows the sending of automatic e-mail reports to remind users of
scheduled maintenance, or alert them to errors and projected lamp life.
The VPL-CX125 and VPL-CX155 are also supplied with a full size infra-red remote commander
featuring a built-in ID function. This enables the projectors to be controlled independently using a
single remote commander unit, useful for multi-projector installations in a single room and during
operation.
Other new models in the series are the VPL-CX100, VPLCX120 and VPL-CX150, featuring native XGA resolution (1024 x 768), with a range of brightness levels from 2700 to 3500 ANSI lumens.
These are supplied with a card-type remote that can be used to adjust more basic settings such as digital zoom and audio volume, or to activate Auto Pixel Alignment, picture muting and picture freeze functions.
The projectors accept a wide variety of input signals, including component and composite video,
S-video (Y/C), and computer signals up to SXGA+ (fV: 60 Hz). This flexibility allows them to be
connected to a variety of sources and peripherals. They also have jacks for a monitor output
along with audio input and output.
Upgrades to this series also mean projector maintenance can now be performed without removing the projector from its mounting location. The lamp for all models is accessible from inside the rear cover, and the filter can be reached from the front of the projector, with Soney recommending filter cleaning at the same time as lamp replacement.
RRP:
VPL-CX155 with networking: $4,295
VPL-CX125 with networking: $3,895
VPL-CX150: $3,995
VPL-CX120: $3,695
VPL-CX100 $2,995
