Dear shareware authors, in Italy the shareware programs are very diffused, since every specialized magazine in computer science contains a CD-ROM with some titles. Despite this vast distribution, the shareware programs are not used in the correct way. This depends on the fact that the consumer doesn't often know the foreign language used by the program, but also because the concept of shareware is not clear to the more. These programs are in fact considered mere demonstrations and it is not often given correct importance to them. The consumer therefore ignores the potentialities of the programs and he often ends up thinking that the program is not useful or it is not done well. Then, there are consumers that would like to register the shareware programs that have found interesting, but they are discouraged by the slowness of bureaucracy and the services of consignment, and by the fear of losing money that must be sent abroad, the risk that the support (CD-ROM - Floppy disk) on which the program is, deteriorate during the trip of consignment. There is then, the ghost of the defective program that must be re-sended, always abroad, with a notable loss of time and money. Our firm wants to offer trust and guarantee to these customers. Trust that the public lends more gladly to a national society that entertains relationships with all the best firms of overseas. A firm that gives the guarantee of a direct assistance to the final consumer, who doesn't need anymore to worry about the doubts and the problems that can rise up during the use of the program. We want that the customer is satisfied by the program, and he can be it offering him those services and those facilitations that it is duty to furnish him. We talk about personalized solutions, at low costs, direct to the small and medium firms; the translation of the manuals enclosed to the programs; a collection of the best shareware programs in a compilation at a low cost, to let the customer know and appreciate the most valid programs on the market. So, it results evident that it is necessary, and undoubtedly more simple and profitable for the consumers, but above all for the producers, to maintain the relationships with an Italian society only rather than with quite a lot final consumers. We would appreciate to have your opinion on the creation in Italy of a distributing firm of shareware and that allows the customer to acquire the program directly in local currency, with a direct assistance in Italian language; we would like to know if you would be prepared to distribute and to sell your programs through a similar firm.
