Planking

April 12, 2012 By

Oh come on… have you been planking?

Planking or the so-called Lying Down game has a disputed origin.

Check out this video for a quick explanation:

It involves an activity where one has to lie face down in an unusual location. The weirder the location the better it is. Both the hands must touch the sides of the body and the toes must point towards the ground. The most integral part of the game is to take a photograph of the person in that position, and upload it on the Internet. The players strive to find the most incongruous locations and outdo each other. The term “planking” literally means to act like a wooden “plank”, hence the name. Therefore the body must be maintained rigidly for it to qualify as good planking. Planking also refers to holding the body flat, when it is supported in some regions, whereas some other parts are suspended.

Comedian Tom Green is the one who claims to have invented the game of planking as early as 1994. Again Gary Clarkson and Christian Langdon claim to have invented the game in the year 2000. Which of these is correct has not yet been proved. Apart from these two other groups also claim to have invented the prank. One group claims to have invented it in Somerset in the year 2000 as the “lying down game” and another eight years later in South Australia by the name of “planking”. Even in this case, no one knows the truth, except for probably the true founders. However both these groups have Facebook sites which boast of a lot of fans.

This game of lying down or planking has spread to a lot of places and is known by different names, in different places.

It was known as “extreme lying down” in Australasia where it was introduced in 2008, as “facedowns” in USA and Ireland where it was introduced in 2010. Introduced in 2004 in France and in 2011 in Australia, New Zealand and worldwide as “à plat venture” or on one’s belly and “planking” respectively.

The growth of planking is nothing but an example of ‘meme’. It refers to an idea which initially goes viral online to become a worldwide trend in no time at all. The game is based upon “exhibitionism”. The heart of the game is nothing but the fact t hat everyone wants their photograph to become the most popular on internet. Go ahead give it a shot and see if you enjoy the experience.

Mobile Impressions

April 11, 2012 By

Have you heard about the potential profitability of mobile impressions?

The advancement in smartphone technology has lead to a lot of big players jumping in on the action. Manufacturers teaming up with development heads devise and design strenuously for newer and better operating systems and software’s supporting the dynamic platform of their machines, in this case smartphones.

This translates into a new way to monetize your technology pastimes in the form of mobile impression monetization.

Android is the mobile operating system released by Google after the company acquired Android, Inc. The word Android literally translates to something which has a biological foundation and closely mimics a human being. Any phone that uses an Android operating system is an Android smartphone. From a technological point of view, Android consists of; an operating system, middleware and key application. Android Smartphone’s uses a version of the Linux kernel that has been modified to serve the mobile environment. Hence it is open source. The Android operating system was first released on 21 October 2008. Since then, various updates have been seen. These updates have mostly taken care of security issue or have added new features. The fourth and latest version of Android is version 2.2. It is also known as Froyo. It has been based on Linux Kernel 2.6.32.

According to a latest Global Network Research, Android surpassed iPhone OS market share for the first time on global basis in March 2011. Android is growing at a faster pace than iOS and now holds 14.5% of mobile impression share on the InMobi network. Globally, mobile impressions continue to grow rapidly, increasing by 21% on the InMobi network over just 90 days, driven primarily by smartphone growth of 34%. Android OS should exceed 40% share of smartphones worldwide with Samsung, HTC and Motorola leading the way with handsets based on the open-source platform.

In Q4 of 2010, Android passed Nokia’s struggling Symbian as the leading operating system worldwide. A growing list of vendors who have made Android as the cornerstone of their respective smartphone strategies is propelling the growth of Android. The vendors include Samsung, HTC and Motorola, all of which have doubled their smartphone market share in the course of cranking out and selling various Android handsets.

