Hello and welcome to Pulse āĀ the weekly techie/businessy newsletter fromĀ @perspectiveix that wishes you a happy new year and missed you so very much! Iām your host Behrouz, and Iām delighted to be back!
Not writing Pulse for a couple of weeks helped me take a step back and look at it from various perspectives. Now, Iām even more confident about Pulseās values and its path. I know it sounds a bit abstract/generic at this point, but things will have to change to ensure constant quality content. Therefore, hereās a little request: if you find this weekly newsletter useful, help me help you more by
- sharing this link with your friends and colleagues, or
- forwarding this email to a few people who might like Pulse and asking them to subscribe; or
-
becoming a member, or
- even all the above (more often than not, the correct answer)!
Thank you ā and letās get this yearās Pulse sc-rolling ā down to the very bottomā¦

Consumer products come in various colours. Apple launched the iPhone 12 in black, white, blue, green, and red. At IKEA, consumers can purchase Billy bookcases in white, brown, birch, and black-brown. Does buying a product in a certain colour affect how consumers think and what they do afterwards?
an interesting piece of research by Yan Meng and Eugene Y. Chan published in Psychology & Marketing, in which they study how buying a product in white affects peopleās charitable behaviour as opposed to the purchase of the black version of the same productā¦

Virtual concerts: A new video format | Music Industry Blog
The global pandemic thrust the live music sector into chaos, with global revenues falling by 75% in 2020 compared to one year previously.
