Tungle vs Paper

Just sent this off to Tungle, I’m curious to see how they respond…

I’m a happy Tungle user and have been doggedly trying to get my department to start using it as well but I keep running into the wall that more than one important individual in the organization uses a paper calendar. (Day planner, paper organizer, whatever you want to call it.) It would sure be great if you could put some marketing material on your website demonstrating a usage scenario and justification for using Tungle for paper users so that I could show it to people. As it is I’m having a hard time articulating why they should use Tungle to save me time when it’s their time that is more important.

UPDATE:

Just received a response from Tungle’s support, I’m looking forward to hearing more about this.

Hey Drew,
Glad to hear you’re a happy Tungle user. You’ve just pointed out our biggest competitor though – the ol’ Paper Calendar. Keeps me wide awake at night. Terrifying, really. ;-)
You’ve motivated us, we’ll be blogging about it shortly. I’m sure we can come up with something convincing!
I’ll let you know,

Thanks,
Jason

Hi Drew,

Thanks so much for your feedback! You make a great point. So great, in fact, that we’ve decided it is worthy of a full blog post.

We’ll be putting it up early next week and I’ll let you know as soon as it’s live. Hopefully, we’ll be able to solve this unfortunate dilema.

In the mean time, perhaps the people in your organization would be interested in one of Tungle’s recent releases ;)

Hey Drew,

Hope we’ve helped you out here :)

So we’ve taken the lighthearted route on this one, but in all honesty, that first tip is the winner. Time and time again, we show people the video and they get it.

I’d love to hear how this works out for you!

Best,

Erin