The success amongst the investors about this open-source platform is worth noticing as well. Recently, Tapjoy, mobile monetization company, is starting a $5 million fund to make it easier for app creators to shift their apps to the Android mobile operating system. It’s a vivid sign that one small company is finding it easier to business on the Android platform. Moving on, Google Nexus, one of the benchmark for quality Android devices over the past two years has gotten upgraded to Nexus 4G. Nexus 4G is rumored to be packing a dual-core Snapdragon processor. It will also run Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich”; judging from Google’s past Nexus devices, it will likely be the first phone to run the new OS.

VistaPrint: The Smart Business Model

March 17, 2012 By

When you first stop and look Vistaprint has a crazy business model.

vistaprint

I mean how do you make money when you give your products away… Isn’t VistaPrint “for- profit” as opposed to non-profit?


Well, most business owners would cringe… but don’t make that silly face yet. There might be something here that demands a closer look.

After all, VistaPrint is no new kid on the block so something must be working and they have also cornered the youth market too with pop culture marketing…

How do they do it? The give away the basics and charge for the EXTRAS!

If you start paying attention, you’ll notice that VistaPrint is EVERYWHERE.

I see advertisements online, I was on their email list for a while.. Talk about communicating with your list.. they had some new special for me 3 days a week…

And so how does VistaPrint work?
About 6 months ago, I wanted to have new business cards made. Of course I saw the VistaPrint ad, thought it was too good to be true, but ran with scissors and clicked on it and I landed on a very user friendly and easy to navigate web site.

I was able to order a very basic business card, with a logo I liked and a color scheme I liked and I was good to go. It was that simple and yes, it was free. All I had to pay was shipping… are you getting this? But the card I picked was on very basic paper, so if I wanted to impress with a nicer paper for a business card, for a few more dollars I could add that… .so much for “free” but at least I started there….

Next, if I wanted accessories to go with it.. like post-it notes, ink stamps, magnets or stationary… you know, so I could have the complete professional look… and on and on it went.

But the basic premise of VistaPrint is outstanding.

This business modality used by VistaPrint is not unlike some others you find online. VistaPrint reminds me a bit of a CPA (click per action) offer. The product is free, but you pay for shipping and hope to create customer fidelity by offering something that someone will want to use again. There’s no recurring shipping with VistaPrint, but they hope to make the recurring shipping something that YOU opt for by giving you a great product at an unbeatable price- FREE!

It’s a tough world out there and it is hard to grab a market share for any product VistaPrint is a great example of smart innovation turning into profitable business.

A physical promotional product can be excellent for keeping your particular service or product foremost in your potential client’s mind.

One way to do this is to establish your personal brand with a logo or if you work online with an avatar or photo that can represent your image.
Physical products can be great for this. Think about that attractive promotional key chain hanging on your bag, that you picked up from your last trade event and you’ll understand what I am getting at.

They can also be used as promotional tools for schools, clubs, and different charitable groups. Think of your target audience and the items that will most likely be of interest to them so you can be assured a successful promotion.

If you are looking for opportunities to dispurse your goods, think about trade fairs and displays where they are given for free to persons as a keepsake and at the same time faintly remind them of the business. When individuals get to use these goods, the business wins for itself extra promotional mileage.

Except for boosting the awareness of the public, the true alternative of promotional items could also enhance the positive retort of the public to the business’ call to action; this involves partaking in their promotional and advertising contests, answering the business surveys, or maintaining the business to name some.

Goal #3 of your promotional plan

Marketing physical promotional items may also be the vital power of small businesses that can almost not battle with big businesses in the subject of typical advertising and promotions. Small businesses are presented the chance to get maximum marketing exposure through the use of promotional items that if not would have not been achievable otherwise because of to the high cost of the standard advertising and promotional techniques.

What small business entrepreneurs have to do is to dwell on the products they like to hand out and how they will give out these stuff for most promotion for the business. If you are directing a small business, it will also facilitate you a large deal to cautiously decide where you will find your items as you will not only be able to save on cost but you will also be able to pick from the broadest assortment of selections accessible for the promotional stuff.

There are a lot of contributors for promotional products online. If you see the true source, you will also be provided creative ideas on how to publicize your business employing these goods.
